Chapter 13: Hotaru's Softball Game!  Chibi Chibi's Transformation!
	Minako, Hotaru, and Ami were talking about the school sports together.
  "I signed up for basketball.  Taiki-chan's playing!" giggled Minako.  "Oh, really?
  Well, I'm going to be on the swim team with Yaten-chan.  She says it's the one sport
 that doesn't make her sweaty," said Ami.  "Hey, Hotaru," said a familar voice.  Seiya
 came behind them.  "We can play softball together.  I'll teach you how to play if you
 don't know how," said the raven-haired Light.  "Well, okay," said Hotaru.

	The two of them headed for the softball field.  "We can practice here.  See?  
You first need to take your shoes off," said Seiya.  "Why are you doing that?  Your feet
 will get all muddy," said Hotaru.  "How else do you expect me to use this weird-looking
 shoe?" asked Seiya, sticking her foot in the baseball glove.  "Um, that looks like it
 goes on your hand," giggled Hotaru.  "My hand?  Oh, right!" said Seiya, putting her 
shoes on her hands.  Hotaru fell over giggling, though she knew that if she wanted to
 learn how to play this game, she would have to get instructions some other way.
	
	Ami looked up from her reference book.  Who else did she see at the library 
but Hotaru, struggling with carrying a bunch of books on sports.  "I need to figure 
out how to play softball.  Seiya-san isn't much help," panted Hotaru, setting the books
 on the table next to Ami.  "Really?  What's she doing?" asked Ami.  "First of all, 
she thought the glove was footwear, and then she put her shoes on her hands," explained
 Hotaru.  "Put her shoes on her hands?" repeated Ami, surprised.  "Who would do such 
a dumb thing?  My shoes are on my feet," said Minako, popping up behind them.  
"Minako-chan!  What are you doing here?" asked Ami.  "I'm flirting with that guy over
 there," she said, pointing to a young man who was reading at a different table. 

	That evening, the two older Lights were having an argument.  "Seiya, you are
 such an idiot!  You joined a team for a sport you don't even know how to play?" 
scolded Yaten.  "I thought I knew how to play softball, but it turns out you can't 
even tackle people in it," whined Seiya.  "Tackle?  Football is the only sport in which
 there is tackling," said Yaten, giggling at her older sister's stupidity.  "Just you 
wait!  I'll learn this sport!" shouted Seiya, stomping out the door.  She headed for 
the baseball field, where she found Hotaru practicing with Chibi-Usa.  "Hi, kids!  Let
 me play too," said Seiya, picking up the bat.  "Sure.  We're practicing for the big 
game tomorrow," said Hotaru.  "There's a game?  Then I better start my target practice,"
 giggled Seiya, picking up the ball.  "What are you going to do?" asked Chibi-Usa.  
"Watch me hit the ball off my head!" squealed Seiya, as she put the ball on her head.
  She swung the bat, but aimed too low, hit herself in the forehead, and fell over, 
unconcious.  "Eeeek!  Call the ambulance!" shouted Chibi-Usa, rushing over to a nearby
 phone.  She called the ambulance, then the Lights' number.  A few minutes later, Taiki
 came over.  She looked like she had just gotten out of bed, as her hair was loose, 
sweeping across the dirt, and she was wearing what looked like a lavender nightshirt, 
and a towel was wrapped around her waist.  "I'll go with Seiya-oneesan to the hospital," she 
said.  At the same time, Usagi also arrived, ready to pick up Chibi-Usa and take her home.
  "What happened here?!" she exclaimed.  "Seiya-san knocked herself out with the bat," 
answered Hotaru.  "How are they going to replace her in the game tomorrow?" asked Usagi.
  "Well, you could go in her place," suggested Chibi-Usa slyly.  "Me?!" exclaimed Usagi.  "Please?" added Hotaru.  "Well, okay!  I'll help save the game!" agreed Usagi. 

	The next day, it was time for the softball game.  "Are you sure you're ready for
 this?" asked Chibi-Usa.  "Yes.  You stay in the stands with Chibi Chibi," said Usagi, 
patting her on her pink-haired head.  Before the game could start, Aluminum Siren 
approached the coach and took her Star Seed, turning her into the phage, Sailor Leader.
  Seeing this, Hotaru, Usagi, and Chibi-Usa went to a place they thought was a good 
hiding place.  "Moon Eternal Power!"  "Saturn Crystal Power!"  "Moon Crisis Power!"  
"Make Up!"  Unfortunately for her, Hotaru was too close to the door when she transformed,
 and Aluminum Siren could see her.  "She must have a real Star Seed!  What power!  
Sailor Leader, get her still so I can get her Star Seed!" commanded Aluminum Siren. 
 "I am Sailor Saturn!"  "Sailor Moon!"  "Sailor Chibi Moon!"  "In the name of the Moon..."
  "We shall punish you!"  "Pretty words, girls, but I know who you are, Sailor Saturn,
 or should we say, Hotaru Tomoe!" shouted Aluminum Siren.  Sailor Moon pointed her wand
 at the phage, ready to turn it human again, but it knocked the wand out of her hand.
  Chibi Chibi, who was watching the whole thing, stepped over to the wand and touched 
it, curious.  Lights flashed around her, and she turned into the Sailor Senshi, Sailor
 Chibi Chibi!  "Sailor Moon!  Heal the phage before it gets away!" shouted Chibi Moon.
  "Right!  Silver Moon...Crystal Power Kiss!" shouted Sailor Moon.  Aluminum Siren 
left, determined to get Sailor Saturn's Star Seed some other way.
	
	The game was almost over, and the score was tied.  Hotaru was up to bat.  
She watched as the ball sped towards her, and she hit it with a resounding smack.
  She raced around the bases, and made it to home!  Their team won the game!
