Darien saw a dark area ahead of him. It seemed to be the only part of this place that wasn't an expanse of white, fluffy pillows. He continued running to it, slipping on the pillows under him every few second.

Approaching the dark region, he realized that it just a black wall, some sort of end to the plane. "Maybe I can find a door..." he reasoned. Darien slowed down as he came up to wall. He put his hands up against the wall to feel it, but discovered that it wasn't a wall, just space. And his hands disappeared as he put them through the curtain. He toed the line and found that the pillowed floor was gone as well; there was some chasm behind the black partition.

He lay down on slowly inched his head through the barrier, wondering what lay on the other side. But nothing did. The moment his eyes went in, everything was black. He felt blind. And cold. And nauseous. He began to worm back out, but the darkness seemed to be holding on to him. Sucking him in. He pulled harder and escaped. He immediately stood up, but quickly fell back down from the nausea and began to choke up bile.

"Well, how am I supposed to let her know that I found you?" Sailor Venus asked, hitting her communicator.

"I'd be careful, Mina. You lost your first one--well, second one. You don't want to break this communicator, your original communicator."

"Shush, Lita. They're difficult to break."

"Tell that to Serena," retorted Sailor Jupiter.

"We're supposed to meet Raye back here, though. And I don't know how to reach her."

"You guys split up?"

"Yeah, she went that way."

"So why don't we just follow her?" Jupiter began walking towards the door.

"Well, we're on the wrong floor, for starters..." Mina mumbled.

"Huh?"

"She was on the ceiling. Everything is screwed up here." She gestured at the Escheresque staircases hanging above them.

"Well, it beats standing around here," Lita stated matter-of-factly as she swung open the door.

Rini pushed the heavy cardboard box out of the way. She wasn't quite sure where she was going, but she knew that it was away from the Negamoon. She was in some dark closet. Tinsel spilt out of the box as it tipped over. It didn't matter though. She knew it wasn't real. It was probably no more than a remnant of some Chistmass-stressed woman's dream from several years ago. She continued to shove the brown boxes, digging her way deeper into the storage closet. Dim light from fifteen feet back gave her the ability to see what she was doing, but she didn't even need that. She was running on instinct and would even know how to navigate the packages in complete darkness. But complete darkness was what she was running away from. There was a small door attached to the side of the next cardboard box. She ripped it open and squeezed in.

She was now on a large tree branch, and she could see entirely from the not-so-natural daylight above her. Rini glanced back and saw that she had crawled out of a hole in the tree trunk. Should she climb up or down? She looked down. The ground was only four feet away.

The pink-haired girl jumped and landed on the ground, which gave way before springing her back up, like a trampoline. She saw a shining lake in the distance and knew that the water was her next destination.

On a large marble platform, the air started to swirl, forming a miniature twister. Feathers began to appear, carried by the blowing wind. Sailor Moon and and Sailor Mars fell to the hard ground.

"Ow..." muttered Sailor Mars.

"I'm getting better at it! Nobody passed out that time!"

"None of us passed out when you transported us to Darien's apartment last time."

"Yeah, but I did! Sailor Moon smiled, then she began to cheer, "I stayed awake! I stayed awake! Who stayed awake! Sailor Moon stayed awake. Uh-huh!"

"Great, but where's Rini?" Raye looked around. They were standing on a blue marble platform, surrounded by some sort of large bubble--they were underwater. "If this bubble pops, meatball-head, I'm going to kill you."

"Well, let's just hope it doesn't then."

"Okay, but how do we get out of here?"

"We're not getting out of here," Sailor Moon said.

"What?!?" Sailor Mars screamed, hitting Serena over the head. But she just ignored the blunt assault and pushed Raye back to the ground. From the marble, with an aching rear end, she then asked, "Why did you bring us here if we can't get out?!?"

"We can get out, but we're not going to. Something inside me knew that this is the place to rescue that pink-haired brat. So we're going to stay here until we rescue her."

"Your lapses into maturity creep me out, Serena."

"I'm bored. Can we play Miss Mary-Mack?"

Sailor Mars sat up. "No."

"Okay, two doors," Sailor Venus mumbled. "One is open. You think Raye went through that one?"

"But," said Jupiter, "doesn't Raye always close the door behind her?"

"Does she?"

"I think so."

"I've never noticed it."

"I have."

"So," concluded Mina, pointing to the green door, "we should go through this one?"

"Why not?"

The two Sailor Scouts stepped through the doorway and found themselves in the multi-doored room that Raye had been in shortly before, with all five doors now open. "What now, Sherlock?" Sailor Venus said triumphantly.

"This isn't a contest."

"You're just mad 'cause you were wrong."

"Well, maybe she got frustrated with this puzzle and forgot to close the doors behind her. I mean, look at those rooms! Every single one is the same!"

"Well, why didn't she just go back out the door she came in then, huh?" Mina said, stepping back out of the room through the green doorway.

Sailor Jupiter looked and saw that Sailor Venus was simply in another of the five-doored rooms. "Question answered."

"Okay, fine, fine," Mina mumbled, stepping back into the same room with Lita. "How do we get out then?"

"You forget that we're super-heroes, don't you?"

"I really doubt a thunderbolt or a crescent beam will get us out of here, Lita."

"No, but a dragon can find a way out for us!"

Sailor Venus still looked a bit confused.

"I know I haven't used this in a while, but why not, right? Jupiter," she said loudly as the antenna rose from her tiara, "Thunder, Dragon!!" Bright sparks flew from her forehad and hands, coalescing into the shape of a dragon, about one-foot tall.

"It's kinda tiny," muttered Sailor Venus.

"I'm tired, okay?"

"Whatever."

"Great--"

Mina giggled.

"--dragon, please help us find our way out of this maze!"

The serpentine electricity nodded its head with a crackling noise and split into five segments, one going out each door.

"It should be back with the way out soon," said Sailor Jupiter, nodding.

"Great dragon!" Sailor Venus announced before bursting into laughter.
