Sneaking up to an open window, she heard voices inside. "What
news from my sisters, Huginn?" That was Mother's voice, she recognized
immediately.
      "My Lady Urd and my Lady Verdandi salute you and charge me to
give you this message: 'To Our dear sister Skuld Ravenhair, She Who
Builds Tomorrow, Captain of the Valkyrior, and Lady of the Dawn,
greetings.'"  The voice was raspy and small, and heavily accented. It
was about to continue, but Mother interrupted.

USAGI:  Reincarnation must run in the family.

      Usagi's mouth gaped. "Y-You talk?"

HUGINN: Yes, and since you know two cats that can do the same, why does this surprise you?

      Chibi-Usa smiled. "We're finally going to go see Auntie Urd?
Hurray!"  She started upstairs, presumably to pack.
      Usagi was beyond confused by now. "Auntie Urd? Who's that? What's
happening?"

IKUKO (wielding a croquet mallet):  A crossover, dear.

      Chibi-Usa paused on her way up the stairs, turning on her
heel. "Well, actually she's Great-Aunt Urd to me, 'cause she's *your*
aunt, but she told me she doesn't want to feel any older than she has
to, which is a lot 'cause she's Goddess of the Past, but I don't think
she pays much attention to that, 'cause there's a lot less past than
there is future, which is why everyone in Heaven got so upset when
Ikuko-mama came here for a while, but anyway she's said she'll find me
someone who's lots less annoying than Elios, and anyway I gotta pack,"
she said, and scampered breathlessly up to her room.

Heres the scary part:  That all made sense.  PERFECT sense.

      Usagi lost sight of her new friend in the crowds as the three of
them exited the station. For a moment, she wanted to go look for her,
but both Mother and Chibi-Usa were urging her to hurry. "Your uncle
Keiichi's probably waiting for us," Mother explained.

Where is Mr. Tsukino?
As they piled out of the car, a moderately young woman with

white hair dashed out of the main building. "Skuld!" she yelled,
waving a piece of paper. "Father wants to see us - all three of us,
plus your kid - in his office, yesterday. Get ready for some fast
talking!"

Which of course is uneccesary since the Almighty is omniscientient.

     *Thump*

     Ami looked up from her calculus textbook to see what the noise
     was. The cause was immediately obvious; a manga volume, one Usagi
     had given her at the beginning of summer break, had fallen to the
     floor and was now lying open. She stood and walked over to pick it
     up, but before she reached it, the page began to glow
     brightly. The light level quickly shot up to a near-blinding
     glare, and when it faded, Usagi was standing in front of her.

     "Um." For once, Ami was speechless, briefly. "Did I just see you
     climb out of a shoujo manga, Usagi?"

Oh.  My.  God.

     "Yep! Sorry I'm late, I mixed up the volume I gave you with the
     volume I gave Naru, so when I popped out in her room I just had to
     explain everything and that took a while, but I'm here now. So,
     what do you want?"

     Usagi giggled. "Oh, that's right, you didn't know what my summer
     job is." She cleared her throat and struck a pose vaguely
     reminiscent of one of her "Sailor Moon fighting for love and
     justice" poses. "I'm Usagi Tsukino, Goddess Fourth Class, with the
     Goddess Relief Office. You, Ami Mizuno, have been selected to
     receive one wish."

Oh.  My.  God(dess).

     "Goddess? What, did the others help you teleport here to play a
     practical joke on me?" Ami had never really believed in gods or
     magic or anything supernatural before her, ah, recruitment for the
     Senshi, but she'd never really ruled it out either. Either way,
     though, this was more than a little bit strange.

     Usagi, smiling still, began to explain. "No, see, one day... and
     then Aunt Bell... and we really have to introduce Aunt Urd to Mina

Urd and Mina, the Dirty Pair of shoujo.

       I sometimes wish I could work

     with a computer like that, you know- huh?" She looked over at her
     friend, to see Usagi with her face tilted towards heaven, a look
     of intense concentration on her features.

Oh.  My.  God(dess) II.

     Ami nodded distractedly and opened the envelope, spreading the
     contents out on the desk. There was a letter from Skuld Ravenhair,
     welcoming her to her internship at Yggdrasil Engineering
     Solutions, Ltd. and telling her a bit about the company, the pay
     scale, and under what circumstances she could look forward to
     having a permanent job once she graduated from school, a letter
     from Charles Babbage, welcoming her to the Yggdrasil team and
     explaining a little about the Computer itself, a revised schedule
     for the next school term, noting her internship in place of the
     usual required English course (Ami spoke it like a native), and a
     hand-written note from Odin Himself, notifying her that her first
     four months of pay would be withheld to cover the legal costs of
     starting up a company in Japan for her cover story. "Wow," Ami
     breathed. She couldn't wait!

You can tell He's omnipotent, just look how fast the red tape gets cut. :)

All in all, very cute and VERY original.  Please continue it.

Some suggestions:

Ami's teleport medium: Love letters (e-mail me privately if you get the joke here)
