I do not own Sailor Moon.
Thank you for reading.

They didn't know anything. They always wondered who the Moon Princess was. They never suspected she was right in front of them the whole time. After all how could I be the Moon Princess? Who am I, you ask? I am Serenity Annette de la Lune or as is more frequently referred to Serena Tsukino. It's nice to meet you.
I was a normal girl. Or as normal a reincarnated Moon Princess who graduated college at age seven with more than fifteen degrees and be able to play two instruments can be until that day. That is the day my mother's old advisor found me. Luna told me I was Sailor Moon. Well let me inform you Luna, There never was Sailor Moon. It's hard to fight monsters when you have no idea what you're doing. The others had their old training to fall back on but I had how to greet an envoy from a different planet. Then they nag about how terrible I am at fighting but never train me.
They all have no memories. Luna and Artemis' memories are extremely hazy. The others don't remember. Not even Endymion. I miss Dymion but I bump into him every single day and he's positively rude.
"WAKE UP SERENA!" Luna screamed. I rolled my eyes as I pretended to sleep. The truth was I had been awake for hours. I waited until she scratched me. Then I jumped up and started getting ready.
The citizens of Juuban moved to the side as a blonde whirlwind tore through the streets screeching, "I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" Nobody paid it much heed. It was an everyday routine. There was the everyday collision. "Watch it Meatball Head." Mamoru grumbled. "Can it, jerk! I'M LATE!" She screamed running down the street. After receiving another detention, Serena walked over to meet the Shitennou.
I plopped down on a seat at the Arcade. "The usual, Serena?" Andrew asked. "No, I'll have some of Sere's tea since nobody's around, if you don't mind Andros?" Serena asked. "Not at all." He returned quickly with the tea. Jadeite and Nephrite chose that moment to enter the room. They sat down. "How have you been doing?" I asked. "We've been fine. What about you Princess?" Nephrite asked as he ordered a smoothie. Jadeite ordered a milkshake.
Mamoru entered the Arcade ready for a sparring match to find Serena happily talking to two other men. He saw red. He walked over to hear something about memory cures.
"Asking about memory cures Meatball Head? If there was such a thing we wouldn't have people like you mowing down college students every day." Mamoru drawled. "Shut up Endy-I mean Jerk." Serena said glaring. Darien ignored the slip-off but felt like he should know the name. The two guys looked amused but a bit confused as well. Mamoru noticed her drink which was letting off steam and was a creamy beige color. "I see you laid off the milkshakes, well done Meatball Head." He said smirking. Serena turned to the other two guys. "If I killed him, would you-"She started but the blonde interrupted. "Don't even think about that." He said sternly. Serena pouted. Mamoru glanced at the two men and did a double-take. He blinked. He blinked again. There in front of him were Jadeite and Nephrite. He paled but tried to act nonchalantly. "Try studying Meatball Head, you might actually get a D- for once." He said sarcastically before walking to the counter to order his coffee.
"What just happened Princess?" Nephrite asked still shocked. "Endymion happened." Serena grumbled. Jadeite started laughing. She glared at him but when he laughed harder she gave it up and finished her tea instead. "Tell me if you get anywhere. Now, I have to go. Bye!" She waved before leaving.
At the Temple the rest of the Senshi were trying to calm Rei while waiting for Serena to arrive. "Where is that Meatball Head?" Rei growled. Serena chose that moment to burst through the doors, out of breath. Rei opened her mouth to yell but Ami interfered. "Let's just start." Ami said desperately and Luna nodded as she started talking about the Princess and the Crystals. "Did you hear a word she said, Serena?" Makoto asked. "Yeah, she said we need to find the Princess and the Silver Crystal as soon as possible or if we find the Silver Crystal we'll easily find the Princess. Anyway, I think we should defeat the rest of the Shitennou. We're already done with half of them but Zoisite and Kunzite are strong." Serena said automatically not realizing her mistake.
"The what?" Minako asked. "How do you know there are four of them?" Luna asked suspiciously. Serena realized her mistake too late. "Well the term 'Shitennou' refers to the Four Heavenly Kings, so I think it's unlikely there are more than four." Serena said nervously. "How did you know they're called the Shitennou?" Luna asked. "It was in a dream." Serena lied. Everyone could see she was lying but didn't comment. "Anyway, I'm going to ask Mamoru-san out tomorrow." Rei said happily trying to squash the picture of Jadeite from her head.
"No. No. She can't. But what if he agrees? Ahh! I'm going to go crazy." Serena thought. Rei went on chatting about her plans and Serena excused herself and left.
Luna cleared her throat. "I think we can conclude Serena isn't trustworthy." She said importantly. "How do you know that?" Minako asked. "We have some records left from the Moon Kingdom. There never was a Sailor Moon." Artemis said. "We think she might be a Dark Kingdom spy trying to find and kill our Princess." Luna continued. "Also, don't you think it's a tad suspicious that she left so soon and her answer about the dreams was obviously a lie." Artemis finished. There was silence. "So who's our new leader?" Rei asked. "Venus." The felines said together.
"Is Serena really a spy?" Venus wondered even as she stood with the others in the Park waiting for Tuxedo Mask to show up. Using Mercury's computer, they had sent an image of Zoisite threatening the city if he did not come by himself to the Park at 12am. "Where is he?" Jupiter asked impatiently. "Looking for me ladies?" Mask asked from behind them. They all jumped and turned around.
"Where is Sailor Moon?" Mask asked frowning. "We found out she is likely a spy from the Dark Kingdom." Mars said confidently. "And the proof is?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Sailor Moon is not supposed to exist." Jupiter said. "She lied to us during our meeting today and her leaving the meeting right after she messed up is a bit suspicious." Mercury finished. "So, what part do I play in this?" He asked. "We want you to take her place. When we kick her out we're going to need as much help as we can." Mars answered. He considered and nodded. "Good, we'll meet you around 6pm tomorrow here?" Jupiter asked. The Senshi left.
Sailor Moon sat in the tree as tears streamed down her face silently. Her Senshi had just abandoned her. A hand touched her shoulder. It was a hand she knew. "What do you want Tuxedo Mask?" She asked. "Are you really a spy?" He asked. "No. They're right though. I wasn't Sailor Moon then. I was someone else." She said quietly. "Who?" He asked. "What about you? Why do you do what you do?" She countered. He was quiet for a few minutes. "I need to find my Princess." He said finally. Her heart stopped. "Tell her…tell her I said she can answer some questions." Sailor Moon said quietly. "How do you know she'll listen?" He asked. "I just do." There was a silence. "Are you really going to help them?" She asked. "Yes, we just might find the Princess." He answered distantly. "I see. Well, I have to get going now. Good-bye." She said before vanishing to reappear on a rooftop a block away. He blinked before leaving himself.
He was in the fog again. The Princess was waiting for him. "My Prince, the Silver Crystal. Please." She said in that dreamy voice. "Sailor Moon said to tell you, you can answer some questions." He said praying she would answer them. There was a pause. "What would you like to know?" She asked. "Is Sailor Moon trustworthy if she didn't exist back then?" He asked. "She did exist. Just not as Sailor Moon. I made her Sailor Moon." The Princess said slowly. The fog started lifting and Mamoru woke up.
The next morning Luna started nagging me about the usual things but I ignored her and got ready for school. "Serena, you really need to be more responsible. You need to pull your act together-"Luna started before the slam of the bedroom door cut her off.
The Senshi all ignored her that day until the battle. "Why were you so late?" Jupiter asked glaring at her. "Pull your grades up and we might be a little less harsh on you." Mercury said coldly. Venus refused to look at her. "YOU ARE COMPLETELY WORTHLESS!" Mars shrieked. "We decided we don't need you." Jupiter said flippantly. "Hand over the locket and the Moon Wand." Tears glistened in her eyes but they refused to fall. She handed them over and left after one final glance behind at them.
