A/N: Well, here goes nothing. My first fanfic. Please R&R, no flames. Thanks! Oh, and since I suck at character descriptions, here's a quick rundown of the Senshi's initial uniforms: All 3 are basic fuku. Sailor Charon's primary color is dark blue and secondary is light blue, Sailor Nix's is primarily black and secondarily yellow, and Sailor Hydra's is green and aqua. (Like I said, my first fanfic, please bear with me!)

Late one night, three young women were gathered in a dimly lit room. The oldest, a silver-haired woman of twenty-five, was pacing back and forth, having a heated discussion with a darkly beautiful woman with long black hair seated on the floor by a low table. Or rather, she was speaking heatedly, while the dark-haired woman was staying maddeningly calm.

"Would you mind elaborating on why you've called this meeting so late?" Said the silver-haired woman angrily.

"I had a vision last night." Began the dark-haired woman, taking a sip of her tea. "In this vision, I saw another Senshi."

The silver-haired woman stopped her pacing and turned to the woman on the floor.

"B-but that's insane! Another Senshi? We're all here!"

"I know, Karen. I'm just telling you what I saw, and I saw a fourth Senshi."

"No! Marie, you must be mistaken!"

"Her visions have never been wrong. Maybe-" Started the youngest of the trio, who had been silent up until now. She had a short blond bob and was still in high school, soon to start 11th grade.

"Quiet, Lena! This is impossible! There are three Senshi, one for each of Pluto's moons! This is unheard of! If another Senshi were to appear, that would have to mean..." Karen trailed off. Like she said, for as long as Sailor Teams have been protecting the peace of their moons, planets, and galaxies, another Senshi had never appeared when all others were present, so none of them actually knew what Marie's vision really had to mean.

"Well, um, I have homework, so I should be getting home now." Lena broke the silence first. "Um, bye." She grabbed her backpack and left Marie's house, the Sailor Team's base of operations.

"Yes, I have to go too." Karen said curtly. "I guess we'll find out what this means when the time comes."

Marie nodded her good-bye, and with that, Karen stood up and left, disappearing into the night.

...

"Geyser...Engulfing!" Yelled Sailor Charon, and a blast of water shot at the yoma, causing it to fly into the side of an apartment building.

It had been a month since Marie Weaver, or Sailor Nix, as she was at the moment, had had the vision that a new Senshi would appear. None of them had brought it up since that night, but it was far from forgotten. There was nothing any of them could do about it, so they were spending their Saturday afternoon the way they often did – taking care of yet another yoma that had popped up. This one had made it's home in an alleyway in between two apartment complexes.

"Nice shot, Karen!" Said Sailor Hydra, better known as Lena Stern. "Now it's my turn!"

Sailor Hydra ran towards the yoma and kicked it, sending it flying into a trash can. "Yeah! Take that!" She cheered, pumping her fist. "All right, Marie, finish it off!"

Sailor Nix stepped out of the shadows and raised her arms. "Night-" She broke off as a side door to one of the apartment buildings opened and a young brunette girl walked out, holding a bulging trash bag. She looked up from her load, and as she took in the scene, her eyes opened wide and she screamed. Seizing the opportunity, the yoma leaped at Sailor Charon, causing her to drop her henshin stick on the ground, and it skidded to a halt near the girl.

The brunette had dropped her trash bag and was pounding on the door, which had apparently locked behind her. A few yards from her, the yoma let out a roar, and she squealed and started fumbling in her pocket. Moments later she retrieved a key from her pocket, but much to her dismay, she dropped it, and it landed near Sailor Charon's henshin stick. She reached down to grab the key, but when she stood up, she was instead holding the henshin stick, and both it and her started to glow.

"What- what's going on?" She screamed, looking from the stick, to the yoma, to the sailor fuku-clad girls, to her own glowing skin.

All three Senshi looked over at the girl, and Sailor Nix's eyes widened. "The fourth Senshi!" She said to herself. Out loud, she added, "You there! Raise that stick in the air and yell 'Charon Moon Power, Make-Up!'"

"What?"

"Just do it! If you are what I think you are..."

"Insane is what I think I am right now, but if I'm insane, I guess I have nothing to lose..." The girl sighed, then raised the stick into the air and called out, "Charon Moon Power, Make-Up!" As she did, her eyes met Sailor Charon's, and something seemed to pass between them, quite literally – a light, just on the edge of vision, seemed to connect them for just a moment, and suddenly, the girl was wearing Sailor Charon's uniform, and Karen detransformed and passed out.

"What- what- what the?" The girl stammered, looking herself over.

Sailor Nix looked at the girl. "Now yell, 'Geyser Engulfing!'"

The girl looked at Sailor Nix like she was insane. "What?"

"Just do it!" She said forcefully.

"Um...Geyser Engulfing!" Yelled the girl. A burst of water shot out of her hands, propelling her into the wall, but also striking the yoma, causing part of it to disintegrate.

"Woah, nice shot, newbie! Now watch this!" Sailor Hydra launched herself at the yoma, delivering a powerful kick to its chest, and with that, it disappeared. "See that? That's what I call awesome!" She exclaimed, but no one was paying attention.

"What...what...what just happened?" The girl was stammering, staring at her hands.

Sailor Nix was checking Karen's pulse. "She's going to be fine, she's just unconscious. Let's get her to my house." She said, gesturing to the frightened young girl.

...

Half an hour later, all four girls were detransformed and settled in at Marie's house, Karen still unconscious.

"Will someone please explain what just happened?" The girl - who had introduced herself as Sharon on the way over – said for about the tenth time.

"All in good time. Tea?" Marie offered.

"I don't want your stinking tea, I want to know why that ridiculous get up suddenly materialized onto my body, why that...thing was in the alleyway, and why I blew it's arm to bits with water that came out of my hands!" Sharon yelled.

"That thing is called a yoma." Marie said, sipping her tea.

"Hey, what's with all the suspense? I flipped out worse than she did when I first transformed." Lena said. "Sharon, see, the thing is, you're a Sailor Senshi. There are supposed to be three of us, but you're the fourth, so we don't know what's up with that, but in a nutshell, you're supposed to help us protect the world from yoma."

"Oh, well, that explains everything." Sharon said sarcastically.

Marie sighed. "And this is why I was going to explain. Look, Sharon. In the 31st century, our solar system was ruled by Queen Pluto. Her protectors were Sailor Charon, Nix, and Hydra, the guardians of Pluto's moons. But one day, a mysterious thief from the 21st century suddenly appeared and stole the Garnet Rod – that was basically the source of her powers. When that happened, the solar system was thrown into a state of chaos. Queen Pluto knew she couldn't bring peace back to the solar system without the Garnet Rod, so she used the last of her strength to send us, the Sailor Senshi, to the 21st century in the hopes that we'd be able to prevent the ultimate destruction of the solar system." Marie explained.

Sharon stared at Marie. "Okay, I've never really been one for all that science fiction-y time travel stuff, but if I assume you're telling the truth, you're from the future, and you've been sent back in time to prevent someone from the present, or past, or whatever, from committing a crime... in the future?"

"Exactly." Marie confirmed.

"Right. Great." Sharon said, flopping down onto Marie's couch. "So, what was that thing called again? You know, that big black thingy in the alley?"

"They're called yoma. We don't know where they come from, but they followed us from the 31st century, and we assume they came into existence right around the time Queen Pluto lost control of the solar system. Until they posses a human being, they look like they did when you saw them – big, black, almost human shaped creatures. That's also part of our job, to prevent the yoma from overrunning the planet. Marie here can sense when one appears, and luckily for us, they're never too far from where we live. Probably because they all want to destroy us!" Lena said brightly.

"I see. So our job description is basically, prevent a time traveling thief from destroying the future, and kill these yoma things before they kill us first?"

"If you wanna look at the glass half-empty, sure."

Sharon had a snappy comeback all ready to go, but she was interrupted by a voice from the other room.

"Marie?"

Marie looked up from her tea. "Karen's up. In here!" She added loudly.

A few moments later, Karen appeared in the doorway of Marie's living room. "What happened? Who's she?" She asked, pointing at Sharon.

"You don't remember? We were fighting a yoma, when the fourth Senshi appeared." Lena answered.

"Vaguely. But why did I wake up in Marie's house?"

Marie and Lena exchanged glances.

"Well, when she transformed, it was weird, like...it was like your transformation left you. And went into Sharon." Lena began. "And then you, well, passed out."

"Left me? What? Impossible." Karen strode to the table where Sharon had left her henshin stick and grabbed it. "Charon Moon Power, Make-Up!" She cried out. The seconds crawled by slowly as nothing happened. "What's wrong? Why am I not transforming?"

Marie stood up and put her hand on Karen's shoulder. "I think that your powers left you when Sharon gained hers."

Karen brushed Marie's hand away and glared at Sharon.

"Um, hi?" Sharon said uncertainly.

"Karen, look-" Marie started, but Karen interrupted her.

"I'm leaving." She said simply, and stormed out of the house.

Marie silently watched Karen leave, and Lena turned to Sharon and smiled.

"She'll come to her senses later. Anyway, welcome to the Sailor Team!"
