"SERENAA! WAKE-UP!" The blonde, meatball hair style girl just rolled over, squishing the black cat screaming in her hair. "MEEEOOWW! SERENA!"
"WHAT! Luna, what do you waaaannttt!" Serena sat-up in bed, finally letting Luna breathe some air.
Gasping for air, Luna responded, "Serena, once again you are late for school and if you do not hurry, the girls are going to leave you running to school!" Serena brushed off Luna and slowly got out of bed. She looked at clock and freaked.
"AHHHHHH I'M 15 MINUTES LATE? LUNA! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP!" Luna sighed and shook her head. Serena almost seemed to break a world record of speed dressing. She threw on her school clothes and ran out the door, grabbing breakfast on the way. She sprinted towards school barely catching up with Ami, Mina and Lita before they entered the school.
"Serena, you really should start setting an alarm clock. You might be able to wake-up on time." Lita said, walking inside. "Well, uh, I do, but for some reason it never seems to go off."
Ami responded, "It would, if you didn't turn it off."
Serena sighed, "Ami, you aren't helping."
"Oh, uhm, excuse me." The four girls stopped and turned around to see who was talking to them. A tall girl, with wavy blonde hair past her shoulders and a shy look on her face was standing with a friend. The other girl had reddish-pink hair, in two buns, and was slightly shorter than the other.
Mina asked, "Yes? Can we help you?"
The blonde girl answered, "Oh, uhm, my name is Sebrena and this is my friend, Alayla. We're new and we can't seem to find our way around. Could either of you possibly tell us where this room is?" Sebrena held out a piece of paper.
Ami answered, "That room is right down this hall, second to last door on your left. You could probably just follow Serena since she is in that room too."
Serena, gleefully said, "Sure why not! The more the merrier right?"
Alayla said, "Yea, sure."
Mina turned to Sebrena, and asked, "Hey, how did you get silver looking high-lights in your hair? I've never seen anyone with that before, its really cool."
Sebrena, slightly taken back, stammered, "Uh, well actually, it's always been like this. Uh, due to lack of pigmentation in my hair. Hah, I've tried dying it but it won't take."
"OoO what a pretty locket, Sebrena! Can we see what's inside?" Serena eagerly asked, pointing to Sebrena's heart shaped golden locket around her neck.
"NO! I mean, uhm, it doesn't open. It's something my mother gave me long ago and uh it hasn't been able to open for a very long time."
"Oh, wow, okay sorry to hit such a sensitive area," Serena responded, embarrassed.
"Heh, it's not your fault really, I'm just a little jumpy today, hm." Sebrena tried to smile as kindly as possible. This wasn't a very good start and she couldn't screw this up.
"Okay, well I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't really want to be late. Especially since its my first day." Alayla said, as she started walking down the hall. Lita, Mina and Ami waved good-bye. Serena and Sebrena started to walk towards the room.
"Does your friend always act to hostile towards others?" Serena asked.
"What? Oh, uhm, Alayla is just that way when she first meets people. She is just very protective when she doesn't know people, especially when it comes to me. She becomes very protective then, always has been."
"Wow, almost sounds like one of my friends, Rei. She goes to a different school but she is very hostile. Well, at least towards me sometimes." Serena smiled and Sebrena nodded. When they walked into the classroom, Sebrena took a seat in the back next to Alayla. Serena took her usual "nap" corner by the window.
"Sebrena, don't be so quick about becoming friends with them. You don't know how they will react when they find out the truth." Alayla said sternly.
Sebrena sighed, "Alayla, you know why we are here. I can't simply sit around and hope they notice us because then we would be here forever." Alayla simply shook her head in response.
During lunch, Serena insisted that Sebrena and Alayla join her and the girls for lunch. Sebrena smiled and agreed along with a hesitant Alayla.
"So, Sebrena and Alayla, either of you play any sports?" Lita asked.
Alayla was the first to respond, "Well, I've always been fond of gymnastics. I absolutely love being able to do all those flips."
Mina responded, "Oh wow you should try to join our gymnastics team! They're really good and you'd like it!"
Serena said quietly, "But just between you and me, its impossible to make. Believe I've tried."
Ami sighed, "Well, Serena the only reason why they didn't let you join is because your balance was off quite a bit."
"Thanks for boosting my spirits Ami ."
"Just trying to speak the truth, Serena." Ami turned to Sebrena, "So how about you? Athletic at all?"
Sebrena blushed a little, "Well, actually, I've always been an ice skater. I did it all the time at my old home. It makes me feel so, I don't know, relaxed and at ease. It's as if when I'm on the ice, nothing can shatter my hopes or dreams."
"Wow! That's great! You should totally join the team! I know they need another girl for team ice skating. They have the guy but they just need a girl! You'd be perfect!" Lita said excitedly.
"Oh? Who is the guy?" Sebrena asked inquisitively.
Both Lita and Mina answered dreamily, "His name is Blaze and he is a MAJOR hunk! He just transferred here about a month and a half ago! All the girls are completely ga-ga over him!"
Ami quietly laughed, "Including the both of you. However, he hasn't dated a single girl since he's been here. He is very intelligent and so very kind. He's in my Math class."
Lita and Mina looked at Ami and then at each other. Mina said, "Ah ha! You have a slight crush on him too, don't you Ami! I can see it in your eyes!" Ami blushed with embarassment but refused to answer. Sebrena smiled at the situation. She liked these girls very much and she could tell they had a strong bond.
After school Alayla and Sebrena parted, both intending to try out for the sport they loved. Sebrena, however, didn't have her ice skates with them and with out skates it would be hard to try out for the team.
"Excuse me? Are you here to try out for the team?" Sebrena looked at the coach, who also happened to be her English teacher, Prof. Tsuki.
"Oh, yes, I am Professor Tsuki."
"Oh, Sebrena! What a pleasure to see you here! You don't hjave to call me 'professor' here, 'Coach' is just fine!. Well, here you can use these skates today to try out with. Just go ahead and lace them up, and I will have some music play to see what you can do." Sebrena took the skates and went to sit on a bench. She quickly put on the ice skates. She felt at home as soon as she had put them on her feet.
"Ok, Sebrena ready?" She nodded 'yes' and skated gracefully out on the ice. Coach Tsuki signaled for the music and it began. It was a sweet melody that put Sebrena into a trance almost. She skated with such grace and perfection, it amazed Tsuki along with the other figure skaters. Her jumps had great timing and her landings were near perfect, with little flaw. When the song had ended, everyone stood there, stunned.
Coach Tsuki started clapping, "Sebrena! That was beautiful! Where on Earth did you learn to skate like that!"
Sebrena was embarassed, "Well, actually, it came with a lot of practice."
"Well, whatever it is, you have certainly made the team! Now, lets see how you are in couple skating. We need another girl." Tsuki looked around, "Blaze! Come and meet your new partner!" Blaze skated over to Tsuki and Sebrena. Sebrena became instantly flustered by the site of him. She could now understand why Mina and Lita were so ga-ga over him. He was tall, blonde, blue eyed and just seemed too perfect for words. Yet, Sebrena felt as if she knew him from another time. She could sense his mysterious personality. "Blaze, this is Sebrena. She's new here."
Blaze smiled gently and held out his hand, "Hello, Sebrena it's a pleasure."
Sebrena gently touched his hand and wanted to faint. There was something about him that made her melt. She thought maybe she was just feeling what all the other girls felt, but she felt something more. She felt secure in his presence as if nothing bad could happen as long as he was there.
She stammered, "H..hi... it's nice to meet you too."
Tsuki interrupted, "Ok! Well now that introductions are over, why don't you both just do a standard routine. You know, build up trust between one another." They both nodded and Tsuki went to help out a different group of skaters.
Blaze and Sebrena started to slowly skate together building up their rythmic timing with one another. They began to skate backwards as everyone else watched. The others couldn't help but watch. There was something about the two of them that seemed to perfect. They were more graceful together than any other olympic couple skaters. "Ok, Sebrena, do you trust me enough to try and lift you?" Sebrena's eyes widened. No one has ever tried to lift her into the air, especially not while skating on ice.
However, no matter how frightened she felt, she also felt trust for him. She nodded her head in response. Blaze smiled, "Ok, good. Here we go." Blaze put his hands on Sebrena's waist and easily lifted her into the air while continuing to skate. Sebrena felt as though she was on air. She was quick to fall back into place when Blaze put her back down. Very few people on the figure skating team ever trusted their partner to lift them into the air. Everyone was astonished and amazed.
Meanwhile, Alayla was amazing the gymnastics coach with her amazing flexibility and tumbles. Alayla was a natural on the vault and the balance beam. She had zero fear of falling and went quickly with grace. Her flips were perfectly timed and she hardly ever seemed to be close to falling or losing balance. The coach was speechless. Needless to say Alayla was possibly the new gymnastic star of the school.
Later, at a local ice cream shop, the five sailor scouts were having a snack. "So, does anyone think its a little strange that we haven't had any new enemies yet?" Rei asked, while Serena and Rini stuffed their faces.
Ami nodded, "Mm hmm. However, we shouldn't be to quick to breath a sigh of relief. Now that you mention new enemies there are these two new girls at our school."
Serena paused, and said through a mouth full of ice cream, "You can't mean Sebrena and Alayla, do you Ami? I mean, sure Alayla reminds me of Rei, but they're nice as can be."
Mina agreed with Serena, "I think Serena is right. They are the last people I would suspect as a new enemy. Besides, whoever said that the new students have to be enemies? Though I do get this strange vibe from both of them. As if I knew them once and its not a nega-vibe or anything like that."
"I know what you mean, Mina. I get the same feeling." Lita responded slowly finishing her milk shake.
"Hmm, maybe we should check them out. Obviously I haven't met either of them yet, but we still can't be too careful." Rei said, looking at Serena and Rini. Suddenly the girls heard a scream. They quickly looked outside the window to see, what could be the new enemy, trying to attack an innocent little girl.
"Looks like its the new enemy you've been wondering about, Rei. We better go girls!" Lita said. They all agreed and hurried outside.
"That's it you little brat! If you won't willingly come with me I'm going to have to use force! My queen needs your child-hood youth and innocence so she can live forever!" Whatever this enemy was, it seemed female and wasn't too fond of children.
"NO! I don't want to go with you! Just leave me alone!" The little girl, probably about Rini's age, was trying to escape.
"Whoever said you had a choice!" Just as the enemy was about to grab the child, Sailor Moon and the others interferred.
"Wait right there! How dare you try to steal this poor child away from her home!"
The enemy turned around, "Huh? What?" She looked up at the Sailor scouts. "Who are you!"
"I am Sailor Moon!"
"I am Sailor Mini- Moon"
Then Sailor Moon and Mini-Moon said together, "We are the Sailor Scouts and we fight for love and justice! We protect innocent children from the likes of you! In the name of the moon WE WILL PUNISH YOU!"
The other sailor scouts added, "I am Sailor Jupiter!"
"I am Sailor Venus"
"I am Sailor Mars"
"And I am Sailor Mercury!"
The enemy yawned, "Yeah, yeah! What? Do you guys rehearse those lines or something? Sheesh, that was dull. Now, if you DON'T mind I will be taking this child with me, as previously planned."
"I don't think so! JUPITER THUNDER CLAP CRASH!"
"EEEE! OW OW OW!" The enemy was jumping around like an idiot, trying to dodge Jupiter's power. "GR! That's it! This little pip squeek is NOT worth all this! Kamoto! FINISH THEM!" The enemy disappeared but a new one appeared. It was dark and surrounded in chains.
"Try to unwrap your way outta this one!" Chains started flying everywhere and the Scouts were running in every direction.
"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" Sailor Mars shot out her power, but it only made the chains hotter.
"Oo Thanks for the extra discomfort Sailor Wimp!" One by one the Sailor Scouts were being suffocated by the heavy chains.
"Run Mini-MoOoOoN!" Sailor Moon shouted, trying to clumsily get away. It seemed like it was too late. A heavy, fire chain was shooting right towards Sailor Moon.
"I don't think so!" Suddenly someone grabbed the incoming chain and stood infront of Sailor Moon and Sailor Mini-Moon.
Kamoto exclaimed, "WHAT! There's more of you! And and you stopped my chains! No one can stop my chains!"
"Except for us! Sailor Heart! GO!" Another Sailor Scout, obviously by the name of Sailor Heart, appeared.
"HEART...SHOCK...WAVE!" Sailor Heart's shock wave was powerful enough to overcome the fiery chains and break them into pieces, freeing all the Sailor Scouts.
Sailor Venus turned to Sailor Moon, "NOW SAILOR MOON!"
"Right! MOON SPIRITUAL HEAT ATTACK!"
The power, for some reason, didn't even seem to phase Kamoto. Kamoto laughed, "What? Is that it!"
Sailor Moon was stunned, "It...it didn't work!"
"GALAXY... POWER...STRIKE!" The Sailor Scouts looked at the mysterious new ally and watched in amazement as her power went full blast and quickly defeated Kamoto. They had never seen anything like it before.
"AHHH! KAMOTO NO MORE!" Kamoto was gone and all that was left was a black line of smoke.
"Who... who are you!" Sailor Mini-Moon quickly asked. The two new scouts were very different looking. Sailor Heart's outfit was just like there's except is was a two-piece style. Her colors consisted of Red and Dark Pink and she was wearing shoes that was a mix between Mars and Venus' shoes. Her gloves, were normal until the reached past her elbow, and they pointed out to both sides. Her skirt wasn't like the normal mini skirt. It looked like the other's except, it was as if the ends had edges cut into them and every other pleat was red and the other pink. She had a symbol on her head which whas of a heart, with a circle in the middle, and one of these but pointed upwards. Her hair was in two buns were covered w/ pearls around them. She also had a spike bracelet.
However, they were more amazed with Sailor Galaxy. She looked EXACTLY like Sailor Moon, except a different outfit. The general outfit was much like Sailor Heart's except her colors were a mix of red, gold, silver and green. She had the same gloves, her boots were like Sailor Moon's except they spiked out at the top of her legs, and the symbol on her head was of four moons. One, much like the one on Luna's head, and upside down one connected to it, and two on the side much like a Cresent moon. It seemed as if two were real and the other two were mirror images. Her hair, was just like Sailor Moon's but with silver high-lights.
"Who are we? I am Sailor Galaxy and this is Sailor Heart. We are the Sailor Guardians."
"The...the Sailor Guardians? But...but... we've never heard of you before! Where have you come from?" Sailor Jupiter asked, in absolute astonishment.
"I am sorry Sailor Jupiter, but for now we can not answer that question. We are not sure when, if ever, we can answer that question." Sailor Galaxy responded.
Sailor Moon, managed to ask, "But... but why do you look just like me? I don't understand this!"
Sailor Heart stepped in, "We can not answer that either. If you are able to know then we will tell you. Until then..." With that both of the mysterious Sailor Scouts disappeared.
"Wow, that Sailor Heart was pretty hostile, in a protective way, don't you think?" Sailor Mars asked. "Sailor Moon? Hello, are you there?"
Sailor Moon just stared at the spot where Sailor Galaxy and Sailor Heart had once stood. "She...She had a locket... just... just like the one Sebrena has.."
