My name is Ariana Triton. I am 16 years old. I occasionally feel like a fish out of water. This is my life.

"Ariana you're going to be late for school again!" I hear as my mother yells at me. I suppose I should open my eyes. I look at the clock. It's 7:30 already?! I am going to be late.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier!?" I yell as I quickly change into my school uniform. I dash to the kitchen and grab the smoothie my mother made me. "I'll see you guys later!" I yell as I run out the door. My parents and my brother wave at me.

Alright I admit that I am occasionally late to school everyday. Sometimes school doesn't grab my attention like it should. I would much rather be reading or eating or singing or sleeping or my personal favorite swimming. Running to school is not one of my hobbies.

"Come on little crab!" I hear a bunch of kids scream down the alley. A 10 year old kid seems to have cornered a red crustacean. The group of kids pick it up and begin to shake it.

"Hey! Leave that poor crab alone!" I yell running over to the kids. I seemed to have scared them off. "You poor thing" I cup the tiny crab in my hands. He has sand on his forehead which seemed to be bothering him. I wiped it off. "There you go little guy" His black little eyes stared at me as if studying my face. I noticed the crab had a seashell mark on his forehead. Before I could look at it more closely I heard the school bell ring off into the distance. Oh I'm so late, I won't make it in time.

Running up the steps of the school I see my friend Holly wave me over. "You are so lucky that Ms.H isn't here yet."

Holly has been my friend for a while. She understands my weirdness. Plus she enjoys my odd swimming habits. I know I can always count on her.

"Woo! I beat her here. You better write this down this is new for both of us." We walk into class. Everyone is seated as Ms.H walks in. As she begins to talk, I look out the window. I can see the rolling waves hitting the shore. The sun shining on the water makes a beautiful sight. How I wish I could be at the beach right now. Its the only place I feel like I belong.

"Ariana? Hello? What do you think Shakespeare is satirizing in his sonnet?"

"Oh sorry Ms.H wasn't listening."

"Clearly. You've spent the whole day looking out that window. Ariana you're a smart girl don't lose yourself. Now go eat some lunch, maybe that will keep you awake."

I grab my lunchbox and find my seat next to Holly. She tells me about how her mothers jewelry store is having a really big sale. "We should go after school, we deserve something special after the test we took yesterday. How did you do on it?"

I haven't even looked at it. Math was never my strongest point, English and Music, however were. I took the test out to see how I did. Looking at my face Holly must have guessed I received another low mark on my test. "Don't worry Ariana, you'll do better next time."

Once school was over Holly and I walked to her moms store. When we finally arrived there was a super long line. Luckily her mother is the owner of the store and was able to get us in no problem. There were so many beautiful items. The seashell necklace caught my eye, but looking at the price made me change my mind. After looking at all these jewels I decided I needed to get home. There were so many people I was beginning to get a headache. I said goodbye to Holly and her mother and left.

Oh man is mom going to be mad once she see's this grade. Maybe I just won't show her. I crumpled the test and threw it behind me.

"Hey! The world isn't your personal garbage can. Atleast recycle it"

I turned around. My crumpled test was in the hands of some guy. Who is that? He had deep blue eyes, and perfectly ruffled black hair. He was very attractive, and he also seemed very upset.

"Is this yours?" I nodded. "Wow you should brush up on your trig, redhead."

I lost it when he called me redhead. "You know what buddy, I have a name. It's Ariana." Who did this guy think he is? Going around calling me names. He doesn't know me. At least I don't think he does. He feels familiar... somehow. Nah, I'm probably just tired.

"Whatever you say redhead." He placed the crumpled test in my hand and walked towards the beach.

The nerve of that guy. No manners or anything. Let's hope I never run into that jerk again.

"I'm home!" My mom rushed to the door and hugged me. She asked about my day. I told her about sonnets, but not about my test. I quickly excused myself and left for my room. I was exhausted, and she could see it on my face.

I dragged my feet up the stairs. Once I was in my room I plopped down on my bed. Oh so comfy, I could take a nap. I closed my eyes, but I heard my window creak open. I slowly opened my eyes and saw black beady eyes staring back.

"Eek!" What is this crab doing here? Then I noticed the seashell spot on its forehead. Is this the crab I saved this morning. How did it find me?

"Ariana, I wanted to thank you for saving me this morning."

Wait a second, did that crab just talk? And in a Jamaican accent?

"My name is Sebastian, and I have been looking for you Ariana"

I am going back to sleep, this is all a dream. "Goodnight"

"Ariana this is not a dream. Wake up! This is going to be harder than I thought."

I heard something plop onto my bed. I opened my eyes and saw a locket. It was round, sea foam green and beautiful. There was a seashell in the center, it was decorated with pearls and diamonds.

"What is it? Is it for me?" I asked as my curiosity grew.

"It's a locket, just for you. You have been chosen as a sailor soldier. Odd things have been happening around the city. Things that the police can not handle. When you wiped away the sand off my forehead I was able to locate you. You now have a mission . You must find the other sailor soldiers and defeat the enemy. As well as locating the princess."

"What's a sailor soldier? How do I find them? Why me? Wait Sebastian why is the locket glowing?"

"I want you to yell Sea Trident Power!"

I decided to play along. "Sea Trident Power!" After a few seconds, I was in my room but in a different outfit. It was similar to my school uniform. Around my waist I wore a blue mini skirt with a red bow in the back. My red boots were a bit below my knees, and with little seashells on them. I looked in the mirror and noticed I looked like a sailor. My bow was red, but in the middle there was my sea foam green locket. My arms had gloves on with red cuffs. The white body suit has short sleeves and a blue sailor collar. My hair was clipped back with white barrettes. On my forehead lay a tiara with a white pearl in the center.

"What is all this?" I look over what I'm wearing, and I look good. I then heard Holly's voice through my barrettes. "Oh no! She must be in trouble, she sounds like she needs help."

"So now you believe me Ariana?" Sebastian asked.

"I don't know what I believe, but I know I must save Holly." I jumped out my window and dashed to Holly's place.

I finally arrived. I pushed opened the door, which I slowly started to regret. I saw Holly all tied up and pushed against a column. Her mother turned around, but instead of seeing Holly's mother, I saw a dead looking woman with a black shape on her forehead. My fear grew.

Sebastian went to clip the rope off of Holly, now that the creature was distracted. She seemed knocked out. I hope she's alright.

"Who are you?" asked the creature in her raspy voice coming near me.

As if on quo I answered "I am the soldier of love and justice. I will right wrongs, and triumph over evil. I am Sailor Sea, and in the name of the Sea, I will wash you up."

"Sailor Sea? I've never heard of you. These fools who bought jewels earlier today have given me energy." She pointed to a dark corner. Red eyes looked back at me. They were people who were at the store today. They have been brainwashed.

These minions came after me. I did not know what to do, so my next big plan was to run around the store. My path was blocked, I had nowhere to run. I was up against one of the columns. I knew this was the end. I saw one of the minions raise her hand, as if preparing to hit me. I closed my eyes as I prepared myself for what came next.

But it never came. My eyes opened and immediately saw a rose. "Don't give up Sailor Sea. Believe in yourself." I heard a voice say. I traced his voice and saw a figure near the window.

"Now Sailor Sea use your tiara and yell Sea Tiara Slice!" yelled Sebastian.

I took off my tiara and shouted "Sea Tiara Slice!" Like a form of magic it began to spin like a boomerang. My tiara started to glow. It hit every creature who was under the spell. They were safe. I caught my tiara and placed it back on my head.

I ran out the store before anyone saw me. "Nice job Sailor Sea." I heard the familiar voice again. I looked over and saw him. He was very tall, and wearing a black tuxedo with a cape, top hat, and mask. He actually looked good. He was dreamy too.

"Thank you for the support, but who are you?" I wanted to know more about this guy. He did save me.

"I am Tuxedo Mask. I will definitely be keeping my eye on you Sailor Sea. Until next time." He disappeared into the night.

Wow, what a charmer. All I got to see were his beautiful blue eyes. My heart kept racing as my mind wandered back to him. I want to know more about him.

"You did a really good job Ariana, especially for starters. All along that monster was posing as Holly's mom. This means the enemy is already started to take advances against us." Sebastian called out to me. He crawled onto my shoulder and patted my hair. "Lets go home."

The next day at school Holly was telling everyone about Sailor Sea. Which proved that everything that happened last night was not a dream. Great, another thing to add to my full plate. Well I know Sebastian will train me, and it will get easier once I find the other Sailor Scouts.
