Okay, so this is my first fan fic ever. How fun! I guess I'll first start off with a disclaimer; I do not own Sailor Moon or any of it's characters, though this version of Sailor Earth is completely my own. I came up with her about a month ago. I'm excited about this, so please leave reviews with constructive criticism. One of my…mottos, I guess you could call it, is if you can't say something nice (or nicely), don't say anything at all. I will definitely appreciate any tips or praise (der) that anyone has to offer. I'm new at this so anything will help. I'm still not sure whether or not to repost this as M or keep it as T or whatever. I haven't decided if I'll get more…descriptive, or whatever, with the couples in later chapters. Anyway, summary below with ages and all that so you can decide before you start reading whether or not you're interested in the plot and the coupling. Enjoy! (Though if you'd rather leave the couplings a mystery, no matter how obvious it may seem now, just scroll on down to Chapter one. )

Summary

Ail returns to Earth after Ann betrays him and meets up with the Sailor Scouts, who have a new friend who moved to Tokyo from Germany. Everything is going swimmingly until, mysteriously, Jadeite and Zoicite are back and decide to pick up their fight with the Scouts (as well as with themselves). In an intense battle between Jadeite and Tuxedo Mask, a new Sailor Scout appears to free the five trapped Scouts and help Tuxedo Mask. Just who is this Sailor Earth? As Jadeite learns more about the Scouts, he begins to fall for one of the lovely ladies and turns even more against Zoicite, though it seems that she is getting help from other places and people…

Chapter One

Ail landed lightly on the edge of the roof, balancing easily on the balls of his feet as he gazed somberly over the bright lights of Tokyo. It had been over six Earth years since he was last here. He sighed, exasperated that this planet was the only place he could go. After…he came and invaded the sanctuary of the Tree of Life, Ail had no choice but to leave…he came into existence, seemingly from nowhere, and stole his life, his home…his love. Ail shut his eyes against the burning tears welling up and threatening to spill over. 'I will not shed tears on their behalves…' he thought to himself as he ran a hand through his long blue hair with slight pink highlights. Swiftly, changing into a human disguise, Ail sat down on the very edge of the ten story tall building and continued to survey the city as he thought over what to do with his life…

Usagi followed one of her best friends, Rei, lethargically into the classroom and plopped into the seat beside her before resting her head on her books with a yawn.

"C'mon, meatball-head!" The raven-haired girl rolled her eyes at her obviously sleepy friend, "I know we were up kinda late last night, but you can't fall asleep again! The professor will toast your hide if he hears your obnoxious snores again."

"Aww…but Reeeeeei…" The blond began to respond.

"No buts! I told you not to stay up watching that stupid movie after we all went to bed…at one o'clock." Rei hissed through her teeth as the class filled up. "I swear…how you are passing all your classes and keep your scholarships is beyond me…"

Usagi just shrugged and turned to face the front of the room as the professor took his place behind his desk and shuffled through a large stack of papers on his desk. "Oh great…" she grumbled, "…our tests…" Rei wasn't surprised when she saw that the still immature and irresponsible blond had failed.

"Usagi, you really need to start studying more." She said. "Actually…you just need to study."

"I know…" Usagi groaned. "Hey, who's that?" She perked up at seeing an unfamiliar girl enter the classroom, her mood swiftly changing from dismay to joyful curiosity in a fraction of a second, causing Rei to roll her eyes, once again.

Both girls watched as the young woman bent slightly to talk quietly to the now seated professor as he read a couple papers she had handed him. He nodded several times, then looked up at her and shook her hand, smiling. He gestured to the stadium seating and she turned with a slight smile and started up the shallow stairs, swiftly scanning the rows for a decent seat, which was difficult seeing as the class was nearly full.

"Who do you think she is?" Usagi whispered.

"How would I know??" Rei hissed. "But we'll find out soon." She smiled to the girl as she approached and gave a little wave to invite her to join them. She stopped beside Rei.

"You don't mind if I sit here?" she asked, nodding her head to the empty seat to Rei's right. The two friends studied the new girl, who stood relaxed under their searching eyes.

She had very short, but stylish brown hair that had asymmetrical bangs and was flipped up in the back. Subtle, but seemingly natural blond highlights shot through the thick blond hair, as well as a bright green streak of green by her right ear. She had fair skin with an olive undertone with a few freckles sprinkled over her nose and arms. She wore a large silver hoop in each ear and her upper left ear had a sparkling green stud through it. Tall and slim, the young woman could easily pursue a career as a model with her full lips and olive-green eyes.

"Sure." Rei finally said, waiting for her to sit before offering her hand, "I'm Hino Rei. This meatball-head is Tsukino Usagi."

"Hey!!" the accused meatball-head exclaimed frantically, "I am NOT a meatball head!!!"

"I'm Yama Midori." She said with a smile and a slight bow. "It's great to meet some friendly people." Rei noticed the slightly accented Japanese.

"You aren't from Japan, are you?" Rei asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No. I was born in Germany. My mother is originally from Tokyo. She met my father in Munich when she was studying abroad and then…didn't leave." Midori replied.

"Cooooool." Usagi crooned as she stared with wide eyes. "Is Germany neat??"

"I'll tell you later." Midori said, placing a finger to her lips and then pointing to the professor, "Class is beginning."

Eight hours later Rei, Usagi, and Midori strolled down the street towards The Crash, an upbeat night club where they were meeting Ami, Makoto, and Minako to introduce their new friend and hopefully 'meet some hotties!', as Rei put it.

"Oh wow…" Midori said as she saw the already ridiculously long line at the entrance to the club. "Um…what now?"

"Don't worry, you have me." Rei said with a wink while linking her arms through her companions, tugging them closer as she sauntered towards the bouncer. "Hey Lee…" she said, somewhat seductively, "Can me and my…girls…get in?" She looked up at him through her lashes and raised an eyebrow, then pulled Terra and Usagi a bit closer to her and slid her arms around their waists. Midori quickly caught on to Rei's plot and draped her left arm across her new friends shoulder and leaned her head lightly against her raven hair. She winked at the bouncer as she felt Rei's index finger lightly draw random designs on her hip.

"O-of course, Miss Rei." The bouncer blushed, bowing as he backed up and allowed them in.

The trio burst into loud fits of laughter once they were inside and out of sight of the bouncer. Their giggles were drowned out by the loud, thumping music. Usagi shrieked as somebody grabbed her arm. The girls turned to see an extremely tall, brown haired girl in tight Bermuda shorts and a loose tank top. Her black stiletto ankle boots made her even taller.

"Hey Makoto!" Rei called over the music, "Where are you guys seated?"

Makoto jerked her head back towards a side wall and grinned as she grabbed Usagi's hand, "Hold on or you'll be separated!" she practically screamed. The girls giggled again as they all linked hands and plunged into the crowd of pulsing bodies.

Makoto grinned at Midori as they slid into the large round booth that was raised off the dance floor. Somehow the music was quieter here, though one would still have to speak loudly to be heard.

"This here is Mizuno Ami," Makoto said placing a hand on the blue-haired beauty to her left, "and right next to her is Aino Minako. And, of course, you already know the other two." Midori surveyed the two new girls.

Ami was petite with fairy-like features and deep blue eyes that were enchanting. Her blue hair was short, (though not as short as her own, Midori noted) cropped at her jaw, though not quite a bob. She was very slim and seemed so young. If she was under 21, Midori had no clue how she was able to order the martini she held in her dainty hands.

Minako was a voluptuous, fair skinned woman with long platinum-blond hair. It was pulled back with a black and silver barrette so as not to cover her face, as it would if not pulled back, seeing as it was so thick. Her -.- eyes sparkled out from under long lashes and her red lips smiled back at Midori. Though she guessed Minako was over 21, Midori figured that she was drinking long before that birthday; her sophisticated look and nice body could have easily bought her drinks without being carded in earlier years.

The six women chatted idly as the three newcomers ordered drinks. Though Midori was only 20, she knew she could get away with ordering a drink. Knowing that Usagi was just a few months younger than her and, from her experiences with the erratic blond that day, she was a bad liar. So when a cute man came around to see if they needed anything, Midori quickly spoke up, "We'll each have a cosmo, please." She placed a hand on Usagi's arm to show who she meant before winking at him. He smiled and turned to Rei. 'He's probably gay…' Midori pouted.

"I'll have a black and tan." Rei said with a sniff, causing Midori to chuckle.

"You seem like the type of girl to get a beer." She grinned at the violet-eyed woman on the other side of the blubbering Usagi. Rei opened her mouth to reply but never got the chance.

"Why does everybody order for me!" Usagi exclaimed. "I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself!"

"Because you're underage and a terrible liar." Makoto said, leaning on the table and taking a long drink from her Corona. "You were almost carded that one time, remember Miss Blushy-blush?"

Usagi scowled, "Bull! He wouldn't have. Besides," she added, sticking her nose in the air, "I've matured a lot since then."

"That was two months ago." Ami pointed out in her soft voice as the man came back and set down their drinks and they all laughed.

Makoto swiped up her half-empty beer and held it up, "Here's to good times!" she cried, then added warmly with a smile towards Midori, "And a new friend." They all clinked their drinks and drank.

"U-usagi?" Came a deep male voice from the end of the table. Midori turned, with the rest of them, to see a very tall, lean man with strawberry-blond, shoulder length hair looking at Usagi in something like awe.

"Ail?!" Midori's five companions cried in unison.

"What-what are you doing here?" Usagi asked, gaping at him. She looked around, then added, "Where's Ann? Is she here?"

At this Midori saw Ail's face darken for a split second, then become placid, "She…is not here. Not with me. Not anymore at least." He shrugged.

"Where's the…" Rei began to ask.

"Not here." He replied, already knowing what she would ask. "She's with her…it…take your pick." Midori was extremely confused.

"You left her…by herself?" Minako asked.

"Cause I thought…both of you--" Makoto started.

Ail held up his hand, "She is not alone. Someone else came along and I…found it best to leave."

"Someone ELSE?" Usagi cried out, "I didn't think…" she trailed off. Midori caught Usagi's eyes flicker to her own face then back to Ail's.

"I know. Neither did I. But I…we…were wrong."

"So…now what?" Rei asked.

"I think I'm going to try to make a life here, in Tokyo." His eyes shifted to Midori, sitting on one of the ends of the big U booth. He smiled warmly. 'Lord, he's beautiful.' She thought.

"Hello. I don't believe we've met yet." He held out his had and she placed hers in his. "I am Ginga Ail." He surprised Midori, and her companions, by bowing over her hand and brushing his soft lips over her fingers.

"It's a pleasure to meat you, Ail." She responded, slightly stunned. "My name is Yama Midori."

"Mountain Green…lovely name." He smiled down at her. "Would you like to dance, Miss Midori?"

"Um…sure." She answered, letting him pull her up. He kept a hold on her left hand as she picked up her drink in her right and swiftly finished if off.

"Shall we?" He murmured. She nodded and he led her out into the mass of undulating bodies.
