Prologue - the beginning.
"And now for a brief history of our countries greatness!" The overly-cheerful teacher said in her silly capitol accent to her classroom of young students. "Please take notes." The class yawned lazily, and readied their pencils.
"It began nearly 100 glorious years ago on the moon, in a time known as the silver millennium. The people of Earth had come up with a wonderful idea for a new government, and thought that the whole solar system should join them. A rather ugly queen ruled the solar system at the time, as her mother did before her, and the mother before that. For some reason, the lunarian people worshiped her. That's when our glorious queen Beryl decided they should join our rein. She even sent her lover, King Endemion, to try to convince them, but those stubborn lunarians never gave in. That's when we attacked, and wiped out their pestering race. The other planets, helpless and lost without their princesses, who were guardians to the royal lunarian family, nearly begged to join in. And so it was decreed that each year, one boy and one girl from each planet would come forth to take part in the annual Planet Games." the teacher sighed, love for her nation dancing in her eyes. "And now, for our nations anthem." The teacher began to play a song known as 'moonlight densest', the title telling the people of Planeta that the moon kingdom was nothing short of a legend now.
Once the melody was finished, the teacher continued. "Since then, the Planet games have taken place once a year, every year. It is a fight to the finish. Can someone tell me what that means?" the teacher looked around the class, but no hands shot up. In fact, most people looked disappointed. "Well, it means that the tributes will fight to the death, until only one remains. That single remaining victor will return to his home planet with fame and fortune on his heels, and will never have to worry about competing again."
In the back of the classroom, a small girl with blonde hair and blue eyes raised her hand, innocents shining in her eyes. "But what about their family?" she asked.
The teacher's smile wavered for a fraction of a second, but otherwise remained plastered across her make-up covered face. "They, if they are between the ages of 12 and 18, will still have to compete. They cannot hide from the capitol behind those who defied it."
The girls face fell, and she wrote that down sloppily in her notes. The teacher continued. "In more recent news, a new planet from a nearby galaxy could be joining our glorious empire. The planet's name is Kinmoku. They are a very strong planet, and very reluctant, like the moon kingdom. But look at you notes, and what happened to the lunarians. We home they will not have to share the same fate." the class bobbed their head - some eager to share their countries glory with the rest of the universe, but most were merely agreeing.
The small, golden hair and blue eyed girl, thought, looked down. She knew that the Planet Games were not a glory game - they were the capitol's way of telling people who was boss - and she hoped another planet would not have to join in the murder.

So, my first sailor moon fanfiction. Kinda short, but packed with info. This is how it all started. For those of you who speak Latin, you should know that Panem means "bread", and "Planeta" translates to "Planet". This is a partial one-shot; more like a test to see if I should continue. So, should I?
