Tittle: It's All in the Feet
Chapter: Prologue

Something went wrong, that I knew. All I remember is that just moments before I was facing down Beryl, my life slipping away. I knew I was to be reborn, but something was wrong. I didn't find myself safe at home in my bed, heck; I didn't even really find myself.
When I opened my eyes, my sight was blurry, and I could feel numerous warm bodies next to me. When my vision cleared, I screamed.
Okay, so it was more of a squeak, but what do you expect a girl to do when she finds out she's in a room full of mice and at her size too!
I started off trying to run away, but ended up toppling a few feet away as it seemed as though my feet wouldn't support me. And then it hit me as I stared down at two fuzzy blond feet, and a long bare tail. I was reborn into a mouse, a little blond mouse.
I started running around, my mind screaming ' What do I do? What do I do!' And I only paused once I realized I was on four feet.
Careful as not to wake the other mice, I tiptoed over to a shiny surface, the underside of a soda can. So there I sat in front of my er...artificial mirror, sobbing to myself, 'What do I do?'
And then it hit me; I'm still Sailor Moon right? I should still be able to transform, right? Right?!
So there I stood in my full mouse-dom, squeaking: Moon Prism Power Makeup!
It was much to my embarrassment when nothing happened.
I turned bright red under that blond sheik of fur that I had now acquired and thought, 'So if I'm still Sailor Moon...sort of, then what would Sailor Moon do?'
"Cry to Luna?" my subconscious yelled.
'No,' I countered back. 'Ask for Luna's help.'
So I crept out of the crevice that I had seemed to take residence in and finally took to realization to where I had ended up. 'Right house, wrong body,' I thought to myself as I discovered that I was in my very own kitchen. I mean, how could I not recognize my own kitchen?! I had spent enough time there. The viewpoint did look different though.
The countertop seemed to be as high as a mountain; the grass outside looked as tall as trees. 'We should really mow it,' I mentally added.
'So where would Luna be right now?' I asked myself, knowing my new mission. 'My room of course!'
So I ambled up to where the stairs should be, having slight difficulty getting through the carpet, as it was nearly knee deep. 'Great, I was short as a human, and now I'm as short as a mouse. This sucks.'
After quite a bit of time actually, I made it to the stairs, their shadowy form looming over my head. I gulped and perspired as I stared up at the shier height of them. 'They were never so tall when I was human! How the heck am I supposed to climb those?'
Getting as close to the edge of the first step as I could, I reached my furry blond paws as far as I could, and stretched my legs as far as they would go but I was still too short. I slumped over, my front paws dangling between my back legs in a positively human position, and mentally muttered, 'I hate being vertically challenged.'
I then spotted something that gave me a glimmer of hope. There, where the spindles meet the steps of the stairs, was a flat surface all the way up. And even I, the seemingly tiniest mouse in the world, could reach there.
Reaching high up, I grasped onto the edge and pulled myself up, nearly sliding off in the process. The darn banister was very slippery. 'Dang it Mom, why'd you have to dust it?!' I thought to myself as I dug my nails into the smooth wood, making some rather undesirable scratch marks along the way.
I do believe that it took me at least an hour to climb those insufferable stairs as I reached the top, falling over in exhaustion in the process. The time was now 1 a.m.
'Just a few more minutes and you will be safe and warm in your own bed. I'll wake up tomorrow and find all of this to be a dream,' I reassured myself as I got back up and crawled (or would it be scurried?) to my closed bedroom door.
The moonlight drifted lazily under the door, and for once, I realized, it was good to be so small, as I slipped ever so easily under the door.
What I found led me to a shock.
Off the edge of the bed, I could se one bare foot, it's leg clad in pink bunny pajamas, MY pink bunny pajamas!
'So if I'm *here*, then who's in THERE?!' I thought as I stared at what I thought was my foot. Quicker than I had ever moved that night, I scurried through the debris to get across my bedroom floor, and up my bedpost.
I was led to no great dissapointment as I looked at the sleeping form. It was me, but only different. She was curled up in a ball as she slept, unlike my usual sprawled position.
I sat there for a moment and wondered, 'Am I really Sailor Moon?'
I didn't have much time to ponder that, ( AN: yep, Usa the moon mouse was actually pondering), as I felt a big black shadow blocking the moonlight.
Before I could react the creature was on me. A big...black...CAT! And it wasn't LUNA! I was pinned, and squeaked as I immediately tried to run away, but that big black paw was too heavy for me.
I looked up into the enormouse eyes of my captor, staring at the reflection of the white moon spot in my blond fur, and then I realized they were some of the darkest blue eyes I had ever seen, familiar blue eyes, almost human...
~~~~~~~~Author's Notes~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, I do have a strange sense of humor, I guess some of you have guessed that by now. So, what'cha think? This one shouldn't be too many chapters long, but I would like to leave you with these questions three:
1. If Usagi is a mouse, then who is in her bed?
2. If Usa is a mouse, are there others?
3. Who's blue eyes is Usa staring in?
Ja ne!
