Chapter 1
The first thing I remember is waking up that day. I was in my bed, in my apartment, Lita and Amy were watching TV and talking in the living room already. The red numbers of my digital clock across the room glared 11:30 at me. I groaned and rolled over again.
Saturday is my favorite day of the week. No work, no obligations, just sleeping, eating and having fun. Although I used to loathe missing the Saturday morning cartoons, I noticed that as I got older the cartoons just weren't what they used to be. What had happened to my Smurfs and Ninja Turtles? I could no longer enjoy a bowl of Cocoa Krispies and sing along to the theme songs. So now I sleep in and enjoy my Krispies later.
I finally pulled myself from my bed and staggered into the living room swiping hair from my face and rubbing my eyes. I yawned and crashed onto the nearest couch. Lita and Amy watched the spectacle from the kitchen table.
"Welcome to the world of the living." Said Lita rising to grab a new bowl from the cupboard. "Hungry?"
"Stupid question." Said Amy sipping her OJ.
I grinned at her and hurried to the table. "What are we doing today?" I asked filling my bowl with my Krispies and snagging the milk.
"Well Amy and I were just discussing maybe doing something new." Said Lita resuming her seat.
I cocked an eyebrow. "What do you mean new?"
"Well," said Amy looking at Lita before turning to me "Do you know that costume you have from Halloween?"
"You mean the Sailor Moon costume?" I asked shoveling Krispies into my mouth.
"That's the one." Said Lita. "We wondered if you wanted to do a little, cos- play."
I dropped my spoon into my cereal. "Are you guys yanking my chain? You really want to dress up and 'play' Sailor Moon." Lita grinned at me and Amy nodded. "I know you you're just humoring me Amy, and Lita, I know you like the show as much as I do, but ...are you serious? You want to play Sailor Moon all day?"
"We figured you would like the idea." Said Amy beaming at me. "You deserve something nice today, you've been having a rough time lately. Lets have some fun!"
I sat in shock for about thirty seconds before I jumped up out of my chair knocking it to the floor. "Awesome!" I exclaimed pumping my hand in the air. "I'm gonna go shower really quick and then get my costume. You guys still have yours right?"
"Yup, we'll change while you're getting ready." Said Lita rising and pushing me toward my room. "Hurry up and we'll set up the living room."
I hugged her enthusiastically and rushed to my room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lita turned back to the table and started to clear the dishes. "Are you sure this is going to work?" She asked starting the sink and rinsing out bowls. "The last few tries have only begun to make her miserable. I'm beginning to think she'll never remember."
"We're just lucky that she doesn't realize we're the ones making her miserable." Said Amy whipping out her cell phone mini computer.
"I still think we should just bash her over the head again and pray that it works." Said Lita loading the dishwasher.
Amy sighed and punched a few buttons. "I can't guarantee that will work. It may, in all probability, only make the amnesia worse. Another blow could do her in. She could wake up and not remember us at all."
"If we don't get her back soon, we'll really be in trouble though. The last two youma we fought we were barely able to kill. I guess we never realized how important she really is." Lita sat back down at the table and sipped her juice. "I didn't want to ask, but have you...have you noticed a reduction in your powers?"
Amy looked up from her computer at Lita. "I wasn't going to say anything..." Began Amy removing her glasses. "I suppose now is as good a time as ever." She stood and paced the dining room for a moment before turning back to Lita. "Basically what's happened is a regression. Rei noticed it and I know Mina has but she's afraid to say anything. Essentially, with Serena in the condition she's in currently, we've regressed back to our regular powers. We have what we started with when we became senshi. Without Serena's knowledge of being Sailor Moon, and most importantly the Moon Princess, she doesn't know about the Silver Crystal. Although that doesn't keep it from existing all together, as we know for that to happen she would have to die, it does keep her from using it."
Lita sat for a moment stunned. She had been feeling weaker lately, she figured she was tired or imagining it. She could hardly believe that it could have been true. "So...what do we do? I mean, suppose she never remembers. All the 'coincidences' we've fixed up have caused nothing but trouble. The last time Luna tried the mind meld, Serena collapsed, I was afraid she wouldn't ever come to."
Amy twirled her glasses a moment. "I've been running separate outcomes to imagine what would happen should she never regain her memories. At this point, it seems we may loose almost all of our powers. We'd be nearly as helpless as normal humans. At some point our transformation pens will stop working and the next time a youma appears, well..."
Lita swallowed her juice slowly. Never be a Sailor Senshi again, she couldn't imagine it. Her whole life now was being a Senshi. All her friends, the world, what would happen if they couldn't transform. She pounded her fist onto the table and Amy winced from across the room. "We can't let that happen. We have to get her back, we need her, and the world needs her. If the wrong person found out what was going on, I can't imagine the consequences." Lita said standing.
"Exactly." Amy said replacing her glasses and putting her phone in her pocket. The girls turned as they heard the shower from the next room cut off. "That would be our cue" Said Amy taking out her transformation pen. "This has to work. We have to bring her memories back somehow. If need be I'll ask the other girls to join us, but for now I think we should keep it simple. She doesn't exactly get along with Rei at the moment considering their history and she barely remembers Mina if at all."
Lita grabbed her pen from the counter as well. "I hate to think what Darien must be going through. I saw him walking down the street the other day he looked like he'd been run over a few times. Never even looked up when I said hello, I don't think he even heard me and the last time Serena saw him she practically ran the other way."
"Well, that's another thing. I was thinking..." Began Amy when Serena's door flew open.
"Hey guys, let's do one from Season one, those are my favorite." She said beaming from the door.
"Sure Serena." Said Lita smiling. "Hurry up we're almost ready out here."
"Ok!" She said squealing and slamming the door.
Amy and Lita exchanged another look. "I'll go over that with you later, its one more last ditch effort. We'd better get ready."
"Right!" Said Lita raising her Pen. The two girls called their transformations. Outside a black cat watched lights flickering through a few cracks in the blinds. 'Good luck girls,' she thought 'It's up to you now.'
