A/N: I have no claim on Sailor Moon at all other than liking it. All characters are Naoko Takeuchi's except Lia, Naria, Tari, Nia, and Rose Maiden. This chapter is kinda crummy, but I'll make the others way better. I just wanted to finally start this.
Beginner's Luck
Naria looked around and pursed her lips. Auntie should have been here by now, she thought as she moved her blue luggage closer to herself.
"Over here, Naria!" a cheery voice yelled across the crowded airport and Naria turned around.
"Oh, Aunt Lia, you're here at last!" Naria said and smiled as she hurried around others to her aunt. Her aunt grinned and hugged Naria as a boy who was standing beside her tried to pick up one of Naria's bags and failed miserably.
"Tari, you gotta have muscles, boy!" Naria said as she hefted her bags up to her elbows and grinned infuriatingly at him. He snorted and stepped aside to let his sister talk to Naria.
"Oh Naria, it's been too long! How's the family? Ooh, did you get-" Tari's sister babbled as she lifted up the bags.
"Nia, calm down! The stuff I got from the States is in my bag and I'll get it when we're home," Naria interrupted and turned to Lia, "Please tell me you have the car. I won't be able to walk!" Lia nodded and ushered them to her brand new blue Volvo. As Lia drove them to her new house in Juuban, Naria took a nap while Nia kept talking and Tari stared out the window.
"Wake up, Naria!" Nia yelled cheerfully as she popped out of the car. Naria rubbed her eyes and got out as well. Her Aunt Lia had a pretty well paying job as a nurse and as a result she had gotten a house in a pretty good neighbourhood. It had 2 floors and a connecting garage with enough space for 3 cars. Naria picked up 2 pieces of her luggage and followed Nia inside as Lia parked the car. The inside of the house was furbished with the essentials, with a few fancier things, like a plasma screen TV and an elaborately carved bookshelf filled with books.
"So, where's my room?" Naria asked as Nia popped into the kitchen.
"You're upstairs, next to my room." she yelled. Naria sighed and dragged her bags up the stairs. The first room's door she opened had a theme of planes and video games, with a color scheme of dark blue and white. Tari's room, she thought and closed the door. The next room had a theme of something that looked suspiciously like fairies and a color scheme of dark green and lavender. Nia's room this time, Naria thought and opened the next to last door. This room had no real theme, since all it contained was a desk with a laptop on it, a closet, a full size bed, and a mirror. It already had a color scheme of dark blue and black however, which mysteriously fit the colour of most of her things.
"My parents must have talked to Auntie, of course." Naria said absentmindedly as she sat on the bed and took some of her stuff out of a bag.
"I got the rest of your stuff." Lia said as she dropped Naria's other bags on the floor.
"Oh, sorry! I was just about to get the rest of my stuff." Naria said, feeling embarrassed. Aunt Lia just laughed and told her to freshen up and come down for dinner. When she left, Naria rummaged through her luggage for some clothes and took a shower in the nearby bathroom.
As she went down the stairs, Naria heard laughter, and smelled pancakes cooking. In the dining room, she saw Nia and Tari happily stuffing their faces with pancakes that oozed golden syrup. When she sat down across from Tari, Lia put a stack full of pancakes on Naria's plate. Naria dribbled the syrup and slathered some butter onto her pancakes as she watched Tari and Nia talk to each other. Naria had wanted a sibling too, since it was boring to do things by herself all the time.
"So Naria, I definitely remember you saying that you would show me the gifts you got us?" Nia asked, raising an eyebrow. Naria hurried upstairs to her room and pulled a suitcase full of gifts down the stairs. She handed out the gifts to everyone: a basket of American chocolates for Lia, 3 antique toy planes for Tari, and a large book of fairy tales for Nia.
"Thanks, Naria!" the kids grinned. Naria smiled back and for the rest of the night everybody talked about the gifts and everything that happened since the last time she had visited.
Naria woke up covered in sweat in the middle of the night.
"Another dream." she groaned. She had been having these dreams since she was little, but now they were eerily vivid, practically real.
She leaned outside and breathed in the night breeze. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her chest that radiated throughout her body. Instinctively, Naria grabbed onto the windowsill and crouched down. What am I doing? she thought woozily as she started to black out.
"Mercury, can you get a scan on that thing?" Mars yelled as she jumped out of the monster's range.
"I'm trying!" Mercury replied as she typed some commands into her mini computer. Moon rushed into the park along with Tuxedo Mask as Jupiter unleashed her Jupiter Oak Evolution.
"Where were you, Moon?" Mars screamed as she and Jupiter ran to Moon.
"I'm sorry, there was something going on." Moon babbled and breathed in deeply to recover from running so hard.
"Come on, Moon, finish it off!" Venus yelled supportively.
"Moon Healing Halation!" Moon said calmly, expecting to see the monster either dusted or turned back into a human. The monster instead decided to attack Sailor Moon. She scrambled backwards and Tuxedo Mask threw a rose that the monster managed to dodge by only a few inches.
"This isn't a monster we've ever faced! This is a completely different species!" Mercury yelled.
"I think I can help." A voice said calmly from the top of a tree, the moon shining directly behind her. She jumped down to the Scouts. They stared at her outfit: a maid outfit that reached the tops of her knees, a silver scabbard on her right hip, a dark blue mask, and her long black hair in a ponytail.
"No fair, how come she gets a longer skirt?" Venus griped, breaking the tension.
"Maybe I'm special. Anyways, you would have had a fit, right bro?" the girl grinned and winked at Tuxedo Mask. The Scouts looked quizzically at him while he just looked puzzled. The girl lunged at the monster and slashed one of its arms off. It roared and spat acid onto the girl's face. She swiftly blocked it with her sword, with no apparent side effects, and slashed its head off. It dissolved into a pile of ashes, along with its blood on the girl's sword.
"Who are you?" Tuxedo Mask asked her.
"I'm Rose Maiden. And your sister." she said.
"You–" Moon tried to ask her.
"Sorry, I've gotta go." she grimaced and held a hand to her chest. She ran towards a tree and leaped from branch to branch, heading towards the city as the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask stared at her.
"She did seem a little familiar." Moon murmured.
"Yeah. Someone from our past lives?" Tuxedo Mask asked.
"I'll check on the computer." Mercury said.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm beat." Venus yawned.
"Right, I'll see you guys tomorrow at the Crown Arcade?" Moon asked.
"Yeah." Mars replied and Mercury and Jupiter nodded.
A/N: I'm basing Rose Maiden's outfit off of the fact that I think Tuxedo Mask looks like a butler. With a mask. Throwing roses-a very different type of butler haha.
