AN: This is a faithful, true to the word (except for the japanese names for Sailor Moon [somewhere along the line I changed them]), copy of my first ever fanfiction, written before I even knew what fanfiction was. I was in sixth grade at the time, and had just discovered this amazing comic called Ranma 1/2 and cartoon called Sailor Moon. *grin* Anyway, hope you get a kick out of the nostalgia. And yes, there are other chapters, as I actually finished the story. I do not own Sailor Moon nor Ranma.


Morning in Tokyo: "Ahh, that was a good night's sleep. Oh no! Not late again! What's Haruna-sensei gonna do now!? Luna, why didn't you wake me up?"

"I did, you just turned over and went back to sleep." Luna stretched her claws and settled back on her cushion.

"Ahh! I totally forgot about the meeting last night! Ami-chan, Rei-chan, Mako-chan., and Minako-chan are going to kill me!"

"You were too wrapped up with Mamoru-san, Usagi-chan. I told you so."

"Luna, you were there; fill me in on what happened, please!"

A look of disdain passed across Luna's face, which was rather remarkable for a cat. "Call on the communicator if you want to find out what happened."

Usagi sighed, ran out of the room, and out of the house.

"Why do I put up with her?" Luna sighed.

"Well, she is Sailor Moon, and Princess Serenity. But other than that, she is a pain."

Luna whirled around, and sighed with relief. It was only Artemis. "You startled me, Artemis."

"Yeah, well, I couldn't help coming to see you. There's been a sign of a new Nega Verse army."

"What, where?"

"At the South Pole, in an ancient crater," Artemis said solemnly.

"Oh no! I've got to inform the scouts about this!" Luna exclaimed.

"You can't. They're out shopping, and told me not to bother them."

"But it's a school da-. Oh shoot! It's Saturday," Luna realized. "Usagi-chan's gonna kill me!"

Usagi arrived at school, but it was dark and gloomy. "It already started, or I missed something yesterday," Usagi drawled. She pushed open the doors and walked in. It was silent, sounding like no one was there. Her footsteps echoed eerily, and even her golden pigtails swishing in the air made a sound. "I can hear my own breath," she thought. Suddenly, she heard a sound, and turned around…

In another plane of Earth, Akane was just finishing her workout. She tugged the belt of her gi tighter and walked into her house. Ryoga appeared and said, "That was a nice job on Kuno, Akane."

"Thanks" she replied.

Ranma appeared. "How you doing, P-chan?"

"Don't call me that!" Ryoga said, and blushed.

Suddenly, there was a boom, and Shampoo crashed through the wall.

"Ranma!" Shampoo exclaimed with delight. She then immediately threw herself in Ranma's arms.

"Ranma, you pervert!" Akane exclaimed and kicked her fiancé out of the house and into the Tendo pond. Ranma came up, spluttering.

"Why did you do that!?" she exclaimed. She then came out of the pond and walked towards the baths. "Macho chick," she called over her shoulder.

Akane promptly threw a table at her fiancé. Then she dusted herself off and went to her room.

*

Usagi got a chilling feeling like she was there, but not there at the same time. She felt herself getting dizzy and she fainted. Right before she blacked out, she heard a popping sound.

*

Akane snapped her head up and looked around. Everything was okay, but she still had a feeling that something was wrong. Suddenly, she heard a pop, and hurried outside.

She found a long yellow haired girl around 14 years old in her pond. "Wha-!?" Akane exclaimed.

*

Usagi awoke underwater. She quickly surfaced. She was in a pond. "Where am I?" she wondered. "By the way, where did I come from!?"

A girl was staring at Usagi. She was about her own age, maybe 2 years older, and was dressed in a gi. "Wh-who are you?" Usagi managed. The girl looked startled, and stepped forwards. She then opened her mouth.

*

Akane was startled. The yellow one spoke Japanese, like herself. "I…I'm Akane. What's yours, and how did you come here?"

"I don't know how I came here. I only know my name, which is Usagi," the girl replied.

"Well come on out of there, and I'll get you dry, and later we can talk," Akane said.

"Thanks," Usagi said, climbing out of the pond. Then Akane realized that Usagi had long hair, almost to her feet.

"I wonder where she came from?" Akane thought. "I wish I knew."

*

Usagi was warm. Akane seemed nice, and her sisters were most definitely nice.

"I wish I knew where I came from," Usagi said longingly. "All these thoughts keep flitting through my head. Anyways, you're being really nice to someone you don't know. For that, I thank you," Usagi said shyly.

"It's okay, I understand. I only wish I knew where you came from," Akane answered.

"Why is she being so nice to a complete stranger?" Usagi asked herself.

*

"I feel like our destinies are linked. But I don't know why," Akane explained to herself, "Maybe Cologne might know!" Akane had a great idea.

"Who's Cologne?" Usagi asked.

"Someone who is very knowledgeable, and might know how to send you back." Akane had a sudden feeling of sorrow to see her newfound friend leave, "Let's go!"

"But what do I wear; I mean, these clothes are soaking wet."

"Oh, sorry. You can borrow some of mine," Akane answered bashfully.

*

After Usagi was outfitted, they set off. "I hope this Cologne person can help me," Usagi thought.

Suddenly a boy with a pigtail ran up, "Akane, your father wants to know what you are doing." He asked, "Who is this?"

Usagi got the feeling he was talking about her.

"I'm just helping a friend. Now go away, Ranma," Akane answered sternly.

"Now hold on a minute, I was just asking." Ranma backed away.

"Bye Ranma," Akane called to his quickly disappearing back.

"Who was he?" Usagi asked.

"Oh, only my fiancé," she answered.

"Her fiancé?" Usagi thought.

*

"Ah, finally there," Akane announced. "Hey Cologne. There's a friend who needs your help," she called.

"Come in," an old voice answered. Akane beckoned for Usagi to follow her inside.

"Ah, I sense something is wrong. You want to go home, don't you?" An old, tiny woman pointed to Usagi.

"Yes, I do," Usagi answered timidly.

"The way to return home is simple. The plane-warp will pull you back in…" The crone thought deeply. "1 minute!" Cologne said, surprised.

"Oh, Usagi, I will miss you so," Akane told Usagi.

"I will miss you greatly also, Akane. For your kindness, and in helping me," Usagi answered. They then hugged, fast friends.

"Time." Colgne said softly. Suddenly Usagi was gone. Akane collapsed in a heap, crying. "Bye Usagi. I will miss you," Akane whispered softly.

*

Suddenly Usagi was back. She remembered everything. She then stumbled home, weary. "Oh Akane, I will miss you as my friend." She then collapsed on her bed, crying herself to sleep.
