Like in Digimon´s case, I decided to do my remake of Sailor Moon. In this remake, I´ll change a bit Usagi´s personality, but I´ll try to not make her loose her fun side. I love Usagi in both animes and manga, specially in the first anime, but I think in wasn´t necessary to make her with so many lacks of qualities in the beginning.
Another significant change that I made is to turn Usagi´s blond hair to platinum blond. In my opinion, is the right hair color for her ( not dark blond and not white ). Minako will have golden blond hair.
You´ll see that I´ll give a lot of importance to Usagi in a way that many of you will disagreed. Is because I´m tired of seeing in both animes and even in manga always someone interfering with her protagonism and underestimate her. So, if there is someone who doesn´t agree that Usagi deserves to have a bigger importance than what she has ( and I know these kind of persons exists ), I advice you to not read this story.
Since I´m a fan of fringeperson story of Sailor Moon " Sail Smarter, not Harder ", I based myself on it to do this remake. This is the link to her story, that shows Usagi with a different personality.

Enjoy yourselfs.
It was 10 p.m. and Usagi was in front of her laptop. The girl with 14 years old, with pale blond hair ( almost platinum blond ), that she was using with a particular hairstyle ( with two odangos, followed by two long ponytails ), was with her big blue turquoise eyes ( shining like pearls ) focused in the video that she was posting in her youtube´s channel. She liked to post songs that she liked to sing and she was having some fame because of that.
A few seconds after she posts the video, she sees a comment appear from someone with the user name "AinoMinako". She saw a gold blond girl in the photo of the user.
" Hey, MoonDreamer! Your voice is so beautiful! Don´t stop doing this videos. My life wouldn´t make sense without them".
Usagi laughts with the user´s comment and writes to her.
" Thank you for your support! I´m expecting finish my next song for the next week".
Right after she sends the message, she hears her mother opening her room´s door. She understood that she was there because she heard her laughing loud.
- Don´t make to much noise that you´re brother is already sleeping. And its late for you too. You´ve school tomorrow.
- I now, mom. I promise that I´ll not take much time.
- Alright. No more than ten minutes.
Her mom leaves her room and she turns her attention again to the screen. Surprisingly, she saw that "AinoMinako" didn´t wrote anything else and she thinks that she already left. Since she didn´t had any more things to do, she turns off her laptop and went to sleep.
By the sky that surrounds earth, a beautiful girl dressed with a white dress descends graciously to the arms of her beloved one.
Usagi wakes up before the girl in her dreams could kiss her beloved one. The alarm´s sound was to much loud and she damned it because of that.
- Stupid alarm! I couldn´t kiss my prince because of you - she says annoyed, turning it off immediatly - I would like to know why I´ve been dreaming with me dressed like a princess, lately - she says, getting out off her bed.
She dresses her school uniform and follows the stairs until the kitchen where were her parents and her brother taking their breakfast. She joins them.
- Don´t you know walking without all that euphoria? - asks her brother Shingo, after hearing her go down by stairs with all her energy.
- Is signal that I´m with good mood. Is a pitty that I can´t say the same thing about you - she replys to him, showing her tongue.
- You could be more normal, you know? Or you are completely happy, or completely tearful...
- I don´t mind showing all my emotions. If I want to laught, I laught. If I want to cry, I cry. I prefer that than keep things that hurt me inside.
- Come on, children. Don´t start fighting, ok? We would like to take our breakfast peacefully. Is that possible? - asks their mother, annoyed with them.
- Yes, mom - both consented.
- And later, Usagi. We need to talk about your school grades.
- Why?
- You know why. But we will talk about it later... And do not insiste - she says seeing that her daughter was about to reply - We need to talk about this with calm.
They finish their breakfast and Usagi follows to school.
She immediatly forgot her conversation with her mother. Why would she worry about that? Her grades were normal, altough weren´t high. Around seventy percent. And she never arrives late to her classes. But of course she takes advantage of those days when she can be in bed all day. Her biggest defects are her clumsiness and her crybaby side. She falls a lot and goes against many thinks when she runs. She could say that she needed to improve her crybaby side too, but she refuses to stop with that. She feels so much better after her cry moments, so, she refuses to let that go.
Before she arrives to school, she sees three kids surrounding a cat and beating her.
- Hey! Stop with that! - she demanded, making them run from there - You should be ashame of yourselfs! Poor, kitty. How could they do this to you - she says, holding her gently - It seems you aren´t to much hurt.
Immediately, the cat points desperately to the bandage in her forehead.
- Don´t worry. I take that from you.
She does it and then she sees the uncommon mark of the crescent moon in herforehead.
- But... What is this? A crescent moon? - she asks surprised with what she saw - What do this means?
The cat jumps from her lap, and then over her head, and lands over a car. She stood in there, looking firmly to her.
- Look. I need to go, ok? - she says, feeling unconfortable with her look - Just be sure that you´ll not be caught again.
She leaves and soon arrives to school. Later her teacher appears in class.
- Good morning, class. I´m going to give back your exams from last week.
All class stood quiet with her decision. That was a surprise exam that their teacher put in their front in last week and Usagi stood with the feeling that her effort wasn´t the best. When was her turn to receive the exam, she saw the red pen marking the 52%. It was a relief, but at the same time it was disappointing. That was so much less compared with her usual grades.
- What happened to you, Ms Tsukino? This doesn´t seems like yours - says her teacher, clearly disappointed with her grade.
- Well. I still passed in my exam, right? Isn´t this better than failing? - she replied.
- No! This means that you are not studying enough. This it happened because you are to much resigned with your average.
- Thank you for your worry, teacher. I´ll do my best to not pass to a negative average - she replies with some sarcasm.
- Don´t be insolent with me, young lady! Go to the corridor! - demands Miss Haruna.
Usagi grabs her notebook and do what her teacher demanded. She wasn´t so that bothered because it was what sometimes happens when she is to much daring to her teacher. And when that happens she takes her notebook with her and listen her class from the outside.
After the first class, Usagi stays in her desk with her head over it, next to her best friend Naru who was looking to her.
- I know you had some right, but you didn´t needed to talk with Miss Haruna like that - says softly her friend Naru - It would be better if you ignore her.
- Sorry, but this time, I couldn´t hide what I was thinking. I don´t have always the patience to do that, specially in this moment that I received this grade - she says, starting to cry, with her head covered by her arms - My mother will kill me.
- Hey, Usagi-chan! How much do you had in your exam? - asks happily Umino, appearing suddently in their front.
- Really, Umino. It isn´t so that difficult to see by her face that her grade wasn´t good.
- Oh! I understand what she is feeling. This time I didn´t had 100%. I didn´t studied enough - says Umino, displaying his test with a 95% mark - The exams are like games to me. I can pass them easily.
- I think you are not cheering her up, Umino - says Naru.
- Thats ok, Naru. I can´t do nothing now. This is the grade I had and thats it. I try to do better next time - resignes Usagi, cleaning her tears.
In that moment, they see some girls appear in the classroom sharing happy comments while they were reading a magazine.
- What is happening? - asks Usagi.
- Is about the news from today. Sailor V appeared again. This time to stop the thieves from a jewelery store.
- Sailor V? Who is she?
- Sailor V is a heroine dressed with a sailor suit. She is around there catching criminals - informs her Umino, showing his tablet - This is a photo that was took of her.
Usagi grabs the tablet and sees the photo of a gold blond girl with long hair, using a red mask and a red bow. She was over a roof.
- She seems very interesting. And I think that I already saw a poster of her in the Game Center.
- Thats because there is a game of her in there - says Naru.
- But I think I can understand the obsession of thieves for jewels. They are so beautiful - says one of the girls with her eyes shining.
- You´ve right. How much I wanted to have a diamont ring in by hand - continues Usagi.
- Well. You could come with me to my mother´s jewelry store. She is making good prices today - informs them Naru.
- Really?! - asks Usagi and the other girls.
- Yes. We could go there after classes.
- Thank you, Naru - says Usagi, hugging her.
In another place, completely obscure and sinister, a queen with long red hair was seated in her throne, looking to her crystal ball.
- Jadeite! Did you already found the silver crystal?
A blond man appears in her front, giving vassalage to her.
- Not yet, your magesty. But I found a place where it can be. And is a good place to collect energy from humans too.
- Good! Don´t loose that place of view. I want that you inform me sooner about your investigation.
- I already have my "agent" in there, your majesty. Soon she will bring me news.
After classes, Usagi follows Naru to her mother´s jewelery. They see the store full of women and Naru´s mother in the middle of them with a megaphone, encouraging them to buy the jewels.
- I never saw your mother with all that energy - says Usagi.
- Hello, mom - says Naru - Today I brought my best friend Usagi.
- Hello, madam. Nice to see you again.
- Oh!... Hi! Nice to meet you, Usagi. I´m glad to see you here.
Usagi odds her words.
- Sorry, madam... But... don´t you remember me?
- Mom, what are you saying? Usagi comes lots of times to our house - corrects her Naru.
- Oh! Sorry girls. You know, I´ve been so tired that I´m forgetting things. Come here! I´ll make a special discount for you, Usagi. Forgive me for my mistake, please.
- Thats ok, madam. I´m not mad.
The woman takes a ring from the showcase and show it to her.
- Look! This ring has an original cost of 500000 dollars.
- Wow. It is so beautiful! - she says, completely amazed.
- I can pass this cost to 30000 dollars.
- REALLY?
But before she could say anything else, the others clients push her and stay in front of the counter, complaining to Naru´s mother. Usagi and Naru had to leave that place and they get up when they approach of the door.
- Even if the cost changes to 30000 dollars is still to much expensive for me - says a depressive Usagi.
- Why don´t you ask to your father?
- I can´t ask him anything with this grade. And I already spent my entire allowance - she says even more depressed.
- Come on, Usagi. Be strong!
- I know I´ve to be - she resignes, leaving the store.
At the outside, she takes her exam from her schoolbag and stays a while looking to it.
- I don´t wanna take this exam to home - she protest, smashing the exam an throwing it over her shoulder.
- Hey! Watch out, Odango Atama! See to where you throw your things - complains a male voice behind of her - What is this? 52%? - he says with surprise - You need to study harder, Odango Atama.
- That is not of your business - she protests, reclaiming the test - And this is still a passing grade, what it was a very good grade for a surprising exam. Why is everyone complaining?
- Maybe because they believe you can do better than this - he says.
- Maybe, but they could recognize my effort too, don´t you think? I always have passing grades, even if they aren´t high. They are the results of my efforts - she complaines - But why I´m I tellling you this? Is not worthy. I need to go.
- Wait a minute - he says, putting himself in front of her.
Both stood sharing confused looks, appreciating both beauty. Usagi could see he was tall, with a handsome jawline, black hair, and was using sunglasses. Somehow, he looked familiar to her, even if she didn´t know from where.
- Look! - he starts, stopping that moment of transe - Is true that this is grade of hardworking students. But when you have a grade like this, is always better if you try to find out what you did wrong.
- I know. I wanna do it. But is difficult when you study and you can´t figure out many things - she confesses.
- This is my number. If you need a tutor, I can help you.
She grabs the piece of paper that he gives to her and she sees there a number and the name " Chiba Mamoru".
- Is this your name?
- Yes.
- My name is Usagi Tsukino! - she presents herself - With all the respect, I don´t know you. I can´t acept it.
- Well, the major of students don´t know their tutors when they start with them - evidences him.
- Alright. I´m gonna think about this, ok?
- Good. I´ll be waiting for an answer.
She continues her way until she arrives to the game center. In there she sees a poster of a gold blond girl with long hair, using a red bow, and showing her clear blue/violet eyes behind of the red mask. She was dressed with a sailor suit and doing a heroin pose.
- So, this is Sailor V game - she says - How much I wanted be like Sailor V. I wouldn´t need to go to school, and catch criminals seems fun - she says.
She looks again to her test paper, still discouraged.
- Well! I can´t run much longer. Is better If I go home and faces my mother once for all.
She continues her path, without knowing that she was being followed by the cat that she saved in that morning.
- I´m home - she says, closing the door of her house.
- Finally you arrived. I´ve be waiting for you, young lady. I know you already received your test results, since your collegue Umino informed me. Show it to me! - demands her mother.
- Like if I ever had hidden exams from you - complains Usagi, showing her the test paper.
- 52%? I knew you were not studying enough lately.
- Thats not true, mom. This was a surprise test. Is normal that I wasn´t completelly prepared for it.
- No, is not normal. This just proves that if it appears a surprise test in your front, you can´t handle it. We need to find a tutor for you - she sentenced.
- WHAT? WHY? Do you forgot that I always have passing grades? This is still a passing grade.
- No, I didn´t, dear. But your grades are to much fragile. You still have many difficults. It´s decided! You´ll have a tutor!
Usagi breathes deeply.
- Ok, mom. I understood - she resignes - But let me choose my tutor, please.
- Alright! You have one week to do it. After that we´ll choose it for you - decides her mother - Now, come in. Dinner will be ready soon.
In the jewelery, Naru was helping her mother when she sees all the ladies losing their strength and passing out.
- Mom, what is happening? What is happening with all these ladies? - asks Naru, feeling scaried.
She turns to her mother and feels even more scaried when she sees her mother looking to her with an evil look and laughing devilishly.
Usagi takes dinner with her family and then she goes to her bedroom. She breathes deeply when she sits in her bed and then she takes a notebook from her briefcase. She decided to start with her homework. She didn´t wanted to continue listening that she isn´t studying enough. However, while she was advancing with her homework, she saw that she had difficults that she wasn´t able to surpass. She really needed a tutor.
In that moment she hears her window being opened and she turns to behind to see what was happening. She sees the black cat from that morning behind of her, with her look fixed in her.
- But... what are you doing here? Are you following me?
- You don´t need to be rude. I´ve an explanation.
Usagi opens completely her eyes when she hears the cat speaking.
- WHAT THE HELL? HOW... HOW CAN YOU TALK? - she says, completely shocked.
- First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Luna and I wanna thank you for saving me from those boys - starts the cat - With the bandage that they put on me I couldn´t speak or use my powers. When you took that off me, I immediatly felt your energy and I knew you are the person that I´m looking for. So, thats why I´m here - she explained with all her naturalness - Usagi, you were born to be a warrior.
- But.. but... the cat is still talking? I must be dreaming! Goodbye! - said Usagi, lying down in her bed, with her back turned to the cat.
- Usagi, you are not dreaming! Come on, Usagi! Wake up - insists Luna, pressing her head - Well! It seems I need to show you a proof.
Luna jumps, and spinning in the air, she makes a broach appear.
- Usagi, this is a present for you.
Usagi turns to her and sees the broach over her bed.
- Really? Is so beautiful! - she says, putting it in the middle of her bow.
- Now, listen to me. There are weird things happening in Tokyo, an enemy that noone can defeat, except you. Are you listening me? - she asks, seeing that Usagi was paying more attention to her figure in the mirror than to her.
Luna goes to her side.
- Usagi, listen me once for all - she imposes, making her stop of admiring herself - The enemy is acting now and you need to defead it.
- What? I´m not understanding. What enemy? - asks a confused Usagi.
- The malicious force that is threatening the city. It is attacking in this precisely moment.
- Alright! For what I understood, there is a terrible enemy threatening Tokyo that only I can defeat. And how I am gonna do that?
- Just say this. " Moon Prism Power! Make Up!"
- Alright! "MOON PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!"
After the light that covered her body disappears, Usagi sees herself dressed with another clothes.
- What is this? What happened? I look like Sailor V - exclaims Usagi, confused.
- Now you are Sailor Moon and you are a warrior with the powers that you need to defeat the enemies.
- But...
Before Usagi could say anything else, she ears from her red disks that were covering her odangos, a familiar voice calling for help.
- It seems I´m hearing Naru´s voice. It seems she is in danger.
- The enemy is in your friend jewelery store. You need to save her.
- But how can that be possible? - she asks, remembering immediatly what happened in the moment that she went to the jewelery - So thats why her mother didn´t recognized me. It wasn´t her - Oh no! NARU! - she screams, getting out immediatly from her window.
- Usagi, wait for me! - asks Luna, following her.
In the jewelery store, Naru was being grabbed by the neck, by her supposed mother.
- Mom, please... stop! - begs a terrified Naru.
- I´m not your mother! Your mother is closed in the basement - says her mother, changing her figure to an horrendous monster, scaring Naru even more.
- STOP! - demands a feminine voice from the entrance.
The monster turns her head to behind and sees a girl with two odangos, dressed with a particular blue and white suite, and using a gold tiara in her forehead.
- Who are you? - asks the monster
Usagi presents herself as Sailor Moon, the beautiful warrior of love and justice that will punish her in the name of the moon.
After her speach, all the fainted people stand up like zombies by the monsteir´s command and start to chaise her by the store.
- OH NO! I DON´T WANNA DIE! - she cries, stopping in front of a wall, surrounded by the zombies - NO, THIS IS NOT REAL! HOW IS THIS STORE FULL OF MONSTERS?
- Usagi, what are you doing? You need to fight them! - says Luna, next to her.
- But... but... How am I gonna do that? I don´t know how to fight.
Before Luna could say anything else, the monster appears in the air, grabbing a weakened Naru.
- Grab her and, before you finish with her, let her see how I´ll kill this girl - orders the monster.
- NOOOO! - screams an angry Usagi. That scream was amplified by her red disks that made a supersonic wave that weakened the monster and made the zombies faint.
She raises immediatly and runs to the monster. When she reaches him, she jumps and kicks him, making him release Naru.
- GOOD, USAGI. THAT WAS AMAZING! - exclaims Luna, after seeing her action.
Surprisingly, Usagi sees the monsteir running to her again, and now with more anger than before.
- OH NO! HE DIDN´T STOPPED! WHAT AM I GONNA DO NOW? - she cries, fearing for her friend´s life too who was unconscious next to her.
Suddently, she sees a red flash crossing the room and stopping in front of her and the monsteir. It was a red rose. It was the enough to make him stop for a while. She looks to the highest windows and sees a man using a a black tuxedo, a black hat and a white mask.
- I´m Tuxedo Mask! - he says, imposingly - Crying isn´t going to solve anything, Sailor Moon! - he added.
- I know... but I never fought before. I don´t know what to do - she complains.
- Sailor Moon! - says Luna - Grabs your tiara and say this " Moon Tiara Action ".
- Al... Alright! - she acepts. She takes the tiara from her forehead, which changes of form - " MOON TIARA ACTION" - she throws the tiara to the monster and he turns into dust - Wow! I really did this? - she says, surprised with her last performance, seeing the monster´s dust falls in the ground.
- Good job, Sailor Moon! - says Tuxedo Mask - I went here to find something, but I ended seeing a much more interesting thing. I will never forget this night! - he promised. Then he swept with his cape around and jumps out of the window.
- You did well, Sailor Moon - says Luna, showing her pride for her.
- You know what, Luna? I´ve to admit that this situation was somekind of interesting.
Says Usagi, still looking to the place from where that handsome man left, with her heart beating and blushing.
The next day, Usagi was in her class and decides to take a nap before her teacher arrival. While that, Naru and other girls were telling to all class about a dream that they had about a warrior called Sailor Moon that appeared to save them from a monster.
- But how do we had the same dream? - asks one of the girls.
- Is really strange.
- What do you think Usagi? - asks Naru.
Usagi gapes and answer:
- If both of you had the exact same dream on the exact same night, maybe it wasn´t a dream at all! - she says in a sleepy way, burying her head in her arms again, and leaving her friends thoughtful.
