Toshio tossed back and forth in his bed as his alarm clock blared.

"My prince," a female's voice giggled, "we can't keep meeting like this." The prince embraced her in his arms. "Our meeting is taboo," she looked up at him, "one that isn't supposed to be broken." She rested her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat.

"Nothing can keep me away from you," the prince replied as he kissed the top of her head. "Even if you travel to a different galaxy I will find you," he whispered to her, "I will always find you."

"Toshio! If you don't get up you're going to be late for school," his mother called from outside his door disrupting his dream.

"Just a few more minutes, please," he mumbled as he pulled the covers over his head. The bright sun beamed down on his covers. "It's just so hot outside," he mumbled, "and so bright."

"Toshio!" His mother yelled. Toshio pushed the covers off of himself and stretched. He rubbed his blue eyes then looked over at his clock and blinked slowly. The alarm clock flashed 8:15.

"Mom! Why didn't you wake me?" He cried out as he fumbled around his room getting dressed.

"I tried, Toshio," his mom sighed, "you told me you needed a few more minutes." Toshio sighed and rushed down the stairs. He ruffled his blonde hair and grabbed his shoes.

"I'm going to be late," he groaned as he grabbed his bag. He rushed to the door.

"Toshio? Are we forgetting something?" His mother held up his lunch bag and laughed. Toshio grumbled and walked into the kitchen.

"Thank you, mom," he grumbled softly.

"What am I going to do with you child?" She chuckled. Toshio dashed out the house and began to head towards his school. He rounded the corner and slammed into a little girl.

"Oh my goodness! Mayu, are you alright?" One of the voices cried out. The little girl nodded as the guy helped her up. "You should really watch where you're going," the guy growled at Toshio.

"I am very sorry," he said. "Are you alright?" Mayu nodded and dusted off her skirt. Mayu blinked slowly and stared at Toshio, her green eyes burned into his. Toshio stared back at Mayu and smiled gently at her. In the distance the school bell chimed. "I'm going to be late," he screamed as he rushed past them.

"Mayu, are you sure you're alright?" The guy asked as he took her hand in his. Mayu smiled up at him. His green eyes danced gently in the sunlight.

"I'm fine, Taka-chan," she giggled as she squeezed his hand gently. Takashi smiled and looked up at the sky. The breeze blew in jet black lightly.

"We need to get going or I'll be late for school," he laughed as he gently tugged her along.

"Mr. Tsukino, you're late! Go stand in the hallway," Ms. Haruna shouted at Toshio. Toshio sighed and leaned up against the wall outside the classroom.

"Ms. Haruna is so mean," he sighed, "just because I'm a few minutes late doesn't mean anything. So what if I like to sleep? School comes too early in the morning anyway. How come it can't come at like noon?" He slid down the wall. Suddenly the classroom door swung open.

"Mr. Tsukino, with grades like this you need every minute of class time you can get," Ms. Haruna shook last week's test at Toshio. Toshio looked up slowly and saw a huge 30 on his test. He sighed and frowned as Haruna handed him the test. Toshio shuffled outside and plopped down on the bench.

"There he is! Toshio," a gentle voice called out to him. Toshio looked up and saw Mei running in his direction. Behind Mei he saw Kouki shaking his head and walking toward him. "Toshio," Mei squealed as she plopped down next to him, "how did you do on your test?" Toshio groaned and looked at his feet.

"Can't you tell he's sulking, Mei?" Kouki sighed, "How do you think he did?" Mei stared at Kouki then stuck her tongue out at him. She flipped her caramel colored hair over her shoulder then looked back at Toshio.

"Toshio, did you get a bad mark on the test?" Toshio groaned again. "That's alright," Mei smiled. "I didn't do too well on my test either," Mei frowned, "I only got a 96." Toshio sighed and flung himself back on the bench.

"Mei, stop being such a showoff," Kouki groaned. He sat down next to Toshio. "It's alright. After school today we can go to the arcade and get your mind off that test."

"That would be great," Toshio smiled feeling his spirits lift a little.

"Should you really be at the arcade," Mei sighed, "I mean you did just fail your test."

"Mei, stop it!" Kouki groaned as Toshio hunched over. "You're going to be a terrible wife, Mei."

"I'm only looking out for him," Mei argued.

"By reminding him that he failed his test," Kouki argued back then looked over at Toshio. "Let's get out of here." Kouki grabbed Toshio's arm and pulled him as he walked away from Mei.

"Where are they going?" Mei pondered out loud. "School is still going on." Kouki and Toshio walked to the arcade and stood outside.

"My mother is having a crazy sale today at the jewelry store," Kouki sighed, "there are going to be tons of crazy ladies in there trying to buy stuff. I won't even be able to study." Toshio covered his mouth and pretended to be sick.

"Don't talk about studying," he laughed, "it makes me sick." Toshio and Kouki laughed loudly.

"You're that guy from earlier," a soft voice spoke from behind the boys. Toshio and Kouki turned around.

"Oh, hey," Toshio smiled recognizing the girl. Mayu smiled up at him and Kouki. "Are you alright? I didn't hurt you, did I?" Mayu shook her head.

"I'm fine," she smiled, "sometimes Taka-chan can be overprotective." Toshio looked around.

"He seems to be a pretty mean guy," Toshio whispered. Mayu giggled,

"Oh no, he's the sweetest. He's just very protective." Mayu's eyes shifted from Toshio to Kouki. "Hi! I'm Mayu."

"I'm Kouki," he smiled, "one of Toshio's friends from school." Mayu nodded.

"I'm looking for a jewelry store. They're having a huge sale," Mayu frowned, "but I sort of got lost. The store belongs to a Mrs. Osaka."

"That's my mom," Kouki smiled, "we can take you there." Toshio looked at the clock outside of the arcade.

"I actually have to get home," he frowned.

"Oh, alright," Mayu frowned a bit then grabbed Kouki's hand. "You be safe now." Toshio nodded and headed home. "He seems really nice," she smiled as she looked up at Kouki.

"He's a great friend," Kouki smiled back. Toshio leaned on the fence outside of his house.

"Man, I'm out of shape," he panted trying to catch his breath. Toshio stood up and stretched then walked into the house.

"Toshio, is that you?" His mom called from the kitchen. Toshio tiptoed toward the stairs. "Toshio," his mom smiled from behind him, "I ran into Mei today and she said she got a 96 on last week's test."

"Oh, she did? That's good," Toshio replied not turning around. Toshio's mom stood there smiling.

"Let me see yours," she continued to smile as she extended her hand.

"Well, you see mom, what had happened was, well," Toshio stammered.

"Toshio," his mom's voice whispered sweetly, "let me see your test." Toshio sighed then turned toward his mom. He dug into his bag and pulled out the test.

"Have I told you how much I love you and how pretty you look today?"

"The test, Toshio," his mom smiled. He shoved the test in her hands then dashed upstairs to his room. "Toshio! A 30! After all that studying you did! You wait until your father gets home, young man!" Toshio listened through the door.

"Dad is going to kill me," he groaned as he slowly opened his bedroom door.

"Where are you going?" Toshio fell back and clutched his chest. In the door his sister stood laughing holding a black cat. Samantha had her brown hair pulled back into a tight ponytail.

"Samantha, you almost gave me a heart attack," he scolded her.

"Well, better I kill you than dad kill you," she mocked as she laughed. The black cat squirmed then jumped out of Samantha's hands and scurried under Toshio's bed. "Blackie," she gasped, "come back here."

"Even cats don't like you," Toshio teased. Samantha glared at him.

"Blackie," Samantha called softly, "please come out. You don't want to be in here with Stinky." Samantha turned to her brother with tears in her eyes. "She won't come out." Toshio sighed and knelt beside the bed.

"Blackie, come on out girl," he called softly. The cat refused to come from under the bed. "I'm sure she'll come out tonight and when she does I'll bring her to you." Samantha smiled and left his room.

"Oh, by the way," she smiled as she peeked her head back in the room, "you still stink." Toshio flung a pillow at the door.

"Little sisters can be so annoying," he chuckled as he laid on his bed. He glanced over at his bag, "I have so much homework to do tonight." He yawned. "I think I'll take a little nap before I get started." He closed his eyes and began to drift off.

"Laziness accomplishes nothing." Toshio opened his eyes and looked around.

"Huh?"

"Laziness accomplishes nothing. If you have homework to do, you should do it." Toshio jumped up and looked around. Blackie sighed and stared at him. "Hello, Toshio," she smiled. Toshio blinked then passed out. "Toshio," she jumped on his chest, "Toshio."

"Huh?" Toshio opened his eyes and stared at Blackie. "I could've sworn I just heard you talk."

"You did," she smiled.

"Cats don't talk," he screamed as he pushed Blackie off his chest.

"Toshio, please calm down," Blackie hissed. Toshio sat in the corner rocking back and forth.

"Blackie is talking to me, I'm losing my mind," Toshio whispered to himself.

"First things first, my name is not Blackie," she shuttered, "it's Luna. Second…"

"You're one of those freak animals from Mei's house aren't you," Toshio laughed. "That's got to be it. You escaped from Mei's because she was crazy or this is a dream. Yes, a dream!"

"Toshio," Luna hissed, "this is a serious matter here. Stop playing around and listen." Toshio peeked around at Luna. "Toshio, my superiors think you may be the one I am looking for. They think you may be Sailor Moon."

"Sailor Moon? Ha! Sounds like a girl name," Toshio fell back laughing.

"You are by far one of the most aggravating people I have ever met," Luna groaned as Toshio rolled around in the floor laughing.

"Sailor Moon," he continued to laugh, "sounds like someone in a tutu dress prancing around. Sailor Moon." Luna glared at him. Toshio looked up at Luna and smiled. "You've got to admit that sounds kind of girly."

"They must have gotten their wires crossed," Luna shook her head, "you couldn't possibly be Sailor Moon." Luna leaped on his bed and walked toward the window.

"See you later, Luna," he laughed as he waved with one hand and wiped the tears from his eyes with the other. He shook his head and walked toward his dresser. "What's this?" He picked up the multicolored watch. Luna turns around and looks at him.

"Put it on and say 'Moon Prism Power, Make-up,'" Luna smiled. Toshio stared at Luna.

"That sounds girly too, but here we go," he laughed as he put the watch on. "Moon Prism Power, Make-up!" Instantly he transformed into Sailor Moon. Luna stared at him then laughed.

"They were actually right," Luna smiled, "you are Sailor Moon." He looked down at his outfit.

"At least it's not something girly," he smiled.

"Sailor Moon, you are the guardian of the moon and you are sworn to protect the Earth from any evil that arises," Luna smiled back at him.

"You know, I kind of like this brooch thing here. It's not too girly," he chuckled. Luna rolled her eyes.

"Sailor Moon, you need to get serious here," Luna sighed.

"I am very serious." He stared out the moon. "The moon looks very full tonight." Toshio stared up at the moon silently. "It's so beautiful." Luna looked over at him then at his brooch.

"Sailor Moon, your brooch is blinking," she gasped. Toshio looked down at his brooch.

"What does that mean?"

"Someone is in danger. Let's go." Sailor Moon and Luna climbed down from the balcony and raced down the street. The brooch blinked brighter and brighter as they approached the jewelry store. Inside the store they heard someone scream.

"Let her go," a voice cried out from inside the building. "Mayu, run," the voice cried out again.

"Mayu's in there!" Sailor Moon dashed into the store. "Mayu! Mayu! Where are you?" In the store Sailor Moon spotted a youma. "You there! Stop!" The youma turned around and stared at Sailor Moon.

"Who are you?"

"I am Sailor Moon, the guardian of love and justice. In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"

"Sailor Moon?" the youma laughed, "that sounds super girly." She continued to laugh. She shook her head and looked at Sailor Moon. "You ever consider a name change," she mocked him. "Rise my minions and get rid of Sailor Moon." Women rose from the ground and began to surround Sailor Moon.

"I can't hit a woman," Sailor Moon cried out as he began to run from the women.

"Sailor Moon, throw your crown at the youma and say 'Moon Boomerang Magic'," Luna called from behind the pillar.

"I can't with all these women chasing me," Sailor Moon called back.

"We'll hold them off," Kouki groaned as he climbed to his feet. Mayu and Kouki formed a two person barrier between the women and Sailor Moon. The women pressed against Mayu and Kouki.

"Some time today would be great Sailor Moon," Mayu cried out as the women began to knock her down. Sailor Moon stopped running and faced the youma. He took off his crown and said with a loud voice,

"Moon Boomerang Magic!" The crown flew into the youma and killed it. "Did you see that? I defeated the youma." The women collapsed onto the ground. Sailor Moon ran over to Mayu and helped her up.

"Are you alright?" He smiled at her. Mayu nodded. Her blonde hair had fallen down around her face and covered her green eyes. Sailor Moon brushed the hair out of her face and smiled.

"Thank you, Sailor Moon," she smiled back at him.

"Sailor Moon, let's go," Luna whispered. Sailor Moon walked over to Luna.

"Did you see that, Luna? Not bad for my first time, huh?"

"Not bad, Sailor Moon. Not bad at all," she smiled as she walked beside him.

In another dimension a dark queen sat on her throne and stared down at one of her servants. Her dark red hair framed her face.

"Jadeite," Queen Beryl hissed staring at him, "your youma failed to collect the energy to awaken Metaria." Jadeite bowed before his queen.

"Please forgive me, my queen," Jadeite apologized, "I was unaware a sailor senshi existed within this era."

"Jadeite, darling," a soft voice spoke, "Queen Beryl doesn't want excuses, she wants results." Jadeite looked up at Eclipse and glared at her. "Isn't that right, my lady?" Queen Beryl nodded and held out her hand toward Eclipse. Eclipse accepted Beryl's hand and kissed it gently. "My lady wants results. No excuses, Jadeite," Eclipse stared up at Beryl. "Do what you must even if you have to kill that senshi."
