Prologue

A single sliver of light made it's way past the pink silk curtains of the bedroom of Usagi Tsukino. It seemed to almost be sentient as it slithered across the carpet towards it's targets. The well known lazy head bunny and her feline advisor Luna. The form beneath the covers seemed to sense it's approach and snuggled even deeper in the thick folds of the bunny spotted blanket. The sunlight inched it's way up the edge of the bed and peaked the top of the covers to alight on the furry face of the cat.
Luna blinked her red eyes and slowly rose to her feet with an exaggerated yawn. *What a morning. And especially after that battle last night. Ugh! If this enemy keeps hitting us that hard we'll never last out this next week!* Luna shook her head, saddened by their chances.
Even after weeks of research she and Artemis hadn't found out much about them. All they knew for certain was that they were searching for something, or someone. The someone' was Luna's idea but Artemis just said she was being paranoid. Luna frowned in disgust at the attitude of her partner. *I have every reason to be paranoid! I have a princess to protect and you can never be too careful. He's just being a lazy old ball of fur!*
Luna glanced down at the rumpled covers where she could barely glimpse her charge's face hidden among the folds. She smiled as brightly as her feline form allowed and nudged the blankets away with her paw, allowing the sunlight to hit the face directly. She was rewarded by Usagi's now squinting eyes and a slight whimper from the girl. Luna smiled again but it faded away as she thought of what she would do if the princess were ever taken from her care.This girl was the dearest thing to her heart and she wasn't going to let anything happen to her.
She jumped to the ground with a determined look on her face. *I don't care if I have to go up against those space freaks all by myself! I won't let them hurt Usagi or any of the girls anymore.* She padded towards the cracked open window and jumped onto the ledge. With a final glance behind her she jumped to an overhanging branch of a tree and climbed swiftly to the ground. She was off to do more research.
--------
Back in the sun warmed room Usagi's eyelids are twitching. Perhaps it is because of the sunlight striking her face. Or, perhaps, it is because of the dreams about her recent battles. Or, maybe it was because her little brother, Shingo, was currently tickling her nose with a feather.
The brown haired imp tried to smother his giggles with his free hand and managed to only produce small snorting noises instead. His eyes began to tear from the effort of holding his mirth in when Usagi suddenly started drawing in air for a sneeze. He froze and with a tense heart waited to see what would happen. Seconds latter, he was covered with snot.
Usagi slowly rose to a sitting position with a yawn as she stretched her arms. *Ahhh! I think that's the first time I've actually been able to wake up this early. Without an alarm or Luna that is.* She was totally oblivious to the dripping brother by her bedside but when she finally noticed him all she could do was blink at the sight. Shingo stared straight back at her icily. Usagi's mouth twitched slightly and she quickly covered it as a giggled escaped her lips.
Shingo! What- what happened to- HA HA HA! She collapsed in a pile on the floor beside her brother but didn't even notice she had fallen from her bed. Shingo just crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air. The effect was ruined however by the fact that he was still covered by sneeze'.
Oh shut up you baka! This is all your fault you know! You just had to sneeze. He stalked from the room with as much of his dignity as he could muster as Usagi rose to her feet trying to catch her breath.
That has got to be the grossest yet funniest thing I've seen in a long while. Well, I guess it would probably tie with that time Rei was covered in youma slime. Now that was priceless! She wiped her eyes slightly and made her way to her closet to choose her clothes for the day.
---------
Shingo finished wiping the slime from his face with a grimace. *Why does that baka have to be so disgusting?* He sighed as he ran his hands through his now damp hair and made his was out of the small room and down the stairs. He slipped into the kitchen and swiped a piece of toast and was preparing to fill a glass with orange juice when something caught his ear. It was coming from the family room, where the T.V. was. We have some interesting information for all you Sailor Scout fans out there. Later this week we will be having the- *Is that-*
He stuffed the toast in his mouth and ran into the room to try and catch the rest of the announcement. -contest to see if your a true fan. The winner of the contest gets to spend a day with a scout of their choice. It has all been arranged with these brave warriors and next week Monday one of you lucky fans will get the chance to meet your hero! The preliminaries for the contest will be held at the Juban mall at 3:30 this afternoon. Make sure to be on time fans!
Shingo's eyes sparkled as he stared at the now fading announcer. *Finally!* Finally I'll be able to meet her! I'm her biggest fan so I'm sure to win! Usagi walked in at the end of his declaration and blinked.
What are you talking about? What are you going to win? She leaned against the couch and straightened her broach as she waited for a response.
Shingo looked her way disdainfully. You wouldn't be interested. You don't like the Sailor Scouts. Usagi just stared and let her hands fall from the still crooked centerpiece on her bow.
What are you talking about? Shingo grinned at her and crossed his arms over his chest.
The city is hosting a contest for the truest senshi fan and the winner gets to spend the day with his, or her, senshi of choice. It's been on the news for weeks Usagi. I can't believe you haven't heard anything about it.
Usagi couldn't help the mischievous twinkle that came to her eyes. Of course she knew about it! It had been her idea after all. The senshi had all been stressed as of late and Usagi came up with the idea so that at least one of them could have the day off. She was hoping she would be the one picked but she wouldn't mind if one of the others were picked either. What mattered to her now was the fact that her little twit of a brother didn't know that she knew far more than he did.
Of course I've heard about it Shingo. In fact, I have first hand information from the sailor senshi themselves that- She was cut off as Shingo snorted at her.
Yeah right meatball head. Like I would believe you know any of the senshi. I'd be surprised if you've ever even seen them in person! I've actually been saved by Sailor Moon before ya know!
He smirked at his sister haughtily and Usagi tried her best not to giggle as she finished getting ready for school. After all, she remembered quite well the time she had had to save her little brother. If he ever found out that his older sister was actually the senshi he so idolized. . . Usagi just laughed internally and grabbed her bag and rushed out the door.
