Here's the deal people, I wrote this, yet, sadly I own none of the characters, but
the plot is mine, and I LIKE IT A LOT! If you don't then...then...I'll be sad. E-mail me, or review me,
just give me feedback, please? This takes place, at, uh, I don't know when. lets say at the beginning of my story it's at a time never shown in the show. If you really want a time reference I'll give you... right before the show where Rini enters, okay? SM belongs to many people and companies, but I'm not one of them, as we've already determined. Okay, that's about it. I have this little thing for time travel I've noticed...
P.S. some notes;
I've used the names from the Japanese version, and I'm sure most of you know what they are, but just in case here;
Usagi is Serena, but Usagi also means bunny (you ever notice all her stuff has bunnies and moons?) her Her family name is Tsukino, which means 'of the moon' hence, bunny of the moon (in Japan family name is first). She calls Mamoru Mamo-chan, which is basically an endearment).
Mamoru is Darien but the name means protector. His family name is Chiba, which means earth, hence, earth protector. Mamoru calles her usa, an endearment, but usually he calls her Usa-ko, whick means 'my little rabbit' (cute, ne?).
Senshi = soldiers (in Japanese it's bisoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, which means pretty soldier sailor moon)

Sailor Moon walked away from a battle that she had just won. The evidence of it was left behind in the alley that she had just exited, and she was feeling immensely pleased with herself. The senshi, Tuxedo Mask, and she had dusted that nega-crud in a short time
for such a harsh creature. It had left 'time traps' all over the place, and if she could help it she didn't want to fall into one. Even Mercury couldn't say exactly what they were, but even (or especially) Sailor Moon knew that you don't want to get caught in any nega trap.
Behind her Sailor Moon heard a familiar voice. "Hey, Wait up!"
"Hi Mamo-chan!" Sailor Moon said, smiling brightly. She then tapped her broach, becoming Usagi.
"It's still early, Usa." Mamoru said. "Only eight, do you want to do something?"
Usagi turned around and threw her arms around his neck, and cried ecstatically, "What do you think?"
Mamoru chuckled at his cheery girlfriend, thanking the gods above that she was his.
What would he do if she hadn't shone her light into his life?
Suddenly Usagi darted ahead, and danced laughingly around a lamppost. Mamoru laughed and followed her towards the park, but before they were far from the alley Usagi felt something cool and watery grasp her ankle like cold fingers encircling it. She cried out and Mamoru came running.
"Mamo-chan!" she cried. "Help, it won't let go, it won't let go!" She yelled hysterically. "What is it?"
Mamoru grabbed her leg, which was getting quickly pulled into a black puddle-thing. "I don't know Usa-ko!" Mamoru said, beginning to become hysterical himself.
"I can't pull your foot out!"
"Where are the senshi?" Usagi cried, tears streaming down her face. "Where's
Mercury? She'll find a way to get me out! Mamo-chan help me!"
"I'm trying, Usagi. Pull as hard as you can!" he ordered frantically.
At the same time they pulled, but to no avail, Usagi was thigh deep in the puddle-thing. Suddenly the scouts were there, trying to help Mamoru pull her out.
The fourteen-year-old girl still sunk deeper and deeper. As she became submerged she heard
Mamoru yelling and Sailor Mercury say; "It was a 'time trap...'"

Usagi woke up with an incredible headache. It beat at both temples, forebidding thought, so she just lay where she was, watching the sun's rays break over the sky, painting incredible streaks of orange and pink, intertwining purple like in an intricate tapestry. The moment was ruined, however, when reality and her memory smacked her upside the head. She had been sucked into a nega-puddle, one of those time thingies. But then why did Tokyo look so regular?
For fear of looking odd Usagi peeled herself off of the side walk, and sat on a nearby bench, gathering her thoughts. That was until a teenage girl walked past (on her way to school?). Usagi stifled a giggle.
'That girl's clothes are so out of style!' she thought. 'I mean, I remember skirts like those were in style when I was eight! That was...' Usagi brought up her hand and counted off fingers. 'six years ago!'
Suddenly understanding hit her, and she jumped up. In her hurry to find out the truth she accosted a man with a newspaper. She grabbed the paper, ignoring an annoyed "hey," and looked at the date. She resisted fainting and handed the paper back to the man who left mumbling about "weird kids." She was six years in the past.
'Well' Usagi thought wryly 'at least I have fashion sense.'
For some reason (probably the stress) Usagi burst out laughing, causing perplexed and worried stares from the people around her, who were beginning to fill the streets.
Finally she stopped laughing...and started crying. She was alone, and scared, and the girls didn't know they were The Sailors, and her mother wouldn't recognize her, because her Usagi was a cute little eight year old, at home in bed. She was so alone...but there was one person she could go to, someone else who was alone.

One hour later Usagi stood in front of a large gray building, and contemplated what she would do. She decided to wait for a less ungodly hour to ask for help. To amuse herself for two hours she looked around her at all the things she didn't normally notice. She took special interest of the sign above the building whose steps she was sitting on. 'West Jyuban Orphanage' it read. She also thought about how cool it was going to be that Mamo-chan was her age.
