Title: Tranquility of Earth Author: me! Little Bit Rating: uh..why do they bother? I guess PG? Summery: Terrain Shields is Sailorearth. She's the younger sister of the Earth Prince and she's fighting against the evil forces of Beryl. In her world, Sailormoon never came around and Usagi was never born. This AU story of Sailormoon will sorta follow what happened in the originally universe, but there will be differences. Maybe one day the two universes will meet. Disclaimer: I don't own Sailormoon, which is such a tragedy! This is the best manga series ever, and before you ask, yes, I go by manga because the American dubbing system is f***ed up.

This is the first Sailormoon fic I have EVER posted! I don't know what rating it will end up and yeah. I hope you like it.

Terra Shields sat in the back of her class at the private school she went to. Her Grandmother had wanted her to go here, it was an all girls academy, one of the best in the nation. The teacher droned on and on about useless information that Terra didn't care about. She was in grade eight, next year she had the choice of attending a public school.

"Psst! Terra! Did you hear about the arcade?" Terra turned her ice blue eyes to another girl.

"Hear what, Kanoko?" Terra asked, her hair was silky bluish black that was pulled into a braid that fell to her lower back. She was a girl who rarely smiled and didn't have many friends. Actually, she didn't have any friends at all here. Terra was extremely smart. Much smarter than any of the girls in her grade.

"Motoki-san is asking for freaks like you to not come to the aracade any more!" Kanoko started laughing at Terra, as did several other girls. Terra looked down and tried to ignore them. It hurt her though. She enjoyed going to Crown Arcade and talking with Motoki-san. He was always very nice to her.

"Shields-san," The teacher said once the bell rang to signal the end of class. "Please stay behind."

"Hai, Sensei." Terra waited until everyone was gone before she closed up her notebook and put it into her bag.

"Shields-san, I've noticed that you do not get along with the other girls. Is there a reason?" Terra stared out the window, this classroom over looked a beautiful park.

"I'm not sure what you mean, Sensei." Terra knew exactly what she ment.

"I believe that you might be better off in a different environment, Shields- san. I'm not someone who usually likes to suggest my honor students go else where, but perhaps a different institution would fit you best?" Terra turned to look at her Sensei. "I have a number of school brochures here with me."

"Thank You, Sensei. I will consider your suggestion." Terra bowed and asked to take her leave. Terra walked out of the room with her head down, she continued out of the school that way.

Half way to the Crown Arcade Center, Terra was stopped by Kanoko and four other girls. "Look it's Miss Riches over there!" Kanoko yelled. The girls circled Terra. "Scared Little Girl?!" Terra was little. At fourteen years old she was 4'6". Very tiny.

"Go away, Kanoko. I haven't done anything to you." Terra tried to stand up for herself. Kanoko grabbed her braid and yanked her head back.

"Haven't done anything to me?! You came to MY school and made all the teachers think your some stupid princess. Not even a slave would want YOU!" Kanoko taunted.

"Leave me alone!" Terra cried out.

"Maybe I won't!" Kanoko said. "I don't like you Terra Shields. In fact, I hate you!" Terra's eyes teared up.

"Let go." Terra whimpered. Her head hurt and she didn't want to be around anyone.

"No. I like it when you hurt." Kanoko sneered. Tears slid down Terra's checks and another girl, named Keiko, punched her in her stomach. Terra grunted, and she was punched again in the jaw. "See, even my friends like to hurt you." She laughed.

"Please! Go away!" Terra cried.

"What's going on?" A guy came up and asked. "Why are you hurting this girl?" The guy continued. Kanoko threw Terra to the ground.

"She's evil. Don't waste your time on her." Kanoko told him laughing at Terra. Then Kanoko called her little group to her and they left. Terra lay crumbled on the ground with her face in her hands, crying.

"Hey, come on, Let's go get you cleaned up." The guy said.

"It's alright, I can take care of myself when I get home." Terra said between sobs.

"Not if you're this upset. Besides, I don't know if those girls would come back and hurt you more." Terra shrugged. "My apartment's around the corner, can you walk?" Terra allowed him to help her to her feet.

"Thank You, sir." She mumbled, taking the handkerchief that her handed her.

"You're welcome, by the way, my name's Chiba Mamoru." Terra finally looked up at him, he was tall, and his hair looked like hers, only in a boy's hair style. He smiled at her through eyes that looked like hers.

"Terrain Shields." She responded. She quickly calculated the names. "Interesting, our names' have nearly the same meaning." She told him. His eyebrows scrunched together in thought.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Well, Terrain means the ground or chikei, Chiba means Earth Place and Shield means mamoru when translated, and mamoru means protect. Our names both roughly mean "Protect Earth"." Terra explained.

"That was quick of you to figure that out." Mamoru told her. They continued to Mamoru's apartment building and up the stairs.

"You're parents won't mind that I'm here, will they?" Terra worried that she'd be intruding.

"No, My parents died a long time ago." Mamoru told her as he unlocked his door. He guided her in and helped her sit on the couch. "I'll be right back with a first aid kit."

Terra glanced around at the very clean living room. It was also quite spacious. There was a few pictures of Mamoru and what Terra guessed where his friends. Above the T.V. was a picture of Mamoru and Motoki, a few years ago.

Mamoru came back in and sat on his coffee table in front of her. "You know Motoki-san?" Terra asked as he brought a damp rag to her split lip.

"Hai. I met him at school a few years ago. He's my best friend." Mamoru told her.

"Awesome." Terra winced as the rag was pressed gently against her lip.

"Sorry." He murmured. "Do you want to go to the Arcade after we get you fixed up?" He asked her.

"Sure." Terra gave him a weak smile. She rarely smiled at anyone, so she figured he was lucky. Terra did like Mamoru though. He was very nice to her, and he'd taken care of her. Terra couldn't remember the last time someone had tried to take care of her. "Thank You, Chiba-san."

"It's no problem and call me Mamoru." He smiled at her. "If you'd like to straighten your braid the bathroom is down the hall on your right." Terra nodded and stood up. She pulled her shoulder bag off and set it beside the couch.

"Thank you again, Mamoru-san." She headed towards the hallway. She turned back when she reached the bathroom doorway. "Call me Terra." Mamoru nodded with a grin.

In the bathroom, Terra pulled her hair tie out and shook her braid out. She ran her fingers through her hair to act like a brush as she looked in the mirror. Looking straight at the mirror with her hands at her sides and her hair completely out of the braid she thought. Terra had worn a braid since her hair was long enough to braid, it was how her mother had always worn her hair. Terra didn't have any friends, except for Motoki-san, she talked to him a lot, but he was several years older than her, so it was hard to be actual friends with him. Mamoru seemed nice, but everyone acted nice at first, she didn't know if this was Mamoru's normal personality. If it was, she liked it. He made her feel safe, in a way she hadn't felt since her parents and brother had died. Terra smiled sadly, sometimes her memories hurt more than anything, even though they were all mostly good memories.

Terra chose to just pull her hair back into a loose pony tail at the nape of her neck. She gave a small smile and turned on the water. She used her hands to softly work away a spot of dirt left by one of the girls that tried to beat her up. Mamoru came by the open door and placed the rag on the sink counter.

"You alright?" Terra nodded, still with a small smile. "Your hair fits you better that way." He suddenly said after just watching her for a moment. Terra turned off the running water and used the dry part of the rag to dry her face.

"Thank you. I've always worn my hair in a braid, but I think I like this better." She put the rag down again. "I'm ready when you are." She told him.

"It's a little cold outside, do you want a sweatshirt?" Mamoru asked as they walked back to the living room to get her book bag.

"No, I like the wind. It makes me feel safe, like I belong here." He nodded, understanding her feelings.

"You feel up to riding on the back of my motorcycle?" Terra nodded happily at Mamoru's question. "Then lets go!" And with that they left the apartment.
