Discaimer: Yah.. I own nothing other than myself and the daughter I pushed out of my own body. That's about it. Actually, I think I have some pennies laying around somewhere. ::Glances around.:: Hmm well. Then point is to NOT sue me, as I have nothing to give. Sound good? Great!

Author's Note: Okay. I never really like that the Scouts were on 14, and that Usagi and Darien were supposed to have a romantic relationship with her being 14, and him being in COLLEGE. Too weird for me. SO. She's 15. This is before she is discovered to be Princess. Basically it's season 1. Alright well, that's it. Not a big change, I don't suppose. Oh, and I just picked the year I was born for her birth year, and went from there. Also, I hoped I got all the names right, such as her mom.. and the Odango Atama. I'm used to Meatball Head.. anyways. That's all. Okay? Good! Go read now!

Summary: Just as quickly as he said it, he nearly wished he hadn't as he and Motoki heard an earth shattering scream. Mamoru jolted out of his seat and ran outside, suddenly thinking his lunch was going to come back up at the scene before him.

Forseen

"Life is a road full of many paths and dead ends, my child. There are an endless number of paths to be taken. But be warned: In a moment, one decision can change everything. You must be ready. It is your duty, Sailor Moon, to protect the Earth. You must honor that duty at all costs, or it could mean your life."

The blackness disappeared to reveal something that instilled fear in Usagi's heart. She slowly walked towards her omen, and carefully read the words:

Usagi Tsukino
June 30, 1989 – March 3, 2005
Sailor Moon
Champion of Love and Justice
Daughter
Friend
"Usako"
RIP

Usagi gasped and stumbled backwards. She fell to the ground and landed on her butt with a small 'thud!' leaning back on her hands. She scrambled away as fast as she could, her heart beating so fast she thought it would beat out of her chest. 'A-a tombstone?!With my name on it?' She thought. 'This can't be! I-I can't . I'm Sailor Moon.. I..' Her eyes were wide and her face was pale. She let out an anguished scream.

Ikuko rushed into her daughter's room when she heard the scream. "Usagi!" She shook her daughter's shoulders. "Usagi! Wake up!"

Usagi jolted awake and stared up at her mother. Ikuko was frightened at the look in Usagi's eyes. It was a mixture of fear, sorrow, pain, and.. death.

"Mom?" Ikuko nodded. "What's wrong, honey? What happened?" Usagi shook her head and sat up. "I-it's nothing. I um.. it was a bad dream. Mom, I need to change clothes. I don't really wanna talk about it."

Ikuko was slightly hurt by her daughter's actions, but stood up from her kneeled position by the bed. "Okay, honey. I'm here if you need me." Usagi nodded and got out of bed, digging her not-so-organized drawers for some clean pajamas. Ikuko watched her daughter for a moment before turning and leaving the room. Usagi stiffened as she heard her mother shutting the door, and at the sound of the click, let out a muffled sob. She stood in her position, her face buried in the clothes she held in her hands. After a moment, she stopped crying and began to change clothes. "Get a grip, Usagi. It's just a dream." Her hands were shaky and she found herself unable to button her shirt. She grumbled and took it off before grabbing a simple t-shirt and tossed it on over her head. "There.." She sighed as she crawled back in bed. The image of her tombstone haunted her. The date flashed in her mind over and over. "March 3, 2005.." She mumbled softly. "That's in a month.." She began to think about how people would remember her. What would they remember her for? Her odangos? Her bad grades? How clumsy she was? How much of a crybaby she was? NO! "Usagi, stop it! You are NOT going to die. So just stop." The thought of death scared her, but what scared her the most was how people were going to remember her. She didn't want to be known as Odango Atama: The clutzy crybaby who failed in school. Usagi shook her head quickly and rolled over. Within a few minutes, she was fast asleep.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Usagi groaned as the stupid beeping noise got louder and louder. Her hand shot out from underneath the blankets and slammed down on the alarm clock. She groaned and slowly pushed herself up. She looked over at the alarm clock which blared "7:15" in bright red numbers. She grunted and fell back to the bed. "I can't get up this early. This is insane." Her muffled voice spoke from the pillow her face was buried in.

What seemed like seconds later, Ikuko was in Usagi's room yanking the blankets off her daughter's bed. "USAGI TSUKINO. GET UP NOW! YOU'RE LATE!" Usagi shot straight up with a yelp. "IT'S COLD! IT'S COLD!" She curled up in the fetus position. Ikuko rolled her eyes. "Usagi. It's 8:00. You have 15 to gets ready and get your butt to school or else you get ANOTHER detention. NOW LET'S GO."

"8:00!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Usagi bolted from her bed to the bathroom, trying to brush her hair and her teeth simultaneously. She'd actually become quite skilled at this task, as she did it nearly 6 days a week. She washed her mouth out of the left over toothpaste and quickly styled her hair to it's usual odangos. She rushed back into her bedroom, glancing at the clock. "Oh no.. 8:05.. I'm never gonna make it!" She grabbed her uniform and put it on quickly, followed by socks and shoes. She was about to run out the door when her mother stopped her. "I expect your test back today, Usagi. All I have to say right now is if it's anything lower than a B, don't come home anytime soon." Usagi's jaw dropped at her mother's words. "Mom! Are you serious? That's ridiculous. I'm not smart, Mom. Why can't you just accept me for me?!" Tears welled in her eyes as she ran down the stairs and out the door. She didn't even bother sprinting towards her school. She knew she failed her last test; getting detention just wasted time til she went home since she couldn't go home right away anyways. She sniffed, using the hand not holding her bookbag to wipe the tears from her eyes. She didn't WANT to cry, but sometimes she just couldn't help it. It hurt her that her own mother didn't accept her for who she really was. "I'm not smart. I'm not like the other girls. Ami is so smart. Rei is so strong and brave.. Mina is a gorgeous.. Makota is such a good cook.." Usagi's stomach growled at this. "I didn't even eat breakfast. How stupid can I get? Sometimes I just want to run a- OOF!"

Usagi had run straight into Mamoru Chiba's chest, which actually hurt her nose due to his nicely sculpted body. "Geeze, Odango Atama. Do you EVER watch where you're going?" Usagi just shrugged and stared at the ground. "Sorry Mamoru.." She mumbled and continue to walk towards school, trudging her feet. Mamoru watched the bunny walk away, concern evident in his face. "What's wrong with her..?" He wasn't sure why, but he had a really bad feeling about her.

Usagi walked through the classroom door. She heard several classmates groan and begin to whisper as she walked past. She heard Mrs. Haruna begin to tell her she had detention, but Usagi nodded and said, "I know, Mrs. Haruna. Detention this afternoon." Her voice was barely audible. She slid into her seat and stared at the board Mrs. Haruna was writing on. The classroom seemed to sit at a silence due to Usagi's actions, but within a moment's time, everything was back on track. Usagi found herself dozing off and did everything she could to stay awake, but to no avail.

She was back at the graveyard. She wrapped her arms around herself and walked slowly to the spot where she knew her tombstone was. It saddened her that there were no flowers on her tombstone. Did no one care? Tears stung the corners of her eyes, but she blinked them away. "No. I won't cry. If that's how everyone feels, then fine." She turned and walked away. "FINE!"

"FINE!" Usagi yelled in her sleep, disrupting class.

"MISS USAGI!" Mrs. Haruna shouted. Usagi's eyes snapped open. "W-wha?"

Mrs. Haruna looked quite irritated. Usagi looked around and saw her classmates all scowling at her. "I.. um." She looked down sheepishly. "That's detention today AND tomorrow, Usagi." Mrs. Haruna said with an edge in her voice as she handed over Usagi's test which had red marker all over it. Usagi only nodded and looked at the paper. 'A 40.. go figure.'

The school day was finally over. Usagi stayed for her hour detention, doing everything in her power to stay awake and stop the growls erupting from her stomach. Once over, she left the school quickly, grumbling to herself about needing food from the arcade.

Usagi couldn't shake off the dreams she had. She couldn't really be facing death.. could she? Luna said she had a destiny ahead of her of being Sailor Moon, the Champion of Love and Justice. So why was she having these dreams?

Lost in thought, she found her way to the arcade, but not without running into her favorite baka for the second time that day. She fell to the ground and groaned in pain as her bottom hit the concrete. "I'm sorry.." She mumbled.

"You just can't stay away from me, can you?" Mamoru Chiba grinned his pearly whites at the ball of blonde hair and ivory skin on the ground in front of him. Usagi said nothing; everything hurt and she just wanted to cry. She slowly stood up and dusted her skirt off. "Yeah, Mamoru.. I guess I can't.." She walked past him and through the arcade doors. She saw her fellow scouts in the corner booth, all of them looking up with a scowl at her. She sighed and walked over to the booth, not bothering to sit down. "Sorry guys, I was late and got-"

"Detention, we know." Rei said sharply. "It's a bit pathetic, ya know. I don't think you've ever been on time for school. Seriously, Usagi, get a grip! You stumble all the time, you're failing in school, and you can't even protect yourself in battle. What kind of leader are you?"

Usagi's eyes widened. She felt tears welling up, and did nothing to stop them from falling. "Do.. do you all feel this way?" Usagi watched in near horror as the girls all nodded their heads in agreement. She choked back a sob. "So.. so then.." She struggled to talk as her voice cracked. "Fine then. I understand. I'm sorry I ever troubled you.." Usagi turned and ran out of the arcade, her hunger and exhaustion no longer seeming to be a problem.

Mamoru felt troubled as he watched Usagi and her friends argue. He couldn't hear what was said. All he saw was Rei getting angry and the other girls agreeing, then Usagi ran away crying.

"Hey Motoki?" Motoki looked up from his spot behind the bar. "Hmm?"

Mamoru watched as the other girls left, giggling at each other as if nothing happened. "Have you noticed something wrong with Odango Atama?" Motoki shrugged. "Not really. I haven't seen her today though.. why?"

"She was just here. But she left crying.."

Motoki perked up. "I guess I was busy cleaning and didn't see her come in.. I'm used to her chipper voice letting me know she's here. Why was she crying?"

Mamoru shrugged. "No idea.. and I hate to admit it, but I'm a bit worried. She was really out of this morning, and then now.." He shook his head. "I just have a bad feeling."

Just as quickly as he said it, he nearly wished he hadn't as he and Motoki heard an earth shattering scream. Mamoru jolted out of his seat and ran outside, suddenly thinking his lunch was going to come back up at the scene before him.

- You want more chapters? I want more reviews. Simple trade, really.
