AN: This is what happens when a writer's block occurs, being bored out of your damn skull, and enjoy messing with obvious tropes for fun. I honestly don't know how long it'll be and considering it's the only thing I've managed to put up here that has four chapters done so far, I'll consider more at some point.

So here it is- Cliche/Trope ridden characters/storyline for some fun. As usual, all rights belong where they should and blah blah.

.

You're a Senshi, Cora Lou!

"I'm Laaaaaate!" Usagi screamed running through the house, "Mom, why didn't you wake me?"

"I tried, dear." Ikuko Tsukino said as she finished up packing her eldest child's lunch, "Seven times and each time you told me you were getting up."

"And you believed me?!" Usagi whined as she ran through the kitchen, grabbed some toast and headed to the door, "Oh man, Haruna-Sensei is going to kill me!"

Ikuko sighed, disappointedly, "Then you should've woken up earlier." She held the lunch out, "Don't forget your lunch, Usagi."

Pouting, Usagi grabbed her lunch and headed to the door, but not before she heard her mother call out-

"And be early tonight, your uncle's family is coming over to dinner!"

"Right! Bye Mom!"

"Tsukino-san..." Haruna grumbled in annoyance, "How many detentions will it take until you learn to be on time?"

"I'm sorry sensei..." Usagi mumbled bowing her head, "I just over..er..Slept?"

Haruna shook her head and pointed over to her desk, "Just go sit down."

"Yes, sensei." She sighed and meekly sat down. "I was only five minutes late.." She mumbled.

Naru laughed, "Five minutes earlier and you would've been on time."

"Ha ha." Usagi huffed pulling out her books before she noticed the student near the front and next to the window. "Eh? Who's that?"

Naru chuckled, "If you were early, you would've known. That's Tsukino Cora Lou. She just transferred here from living all over the world!"

"Hmm..wait.." Usagi gaped as the dark blue haired girl with the same hairstyle as her turned around, "CORA LOU? IS THAT YOU?"

Cora Lou's sepia eyes rolled around, "Usagi."

"I didn't know you would be here! Are you staying? " Usagi asked.

Cora sighed, taking out her glasses, "I think it would be obvious seeing as I'm in the class and just enrolled."

"No way! This'll be awesome! I haven't see you since-"

"We were kids,I know. I was there." Cora turned back around. "Gods, you're embarrassing."

Usagi's cheeks pinked, "What was that?"

"Miss Tsukino Usagi!" Haruna's voice boomed, instantly making Usagi shrink, "If you are done interrupting the class?"

Usagi sunk back down into her chair, "Sorry, sensei..."

After school, Usagi grinned to herself as she jogged to meet up with her cousin, "Hey Cora!"

"That's Cora Lou." She replied irritably, "It's my first name. I don't call you 'usa' or 'gi' do I?"

Usagi frowned a little, "Sheesh, sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. What's wrong? Is it the first day jitters?"

"Hardly." Cora Lou told her looking around, "What do you want, anyway?"

Usagi smiled bright, "I wanted to see if you wanted to go to the Crown Arcade with me. It's really fun and there's this guy that works there that's completely-"

"No thanks."

"What?" Usagi stopped in her tracks, "But it's on the way home..."

"I have things to do at the house." Cora Lou answered, "If you wouldn't mind, I need to go. I'll see you at dinner or something."

"Well.. Ok.." Usagi sighed but couldn't help feeling bummed out. Cora Lou was never this grouchy when they were kids. "Hmph, what got into her?"

On her way home, Cora Lou grumbled as she kicked a rock. "How annoying."

"What's annoying?" A masculine voice asked. "You seemed ill-tempered."

Cora Lou turned, frowning, "Who said that?" Before her eyes landed on a small black and white dog with an upside down silver crescent moon on it's forehead. "What..the? Did someone tattoo that on you?"

The dog snorted, "Hardly." Sniffing around her he then noticed, "Yup, you're the one."

"I'm the one, what?"

The Dog smiled at her, "I'm Sin, and you are the chosen warrior, Sailor Invert Moon!"

"Cute, but no." Cora shook her head, "It'll get in the way of my studies."

"Studies for what?" Sin walked around her trying to stop her from going anywhere, "Do you even have a dream?"

"Of course I do, but to be honest, it doesn't matter to you."

"Sure it does." The little tail wagged, " Didn't you ever feel that you were destined for more? That you just trudge through life with no direction other than pleasing your parents?" The tiny dog tilted his head, ears going up, "Tell me, what decision have you made for yourself, just once?"

Cora Lou said nothing watching the animal. It sucked that he was telling the truth. What had she done on her own?

"Listen, if you do this, you might find what you're looking for." Sin continued, "As Sailor Invert Moon, your destiny is to prevent a greater Evil from consuming this planet. You have to protect it from other dangers- as well as keeping some people from using their power."

"Eh?" Cora Lou shook her head, "That makes..no sense."

"Now now, listen to me." Sin said to her, "Because if they use their power, they will attract a greater evil. Each time this power is used and strengthened, it'll bring a more dangerous enemy to it. It's important that you stop that from happening."

Chewing on her lower lip, Cora Lou nodded, "Alright, what do I have to do?"

The dog flipped and a dark cyan- almost teal- colored brooch appeared. "You need to transform with this. Take it, and say, "Moon Inversion Power, Clean up!"

She bent down, looking over the brooch for a bit before sighing, "Fine. What's the worst that could happen?" Looking around and seeing no one she held the brooch up and shouted, "Moon Inversion Power- Clean Up!"

Luna ran for her life. Never in all her years did she have to do something like this. What's more from a Sailor Soldier at that!

"Give it up, Luna!" Sailor Invert Moon yelled raising her hand, "I'll never allow you to find Sailor Moon!"

Luna jumped into the air just as Sailor Invert Moon launched her attack, "Moon Inversion Gravity!"

"Why are you stopping me from this?" Luna cried, her body twitched in pain, "Are..Are you working for the Dark Kingdom?!"

"Just give it up, Cat." Sailor Invert Moon told her, "Go find some nice old lady to live with!"

"Never!" Luna hissed running , "I'll find Sailor Moon- and the Princess!"

Sailor Invert Moon huffed, "They always got to play it the hard way- Moon Inversion Gravity!" She threw the energy ball at the cat, again barely missing her.

Luna cried out in pain, too weak to move. "Who..who are you?"

"Hmph, nothing you need to know about." Sailor Invert Moon said walking over to her and bending down, " Lucky for you, this doesn't require your death." She pulled out some band aides and put it over the crescent moon, "There, now you'll never be able to even utter a word. Those band aides are in enchanted to seal your power."

Luna meows pathetically, glaring at her.

"Cute, but as you can tell, I don't care." Sailor Invert Moon stood up and dusted off her hands, "That was easy."

She turned and walked away from the cat. Though as she let her transformation go, she frowned as she saw two men- one in white with a black mask and another in black with a white mask- fighting before the one in black ran off to the rooftops. The one in white gave chase after him.

Cora Lou thought it was odd but figured it wasn't any of her business and went home.

Week later...

Cora Lou thought her job was over. It was a minor disappointment. The monsters that did come crawling around were weak and completely not a challenge. She had thought this would be some nice drawn out thing, but it seemed not.

At least until Sin appeared again to her after school, when she managed to get away from Usagi and her ever 'Lets play at the Arcade' thing.

"We have a problem." The little dog said with a very serious expression, "It seems, Luna has found Sailor Moon."

The only thing Cora Lou could say with great feeling was: "...Shit."
