A/N: I was so surprised by the many responses I got from this story. I knew Sailor Moon was popular, but it had been out of the mainstream for so long, I figured that it wasn't as popular. Oh well, I am please with the results. Anyway, this is how updating will work. Every time I write a new chapter, I will post the next chapter. I got bitten by the writer's bug (if there is such a thing) and got a lot of inspiration, so it shouldn't take long. Also, I use an anime reference in this chapter. I couldn't resist.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of its components.

Chapter Two

"Tsukino Usagi? Tsukino Usagi!"

Serenity winced at the sound of the teacher's voice. She looked up at her fiery eyes.

"Even if you are on time, for once, you must say 'here' Miss Tsukino. You probably didn't know that because you are always late."

Serenity blinked at the upset teacher. Looking around the classroom, she saw snickers and heard laughter. Blushing, she replied.

"I'm sorry."

"You're forgiven." Ms. Haruna stated as she went to the board. Serenity sighed internally. She knew that living someone else's life was going to be difficult.

"What do you mean you don't sense her?"

The young princess stared at her guardian with a frown

"I can't sense anyone else inside me. There is no one but me."

Now everyone was extremely worried.

"Luna," Mina began, "what does this mean about Usagi?" Everyone had the same thought on their minds. Luna kept silent. Their friend could be anywhere.

"Now, all of you turn to page 78 in your text book."

Serenity struggled with the text. It had been so long since she had reviewed the Earth language. She listen carefully, hoping she would recognize the symbols on the page with the words from the teacher. Some she recalled while others were completely foreign. Concentrating, she took detailed notes for when Usagi returned, knowing it would help her. Her attention broke at a finger nudged her paper. Distracted, she looked up at a stern Ms. Haruna.

"Miss Tsukino, what is that?" She addressed to the notebook. Serenity looked at the text.

"Those are my notes."

"In what language?"

"In my language."

"Are you trying to be funny?"

"No Ms. Haruna."

"Then write in Kanji."

"Why? I write just fine like this."

"Outside now."

"But…"

"Now." She finger pointed straight towards the door. "I will speak with you after class."

Serenity obeyed, gathering her belongings as she exited the classroom. She stood quietly outside, so she could hear Ms. Haruna. Her voice now seemed gentler, almost kinder as she spoke with the other students. Does Usagi always get treated like this?

Back on the Moon, she was the brightest student, who never got in trouble. Now this girl, who is supposed to be her, gets yelled at after only being in class for twenty minutes. The whole scene made her frustrated.

"I was." The words slipped from her mouth. It was still hard to believe. She was here not as herself, but as a shadow of someone else. All of the people she cared about were gone, lost in her memories of the past, shadows within their respective reincarnation.

She heard the lunch bell, signaling the students to be released from class. Usagi's fellow classmates began to walk orderly out of the classroom and towards the cafeteria. She watched them leave, waiting for Ms Haruna to come and speak with her. After everyone left, Serenity continued to wait. As anxiety set in, she began to lose her posture. Reacting quickly, she straightened her back. A proper princess keeps her posture whenever in public. Her mother's words played in her head, causing her to frown. She missed her mother, her court, her love. She wanted to return to that time, before the Earth Invasion.

"Hey," Ami waved to Serenity. The lone princess looked up towards the voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Never in my life have I been in trouble for doing school work. I am so embarrassed."

"Happens to Usagi all the time." Makoto stated.

At that moment, Ms. Haruna emerged from the classroom. Serenity looked at the teacher, waiting for her talk. All she got was a huge smile and a pat on the head.

"I think you have been punished enough. Go on and have lunch."

The three watched the giddy teacher head towards the cafeteria, whistling all the way. Serenity was now completely confused.

"She probably got a date between this morning and now," Ami whispered to Serenity, reading the baffled expression on her face, "That is why she is so nice now."

Serenity nodded uncertainly. This woman seemed so mean this morning but now is like a barrel of sunshine. How can a date make such a drastic change?

"Are you sure she is my reincarnation?"

"What?" Makoto responded.

"Are you sure Usagi is my reincarnation?"

"What do you mean?" Ami asked.

"From what I gather from your accounts of Usagi, she does not act like me at all. How can someone who is so different from me be me?"

"Technically she is not you," Ami began to explain, "Usagi and you have your own lives, but you share similar attributes and destiny, like protecting this world with the Silver Crystal."

Serenity gasped slightly. Her most powerful asset, her mother's precious jewel, never crossed her mind until now.

"Where is the Silver Crystal now?"

"You don't have it?" Makoto replied

Serenity bowed her head, sorrow in her eyes.

"No, I don't know where it is."
