Blink.

Alison blinked, then suddenly she felt different clothes embrace her. For some reason she was wearing a blue skirt, which reminded her of the skirt Hanna had laughed at in the magazine previously that day. My hair, Alison thought and reached up to touch it. It had divided itself into two parts and wrapped itself up into two buns.

"Alison, you are Sailor Moon," Tippi said and flapped her wings. "Champion of love and justice, the leader of the Sailor Warriors."

Sailor. Justice. Leader. Warrior. The words rang in Alison's head and kept echoing over and over. She was unsure what was going on or if it was part of a dream. But she was the leader of something. That had to mean something good. That meant that she was somehow in a position of power somewhere.
Suddenly, Alison's head started spinning. She heard a scream coming from Noel Kahn. Her vision blurred and she could see him being strangled by a monster. Alison recognized the place as his cabin, where his older brother Eric always hosted parties. Her stomach started to hurt. What is happening to me? she asked herself as the vision slowly disappeared.

"Are you all right, Alison?" Tippi asked curiously and tilted her head a little bit towards the left side."

"Noel needs help," Alison breathed. "He is in his cabin..." Her brain immediately begun to work. How can I get there as fast as possible? Then it clicked in her head. She started to run towards her house, while Tippi flew after her.

"Are you asking your mother to drive you?" Tippi asked in confusion.

"Of course not," Alison replied, with an determined look on her face. "I will get my motorbike."

-Emily's POV-

Emily opened the door to her locker and started to gather her things. Her "good luck"-perfume that she received from Alison was probably the one she had the most emotional connection to. Before and after every swim she sprayed it on herself. Even if the smell always washed away during the swim, she still did it. Because it was a gift from Ali.

She carefully hugged the perfume and thought about Alison. How Alison always taunted her about her feelings and made her feel bad. But also about how Alison could make her feel really special and how strong and fearless she could be. Alison's bravery made her heart race every time it showed itself. All Emily had ever wanted was to borrow some of that bravery and use it.

Which she had.

A year ago, when she finally got the courage to kiss Alison. Sure, she had responded in an odd way and then spun it around to a really awkward moment. However, Emily carried the memory with herself every day. Because she had thrown herself out there. And when Maya moved into town just a few houses away from Alison, Emily decided to be brave again and help her move some boxes. It had resulted in Emily smoking weed and having her first kiss, if one did not count the one Alison rejected afterward.

Then Emily just flushed all her courage down the toilet. She felt guilty, as if she was cheating on Alison. So she broke up with Maya and now avoided her every day in school. Awkward.

"Hey, Fields," a voice said.

Emily turned around and saw her teammate Paige McCullers stare at her, smiling. "Hey, McCullers", Emily responded and gave her a brief smile. Emily and Paige got along well, but Emily always had a feeling that Paige secretly hated her. It had started somewhere when Emily became team captain. And now the team captain was ditching the team for no apparent reason. Identity crisis, Emily decided to call it. It seemed fitting. Emily had not felt like herself lately.

"I never really asked you," Paige said and walked up towards Emily. "Why are you quitting the team?"

Identity crisis, Emily's brain screamed. But for some reason her mouth could not find the strength to say those words.

"Swimming doesn't interest me anymore," she said and put the last things in her bag. "Besides, I was never a good captain. You are more of a leader than I am."

What happened to identity crisis?

"Emily," Paige said and looked at her with earnest concern. "You were a good captain."

Suddenly, before Emily had the chance to reply, Paige grabbed her and pushed her lips against hers.

Emily stiffened, her stomach warping. Oh my god. Before she had the time to think things through, Paige separated herself from her and stared at her with horrified eyes.

"Please don't tell anyone," she whispered. Then Paige turned around and walked out of the locker room.

Oh my god.

-Alison's POV-

Noel screamed, his scream echoing throughout the empty forest, as the monster threw him down.

"Please, Eric!" he yelled.

The monster laughed at him. "I am not your brother," it whispered. "He is locked inside the room with the others. After I have stolen your energy, I will take theirs too!"

A final scream left Noel's lunges, then the monster grabbed him and slowly started to drain his energy. A strange, purple color begin to form around Noel, then he started to feel how his strength faded.

"Get off Noel right now!" a voice yelled.

The monster widened his eyes and accidentally let go of Noel. Noel turned his head around at the same time as the monster did, and saw a strange figure in a Sailor suit standing not too far away from him.

Is this Sailor V? he wondered. But this mysterious girl was somehow different from the one he had seen on TV. This one had her hair tied up in two buns...

"I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice!" Alison yelled and walked towards the monster, staring it right in the eyes. "And in the name of the moon, I will punish you for attacking innocent humans!"

"Not your best," Tippi whispered.

Alison glared at her. The monster looked confused for a while, but then suddenly it reached forward its hand.

A door burst open.

Alison turned around and saw two people walking out of the cabin. Eric Kahn, she thought to herself. Cece Drake, she added to her mind. Her heart sank as she remembered the last time she spoke to Cece. The monster raised its hand and then moved it to the left, making Eric and Cece simultaneously run up to her. Eric was holding a bottle with alcohol and raised his arm.

"FUCK!" Alison screamed and jumped to the side, making Eric miss her with just an inch. Cece grabbed one of the outdoor chairs and threw it at her. Alison got hit and fell down on the ground, screaming in pain.

"Sailor Moon," Tippi yelled and flew towards her. "Are you all right?"

Before Alison could reply, a rose hit the ground. She looked up and saw a strange person wearing a tuxedo and a mask stand by a motorbike, parked right next to her own.

"Sailor Moon," he said and threw the last two roses at Eric and Cece. Impressive aim, Alison noted. They both fell down and ended up on the ground. "Believe in your powers!"

Alison raised an eyebrow, but Tippi flew up to her before she could think of a comeback. "Sailor Moon, use your tiara!"

"Noted," Alison said and turned to the monster, who looked furious at the sight of having her two servants defeated. Alison took the tiara off her head and gave the monster a quick smirk.

"The words will come to you," Tippi whispered. "If you really are Sailor Moon, you will already know them..."

Alison held her tiara tight. Nobody messes with my friends, even if they are assholes like Noel, she thought to herself.

"Moon Tiara Action!" she yelled and threw the tiara at the monster.

The light blinded the monster's eyes, and then it screamed in pain as it perished, literally turning into ashes. Alison stared as it slowly begin to turn into sand, and then from sand to nothingness. Her stomach rumbled. What the hell is happening to me? She looked at her hands, which had gloves on them.

"Well done, Sailor Moon," Tippi said and gave her a quick nod. "You did very good today, even if it was your first time fighting."

Alison turned around, and then realized that the masked stranger who told her to believe in herself had disappeared. Her heart sank a little, but she was not sure exactly why. She turned to Noel, but saw that he was gone too, together with Eric and Cece.

"Where did they go?" she asked in confusion.

Tippi looked around, just as confused as Alison was. Alison sighed and tried to resist the urge to kick something. The stupid prank that put her in this whole Sailor Moon-thing was just getting worse.

"Tippi," Alison said and turned to her parrot. "Are you sure this is not all just a big joke? A prank Noel is pulling on me?"

Tippi shook her tiny head. Alison turned to her motorbike. She needed a lot of time to think about this.

-Dark Kingdom POV-

"So Sailor V did not appear," the Queen said. "However, we were acquainted with another one of those Sailor Guardians..."

"I believe her name was Sailor Moon," Noel replied. "Can you recall a Sailor Moon from our past life, my Queen?"

No, was the honest answer. But Queen Beryl refused to seem weak in front of the Four Heavenly Kings, even if they were her servants.

"Jadeite," she said and walked up to Noel. "There are two of them now, which cannot be a good sign. Drain as many humans as possible of their energy, find the Silver Crystal and kill the princess – and her pathetic guardians – as soon as possible. I will not tolerate failure."

"Yes, my lady," Noel said and kneel in front of her. The Queen smiled.

"You will continue with your identity as Noel Kahn," the Queen said. "We know that Sailor V attends Rosewood High, so we must not waste such a great opportunity."

"And will you continue with your identity as Jenna Marshall, my queen?" Noel asked.

Queen Beryl – or Jenna, as her Earth identity was – smiled at him. "It helps me to see things for myself," she said. "Of course, I cannot see them, but simply listening to conversations is sometimes enough."

"I understand," Noel said, still kneeling in front of her.

"Jadeite," Jenna said. "Of all the Four Heavenly Kings, you are the one with the most potential. Make sure to use it."

"Yes, my lady," Noel said.

-Alison's POV-

Alison peered outside the window, looking at Jason talking to Garrett and Ian. She did not need to listen in to know what they were discussing. The N.A.T. Club. The videos. What they could do to make her stay quiet about them. She smiled at imagining how the conversation must sound. Garrett fearing to destroy his career in the law enforcement, Ian fearing to destroy his love life, and Jason who didn't actually care that much and just wanted the videos to get destroyed. The amazing N.A.T. Trio.

"Alison," Tippi whispered. "You will get in trouble."

Alison turned around and laid down in her bed, staring at the roof. "I am Sailor Moon, remember?" she laughed halfheartedly. "If someone tries to mess with me I will punish them in the name of the Moon."

Tippi rolled her eyes.

"Are the videos in a safe place?" she asked.

"Oh, believe me," Alison said. "They are in a very safe place. Things never get found until I want them to." Then she wrapped her blanket around herself and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. Tippi flew back inside her cage and leaned towards the wall inside it to imitate her.

But Alison couldn't sleep.

My name is Sailor Moon, but you can call me Moon.

I am the leader of four Sailor Guardians, pushed together by our mission to protect the princess and glued together by evil monsters disturbing the peace.

And I think I might like it.

You know, being the awesome superhero everyone wants to either kill, date or just be.

However, this is just another secret. Believe it or not, I have many of them. My biggest one involves my real identity.

Am I Alison DiLaurentis, Courtney DiLaurentis or Sailor Moon?

I don't even know myself anymore.
