CHAPTER 1
A NEW REVOLUTION
______________________________
"Oh. My. God. 3:50 already! This CAN NOT be the right time, it just can't be!" Serena Tsukino told her, releasing the Sailor V game's joystick. "Hey Serena, do you want another milkshake?" Said a voice from behind. Serena spun around to face Andrew, the clerk of the arcade, AND Serena's crush. "What time is it?!" She asked urgently, completely ignoring his question. "Huh? Oh, It's..." Andrew paused to stare at the clock on the wall "3:51, why do you...." "It IS the right time! Rae and the others are gonna' kill me!" Serena yelled interrupting the bewildered Andrew. She swiftly ran past Andrew and headed toward the Arcade's sliding doors "Wait Serena! You..." "Sorry Andrew, gotta' go, I'm REALLY late!" Serena called behind her as she bolted out the doors. "You forgot your school bag." Andrew finished to himself, sighing. He picked up Serena's school bag and thrust it toward the Arcade's entrance. As though waiting for someone to grab it out of his hands. And sure enough there was.
The doors, quickly slid open as the blushing Serena ran back in. She showed a sign of relief when she noticed what Andrew contained in his hands. "He, he, silly me." She mumbled in a singsong voice, while grasping her school bag's handle. She pulled it out of his hands, smiling, an embarrassed smile. As she placed the bag to her sides, she felt the tip of a finger on her forehead. Blushing furiously she realized it was Andrew's. Smiling he brushed Serena's golden hair from her eyes. "You know Serena you look cute when you're worried." He stated laughing under his breath. "REALLY?" Serena asked surprised. But before she received a response she said "you know, I think I WILL have that milkshake now." Forgetting about Rae and the Sailor Scout meeting.
"But don't you have to go somewhere?" He asked confusingly. Serena's eyes widened as Andrew reminded her. She pulled up her watch hand. "Oh my god! I am so late!" She screamed. Luckily Serena's loud voice hadn't caused a large crowd to form around the two. "Bye Andrew!" She called running out of the arcade for the second time. "That Serena, you gotta' love her." Andrew said to himself laughing, as he waved. Then he went back to his customers.
"Argh! That Rae! She always finds a way to ruin my moment." Serena thought out loud turning her second corner, since the arcade. "She just makes me so mad I just wanna'...." "OOOF!" Serena's thoughts were broken into by a sudden collision. "Ouch!" She yelled again as her butt hit the sidewalk. "Can't you ever go somewhere without bumping into me you klutz!" Said a familiar voice ["Oh God, please don't make my day worse! don't let it be Darien! Please! Oh PLEASE!"] Serena thought to herself looking up. "YOOOOOU!" She yelled out angrily, when she had realized it was Darien, her worst enemy. She rose up off the ground in pain, hand on her behind. "YES ME!" Darien replied loudly "is bumping into me a hobby, of yours?" Serena asked him angrily.
"No, how about you? Everywhere I go you ALWAYS bump into me!" Darien responded "me bump into you! You're the one who always bumps into me! Do you even have a life!" Serena yelled back in fury. "If I were paid 5 cents for every time YOU bumped into me I'd be a millionaire!" Darien told her unaware of the crowd that had formed around them. "I can't figure out what Rae..." Serena's insult paused at the mention of Rae's name. "Oh, my god! Rae!" Serena said to herself "they're gonna' kill me!" She said, eyes beginning to swell up with tears, but she blinked them away as soon as they came, hoping Darien hadn't seen. Serena picked up her school bag she had dropped in the sudden collision, and ran past Darien toward Rae's house limping.
For a second Darien felt sorry for Serena, until she reached the corner and spun around with an angry look in her eye. "THIS ISN'T OVER DARIEN SHIELDS!" She had called. ["My mistake."] Darien thought sarcastically. Glued to his spot, he continued to watch Serena until her golden ribbons of hair were out of sight. "That meatball head deserves what she deserves." He said angrily. All of a sudden his vision dazed and a beautiful girl, looking somewhat like Serena, appeared. She had golden hair that went below her ankles, and had two buns next to each other on top of her head. She wore an elegant pure white dress that trailed to the ground. The top of the dress bodice was trimmed with gold; she had white hair barrettes in her golden hair, and had crescent moon earrings in each ear. But she appeared for only a second. When he came to he realized where he was, in front of a jewelry store. "What the hell am I doing HERE?" He asked himself. "Man, I think I'm losing my mind." He said sarcastically. As he turned to leave something caught his eye in the display window. He turned back around and noticed it was a star locket. ["That's a perfect gift for... Rae."] He thought smiling ["She'll love it"]
He opened the store door and walked in. Immediately he spotted one of Serena's friends, Molly Baker, and her mom the owner of the store. He walked up to Molly's mom "Hi; I would like to buy that star locket in the display window." He said politely "Oh sure, but I doubt you'll be interested." She said walking up to the window, she unlocked it then pulled out the locket. "Why?" Darien asked as she handed it to him "because this old thing hasn't played in years." She replied in disappointment. As Darien opened it a beautiful song began to play. "BUT HOW! That thing never played before!" Yelled her mom "well it is now." Darien replied in puzzlement. "So I take it you're going to purchase it?" Said a voice; turning around he saw Molly. "Um, yah." Darien replied. "Ok, good let me take that and I'll bag it up for you." She said. "Thanks." Darien said passing it to her. Molly took it walked behind the counter, scanned it and placed it in a small white bag.
Her mother followed, and gave Darien a receipt. He took the bag, thanked them, and left. He could here Molly's mom say to her "Great job sweetie, now I know you're ready to take my place!" "Thanks Mom! Hey wasn't that a little freaky?" She heard Molly ask, but he was unable to hear anymore for the door had blocked out the conversation. He turned a corner and began to head toward his apartment "I can give it to her tomorrow." He thought.
"LATE AGAIN SERENA! CAN'T YOU EVER BE ON TIME! JUST ONCE! THAT WOULD SHOW ME YOU HAVE BRAIN AT LEAST!" Rae's voice echoed throughout the temple. "SHUT UP RAE! I DO TO HAVE A BRAIN! AND I WOULD'VE BEEN HERE ON TIME BUT..." Rae interrupted Serena and said "BUT WHAT! THE ARCADE SLOWED YOU DOWN!" "YAH! THAT TOO! BUT NO! THE REASON WAS MR. JERK FACE, THE ONE YOU CALL BOYFRIEND BUMPED INTO ME AGAIN! HIS INSULTS SLOWED ME DOWN!" Serena replied angrily. "Oh wow, great excuse." Lita mumbled to Amy. Rae had been dating Darien for over a month, and even still Serena couldn't figure out what Rae saw in the guy. Amy frowned at the arguing two then said "Can you two stop..." "YOU SAW DARIEN! REALLY WHERE!" Rae asked anxiously, seeming to forget about Serena's mistake. "Near the arcade!" Serena replied cooling down. Rae jumped up and ran out the door. After about a minute her head popped into sight "Oh yah! Study session over, I just remembered, I uh, had something to do." She said as sweet as possible. "Whatever." They all replied. Rae smiled at them then left.
"Really Serena, the arcade." Said Luna, her talking cat, incredulously. "What? No one was playing the Sailor V game and I just kinda' felt sorry for it, because it looked so lonely..." Serena said trying to sound convincing "Enough Serena, save us the lame excuse." Mina said sourly. We might as well leave." Amy stated putting her books in a pile. "Yah, you're right let's go," agreed Lita and Mina. Serena just sat there in shock "you mean I wasted my moment with Andrew, bumped into Darien, AND got yelled at for nothing!" She asked. "Looks that way." Luna said slyly. "You should have been here earlier." Artemis added. "But, uh, what, What am I suppose to do NOW!" Serena asked.
After along while Lita spoke "you can come over my house Serena, maybe you can actually learn to cook." Lita said smiling. Amy and Mina tried to hold back their laughter. Serena smiled and said thanks. As she headed toward the door she spun around "HEY!" She yelled "what's THAT supposed to mean?" She asked. That really got to Amy and Mina, for they began to laugh hysterically. Luna and Artemis just stood there in shock. Covering her eyes with one paw Luna mumbled "oh my god." To herself. "Let's go guys." Lita said immediately, noticing the anger in Serena's eyes. Amy and Mina wiped the tears from their eyes and headed out the door. Followed by Lita and Serena, then by Luna and Artemis. "Can we all go to the arcade?" Asked Serena, hopefully. "Sure, why not." Lita said agreeing "Ok." Said the rest.
As they reached the arcade the sky darkened and it began to rain. The girls ran the rest of the way. But even so, they got drenched. Walking in the arcade, Andrew approached the four of them. "Jeez, It's really pouring out there." He said. "Yeah, one-minute warm weather the next, you're drenched." Amy agreed. "Well I'll get you all the usual, then." Andrew said, then left. They all sat in a booth and waited. After 2 hours Amy, Lita, and Mina, decided to leave. "Well, bye guys." Serena called after them. They waved then walked into the rain. Serena was able to see Amy go one way while Mina and Lita went the other way. They left from view, running. Serena smiled then continued drinking her milkshake. "Hey Serena." Said Andrew' voice. Serena looked up and noticed he was standing next to her.
"Oh, hi." Serena replied thoughtfully. "You want another milkshake?" He asked "No, I gotta be going, mom's gonna be wondering where I went." Serena replied. She rose from her spot and headed toward the door. "Bye." She called then left. "THERE YOU ARE!" Said a voice. "Luna what are you doing out here?" Serena asked surprised "UM! Let me think! Waiting for you!" Luna replied angrily. "Oh yah sorry." Serena apologized. She opened her purple umbrella she always kept in handy in her school bag, grabbed Luna and walked into the rain. On the way to her house they both kept silent, all that was heard was the SPITTER SPATTER of the rain falling on the umbrella. All of a sudden Serena's vision dazed and was replaced by a vision of a tall handsome figure, with jet-black hair with night blue highlights, and deep ocean blue eyes. The figure wore a suit of black armor trimmed with silver lines, large sword by his side, and had a dashing black cape with an underside of red.
Her thoughts were broken into by Luna's yells "SERENA!" Her vision went back to the way it was, and Serena realized she stood in the center of Crossroads Park. "Serena!" Luna called again, Serena gasped and asked "Huh? What?" Looking around she realized she was in the center of the local park "why am I in the center of the park." She asked Luna, surprised. "You should know! YOU brought us here." Luna replied. Luna awaited Serena's lame excuse. But nothing came. She looked up to see what Serena had been doing and realized she was staring at something. Serena's eyes widened when she saw a blonde, with shoulder length hair, and about her age. She wore a pink sailor scout outfit, and was standing under the pouring rain. And the weird thing was she wasn't even getting wet, it seemed as if an invisible barrier blocked the rain from falling on her.
The girl continued to stare at Serena, no expression in her sky blue eyes. "Serena." Luna whispered, but Serena just stood there. "Serena." She whispered again, Serena whipped her head sideways, to look at Luna. "Yah?" She asked "what are you looking at?" Luna asked. She moved her eyes from Serena to where she had been looking, but she saw nothing. Serena did the same and searched the park, looking for the girl she had seen ["HEY! where'd she go?"] Serena asked herself. "Well?" Luna asked waiting for an answer "Oh, uh, um, Nothing." Serena replied. She figured it be best if she kept this to herself at least until she figured out what was going on. "Well, okay, we better get going; your mother will be worried sick!" Luna said.
Serena looked at Luna and noticed the suspiciousness in her eyes, but she knew Luna would ask no more about what had happened. As they headed toward home, Serena took one last glimpse of where the girl had stood, and continued on her way. That night Serena couldn't sleep, whatsoever, she continued to think about the vision she had, and the girl she had seen. ["Maybe, there's a connection between the two?"] Serena thought turning to her side. She rose her head into the air when she heard a knock on the door, and her mother's voice "Honey, it's time to go to bed." She said "okay, mom, love you, good night." Serena replied. She changed into her bunny pajama's that went a little below her butt, and slipped under her purple blankets, that contained the pictures of crescent moons and white bunny's.
Bunny's were Serena's favorite animal, giving her the nickname 'Bunny' at times. She turned out her light, placed her hands under her head and continued to think. ["Okay, let me think... They can't have a connection, because, I feel as though I know that guy, but as for that teen, I have no clue on who she is... But what does THAT matter? I've known Rae for 8 years, and still feel like I don't know her."] Serena thought smiling. ["Maybe it has something to do with Sailor Moon? OH I DON'T KNOW!"] Serena sat up and rubbed her stomach "I can't think while I'm starving." She told herself getting up from bed.
She opened her door and walked into the dark, quiet, and deserted hallway, the quiet raindrops hitting against the hallway windows. Serena crept past her brother Sammy's and parents room as quietly as she could. At times she would here the floor creak under her bare-footed feet, but other then that there was nothing but silence. Reaching the bottom of the carpeted stairs, she let out a sigh of relief, showing her happiness that she hadn't been caught. She walked into the kitchen and turned on the pale light above the sink. She pulled a cup from the cabinet and filled it up midway, with water. As she drank she continued to think about her vision, and that girl. ["The girl wore a Sailor Scout outfit so that must make her one of the good guys..."] Serena thought setting down her cup, then walking over to the refrigerator. ["... But if she is why haven't I seen her before?"] She mentally asked herself. She took a bite of the ham and cheese sandwich she just made ad said out loud "I just don't get it!" Completely forgetting about being sneaky.
"And what don't you get?" Asked a small voice. Serena looked to the ground where the voice had come from and saw, noisy Luna "none of your business." Serena said to her, ready to take the last bite of her sandwich. "Apparently if you're up this late, and tomorrow you can't get up because you're too tired, IT IS MY BUSINESS!" Luna screamed trying to keep her voice loud enough for only Serena to hear. "I got hungry!" Serena replied angrily. "You know you must keep fit!" Luna reminded her "The Sailor Scout business keeps me in shape for your information!" Serena yelled back "but still you shouldn't be slacking of like a total Klutz! You know we should be looking for the moon princess!" "Moon Princess, this, Moon Princess that! You say she can help save the world from evil, I don't see her helping us with the enemies!" "No! But put it this way, if she was, SHE wouldn't be acting like a total ditz like you always act!" Luna screamed in a low whisper "I resent that Luna!" "Well, isn't that something, you actually learned a new word!" Luna replied sarcastically. Serena's eyes began to swell up with tears as Luna's insult rang through her ears like a loud thunder. "Why are you so mean?" Serena asked, throat tightening.
Luna's anger turned into sorrow "Listen Serena I didn't..." "I hate you Luna! I hate being Sailor Moon! And I hate it that everyone calls me a ditz!" She screamed, as tears ran down her cheeks like a running waterfall. "Serena listen..." "No you listen! Leave me alone! Let me be!" Serena cried. She got up from her chair quickly and ran upstairs to her room, silent tears falling off her pale face. "Serena!..." but it was to late Serena was already in her room crying, and all because of Luna. "I'm sorry." Luna finished of to the floor. Luna dragged her feet on the way toward the living room couch. She jumped onto the couch and put herself in a comfortable position and thought ["I don't think I'll be sleeping with Serena tonight."] then she fell asleep with guilt on her mind.
Serena slowly shut the door, trying to keep her parents and Sammy asleep. When closed, Serena walked over to her bed, and returned to her soft, warm covers. No sooner then she has laid down she sat back up and reached toward the end of her bed. She pulled toward her a small stuffed white bunny, then returned to lying down. "I am not a ditz, I don't eat too much, and I'm not a meatball head." Serena reminded herself, forgetting about her thoughts before. "I don't care what Luna, Darien, Rae, or the girls say." She said angrily. Fiddling with the bunny's ear she finally fell asleep.
To Be Continued....

"And what don't you get?" Asked a small voice. Serena looked to the ground where the voice had come from and saw, noisy Luna "none of your business." Serena said to her, ready to take the last bite of her sandwich. "Apparently if you're up this late, and tomorrow you can't get up because you're too tired, IT IS MY BUSINESS!" Luna screamed trying to keep her voice loud enough for only Serena to hear. "I got hungry!" Serena replied angrily. "You know you must keep fit!" Luna reminded her "The Sailor Scout business keeps me in shape for your information!" Serena yelled back "but still you shouldn't be slacking of like a total Klutz! You know we should be looking for the moon princess!" "Moon Princess, this, Moon Princess that! You say she can help save the world from evil, I don't see her helping us with the enemies!" "No! But put it this way, if she was, SHE wouldn't be acting like a total ditz like you always act!" Luna screamed in a low whisper "I resent that Luna!" "Well, isn't that something, you actually learned a new word!" Luna replied sarcastically. Serena's eyes began to swell up with tears as Luna's insult rang through her ears like a loud thunder. "Why are you so mean?" Serena asked, throat tightening.
Luna's anger turned into sorrow "Listen Serena I didn't..." "I hate you Luna! I hate being Sailor Moon! And I hate it that everyone calls me a ditz!" She screamed, as tears ran down her cheeks like a running waterfall. "Serena listen..." "No you listen! Leave me alone! Let me be!" Serena cried. She got up from her chair quickly and ran upstairs to her room, silent tears falling off her pale face. "Serena!..." but it was to late Serena was already in her room crying, and all because of Luna. "I'm sorry." Luna finished of to the floor. Luna dragged her feet on the way toward the living room couch. She jumped onto the couch and put herself in a comfortable position and thought ["I don't think I'll be sleeping with Serena tonight."] then she fell asleep with guilt on her mind.
Serena slowly shut the door, trying to keep her parents and Sammy asleep. When closed, Serena walked over to her bed, and returned to her soft, warm covers. No sooner then she has laid down she sat back up and reached toward the end of her bed. She pulled toward her a small stuffed white bunny, then returned to lying down. "I am not a ditz, I don't eat too much, and I'm not a meatball head." Serena reminded herself, forgetting about her thoughts before. "I don't care what Luna, Darien, Rae, or the girls say." She said angrily. Fiddling with the bunny's ear she finally fell asleep.
