~*Sailor Serena, The New Life*~

~*Episode One: The Awakening of Sailor Serenity, Sailor Moon Is Born!*~

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------

"I am going to be so late!" Serena Tsukino screamed as she ran down the streets of
Juuban. She was running to school a few minutes late as usual, when she tripped on
something lying on the sidewalk.

"Ouch!" Serena lifted up her shoe and to her surprise she had stepped on a black cat!
"I'm so sorry." Serena apologized as she picked up the cat. The cat had a mysterious
bandaid on it's forehead. Serena peeled it off to reveal a crescent moon. "Wow..."
Serena felt that she knew this cat somehow... She shook her head. "No way." Serena
then put the cat back on the ground. "I better get to class!"

-----------------------------------

After School...

"Serena, I can't believe you!" Molly Osaka yelled. Molly was Serena's best friend
since kindergarten. "You made it to class right as the bell rang!"

Serena smiled, "I just had to run really fast." Serena and Molly were walking home
together as they usually would.

"So," Molly began. "What did you get on the history test? I got an 83%!"

"Er," Serena hesitated. "A... Well... A 37!"

"A 37?!" Molly asked. "You're mom is gonna kill you!"

"That's what I'm afraid of..."

"Well, to take your mind off of all of this... Do you want to come with me to visit
my mother's jewlery store? You know... Osa-P... They're having a sale!"

"I'd love too!" Serena yelled. "But, I told my mom that I'd go right home... Maybe
I'll catch up with you later..."

"Okay. See you later, Serena!" Molly waved as she turned the corner.

"See you later!" Serena waved. 'I can only hope that mom takes my test score well...'

-----------------------------------

"YOU GOT A 37?!" Ikuko Tsukino yelled so loud that the next neighborhood could hear.

"Mother, it's not such a big deal." Serena replied. "I promise I'll do better next
time. I swear..."

"Don't even think about it! I want you to stay out of this house until you think
about what you've done!" Ikuko screamed as she pushed Serena out the door.

"Mother!" Serena cried as she banged on the door. "Let me in!"

Ikuko then threw the test paper back at Serena. "You better be home by seven!" With that,
the door was slammed shut.

Serena grabbed the paper and stomped away. "Fine! I don't need my bed! Or my radio!
Or my Manga!" Serena smiled when she noticed the Crown Game Center. "I just need to play
a few games to take my mind off this mess..." Serena reached into her pocket and was shocked
to find no money... "Why does this always happen to me?!" Serena asked as she sat down
crying. "I left my money at home!"

Serena looked up to see a new poster. It was of a female warrior. "Wow! She looks so cool!"
Serena paused to read the sign. "Sailor V... Wow! I wish I was exactly like Sailor V! She
wouldn't have to worry about grades, mothers, or finding a boyfriend." Serena stopped her
thoughts as she mentally continued to read, 'Join her as uses her Sailor V kick to keep
the peace in England.'

"So, she's from England? Great!" Serena smiled as an idea came to mind, "Sailor V Kick!"

Serena screamed when she noticed that her kick had failed. She had landed on the floor
with a scratch on her knee. "OUCH! WAAAAAAAAA!"

Meanwhile, the same black cat from earlier was seen watching from a corner.

--------------------------------

"Jedite, I'm guessing that you know what you're purpose is..."

Jedite nodded, "Queen Beryl, I will get you the energy needed for Metallia to
awaken."

Queen Beryl smiled wickedly, "You better not fail me..."


---------------------------------

Serena continued to stomp up and down the streets as she held onto the test paper.
"WHY AM I STILL HOLDING ONTO IT?!" Serena screamed as she crumpled it up and
threw it into the air.

"Ouch."

Serena turned as she spotted an older guy behind her. She had hit him in the head
with her test paper!

Serena apologized, "I'm sorry... I should have been more careful."

"It's okay, there's no damage." The guy opened up the test paper. "You got a 37 on
your history test? Now that's an ouch."

"Don't be mean!"

"It says here that this paper belongs to Serena Tsukino... So I'm guessing that's you're name?"

Serena nodded, "Now give it back... Uh... Hey! What is your name?"

"Darien Chiba."

"Well, give it back, Darien!"

Darien tossed back the paper with a laugh. "You're hair... It sure is... interesting."

"Hey!" Serena yelled. Serena's hair was up in two bun-pigtails... She always put her
hair up like that and never got any negative comments. "You're rude!"

"I'm not saying that it's bad-looking or anything like that... They look like a pair of
meatballs!"

"You're not funny..."

"Well, I better be going. I'll see you around, Meatball Head!" Darien turned the corner
and continued to walk.

"What a rude guy! He was only a little good-looking!" Serena frowned as her stomache began
to rumble... "I've got to get some food!" Serena began to head home... Her mother had to
let her back in...

A black cat seemed to be following Serena home...

------------------------------

"Mom! Please open up!" Serena knocked.

"Serena, you're home early." Ikuko answered. "Did you think about your score?"

Serena handed over the test paper. "Tons. In fact, I'm gonna go study now!" Serena ran into
the house and grabbed some snacks before running upstairs to her room.


------------------------------

"I'm so glad I'm home!" Serena yelled in delight as she wolfed down her snacks until the
last crumb was gone. "THAT was good!" The wind began to blow quite hard and Serena was about
to shut the window when that black cat jumped in.

Serena screamed, "It's you again! Why are you following me?!"

Serena knew that her question was stupid... Cats can't talk... So when she got an answer,
it made her very confused.

"I'm Luna." The cat spoke. "I have come to find you because peace has been disrupted."

"And why do you need me?" Serena asked.

"Because you are Sailor Moon, protector of Princess Serenity! Our mission is to find Princess
Serenity and stop the Dark Kingdom." Luna explained.

"No way," Serena paused. "First a talking cat is following me, then I find out I'm like
Sailor V?" Serena laughed, "What a strange dream!"

"You're not dreaming!" Luna yelled. "I'll prove it." Luna did a turn in the air and
a brooch appeared. "It's for you."

"Wow!" Serena yelled as she put it on the bow of her school uniform. "Thank you!"

"That's not all! Yell Moon Prism Power, Make-up!"

"Moon Prism Power, Make-up!" Suddenly, Serena was wearing an entirely different outfit.
"No way, I've BECOME Sailor V!" Sailor Moon began to cry, "I can't do this!"

"Serena, be quiet!" Luna scolded. "A message is coming through!"

"Huh?" Sailor Moon asked as her pigtails began to glow... A voice seemed to come from the
light.

"I NEED HELP!"

"That's Molly's voice!" Sailor Moon screamed. "She's in danger!"

"That's right!" Luna responded. "We better go help her!

-------------------------------------

Sailor Moon was shocked at the sight before her... A monster was choking Molly's mother
by the neck and Molly was already tied to the wall!

"Stop right there!" Sailor Moon yelled.

"Why? Who's asking me too?" The monster asked. "I'm a Youma Monster of Queen Beryl and I
don't take orders unless they are from her or her generals!"

"I'm... Uh... I'm Sere... No, that's not right..." Sailor Moon hesitated.

"You're Sailor Moon!" Luna interupted. "We've got to work on your memory..."

"Agent of love and justice! I am the pretty sailor-suited soldier, Sailor Moon! In the
name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"

Molly turned her head in a perplexed fashion, "Sailor Moon?"

"I command you shoppers to attack!" The monster yelled.

The shoppers at the store procceded to attack Sailor Moon.

"What's wrong with them?!" Sailor Moon asked.

"They're under a spell!" Luna yelled. "Use your tiara!"

"I can't!" Sailor Moon screamed as she was pushed against the wall. "I don't want to do this
anymore!" She cried. "I'm getting hurt!"

Suddenly, a red rose fell to the ground. Sailor Moon looked up to see a man in a tuxedo and
mask.

His voice was more powerful than anything she had ever heard. "Sailor Moon, please don't give
up. You can win! Just trust in yourself!"

Sailor Moon nodded as she got up. "I'll do it for you!" Sailor Moon jumped up and down as
she removed her tiara. "Moon Tiara Action!"

Soon the monster was nothing but dust. The customers fainted and soon returned to normal.

"Yay!" Sailor Moon yelled. "I beat that monster for you-" Sailor Moon stopped when
she noticed that the man was gone.

"Good job, Sailor Moon!" Luna congradulated. "I knew you could do it!"

"Thanks, Luna. I just hope he saw it."

A/N: Okay, this chapter was a little boring, I know. Anyway, things won't pick up until AFTER
Sailor Mars is found. So, things won't pick up for another two chapters... -_-; Anyway, I wrote
this fic along time ago when I was still very much a dubbie... But, as the chapters progress you
will see more stuff relating to the original.

Also if you haven't read my other stories, here is a guide:

------------------=Scene Change

' '=Thinking

" "-Talking

Also since this story is already written, [i'm just fixing things here and there] you
have next chapter previews!

If you didn't read Tuxedo Mirage, you should because it'll explain some things!

I don't own Sailor Moon, and I never will...

Also, I'm starting my fic from the BEGGINING of the series, and it's MY universe... So
I mix up some names, facts, etc. The names factor is explained in Tuxedo Mirage.

Please be kind and review!
