Sailor Moon-American Senshi
by Eugol Dlareg



I do not own any of the main characters in this story except for Gilded Rose. They are owned by someone in Japan. However, with the exception of Serena Campbell and Amy Anderson, I do own the Americanized names of the characters, as well as many of the supporting characters and villians. To make things easy, we'll just say that anything that has appeared in the manga or anime version of Sailor Moon is owned by someone in Japan, most likely Toei or Naoko Takeuchi.

Previously on Sailor Centurions:
The Sailor Centurions traveled to Alcatraz, where they made easy work of one of the minions of the Black Moon Circus. Afterwards, Jake remained in San Fransisco to get a loaf of sourdough bread, and purchased a puzzle from a street vendor. Upon returning home, he solved the puzzle, and inadvertantly wished Amy back from the dead.

THE SAILOR CENTURIONS
EPISODE 4
WELCOME BACK, AMY ANDERSON

==Friday, 19 September, 1986 8:30 p.m. Jake Slater's house==

"I thought we were going to Rae's house," Amy Anderson said.

"We are," Jake said. "I want to change first." He went upstairs. He came down five minutes later, now wearing black tapered-leg jeans, a black long sleeved t-shirt, and suede Beatle boots. "You got to change before we left your house." Before they left, Amy had changed from her dress, jacket, and sandals, to blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and boots.

They cut across the front yard to Rae's house, and came to the trellise. "What did I just get myself into?" Amy asked.

"Don't worry," Jake said. "I do this all the time."

Amy looked at the trellise. "Are you sure that thing can handle my weight?" Amy asked.

"Yes," was Jake's reply.

"Are you absolutely certain?" Amy asked.

"Yes," Jake said. "I climb it all the time, and I outweigh you by a pretty sizable amount. If it'll hold me, I'd bet certain parts of my anatomy it'll hold you." Jake began to climb.

"If you say so," Amy said, as she began to climb up the trellise. "You never lied to me before, and I don't think you're going to start now."

As Amy reached the veranda, Jake helped her up the railing. They went to the door, and Jake knocked on it. "Come in Jake," Rae said.

"I told you I do this all the time," Jake said as he opened the door. "You are not going to believe what happened tonight," he told Rae.

"Try me," Rae said.

"Well," Jake said, "it's like this. I kind of inadvertantly wished Amy back to life."

"You're right," Rae said. "I don't believe it. Even considering what you and I have been through in the last few months."

"Do you believe him now?" Amy said, entering Rae's bedroom.

Rae turned white as a sheet. "Jake," she said. "I think I just saw a ghost."

"I'm no ghost," Amy said.

Rae threw a small stuffed bear at Amy, the bear bounced harmlessly off her stomach. "You're not a ghost," Rae said. "If you were, that bear would have gone right through you."

"So now do you believe me?" Amy said.

"Sure," Rae said.

"Listen," Jake said. "Call the team, including Serena, and have them meet tomorrow at eleven at my house. Just don't tell them about Amy. I want it to be a surprise."

"Okay," Rae said.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Jake said. "I'm going to take Amy home."

"See you tomorrow," Rae said.

Jake and Amy left, and drove off to Amy's house. "Listen," Jake said. "There's something I have to tell you."

"About you and Rae?" Amy asked. "I hooked you two up, remember? I was dead. You got on with your life. End of discussion."

"Okay," Jake said. "Besides, it's going to get kind of weird between us if what I think is going to happen happens."

"What do you think is going to happen?" Amy said.

"Let me put it this way," Jake said. "There is no way I would ever date my sister."

"You're not saying?" Amy asked.

"Let's just say I have a handful of rice with their names on it," Jake said.

==The next morning, 10:45 a.m., Jake's house==

Jake was pleasantly surprised at the punctuality of his friends. He had requested they be at his house by eleven, and the last arrival, Serena Campbell, had arrived fifteen minutes early. They had assembled on the patio, and everyone took a seat, except for Jake and Rae. Rae found a seat, and Jake called the meeting to order.

"You're probably wondering why I had Rae call all of you here this morning," Jake said.

"The understatement of 1986," Susan Makoto whispered to Jerry Mauser.

"You can say that again," Jerry whispered back.

"First off," Jake continued, "I would like to apologize for being so vague about why I called you here, it turns out I have a rather pleasant surprise for all of you."

"Believe me," Rae said. "Even considering what each of us has been through this year, this is a shocker."

"As you all know," Jake continued, "the victory against the Darkness was a costly one. Our teammate Sailor Mercury, oru friend Amy Anderson, paid the ultimate price, her life."

"We know this," Susan said. "We were there, remember?"

"I haven't finished yet," Jake said. "What I was going to say was, after our last battle, I stayed behind to pick up some sourdough bread, and bought a puzzle from a street vendor. What I didn't know at the time was that when solved, the puzzle would grant the solver a wish. Well, when I solved the puzzle, I wished that Amy was alive."

"You mean you called us all here to tell us you wished Amy were alive?" Elizabeth Minako said.

"No," Amy said, coming over to where the group was assembled. "He called you here to tell you he wished I were alive, and his wish was granted."

A shocked silence befell the group. Serena broke the silence two minutes later. "Welcome back, Amy Anderson," she said, as everyone gathered in a group hug.

epilog

==5:00 p.m., Amy's house==

Jerry Mauser rang the doorbell, and when Amy answered, Jerry took off his watch/communicator and handed it to her. "I believe this belongs to Sailor Mercury," he said, and walked away.

"Jerry," Amy said. "I believe you forgot something."

Jerry walked back to the door. "What did I forget?" he asked.

"This," Amy said, handing him his watch/communicator. "You said it belonged to Sailor Mercury."

"I know," Jerry said. "That's why I gave it to you."

"I'm not Sailor Mercury anymore," Amy said. "You are Sailor Mercury now."
