Author's Note: Yes that's right... it's me again. Okay, so no one
knows who I am, but that's the price of putting out one story and just
quitting. I probably would've stayed in my little bubble of only
reading fan fiction, but I came up with a really great idea... at
least I thought it was great. I now know that writing makes me happy,
and as long as I love what I write and am pleased by it, I'll keep
doing it. This is the installment of this story, which is the first
story in a five-story saga. This one will set up all of the other
stories while telling one of it's own. I really recommend that you
read my story projection addition. It will explain what is going on,
and how things are going to go for my story. Thanks and enjoy, this
is really my story... truly, I love it, and I hope you do too.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon... never have, and never will.
Then again, neither do you, probably. I own the characters I made
up... but I own nothing else... not even a car, yet! So basically,
I'm saying it would be a waste of your time and mine... but it might be
fun! :)


Prologue

She closed the door resting her forehead on its cool surface, her
breath coming in short quick gasps. She turned around and collapsed
onto the soft carpeted floor. Leaning her back against the solid door
she allowed herself to do what she'd been longing to do since she had
set foot outside her house that morning. She could fall into her
thoughts and let all the problems of the outside world slip away, and
focus on just one person. Her own self.

What was wrong with a world where a girl was sometimes not allowed the
priceless treasure of indulging in self-pity? No, but that wasn't
right either. Other girls did get the chance to allow their bodies to
simply forget about everything and everyone, to have their minds focus
on themselves and no one else. In the life of a Sailor Scout, that
wasn't a luxury one could have very often. At least not often enough
to be called a regular ritual.

Then again, when you are a sailor scout, champion of justice,
protector of all against whatever evil forces might be plaguing the
world, nothing can be called regular. Who calls the 3:00 a.m. wake
up calls to go turn a monster into dust normal? Really, who could
say "me to, me to." Only the other scouts, but that was it.
Otherwise, they were alone in their league. Except for Tuxedo Mask,
but whose side was he on? She thought he was on their side, but she
couldn't trust anyone except for the scouts.

Her personal life was always put second, her job as a sailor scout
was always put first. Everything in her life and everything about her
was put behind the importance of the world. As a matter of fact, her
own life was put second in comparison to the value of world peace.
If it was needed, and if it could keep the evil Negaverse from
succeeding, she was expected to sacrifice her life without hesitance.
How's that for a part time job? This had caused a lot of frustrated
emotions to bottle up inside of her at one point in time. Now she was
simply use to the lack of sleep and the cuts and bruises she had
inflicted upon her. That was the only regularity in her life. All
tokens of being a sailor scout.

Still, there was never a moment that went by that she could actually
regret being a sailor scout. It wasn't that she was such a good person
she thought it was an amazing privilege to be a Sailor Scout. While
she did love the happiness she could restore back to people when she
saved them from an evil creature, that wasn't what kept her happy.
She couldn't regret it because that's how she met her best friends.

Her friends were the other four girls that made up the sailor scouts.
Together they fought and triumphed over evil. Through being sailor
scouts, they had been able to gain the best gift anyone could possibly
give their friend. They had been forced to establish trust in one
another early on, and never had to worry about it. It was a good
thing.

'Oh Kami, it really sounds so corny.'

Actually it was an indescribable thing to know that the people you
trusted and loved, trusted and loved you in return. As far as
friendships go, it was more than satisfying, it was perfect.

Being a Sailor Scout had absolutely nothing to do with the problem she
was facing. It surely would've happened if she had been just a
"regular" girl. Yeah, it definitely would've happened. To be completely truthful, the biggest problem facing this superheroine had nothing to
do with evil powers and everything to do with a two-word combination.
Raging hormones.

A tear fell from her deep blue eyes and rolled down her cheek. She
was fed up with them, that was all there was to it. All of them. The
only thing any of them had ever brought to her was heartache, pain,
and confusion. What's worse is that she had thought that they couldn't
hurt her anymore then they already had, they struck back with an even
harder blow. They ruin the self-esteem it took her forever to rebuild.
She was sure if she could have just one wish she would-

"Hey DWEEB," her younger brother called up, "suppers ready. Hey Dweeb-"

'Kami save me from the stupidity of the male race, if even just for
a minute,' she mentally begged.

The door swung open smacking her in the head while her brother poked
his head in through the door. He stuck his tongue out at her and
pulled his head out the door and slammed it in her face.

"God they're everywhere," she cried out in frustration. If she
didn't have to deal with enough of the male race during the day at
school, she had to face it when she got home to her younger brother.
Was it humanly possible for any person of the male gender to realize
what they were doing? Couldn't any of them see how they were killing
her? Probably not.

'Well, if they're so stupid they can't even figure out how stupid
they are, then there's no use in my worrying about their stupidness
anymore' she thought fiercely. 'That's what I'll do. From now on,
I'm done with all boys... from ages 10 to 20, I am completely, 100%
done with them all.'

With that thought, she wiped her eyes and smoothed her blonde hair out.
A smile came to her face as she realized that she was about to embark
on an "adventure." She, Serena, Sailor Moon was going to rid herself
of her boy crazy ways and live life (for the time being) single and
happy. Boys were okay to have as friends, but getting involved
farther then that was pointless and out of the question.

Her grin faltered when she thought of the oh so sexy and
breathtakingly handsome Tuxedo Mask who was the center of all her
fantasies. How was she going to live up to her plan? He came around
and saved her all the time. Then again, he never hung around long
enough to ensure that she and her friends were all right. Kami, he
was such a man! Never mind him, she would just have to deal with him
the same way she was prepared to deal with all the other species of
the male race. She just wasn't going to. Boys... who needs them?
