Disclaimer: I do not own sailor moon-which
sucks big time!!!

I hope you like it! I really tried to make it
original-ish. I want to say a big HI! To Marsipan
and the rest of the gang who keep me laughing! A big thanks
to VO1 without whom I wouldn't have the guts to actually write
this:)


Sooooooooooo without further ado (drum roll
please) the prologue to a little story I call,

'Hello'!



I think it'll end up being PG13-ish to R-ish
due to language and intensity but this is
probably just PG. K? K on with the story.

THE TSUKINO RESIDENCE, LOS ANGELES,

CALIFORNIA, USA- JUNE 2000


"Serena! You got a letter - it's from *them*!"


"Coming Mom!"


What sounded like a herd of stampeding
elephants thundered down the hall, and an 18
year old, blonde popped up besides her
mother's elbow, startling the poor women and
turning a few more hairs gray.

"Whoa! You don't usually move that fast unless
there's pancakes up for grabs! Actually,
scratch that, if there's any food up for
grabs!" her brother cackled.


Serena turned to her younger brother of 11 and
in an unexpected calm, way, which shocked both
her mother and brother said


"Sammy, if this letter wasn't so important, and
if I could be bothered I would probably kick
your butt right now but, considering the
crucial circumstances, I will let you live!"



She then smiled pure saccharine at her brother,
who just shook his head and walked away
mumbling something along the lines of


"Like she could kick my butt, stupid drama
queen!"


Irene just laughed at her children's antics and
handed her daughter the much-anticipated letter. On the front of the
envelope was printed:

'Tokyo University, Tokyo, Japan'.


Serena took a deep breath and slowly tore open
the envelope that literally contained her
future. Inside the letter read:

'Dear Miss Tsukino,


We are pleased to inform you of your acceptance
into Tokyo University where you will be taking
the courses:


-Japanese language and cultural studies

-Performing Arts


We look forward to seeing you at the beginning
of January 2001. Please do not hesitate to
contact the University for any information you
may require.


She skipped over the information about
financial aid, tuition, application for
student visas, etc., and ended with:



Your Sincerely

Morton Kito


Dean of Admissions



All through out the Tsukino household and
indeed through out California, squeals of
delight were heard from a little blonde,
odango-haired girl, whose appearance made it
hard to believe she could produce such a sonic
boom.

LAX (LA Airport)


"Now, have you got your passport?"

"Yes Dad"

"Money?"

"Yes Dad"

"Good. Now, make sure you don't speak to any
strangers"

"Dad?"

"And no drinking young lady!"

"Dad?"

"And I can't stress this enough NO BOYS!! I
don't want my little girl getting pregnant
before she's out of education, settled, and at
least until she's 40!"

"Dad, there won't BE any boys there, maybe MEN,
but no boys, and I can assure you I will only
sleep with guys who have a lot of money and
that I have at least spoken to!"

"WHAT!!!!"

"SERENA!!!"

"What? I was only joking.........Dad?"


Ken Tsukino was turning so many different
shades of red, his head could have burst into
flames.


"NO BOY WILL EVER TOUCH MY LITTLE GIRL!!"

"You've really done it now Serena!"

"Shut-up Sammy. Dad?...DAD?... DAD I was only
joking! Calm down will ya!"


This happy, emotional moment of chaos in the
Tsukino family was momentarily interrupted by
the sound of the loud speaker announcing that
the flight to Tokyo International was now
boarding.

Serena turned to her family, the past moments
forgotten by all, with tears of both sadness
and excitement in her eyes.

"Now, you have got everything haven't you
dear?"

"Yes Mum"

"Make sure you phone as soon as you get there"

"Yes Mum"

"Be careful I..."

"Mum, you're starting to sound like Dad"


Irene laughed and hugged her daughter tightly
with tears in her eyes-Serena returning it
with as much love.


"It's only because we love you dear"


"I know mum, I love you too"


She gave her Dad a big bear hug and reassured
him that she would be fine. She then turned to
her younger brother who was desperately trying
to be the man of the family and NOT cry. She
bent down and gave him the biggest hug


"I'm gonna miss you brat"

"I'm gonna miss you too...." Came his mumbled
voice

"meatball head!"

"HEY!! I cut those off 3 months ago you can't
call me that anymore!"


It was true, she wanted to make a change in her
appearance in order to balance the big change
in her life, plus she didn't want people over
in Japan laughing at her hair, and even worse,
she wouldn't know what they were saying!
Serena looked at her brother and both burst out
laughing at their sibling antics. She gave
each of them another bear hug, did one last
check and walked onto the plane and into one
of the biggest changes of her life- and boy,
what a big change it would be-bigger than she
could ever have imagined!
