NOTES: This story takes place when the scouts are in high school. I'm sure if I did this according to the manga or anime specifically, I would get a bunch of stuff wrong. Although I'm no Sailor Moon fanatic, I do pride myself in knowing a considerable amount. Anyway, I have my own setup. I will be using their english names because I prefer them. They're in high school, and Darien is on vacation in America, not living there. Okay?
LISTEN CAREFULLY SO YOU DON'T GET CONFUSED. According to this, Rini has lived in the future for a while, and then returned to serve Sailor Moon at the ripe age of sixteen. However, she is not a scout. She's a princess who was dubbed Lady Selene. I'll explain this partially in chapter 2, and I'll probable make a story to explain it. (Note: She lives with Bunny) When she transforms, she has a long white dress and a scepter that looks like this: Picture a golden crescent moon (The Moon Kingdom's symbol) and a huge white pearl in the center, and this whole hing on top of a ruby staff. I'll make a picture of her for the afore mentioned story. Her attacks are "Desert Rose Radiance" and "Aurora Luminescence".
Also, this story might get a little weird since its supposed to be about this new character, but it starts out focusing on Bunny since we don't know much about the other character yet. We'll see how it goes.
ONe more thing. Concerning the music she listens to, she likes what I like. I don't want to make it exactly like Sailor Moon. I mean hey, it's my story! I hope I don't get strange complaints.

Chapter One
Ripe sunlight peeked through the dusty shutters on the window. A long, slender form lay stretched out on an unmade bed with robins-egg and lavender sheets and comforterslying disheveled on a thick white mattress. The figure stirred, causing her long glolden locks to shift slightly. Her long-lashed eyelids were closed, and a dreamy smile played across her lips. She was enjoying the peace and comfort of her bed, completely oblivious to the irritated buzzing of the alarm clock on her nightstand.
Her peace was soon interrupted when a black lump landed heavily on her chest and screamed at her.
"Bunny! Come ON- you're late!" exclaimed her cat. The teenager's eyebrows knotted together and she moaned.
"Aww, Luna... lay off! I'm just getting a few extra minutes of sleep before school..." Bunny turned her back to the cat as she spoke slurredly. Luna sighed, knowing she was only falling into a deeper sleep. "You know," she continued in a drawling voice. "Energy. Strength. Gotta get that stuff, you know, and here you come yelling at me and interrupting my thorough process, do you even know how long it takes to get into this state, it takes concentration, you know that..."
"Bunny..." Luna growled, hanging onto her last nerve, "You have to be there in seven minutes. I guess I don't have to remind you that it's the first day of tenth grade..."
Bunny's eyes flew open, the sapphire irises wide with surprise. "Oh. No. Why didn't you wake me up earlier?!" she cried, jumping out of bed. Luna shook her head, marching primly out the door.
Exactly six minutes later, Bunny was jumping into her hot-pink new beetle, the present she had recieved for her seventeenth birthday three months before, and five seconds after that she was tearing down the street like noody's business with her two yellow pigtails trailing behind her.
As soon as she was at a reasonable pace, Bunny glanced at the clock. She yelled out in surprise and slammed on the brakes in the (thankfully) empty suburban road. She had fifteen minutes before first period started!
"That little rat!" she cried angrily. "I could still be asleep!" However, Bunny dismissed it with an annoyed wave of her hand and set out a slightly slower pace. She turned on the radio and noticed with a smile that the station was playing her favorite Creed song. She turned up the volume to the maximum and drove, absentmindedly yelling the lyrics. She didn't even notice when another teenager drove up in a skyblue Echo, also with golden locks waving freely in the wind, restrained only by a scarlet bandana perched on her head.
Mina sat and watched, occasionally glancing at the road, but nonetheless laughing maniacally at the sight before her, remaining unnoticed by the other girl. She brought up her fist and punched the center of the wheel, which emitted a loud beep. When Bunny didn't notice, Mina irritably pummeled the horn until Bunny glanced her way, who started in shock. She promptly switched off the music and glanced sheepishly at ther friend.
"How long have you been there?" Bunny demanded, feeling embarassed.
"Only a minute," responded her friend as her body shook with laughter. "Geez, Bunny, you airhead! You wouldn't have noticed if I had smashed headlong into your car!"
The two girls started talking over the hum of their two cars about the day before them.
"Ooh, I can't wait 'till History! I heard Ms. Taikono was really mean, though," worried Bunny thoughtfully.
"Really? Amy said she was 'positively wonderful'," said Mina, playfully imitating their blue-haired friend in a high-pitched voice.
"Well, Amy thinks that of all teachers," responded Bunny, laughing. For the next few minutes, the two teenagers talked about teenager-crap until their high school came into view.
"Well, Bun," said Mina as the two girls parked their cars. "I guess I'll see you in passing. Have a good first-period!" Bunny bid her friend goodbye as she headed to her homeroom. When she got there, she was greeted by a tall girl with auburn hair pulled into a ponytail and a black sleeveless top paired with a green skirt, perfectly matched with her trademark rosebud earrings.
"Lita!" cried Bunny, pulling the reddening Sailor Jupiter into a hug. "I didn't know you were in this class! Wicked, I got Lita in homeroom!" she exalted.
Just then the first bell pealed out, signaling the start of their class. Students started pouring into the room and taking their seats according to the seating chart on the board. As soon as order was restored, the teacher introduced herself as Ms. Whiteberry.
"Also, class," she added. "We have one new student. Tara, if you could introduce yourself...?" she gestured toward a quivering girl near the back. She slowly stood and approached the teacher. Bunny inspected her curiously. Mouse brown hair, brown eyes, glasses... she thought, nonplussed. I wonder what she's like...
When Tara reached the front of the class, she cleared her throat and spoke softly. "My name is Tara Leana," she said, "And I came to Juuban High from California, where I tutored American students in the Japanese language. I am happy to be back in Tokyo," she finished, with a small smile. She bowed and returned to her seat.
"Could I have a volunteer to show her around at lunch?" asked the teacher. Bunny's hand flew into the air. She loved meeting new people. "Okay, Bunny," Ms. Whiteberry pointed at the blonde teenager, who turned around in her seat and grinned at Tara, who sheepishly smiled back.
At lunch, Bunny was true to her word and met Tara in the office, as the agreement said.
"Hi," she said cheerily, sticking out her hand. Tara took it, tentatively.
"Hi. Nice to meet you... um..."
"Bunny," Bunny supplied, not offended in the slightest. "Well, lets be off! Lunch is only twenty minutes, after all."
The two girls walked around the school and soon got to know each other. Tara turned out to be very nice and very smart. She was, as Bunny was, interested in the moon. Tara found herself telling Bunny all about herself and her activities in California. By the time the bell rang, they were great friends.
"Wanna come over later this week?" offered Bunny, taking out a piece of paper and hastily copying her number.
"Sure, Bunny!" smiled Tara, no longer shy in the slightest. "Cool," she said, taking the paper. "I'll call you after school. say, what's your next class?"
