::Chapter 1:: Stage on! The New Kids

"CHIBIUSA-CHAN!!! You're going to be late!!!" The queen's voice shook the

palace, letting all of it's inhabitants know that the queen was not pleased. All stood either looking up in curiosity, or looking down in annoyance. All but a certain pink-haired girl who was sprinting through the halls, running like there was no tomorrow. Ever since she started junior high, she had been having trouble getting up on time.

"No! Can't be late! Not today!" Chibiusa ran all the away to school, stopping

only when she reached her homeroom. "I'm not late, Adachi-sensei! I was here all

along!" The woman who sat behind the desk looked up at Chibiusa through her lime-green bangs.

"You're lucky, Tsukino-san, but keep working on it," she said in her soft, light

voice. She closed her book. "Alright, class, we have a new student! Well two new

students?quot; Chibiusa looked up in interest at the two girls who stood at the front of the room. The taller of the two had glasses and jet-black hair that was tied up in an unusual bun. More unusual was the fact that this girl, was wearing the boys' uniform. The other girl had a small frame, and although they were masked by her long silver bangs, Chibiusa could see the girl's two brilliant green eyes looking directly at her. "This is Masami," Adachi-sensei continued, regarding the raven-haired girl, "and this is Aya" she pointed to the silver-haired girl. Adachi-sensei looked closely at their names and noticed how neither one had left a last name. The two new students took their seats, while Chibiusa eyed them carefully. As she did so, a dirty-blonde-haired girl leaned forward in her seat and spoke softly to her.

"Nee, Usagi-chan, why is that girl wearing the boys' school uniform?"

"I don't know Mika?quot;

**After School**

Mika hopped along merrily with one arm on Aya's shoulder.

"Hey! Usagi-chan! Have you met Aya?" Chibiusa stared at her friend, then shook her head.

"Aya-san, please excuse Mika, she has no short term memory." Mika and Chibiusa had been assigned the job of showing Aya around town. She had protested, but Adachi-sensei had said it help them get to know each other better. Chibiusa looked at the pavement. "So?Aya.. are you from out of town?" Aya looked up, apparently startled.

"Oh yeah! Way out of town!" she forced a smile. 'Please no more questions. Please no more questions.' Chibiusa quickly disregarded the look of discomfort on her face.

"So, are you and Masami related?"

"No." 'Shoot! Why'd I say that!?'

"You're not?!"

"No.. she came with us."

"Us?"

Aya grumbled. What was up with this girl? "Me, my older brother, and Nanami- san."

"Oh.." Chibiusa could sense the annoyance in Aya's voice. That's when Mika chimed in.

"Is your brother hot???"

"Mika!"

"Unfortunately.."

"Yay!"

"Oh, brother?quot;

'**Hikawa Shrine**

Rei eyed Chibiusa carefully. "So they're transfer students. From where?"

"I don't know," the girl replied, "Aya-chan did seem kind of nervous when I asked, but that's nothing to get suspicious about, Rei-san."

"Chibiusa-chan, I'm afraid we must be cautious these days," Rei spoke again setting her tea on the table in front of her, " If you would recall, there was a huge meteor shower a couple days ago, and a few of them landed quite close by."

"What?! Is that what you're so worried about?!" Rei nodded.

**A week later**

"Masa-chaaaaan!!!!!" Masami looked up to see her genki pink-haired classmate bouncing toward her. "Hey, Masa-chan! Do you want to go to the arcade?" Masami smiled.

"Sure. I'll race you there."

"What?! No fair!" Chibiusa whined. The two raced to the arcade, only to find that it was under construction. Chibiusa whined again. "Aw, man.."

"Rats" Masami added and continued to tie her long dark hair back into a pony tail. (It fell down while she was running.) Chibiusa smiled.

"Well then, let's go to my house!"

"Okay!"

**a few minutes later**

"Uh?Usagi-chan?"

"Yes?"

"You LIVE here?!"

"Yeah, come on!" Chibiusa grabbed the arm of her friend and dragged her into the crystal palace.

"Mommy!! MomMIEE!!!" The queen trudged into the hallway to face her

daughter.

"What IS it, Chibiusa-chan?"

"I want you to meet someone!"

"For Kami-sama's sake, Chibiusa, how many times have I told you not to come

barging in-" her eyes widened when she saw the girl standing next to Chibiusa.

"This is Masa-chan, she just moved here."

"Hello, Ma.. Masa-chan.."

"Chibiusa-chan, Minako-chan and the others are coming over later for-"

"I know I know!" Then, another bright idea popped into her head. "Can Masa-

chan stay for it?"

"No!"

"Pwease?" Cibiusa counter-attacked with the cutest puppy dog eyes she could manage.

"Oh fine?quot;

**later that day**

The palace was all decorated for Chibiusa. Today was the day her training ended, and she finally became the official senshi of the moon.

"And so I present you, Princess Usagi Lady Serenity, with this emeblem."

"Thank you mommy, minna!" she turned to Masami who was looking a little dazed. "Isn't this cool Masa-chan?" Of no one (including Masami) knew that Chibiusa was a sailor senshi. Rei suddenly spoke up.

"The time.. to use this knew found power?is now.." Rei's voice was cut off by an explosion coming from the other end of the palace. She looked up at Chibiusa. "It seems someone wishes to test your knew abilities." Chibiusa nodded and clutched her henshin brooch. Everyone was so wrapped up in looking for the source of the explosion, that no one noticed Masami slip into the shadows.

"Moon Crystal Power! Make-UP!" There was a blinding flash of light and then, standing there, was the new soldier of the moon. Her outfit hadn't changed much, except now, she had super moon's sleeves, and chibi moon's outfit. Somewhere outside a tall woman with lavender/silver hair and two giant violet butterfly wings on her back stood laughing.

"Come out and fight me, you pitiful Sailor Senshi!"

"You talkin' to me?" The woman turned around and saw Neo Sailormoon. "I don't know who you are or what you want, but you just did something bad! And I will stop you!" Silence... Everyone sweatdropped...

The strange woman smirked, " Ah, so you must be the legendary desert senshi."

"Huh? Uh.. No I'm Neo Sailormoon..."

"Well then, no matter, she will surely appear to me if another senshi is in danger." Then she thrust her arm into the air. "Mariposa Sonic Wave!!" A giant lavender beam of energy collided with the pink-haired moon senshi, and she let out a cry of pain, surprised by the amount of power the blast contained. Her mind waws screaming 'Somebody please help me!!' Then from out of nowhere,

"Multi-Star Meteor Shower!!!" Everyone looked up at the source of the voice; a shadowy figure with brilliant sapphire eyes and a long dark ponytail..

To Be Continued...

*gasp* dun dun dun...

Well, what do you think so far?
