Serena woke up at six o'clock as her alarm blared in her ear. She smiled as she remembered the dreams she had dreamed.

She was once again Sailor Moon, and Darien was still her savior, Tuxedo Mask. They fought side-by-side in battles, moon dusting anything and everything that stood in their path to true love.

"If only he hadn't decided to go to the United States!" Serena said out loud. She then got up and went through her normal morning routine. She was through by six forty-five. Although she did not have to be at work until eight o'clock, and on somedays she did not even have to be at work, she always got up at six o'clock. Maybe she was just making up for all the mornings she had overslept when she was younger.

Serena started walking to work. Usually she would stay around home until seven thirty to edit the article she had written the night before, because it was only a short walk to work. This morning though she just did not want to read the article about the Sailor Scouts again. She decided that her desk at work could use a good cleaning.

She was halfway there when she heard someone scream shrilly.

"What was that?!" Serena asked out loud to no one. *Better check that out.* She said to herself.

Around the corner of an abandoned building she found the source of the scream; a woman who's energy was being drained by a horrible looking monster... a youma!

*I guess it's time for Sailor Moon to make a come back! Now... where'd I put that brooch?? Oh yeah!*

Serena reached her hand into her space pocket, which contained her brooch, her locket, her Disguise Pen, and her Moon Scepter.

"So good to see you again." Serena said to her brooch. "Now, let's see if this will work anymore. Moon Crystal Power!"

Serena felt the power flow through her as she became Sailor Moon. The second the transformation was done, she rounded the corner of the building and faced the youma.

"Hey! You! Leave that woman alone! I am Sailor Moon, and I am back!"

"Sailor Moon? Never heard of you, but I am going to kill you!" the youma said.

"I think not! I am stronger than ever before and although I don't have my friends to back me up, I can defeat you! I am Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice, and in the name of the moon, I will punish you!"

"Pretty speech, but the last one you will ever make!"

"Moon Tiara Magic!" Serena said in answer to that. Once the youma was stunned, she pulled out her scepter and said, "Moon Scepter Elimination!" The light flowed from the scepter, and killed the youma. "Moon dusted!"

"Thank you, Sailor Moon," the woman who had had her energy almost totally drained said.

"No problem. Now, I suggest that you go home and rest a bit, regain your energy." Without waiting for a reply from the woman, Sailor Moon leaped off to hide somewhere where she could detransform and go to work.

"Good work on your article, Serena."

"Thank you Mr. Edvenson."

It was a month later, and Serena was at her desk, that never did get clean, getting ready to head for home.

It had been a busy month. At least once every couple of days Sailor Moon had to kill a youma, and it was taking a lot of Serena's energy, since her friends were not there to help her weaken the youma so that she could use her scepter.

"Serena, could you do me a favor? I've got another article I want you to write."

*Better not be on the reappearance of Sailor Moon!*

"Sure Mr. Edvenson, what is it?"

"I want you to write on the reappearance of Sailor Moon."

*Drat!*

"Okay Mr. Edvenson. I'll do it. You'll have to article tomorrow morning."

"Thank you Serena! You'll get a raise for this!"

*That's what you said last time!*

"No problem Mr. Edvenson. I'll go home and work on it right now."

"Gezz, I really hate writing about myself!" Serena said out loud before she set down to write her article.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

About a month ago, I wrote an article asking where the Sailor Scouts were, and now, I'm here to tell you, they're back! Well, at least Sailor Moon is.

Why are they back?

*A new evil.*

Is there a new evil here to try to take over the world?

*Duh! And they will NOT succeed in taking over the world!

Why is there only Sailor Moon fighting?

*Because I don't want to disturb my friends.*

Where is Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus?

*Sailor Moon is letting them live their lives in peace.*

Where are these youmas coming from? Who's sending them?

*I wish I knew!*

Can Sailor Moon defeat the evil all by herself?

*I'm sure going to try!*

So many unanswered questions, so many mysteries. Well, maybe Sailor Moon can tell us the answer, whoever she is.

*Me!*

Serena sat back and reread what she had written.

"Too short. But I don't really care, I don't feel like writing anything else. I'm just too tired."

Serena went to bed, getting as much sleep as possible, trying to restore her energy.
