First Day: Life & Battle:
When the three entered the classroom, they found Makoto already waiting for them. They barely finished exchanging greetings when a new girl entered the classroom with a bounce in her step.
"Ohayo!" she called out cheerfully. To which everyone responded with greetings of his or her own. Her skin was slightly tanned, but that wasn't the only thing exotic about her. She wore multiple bangles of gold around her wrists as large golden hoops peeked out from under her long dark hair. The heavy brushes of make-up accented her American face. Yet despite the load, she looked light, carefree, and contained an appealing air.
"He looks just like my old boyfriend!" Makoto shouted as a second student entered behind the new girl. Minako quickly switched her attention to Makoto's new love interest. Minako flushed, because this guy was as hot as the girl was beautiful. His hair was a gorgeous light gold and his crisp blue eyes hid behind darkly colored glasses, which added to the 'tall, dark, and mysterious' quality of his entire persona.
Ami giggled at her two, or three if one wishes to include Usagi, love-struck friends as another student quietly slipped past the gathering crowd virtually unnoticed. Ami had vaguely noticed the homely girl, who sat herself in the back near the window and buried her face in a propped up book. But a squeal from Usagi, who managed to attract the boy's eye, drew Ami's attention away from the pale girl.

"Mind if we join you?" Angela stood just outside the circle, smiling as warmly as the sun above them. Jeff stood behind her, carrying their lunch.
"No, of course not!" Usagi quickly answered.
"Did you two know each other before you transferred here?" Minako asked suspiciously as the two sat down next to each other.
"We were just close friends," Jeff said nonchalantly as he leaned on a nearby tree.
"They look a bit more cozy than that," Makoto muttered, to which Minako nodded.
"Where are you from?" Usagi piped up again, swallowing her mouthful.
"Sunny So. Cal!" Angela said excitedly.
"Nani?" the others asked confusedly.
"Southern California, in the U.S.," Jeff explained, expertly passing food to Angela with his chopsticks.
"Wow," Ami awed in surprise, "you're pretty good with speaking Japanese."
"Thank you! I just started to learn this summer!" Angela responded in her usual cheery manner.
Minako was lying in the grass, feeling defeated. It was then she noticed a girl sitting in the shadows of the tree, her head bent slightly over her frail chest. Her posture was mirrored by Jeff who sat on the nearer side, his hair shimmering in the brilliance of the sun. Minako was swept over by a feeling of a déjà vu.
Minako felt soft silk on her body as she saw the two sitting the same way like a set of bookends. The girl wore an elegant white dress, her hair pulled up out of her delicate face to reveal blue eyes as the boy wore a light suit of armor, his arm draped leisurely over his sword. But the image quickly grew vague and disappearing.
"You two should make up…" she heard her voice echoed vaguely in her mind.
Minako blinked as if awakening from a dream. As she tried to grasp at what she dreamt, she recalled the Silver Millennium, Jeff, and a princess… a dark haired one, but certainly not Rei. Minako saw movement out of the corner of her eye and turned to catch Angela laying her head on Jeff's shoulder. Angela… Minako quickly noted to her self, Angela and Jeff and the Silver Millennium as she watched with curiosity as she suppressed her disappointment and jealousy.

Aiteru jerked up suddenly, her tired body screaming at her sudden movement. She had nearly fallen asleep when the wave of familiar memories washed over her soul. She peered around her tree to see a beautiful blonde, with a distant look to her blue eyes, who slipped a heart shaped crystal into her pocket.
Aiteru then felt a 'blip' of intoxicating fear coming directly from behind the tree. She stood slowly and inched her upper body around it to see where the fear had originated. But all she caught sight of was a curtain dark hair when someone touched her hand.

The girl jumped when Ami touched her hand to attract her attention. Ami blinked in wonder as she instantly withdrew her hand.
"Yukishiro Aiteru, isn't it?" Makoto asked curiously, seeking confirmation, as Ami wondered why she felt that she touched a sheet of ice. The girl nodded, shrinking back into the shadows of the tree, her blue eyes fearful. After a pause, she turned and quickly walked away.
"That was weird," Makoto muttered.
"Maybe she's like Ami, who's already five chapters ahead, and is leaving to study some more!" Minako teased, winking at her friends.
"Really?" Jeff inquired, staring at Ami in pleasant disbelief.
Minako began to explain how smart Ami, who was turning pink from embarrassment, is. Angela half-listened, but she was busy worrying.
\@/ \@/ \@/ \@/ \@/
Students began rushed past her excitedly, giving their 'good-bye's as Angela began to walk home with Jeff. She was so terrified during lunch. She had seen a glazed look to Jeff's eyes that occurred whenever he thought about some imaginary girl that could have existed only in dreams. She couldn't bear to think of losing Jeff to someone else. She sadly looked at Jeff and sighed. Did he even understand how she felt about him? With a sigh, she decided that perhaps it was time to make her move…

"Three new students in one day!" Usagi said excitedly.
"They were interesting enough!" Makoto smiled cheerfully.
"Especially that boy!" Minako added causing the girls to blush.
"And that girl," Ami quietly added.
"You mean Angela-chan?" Usagi asked.
"No, the other one," Ami paused.
"What's-her-face?" Makoto mumbled aloud.
"Yukishiro-san, I think," Minako supplied.
"Yeah, her," Ami murmured. "Her hands were ice cold. Almost like-"
"SHINE! [1]" a hoarse voice interrupted as a creature lunged at Usagi, who let out a terrifying scream.
"Venus Crystal Power Make-up!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power Make-up!"
"Mercury Crystal Power Make-up!"
Sailor Venus quickly kicked the youma off Usagi as Jupiter prepared for her attack.
"Jupiter-"
"EOS PURGING LIGHT!" a melodic voice echoed as shots of pink light sprang from a source behind the Senshi. It solidified into some powder pink cloth-like material that wrapped tightly around the youma. The new Senshi, with hair in pigtails, stood upon a roof wearing a light blue and an identical shade of pink fuku, holding the pink sash tightly.
The monster howled and glowed a pink before it had burst on its own accord, showering everyone in dust. When the dust immediately cleared, a black crystal floated in the air where the youma last was. As the Senshi leapt from where she was, she grasped the crystal and slipped it away.
"I'm Sailor Dawning-Moon!" she mockingly flashed a Sailor Moon pose at the growing crowd. "I'll protect Tokyo from the demons of the night!" She winked, blew a kiss, then jumped into the high sun and disappeared. Usagi's friends immediately followed suit, to avoid being in the center of a public mob.
"It's NOT FAIR!" Usagi wailed in the midst of an excited crowd. "I'M THE ONLY SAILOR MOON AROUND HERE!"
\@/ \@/ \@/ \@/ \@/
"It's NOT FAIR!" Usagi wailed. "THERE'S ONLY ONE SAILOR MOON AROUND HERE!"
A shadowy outline of a female giggled, "It that Princess Serena?"
"Yes your highness. It is Princess Serena."
"Good," the first voice remained conniving. Her hands toyed with a small black crystal. "Soon we'll get what we want from her."
The second shadow bowed and followed the lady, who walked deeper in the shadows. Her hand ran through her long, beloved, dark hair.
[1] Shine means die. And there's a specific reason why the youma said "shine" and not some horrendous howl/scream/etc. I'm saying this 'cause it isn't so obvious. ^^; I want people to guess! I almost positive that one could figure out who's who if one tries extremely hard! [Sry, I like playing Sherlock Holmes! ^^;; Haha stupid me!]
Hehe… I see dead people! Oops, sorry, out of the blue! Anyway, new characters established! *Sighs in relief* Yes, I did the classic Mary Sue and Billy Bob on purpose! So please don't say anything about it, unless they're not perfect enough. And there's another 'mistake' I did on purpose! (Or two, if you want to count the switch between Usagi and Princess Serena.) New conceptions about the Sailor Senshi power thing, and new people, of which I shall try to keep to a minimum! (But you know there's never a bad guy in Sailor Moon that wants to fight all by his/her-self.) Tell me what you think! I want to know what I'm leading readers into believing! *grins maliciously* Any comments/criticism/flames are welcomed! ^^ I love people who care! ^_~
And to those who did review, thank you so much for your input, if you came back, I apologize for not updating for like 6 months. *nervous chuckle* I'm planning to update at least once every two days, so *shouting to the crowds*
