Dear diary,

I know that I haven't written in you for a while, I know, but Shingo tried to read you before so I had to hide you. And then I couldn't find you and then mom made me clean my room so that I could go to Naru's and I found you but I lost the key and I couldn't open you. And I thought that maybe Shingo had taken it, so I was really mean to him for a while, but then I remembered that I had hidden the key too, except in a better place. So I spent the rest of the time looking for the key and I ended up making my room even messier then it already was, so I didn't even get to go to Naru's and mom got mad. Anyway, I was going to read my manga, when I found my key in between the pages, but I had put you back, and I had forgotten where. So I put it in my pocket, and tore up my room looking for it, I mean you. So I forgot the key, and when mom did the laundry she found it in my pocket, and by that time I had found you so here I am.

You are never going to believe what happened to me. I don't think that I am supposed to tell anyone, even you, Luna says that no one can find out but I don't think that she can read. And even if she could, I am going to take good care of you this time and I will keep track of the key. Besides, I don't think that Luna can pick locks, and I won't even tell her about you.

I am Sailor Moon. Yep, it's true. It happened yesterday. I even got a talking cat with a bald spot who helps me and a mysterious tuxedoed hero who saved my life! He's so dreamy. I don't really like the fighting, but being a super heroine is very cool. It really stinks not being able to tell anyone, though. I really want to tell Naru, but Luna says that people could get hurt, or even me if ANYONE finds out. It seems really strange, when I think about it. I'll tell you what happened, just so that I remember it later - even if no one else gets to see it.

A couple days ago, I woke up late again, so I had to run out of the house. On the way to school, I ran into a cat. It had a bandage on her head, so I took it off. It was black. Gosh, I am really not good at writing. That's probably why I'm failing it at school, and everything else. But it's not my fault that Haruda is so mean! Anyway, the cat made me late. So, Haruda made me stand out in the hall, and since I was hungry, I figured what the heck and had some shrimp. Haruda caught me and yelled at me for my bad test scores. I hate English, it's so boring. Besides, it wasn't my fault that I got a 30 on that test - that manga was just too interesting. Haruda should really start quizzing us on manga, I'd ace all the tests! Umino (the weird geek) just had to come out and ask me about my quiz, he's so freaky - I bet he tells my parents about my scores. He was bragging about his 95 when Naru came out, and she made him go away. Besides, she got a 85. She's so nice, I wish we could trade lives.

At lunchtime (my favorite) we were talking about the jewelry store break-ins that had been happening. I'm so glad that Sailor V saved the day, but I was worried because Naru's mom owns a jewelry store, and they had just started a sale. We decided to go after school. It was really crowded, and Naru's mom was acting all weird. She was muttering to herself in the corner, it was really strange, Naru was happy though, it was their first-ever sale. One of the girls said that since she got a good test score her dad would get her some pretty jewelry. That made me think (weird, I know) since I had such an awful test score, they won't get me anything AND I won't get any allowance this month. I got so mad that I crumpled up my test paper and threw it behind me.

There was a guy standing behind me, he was kinda cute, but he looked like a dork wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses. He actually called me a lumphead, he insulted my odangos! He opened my test and made fun of my bad test score, then he called me an odango head! I absolutely hate him, even though I don't really know him! The nerve of that guy, wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses down the streets, he should just stay at home - away from me.

I decided to go to the arcade, you know, forget about the stupid test. Motoki came up, he's like an older brother to me since I hang out here so much - except he's really really cute. I sat down and was playing the new Sailor V game, when the bald spot kitty came up from behind me and surprised me, Motoki said that she had been spending the last few days in the arcade. That kind of freaked me out, I mean why would a cat want to send time in an arcade? So, I left and went home, Umino had been talking to mom again, and she made me show her my test scores, which made her mad so she kicked me out! I hate Umino! Shingo, came up behind me and kicked me and said that he wished that he had a smarter sister. I hate that stupid brat. I even had to kick the door open, well it didn't work well but mom ended up letting me in anyway. Dinner was really good, but I ended up with dad being super mad (he really didn't need to be that mean) so I had to read some manga to relax and before I knew it, it was bedtime and I hadn't done an homework. But it wasn't my fault!

The next day a bunch of my friends were collapsing because they were so tired, the weird thing was that they were all wearing stuff from Osa-P. other than that, school was very boring. I don't understand why we even have to go to school. Mom made me do homework when I got home, but I was so tired that I ended up taking a little nap. I had the best dream, I was Sailor V and I killed a whole bunch of monsters. I saw Motoki chained to a wall with the kitty, so I freed them both. It was so cool.

But then I woke up and the cat was right next to me. I said something about her bald spot, and she bit my head off. The cat can talk, how weird! She said that her name was Luna, (what a strange name for a cat). She also said something like, "You helped me by taking off that bandage. While it was on, I couldn't talk, and my detection ability didn't work well. The kids around here are real brats. I was troubled by their mischief. I'm glad I met you. If I didn't find you, I don't know what I would have done." It was really confusing. I thought it was a dream, but Luna said that it wasn't and she gave me a really pretty brooch. She said that I was some kind of special sailor-suited soldier who fought stuff that the police couldn't. It was really confusing. She said something about me getting allies and finding a princess, but I wasn't really paying attention and I didn't believe it. My brooch started to shine, and she said that I had to shout Moon then Prism power make-up. I turned into Sailormoon, the defender of Justice! I couldn't believe it! Then, one of the jewels in my hair started flashing and I could hear Naru's voice! She was in trouble! I could see her in my goggles! I didn't really understand, but Naru's mom was killing her!

Naru's mom wasn't really her mom, but a monster disguised as her mom. I ran in to save her! Except, I forgot my name. I guess I didn't sound too smart, but my dramatic entrance went well. I think that my speech was good, it went like: For love and justice, I am the sailor-suited pretty soldier! Sailor Moon! I think I'll keep it, not bad for the first try, eh? But, then a whole bunch of people from the street came in and they all wanted to kill me, I think that they were brainwashed because Sailormoon can't be that unlikable, I mean she is the defender of justice. I ended up scraping my knee on the ground, it really hurt - that's what convinced me that it wasn't all some weird dream. I didn't want to fight the monster so Luna yelled at me. All I wanted to do was go home, so I started crying I was so scared, and I sent off these supersonic waves that paralyzed the monster and the people. A man in a tuxedo told me not to cry, so I stopped because he was sooo cute. Then I took off my tiara and said some magic words and threw it at the monster. It sliced through the monster's neck and turned it into dust. It was so cool! The tuxedoed cutie said something about some crystal and then left. It think I might I have a chance with him, he was totally checking me out as he left. Luna told me that it was all some weird invasion but I was too busy staring at him to notice.

She made me leave and after we got home she gave me a really long and boring lecture about my duties as Sailormoon. But, she says that I have to do this forever, and that I can never ever tell anyone about me being Sailormoon. I'm kinda scared, I don't like fighting. I hope that I don't have to do this again.

Anyways, that's my big secret, you can't tell anyone. I just hope that Luna doesn't find out, she'd totally freak out and it wouldn't be good.

I have to go now,

Tsukino Usagi-chan

Usagi had just finished locking her diary when she saw Luna jump in her bedroom window. She scrambled to hide it, but unfortunately was noticed by the small cat. "Usagi, what are you doing?" She started to stutter, and she looked hastily at the pen that was still in her hands, "Umm, I was just -Doing my homework. Yeah, that's it I was doing my homework."

It was obvious that Luna didn't believe her when she started pawing around suspiciously. "Move your head."

*

When Usagi moved, the small cat reached her head under her pillow and pulled out a manga, Usagi breathed a sigh of relief. "So, you call this homework, do you? I'll soon whip you up in shape. The princess's guardian can't be a lazy slob." Luna caught Usagi's sparkling blue eyes with her own red ones, "I'm going to contact Central Control. I want you to do your homework, and I will be checking it when I come back. A soldier of justice must have good grades." She turned away from Usagi and moved towards the window, stopping to bat her buns playfully. But, she had work to do.

*

Usagi got up immediately after Luna had left, hiding the diary in a cabinet where she knew Luna couldn't find it. She then changed into her pink bunny pajamas and left to go downstairs. After all, growing girls needed their bedtime snacks.

Over at Central Control, Luna looked wearily at the screen. She hadn't slept well for a couple of weeks, and it was evident by the way the screen blurred beneath her eyes. After a few minutes, the small cat fell asleep with her head against the console. Subsequently, she never saw the warning sign on the monitor.
