The alarm clock began to beep. Ten year old Diane Kitahoshi opened her eyes to reveal eyes the color ice blue. Her hair that went just below her shoulders was white. "Day are you up yet?" her mother called from downstairs. Day was Diane's nickname. "Yeh, mom I'm up." She yelled back. Day looked at her new uniform that was lying on the chair next to her desk. She was very proud of it. It had been very hard to get into TA Girls Academy. Day quickly put the uniform on and went down to breakfast."It looks good on you." Her mom approved, referring to the uniform. She handed Dai a plate of pancakes then looked up at the clock. "You've got ten minutes to eat." Mrs. Kitahoshi told her daughter, "Then you have to get out of here! I think you want to be early on your first day of school!" "I do." Day said swallowing a bit of pancake, "I'm just a little nervous. I hope people accept me." "This is a private school!" Her mother said, "People making fun of other people because they look different is frowned upon." "But Japanese people have never seen Japanese kids with natural white hair!" Day said. "We've got albinos." Mrs. Kitahoshi said. "But Albinos have red eyes! I've got blue eyes! So I'm not an albino!" "It's time for you to go to school." Her mother said looking at the clock.
Independence Martin hurried to her new school. She was going to be late on the first day of school! Independence and her parents had just moved to Japan a week ago. Independence was fifteen and in ninth grade. She had been enrolled in the new private school, St. Christian's Academy. It sounded like a religious school but it really wasn't. Independent's white and red hair fell around her as she abruptly stopped at a corner. Independence hated her name. She thought it was too long. Instead she called herself, Lily. Lily hurried on towards the large building she had just identified as St. Christian's Academy.
Day groaned as she looked down at her spilled pencil case right outside the door to TA Girls Academy. She kneeled over and started to put her pencils and pens back where they belonged. Suddenly something very heavy fell on top of her, making Day fall on top of her pencils. "I'm so sorry!" a girl's voice said, "I didn't see you kneeling over!" "That's all right." Day said looking at the girl who had tripped over her. "You're a new face in school." The girl said, "Is this your first year here?" "Yes." Day replied, picking up the rest of her pencils, "I'm Dian Kitahoshi, but everyone calls me Day." "I'm Ray Hino." The girl said smiling, "I'm in ninth grade, how about you?" "Sixth, but I'm taking some ninth grade courses." Day replied. "Cool!" Ray exclaimed, "Maybe we'll be in some classes together."
Day looked up from her backpack in surprise. "Are you saying we could be friends?" she asked. "Of course, why couldn't we?" Ray asked somewhat annoyed. "Well, in my old school no one would be friends with me or even talk to me because I looked different." Day explained. "What's wrong with white hair?" Ray asked, "I know a girl that that has pink hair!" "But it's dyed, isn't it?" Day asked. "Yes, but isn't yours?" Ray said. "No." came the reply. "Well maybe you're an albino." Ray suggested. "I'm not." Day said, "Albino's have red eyes, mine are blue." "Maybe you're just special." Ray said, "Everyone's special one way or another." "I guess so." Day said walking into the school.
Luna walked out from behind a bush. "There's something interesting about her." She said jumping into Ray's arms.
On the same morning three cats assembled in an ally. "So She sent us to find out mistresses." The first cat said. He was completely black. "But I didn't have a mistress!" the second one said annoyed. She was white. "Aminta, you're to find the protected one." The third said, "She will be your mistress." This cat had a reddish brown coat. "But mother, we don't know who she is!" "And we don't know our mistresses either, Aminta." The first one said calmly. "Listen to your father." The third cat said getting annoyed, "He knows where to start looking." "Espe, calm down." The first cat said walking to the third. "Of course, Salem." Espe said.
Ginhoshi Yoshayama walked down the street to Crown Fruit Parlor while looking at some pictures she had just gotten developed. She was 15. She had green eyes. Her hair was green and red. Ginhoshi looked at the clock above the parlor it read 12:20 PM. The photos that Ginhoshi held in her hands were pictures of the Sailor Scouts. She had been lucky enough to be there with a camera when they appeared. She looked back down at the pictures and sighed. All of them had come out blurry. "Probably some aura around them to protect their identity." Ginhoshi said to herself. She was a big fan of the Sailor Scouts. Her walls were plastered with illustrated pictures of all of them. Ginhoshi had hoped that she could be the first one to take pictures of the scouts but now she knew why she could never find any."Hey kid why aren't you in school?" a man asked. "I'm home schooled." Ginhoshi replied, "I'm already out of class." Ginhoshi rolled her eyes and continued on her way to the parlor. She was always getting that question. People were suspicious of young women who weren't in school.She took a short cut she knew through an ally. She passed three homeless cats on the way through. Still looking at the cats, she bumped into someone. "Oh, sorry sir." She said quickly. The man chuckled. The sound made shivers run down her back. "You must be one of the Star Children." He said reaching out for her. She jumped back. "Must be from the North East Star Kingdom judging that hair." "Sir I don't know what you're talking about." She said sounding scared. "Of course you do." The man hissed, "You're the princess of one of the Star Kingdoms and you know it!"
At these words one of the three cats pricked up its ears. It was Espe. She grabbed what looked like a candy cane from a pile of items next to her and sprinted to the girl. "Child!" she said urgently. Ginhoshi screamed. "You talk!" she exclaimed. "And so do the other two." Espe said, "Take this from me and yell, 'December Season Power'. There's no way you can fight without that."
In one fluid motion Ginhoshi took the stick and jumped away from an attack. "DECEMBER SEASON POWER!" she yelled. In a flash of red and green light and a few ribbons Ginhoshi stood, standing in a green and red sailor fuku. "I was right!" the man said, "You're the protector of the North West Star Kingdom!" "Now say 'Christmas Holly Blizzard'!" Espe instructed. "CHRISTMAS HOLLY BLIZZARD!" Ginhoshi yelled. Two large metal holly leaves appeared in her hand. One by one Ginhoshi threw them at the man. They didn't just hit him, they went right through him and each time this happened he screamed. And each time a leaf finished making a hole it would return to her hand. Finally the man dropped to the ground.
"Congratulations Sailor Christmas!" Espe said calmly. "That was cool!" Aminta exclaimed. "So who am I exactly?" Ginhoshi asked looking down on her fuku. "You are a Star Sailor Scout." Espe said, "There are twelve of you. Your job is to protect the princess of the North Star Kingdom. But before that we of course have to find the North Star Princess." "So I'm a Sailor Scout?" Ginhoshi asked. "From now on I'll always be with you to help on your quest." the cat said. "How?" Ginhoshi asked. "Easy." Espe replied, "Bring me home as a pet." "What about the other two?" Ginhoshi asked. "They can take care of themselves." Espe said. "And one more question." Ginhoshi put in. "Go on." The cat prompted. "How do I turn back into myself?" Espe smiled and replied, "Simply wish yourself back to your original form.
"My mom's out of town for the week so no one will bust in on us. Would you explain to me again what the Twelve Star Kingdoms are?" Ginhoshi said sipping her tea. Espe was situated on the floor with a bowl of milk. "Well a thousand years ago there were two major groups of kingdoms." Espe started, "The biggest was the Solar Aliance which consisted of the planets that you would call your Solar System today. The second group of kingdoms were the Star Kingdoms. There was the North Star Kingdom, the North North East Star Kingdom, The North East Star Kingdom, the East Star Kingdom, and well you get my point. Now the Star Kingdoms didn't just go by their star names. They also went by their month that they represented. And the last name was given to them for an important holiday celebrated in that month. Take you for example. You are Sailor Christmas, former princess of the North West Star Kingdom. It's also recognized as the December Kingdom and the Christmas Kingdom."
"OK. I get it." Ginhoshi said, "So the next scout in line would be Sailor New Year?" "No." Espe replied, "There's no scout for the North Kingdom." "Oh." Ginhoshi said, "Well it's getting late. I've got to get to bed. See you in the morning Espe." "Alright." Espe said, "I'll just curl up on the couch."
The clock chimed midnight as a black cloaked figure hurried down the streets of Juuban. Quickly she turned into an alley and kneeled down next to a man. "Captain Adolph!" she said shaking him gently. He opened his eyes. "Milady." He said weakly, "I saw one of them today. It was the North West one." "Christmas? Is that who gave you these wounds?" the lady questioned, opening a jar of ointment and spreading it on them. "Yes." Adolph replied, "Didn't know who she was until a cat gave her a transformation stick and told her what to do." "Good." The lady said, "She's still green. Did you see any of the others with her? The princess?" "No." he replied. The woman put the jar away. "I want you to find that Season Senshi again and weed her out! Do you understand?" she asked. "Yes Lady Adrian." In a flash of grayish light she disappeared.
Ginhoshi yawned as she poured a bowl of milk for Espe. "Why'd we leave the Star Kingdoms?" she asked putting the dish on the floor. "Someone attacked and defeated all twelve Kingdoms in less than five and a half hours." Espe informed her. "Who?" the new scout asked pouring some cereal into a bowl. "No one knows." The cat said.
After breakfast Ginhoshi walked into her bedroom. Espe followed. "Why do you have drawing of the Sailor Scouts all over your walls?" the cat asked. "I'm fascinated by them." Ginhoshi replied, "My greatest dream is to meet them. Well at least one." "Maybe you should." Espe said. Ginhoshi looked down at her surprised. "Why?" she asked. "Well they seem like fine roll models and they've been around for what? Two years? They'll have plenty of fighting experience. They could give you some tips." "We probably won't find them." Ginhoshi said sadly, "It's been pretty quiet lately."
"Do you consider what attacked you quiet?" Espe demanded. "It wasn't a thing it was a man." The girl said. "He was no human." Espe replied, "He was after you and you know it." "Well it didn't attract the Sailor Scouts now, did it?" Ginhoshi snapped.
Later that day Minako, Usagi, Makato, Ami, Mamoru, and Rei were lounging about at the Crown Arcade. Minako and Usagi were playing video games, Makato and Mamoru were arm wrestling, Rei was reading a book, and Ami was typing on her hand held computer."Hey guys." Ami said motioning the others closer, "There was some unusual activity yesterday afternoon. It seemed like some sort of youma appeared. Then there's a very large energy spike, like one of us transforming, an even bigger one like one of us attacking it. And then it faded. Did anyone do any fighting and forget to tell us about it?" "Not me." Usagi said, "I took a nap all afternoon." "It couldn't have been me or Rei or Makato because we were practicing our attacks. Minako said. "I can't attack anything so it wasn't me." Mamoru said. "And it wasn't me either." Ami said. "Did Chibiusa mention anything about having a sister?" Minako asked Usagi. "No." she replied
"Well it seems that the peace is over so everyone watch out!" Rei warned. "We will." Makato said.
Captain Adolph preyed to his lady. "Give me the Four Fighters of Destruction." He commanded. Four small crystal balls floated down into his hands. "Break one and one of the fighters will come out." Said a ghostly voice. "Yes. Milady." Adolph said bowing. "Now get rid of Christmas!" the voice said, "See if she knows about the princess!"
"Are you sure you've finished your studies? It's only one o'clock!" Espe said looking around the park. "Yes, I'm done." Ginhoshi said sitting down on a bench, "And anyway the park is so nice around this time. There's barely any people." "Espe, they probably go to school." She said, "There's no reason to look for them before 3 o'clock at least." "I suppose you're right." Espe said, "And it is nice here. I think I'll take a nap."Espe went immediately to sleep. Ginhoshi smiled and closed her own eyes, letting the sun stream down on her. No one noticed the two girls in the brush. "So what exactly are we looking for, Ami?" Minako asked. "Red fuzzy caterpillars." Ami told her, "No, don't use the magnifying glass. If you do find one that way you're just going to nuke him!" "Sorry." Minako said sheepishly. She got up from where she had been sitting and looked into the main part of the park. "There's a girl there." She said, "She's about our age. Do you think she's skipping school?" "I hope not." Ami said plucking a caterpillar into a box, "She's probably new and starting tomorrow or something." "Maybe." Minako agreed. "Well I collected a few from here let's move on." Ami said walking away. Minako followed.
Ginhoshi took the candy cane shaped transformation stick out of her bag. It was really pretty. She reckoned that that the red part of the stick was made up by many tiny rubies. Espe lifted an eyelid. "Are you wondering what that's made out of?" she asked, "The red part is made out of Blood Stone, native to the South Star Kingdom. And the white part is made out of mother of pearl." "It's pretty." Ginhoshi said.
"It is isn't it, Sailor Christmas?" Adolph asked walking into the clearing. "Not you again!" Ginhoshi said jumping up. "DECEMBER SEASON POWER!" she yelled. Sailor Christmas appeared. "I'm not alone today!" Adolph said smiling wickedly. He took out a crystal ball and smashed it on the ground. "Hunger! Defeat this child!" Adolph demanded. A creature rose from the broken shards. It looked like a human but not fully. Each bone could be seen outlined under thin skin. It was skimpily clad in a few rags.
"I'll get you!" Hunger said walking towards Christmas. Ginhoshi was horrified. Was this what starving people looked like? "CHRISTMAS HOLLY BLIZZARD!" she yelled. Christmas threw one of the holly leaves at Hunger. As it had done to the man the day before, it went right through and came back. This didn't stop Hunger. It continued to advance on her. "Oh great what am I going to do?" she asked Espe, "Do I have any other attacks I could try?" "No!" Espe replied, "Just try it again." Sailor Christmas threw the second holly leaf. It mad a second hole in Hunger but it continued to advance.
"Did you hear someone yelling?" Minako asked, holding a caterpillar. "Yeah, I did." Ami agreed taking the caterpillar from her and putting it in the box, "I think we should check it out." Quietly the two walked towards the clearing. "That girl's gone." Minako noted. "I think that thing scared her away!" Ami said pointing to Hunger. "Who's the girl dressed like a Sailor Scout?" Minako asked frowning. "I don't know, but she's having a hard time." Ami said pulling out her transformation pen, "Let's help her."
Ginhoshi had been retreating ever since the second attempt of attack on Hunger. Nothing had worked. It was clear that Hunger didn't need its heart to live. "CHRISTMAS HOLLY BLIZZARD!" she yelled again, resummoning the two leaves. Christmas put both leaves together and threw them at the same time. This time they knocked off Hunger's head. It stopped. Ginhoshi quit retreating and sighed in relief and closed her eyes.
"Sailor Christmas watch out!" Espe yelled. Quickly she opened her eyes again to see Hunger continue to come closer to her even without its head. Christmas gasped and jumped back, but it was too late. Hunger had touched her. Ginhoshi's stomach exploded with pain. She could practically feel the pounds coming off. Just that one touch was beyond pain. Christmas fell to the ground in pain and weakness. Then she fainted.
"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" a voice yelled. This attack worked. Hunger was blown to smithereens. "Did you get him?" Sailor Mercury asked walking out of the underbrush. "I think so." Venus said also stepping out, "Did you call the others?" "No." the blue haired girl replied.
The two walked over to Christmas. Mercury checked her pulse. "She's still alive." She said, "Have you ever seen a fuku with those colors?" "No." Venus replied, "Sort of reminds me of Christmas though." "You don't suppose she's a new scout." Mercury said. "I think she is." Venus said, "I mean she's not an imitator. She had an attack."
"Are you the Sailor Senshi?" Espe demanded coming out of hiding. Venus jumped at the voice. "AHHHH! Another talking cat!" she yelled. "Shush!" Mercury said frowning. She returned her attention to Espe. "Yes we're the Sailor Senshi." Espe seemed to relax a little. "I think you forgot about me." Adolph said, "I don't know who you to new people are but I think you deserve to be destroyed like little Christmas over there." "I was right about the name!" Venus said triumphant
At the sound of Adolph's voice, Christmas moaned and sat up. Seeing him, she growled. "Okay. I swear I've seen you way too much lately." She said weakly, "CHRISTMAS HOLLY BLIZZARD!" For the third time that day the holly appeared. With all her strength, Ginhoshi threw the two holly leaves at Adolph. He disappeared and they returned to her.
"You know that reminds me a whole lot of Sailor Moon's Tiara." Venus commented. Christmas looked up to see who had said something about Sailor Moon, squeaked and ran off, leaving Espe behind. "Was it something I said?" Venus asked. "No." Espe replied, "I haven't known her that long, but she seems to be a person who is very jumpy." "Like the saying your emotions are on leave?" Venus asked. "No!" Mercury said, "It's you wear your emotions on the edge of your sleeves!" "Oh." Venus said. "Well we better go." Mercury concluded, "People will start wondering where we are. I'm not sure weather to say I hope to see you again or if we don't hope to see you again because of these dratted things enemies keep sneaking onto the planet." "I understand." Espe said.
When Espe arrived back at Ginhoshi's house she found her sipping tea in the living room. Her skin was pulled tightly over her cheekbones and the tight shirt she wore showed every single bone in her ribs. Espe didn't even want to think of the damage that Hunger could have done if it had gotten a hold of her again. "Why did you run off like that?" the cat demanded, "Those two were Sailor Senshi! I thought your dream was to meet them!" "It is." Ginhoshi explained, "But I never dreamed that they would save me! I just thought that one day I could meet Sailor Moon after a battle!" "Well I bet that you'll see them again." Espe said, "And this time you'll be ready."
Ginhoshi walked into her room and stepped onto a scale in the corner. "AH! I hate Hunger! I lost fifty pounds!" she exclaimed. "How heavy were you before?" the cat asked. "90!" Ginhoshi exclaimed, "Now I'm only forty pounds! That's not healthy for a girl my age! What if that guy attacks again!?" I'd probably faint!"
The senshi and Mamoru were together in the control room. "Why did you schedule a meeting?" Rei asked. "We found the scout that we detected yesterday." Ami said, "She reminded me a whole lot of Sailor Moon except she was really shy. We came just in time to save her from being killed by some youma when she was knocked out. When she returned to consciousness and saw us she ran away." "What was her name?" Makato asked. "Sailor Christmas." Minako said, "Maybe she's related to Santa Claus! Maybe we can give her our Christmas lists! She could give them strait to Santa! That would be so-" She was cut off by Makato."We have more important things to talk about than Santa Claus." she growled. "Did you get anymore information?" Mamoru asked. "Yes." Ami replied. "She had a talking cat!" Minako exclaimed, "Maybe each team has to have at least one." "I was talking here!" Ami said, "Well anyway her cat came out and scared the living day lights out of Venus, but that's not important. We didn't talk that long and we didn't learn anything important, but hopefully we can talk to her again at the next fight."
