Sailor Moon groaned and sat up.

"Sailor Moon, are you all right?" Sailor Jupiter asked.

Sailor Moon looked up at her. "Jupiter? Wha—what happened?"

"That Nega-monster tried to attack us. You pushed me out of the way, then Rashana hit you with a power blast. Are you all right?"

"Yes," Sailor Moon said as Jupiter helped her up. She looked at Luna who was dodging power balls. I guess it was all a dream, she thought. A wonderful dream. "Now it's time to send those Nega-creeps back where they came from!"

"Yeah!" Jupiter shouted.

Kerry-Ann and Rashana were too busy shooting at the other Scouts to notice Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter coming toward them.

"Hold it right there!" Sailor Moon shouted.

"Wonderful," Kerry-Ann murmured.

"I am Sailor Moon! The champion of justice! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And on behalf of the moon, I will punish you!"

Suddenly, a magic rose flashed straight onto the ground. Everyone looked up. Standing on top of the roof of an adjacent house was Tuxedo Mask, Darien's secret identity and Sailor Moon's protector.

"Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon cried, surprised.

"Combine your powers, Scouts!" he said. "It's the only way!"

"Right!" the Scouts shouted in unison.

"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!"

"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!"

"Jupiter Thunderclap Smash!"

"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"

"Moon Scepter Elimination!"

Their powers joined together and burst in a bright pink light. Rashana and Kerry-Ann disappeared.

"Keep up the good work, Scouts!" said Tuxedo Mask right before he left.

"You sure seem to be back in happy spirits," Luna told Sailor Moon.

"Well, Luna, I guess I just needed some sense knocked into me. I know now that what whatever happens, I'm a special and important girl and nobody, NOBODY, can tell me otherwise."

Luna smiled and so did Artemis, Sailor Moon, and the Scouts. They checked on the passed out children and when they began to wake up, the Scouts left.

"Mom, I'm home!"

"Serena! I was so worried about you!" her mother said, running down the steps.

"I'm sorry!" they said at the same time. They gave each other a hug.

"I should've realized that this was stressing you out a lot and treating you that way wasn't helping," her mother admitted and they hugged again. "I have your report card, Serena." Her mother took it out of her apron pocket. "I didn't look at it."

Serena took it and slowly opened it. She sighed and looked at it.

"I passed everything!" she cried. "I'm going to high school!" The hugged a third time, happily.

"Now," her mother said, "let's get your party started!"

The party was fantastic. All of Serena's friends were there, like Molly, Melvin, Andrew, Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, Allaya, Darien, and others. Sammy was feeling better and joined the party. Serena was dancing with Darien and he explained why he ran by her so rudely that morning. He wanted to get her present, a gold necklace with a crescent moon charm, from the engravers as early as possible.

Serena's mother and father came into the room with Serena's birthday cake. It was round with pink and purple icing. There was a numbered candle that said 15 and a small pink candle in front of it for good luck.

"Make a wish, Serena," Darien said. Serena closed her eyes and blew out the candles. Everyone clapped and cheered.

Back in the dark, gloomy Negaverse, Empress Misty sat on her golden throne next to her pets Destra and Sharky. Destra was a beautiful gold deer and Sharky was an air-breathing, floating shark. Kerry-Ann and Rashana were kneeling on the floor.

"General Toya! Jedite!" she called. A woman with dark brown hair and a blond-haired man appeared in front of her.

"Yes, my empress?" General Toya asked.

"It seems that the Sailor Scouts have yet again foiled my plans. Two of my best warriors were severely injured. Why have we been defeated again! Did I make a lapse in judgment when I appointed you two to high positions? I should kill you both on account of our losses."

"Actually, my empress," Jedite began nervously, "we haven't totally lost. We collected enough energy to last us for over a week. The energy was all you wanted anyway."

"Hmmmm. You're right," Misty said after a pause. "You did get what I wanted in the first place. Which means that the mission was a success." She smiled and pulled back her long hair. She let it go. "I'm glad I decided to free you from your eternal sleep."

"I only wish that I could remember the identities of Sailor Moon, Mercury, and Mars," he said.

Empress Misty waved him off. "That is of no immediate importance. The amnesia side effect is only temporary and we are in no real hurry."

"What shall we do now, Empress?" Toya asked.

"We'll plan our next attack, of course. After Rashana and Kerry-Ann have been taken care of. Your day will come, Sailor Scouts. Your day will come very soon."

Late that night, Serena, Luna, Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, and Artemis were in Serena's room. Serena and Raye were on Serena's bed. Amy, Lita, and Mina were on separate sleeping bags on the floor. Luna and Artemis were on Serena's pink rug by the door.

"I'm glad you're feeling better, Serena," said Luna.

"Me too," Serena replied.

"Say," Raye began, "did you guys hear about that new movie, 'She's Got The Power'?"

"Isn't it that one with Karen Bernstein and Katie Griffin?" Amy asked.

"Yeah," said Mina. "I heard that Stephanie Morganstern and Ron Ruben are in it too."

"Mmm-hmm," Lita agreed. "It's an all-star cast with Susan Roman, Jill Frappier, Terri Hawkes, and that hunk, Toby Proctor."

"Oooooo! Toby Proctor is sooooo dreamy!" squealed Serena. Everyone laughed.

"It starts tomorrow," Raye said. "Maybe we can go see it."

"The theaters are going to be packed," Artemis told them. "Everyone in Tokyo is going to want to see it."

"But we're the Sailor Scouts!" Lita Joked. "We'll just blast our way through the line."

"There goes our PR," Raye teased. Everyone laughed again.

"So, what did you wish for, Serena?" asked Artemis.

"Don't tell!" interrupted Mina. "If she tells, it won't come true."

"But it has come true," Serena said.

"What do you mean?" Lita asked.

"I wished that I could share this special day, in good spirits, with my best friends. And I am."

"Oh! That's so sweet!" Amy remarked. Everyone then said goodnight and Lita turned out the lights. The light of the full moon shone softly in the bedroom. The stars twinkled in the clear night sky. Everything was peaceful… Until…

"Raye, move over please," Serena said.

"If I move over, I'll fall off the bed and right on top of Amy!"

"I'm squashed between you and the wall! Move over!"

"I can't! You move over!"

"Stop hitting me with your elbow!"

"Then stop pushing me!"

"I told you not to tell us what your wish was," Mina scolded.

"Wonderful," Amy sighed. "Where's the Tylenol?"

"Serena, Raye, cut it out!" Luna said angrily.

"Here they go again," groaned Artemis.

"Come on, you guys! I'm trying to sleep!" shouted Lita.

"SO AM I!" everyone yelled.

"Move your foot, Raye!"

"Stop pushing me!"

THE END

From The Author: I hope you enjoyed this story and that it brought a smile to your face! I wrote it back in 1997 (way before I even knew what fan fiction was) as a birthday present for my little sister. A map of Ankh accompanied it (how cool an idea was that, huh?). Now, it's here for all to enjoy… um, sans map. Of course, then, to preserve the history, there will be no updates, continuations, additions, or corrections (much to my own horror). What you see is what you get. I hope you liked it anyway. : ) I'd also like to apologize to fans of Serena's dad, who really didn't make an appearance. It wasn't intentional, I assure you. We can always assume that he was that lone villager… but that might just be too cruel. : ) Anyway, I'd like to thank my sister, Naoko Takeuchi-san, DiC, the WB11 (NY), the IMDb, Crayola, and FanFiction,net! Ja ne!
Disclaimer: I believe it goes without saying that I don't own Sailor Moon or any of these characters, but I will say it anyway. I don't own Sailor Moon or any of these characters. Go talk to Naoko Takeuchi-san or DiC. I won't even claim Empress Misty, Rashana, Kerry-Ann, General Toya, Destra or Sharky. Though they are all made-up characters, they should be accredited more to my little sister. They are products of her clever little mind. Should anyone wish to sue me over this, I can only say: "These are not the Scouts you're looking for…"
