Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi and Bandai, not to me. This is just a fanfiction to glorify how much I like the characters.
Japanese word definitions:

Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon – An Alternate Story of Guardians
Prelude 1 – Aino Minako
Minako took a deep breath as she stood in front of the mirror in the girl's bathroom and tried to arrange her golden blonde hair over the orange birth mark that stood out on her forehead. Her sea colored eyes were worried as she then sat back to look at the front of her uniform, making sure her navy blue tie hung properly down over her short sleeved cream blouse. She smoothed out the front of her sky blue knee high skirt and then bent over to tug her navy blue knee high socks up. She sighed heavily as she turned and picked up her bag. She was as ready to face her new classmates as she could be, and she opened the door to leave out of the bathroom.
"You ok, Aino-san? You look pale." The teacher that stood outside of the bathroom door addressed her as she walked out.
"Hai, Natsui-sensei, I'm just nervous." The teacher smiled, she could understand the 13 year old girl's discomfort at being new. The girl had just returned from London, England within the last week and hadn't even had a chance to get her new uniform, though with the circumstances that had brought her back to the Juuban District of Tokyo, Japan, made the school committee in no mood to try to rush the girl to conform to the school's uniform.
"Well, let's go, it won't be that bad Aino-san, you might become the most popular girl in the school." Minako only nodded politely as they walked down the hall towards class B-2. The teacher opened the door and motioned for Minako to follow her.
"Ohayo class, we have a new student today. This is Aino Minako-san; let's make sure to become good friends with her. Aino-san, would you like to say anything about yourself?" The teacher stood back as Minako came to stand beside her.
"Please take good care of me, mina." Minako bowed low as she glanced around the class at her peers. Most of them ignored her prescence she noticed, but one or two of them seemed generally interested in her.
"Well, Aino-san why don't you take the empty seat behind Hiano-san. Hiano-san, could you stand up so Aino-san can see where you are seated." A petite girl with her brown hair in a bob stood up and bowed to the teacher. The girl looked generally friendly, Minako thought, and was rather pretty with light grey eyes and pale pink cheeks. Minako bowed again to the teacher and then made her way to sit behind Hiano-san.
Minako sat down and started pulling her books out of her bag to put in the basket under her desk chair. She pulled out her favorite orange and red notebook that had pictures of her favorite singers, Koda Kumi, Ayumi Hamasaki, and Boa all over it. She pulled out her pen as the teacher began to speak. She began to take notes, hoping that the day would continue to go as smoothly.
Minako looked up in surprise as the bell sounded for lunch. She had sunk herself into her studies, something she hadn't done in school since she was in elementary. Hiano-san turned and smiled at her. "Wow, you were studying hard. You didn't even take a break during our breaks." Minako nodded as she pulled her bento from her bag that hung on her desk.
"You wanna eat lunch with me? I usually eat on the roof when its nice out like this." Hiano-san smiled as she pointed up at the ceiling. Minako nodded as Hiano-san stood up and grinned. Minako followed her out of the classroom and up the stairs to the roof of the school. She couldn't believe how warm and sunny it was here in Japan compared to the way London had been.
"By the way you can call me Yukari, Aino-san." Yukari smiled as she patted the seat down for Minako to sit down by her.
"Then you must definitely call me Minako." Minako smiled as she sat down by Yukari. The two of them started eating as they enjoyed the warm sun on the roof during their lunch period.
By the end of the school day, Minako was tired from studying all day, but her mind had been relieved from what was going on at home. She sighed as she walked out of the gate of the school to head towards home. She stopped in front of the Juuban Karaoke Parler and wandered if she should go into before going home and then changed her mind. She was about to continue to walk on by when she suddenly saw a petite girl with her hair in golden blonde odangos walking beside another girl with chinlength reddish brown hair. Her birthmark burned and she felt a familiar yet strange feeling come over her.
"Princess….." Her hand reached out towards the girl until she passed. She shook her headand continued walking after the girl passed, unaware of the white cat with the golden crescent moon watching her from the alleyway behind her.
"She must be the one, the leader of the Senshi, Sailor Venus. Finally I've found her!"
---------------------
Ama-chan: Well I guess I should explain a few things. Minako has been in London for the last three years living with her parents, but something happened there, which will be brought up in the next part of the prelude. Minako has an orange birthmark on her head that is the astrological sign for the planet Venus. (Just like her alternate reality counterparts do when they change but she's had it since she was born.) All of the scouts have similar birthmarks. That's what Minako is covering up with her bangs in the beginning. She also doesn't wear a red bow in her hair, though it is put up in the same style. She isn't as much of a dimwit in school as she is in the manga and anime either, but she's not super smart either. She tends to be a C student. She also isn't very happy or giddy which will also be explained why in the next part of the prelude. And if you haven't figured it out, the two girls that walked by were Usagi and Naru. Expect to see some more of them soon as well as the others. The idea for the Juuban Karaoke Parlor came from Pretty Guardian Sailormoon (the live action sailormoon). Also expect to see the outers pretty soon as well.
Illyana: Don't you think you're giving away too much?
Ama-chan: I just don't want them to get lost and I do want them to be ready for the next chapter…..
Illyana: When you get around to writing it….
Ama-chan & Illyana: Well, until next time folks, enjoy and don't forget the reviews!
