From Last Time:
"My past life? My destiny? What are you talking about. There are no past lives and cats don't talk. Also, everyone makes there own destiny. I must have hit my head when it fell in the book."
"Enough of this. If you don't believe me, try this. Grab this locket and say 'Moon Prism Power.' If I am lying then nothing will happen. If I am not, you will become a warrior of good, a Sailor Senshi who's role is to protect the innocent from the evil of Beryl and her henchmen." And with that, Luna pushed a beautiful heart-shaped locket at Serena.
"Fine. Moon Prism Power!" and with that Sailor Moon was born.
********************************************************
"Ouch! Why does this hurt so much?" exclaimed Serena as she doubled over from a quick burst of pain.
"What hurts?" asked a concerned Luna. She could not remember any reason for Serena to hurt just for transforming into Sailor Moon.
"It's like a headache. Or like I can feel someone else's pain. Does that make any sense?" asked Serena as she sat on her bed with her head in her hands.
"Ack! Someone is being attacked by the Negaverse. You have to help them." exclaimed Luna.
"How do I find them? All I have is a pain in my head and a feeling in my gut. That sure doesn't tell me where the people are." sounded a defeated Serena.
"You will know. Just like you have the feeling now, you will know where the attack is as soon as you try and find it. Trust yourself .You will be fine. Grab me and start to run!"
"You got it." And out the window they flew, as though they had wings.
Suddenly Serena found herself just outside the jewelry shop that was run by her friend Molly's mom. This couldn't be where the attack was! She knew the people here. She was going to be saving her friends, not strangers like she thought. "Luna! This is Molly's mom's place. She will recognize me! I basically live with Molly as her parents pay more attention to me than my own."
"No one will recognize you. There is magic surrounding you that will not allow people to connect Sailor Moon with her human form. It's sort of like the Superman concept where glasses hid his true identity and he was able to live peacefully as Clark Kent. I'll explain more later. Get in there and beat this thing!"
Serena burst into the jewelry story to find most of the people passed out on the floor and Molly be terrorized by a woman/youma. "Stop right now! I'm Sailor Moon, Champion of Love and Justice and I will vanquish you!"
"Ha! You think that you, a young girl playing dress-up, will be able to defeat me? Minions, rise and defeat this creature." sneered the youma.
What was she going to do? These were women that she had known all her life, and they were attacking her. She could see that their eyes were empty, and they were not controlling their actions, but she knew what was going and did not want to hurt these women, her friends. So, instead of attacking, she fled from them. She hid behind a post in the store, crying, while Luna continued to yell at her to attack, to beat this youma. Suddenly a red rose flew through the air, straight at the floating youma. "Sailor Moon, get yourself together and defeat the youma. You have the power to do so and free these women. Only you have the power to do so. I believe in you." spoke a deep, masculine voice. And there, in the upper windowsill stood a man dressed in a tuxedo, complete with top hat and mask. She had no idea who he was and why he knew that she could accomplish this mission, but she knew now that she could. She heard Luna yelling, you're your tiara and yell 'Moon Tiara Magic' and throw it directly at the creature. Quickly Sailor Moon!"
Serena got a hold of herself. She knew the only way to help her friends and neighbors was to defeat this beast floating in the jewelry store. She stood up, grabbed her tiara off her head, and threw it with all her might at the beast screaming "Moon Tiara Action" and the beast screamed, and turned to dust. The women all fell to the floor, their energy spent. Molly had fainted due to the stress of the situation.
"Good job Sailor Moon. I knew you had it in you. Keep working, you have amazing potential in you." and with that the mysterious man in a cape and mask was gone.
"Sailor Moon, you have to get out of here. No one can find out who you really are," hurriedly spoke Luna, the voice of reason.
"I'm coming." And with one last look around the shop, she was off.
******************************************************
The next day at school, Sailor Moon was the topic of almost every conversation. The fact that she was a girl was a huge focus. "She was dressed in a sailor outfit, had long blonde hair done up in buns on each side of her head with a tail. Kinda similar to Serena's I guess." said Molly to a large group of fans, all wanting the story from the girl who had been there.
"What are you talking about Molly? Who has hair like me?"
"Well, I don't know if it's just like you Serena, but the new Sailor Moon has a sort of similar hairdo. You should have been there, she was so brave, killing that monster who had tied my mom up in the basement," continued Molly as Serena walked away. She was fairly tired today, the fight last night had taken a lot out of her. She didn't have a time to even look at her studies again, so of course nothing was done. That wasn't such a big deal as she usually didn't do her homework on purpose. She was feeling a little jealous of her alter ego though. Finally Serena would have the opportunity to get all the attention, being a superhero and all, but she wasn't allowed to tell anyone, instead remain a loser nobody that most people ignored. Life could be so cruel sometimes.
When she got into class she found out that there was a new student. Her name was Amy and she was supposed to be incredibly smart. There was also a field trip to a local temple. 'At least today would be interesting,' though Serena as she sat down in her desk.
As soon as Ms. Haruna noticed that Serena was in her desk, her mouth dropped. Usually Serena was about 10 minutes late every day, but here she was 10 minutes early. "Serena, you are here on time today. Wonderful! As a reward I'm going to allow you to show our new student, Amy, around. She will be with you when we go to the temple. I'm sure that you two will get along famously!"
Serena could not believe her luck. She got noticed, but now she had to play babysitter to this new girl. Well, it wasn't all bad, maybe she could make a new friend! She liked to have new friends. She decided to introduce herself now, instead of after class started. "Hi! I'm Serena. You must be Amy! How do you like our school so far?"
"Well, it's not too bad, but everyone seems to be obsessed with this new heroine person. I have heard so many stories that I don't know if she is real or just a figment of someone's imagination. It almost seems impossible to have all the attributes that the girl Molly is trying to give her," replied Amy with a smile on her face. Serena knew that she was really going to like this girl. The stories about her being stuck up and better than everyone else didn't seem to be true so far. Maybe this girl is just misunderstood, just like she was. "Oh, she's real all right, but I agree about the exaggerations."
And so the day went on. The more Amy and Serena talked, the more they liked each other. They each had traits that the other envied. Amy envied Serena her easy-going nature and her ability to make anyone feel better about him or her self, while Serena envied Amy her smarts and her quick whit. They both knew that they were going to be fabulous friends. Soon it came time for the field trip to the local temple, which both Amy and Serena were looking forward too. But they both felt a ting of apprehension as they got on the bus to the temple. Little did they know what they would encounter once they got there.

Well, here's the next chapter. I'm trying to relay the beginning of the story while not copying it. I hope that you all can see a few differences, and that its basis is more on feelings and inner thoughts, as well as fighting scenes. Any suggestions are welcome, which means PLEASE REVIEW!!
