RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!
A youma roared wildly. It stood tall and grew taller with everything it mercilessly smashed. To any bystander, it looked like a growing dinosaur. To Usagi, it simply looked like a nuisance that was quickly growing into a real problem.
She ducked into an alley and transformed into Sailor Moon. Regardless of the public opinion, she had a job to do. She jumped from the alley to a roof and took a moment to survey the entire scene. She pulled out her communicator. "Luna, it looks really strong…," she said. "Are you sure I can do this?"
"Sailor Moon, remember," Luna guided her from the control room. "Your powers stem from your heart. If you doubt yourself, there's no way you can win. Stay positive."
"That's easier said than done," Sailor Moon mumbled. "You haven't seen this thing. It's huge!"
"Well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall! The city is counting on you!"
Sailor Moon sighed and put away her communicator. She jumped down and approached the monster. "Hey, ugly!" she yelled. "Over here!"
The youma growled and stopped its destruction to glare at Sailor Moon. The youma chuckled darkly. "I've been waiting for you…"
The youma roared but instead of attacking Sailor Moon, he focused on destroying more of the buildings around him. The youma grew even more in size.
Sailor Moon narrowed her eyes. "Hey! Knock it off!" She pulled off her tiara and threw it at the youma.
The youma growled again, seeing the tiara coming towards him in the corner of his eyes. He swiped at it with his tail, hitting it to the ground. The tiara lost its power and clattered onto the ground.
Sailor Moon's eyes widened. "No way…"
The youma growled again. The youma grabbed her by the neck and lifted the heroine off of the ground. "You'll pay dearly for that, brat!"
Sailor Moon gasped out, struggling for breath. She clawed at the youma's hands, trying to escape with no luck. When she realized that it was not working, she looked down, reaching and praying for her tiara to come back to her.
A rose appeared out of nowhere and sliced through the youma's arm. The youma wailed in pain and dropped Sailor Moon in favor of gripping his new injury.
Sailor Moon looked around for whoever saved her with no luck. She did not spend too much time looking, however. She scrambled to her tiara and it glowed again. She took advantage of the monster's distraction and threw it again. "Moon Tiara Action!" This time, the tiara hit its mark and the youma let out a wail before it disintegrated into moon dust.
Sailor Moon let out a sigh of relief once the immediate danger was gone. She looked around for her hero once more with no luck. She sighed and jumped away. Once she was in the alley again, she de-transformed.
She smiled and patted herself on the back for a good well done. Albeit with a little help, but still! Usagi left the alley and joined the crowd that started to reform after the monster's attack.
Usagi returned to her house. She opened the door. "I'm home!" she called to everyone in the house. She shrugged when she did not get an answer. "I guess I'm the first one home for once…"
She walked deeper into the house to see that everyone was home after all. Their attention was focused on the television again. Usagi groaned inwardly. She knew what that meant. Another news headline on "Sailor Moon the thief."
"No way…," Usagi mumbled under her breath. "I was busy with a monster today. There's no way they have new information on me…"
Usagi sat with her occupied family on the sofa and joined them in watching the news.
"And now," the news anchor said. "We're going to show you exclusive footage from earlier today. We must warn our viewers. What you are about to see is graphic."
The screen cut to a video of Sailor Moon in downtown. Usagi nodded. So far, so good. That was where she defeated the youma.
The video took a turn for the worse when it showed Sailor Moon turning towards the camera to smirk at it before turning away. The Sailor Moon on screen powered up her tiara and destroyed building after building.
Usagi watched with wide eyes. "What?!" she screamed. "Are you kidding? Sailor Moon didn't do that—the monster did! How could they cut out that entire gigantic monster! You had to be a complete moron to miss it!"
The blonde earn collective shushes from everyone in her family. She settled down in time to see the video cut back to the news anchor. "And there you have it. Sailor Moon has now added public destruction to her list of horrible crimes. The questions on everyone's minds—can she be stopped and what will she do next? Her crimes have put her on Tokyo's most wanted list. The police department has supplied a hotline number for anyone with any information to lead to her arrest. That number is…"
Usagi stood and shook her head, unable to listen to any more of the lies. She ran to her room and slammed the door closed. She slid to the floor. "I don't understand! Why is this happening?!"
She sniffled and tears started to well in her eyes. "Everyone hates me…"
The next morning, Usagi walked out of the house with Luna by her side. She was silent on her way to school and despite being on the verge of late, Usagi made no effort to speed from her sluggish pace.
Lina glanced up at her with worry. "Please cheer up, Usagi," she said with a sigh. "I hate seeing you like this."
"Everyone in the city hates seeing me at all," Usagi retorted in a teary voice. "I didn't even do anything…"
"That's why you have to work even harder, Usagi!" Luna said in encouragement. "This has to somehow be the Dark Kingdom's doing! We have to work hard to defeat them and clear your name! Trust me!"
Usagi sighed. "I do trust you but-." She stopped midway through her sentence when she saw a familiar face up ahead. "Mamoru-san!"
Mamoru smiled at the corner of the sidewalk. "Hey," he said. "I thought I'd meet you here. You ran out of the arcade so quickly yesterday that I didn't have a chance to say goodbye."
Usagi stopped once she was beside him. "So you waited here on the off chance that I'd show up just to say goodbye?"
Mamoru gave a goofy smile. "Yeah."
Usagi laughed a little. "Then goodbye."
"Goodbye—I mean, goodbye for yesterday," Mamoru corrected himself before Usagi could take his words as an invitation to leave. "Hello for today."
"Hello," Usagi said with another laugh. "But as amazing as your conversation skills are, I'm afraid our little talkwill have to come to an end. I'm late for school as it is. So…goodbye, again." She continued on her way.
"I'm not saying it again!" Mamoru called after her. "We'll save it for next time."
Usagi looked backward at him as she kept walking. "Sounds good!"
"So when will next time be, exactly?" Mamoru called again. "After school?"
"We'll see!" Usagi called back.
Mamoru smiled a little, watching her disappear from sight. He looked down at Luna who watched the entire interaction and stayed behind to study Mamoru a little. He smiled at the little cat. "That girl is something special. I know it."
Luna gave a little mew and scurried away to catch up with her charge.
And that's the chapter! Love it? Hate it? Tell me in a review!
Writing that chapter was fun! I love when I can include little flirtatious moments between Usagi and Mamoru! There's more to come so stay tuned!
Wondering what I've been up to lately? I recently published the first chapter of my new manga Diamond Witch on Pop Comics! It's completely free to read and I provided a link on my profile page so please check it out, rate it, and tell me what you think! I love hearing from you guys!
That's all for now!
