*cue thematic music!*

Hello, Fox-The-Writer here! I'm back after a few months. Thanks to those still sticking with me even in my prolonged absences - I appreciate it immensely!

So tonight, in honor of the new SCOOB! movie from Warner Bros. that is premiering out for video release, I am posting a brand new story - Sands of Time, the first of the latest set of installments known as the Crystal Ball series. This is a crossover between two worlds apart - on one side of the moon we have Sailor Moon, and on the other side, we have characters spread across the Hanna-Barbera galaxy with old and new stars. Much like the other stories, this one will be updated slowly, but it will be updated regardless.

I will also mention that I have taken some artistic liberties with the canons of both worlds here and will be taking bits and pieces from various sources of Sailor Moon and Hanna-Barbera to weave a tale of time, space and reality - just as certain characters will travel across dimensions to meet others.

Many thanks to my friends for their never-ending support and aid through my planning and enthusiasm for this story. :)

On a final note...I dedicate this story to Ms. Julie Bennett, known to many Hanna-Barbera fans as the voice of Cindy Bear from Yogi Bear, who has passed away at 88 this year, and Danny Goldman, the voice of Brainy Smurf of The Smurfs, who has also passed away this year at the age of 80. Thank you two for bringing laughter and joy to the world through your voices, and may the show go on wherever you two are.

And now, from the author who brought you "Running Wild", "A Mother's Request", and "Shooting Seven Stars", from the spring of May 2020, may I present the first of the Crystal Ball series...

"Sands of Time".
