Here's Chapter 1 before I take off to New York. Since I got reviews so fast, I thought it'd be best to post it up before I couldn't for a week.
So, without further delay, here's chapter 1! Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Reminiscence
"Aw Serena come on..." Rei said in a slightly irritated voice, awaiting outside of the shrine. "Coming Rei!" Serena stumbled out of the shrine, and paniced as she was about to tumble down the long stairway leading to the road. Luckily for Serena, Rei caught her by the back of her shirt. "Thanks Rei..." Serena managed to say during a sigh of relief. "Let's make a move on it Ms. Clumsy, the others said to meet them at the arcade at four o'clock... and here it is five minutes until four..." Giving a nervous laugh Serena inched her way down the steps. Rei shook her head and followed after her.
As they raced down the sidewalk, dodging people here and there Rei suddenly stopped before running into the arcade. She had an intense expression as she lunged around, scanning the crowd. She spotted a woman staring into her hands. "I sense a strange power from her..." Serena looked around the crowd, waving her hand in front of Rei's face. "Earth to Rei... Hello..." Rei looked to Serena and nodded her head toward the door as if instructing her to go inside. Serena glanced back at the crowd before walking in, and Rei followed quickly. The woman in the crowd looked up in the direction of the arcade.
"Hey you guys, what took you so long?" Lita asked, totally drawn into an arcade game but glancing to them out of the corner of her eye. She growled and slammed her hands down, causing everyone but the intensely focused Rei to jump. "NOO! I had her too! That's so cheating!" Ami was sitting on a stool not too far away with Luna in her lap. "Lita calm down, you can always play it again.." Luna purred slightly as Ami began scratching her chin. "But.." Lita frowned and sat back down, blushing slightly. "Sorry guys." Mina chuckled slightly, then caught sight of Rei, who's eyes were still to the side, in the direction of the door. "Rei..." Before Serena could finish the glass doors slid open, revealing the woman from before. She looked around in complete confusion, and then her sight focused on Rei, who by now was staring into her eyes. Everyone stood in silence, then only sound heard was the occasional beep from one of the arcade games. Finally Luna jumped down from Ami's lap, "Mrow.." Ami stood and looked to the girl. "Ma'am, is there something we can help you with?" The woman finally snapped out of her trance and looked to Ami. "You.. you can tell me where I am." Lita and Mina looked to each other before looking back to the strange woman. "What's your name?" Ami asked skeptically. The woman simply shrugged then flinched, placing her hand on her forehead. "Uh.. Mitsume.." Rei's glare lightened slightly. "Well Mistume, you're in Tokyo, Japan... at the Crown Arcade..." Mitsume looked up and stared to her, befuddled. "Crown Arcade? In.. in Tokyo, Japan?" Ami nodded and stepped closer. "Maybe you should go to a doctor, you don't look like you feel too well..." Mitsume shook her head and backed away, turning and racing out of the arcade. Lita raced out after her, but she was out of sight by the time the doors reopened. The others soon came out as well. "Wow... that was weird." Mina blurted out as she continued blinking in confusion. "I picked up strange vibes from her..." Rei said, barely audible. The others all looked to her in question. "Whoever she is... this Mitsume woman... she's no ordinary human..." Serena looked out into the crowd again, seeming to drift into deep thought. "I wonder... who she really is..."
----Meanwhile----
Rini peered out from her door, eavesdropping on Pluto and Neo Queen Serenity. "What do you mean she fell in?" Pluto looked down before replying, "I tried to stop her, but all she said was, 'I must find him..' and then she tripped, falling into the gate." Rini closed the door and walked back to her bed, holding Luna P. in her lap. "Luna P. someone must have fallen into the Gateway of Time..." Luna P. gave her usual beep in return. Rini looked up to the ceiling, "I wonder who it was..." Rini cringed hearing the terrified scream echo in the back of her mind. She looked to Luna P. sadly, "I wonder what's going to happen now Luna P..." Rini held her toy close, and layed back down, covering herself in the thick comforter.
"Pluto..." Serenity shook her head, placing her forehead against her fingers, and then turning and walking to Rini's room. Pluto stood silently, watching. "Rini... Rini, you awake...?" Serenity whispered. She nodded, and walked in, kissing her daughter's forehead before tucking her in. She then walked out, closing the door tightly. As she made her way past Pluto she stopped. "Inform the others... I'll tell King Endymion..." Pluto nodded, and walked in the opposite direction of Neo Queen Serenity...
