****In the morning****
A shrill beeping is heard beside the bed. The occupant in the bed counts to 10 then begins her morning routine of running around the room to get ready and crying that she is late even though she is in fact completely ready. A cat sneers at the girl to hurry up. The girl complains to her mother that she is late and leaves without eating or her lunch. Once she leaves the house she sighs at the idiocy of the act and readies herself for the rest of the day. Picking up speed as she runs to school she braces herself for the impact that will surely occur as it has every previous day.
Bang
She crashes into a larger being and for one second she is held and is at peace. But all too soon she has fallen on the ground in an unpretty mess. No damage has done physically but as it is part of her daily routine she shrills in "pain" and looks at the person she knowingly crashed into. He is 6"2, dark hair, blue eyes, tanned, muscular body, wearing a shirt and pants for the high school he attends. Before she can begin insulting the man he laughs at her and taunts her, "Oh poor Odango Otama hurt herself. "Watch where you are going". He then leaves before she can so anything. Still on the ground, she sighs. Then she rushes off to school to get detention. Muttering her apologises, she sits in her designated spot and the appears to daydream. Utterly bored as she knows what is being taught, she wishes things could be different.
The day continues how it starts, her being ditzy, forgetful, always late and emotional. Having to stay for detention for being late in the morning and a lecture for not handing in an assignment she had hidden after completing perfectly. After being released from detention, she bolts to the Crown Arcade for chocolate goodness which she knows should not be consumed as often as she does. Entering the arcade she bounces to the counter where her "brother" Motoki Furuhata is serving. Tall, green eyes, blonde hair, 6", wearing a polo t-shirt, pants and an apron with Crown Arcade sewn across the front.
"Hey Onii chan"
"Hey Usagi how are you?" Yes the young girl was none other than Usagi Tsukino, 16 years old. With an exaggerated sigh she replies, "Oh so horrible. First I ran into the Baka, was late and got a detention and then got a lecture for not handing in an assignment. It's not my fault I forgot"
Another voice enters the conversation, said Baka. "Well Odango yes it is not your fault you're so stupid, you will be forever at school and be a failure."
"Mamoru don't be so mean to Usagi. Usagi don't listen to him, I'll get you a sundae on the house"
Motoki intervened before an eruption escalated between those two. They were known for their fights. Mamoru Chiba, aka Baka, is 17 years old and goes to Azuba a private selective high school. His best friend is Usagi's "brother" Motoki.
Trying to ignore his taunt, she turns to Motoki and gives him a grateful smile. Once the sundae is made she savours every taste, partly because it is so good and partly to avoid talking to Mamoru. He appears to be reading some textbooks for school next to her.
While she is eating, 4 girls enter the Crown Arcade, notice Usagi and walk towards her. The tallest one Makoto Kino has brown hair tied up in a ponytail, brown hair, hazel eyes, rose earrings and a green uniform from her old school as no uniform fits at the new school. The shortest, Ami Muzino, has black short hair which shimmers blue in the sun, dark blue eyes and is carrying a load of textbooks and the same uniform as Usagi. The next girl has a purple uniform, Rei Hino, has long black hair with a blunt fringe and faint red tinge to her hair, violet eyes. The last girl has long blonde hair tied in her signature ponytail with red ribbon, has a blue uniform, blue/green eyes, her name is Minako Aino. Makoto and Ami go to the same school as Usagi, Rei goes to the private Catholic school and Minako goes to the public school but has been trying to transfer to Usagi's school with no luck.
Once the four reach her they sit near her on the bench. Usagi takes this as her cue to complain. "Oh stupid teacher for giving me detention, it's not fault I was late, the Baka was in my way" ending with a wail. In her peripheral vision she could see Mamoru lift his eyebrow as if to say 'You think they will buy that?' She kept her giggle in. This complaint got the girls started.
"Oh Odango you are so lazy why don't you wake up earlier"
"Rei you're so mean"
"Usagi you need to focus on your studies, I saw you didn't hand in your assignment"
"But it's so hard"
"You crashed into Mamoru, oh he looks like my ex boyfriend"
"Eww Makoto"
"School is hard"
"I know Minako"
Getting bored very quickly of this conversation, Usagi faked a gasp and yelled something about her mum killing her for being late and not letting the others say anything she left. However not without hearing there is a meeting at the temple at 5pm.
After running from the arcade she slowly walks to where she lives contemplating everything. Before she can enter the door her beeper beeps. This is no ordinary beeper. It is one that belongs to Sailor Moon. A frustrated noise leaves her mouth, and then she accepts the call.
"Moon here"
"Odango get your but to the park and don't be late" and Rei cuts off the connection before allowing her to answer.
Going down an alley, Usagi yells "Moon Prism Power" and transforms into Sailor Moon. Then she jumps up to the top of a house and house jump to the park. She observes the situation and sees her friends Rei, Ami, Minako and Makoto as Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter battling a Youma who is trying to suck the energy from people in the park. This monster was shaped like a giant tree and using the branches and leaves to suck the energy.
Jumping from the roof she begins her battle routine. Yes she has a lot of routines.
"Hey you tree Youma. How dare you come into the park and disrupt the peace. I am Sailor Moon and I will defeat you"
To herself, Usagi complains on how annoying it is to say the same things over and over.
Once the distraction worked, she could see Mercury frantically typing on her minicomputer device. Seeing as though Mercury needs more time, Moon uses her tiara and picks a random point and throws it while tripping over herself and successfully freeing the people trapped by the Youma's vines. Mars uses this time as an excuse to shout insults at Moon. This causes moon to fake cry. Jupiter and Venus continue to throw their attacks at the Youma with not much luck.
The Youma annoyed that it has attacks thrown at it, changes its attention at Moon. It throws a vicious attack. In the nick of time, Moon is swept away by Tuxedo Mask. He places her down, gives her a mini lecture then gives her a thornless rose. This brings back a distant memory of someone who did the same thing once upon a time. This brings silent tears to Moon's eyes. Almost in a trance, Mask brings a gloved hand to her eyes and wipes them delicately. Looking into each other's eyes recognition is realised. This connection is broken by a cry down below. Mask silently brings Moon back to the fight and leaves instantly. Mercury yells "Aim for the roots".
Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Venus attack at once to stun the Youma and Moon releases a disk to the trunk effectively vanquishing it.
This brings all the Sailors to pick every fault that Moon did in the fight, too slow, clumsy, and talking to Mask who they believed to be the enemy, taking all glory. This hurts Moon but instead of showing this, she yawns and complains she is tired and leaves.
She does not return to the house but instead her garden, her sanctuary. She doesn't detransform until she unlocks the door. The magic of the garden transforms her clothes to the beautiful dress she wore last night. Usagi walks briskly to the spot under the weeping willow and falls to the floor and cries heart wrenching sobs. Soon she has cried herself to sleep.
***Dream***
Princess Serenity stands at the balcony overlooking her kingdom of the moon and daydreams over the sight of the planet Earth. She longs to visit the planet with waterfalls, beautiful gardens and roses. Such as one she was currently holding. Entering the Earth was currently forbidden but both the Moon Kingdom and Earth Kingdom were trying to make an alliance. The rose was given to her from the Earth Prince Endymion. There was an instant attraction between the two when they met and after they danced at the ball he gave her a rose he had conjured and she gave him her locket which played music when they were together. The Earth royal family had left and Princess Serenity was left daydreaming. Suddenly there was an attack from their enemy and the entire moon kingdom was destroyed including the princess of the moon and the Earth prince who came to rescue her
***End of Dream***
Usagi woke up crying. She hated the end of the dream. Especially as it was not just a dream. She was and well is Princess Serenity of the Moon. She began having dreams of being a princess since she was young and a queen entered her dream at 13 to explain her past life, to tell her to educate herself as the next ruler and to not tell a soul who she really was. This is how she developed the mask as Usagi Tsukino.
