RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon!

"Thanks for walking me home, Mamoru-kun," Usagi said once they reached her front porch. "It was very kind of you."

"No problem, Usagi-chan," he replied.

She gave a small smile, noting that he called her by her real name again. "Get home safe, okay?" She opened her door and was about to go through it when she slipped on the porch.

"Usagi!" Mamoru responded immediately and grabbed her.

Usagi shook with fear as she was pulled back to her feet. She wasn't usually scared when she fell but this was different. There were many rusty nails sticking out the porch that her father had yet to fix. In other words, she could have been seriously injured. She gripped Mamoru's shirt tightly. "Thank you," she voice was a little above a whisper.

"N-no problem," Mamoru replied.

They stay silent for a while. The rain poured around them and the wind blew furiously around them but both were oblivious.

Sailor Oblivion was teleported back home with the help of Beryl. She looked at her reflection for the first time. Not only did the power traveling through her body feel evil, but she looked the part as well. The girl wore dark make up, complete with black lipstick and black eye shadow. Her fuku was almost identical to those of the real senshi, the only different being the bow style and the dark purple and black colors.

"Wow," she whispered to her reflection. "I'm actually a Sailor Senshi with all the bells and whistles." She chuckled darkly and her eyes flashed red. "Let's see Usagi mess with me again."

The Shih Tzu disguised youma panted in relief when he finally made it to the top of the dresser. She glanced to it. "Come on, Kori-pi. We have some revenge to plan."

"I don't know what to do, Mako-chan!" Usagi squealed into the phone. "I don't know what to do!"

"Isn't it obvious? Ask him out."

"Are you crazy? I can't do that!"

"And why not, Usa-chan?"

"Because, Mako, I…I…I just can't okay?"

"I don't see the big deal here, Usagi-chan. If you love him as much as you say you do, then go for it."

Usagi sighed. "That's the problem, Mako-chan. We just had a moment. I don't know if I love him and I'm not even sure he felt what I did when we were standing in the rain." Her voice trailed off towards the end of her statement.

"Well, it sounds like it's time for Plan B," Makoto smiled deviously although she knew Usagi couldn't see.

Usagi frowned. "Plan B? What's Plan B?"

"You'll just have to flirt."

"Flirt," the blonde cried. Luna woke up from her nap and looked at her charge. Usagi winced. She whispered, "I don't know how to flirt, Makoto. Besides, I don't know if I love him!"

"Problem solved," the brunette sang over the phone. "Knowing you, you'll slowly fall for him just by spending time with him."

The odangoed teen scoffed. "Not true!"

"Usagi, you've only been alone with him for thirty minutes and you're already having boy problems. Besides, everyone knows you're attracted to each other."

"Mako-chan?"

"Yep?"

"You're insane."

The next day, the Azubu-Juuban area was hot and sunny. Minako sighed as she stepped outside of her front door. "I really wish the weather would make up its mind, Arte-kun."

Artemis chuckled. "Never mind that. Are you ready to meet your new teammates?"

The blond haired girl sighed. "As ready as I'll ever be, I guess. How do I know it's the right time?"

"You saw the battle yesterday, Minako-chan," Artemis explained. "Sailor Moon and the other can't handle this on her own anymore. If I knew this Sailor Oblivion character was going to cause problems, you would have been introduced to them much sooner to begin Moon's training."

"I suppose you're right," Minako sighed. "Now how do we go about meeting them?"

"Well," Artemis smiled. "From the information I've gathered, Moon's school is hosting a festival."

"So?"

"You see, Minako, this is no ordinary festival. This is the Festival of Serenity."

Minako raised an eyebrow. "That is interesting, Artemis. How do I fit into this, exactly?"

"Who has a firsthand account on all things Serenity?"

"Me."

"And who is the best costume designer I know."

Minako laughed a bit. "Me."

"That's right!" Artemis exclaimed. "So who can volunteer to work on costume and make up for the festival?"

"I get it," the blonde chuckled. "Here's the school."

Minako watched as a teacher pulled into the parking lot and make her way to the truck of the car. The teacher slowly grabbed what seemed to be a mountain of different supplies. She dropped several things along the way.

"Minako," Artemis whispered. "That's Kana. The sponsor of the festival."

Minako gave a small nod and rushed over to the teacher. She picked up the dropped things along the way. "Do you need help, Sensei?"

"Yes, please," Kana's voice sang without looking at the girl. "Thank you so very much."

After a quick walk, Kana and Minako were inside the mythology classroom. "Thanks again," the teacher said as she placed the various items onto the desk. She took a look at the girl. "That uniform…you don't go to this school."

"I don't," Minako used her acting skills to give a sheepish smile. "I saw you struggling as I was passing the school and no one volunteered to help you so…I thought I would."

"But won't you be late?"

"No worries," the blonde gave a small giggle. "My school doesn't start until 8:30. I was just going to visit a friend before school."

Kana smiled back. "That's good. I would feel bad if you were late."

"So," Minako picked up one of the book. "What is all of this stuff for, Sensei?"

"We're having a festival as a class project. The Festival of Serenity."

"Serenity?" Minako feigned shock. "As in Princess Serenity from the story of the Moon Kingdom?"

"That's it!" Kana replied excited. "I didn't think you would know about it!"

"It's my favorite bedtime story! I know everything about Serenity and Endymion. If you don't mind, could I help with the festival?"

Kana shrugged. "Sure. Come to the courtyard after school and I'll show you the ropes."

And that's the chapter! I hope you liked it! Tell me what you think in a review!
