Chapter 1
*16 years later*
*3rdPOV*
"Ahh! I'm late! Mom, why didn't you wake me up! Now I'm late and Mrs. Haruna is going to give me detention!" A blonde haired, blue eyed teenage girl shrieked as she ran around getting ready for school.
A blue haired lady poked her head into her daughter's room.
"I didn't wake you because it's Saturday dear," she simply stated as she turned and walked away.
"Whaaat?! Then I'm going back to bed!" The girl screamed as she fell back onto her bed.
"Serena, why don't you go to the Crown and try to make new friends. I know how hard it was to move away from our old home, but Tokyo is our new home."
"Okay, mom," Serena sighed as she got dressed into a lime-green skirt and a pink shirt. She turned towards her vanity and did her hair up in its usual buns.
"Bye, Mom!" Serena screamed as she ran down the stairs towards the door.
"Bye, sweetie. Have fun!" she heard her mom yell as she ran out the front door.
*Serena's POV*
I ran down the street towards the Crown. As I was passing a parking lot, I heard the cry of a cat and children laughing. I stopped, turned towards the parking lot, and saw three kids torturing a black cat!
"Hey, leave the cat alone! That's not nice!" I yelled as I ran towards them.
"Guys, run!" one of the kids yelled as they ran off.
I walked over to the cat, bent down, and picked it up. At first, it tried to get away, but it calmed down after I started petting it.
"It's okay, now kitty," I whispered.
It started to purr when I realized it had a Band-Aid on its forehead.
"Oh, poor kitty, let me take that off for you," I stated as I removed the Band-Aid to reveal a crescent-shaped bald spot.
"That's a very unusual bald spot you have there," I said as the cat meowed.
"Hmm, what should I name you? How about Luna?"
Suddenly, she started meowing like crazy and started to struggle. Then she jumped out of my arms and started to run down the street.
"Luna, wait!" I yelled as I started to chase after her.
Then when I rounded the corner, I suddenly stopped as I realized a guy was bending down picking up Luna.
"Luna!" I yelled as I ran towards them.
The guy looked up as I approached, and I stopped as my eyes got caught into midnight blue eyes.
"Is…this your cat?" he said as he starred into my eyes.
"Yeah, you can say that," I replied as he placed Luna into my arms.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked me.
"Well, I just found her. A couple of kids were torturing her so I saved her. I named her Luna, and was planning on taking her home, but I took a Band-Aid off her forehead that the kids had placed on her. Then she jumped out of my hands, and ran this way."
"That's a very interesting morning. Well, my name's Darien," he said as he offered me his hand to shake.
"And mine's Serena," I said as I shook his hand.
"I haven't seen you around. Are you new to the neighborhood?" he asked.
"Yeah, I just moved here about a week ago."
"Cool, so where are you headed anyway?"
"The Crown. My mom wanted me to go so that I could make new friends."
"Hey, that's where I'm headed. You wanna walk together?"
"Sure."
As we walked towards the Crown, Darien and I talked about our likes and dislikes, all the while, Luna was asleep in my arms.
"Oh, and don't worry about Luna. Andrew allows animals," Darien said as we approached the Crown.
"Andrew?"
"My friend. He owns the Crown."
"Oh."
We walked through the sliding doors, and walked towards the counter where a blonde haired guy stood wiping the counter.
"Hey, Andrew. I'd like you to meet my new friend, Serena," Darien said as he sat down at the counter and pointed towards me.
"Hey, Andrew," I replied as he looked up at me.
"Hey, Serena, it's nice to meet you. Would you like anything?" he asked after I sat down beside Darien and shook his hand.
"Um, sure. A double fudge milkshake, if you have one."
"Coming right up. You want the usual, Darien?"
"Yeah."
Then Andrew walked off to get our order.
Luna then woke up and looked around to take in where she was. She looked up at me, meowed once, then jumped on top of my head and went back to sleep.
Darien and I looked at each other then started laughing.
"That cat is really something," Andrew laughed out as he returned with our drinks.
"Yeah, she is. Thanks," I replied as he sat my shake down in front of me.
Suddenly, Luna woke up, jumped down off my head and started meowing like crazy.
"Luna, what's wrong?" I asked as I picked her up.
Then my cell phone started ringing. I took it out of my skirt pocket and checked the caller ID: Home.
"Hello?" I asked as I answered the phone.
"Serena?" I heard my little brother whisper.
"Sammy, what's wrong?" I asked.
"I'm scared. I thought I heard some banging downstairs. I don't want to go down there. Can you come home please?" he begged.
"Yeah, I'm on my way now. Just stay in your room, and stay on the phone, okay?" I said as I stood up and got ready to leave.
"Okay."
"What's going on? Is everything okay, Serena?" Darien asked.
"Yeah, I just have to get home. Something's going on, and my brother is scared. I'll see y'all later. Bye, Darien. Bye, Andrew," I replied as I ran out of the Crown with Luna meowing my arms.
"You still there, Sammy?" I asked as I ran home.
"Yeah."
"Do you he—" I was interrupted by a scream on the other side of the line.
"Sammy?!" I screamed as I ran faster.
"Serena, that was mom who screamed! Please, hurry!" he cried.
"I'm rounding the corner now! Just stay in your room!"
I ran down the street and up the driveway and ran into the house. I stopped as I closed the door. I looked around, but didn't see anything out of place.
"I'm home, Sammy. I'm going to find mom. You stay in your room until I come get you."
"Okay."
Then I hung up.
I sat Luna down, and then walked towards the kitchen. When I walked in, I spotted my mom on the floor unconscious.
"Mom!" I yelled.
I ran towards her and checked for a pulse. When I found one, I sighed with relief. Then I heard something moving around behind me. I turned around to see a monster with 3 heads and 8 arms full of spikes.
"Oh my gosh!" I yelled out.
Suddenly, it sent spikes flying towards me. I shrieked and tried ducking out of the way, but a spike flew across the side of my head.
I screamed out in pain and I fell to the floor.
"Serena!" I heard Sammy yell.
I looked up to see Sammy run past the monster towards me.
"I told you to stay in your room! It's not safe down here!" I yelled at my 8-year-old brother.
"I heard you scream! I was scared!" he said as he hugged me.
Then suddenly a spike hit the wall behind us. I looked up as Sammy pulled away, to see the monster slowly stalking towards us. I shoved Sammy behind me as I stood up.
Suddenly, Luna jumped on top of the monster and scratched it in the face. Then she jumped off, and landed in front of me.
"Serena, you must defeat the youma! You are a Defender of Justice. Take this brooch and scream out Moon Prism Power!" Luna suddenly yelled as a brooch appeared out of thin air.
"Ahh, my cat is talking! I'm going crazy!" I yelled as I stared wide-eye at Luna.
"Serena, I heard her talk too!" Sammy yelled. "You should take the brooch. If there is a chance to defeat this thing, than take it."
"Okay," I said as I grabbed the brooch. "Moon Prism Power, Make-up!"
Suddenly, everything about me changed. Ribbons covered my entire body, and as the ribbons disappeared, a strange outfit appeared. My skirt was shorter and blue; my shirt was white with lots of red ribbons on it, with the brooch in the center of my chest. A tiara appeared on my forehead with a crescent moon as the jewel. Then everything around me came back to view, and I saw my brother staring at me in awe.
"Sailor Moon, defeat the youma!" Luna yelled.
I turned to towards the youma and saw it throw a spike at my brother.
"Sammy!" I yelled as I ran to him, and jumped in front of him.
The spike hit me in the stomach, and I screamed out in pain and fell to the ground.
"Sailor Moon!" Sammy and Luna cried.
"I'm fine!" I barked as I slowly stood up and ignored the blood that was appearing on my shirt.
"You're going to be moon dusted!" I yelled at the youma. "I am the Defender of Justice, Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"
I ran towards the youma as it threw more spikes. I rolled, jumped, and ducked as best as I could, but I would still get hit on my arms and legs.
"Luna, keep Sammy safe! I'm taking this fight outside!" I yelled as I kicked the youma in the chest and sent it flying through the wall.
"Be careful, Sailor Moon!" I heard my brother yell as I jumped through the hole in the wall.
As I got outside, I surveyed the area. I saw some people running away from the youma, and some taking pictures. The youma then spotted me and started sending me some more spikes, but I didn't have enough time to move out of the way. I screamed as they hit me in the chest, stomach, leg, arms, and again on the side of my head.
"SAILOR MOON!" I heard Sammy scream.
"Sammy, stay back!" I yelled back, not looking at him as I stood back up.
Then the youma sent more spikes, but before they got to me, I was suddenly swept off my feet. I looked up to see midnight blue eyes staring at me through a mask. Then I realized he was wearing a tuxedo.
"I am Tuxedo Mask. Sailor Moon, use your tiara," he said as he sat me down.
"Okay!" I replied.
I turned towards the youma and saw it slowly stalking towards Tuxedo Mask and me. I took the tiara off my forehead.
"Moon Tiara Magic!" I yelled as I threw my tiara like a Frisbee.
The youma shrieked when my tiara hit it, and as my tiara flew back to my outstretched hand, the youma turned to dust.
"You've been moon dusted!" I said as I placed the tiara back on my forehead.
I turned to thank Tuxedo Mask, but he was nowhere to be seen. Then I turned and ran back towards my house. As I entered through the hole in the wall, I detransformed.
"Sammy?" I yelled.
"I'm in here!" I heard him yell from the kitchen.
I ignored the pain I felt as I ran towards the kitchen. When I got there, I saw him sitting on the floor next to my mom. When he heard me run in, he turned and looked at me. The he jumped up and ran into my open arms as he cried.
"Shh, it's okay now, Sammy," I whispered as I hugged him.
"I was so scared! You kept getting hit by the spikes, and you were bleeding so much! You're still bleeding!"
"Don't worry about me. Let's worry about mom," I said as I pulled away.
We walked over to our mom, and sat down beside her.
"Mom? Mom, wake up!" Sammy cried out as he shook her.
Suddenly, I started to get really dizzy as I saw my mom start to wake up. The last thing I remember was my mom and Sammy screaming my name.
