Konnichi wa, minna! Please, please, please tell me what you think of this story. I really want to thank everyone who emailed me, you guys really cheered me up ^_^. I can't believe how many people emailed me! Everyone was so nice and it was so surprising how many people actually liked my story! I want to thank BlackMagic, Sorceress, Keeper of the Jade, Calynder, and Nancy Nguyen (I think that's her name), they are some of the best fanfic authors I've ever read. They're really great authors and I recommend their stories. My email: blackiris3_chan@yahoo.com (hint: I LOVE email ^_-) Thoughts '...' Speaking "..." This is in Serena's POV. Yes, Serena. I'm using the DiC names. I'll use the real names some other time. Usual disclaimers: Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z... (here it comes) don't belong to me! I know, it came as a shock to me too! Anyway, please don't sue me, I'm a poor Junior High student, how much do ya think ya'd get? But I do own this story, don't steal it please. Anyway, I don't like real long author's notes so, on with the story... ------------------------------------------------------ The Real Serena Tsukino- chapter 1 by BlackIris3 When I got to the Sailor Senshi's dimension, Pluto gave me instructions to the Tsukino residence and told me I was supposed to "convince" them I was their adopted daughter. So I went and "convinced" them. Okay, okay, so I brainwashed them. Nothing real serious, I just altered some of their memories a bit, added fake ones about me, and so they believed I was their daughter. Personally, I hate the way they decorated my room. I mean pink, bunnies, and crescent moons? Definitely not my style, but Pluto told me to leave it that way as it would suit my purposes, whatever that means. If it was up to me, the whole room would be decorated in black and silver, black walls with silver stars, black and silver furniture, and a black bed with silver sheets. At night, in my dreams, Pluto and mother (Q. Serenity) visit me, talk with me, but mostly, they give me instructions. They say I'm supposed to act like a ditz, a klutz, a crybaby, and I'm supposed to be really bad at school. They tell me I'm not supposed let anyone I knew from the Silver Millennium know I remember. That when Luna comes, she won't know I'm the princess, no one will. It's a good thing I'm a good actress. I question them, why am I supposed to act like this? They say I must test the senshi. That I'll understand someday, and I'm still waiting for that "someday" to happen. Then they warn me, do not reveal who I am until it is time. I'm about to ask when it will be time but I always wake up right then. I've lived with the Tsukino's for about a year now, I'm finally 14! I made two good friends, Molly and Andrew. The funny thing is, Andrew is my cousin from the Silver Millennium. Of course, he doesn't remember this. Hmmm, well it's another weekday morning and, of course, I'm late for school, shrieking as I sprint towards the school building. But then I spot a couple of young boys picking on a cat. She reminds me of Luna, black fur and violet, almost red, eyes. I scare the boys away and check on the cat. The poor thing has a Band-Aid on its forehead. I bend down and slowly pull it off and, low and behold, I was staring at a golden crescent moon on the cat's forehead. It's Luna! The shock I suffered from is so overwhelming that I fall right on my butt on the dusty ground. I gasp and almost say her name when I remembered I'm not supposed to remember. So I cover it up by wailing, "I'm late!!" and zooming off to school. Well, I was late for school, as usual, Ms. Haruna didn't give me detention though because I got a 30% on my math test and I guess she wanted mom to punish me. So I'm all melodramatic about the 30% and Melvin (the class nerd) says I he'd be happy to help me study (he has a major crush on me) but Molly came to my rescue and took me to the mall to get my mind off my grade. After a while I left Molly at her mom's jewelry store and stare at the test grade in my hand. I sigh, crumple the paper and throw it behind me without looking back. Suddenly a voice behind me makes me turn around and gasp. It's Endymion! I couldn't believe it, I wanted to fling myself into his arms but I hold myself back. 'He doesn't remember,' I remind myself sadly. Then I hear him make fun of my test grade and I swiftly grab my test paper from his hands. I start to walk home but I look back at him one last time. 'Oh Endy,' I sigh and continue on my way. That night, Luna visits me and talks! Of course, I have to act surprised. She says a youma has attacked Molly and I must save her. I'm kinda confused by now, I thought she wasn't supposed to remember! Then she explains, she says I'm Sailor Moon, the fighter for love and justice, and does a backflip, which produces a beautiful broach. She says it's for me and I act like a ditz and bubble over how pretty it is. She tells me to hold the broach in the air and say "Moon Prism Power!" so I do and become Sailor Moon! I'm surprised, to say the least, I was never a senshi back on the moon, but I was happy. 'At least now I'll get to fight!' I think to myself. I start to squeal about how cool this is and how now I'd be famous like Sailor V! Then I somehow hear Molly's desperate pleas for help and my laughing stops. "Molly!" I gasp out. Luna tells me I must go save her and, in a split second, I'm on my way. I get to the O-SAP Jewelry Store (Molly's mom's store/home) and people are strewn out on the floor, unconscious and energy-drained. There's a youma in the center of the floor holding Molly by the neck. I say this corny introduction to get her attention and she drops Molly. She comes after me and I smile internally. 'Let's see how sensitive this witch's ears are.' I say to myself and start my usual wailing and crying, only much louder. Suddenly a red streak flashes in front of the youma, stopping her dead in her tracks. We both look up to the window sill and there stands a man, clad in a tuxedo, a mask covering his eyes, a top hat, and a long, flowing cape. My heart begins to beat faster as I recognize this man. Endymion... He encourages me to do my best and Luna shouts at me, "Sailor Moon! Take your tiara and shout 'Moon Tiara Magic' and throw it!" I do as she says and the youma's moon dusted. Endymion tells me I did a good job, then turns away and disappears into the night, cape blowing behind him. I stare after him wistfully then Luna reminds me of Molly and the others. After making sure they were all fine I detransformed and left for home, Luna lying on my shoulder. I climb into my room through my window, thank goodness I had a tree right outside my window, and got into my pajamas. I crawled into bed, totally whipped, and fell fast asleep. After all, it had been quite a day, and who know what tomorrow would bring. ------------------------------------------------------ Sooo...? What did you all think of it? Please email me and tell me. I don't care if it's a flame, just tell me. Again, I must thank everyone who emailed me, you were all so nice! I've had so much inspiration lately and I'm writing, like, 3 stories all at once! Thank you minna! Until the next chapter... ~BlackIris3
