Author's Notes: Lookit! I'm alive.
Okay, so this isn't my best work (in fact, it's deliberately bad), but when I finally thought of what I needed / wanted to be the little bridging piece between the Sailor V arc and the Sailor Moon one, I wrote it as badly as possible. Hopefully, this will inspire me to actually get back to writing this story more often.
I can't make any promises though, as I only really have time now because I'm ill with the flu. I started a PhD too, and that is very hard work. I'm going to try my best though.
Anyway, I'm sorry this is just a teaser (my note here is better value than the actual story piece, I'm afraid), but hopefully I'll follow up on my plan to write at least one night a week and you'll hear from me more often from now on.

Fly Me To The Moon

Segue…

She stood before the monster,
Her eyes like crystal sand.
Against all scientific logic her tiara
Appeared within her hand.

She posed as if throwing a discus,
Her tiara started to glow.
As she twirled, her skirt lifted slightly,
And all time seemed to slow.

Her words were ever unheard,
The monster crumbled to dust.
The eyes of her fans lit with pleasure,
We applauded, as all good fans must.

I lost my heart to a soldier,
To a brave spirit, sure and true.
I wished with my soul she would stay here,
As I looked in her eyes, so blue.
