A/N: Hi! So here is my first Sailor Moon fan fiction story. Here's to my maiden voyage at writing one.

Sailor Crystal Moon

Chapter One

The Eclipse

The Earth and Moon were about to cross each other. They were about to create an eclipse visible not only to the Earth, but to the entire Galaxy. But it was not just an eclipse between celestial planets. It was the eclipse of an powerful event. It was at this time that a great yet terrible moment was supposed to happen. It was to be the union of two great enemies. The Moon and the Earth.

One year ago there was peace throughout the entire Solar System. All the planets were at peace with each other. Earth was the only exception to the great alliance but it was neutral to war with the others. The head of this alliance, the "Silver Millennium" was the Kingdom of the Moon. The ruler of the Moon Kingdom was Queen Serenity, descendent of the Moon Goddess, Selene. She ruled with a merciful and kind heart. She still longed for the days where her husband had still been alive.

Forty Years ago King Richard had led the war that would decide the fate of the alliance. The Dark Kingdom wished to rule the Universe and the first step was to remove the Moon Kingdom. The King never stopped fighting to save himself. Even when injured, he'd help those of his men that were about to die. Both sides' numbers diminished greatly. The ten years of war that followed affected the Solar System greatly. In the final battle he dueled with the Evil Queen Metalia to the death. He did manage to subdue her, but not kill her. The Dark Queen was locked away as the King breathed his final breathes. His sights were of his crying wife in the palace gardens. His deceased body still holds a smile to this day. It was a sacrifice that still saddened the Kingdom thirty years later. But he did manage to leave a last gift however. That gift became the heir to the Moon Kingdom. A baby girl named Princess Serenity Ann DeLune, the Princess of the Moon.

The Princess grew up learning the ways of ruling the Kingdom. Queen Serenity took to the task of teaching her daughter. The princesses of the other planets were her best friends as well as her guard. They would give up their life if it meant saving their princess's own. Though she loved the Moon and all of its glorious aspects, she continuously stared off into the vast starry sky. The great blue orb in the sky always was caught in her line of sight.

How the Princess longed to be free of her duties. To walk across the green grasses. To breathe the fresh air. To sleep under the tall oaks. To watch the clouds float across the blue sky.

But she was the Princess of the Moon. She was watched twenty four seven. She was escorted everywhere. Heck, there was a guard outside the door every time she went to the bathroom! She knew that there had to be a way to get around them all and visit Earth!

One night that following week, she was readying for bed. She had taken a bath and was in her silk pajamas. Her guard was right outside the door. Their deal was they didn't come inside if she went straight to bed. She then felt a little guilty. Her friends trusted her with their lives, and her she was betraying them. But on the other hand, though they were princesses of their own planets, they had no clue about how stressful her life was. How much she had too sacrifice. She never even wanted to be a princess.

It was ironic. All normal girls wanted to be a princess when they were little. Yet all this real princess really wanted was to be a normal girl. She had accepted a long time ago that she couldn't change what she was born as, but she could still hope and dream.

She locked the door as usual and changed into a plain, simple, white dress. The Terrainians of Earth would know something was up if a extravagantly dressed girl was found all alone down on Earth. The princess lied down on her bed. She needed to wait an hour, then she should be able to escape. She had slipped a handheld teleporter into her room earlier that day. The settings were already made. She planed to spend just one night on Earth, then teleport back to her room before anyone noticed her missing.

One hour slowly passed by. She faked her slumber and then, the clock ticked ten o clock. She grabbed the remote from under the bed. And then, as quietly as possible, clicked the red button.

The room spun quietly faster and faster. But she did not feel the slightest bit nauseas. White, stone rooms soon gave way to green rolling fields. The spinning stopped and she felt her bare feet touch the soft grass. A slight wind breezed by. She breathed in the new air. It tasted so sweet! She looked up, it was nearly nightfall. The sky held brilliant colors. From blue, to yellow, to red, to violet! The clouds were sweeping by gently. Rose bushes covered the ground, everywhere. They seemed to climb even the steep hills rising around her.

She finally saw it. Resting on the other side of this strange valley sat an oak tree! She ran began to run

over to its mighty trunk. Oh how it stood so tall! BAM! She fell to the ground. The gravity here was

greatly different than it was on the moon. She got up and tried again. Once more she fell but she made it a

little farther. This process continued on and on until she managed to be able to at least walk over. She

would have to come back to Earth and continue practicing. The oak's branches and leaves spread so far

and wide! She began to feel tired and lied down. She sighed as she fell into such a peaceful slumber.

Something was gently shaking her. Why? What were they doing? All she wanted was to sleep under the oak tree, breathing in the sweet air. She mumbled something incomprehensive. The shaking continued.

Slowly she opened her eyes and stared. It was the most beautiful sight she had ever seen! Oceans of blue stared back at her. They were captured inside of this person's gorgeous eyes. She looked at the rest of him. Her wore armor and a red cape. He had jet black hair. A razor sharp sword was sheathed on his back.

Could this man be? No it couldn't. But he looks so…

He looked at her intently. Then he spoke the question that changed everything.

"Who are you?"
