Hi, everyone! It's Koneko with a new story! Just like the others, it's been stuck in my head for who knows how long. I hope you like this as much as I do!
RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!
Disclaimer: I don't Sailor Moon, although, I have a teacher that reminds me of Haruna...
"You incompetent fools!" Beryl's shrill voice echoed around the Dark Kingdom. "I give you one task, one simple task, and you are beaten by little girls!"
Kunzite bowed. "Please, forgive us, your majesty. Allow us one more chance."
The dark queen growled with anger. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't rid of you useless being right now."
"We have a plan!" Jedite quickly said.
"Really," Queen Beryl said sarcastically, "And what will this time different from you other failures?"
"Zoicite," Jedite took a step back, "why don't you tell her majesty?"
Zoicite glared at his fellow general before turned back to the fiery redhead. He cleared his throat, "We didn't want to tell you until it was complete, but we have found a sure way to find the crystal."
Beryl sat up straighter on her throne. "Really? And what is that way?"
Zoicite snapped his finger. A small phone-like device appeared in his hand. "This is the key to our future, my Queen. With this device, we will have the Silver Crystal in a matter of weeks, if not days."
"What is that contraption?" Beryl hissed.
"This device beeps whenever its counterpart is close to the Crystal," he held the device up as he bowed, "It will also tell who is in possession of the crystal, therefore…"
"The identity of the princess," Beryl whispered in awe, taking the device from Zoicite. "Fine," she looked from each general to the next, "I approve of this plan. Do not fail me, do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, my Queen."
Usagi let out an ear-piercing scream. "I can't believe I'm late A-GAAAIIN!" She ran as fast as she could down the street. "Bye, Mama! I'll see you later! I love you!"
"Five letter word for clumsy…" Mamoru pondered over his crossword as he slowly made his way down the street. He turned the corner, only to be knocked down by a blur of a girl.
"Gomen. Gomen," Usagi sloppily bowed, not looking at the man she ran in to, for she already knew who it was.
"Don't worry about it, Odango," Mamoru smirked as he stood up. "You actually helped me."
Usagi frowned, ignoring the annoying nickname, "I-I did?"
"Absolutely," Mamoru held up his book, "Five letter word for clumsy: U-S-A-G-I, Usagi. Thank you, Odango." The dark-haired walked past the gaping blonde and continued his walk.
Usagi growled. "You little…" Usagi pulled a random paper out of her bag, crumbled it, and threw it at Mamoru. "You're a jerk, Mamoru-baka!" She ran down the street before the man could retaliate.
Mamoru chuckled at Usagi's antics. "Oh, little Odango…that is one crazy girl…"
Usagi ran into the classroom as the bell rang. She sighed with relief and smiled from ear to ear. "Tsukino, detention," Haruna-sensei said without looking up.
Usagi's smile dropped in a matter of seconds. "What? You're kidding!"
"Sit down, Tsukino. I'll see you at 3:30."
Usagi groaned and dragged herself into her usual seat. Why did Haruna follow her to every grade anyway? Didn't Usagi have the human version of a youma for 6th and 7th grade, too?
The 'evil beast' stood up and began to write on the board. "Now, class, today, we're going to talk about imaginary numbers. 'I' equals the square root of negative one. Copy this down."
Usagi just looked out the window. What were all the geniuses of the world thinking? Math was annoying enough with just numbers, and then they added negative numbers, then letters, and now imaginary numbers? Why did they matter if they were imaginary?
"Tsukino!" Haruna yelled, pulling Usagi out of her daydreaming. "Pay attention! What is the square root of negative four?"
"2i," Usagi replied simply.
"Tsukino, that is absolutely…correct," Haruna looked from her book to Usagi. "But how?"
Usagi shrugged. She said math was annoying, not hard.
Other than making Haruna-sensei almost faint by giving correct answer the entire time, the class period went by without incident.
Usagi and Makoto walked together to their next class. "You nearly gave Haruna a heart attack today, Usa-chan."
Usagi grinned. "I know. That's what she gets for giving me detention. This time, I was actually on time."
Makoto laughed. "Yeah. I noticed. Don't worry; I heard she had a date today." She opened the door to the classroom.
Usagi smiled at the sight of her favorite class. She sat in the seat next to her pony-tailed friend. "Finally, the only reason I get up in the morning."
Makoto chuckled. "And you barely get up, then."
Usagi waved a hand. "Details, details."
Five minutes into the period, the teacher glided into the room, "Hello, class,"
"Good morning, Kana-sensei," the class responded. Everyone loved this class. Even if she was more late than Usagi most of the time, Kana-sensei had a way of making mythology interesting.
"Today, and for the next two weeks, we'll be talking about the most magical place of the galaxy. Ah, yes, Mayumi?"
"What does Disneyland have to do with mythology?"
Kana laughed. "No, no," she shook her head. "Believe it or not, there is a place even more magical than that. The Moon Kingdom, the Silver Millennium."
Moon? Usagi rested her head on her hands. The Moon Kingdom? Didn't Luna say they were looking for the Moon Princess?
"You see," Kana continued, "in this kingdom was the most magical and the happiest people in the galaxy. The happiest day of these people were the birthday of their princess and queen. The Moon Kingdom loved the royals; so much that they created a holiday, the Day of Serenity. The Lunarians had a festival every year on this day. It was a joyous occasion for all."
"Kana-sensei!" a boy, Shigure, Usagi recalled, raised his hand. "I have an idea!"
Kana-senshi gently smiled, "Ideas are always welcomed."
"What if we had our own Day of Serenity here at school? Like make our own festival?"
Kana's smile grew wider. "I'd have to get it approved by the principle, but I don't see why not. If you all are willing to help, we can reenact the most special day in the Moon Kingdom. Now, who wants a festival?" Hands shot up in the air. "Then, we are all going to celebrate the Day of Serenity!"
The class cheered. As if mythology was exciting enough. A festival was exactly what Juuban Middle School needed!
And that's the first chapter! Yes, it'll get more interesting than this, I promise. That's right, action, and romance, and festivals! Oh, my!
