“Hi. My name is Sunaru! I’m new to Team Rocket!”, I said enthusiastically to two Team members.

One was a blonde girl with pigtail hair that shot off into stars. I thought it was very pretty. Her eyes were a creepy purple color. They scared me. Her partner was a really cute guy with kinda teal hair and brown eyes. They wore black uniforms with white collars and white boots and gloves. The boots and gloves had a single pinkish strip on them. The girl’s boots came up to her thighs and the boys came to his knees. The boy’s gloves came up to his elbows, but the girl’s were a tad longer. The boy stuck out his hand to me.

“I’m Butch. Pleased to meet you.”

I recoiled at the sound of the world’s most horrible voice. It sounded like glass going through a blender!

“I’m Cassidy. Nice to have you on board”, she said in a voice almost to sweet to belong to a Rocket member.

I bowed in response. “The Boss sent me to train with you. I am greatly honored.”

I could tell they were pleased. They both had really wide smiles.

“Well, we’re honored to have you with us. Do you have a partner yet?”

I shook my head.

“What kind of Pokemon do you have?” the world’s most annoying voice asked me.

I held out six Pokeballs. “I have these. Come out, everyone!”

In six flashes of light came my Pokemon. First out was my first Pokemon, a Charmander named Zippo. Second was my Butterfree, Happy. Third was Sparky, my Pikachu. Then there was Rover, my Pidgeotto. Then a roar was heard. That was my Gyarados, Fearless. A pink puff ball jumped up and down for attention. That was Lullaby, my Wigglytuff. Butch and Cassidy looked impressed at Happy, Fearless and Lullaby. Especially Fearless. He was my most loyal Pokemon, more so than even Zippo.

“Meow?”, I heard from my feet.

“Quiet, Moonbeam!”, I hissed.

“What’s that?”, Butch asked, quite interested. He eyed my orange, white and black calico cat.

On her head was a gold crescent moon. I sweatdropped. “This is my stupid little cat, Moonbeam. Ignore her”, I stuttered.

Moonbeam hissed at me. I hissed back. Cassidy bent down and scratched my cat’s head.

“Aren’t you just the cutest thing!”, she purred.

Moonbeam giggled. That dumb cat love attention.

“Merow! Purr!”, Moonbeam meowed.

“Leave her alone or she’ll come to expect this”, I said to them harshly.

Butch glanced at me. It creeped me out. It was like he was undressing me with his eyes. I shudderd.

‘Mental note: keep away from him.’, I reminded myself.

Our first mission was a personal one. For them. It was to reap revenge against two other team members. Moonbeam meowed at me. I bent down to her.

She whispered to me, “Find out who they are. If it’s Jessie and James we must foil their plan.”

I nodded. Then I looked up to Butch and regretfully asked, “Who are we after?”

He smiled at me. I hate his smile. It seemed almost wicked, like Cassidy’s.

“A dimwit duo called Jessie and James." Then he stared at me a minute, “You might like James. He’s kinda kiddie.”

I growled, “I’m 14! Are you suggesting that I’m a kid?!”

He looked shocked. By now, I desperatly wished I was with Casidy. Why, you ask? 'Cause he was looking down my shirt, that’s why. I slapped him, and he got the message.

“Look, you pervert, I just want answers. Why are we messing with them?”

He sorta growled at me. “They threw us in jail. You know, we could have gotten together if your temper wasn’t so bad. You’re real cute. We would have gone great together.”

I smirked. “What makes you think I would like you? You’re after some geeks that threw you in jail.”

He immediatly growled. “They’re smarter than they look!”

“Smarter than you, obviously.”

“Look, twerp, just follow us! Do as we do!”

“So I can mess up?”

“Arrrgh! Cass, you deal with her!”

I laughed. After a while, everyone thinks I’m annoying. Cassidy walked over, quite annoyed.

“I’m busy. I’ll track Jessie, you guys get James. Now, any problems with that?”

Butch’s eyes widened in horror. “I gotta stay with her?” he asked in disgust.

Cassidy smirked. “Yeah, you two look almost cute together.”

I desperatly tried to control my shuddering as I growled at her, “Don’t say that.”

“Where would that dork go?”, Butch asked himself.

I casually followed. ‘That ‘dork’ becomes the Neo ruler of the Rocket Scouts.’, I thought in my head.

“How’d you get a name like Sunaru?”, he asked, trying to start conversation.

“Family name. It’s kind of inherited. I think it’s pretty. Do you?”

Butch hesitated and nodded. “I was thinking... I was looking at your resume. I just saw your name and saw it was ‘Uranus’ backwards. What’s up with that?”

I shrugged. “It was my mother’s idea. Her name was Uranus. I mean, her nickname was. Her name is Haruka. Isn’t that pretty?”

Butch nodded. “You’re hair’s real nice.” he said.

My hair was short and red. A real pretty, shiny red. It had gold highlights. My eyes are a steel blue. Cassidy’s eyes creeped me out, mine creeped her out.

“Thanks. Yours is different.”

His hair was teal. A pretty teal. I liked it. But he wasn’t my type. Never will be. After all, he’s from the past. Not worth the effort. Suddenly, I heard a scream.

“She found them!” Butch squealed with glee.

This was different. He didn’t seem the squealing type. Moonbeam tugged at my skirt. I nodded.

“Butch, go ahead without me. I’ll catch up.”

He stared at me blankly. “Okay, just hurry.”

Then he ran off. I reached into my pocket and pulled a beautiful steel stick. On the top was a crescent moon with thesymbol of Uranus, only tilted. I held it up.

“Sunaru Power... Make Up-A!”

An all too familiar scene filled Moonbeam’s eyes. Bright gold ribbons surrounded me. Water and waves splashed behind me. A metallic droplet of gold and silver hit my forehead. My body glew silver, and my sailor suit covered my body. Waves encased my arms and my white gloves trimmed with silver appeared. Then thuder hit my legs from the water and my silver knee high boots appeared. My gold bow became physical in a shot white light. The same happened with my bow on my back. The last things to appear were my gold bonnet that appeared in a flash of sparkles and my tiara, which started of as a single silver crystal and grew to a gold tiara. I then did my pose, which was me standing there holding a ‘V’ for victory sign. I was finished. The Neo Scouts, like me, have way cool powers.

“Sunaru, hurry, we must save them!’, Moonbeam growled at me.

I nodded. We ran to the source of the earlier scream. I came to see my future King and Queen, trapped and gagged. It hurt me to see them like that.

“Halt, evil doers!” I screamed at the two partners.

Butch and Cassidy looked at me.

“I am Sailor Sunaru, defender of the the Neo King, James!”

All four gasped. Then everyone looked at James.

“I never met her before, I swear!”

I continued, “And the Neo Queen, Jessica!”

I heard muffled giggles and growling.

“I will right wrongs and triumph over evil. In the name of roses, charms and mallets, I will punish you!”

I did the whole little pose thingy Sailor Moon did in all the stories of her. Queen Serenity died many years ago, leaving Prince Crescent Moon, or James as you know him, in charge. He’s been a great king. everyone stared at me in disbelief.

“Aren’t you that cute new recruit?” Butch asked.

I grinned. “So, I’m cute? Well, a compliment is a compliment. Even from a villian.”

Cassidy growled, “So, she has a Halloween costume. Does that scare us? Heck no,“ she whipped out a Pokeball.

“Raticate, go! Crush this wimp!”

I raised my hand in the air. “Sunaru...”

A glowing, silver ball of water filled my palm.

“... Lightning...”

Electricity sparked from it and I placed it in front of me, in the palms of both my hands.

“Orb of Water!”

The orb glew brighter, and I hurled it at Raticate. He was fried. Spaks from my attack still glowed around him as he twithched slightly.

“Just a Halloween costume? Ha! What a joke.”

Cassidy whimpered. “So, the kid is magic. We can take her.”

Eight voices came from the shadows, “Yeah, but not us!”

“I am Sailor Senuv, Scout of Beauty!” Out of the shadows came a familiar pink haired girl. Her hair was real long, about down to her lower back. It was held in place by a blue bow. She wore the Neo colors of orange and yellow, only with a metallic glint.

“I am Sailor Sram, Scout of Flames!” A pretty black haired girl came from the shadows. Her hair was short and cut evenly, down to her shoulder. She had purple and red as scout color, also metallic.

“I am Sailor Yrucrem, Scout of Knowledge!” A blue haired girl in a light, metallic blue scout uniform came out. She had large, friendly blue eyes, unlike my cold ones.

“I am Sailor Retipuj, Scout of Thunder!” A tall Scout, wearing metal green and pink, came from the shadows. Her blonde and brown hair and hazel eyes were angry.

“I am Sailor Enutpen, Scout of Music!”

Don’t ask. Enutpen is my best friend. Her mother is Neptune. She looked like her, green hair, but had icy blue eyes. She’s a talented musician. Her colors are metallic green and lighter green.

“I am Sailor Otulp, Scout of time!”

I knew very little about Otulp, except that her mother is the Gaurdian of time, Sailor Pluto. Her colors are metal purple and black. Her is green with black streaks

“I am Sailor Nrutas, Scout of Power!” She has a very powerful, but forbidden attack, because it can destroy the world. Her colors are metallic purple and dark green.

“And I am Sailor Neo Moon! Defender of love and justice, Scout of love!” Sailor Neo Moon is Small Lady, Reni. She looks just like her monther, with pink hair instead of blonde, and her meatballs were pointed. She’s our leader. I’m the leader of the Neo outer Scouts and was sent to protect Crescent Moon.

“We are the Neo Scouts of the Golden Millenium, Defenders of Time and Space! We are the future leaders of the Universe and protecters of the future generations! In the name of the Moon...”

“Venus...”

“Mars...”

“Mercury...”

“Jupiter...”

“Neptune...”

“Pluto...”

“Saturn...”

“...and Uranus...”

We all spoke, “We will punish you!”

Cassidy and Butch were in a fear hug. “Don’t kill us!”

We looked down at them, for we magically looked taller than them.

“We won’t kill you.... we said punish”, Yrucrem said to them.

She raised her hands up into the air.

“Yrucrem...”, a large bubble filled her hand, “...Ice...”, the bubble had a strange mist emmiting from it.

“Bubbles Freeze!”

The bubble flew out in front of the ropes Jessie and James were tied in and shattered. In a flash of mist, the rope were frozon.

Sram placed her hand out in front of her, “Sram... Fire...”, a spark of flames came at her fingers.

“Soul!” The flame took the form of a ghost and surrounded the ropes. They burned to a crisp.

“I’ll punish these two!” Senuv yelled, “Senuv...”, she was floating in mid air.

“Love...” A gold chain of hearts surrounded her arm, “And Beauty Chain!”

The end of the chain came to her face. She kissed the end and the whole chain glowed gold. Then it shot out to Butch and Cassidy, tying them up.

“My turn! Retipuj Thunder...” her tiara sparked lightning from it, “Tiara...”, she reaced to her forehead and took her tiara off, “Shock!”, she held it in her palms and a beam of lightning came out. It struck the two.

“Ooo, goody! My turn! Otulp...” a large glowing stick emmerged from nowhere and into her hand, “Poison...”, it took the shape of a bow. An arrow appeared in her other hand, “Arrow!” She shot it and it exploded in a cloud of smog in front of Butch and Cassidy. They coughed wildly.

“Enutpen...”, Enutpen stood there and shot her hand out to her side, “Harp...” and green harp came from nowhere and flew to her hand, “Strings...” she brought it to her face, “Vibrate!” She plucked the strings, emmiting a gorgeous sound to the good at heart, an ear breaking screech those that are evil. Butch and Cassidy cringed.

“Nrutas...” Nrutas’ eyes glew red, “Power...” the glow encased her whole body, “Earthquake!"

She put her hand to the ground and the ground cracked and the huge vibration shot out and hit the two Rocket members, causing them pain.

“Pink Sugar...” Neo Moon held up a beautiful pink stick with a pink heart crystal at the top, “Heart Attack!” From the stick came a ring of herats that did damage to the two bad guys.

“We give! We give! We can’t take this anymore!” they cried.

Literally. I saw thm huddle tighter together.

“So, I guess the stories of the prince and princess of the Nova being in love, even as teenagers,” I laughed. Yes, even they were royalty.

“Who?” Butch asked.

I smirked. “Think about that, Froggy. Who’s here hugging like maniacs?”

Butch and Cassidy exchanged glances and blushed wildly. They immediatly pulled away from each other and screamed.

“We fall in love!? Oh, gross!” Cassidy gagged.

Butch looked about ready to puke. I simply looked on in awe. The King and Queen Nova loved each other so much, and this is how they started out? I turned my attention on my friends.

“Reni, guys. You’re the best.”

Sailor Enutpen came up and nodded.

“Thanks, Jenay. You’re my best friend. And your playing has gotten better," I said to her.

“Too bad you can’t play at all, Rumika,” she said to me.

Butch looked up at me. “I thought your name was Sunaru?”

I smiled. “That’s my Sailor name. Rumika’s my real name. I hate it.”

James looked at us. “Do all of you have different names?” he asked.

I nodded. “Introduce yourselves, guys!”

Otulp walked up and bowed. “I’m Nanako”, she said.

Nruntas jumped up. “I’m Monda! My father was Mondu! Explains my energy, huh?” she giggled.

James and Jessie shot nervous glances.

“Stuck in a sugar high all the time is hereditary? I didn’t know that," Jessie said. James just shrugged.

Sram did a flip. “I’m Reinee. Isn’t it pretty? I was named after my mother.”

Retiruj kicked the air. “I’m Makato! It means something about trees. Heck if I know," she said in a harsh and fierce tone.

Senuv played with her hair. “I’m Minako. It’s my mother’s name. But she likes to be called Mina. Don’t call me that.”

Yrucrem looked up from her book. “I’m Ima. It’s my mother’s name backwards. Clever, huh?” she asked sweetly.

“That’s all of us except...“ I started, but was cut of by three meows. Then a fourth one. Luna, a black cat, and her husband, Artemis, a white cat, walked up to us. Their daughter, Diana, a pink cat, strolled behind them. Then their was Moonbeam. She’s Luna’s niece from Uranus, which is why I got her. All four had Crescent Moon’s on their heads. Jessie squealed. It’s a well known fact that she loves cats. She bent down and pet Diana, her being just a kitten, the rest full grown. diana purred, not knowing better than to act like a normal cat.

“So, I’m a King?”, James asked.

I shook my head. “Just a Prince. And soon, Sailor Crescent Moon," I told him.

He stared at me in shock. “A Sailor? Like you? Geez! just when life gets easy," he trailed off.

Jessie hugged him protectivly and asked, “He won’t be in danger, will he? If so, I won’t let him join.”

Luna shook her head and said, “Danger is involved, but he’ll have power to protect him. And his friends.”

Her gold crescent moon glew, and an image flickered in the air.

“Like Senshi Mercury...”, an image of a red headed girl, about twelve, in a Sailor suit that was blue and green.

“That’s one of the twerps! Misty, I think," Meowth said.

Luna went on, “And Senshi Mars...”

An image of a red haired girl whose hair shot out behind her was in a red and pink Sailor suit. She had blue eyes that were cold as ice.

“That’s Jessie!” James yelped.

“And Senshi Jupiter...” A girl with black hair that was kind of short and brown eyes stood in a green and yellow Sailor suit. She had freckles just under her eyes.

“It can’t be! Is that Ash?” Jessie asked in shock, “Why is he a girl?”

Luna meowed, “All Scouts are girls, like the Starlights, if you’re a boy, you turn into a girl in transformation.”

James got a sweatdrop. “Does that mean I’m gonna be...?”

Artemis nodded shyly. “You’re a cute one, too...”, he said.

James just growled quietly.

“Senshi Venus will be an allie...”, Luna said, showing an image of a girl, very simaliar to Jessie, except her hair was in ringlets, and she wore a yellow and orange Scout uniform.

“That can’t be who I think it is....”, James said, looking scared.

“Her Earth name is Jezebel”, Luna told him.

He simply buried his head on Jessie’s shoulder. She patted his back.

“She won’t get you, James," she whispered.

“And, James, you shall be their Leader, Sailor Crescent Moon!” Artemis yelled, while Luna did a flip in the air, releasing a Crescent Moon Locket. It was gold and held a gold crystal deep inside it. On the cover, roses decorated it.

“Hold this up and say ‘Crescent Moon Power!” Luna instructed.

James took the locket.

“Aren’t lockets for girls?” he asked.

Luna replied, “Hide it in your shirt, or something. Now transform.”

James raised his new accessory high in the air.

“Crescent Moon Power!”

The cover disolved, reveling the inside crystal, and a strange blue light emmited from it. He glowed pink and green, with dash of blue as he transformed. That is, if ‘he’ was the right word for the situation. As he transformed, his hair grew to the middle of his legs, and was tied in a form of Odangas, like Sailor Moon's, only braided and lavender. They did have the Meatballs at the top, though. ‘He’ raised his arms above his head, and blue ribbons surrounded, both of ‘his’ arms, finally forming white gloves trimmed with blue. The same happened to ‘his’ legs, but they were idetical to sailor Moons’, but instead of red boots, they were blue! ‘His’ Sailor suit formed in a flash of white light. ‘His’ skirt was extended from ‘his’ body, but instead of blue, like Sailor moons’, it was red. ‘His’ bows, the one in the front blue, in the back, red, appeared while ‘his’ skirt did. The locket ‘he’ used to transform sat firmly in the middle of ‘his’ front bow. Now ‘his’ tiara appeared, a blue crystal in the middle. Then ‘his’ coverings for ‘his’ odangas came, also blue. All together, ‘he’ was Sailor Moon, colors reversed. ‘His’ pose was exactly like Sailor Moons’, except in ‘his’ right hand ‘he’ held a rose.

“You’re a babe!” Meowth commented.

James (Jamie?) growled at him, “Knock it off!”

Then she quickly covered her mouth. Her voice was higher pitched than usual, being that she was now a girl.

“Ah (that means I) sound like Jezebel! Team Rocket’ll neva be tha same!”

Jessie muffled back giggles and I shot an evil glance at her to quiet down. She tried, but failed.

“Stop that! That isn’t funny! Oh, what happened ta mah voice?!” she yelled.

Meowth was now on his back and rolling with laughter.

“Luna, why do Ah sound thas way?” Sailor Crescent Moon asked.

Luna looked up at her. “You’re Southern, correct?”

Crescent Moon nodded.

“That’s why. You’re a Southern Belle.”

James’ now girl face turned beet red, and I had to admit, she was very pretty. She had James’ familiar green eyes, only larger and cuter, and had eyelashes that were visible. A trace of pink lipstick was on her lips, and suited her female figure quite well. She was quite thin, not sickening thin, but just enough. I now noticed her blue Crescent moon earrings for the first time, and they complimented her very well. She had a red chocker on and a gold Crescent Moon was on it. Very pretty.

“Why me? And why do Ah have ta sound like her, of all people?”

Luna shook her head and groaned. “It’s Serena all over again”, she murmered.

Suddenly, we heard laughing from behind us. We turned and saw Malachite. I heard about him when my mother told me of the time Princess Serena destroyed the Queen Beryle. He was pure evil.

“Where’s Sailor Moon? She has the Silver Crystal, no?” he laughed.

Then he turned toward Sailor Crescent Moon, “A new scout, I see. She’s cuter than the last ones. Probably a wimp, like the others.”

He smiled wickedly. Then he shot a blast from his hand at us. James dodged and the rest of us were injured.

“Sailor Crescent Moon... you must fight...” Luna said weakly.

She nodded. “This is fah callin’ me cute!” she yelled as she jumped to hit him.

He simply evaporated and reappeared again in a different spot. “Oooo, a Southrener! I’m scared. Come and get me, Cutie!”

She growled more, and as far as I could see, her earings began to glow. I think she noticed too, because she reached for them, while yelling, “Moon Ninja Stars....”

She pulled them off and they largened in size, more than double. They resembled throwing stars. She held them out in front of her.

“Neo Cut!”

The stars shot out and hit malachites’ face, cutting him badly. Sailor Crescent Moon stared in disbelief.

“Ah did that? Wow! Too cool! Ah’m stronger than Ah thought Ah was!”

She giggled a little, until Malachite stood up and shook the shock of getting hurt off. He smiled at James’ female form. She returned the look with one of pure hatred.

“So, you do have spunk. Fair enough. You play with the Big Boys, you have to learn... AUUGH!”

Malachite cringed in pain at what hit him. It was Prince Endymion, under an evil spell.

“You fool! Can’t you see she’s the holder of the Moon Diamond!? Just look at her locket!”

Malachite looked wearily up to see Crescent Moon’s locket. Sure enough, that was it.

“She’s better than I thought! Well...” Malachite stood up and stood just inches from Crescent Moon.

She stood proudly, not flinching at his evil as I was.

Malachite said to Crescent Moon, “Well, my Dear. It seems like we’ll be parting. Too bad. I was beginning to like you.”

Then he grabbed Sailor Crescent Moon and kissed her roughly. She fought the kiss to no avail. Jessie made a really strange growling noise that sounded like a mix of jealousy and giggles. Malachite teleported away, leaving a fallen Crescent Moon, wiping her mouth and spitting out what remained of the kiss.

“How gross! Ah just hope he neva tries that again!” she yelled.

Luna shook her head sadly. “I thought maybe he got over her by now...” she said.

We all looked at Luna for answers, and she gave us them.

“On the Moon Kingdom, which I will explain in more detail later. James, Malachite was in love with two girls at once. Zoicite, an evil commander, and the Sailor scout Crescent Moon. The Lord only knows when or how this happened, but it did. He never knew that she was, in reality, a boy, and probably doesn’t care. He’ll make you stay in Princess Scout form, and try to marry you, now that Zoicite’s dead.”

James gagged, “But Ah’m a guy! Besides, Ah love Jes...”

She quickly stopped herself and blushed with embarrasment.

“Well, Lovaboy, who’s the lucky gal? Jessie?” Meowth teased.

When he saw James’ face go redder, he laughed and said, “I bet it is! I bet you love Jessie! I bet you can’t wait to kiss her!”

Jessie growled at Meowth that seemed to say, ‘Shut up!’

James just blushed.

“Well, seems like you’ll be protecting Earth for a while, Crescent Moon”, Luna said, motioning behind herself.

There were the Five Inner Scouts, all lined up on the ground. They appeared to be fainted. Artemis nodded sadly and licked a blonde haired girl’s face. In her hair was a red bow and she wore an orange and blue Sailor suit. It was Sailor Venus. Her real name was Mina and Artemis was her cat. Luna nuzzled against another blonde, quietly crying. The girl wore a red and blue Sailor suit and in her hands was a locket in the shape of a star. Faint, but beautiful, music emmited from it. Next to her was a pink stick with a crescent moon on the top.

“It was a present from your mother, James, to Queen Serenity. That’s why it’s called the Crescent Moon wand," Luna sobbed.

“What happened?” Jessie asked.

I wondered the same thing until I saw the familiar bite marks on their necks.

“Vampira...”, I said in horror.

Vampira was a Negaverse Golbat. She belonged to Malachite, and that’s why he figured we had the Silver Crystal. Sailor Moon didn’t have it. That thing was evil. Both Malachite and Vampira. The Negaverse had very few Pokemon, but they did have them.

“Oh, Serena... I hope you’ll be okay...” Luna sobbed.

Artemis licked all the Scout faces and broke down and cried as he saw his fallen master. Mercury, her blue hair softly blowing in the breeze, held a book in her hands. Mars had a Charm sticker in her hand, ready to use. Probably to fight Vampira. Venus had her arm above her head and two of the fingers were pointed. She went down fighting. Jupiter had faint scratches on her body. Her Jupiter Rod that came from her tiara was ready to absorb the electricity it never got. I bent down to study them. They had pulses, barely. Luna looked at me desperatly, as did the others.

“They need a lot of rest, a few days out cold, but they’ll be fine, with the proper care”, I said to them.

Luna visibly relaxed. Artemis sighed loudly.

“I guess Ah’m the Earth’s only defender, now. No problem, Ah can do it!”, Sailor Crescent Moon shouted.

‘Maybe he’ll succeed, maybe he won’t. Who knows...’ I thought.

That’s it! How’s my fic, y’all? Mail me at Rumika48@aol.com. Please? Well, I’m planning on making this a series. If I don’t get good feedback, then I can’t. What’ll be the point?
