Disclaimer: The characters in that wonderful anime/manga title, Sailor 

Moon, do NOT belong to me whatsoever (sadly… ~sigh~)! The amazingly 

clever Naoko Takeuchi may take all credit, so please, don't file 

any unneeded (totally unneeded!) lawsuits against me for simply 

"borrowing" these Sailor Moon people for my story!


Alternate Reality

By Sakura Girl


The young blonde slowly made her way to her little bench in the

 middle of the park. She carefully sat down upon the mahogany 

colored seat as she pulled out, yet another failing test paper. 

The fourteen-year-old girl let out an exasperated groan. 'My mom's 

going to ground me for at least a year!' she thought gloomily.

 Usually, failing such tests didn't really bother her much, she 

would simply just shrug it off at the arcade with an entire afternoon

 of Sailor V video games. However, this occasion was slightly 

different. Serena had actually APPLIED herself this time. She could 

easily recall studying for the stupid thing every night for one whole 

week!

Sure, there were times that she might have taken exaggerated 

snack breaks, or fallen asleep on the job or other like situations… 

But all in all, she had felt quite confident upon the exam date. What

 happened? As she let out another disappointed sigh, she suddenly 

noticed from the corner of her eye a rather strange looking figure 

heading towards her. The entire park was completely deserted, without

 any trace of any other human activity. Serena couldn't help feel 

slightly nervous about the approaching figure. What if he was some 

crazy deranged person out to hurt little girls? What if he was 

actually a mugger? What if…what if, all these wild and crazy thoughts 

raced around Serena's nervous little brain. She briskly gathered up 

her things and tried to high tail it out of the abandoned park.

However, the so-called mugger/sicko/whatever just kept following the 

scared little blonde. Finally, Serena boldly decided to face her

 fears. "Okay, mister! Quit following me around, I don't know what 

you're up to, but I'll bet it's no good! Just…just go, and leave 

me alone!" she stuttered to the figure hurriedly. When she finally 

gathered up her courage to face the person. Her pretty, blue eyes

 quickly widened in absolute, complete horror! Her screams could 

probably be heard all the way from Japan to China…

The mysterious, menacing-looking black blob wasn't like anything 

she had seen before. It definitely wasn't human, that was for sure!

 However, she couldn't quite classify it as any creature or animal 

she had ever seen before either. In fact, it resembled something that 

of a vortex thing or time warp that one could often find on 

sci-fi shows. Suddenly, the thing lurched forward and Serena 

felt a strong, unbeatable force sucking her into the black hole. 

She screamed. Loud. But by the time the park's janitors had reached

 her, it was too late. The black hole had disappeared, and all that was

 left was a piece of paper marked in red, which lay peacefully on top

 of a little black book bag with a little silver buckle.

Serena groggily sat up from her spot upon the great, green field of

 grass. As her vision slowly came into better focus, her lapis-

colored eyes quickly took in the foreign scenery that lay in front of 

her. She let out a small gasp as she realized that she was no longer

 in the park, and in some other area of town. An area that she had 

never been to, she scurried about the vast field of grass and tiny, 

pink blossoms as she searched for her missing book bag. 'What exactly 

happened to it?' she thought worriedly. All she could recall from

 the occurrences that happened just a few minutes ago was the great

 black hole (which was now nowhere in sight, much to her relief) 

and the park setting. Serena simply just brushed the strange blackish

 vortex as a hallucination from too much stress from that stupid 

test, and the current predicament she was in as…well, this one left

 her clueless but she quickly directed her thoughts back to finding

 her school bag.

"Where is it?" she mumbled to no one in particular, her slender 

fingers digging through the tall grass as she tried to find the darned

 thing. Her mother should be worried sick by now! Usually, Serena 

would be home eating dinner by now… Instead, she was stuck in the

 middle of nowhere looking for her missing school bag and praying that

 her mother would be in a super good mood by the time she got back. 

Which led her to her next item to ponder about, "What time was it

 anyway?" She knew she probably stayed at the park for at least an 

hour before finding herself in this queer part of town. So it was 

probably near six or seven. 'But if it's evening time, why is the

 sun still shining so brightly as if the day had just begun? I mean, I'm

 no expert at astronomy, but I DO know that the sun's supposed to be 

setting right about now… Strange.' She mused quietly.

After about twenty more minutes of searching, she just gave up. 

"Argh! Why do these kinda things always have to happen to me?" she 

whined. But as she began a whimpering session towards an innocent

 little ladybug, Serena couldn't help but marvel at the beauty 

of her new surroundings. She didn't know that this kind of natural 

haven even existed, due to constant new businesses that often 

destroyed nearby forests and such just to build new office buildings 

or bigger warehouses. 'Well…as angry as mother's gonna be, I might

 as well enjoy myself while I'm here.' She grinned mischievously.

With that, she started to skip childishly across the open meadow and

 giggled like a six-year-old while she went. She hadn’t felt so much

 freedom and released from daily duties since the age of three. The

 cool, summer breeze that blew against her face felt so wonderful! 

She just kept running and running and running… Finally, out of breath,

 but very happily winded. Serena gingerly sat herself down on the soft

 green grass and just relaxed her mind from the worries it had been 

burdened with. As she unconsciously began to drift off into a peaceful

 slumber, Serena unfortunately, failed to notice the sinister-looking

 men that were approaching her just now. "Looks like we've got ourselves 

quite a find here…" the burliest of the three stated smugly. "Yeah 

boss, betcha we can find us quite a bargain for such young skin!"
