**BSSE will have 52 episodes, plus specials, based on the manga, not the anime. However, their will be some anime influences.**

Once upon a time, in a time long gone, their was a kingdom upon the Moon. That kingdom was a place of peace and harmony, ruled by the wise, kindly Queen Selene, who would one day be followed by the elder of her two daughters, also named Selene.
The Kingdom of the Moon led the planets of the Solar System in the Silver Eclipse Millenium. However, darkness always tries to consume light, and it did just that. The Kingdom of the Moon was destroyed, but was given another chance. Hecate, the younger daughter, destroyed the evil that had possessed her sister, and then all of the Moon Kingdom were reborn upon the Earth, millenia later.
But somehow the darkness followed...

Lying peacefully in bed, covered by a deep blue blanket with silver cresent moons, the girl had long, wavy unbound silver hair. "Miyage-chan! It's past eight!" A voice cried from downstairs. "You're going to be late for school!"
The girl, Miyage, merely turned over in her sleep, quite content. The door opened, and a woman with wavy dark blue hair and blue eyes walked in. She shook her head sadly, "She's never late like this..." The woman, obviously Miyage's mother, said quietly as she walked over to the bed. "Miyage-chan!" She cried, irritation in her voise. But still, their was no reaction from the girl in bed. So, frowning, the woman pulled the covers off of her daughter harshly. It seems to have the desired effect. The girls eyes opened, albeit reluctantly.
"Mother..." She whispered, sleepilly, as she sat up, stifling a yawn.
"It's past 8 o'clock, Miyage-chan!"
"Miyage's deep blue eyes widen in shock, "No way!"
"Yes way!" Her mother retorted, as she turned around, and started to leave the room. "So get ready!"
By the time her mother left the room, Miyage had, in a blur of motion, shed her pajama's and slipped into her school uniform, blue with a red bow. She brushed her teeth in the bathroom, then shot down stairs in an explosion of motion.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" She wailed, as she snatched her lunch from her mother. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier!!" she cried, as she grabbed her bag, slipped on her shoes, and shot from the house.

Hi! I'm Tsukino Miyage! I'm fourteen and in eighth grade at Juuban Junior High.

"I don't know what's wrong with me!" Miyage cried as she ran. "Why did I sleep in today...?! I've NEVER been late before!"
And that was the truth. Not once in her fourteen years had she been late to school.
She stopped suddenly, as she tripped, and fell to the ground. "Itai!" She cried in pain, clutching her knee. It throbbed with pain. She turned around, from where she sat, to see what she hit. And practically broke into tears. "A cat! Oh my god!" She shot up, and picked the prone feline up. "I'm so sorry!" She cried, "Are you all right?" The cat, though wobbly, meowed. Miyage smiled, "You're all right! That's great." Then, she caught sight of something quite strange. The cat had a pair of bandaids on it's forehead like an 'X'. "What is this for?" She asked, as she gently peeled it off.
But, before she could see what it was, the cat leapt away, using her head as a spring. She turned around, and felt it's deep blue eyes on her own. Their was something on the cats forehead... A silver cresent moon. she stared in awe...
...And then the bell rang. Miyage screamed in shock, as she turned, and fled into the school.
"I can't believe I'm late!!! I'm in so much trouble!"

As she slowly entered her classroom, she heard her teacher's voice call out her name. "Tsukino Miyage-san! You're late?" She was as surprised as Miyage was.
"Hai, sensei." Miyage murmured.
"Tsukino-san, I hate to do this... But you must stand out in the hall."

Miyage was so depressed, "If I hadn't stopped to make sure the cat was okay, I wouldn't be late!" She felt like she was going to cry. "I'm being punished for doing a good deed!"

'Chieno-sensei is my teacher, Chieno Karimi-san. She's always been so nice to me...'

...Miyage stared in pure shock at the test paper. The score, circled in red, was a ... 45.
"You haven't been focusing lately, Tsukino-san. Is everything all right?" Chieno-sensei asked, she sounded purely concerned for the girl. "Hai, sensei... I'm fine..." Miyage murmured, as she nodded. "I just can't believe this..."
"A 45?!" a girl, with short blond hair and green eyes, said, as she walked up. She didn't sound like she believed her own words. "What happened, Miyage-chan?!"
"I don't know..."

'Kane Uta is my best friend, we've been together for years.'

"Mother... She's going to be so dissapointed." Moyage cried, on the verge of tears.
"Why's that, Miyage-san?" A boy, with short brown hair, and green eyes, asked as he walked up. Miyage sighed,
"It's none of your business!"

'Joho Takai is the class nerd, and he has a crush on ME!'

"Really? I got a 95, and I didn't even have to study. It was a breeze!"
"A 95!" Miyage wailed. "I got a lowed score than JOHO! This can't be happening..." She really felt like she was going to cry, as she took a deep breath. "Don't you say a word, Joho-kun!" She cried, as Uta patted her on the back.
"It'll be allright, Miyage-chan..." Hey, I have a great idea!"
"What, Uta-chan?"
"My mom's having a GREAT sale at her jewelry store, we HAVE to go!" Miyage nodded,
"Let's go!" The two ran off, and Joho sighed.
"Girls..."

"Wow, Uta-chan! Look at that!" Miyage, Uta next to her, pointed into the window display. There were so many people there, but the two managed to get in. "What a sale!" Miyage cheered. She rushed over to the counter.. "Look! A 10 Karat diamond for 100 YEN!!!" She sighed, "I wish I had money..." Uta nodded,
"Me too!"

Uta's mother smiled, a cruel, evil smile. Her pale blond hair, clasped to the side, and deep green eyes marked her as a beauty... But her smile... "By selling these special energy draining jewels, I'll be able to gather all the energy that I need..." Her smile softened, as she grinned, "Give me more energy..."

"Mom!" Uta chriped, giving the older woman a hug. Though shocked at first, she hugged her daughter in turn.
"Uta-chan, welcome home." she says with a smile. "Is this Miyage-chan I see?" She asks with a pretty smile. "Come in, come in, Miyage-chan. Since you're Uta-chan's best friend, I'll give you a little bonus." With another smile, she walked away.
Uta grinned. "Mom's never had a sale before... This is so refreshing!"
"Wow... She's so pretty." Miyage murmured. Uta nodded,
"I hope I'm as pretty as her one day..." Miyage grinned,
"You already are!" She said, and Uta blushed,
"Miyage-chan!"
"Well, I'm going to go now... Got to break the news to mom." Uta nodded,
"See you later, Miyage-chan!"

Miyage walked out of the school, a depressed look on her face. with a sigh, she crumpled the paper. "Mom and dad don't have to know about this..." She tossed the paper over her shoulder, and stopped suddenly when she heard a voice,
"Thanks alot, odango atama." She swirled around, and gasped. "You hit me right in the face... I must say, good aim." He grinned, "Why don't you try the waste basket next time."
She shook the blush that came to her face away, "How dare you call me odango atama!" She stopped suddenly, HE WAS LOOKING AT HER TEST!!!
"A 45?" He asked, as he shook his head. "Let me take back my compliment... You must be pretty stupid to get a 45."
Her eyes widened in anger, as she snatched the paper from him. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! Leave me alone!" She cried, as she stormed away, then stopped suddenly again. She finally got a good look at him.
With his short black hair, his blackk shades, and his black tuxedo, he cut an extreme figure.
*He think's he's so hot... Oh, look at that tuxedo...* she felt a blush rise to her cheeks, almost unconsciously. *He is cute...* Then, she turned away, and began the long, long walk home.

The tuxedo-clad man, who had so recently tormented Miyage, slipped off his sunglasses, revealing his deep blue eyes. "Hmm..." He murmured. "This store is rather large. Maybe I will find it here... The Illusion Silver Crystal."

Miyage sighed, "How depressing... I can't show mom my quiz. She'll be so sad..." Her eyes fell on the arcade, and she saw a poster.
"Sailor A Fighter! The hottest action game ever!"
"Sailor A? I wonder who she is?" She sighed. "She's got to have it better than me, whoever she is... She's got it made!" Miyage smiled wistfully. "She doesn't have to worry about being late, or having to study! All she has to do is round up the bad guys!"
She took a step to the side, and looked into the arcade. The Sailor A game was free. "Hmmm... One little game won't hurt..."

"Wow!" Miyage exclaimed. "This game is hard!" Her hands were a blur, as she played the new game. "This really is good!"
"Miyage-chan!" She heard a voice behind her. "Decided to try the new Sailor A game?" The speaker walked over, "How's the game?" He asked.

'This guy is the best... He works at the arcade. His name's Mikikara Mitsuru... I've had a crush on him forever! He's so nice...'

"Meow!"
Miyage looked down in surprise. It was the cat she had tripped over earlier that day! "Hey! You're the cat I-" She stopped suddenly. "I wonder why you're here...?"
Mitsuru glanced down. "Hmmm... That cat's been here alot lately."
"Really?" Miyage grinned. "Wanna play a game, kitty?"
"Cute, Miyage-chan." Mitsuru grinned.
Miyage smiled, "She's got the cutest silver cresent moon on her forehead!" She grimaced, the cat was just STARING at her. It was eery... "Well, um, I goota get going! Ja, Mistsuru-san!" She cried, as she stood and ran from the arcade.

"I'm home!" Miyage announced, as she came in the door. She set her bag down, and prayed her mother wasn't home, as she slipped out of her shoes. She sighed, she'd have no such luck...
"You're late, Miyage-chan. How was your day?" Her mother asked, with a gentle voice. Miyage sighed, and handed her the crumpled math test. She took it, and Miyage waited for the worst...
"What happened, dear?" Her mother asked, and Miyage replied,
"I don't know, mom... I studied. I..." She sniffled, and her mother pulled her into a hug.
"Don't worry, dear. It's only one grade... You've seemed so stressed lately, why don't you go take a nap?" Miyage smiled, as she hugged her mother tightly.
"Thanks, mom..."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Uta's mother giggled. "I've sold enough gems... Now, to bring in all of the energy..." The gem she held began to pule with energy...
"Mom?" Uta asked, as she gently walked into the room. Her mother twirled around to face her, an evil grin on her face.

Miyage sighed, "I really must be stressed out... I'm so tired!" She flopped down onto the bed, and picked up her school books. "Maybe I should do my homework..." She yawned, and shook her head as she set the books down. "No, I think mom's right." She layed down, and closed her eyes. "A nap sounds just right..." And then she was asleep...

...A face loomed over her, a black furred face with deep blue eyes, and a shining silver moon on it's forehead...

Miyage sat up suddenly, and shook her head. "What a weird dream, why was I dreaming about that cat...?"
"That's not important, Miyage-chan..." A new voice said. Miyage turned her gaze to the end of her bed... Sitting there was the cresent moon cat...
And then it hit her. "You're a cat..." Miyage eeped, "And you talked!"
The cat sighed, "Please, Miyage-chan. We have something far more important to discuss."
She gulped, "He he he... What do you mean, kitty?"
I am Luna," said the cat. "I have been searching for you, Miyage-chan..."
"For me...?" Miyage asked, her voice shaking with surprise.
"Yes, for you... And I'd like to thank you, for removing that bandaid. While it was on, I couldn't talk, and my detection ability didn't work well. The kids around here are real brats... They're the ones who put that bandaid on me. I'm glad I met you. If I didn't find you, I don't know what I would have done... I couldn't investigate, or anything..."
Miyage smiled, "Hey, no problem. It was my my pleasure..."
"Now, this is for you... A present so to say..." She did a double back flip, and landed. As she did so, a locket appeared, and fell to the bed.
She gently picked it up, "It's so beautiful..." She said, as she turned it over in her hands. It was round, the majority of it was pale, almost translucent like a moonstone, white, with a silver cresent with delicate etchings at the bottom. In the curve of the cresent, their was a gold round circle, with a silver star on it. Around the main sphere, their was four smaller spheres. Red on top, blue on bottom, yellow on the left, and green on the right.
She put it on, as she admired it in the mirror. "So beautiful..." "Is this really for me?" She asked, and Luna nodded.
"Now, Miyage-chan, you must listen..." The girl nodded, "Have you noticed the strange occurences going on around town lately?" The cat asked, and Miyage shook her head.
"Not really..." Miyage replied.
"Well, here is the story... Theirs been alot of unsolved crimes, in the papers and on the news..."
"Unsolved crimes...?" Miyage murmured.
"You see, Miyage-chan, you..."
"Me...?"
"You are the chosen warrior, Miyage-chan! You have a mission, to find the other warriors and defeat the enemies." She stopped momentarilly, "But, most important of all, you must protect the Princess!"
Miyage began to speak, when her brooch began to glow. "Luna!" she cried.
"Now is the time to fight, Miyage-chan!" The cat called. "Shout, 'Moon Prism Power, Make Up!'"
Miyage nodded, "You've been right so far... Moon Prism Power, Make Up!" In a flash of light, she was left transformed, in a sailor fuku that was blue, with dark purple bows and choker. She wore the brooch, which secured the front bow, and their was a golden tiara on her forehead. "What is this...?" Miyage murmured.
"Miyage-chan, you are Sailormoon! You must save your friend, Uta-chan! She's in danger!"
Miyage, Sailormoon, nodded. "I believe you! We have to help her!"

"For one, little girl..." Uta's mother cried. "I'm not your mother!" Her features twisted. "Maybe if you're good you can join her..." The woman laughed evilly,
"No! Mom!" Uta wailed, tears in her eyes.

A man, in a tuxedo and top hat, his features hidden behind a white mask, watched it all, waiting...

Suddenly, the doors were thrown open, as Miyage, transformed, and Luna ran in.
"Leave my friend alone, you monster!" She cried. The hidden man, and the woman were shocked.
"Who are you?!" The woman shrieked.
Miyage grinned, "I worked on this on the way here... For love and justice, I am the sailor suited pretty soldier, Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"
"Sailormoon!?" The woman laughed. "I've never heard of you!"
"We'll, you're going to be hearing alot about me now, you witch!"
"Ha!" The woman laughed, "Awaken, slaves!" Black energy swirled around her, "Awaken and come to my aid!"

Around town, all the women and girls who had bought jewelry, awoken and headed to the boutique in a trance... "Kill her..."

"You will die now, Sailormoon!" The woman hissed, as her slaves arrived. Sailormoon backed away.
"Luna!" She cried. "What can I do?!"
"Defeat her, Miyage-chan!"
Miyage gained a sweatdrop, "I know THAT, Luna! But how?!" She backed up again, and began to cry softly. "I don't like this..."
"Sailormoon!" A warm, somehow familiar voice called. "Do not cry! You must have faith!" A man, a handsome man in a tuxedo cried. Sailormoon nodded,
"I must have faith..."
Luna, who had jumped down, cried up at her. "Miyage-chan! He's right! Use your tiara, and shout Moon Tiara Action!"
"Right!" She nodded, as she removed her tiara. "Moon Tiara Action!" She cried, as she threw the tiara, which had become a discus of light. It hit the woman, who faded disentigrated. The slaves all fell to the ground, unconscious. "I did it!" Miyage cheered.
"That you did, Sailormoon." The mysterious man cried. "I may not have found the Illusion Silver Crystal... But I found something even more valuable..."
She heard a flutter above her, a man, the handsome man... She sighed, "His voice is so familiar..."
"I am Midnightkamen, Sailormoon... And I won't forget you..." And then he was gone. She watched after him, a blush on her cheeks.
"Oh, he was so handsome..."
"Miyage-chan!" Luna cried. "You did so well! I'm proud of you!"
She nodded, "Thank you... Oh Luna, who is he...?"
"We'll find that out later, Miyage-chan. Let's go home now."
"Sure..." She murmured wistfully, and reluctantly she left...

A man with short white hair, and piercing grey eyes, grimaced. "Sailormoon... She may be a problem..."

The next day at school, Uta had told everyone about her encounter the night before. "Sailor A's partner saved me and my mom! It was great!"
"Oh Uta-chan!"
"You're such a dreamer!"
Miyage, however, had a knowing smile on her face, and Luna in her arms. The brooch on her bow sparkled, as she looked up into the sky.
"That was me last night..." She smiled brightly, as the wind blew her hair.
