Foreword: Some Japanese words are used throughout this story. For your convenience, I have included a concise glossary at the end. The words will be listed in the order they appear. Also note that this is in a alternate universe and our favorite senshi are no longer senshi, just normal people. You don't really have to know about Sailor Moon to understand this story.
“Nani?” she questioned breathlessly as she peered into the basin. Before her lay the clearest liquid that she had ever laid crystal-blue eyes on. Usagi timidly outstretched an arm and touched the liquid hesitantly. “Hiebie!” she exclaimed as the hand darted back to her side. She peered around the room for a moment trying to locate her friends. “Ami-chan? Rei-chan? Mako-chan? Minako-chan?” Usagi had called at the top of her lungs; there was no response. She fought back tears as she slumped onto the floor with her back to the basin.
After a few minutes of sitting, she began to realize how thirsty she was. Standing again, she cupped her hands and scooped some of the liquid to her parched lips. As it ran down her throat, her body was drained of all thought and feeling and she drifted off into as deep a slumber as this world has ever known.

Usagi woke with a start. Little blue eyes blinked opened and saw a young woman of twenty or so. “Tsukino-san, daijoubu?” The young woman asked as she helped Usagi up. “Anata wa Hirna-sensai desu ka?” Usagi questioned in disbelief. She, Usagi, was back in Prep. School! “Hai, Tsukino-san,” replied Hirna-sensai, “I will have Pirea-san take you to the infirmary, and you should also call your mother.” Usagi nodded slightly as she followed Pirea Amina in a dazed fashion out the door.
After passing a few classrooms and walking a through a few hallways, Usagi parted from Pirea-san and entered the clinic. She was poked and prodded and peered at for a few minutes before being OK’d to go back to class. She walked slowly back to class, so slow that she was trampled by a herd of six-year-olds. She landed with a thump. Everything was blurry... blurry... then black.

Usagi woke again, but this time there were four faces peering at her. They were easily recognizable as Mako, Minako, Ami, and Rei… but something was wrong. “Nani! We’re all… young!” Usagi exclaimed. “Hai,” Ami replied, “the only explanation is that by some way we have stumbled onto the ‘fountain of youth’. According to my calculations, if we continue to decrease in age at this rate, we will cease to exist in 4.7525479062 hours!”
Usagi started bawling. “I don’t want to cease to exist! Ami-chan, how do we stop it?” Ami thought for a few moments before responding, “There might be a way… but we would need to locate ChibiUsa-chan.”
To be continued…
