You tiptoed into Usagi’s messy room, careful not to step on the scattered schoolbooks, crumpled papers, or… was that a half-eaten rice ball under her desk? Gross.
Your mission was simple: steal her last piece of candy before she could eat it herself. She always hid her snacks in the same place—her desk drawer. With a smug grin, you quietly slid it open.
Jackpot.
Just as you reached for the candy, you heard footsteps pounding up the stairs. Usagi. You barely had time to react before she burst into the room, slamming the door behind her, panting like she’d just run a marathon.
“Okay, Luna, I—huh? What are you doing here?!” she snapped, eyes narrowing.
You froze, holding the stolen candy behind your back. “Uh… nothing?”
Before Usagi could yell at you, her talking black cat, Luna, suddenly leaped onto her desk. “Usagi, there’s no time! You have to transform now!”
Your jaw dropped. “Wait. What?”
Before you could question why a cat was talking, Usagi held up a glowing brooch. “Moon Prism Power… Make Up!”
A brilliant light exploded around her, forcing you to shield your eyes. Ribbons of energy wrapped around her body, her clothes melting away into shimmering magic as her iconic sailor uniform formed in its place. Her long blonde pigtails whipped in the air, shining like pure gold.
Your heart pounded. “WHAT THE—?!”
When the light faded, Usagi—no, Sailor Moon—stood before you, striking a dramatic pose. “I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice! And in the name of the moon, I will—”
She suddenly froze, eyes locking onto your stunned face.
A heavy silence filled the room.
You blinked. She blinked.
Then, at the exact same time, you both screamed.
