"Lousy game."  Serena had spent 10 dollars' worth of quarters on the machine and she was still no closer to beating it than when she first came in.  "Why is this stupid game so hard?"  She checked her pocket, and had to make a judgement call.  Ice cream won out.<br/><br/>Before she knew it she was rushing down the street to the ice cream stand.  The last little bit of change in her pocket afforded her a double scoop of strawberry ice cream.  Fumbling with her cell phone in one hand and trying to eat ice cream in the other, Serena texted Rei, "On my way, gonna be late."  She started heading toward Rei's place, but she was so engrossed in her ice cream and a cute animation she just downloaded on her phone that she missed the turn.  It was several minutes later before she even realized that she had gotten lost.  All around the houses looked a little larger and nicer than what she was used to.  "This... doesn't look like the right place."  She switched her phone back over to call up Rei in hopes she might know a little more about the area.  Just as Rei picked up, a gunshot went off, startling Serena enough to drop her phone.  She scrambled to catch the phone but it landed hard enough to knock the battery out.<br/>She looked around the neighborhood and saw a door wide open with a running car still parked in front.  She knew Japan wasn't crime-free.  A kidnapping in broad daylight?  She couldn't just stand by and let it happen... But Serena hadn't transformed in a long time now.  Ever since Chaos was defeated, the need for the Sailor Scouts had passed.  She still always kept her brooch with her; she just felt naked without it.  Plus, Luna always cautioned about leaving something so powerful unattended.  But she never thought she would need to use it again.  She sifted through her bag and grabbed her communicator, "Somebody's about to be kidnapped!  I'm going to stop it!"<br/><br/>She put her communicator away without waiting for a response and pressed her fingers to her brooch.  There wasn't a police box in sight, and though this was an upscale community, it wasn't gated.  Currently Sailor Moon was the only one who could help.  "I think... I may never get used to fighting..."  Without darkness there could be no hope, it was the choice she had made.<br/>"Moon Eternal Crystal Power! Make-up!"
