A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 50

Now Usagi was cross. "Hey! Is it okay for a teacher to be saying such things?!" she snapped. "You're gonna damage my self-esteem here!"

Then there was trouble. Usagi was so cross that she lost her balance with the pail on top of her head. Before she could stop it from happening, it fell right off, splashing water all over Ms. Haruna. The woman was now completely soaked from head to toe. Ami, Usagi, and the other students from inside the classroom were frozen with horror as Ms. Haruna's anger had reached the breaking point.

"MS. TSUKINO!" she shrieked.

All Usagi could do was bow in repentance. "S-Sorry, Ms. Haruna," she spoke meekly.

Harusuke, from inside the classroom, could only shake his head as he pinched his nose. "That's Usagi for you," he groaned. "Whenever she gets in trouble, she always finds a way to make it worse."

That night, everyone in Juuban was fast asleep. Usagi was sleeping peacefully in her bed as Luna slept next to her. The two were sleeping peacefully, but their sleep would soon be interrupted. At that moment, a brilliant flash of light shone through the window, followed by a loud crash that shook the entire neighborhood. Usagi and Luna both woke up with a start.

"What the heck was that?!" cried Usagi. "An Earthquake?!"

Luna wasn't very sure, but she knew one thing. It couldn't have been a good thing.

In the middle of Downtown Juuban, just in a vacant parking lot, there was an enormous crater, and in the middle of it was a giant meteor. It was huge and green in appearance and looked like the seed of a tree. However, it was very much alive, pulsing and squirming like flesh. Then it began to float, going high into the air, looking around for a place to nest. Then it saw an apartment complex not too far away from it. It immediately flew over to the building and went from room to room until it came across an empty room. After making sure that no one was there, it went inside, finding its place to call home.

Back at the crater, a large crowd of people had formed around it, wondering what could have possibly fallen from the sky to cause something like it. Usagi and Harusuke were also there, not believing their eyes.

"Check it out, Harusuke! That thing is huge!" gasped Usagi.

"No, kidding," agreed Harusuke. "I wonder what could have caused a crater this big?"

Then Ami came up beside them. "Usagi. Harusuke. Good evening," she greeted.

"Well, what do you know. Even a girl genius like you is curious about stuff like this, Ami," smiled Usagi. "And here I thought you'd-"

Then Usagi was interrupted by someone bumping into her causing her to stumble forward. She was just about to yell at the person that shoved her, but then she stopped. Standing behind her was none other than Makoto, who had just arrived.

"Sorry about that," apologized Makoto. "Someone behind me was pushing."

"I know you," gulped Usagi. "You're that giant girl who just transferred to our school, right?"

Makoto's eyes narrowed. "You don't need to call me a giant," she huffed.

"Usagi, don't be rude to Makoto," Harusuke said. Then he spoke politely to the ponytailed brunette. "I apologize if my sister was rude. She always has a habit of saying things without thinking."
