Author's Notes: Well...I just got bored and started writing this. I guess it goes in the Friends Forever 
series considering it has the same characters. I have no idea where I'm planning to go with it, I just 
started writing. So I guess we'll all see together! I'd like your input!

New Earth: Prologue
By Tisha
Time: One year after the birth of Crystal Tokyo
	
	The jolt was felt throughout not only the palace, but the entire city. Everyone snapped into 
action. They all knew it was destined to happen sometime. Crystal Tokyo was meant to give earth a 
new start, but it was certain to be attacked, just as it always had been. The nine senshi gathered in the 
huge throne room of the palace. 

	"I guess this means it's time for us to transform." Haruka looked around the group. They all 
knew that they would have to be transformed all the time to protect the palace and it's king and 
queen. "I might as well go first." She pulled out her transformation pen, long kept in a safe place, and 
stuck it into the air. "Uranus Star Power."

	Nothing happened. No power, no fuku, she was still Haruka. "What the..."

	The others all tried as well, but it was the same thing for each of them. Endymion came from 
the other room. "Someone dropped some sort of bomb outside the city. We can't trace them, looks 
like they're gone." Luna and Artemis followed him into the room.

	"What's wrong?" Luna noticed the helpless looks on their faces.

	Serenity looked at her sadly. "We can't transform." She looked over at Pluto. "Do you know 
why?"

	Pluto looked into the eyes of her queen and nodded. "We are no longer the senshi needed to 
protect this earth. We are still here to protect you, with our hands. But the new generation of senshi 
must protect Small Lady as well as the earth. They now have the power."

	"But you're transformed."

	Pluto looked down at her fuku. "I think it's because I still have to look after the gate. But I felt 
the power leave my body a few weeks ago. I didn't want to tell you until there was a reason to."

	The nine exchanged looks. Most of them dreaded the very idea. The new generation was 
going to be vastly different than the old one. The five children who made up the new senshi ranged 
eight years in age. Rei looked at Ami. "But Michiko is only eleven."

	Ami nodded, the same worries filling her. Her own daughter, Kita, was only eleven as well, 
although she would be twelve in a few months. Michiko had just turned eleven, making her the 
youngest of all the girls. The oldest being Takara, at age nineteen. 

	"But what about when we came to the future, and we were making the force field for the 
palace?" Minako asked anyone who knew an answer.

	Pluto nodded. "Small Lady was five at the time. Now she is sixteen. This future is different 
than that one. Small Lady, Kita, Michiko, Naomi and Takara will now take over our places. We need to 
start training them right away. Hopefully they'll be ready to battle by the time this thing, whatever it is, 
shows itself."

	The others nodded. Their children had always known about the alter-identities of their 
mothers, but they still had the normal lives of children. None of them wanted to have to take that 
away from their kids, but knew that they would have to. The five young women were now the new 
hope for the new earth.
