Sandy Comm sighed and glared at her house.
So, she thought. This will be my new home? Boy, does it BITE! "So, Sandy, what do you think of Dementerville? You're going to school tomorrow, you know." Mrs. Comm said.
Sandy groaned. "Moooom!!!!! Come on, let me adjust!"
"No, no, Sandy! You're getting an education, and I mean it! Now go unpack your things!"
"How am I ever going to get an education in this place?" Sandy muttered to herself, carrying something in a travel tank up the stairs. The occupant of this tank was a small, female Albino gerbil named Reepicheep. There was more to Reepicheep than what met the eye, for Reepicheep could talk and had taught Sandy Comm to be a great warrior; Sailor S.
Sandy Comm had discovered that she was a Sailor Scout when Reepicheep told her so. Sandy had lived in New York City with her mother and father. Whenever havoc reeked, Sandy would transform into Sailor S and save the city and the world. Sailor S was the most popular heroine and Sandy had often been scorned in school simply because she "dressed like Sailor S". However, Sandy's parents had divorced and Mrs. Comm wanted to back to Dementerville where she grew up in. Not only was this bad, and not only had Sandy heard of strange happening-ons in Dementerville, and not only had Reepicheep told her that the other Senshi were there, but Sandy's grandparents lived there- the annoying ones.
Sandy sighed and put Reepicheep down.
"What do you think, old girl?"
Reepicheep glared at Sandy. "First of all, Sandy, I am NOT old! I am 20 in human years! Second of all, I think it's God awful ugly! Why do you ask?"
"I think it is, too, Reepy-chan." Sandy said, stroking Reepicheep.
"Saaaaaaaandyyyyyyy!!!!!" Mrs. Comm called.
"Coming, Mom!" Sandy replied. "OK, Reep, I'm going down to help mom unpack."
"Fine with me! Just put me on the bed... Thanks..." The gerbil replied. Sandy was glad that the movers had put her bed in already and her other junk. Sandy went downstairs and gathered her boxes-, which held her most prized possessions: Every single American Sailor Dove comic book ever produced! "Oh, Sandy, you know those days are over, now!" She said to herself, brushing a tear from her eye. Sandy parted her red hair and looked at her green eyes in the mirror.
"Whelp, here goes!"
After a laborious night of unpacking and moving furniture around and putting Reepicheep in her cage and on the cage's table, Sandy finally went to sleep.

Next morning, Sandy got off the school bus. Not one familiar, New York-ish look here. Sandy sighed. She then walked into her classroom and sat down next to two girls.
"Hi," she said.
Ana. "Hello," one of the girls said. She had brown hair. "How are you and what's your name? I'm Katrina and this-" she indicated the girl next to her-"is Ana. And you?"
"I'm fine! My name is Sandy Comm."
"Cool!"
"Class?" their teacher said. "Settle down... Class!!!"
*** "So what do kids in Dementerville (or as I like to say, Dementedville) do after school?" Sandy asked. It was after school.
"Well, there's this mall, but that isn't much fun... And then, of course, there's the park and the-" Katrina said, interrupted by Sandy.
"Yeah, I know about the Sanitarium and the chicken thing. God, New York was much better than this!"
"I bet!" Ana smiled.
All of a sudden, there was a screech. "Aaaaah!!!!! Help!!!!!"
"Oh, no!" Katrina cried.
Katrina and Ana ran to the noise and Sandy followed.
It must be those two brats, Naska and Norif, again! Why'd they haveta follow me here? Life was annoying enough, already! Sandy thought.
***
Sandy saw two Scouts fighting a thing that looked oddly like Queen Bowel, the badguy in Sailor Dove, and, much to no avail, the Scouts were trapped!
"Grr... POWERS OF THE MOON, COME TO MY AID... SANDROCK... CRYSTAL... MORPH!!!!!!!"
The Queen Bowel monster looked up. "Eh?"
"I AM SAILOR SANDROCK, AND NOW THAT YOU HAVE HURT MY ALLIES, I SHALL HURT YOU!!!! EULALIAAAAAA!!!!!!
"MOON LOVE CRYSTALS FORM!!!!!"
Five crystals, gold, yellow, aqua, green and blue appeared, combined and became totally white.
"MOON LOVE CRYSTALS... FORMATION SPIRAL!!!"
The crystal spiraled towards the monster's forehead and then it blacked out, loosening it's grip on Sailor Dragonspaw and Sailor Icesis.
The two Scouts got up, saw Sailor Sandrock and nodded. At last, they had finally found the third scout!
"Let's combine our powers to finish this... thing off!" Sailor Dragonspaw said.
"Yeah, let's do it!" Sailor Icesis replied.
"DRASKIN..."
"SYMPHONY ICE TIGER..."
"SERENITY CRYSTALS..."
"GO!"
"DESTROY!"
"FORMATION SPIRAL!!!!!"
And with that the monster was destroyed.

The next day at school, Sandy sat with her newfound friends. What an adventure! Maybe she would be as popular in Dementerville as she was in New York!
***
Sandy, Katrina and Ana were all hanging out in Sandy's room, Snowy and Shadow talking to Reepicheep.
"Wow," Sandy said, amazed. "I didn't know that you were the Gerbil of the Moon Kingdom!"
"Yeah, well¼ " Reepy said and blushed.
"Well, now that we know we're all Sailor Senshi, maybe we could work on finding the others?" Ana suggested.
"Why not?" Katrina asked, eyeing a Sailor Dove comic book. "We just have to wait… Rather annoying, but in the mean time, I suppose we can try and get rid of Naska and Norif…"
Sandy sighed and muttered something about annoyances.
"Well," Snowy said, looking at Shadow who was staring at Reepicheep (and Reepicheep staring nervously back). "At least we have found another Scout… Shadow and Reepicheep, please!" Reepicheep had been running around the room, afraid of Shadow's stare.
"Reepy, come here!" Sandy said. Reepy jumped into Sandy's lap. "Good girl."
Katrina flipped through a Sailor Dove comic book and chided Shadow.
"Giiiiiirls!!!! Dinner!!!!" Mrs. Comm called.
Katerina, Ana and Sandy ran down the stairs to receive their long awaited meal.
