Yay!  A serious Sailor Moon fanfic!  This may be the first one I've seen...I 
forget.

    There is a brief shot of several unkempt criminals huddling about a
map with stick figures of Neo-Queen Selenity and her two children.  They draw
in other stick figures holding stick-figure guns at them.  "Now here's the
plan..."

I wish the bad guys were more interesting.  All you know about them are 
that they are unkempt and kinds of silly-stupid.

    A voice shouts "Hands in the air and nobody gets hurt!"  A man pulls a
gun on Usagi and says "Okay, now we're gonna change these speeches a little.
The monarchy is draining the public dry and we're sick and tired of it!"
He tosses his own script at her, which she nearly misses catching.  His hench-
men, apparently hidden in the crowd, all pull guns on everyone, then the first
man says "Read it, now, or Small Lady gets it."

This plan is pointless.  Maybe I'm missing something, but if they don't 
hide the fact that they're forcing her to say it, nobody's going to be 
fooled into believing the speech.  It'd be more interesting if they 
secretly point a gun at her or her family and tell her to read the speech or 
else.  
Although it is a good idea, I know if I lived under the rule of Sailor 
Scouts I'd be the first one rebelling ^_^.  I've always wondered how the 
hell these people would be proclaimed ruler of Tokyo/world. 

    Kameko begins to read the speech, which complains that the monarchy is
a leech on the entire world, and that it's working with the Masons and that
the pay to the King and Queen is going to waste.  Then one of the crooks, the

Working with the masons?  People who work with stone?  Silly professional 
men's club?  I don't understand why this is so bad.

    Tuxedo Kamen makes a speech "Though some may hate the monarchy, its salary
is dwarfed by the free upkeep it provides to the famous Crystal Palace tourist

That's no fun! ^_^  And if there's a salary involved it's not free...

    Then Usagi says that Kameko can't become a Senshi because she broke an im-
portant crystal vase and nobody can be clumsy and still be a Senshi.  Kameko
suggests that it's possible to be a little bit bumbling, or even a whiner like
Usagi, and still be one of the Sailor Senshi, and thinks that the good quali-
ties will come with practice.  "Since when was I a whiner?"  "Oh, I don't
know, Small Lady." It rapidly degenerates into a shouting match.

This is kind of dry.  Just writing down their conversation would be more 
interesting.

I wanted to make this private.  Darn it.
