Here's another one.

                             Sailor Moon Future
                         Episode 2: The Earth Rises!
                    (rough draft, not for distribution)

    It's morning in Crystal Tokyo, and the sun begins to shine into one
specific room in the palace, mostly made of crystal like everything else.
Kameko wakes up at the beam of sunlight and yawns.  She gets up, washes and
dresses (orange jumpsuit), and when it comes time to get her purse, she pulls
a globe off the (crystal) shelf, unscrews the bottom, and digs around in it
for money, which by her expression seems to be depressingly little.

    Breakfast time downstairs.
    Kameko: Say, Mom, Dad, uh, can I ask you something?
    Selenity: Yes, dear.
    Kameko: Well, the fair is still going on and I need money to go to some of
the attractions and can I _please_ have an advance on my allowance?
    Selenity: The fair's going to be around for another month.
    Kameko: But not _all_ of it is.  Can't you remember what it was like when
you were a teenager and ran out of money to do teenager things?
    Selenity: I didn't have a fancy castle and worldwide fame and a mother
with all the money in the world and that sort of thing.  It was hard.  I lived
with it, so can you.
    Endymion: The purpose of the granting of allowances is to teach the proper
management of money.  Giving advances on it is not a thing to be done lightly.
    Kameko turns to her sister.  "Oneechan, can I borrow..."  She replies "Uh,
I was just about to ask Mom if I could...  oh well, never mind."
    Kameko: "Oh, and one other thing..."

    Usagi and Kameko (and involuntarily, Diana) are going shopping, among the
many Worlds' Fair shops.  Kameko is wearing a new brooch, which looks like a
piece of amber with a rose embedded in it.  Kameko passes by a collectibles
store and gets an idea, leaving her sister to enter.
    She writes her name on a piece of paper and presents it.  "A real
autograph from the princess of the whole planet.  How much is this worth?"
After about fifteen minutes of identification-checking (Usagi tapping her
foot and half falling asleep) the storekeeper tells her that the market is sa-
turated with them, so he can only give her about 60000 yen, and the next one
would probably be even less.  Kameko accepts the offer, and as she leaves Usa-
gi (who had entered with her) tells her "See?  I told you that'll stop working
sometime."
    A moment later, Usagi asks "By the way, can I borrow 30000 yen?"

    They continue through the Fair to a science exhibit imported from Venus.
Kameko and Usagi are completely uninterested until they spot a handsome man
selling tickets.  "Tickets!  Tickets!"  When they get close enough, they
spot a ring on his finger, but he smiles at them long enough to ask "Say, can
I have your autographs?"

    The figure on the stage is very familiar: Sailor Venus!  "I'm pleased to
assist Ms. Yamada in showing this to you.  It's a really nice thing she came
up with...  we can use a whole lot more of them.  Nobody has had a chance to
test it but I'm hopeful that nothing will go wrong.  So I'll demonstrate this
invention that will be a demonstration to you of, uh, this invention from
Venus which can be a great help for our weather..."  Kameko goes for some ice
cream at this point.
    "Well, anyway this should be helpful in clearing the air and helping the
weather, so as soon as Ms. Yamada switches her invention on..."  Ms. Yamada
pokes her and then speaks herself.  "What she's trying to say is that
this invention affects probability.  It can move all the hot air molecules to
one place, cooling off a whole planet.  The possibilities are endless."  She
turns it on.

    The machine, of course, immediately goes out of control.  There is a red
sparkle near the machine, quickly overshadowed by a suddenly materializing
cloudy, vaguely humanlike form.  Venus attacks with "Venus Graceful Chain",
which passes right through it.  It grabs her and puts her head right _through_
its arm.  She chokes and falls to the ground unconscious.
    Usagi shouts "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"  She transforms in a scene of
more pink than the untrained human eye can stand and faces off against the
creature.  They trade blows as Diana runs off.  The creature hits Usagi's
face, and she begins to choke.

    Diana pads off to the ice cream stand.  "Kameko!  Usagi's in trouble!
There's a monster there!"  She asks the person in front of her "Could you save
my place in line?" and follows Diana.  Only to see a room full of unconscious
people including Sailor Venus and Moon...."

Eyecatch: sounds exactly like "Sailor Moon Super" with "Future" instead.
Shot of Usagi, Kameko, and Diana in front of a picture of the moon.

                               COMMERCIAL BREAK

Eyecatch: similar to the other one except that the picture is of the Earth.

    Flashback (misty): Kameko is speaking to King Endymion.
    Endymion: "It's something we've been thinking about.  You're mature
enough... at least Usako thinks so.  Will you promise to use your abilities
for good?"
    Kameko nods.
    Endymion pulls a rose out of nowhere and tosses it at Kameko.  It
stops in mid-air; the stem falls off, and the flower itself becomes magically
encased in yellowish-orange crystal.  The crystal falls into Kameko's
awaiting hands.  "Now, say 'Earth Celestial Power, Make Up'."
    End flashback.

    Kameko touches her brooch.  "Earth Celestial Power, Make Up!"  She spins
and goes naked, in another variation on the familiar transformation.  Kameko's
clothes vanish, of course, and a sailor fuku materializes on her body.  The
boots on this costume are brown with white at the top, and her sailor fuku a
mirror image of the usual: white bow and skirt, light blue top.  During this,
a voice sings in bad English "Sailor Earth...  Sailor Earth..."

    The vapor monster immediately attacks the new Senshi.  Sailor Earth kicks
at it with a hopeful "Sailor Earth Kick!"  The kick goes through like
everything else.  The monster then tries choking her, and she escapes by
running.  Sailor Moon, starting to wake up, sees Kameko and says "Hey, you did
it!  Not as easy as it looks, right?"  Sailor Earth frowns back.  Usagi adds
"Help me!  That thing's tough..."
    Diana runs around the room and spots a fan.  She scampers up a table and
jumps on the fan, clawing at the switch.  When the switch comes on, the
creatures begins to be blown helplessly around the room.  "Attack it now,
Sailor Earth!"
    Sailor Earth stretches out her hands in a near-fireball motion.  "Bio...
Sphere!"  A bluish-green globe of force flies out at the creature and surrounds
it, contracting and squeezing it until with a sudden hiss it loses all
coherence and becomes a cloud of ordinary smoke.
    She asks "Are you okay, Sailor Moon?  Sailor Venus?  Everyone?"  They're
all starting to wake up.  Ms. Yamada says "I'm okay...  thank you for
destroying that monster, whoever you are!"
    The red sparkle remains and forms into a female figure only briefly
visible, and when Kameko says "I'm the newest Sailor Senshi, Sailor Earth!",
the point of view switches to one near the figure's.
    
    Back in civilian identity, Usagi and Kameko are returning to the palace.
Usagi's voice says "Really?  We can?"  Sailor Mercury says "Going to the past
is the best way to learn about history, and get training, especially Kameko-
chan." Serenity adds "Be sure to write back often!" and Ami then continues
"Oh, and be sure to study often too!"
    Serenity asks "When you do get there, please be nice to me, okay?"

Coming Attractions:

Kameko: "Usagi and me are taking a trip to the past.  I always wanted to go!
But Mom and Dad say if I stay for any time I have to go to school there!  And
will I too be fighting evil monsters from history, like the Sailor Senshi did?"
