Episode 1:

Yuki and the Crystal.


 The crystal city shimmered brightly. Neo-Queen Serenity and her husband,Endymion,stood on a green hillside, overlooking their new city.  "Its beautiful Endy-chan." Serenity sighed.  Endymion could only smile in agreement.  Crystal Tokyo was forming before the couple's eyes.  Their destiny was finally fulfilled after many long battles.  As the sun lost to the horizon, Neo-Queen Serenity paused and looked around.  Something was amiss.  Something was still wrong.  Endymion looked at his wife, worrying for her safety.  

 "You have done well Neo-Queen Serenity.  Its too bad it all has to end here." The voice behind them said.  Endymion and Serenity spun around to see a cloaked figure.  "Crystal Tokyo will never become a true reality.  Prepare yourself for hell!"  
 
 Endymion rushed foward, sword in hand, to slay the being who had threatened his life.  Before he could reach the cloaked figure, he was thrown back onto the ground.  "Fool.  Do you think you can stop me?  I created the second most powerful magic in the world.  It is for this magic that I now command the heavens to seal Neo-Queen Serenity forever!"  The figure leveled a finger to Serenity.  Clouds formed above her.  All light seemed to flow away from the scene.  "You are mine!" 

 Serenity could only gasp as she felt her entire being sucked into a small flower-like crystal.  Endymion regained consiousness just as his wife disappeared into the crystal.  "Serenity! NO!" Endymion screamed.  The senshi teleported in and rushed the cloaked figure.  In turn, each was impaled by a black crystal.  Endymion could only watch as his friends and family were killed one by one.  The last thing Endymion saw was a blinding light protecting him from the crystal spike meant for him.  The cloaked figure was gone once Endymion regained sight.  



 {Touch the crystal} a formless voice said.  Yuki looked at her blank surroundings.  Shadows filled the entire room.  A crystal floated in the middle of the room, pulsing a soft light.  Yuki hesitated as she moved towards the center of the room.  {Touch it.  It is your destiny Shaolan Yuki.}  The girl searched for the origin of the voice.  Silence.  Finally,her hand reached the crystal.  Arms made of shadows flew from every corner of the room, grabbing Yuki's arms and legs.  

 
 Yuki sat up, sweat running down her brow.  She ran her fingers through her black hair and looked around.  Everything was in its place.  The posters on the wall, the bed in its corner, its sheets on the floor.  Sighing, Yuki got up and changed into her school uniform.  As she walked downstairs, the end of her dream kept playing over and over in her mind.  Her father,Touya,was already in the kitchen, cooking the family's breakfast. Yuki calmly walked in and sat down.  
 Her father said nothing to her during breakfast, or when she left.  She muttered under her breath as she put on the last of her rollerblading pads and took off. Each movement brought her closer to place she hated every single day, school.  Since she could remember, Yuki had always hated school, going only to get away from everything else.  Passing by Tsukishiro Yukito, her childhood crush and best friend,she gave him a slight smile.  They had tried a relationship only a few months ago but things didn't work out.  She loved him for his big loving green eyes and his comfort but he didn't see her as a girlfriend.  

 Yuki skated into the gate just in time for the school bell to ring.  "Ah. Still passing glances to each other I see." A voice said.  Yuki jumped and looked over.  The raven-haired girl only smiled,putting down her camcorder.  "Daidouji-chan.  We were not passing glances.  I told you before that.." Yuki started.  Daidouji smiled and nodded.  "You're so cute when you're flustered Yuki-chan." 

 Yuki couldn't help but crack a smile.  Daidouji Tomoyo had been her only female friend since the day she was born.  "Tomoyo, we weren't.  I wish we were, but we aren't." Yuki sighed.  Tomoyo could only hug her friend and walk with her to their class.  During the class, Yuki became lost in her thoughts, her hand doodling.  The teacher continued her lecture, passing over Yuki every single time.  Kinomoto-sensei had a quiet understanding with her niece and let her be.  The homeroom bell soon rang with Tomoyo making her way to Yuki's seat.  "Yuki-chan. Homeroom is over. Time to go." 

 Mechanically,Yuki grabbed her books and stood up.  Tomoyo watched as Yuki wordlessly left the class.  Kinomoto-sensei put her paper down. "Daidouji-san.  Is something wrong with Shaoran-san?" 

 "Nothing out of the ordinary Kinomoto-sensei.  She's still having trouble with losing Tsukishiro-san."

 Kinomoto-sensei nodded and went back to her paper.  Tomoyo ran out, looking for Yuki.  She finally caught up to her at the crosswalk.  "Yuki-chan.  Your aunt was asking about you."  Yuki nodded.  "Of course. Aunt Sakura can't keep her nose out of family buisness."

 Yuki crossed the road, inwardly regretting the harsh words she had said about her aunt.  She looked back after a few steps and didn't see Tomoyo following her.  Good, she thought, I didn't really feel like crying today.  Along the short walk to her house, Yuki placed all her thoughts on the dream and what it meant.  
 Upon opening the door, Yuki was almost blinded by the glow inside her house.  It was almost like someone had turned all the lights on with 10000 watt bulbs.  Shielding her eyes, Yuki called for anyone who could hear her.  {The crystal Yuki.  Come closer.} A voice in her mind said.  She stopped and glanced at the basement door.  The glow seemed strongest in the basement.  {Go in Yuki. Fulfil your destiny.} 

 She turned the knob and opened the door, checking for each step with her foot. Once at the bottom,she found the source of the glow.  A flower-like crystal in the center of the basement.  The shelves of books herding her towards it.  The closer she got, the more frightened she became.  No, this isn't real, her mind screamed.  {Touch the crystal,Shaoran Yuki.}

 The voice kept urging her to move closer, to touch the crystal.  Slowly, she reached foward,her fingertip on the edge of the crystal.  Her heart started beating a mile a second, her mind flooded with images.  A strong wind blew, knocking books off of the shelves.  The entire room was bathed in the white glow.  A lone figure appeared before her in an elegant white dress.  Yuki could see the pain on the blonde woman's face.  {Shaoran Yuki, thank you.  I'm sorry all this had to happen.  My name is Neo-Queen Serenity.  I am in desperate need of your help.  Please, help me. Set me free.}  Yuki gasped as she felt Serenity's hand brush against her cheek.  {You are my only hope Shaoran Yuki.  Become Captor Moon. Save the world.}  

 Yuki had never felt so determined before.  Her mind was racing with images of a beautiful crystal city and its inhabitants.  Raising her hand to the sky, she said the words that would forever change her life.  "Clow Power! Make up!"
