Hey I've had this idea for a while now. I'm fine leaving it like this but I do have more planned for it if it gets positive feedback

"Vocal Speech"

'Sign Language'

"Sailor Moon speech"

My name is Tsukino Usagi, I'm fourteen years old and a bit of a crybaby. I'm also mute. When I was ten an accident took my voice from me but it's wasn't the end of the world. I'm alive and I have people who love me so I'm still happy. And just because I can't speak doesn't mean I can't communicate; my family and my best friend learned how to sign with me after the accident.

"Usagi!" My mother opened my bedroom door, "You're going to be late for school!"

I looked at my alarm clock, she was right of course, if I didn't leave in the next few minutes I would never make it in time. 'Thanks, Mama.' I sign as I rush to get out the door. I checked my ribbon, grabbed some toast and left.

Of course, I still didn't make it on time. On the way I was distracted by some kids bullying a cat. I clapped loudly behind them to get their attention then shooed them away. I knelt to look at the cat, seeing a bandage on its head. Poor kitty, children can be so cruel, I think to myself as I pull the bandage off. As the cat jumps away I catch sight of a crescent… scar? I stare at the cat for another moment, hand automatically being drawn to the ribbon on my throat, then I hear a bell ring and realize that I wasted too many precious minutes with the cat and was once again late to school.

I apologize to my teacher, Ms. Haruna, as I enter the class. I grab my personal chalkboard and take a seat next to my best friend Naru. We smile at each other as class begins.

Later at lunch Naru says that her mother's jewelry store is having a sale and that we should go. Even if it's on sale I don't think I would be able to afford anything there but I agree anyway. If nothing else I can try some of it on and we can hang out together.

After school, as we walk toward her shop, I examine the graded test we received in class. It was a poor grade, I could have done better. Oh well, can't change the past. I throw the test paper at a nearby trashcan. And watch in horror as it hits someone in the face. I run up to them and start bowing in apology, I even sign sorry a few times, but as I've learned it can be hard to communicate properly with a stranger. As I feared, the man did not notice my apology. Or possibly he didn't care.

He sneered at me, "Is this yours? I didn't know it was possible to score that low on a test. Your family must be so proud."

I flushed in anger, for some reason unable to just brush off his comment, and sign back in a flurry of angry gestures, 'You jerk! I apologized! What gives you the right to ridicule me that way? My test score is none of your business you…BUTT-FACE!'

There is a pause. He blinks at me, several emotions passing over his face before he settles on a teasing one. "Butt face? That's not very nice," he smiles, 'bun head.' I gape at him. He knows sign? I miscalculated, confronting him was a mistake, abort, abo-

He hands my test to me and walks away laughing, I manage to snap out of my shock.

"Usagi! Are you ok?" Naru rushed to her. I nodded and we walked away, never noticing the cat following behind.

Entering Naru's store, Osa-P, was chaos. There were way too many people, I had to grab Naru's sleeve to keep from getting separated. We started browsing. Despite my earlier thoughts, I actually could afford some of these prices. Maybe that was why the crowd was so big. I still doubt I'll buy anything…

Naru's mom greeted us as we were looking at a necklace display. "Naru! Are you and your friend interested in these necklaces?" She turned to address me, "You could use some real jewelry instead of those ribbons on your neck." My smile dropped.

"Mom!" Naru looked horrified, "You know Usagi wears that for a reason!" She lowered her voice to a scandalized whisper, "Remember, her scars?" Understanding flashed on her mother's face and she quickly apologized and excused herself, leaving to tend to other customers.

That was… weird. Naru's mom was talking like she didn't even know me, she didn't remember my condition and she didn't even say my name. I've known Naru for years, that's just strange.

"I'm sorry Usagi, I don't know why she said that." Naru said to me, looking slightly distressed.

'It's ok, really, but I think I'm going to go home now.' She signed to her friend. 'I'll see you tomorrow though.'

As I walked home I couldn't help but touch the ribbons on my neck. I rubbed the spot that I knew my scars were, hidden underneath.

I sighed as I reached my house, mom won't like the grade I got. I walked through the front door. I couldn't see my mom anywhere so I knocked on the wall to let her hear that I was home.

"Usagi, welcome home!" She walked out from the kitchen, "How was your day? I heard you had a test, how did you do?" She smiled at me. I frowned and handed her the test. Before she could look at it I already started signing, 'I'm sorry, I'll do better next time.' She looked at it and then back at me and simply sighed. "Alright then, why don't you go start your homework and I'll come get you when dinner is ready," She kissed my forehead, I nodded, and accepted the dismissal to go up to my room.

I did start my homework. I'm not always the best student but I could be worse. I was terrible when I was younger but after the accident I had to work hard to catch up and ever since I've been a bit better about at least trying to do my schoolwork.

Several minutes passed before I was interrupted by a voice at my window.

"Tsukino Usagi, I've been looking for you," a cat said. What? Vaguely, I recognized it as the cat from this morning but I was more focused on the talking aspect at the moment. "Thank you for helping me this morning, those bandages inhibited my speech and mental functions. I'm glad we've met. I was getting worried about what I would do if I never found you."

'Am I dreaming?' I sign to the cat. While part of me is hoping this is a dream I have an ominous gut feeling it isn't. Something deep inside me is telling me to listen. The main reason I asked was to see if the cat could understand.

"Usagi? Why do you communicate with your hands?" Huh I guess not then. It was worth a shot, if it can speak then it isn't unthinkable that it would understand sign language as well but I guess not.

I removed the ribbon wrapped around my neck, letting the large mass of scars on my throat be seen. I then tried simple gestures to get the cat to understand me. I touched my throat, opening my mouth as I gestured forward, miming speech, and then formed an 'x' with my hands.

Understanding seemed to flash through the cat's eyes. "I thought that might have been the reason but I had hoped that I would be wrong. While this complicates things slightly I'm sure it will work out in the end. Especially once we find the princess, she will most likely be able to heal you." Ok, I'm confused again. I grabbed a piece of paper to communicate with.

"Complicate what? Find who? Explain please," I had written.

Luna read it and nodded, "I suppose we can spare some time for a brief summary. Basically, you are the reincarnation of a magical warrior from a kingdom long gone. A long time ago there was a kingdom on the moon, and the other planets as well, and this kingdom was full of peace, magic and prosperity and spread across all the planets of this star system. But a great evil destroyed the kingdom. The queen, using the magic of the Silver Crystal, sealed it away, along with sending the souls of her daughter and the Sailor Senshi ahead to be reborn in the future. You are Sailor Moon, leader of the Sailor Senshi. The evil from before is breaking its binds and sending monsters, Youma, into this world. It is your job to stop those monsters and to help find and protect the princess, for she is now the only one capable of using the magic that can defeat the Dark Kingdom. The crystal the queen used to defeat them can only be used by the royal lunarians and the princess is the only royal left now." She stopped, looking for my reaction now.

"You realize that sounds crazy, right?" I wrote, despite that, though, there was a sense of rightness to her words in my mind.

"Maybe you require proof then." And a beautiful brooch appeared in front of her. "This will allow you to transform into Sailor Moon."

"But why me? I won't be a very good leader when I can't even speak," I wrote.

"You wouldn't be the first disabled Soldier, and magic makes a great many things easier. There were mute lunarians too, in the odd cases that magic couldn't just heal them, magic let them continue to communicate through other means. The most common being simply projecting their thoughts, their inner voices, outward. This was usually achieved through slightly psychic jewelry, something that the Senshi Uniform is more than capable of. While transformed you will most definitely be able to communicate, I only wish I had more relics from the Silver Millennium, then I could help you out of uniform as well. Oh, the Silver Millennium was the name of the peaceful kingdom formed by all the planets." She was rambling at the end, having been caught up in memories and a genuine desire to help me. I was actually a little touched, or I would be if I wasn't still trying to process everything she said.

"I'll be able to speak?" I wrote eventually. She smiled at me and nodded at the brooch still floating between us.

"Try for yourself. You simply need to say Moon Prism Power to activate it and your magic will do the rest."

"Say?" She realized her mistake.

"I'm sorry, I believe just thinking it while focusing completely on those words will work for you. Silent transformations usually require quite some experience from the Senshi but we'll make do. Go ahead and try now." She smiled again. I grabbed the brooch in front of me. I felt something, its magic maybe, pulse through me from its spot in my hands.

'MOON PRISM POWER' I could feel the magic flooding through me the words coming to me with ease, 'MAKE UP!' There was a spike in the magic and I was quickly surrounded by warmth, light, and ribbons, and then I was standing in a new outfit, my uniform apparently, and I could still feel the magic thrumming through my veins.

"Panic. This is too overwhelming. Am I dreaming? This can't be real. THAT WAS AMAZING! This is too good to be true. That felt so right! She's going to say I'm to broken. She'll take it back, I know it! This can't be real! Magic isn't real! But it is and it happened! And I love it! My head hurts. WHAT'S HAPPENING?" The room filled with sound. Voices echoing my thoughts overlapping chaotically.

"USAGI! You are projecting! You have to focus; force your magic to only say what you want it to." Luna's voice cut through the noise. The sound of my mind quieted as I calmed down. I blinked and reorganized my thoughts. I tried to do as she said and project what I wanted to say.

"Like this?" my eyes widened, "was that my voice?" My lips didn't move but the thought was mine. I didn't quite recognize the voice; the last time I had spoken I was ten, and it sounded slightly different to my usual inner voice. It almost sounded generic, like a bland imitation of what a teenage girl should sound like. "Is this what my voice would sound like if I had one? Probably not." Oops, I hadn't meant for that to me out loud. This is kinda tough. I looked to Luna, she had a proud look in her eyes and then gestured to the mirror. I looked.

The first thing I noticed was that my hair was a few shades lighter than normal. When I looked closer I saw a few strands of silver mixed with the pale blonde. I noticed the mask next, it looked similar to Sailor V's, it was white and seemed to mimic wings. The lenses of them slightly tinted dark. I took it off for now to better look at myself. Then I noticed my neck. The necklace looked similar to my normal ribbon, but a different color. This bright pink ribbon wrapped many times around my neck, covering my scars, before tying in a bow in the back. There was a small charm hanging from the front that seemed to mimic the brooch on my chest. The brooch which had settled itself in the center of a large pink bow on my chest. The main part of the uniform seemed to mimic my school uniform except the skirt was shorter, the bows pink, and I was now wearing gloves and pink heeled boots. I looked back to my face. There was a gold tiara on my forehead with a pink gem in its center. Above that were feathered pins in my hair and two gems on my buns.

"Luna, this is amazing!" The gems on my buns glowed a soft gold as I 'spoke' and the sound of my 'voice' seemed to be coming from them.

Luna nodded in approval, "Those gems seemed to have been there for some sound based attack already, so they worked perfectly as a conduit for the voice magic." I looked back over at her "Now, it might take some time to get used to the magic translating your thoughts. Getting the magic to know the difference between thoughts you want spoken and thoughts you want to keep private might be difficult at first but practice will help."

Suddenly the goggles lit up, an image showing on the lenses, and I could hear a faint voice from my crescent shaped earrings. -Help me!- that voice sounded familiar!

I looked at the goggles, "Naru!" I gasped, the goggles showed Naru being strangled by her mother. Except, as I watched Naru's mother changed shape into a more monsterish form. I showed the goggles to Luna, "What's going on?"

"The Dark Kingdom!" she exclaimed, "Your friends mother has been replaced by a Youma, a monster, you must go save her Sailor Moon!"

I nodded seriously, I had to save Naru, whatever it takes. "I knew there was something wrong with her! She was acting so strange earlier!" I blushed, I hadn't meant to say that. "Sorry. Let's go save Naru!"

The act of actually getting to Osa-P was slightly hectic. My panic for Naru warred with my amazement at my new physical abilities. I was jumping over whole buildings with barely any effort. And I was moving faster than I ever had before in my entire life. "Magic is awesome." Didn't mean to say that but its still true. I wish I could run this fast normally, I'd never be late again.

As we got closer, I began to panic more. "Oh my god Luna, I can't fight! I don't even know how to. And even with this power up how am I supposed to kill an actual MONSTER?!"

I think Luna gave me a look but she's a cat, so I tried to ignore it. "Calm down, calm down there's a very easy way to beat the monsters. It's a simple spell activated by your tiara. You simply say 'Moon Tiara Boomerang' and throw it at your enemy and it should destroy any Youma."

"Ok, ok. I can do that. Moon tiara boomerang and then bam its done. Easy-peasy. Just point and shoot… why am I still scared?" We had arrived. It was time for me to start my first monster fight. But I'm scared. Naru, you have to save Naru" By the end of that thought I was projecting again. God I'm a mess.

Luna gave me a sympathetic look, or the cat equivalent, I think it was sympathy. "It's ok to be nervous. But remember, you can do this! You were born to do this! Just trust your magic!"

I nodded. Kitty pep talk over, I opened the doors. As I did I felt my magic build again, trusting Luna, I let it flow through me and, like with the transformation, I felt my body going back into auto-pilot as magic took control.

"Stop right there!" 'I' yell at the monster. Like with the transformation, the words came with ease, but this time they were slightly more forceful in their exit. Or in other words, magic was speaking for me. Did I lip sync just now? Are my lips moving to match my psychic speech? "How dare you imitate someone's mother? A mother's love is sacred and evil like you can not ruin it! Also, how dare you use jewelry for evil? This cannot be forgiven! I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of the moon, I'll punish you!"

My magic speech came with magic poses. It was weird feeling my body move on its own like that, but it finally stopped. Alright, let's try to do this as quickly as possible; say the words, throw the tiara.

"Moon Tiara Boomerang!" As I grabbed the small tiara on my head I felt it change shape. It became a sharp glowing disk of magical destruction. I could feel the magic pulsing through it and back to me and I knew this innocent looking glowing circle could do some major damage. No time to ponder that, point and shoot.

I threw it at the Youma, who had begun charging toward me, and it jumped out of the way. "Oh come on!" I hastily had to dodge an attack from the Youma, claws way too close for comfort. The tiara returned to me. It literally just popped back on my forehead. Well, it did say boomerang, and that does imply it'll come back, but I was not prepared for it poofing back into existence on my face.

This was all very distracting and the monster was still attacking me. I managed to dodge a few more times, trying to get enough space to attack again, before it clawed my arm. Yelling an odd psychic yelp of pain, I leapt backwards, only to trip and fall on my back.

The Youma loomed over me, claws sharpening even more, and was about to strike when a rose shot through its hand.

I look up in the direction the very sharp rose came from and saw a man in a Tuxedo with a mask covering his eyes. I had several thoughts at the same time.

Firstly, dang boy, way to make a girl swoon you dashing prince charming.

Secondly, "What the whaaaat…?" my mind projected as it processed the tuxedo wearing, rose throwing, mysterious stranger who was helping me I think.

Finally, "Now's your chance Sailor Moon!" Mystery boy shouted and it was not necessary I was already there. His distraction, a very distracting distraction, gave me the chance to attack the monster again. "Moon Tiara Boomerang!" It did not miss and the Youma crumbled to dust.

I turned to my knight in tuxedo armor, "Who are you? Friend or for? Thank you very much for saving me but you aren't going to attack me too now right?" I hope he's not evil, he is very cute, and he did save me.

"I am Tuxedo Mask, it seems what I seek is not here, but the trip was not a waste for now I've met you, Sailor Moon. Until we meet again..." he jumped out the window and leapt away from the building. "Smooth, and also hot and oh crap I think I love him"

Ok so tell me if you want more. I just had the idea about disabilities and magical girls and wanted to try this out

my plan chapter wise if you all do want more is to do the majority of the episode in one chapter and then in between episodes have some shorter interlude chapters

also usagi had time to have the talk with luna because she didn't stop at the crown arcade and also didn't take a nap, giving them time before the monster strike.
