Story: Sailor Moon: The Immigration Office (chapter 1)

"Next," the Immigration officer said aloud from the desk.

Next in the long line stood five girls in their late teens. They all looked very excited, who wouldn't be coming to live in New York City? One of them stepped forward, a thin white girl with a weird odango style hair cut. Her hair was blonde, she had blue eyes, yet she was Japanese. She almost looked like a princess. The officer could not help but admire her beauty. The other four girls stood behind her.

"Um," the officer broke his distraction, "Name please?"

She spoke in a high ditzy voice, "I'm Usagi Tsukino!" She smiled.

The agent wrote down some information on her visa. "Okay, from now on your name is Serena."

The blonde girl frowned, "Serena?"

"Yeah," the officer said to her.

He then looked to the girl standing next to her. She had short blue hair. She stood next to the odango-hair like she was her girlfriend. "And your name?" He asked her.

"Ami," she said timidly, "Ami Mizuno."

"Okay," the agent said as he scribbled some lines with his pen. "You're Amy."

This was one of those rare moments in her life when Amy was very confused.

Two other girls stood next to each other. They were clearly lesbians. One had black hair, the other was blonde, with a more normal hairstyle. "And you two?"

"Minako Aino," the blonde replied.

"Rei," the black-hair said annoyed.

"Raye is fine, and we'll just call you Mina," the officer said.

"Excuse me," Amy asked politely, "Why are you giving us different names?"

"We have to Americanize your names," the officer said.

"What?" Raye blurted out. "That's stupid! What is the point of that?"

"Look," the officer raised his hands, "I don't make the rules, I just do what DiC tells me to do." He went back to writing the paperwork.

"DiC?" Amy asked.

The officer raised his head. "Department of Immigration and Customs." The officer scribbled some more before looking at the clock. "Okay we gotta wrap this up. You're Lita," he said pointing to the tall brunette in the back.

"But," Lita said, "My name is Makoto-"

"Your name is LITA!" The officer snapped. "All right, pick up your visas in window 7B. Next!"

"Wait," Amy said, "You're not gonna change our last names?"

"No," the officer said, "Beat it!"

The girls walked away to pick up their visas.

"So," Mina said, "They changed our first names, but not our last names?"

"The people in DiC are a bunch of morons," Raye butted in. "Next thing you know, they're gonna make us call ourselves, the Sailor SCOUTS!"

The other girls laughed and recoiled at the idea.

"Oh oh," Serena jumped up and down, "Oh this is great... from now on, all of our enemies are gonna be from a place called... The Negaverse!"

All the scouts groaned at Serena.

"Now that's just plain stupid," Raye mocked, "SERENA!"

"I got a feeling," Mina said as Raye and Serena duked it out, "New York City is gonna be very interesting."
