Hello! This is my "read me" for this story. I couldn't 
get the stupid notepad program to let me add these 
ANs and the words to the song that inspired this fic 
in, so I just decided a "read me" was the way to go.

THANKS go out to:

Antigone, Shana, April, and Psa-chan, who all preread 
for me and put up with my nonsense for so long. Thanks 
so much guys, you'll never know how much that meant 
to me. Special thanks to Antigone who provided most 
of the Japanese you'll see in this fic. She's been so 
awesome about it, and I am forever in her debt for it! 
Thanks girl, I owe you one.

I'm sending a shout out to my online pal Nienori (sorry, 
can't spell your real name here . . . *major sweatdrop*) 
you've been so cool! I love exchanging poems with you. 
And to my little sister, as always, this little girl was 
inspired by your everlasting kawaii self, don't ever change. 

Finally, to all who read this, I'm thanking you from the 
bottom of my heart. I don't care whether you decide to 
like it or not, tell me what you thought or not, I'm just 
grateful you took the time to read my small contribution 
to the wide world of Sailormoon Fanfiction.

And now, I've taken up too much space and time, 
so I shall depart. Ja ne! And enjoy. . . .

Ah, yes. The song. . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold 
and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
with a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings, 
sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
and my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
and the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
and the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now,
it's just a spring clean for the May queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by but in the long run
there's still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know,
the piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
and did you know your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind down the road 
our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
who shines white light and wants to show
how ev'rything still turns to gold. 

And if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
to be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
