Chapter 1- The new girls
It was dusk, the dimming grey light casting shadows over Tokyo. In the top window of a tall apartment building, three figures surveyed the area before them.
"So this is Tokyo" one of the shadowy figures said. Her voice was feminine, sweet. The second rested her head on the balcony.
"I miss home already. Why is it so cold?" she asked. Her voice was warm, soothing. The third shook her head.
"Cold? It's summer!" she said. Her voice was sharp, and pleasant.
"So?" the second replied.
"Relax girls, we have a job to do." The first intervened smoothly. The second stood up straighter.
"Right, stop Them. Find the Sailor Scouts" she said softly.
"So… dose this mean what I think it means?" the third almost whined. The first giggled.
"We'll enroll in the school tomorrow" she said. the three figures turned to study Tokyo once again. The sleeping city, unaware of what turmoil was to come…

Serena, for once in her life, was early for school. In her defense, she had gone to bed early in anticipation for the next day and set her alarm early as well. Over the holidays she had done a lot of thinking and while she wasn't going to completely change, she had decided it might help to pay attention during school. So here she was, as the rest of the class filed into the class room and stared at her in shock.
"Serena, what's gotten in to you, I never thought I'd see you at school this early" said Molly as she took her seat. Serena grinned at her.
"Just thought maybe, I should try something shocking!" she replied. Attention turned to the front as their teacher walked in.
"Class, today I would like to welcome some new students. Girls?" she beckoned. Three girls walked into the room. The first was a girl with dark brown hair and eyes that could only be called bronze. She smiled sweetly and shyly at the class.
"My name is Asha" she said hesitantly.
The second girl was a little bolder. Her bright orange hair was unlikely to ever be overlooked and her golden eyes blazed unashamedly.
"Hello." She said cheerfully "I'm Lea" she poked the girl next to her.
"What? Oh…" the girl blushed. She had pale blonde hair, almost silver but not quite. Her eyes were silver, and shone with sincerity.
"Nice to meet you all, my name's Tia" she said, smiling cheerfully.
Serena guessed the three girls were sisters. While the way they talked and acted was different, and their colorings were quite different; Tia had the palest white skin she had ever seen, Lea was slightly tanned and Asha's skin was a kind of pink, their features were similar and the way they interacted told her they were either sisters or best friends.
"Asha, Tia and Lea just moved here from Australia, so be nice, okay." Miss Haruka said. "There is a seat near the window, one at the back, and one next to Serena…who is actually here early for once. Wave please." Serena raised her hand.
The three girls exchanged glances. Asha went to the window seat, Lea walked up the back, and Tia plonked herself next to Serena. She grinned at Serena cheerfully.
"Hello!" she held out a hand. "I'm Tia!" she seemed to have a talent for ending her sentences with exclamation marks. She seemed cheerful, and it was almost impossible not to like her immediately.
"So, you're Serena?" she asked. Serena nodded.
"Well, Serena, your broach is glowing." She pointed out. Serena glanced down, just in time to see her broach cease it's glowing. She glanced back at Tia, but the girl just smiled and turned her attention back to the teacher. Serena made a note to talk to the girls and Luna about it.
In break time, Tia dragged Serena over to the other two new girls. Serena decided she saw the scouts enough out of school and she could spend lunch with these mysterious girls, and maybe she could find out some information.
"Asha, Lea! This is Serena!" said Tia brightly. Lea rolled her eyes.
"Beware the exclamation marks Tia" she said jokingly. Tia blushed, and stuck her tongue out.
"Sometimes, you two are so rude" said Asha, but calmly, as if she knew she could never change them and wouldn't want to. She turned the effects of her smile on Serena. Somehow, she felt calmed.
"I'm Asha. My sisters can be silly, but…" she paused. Serena nodded.
"I know what you mean." She replied. They watched the two for a bit.
"Say Serena" said Lea, turning from Tia suddenly. Tia pouted.
"Yes?" Replied Serena curiously.
"Tia will die if she doesn't get good clothes soon, I'm sure Asha needs new nail polish to add to her collection…" she continued, ignoring Tia's indignant "Hey!"
"And I'd love to know where the game stores and video arcades are, so I was wondering if you would go shopping with us and show us the best places?" she smiled convincingly. Was it just Serena's imagination or had Tia's eyes just glowed. With what, she wasn't quite sure.
"Sure, I'd love to! We can go to the Arcade, get some ice-cream" she agreed.
"Defiantly the ice-cream!" said Tia as her sisters laughed.
As the four girls left the school that afternoon, Serena felt eyes on the back of her head. She turned, and saw no one. 'Probably just my imagination' she thought dismissively and turned back to follow the other three, who were calling for her to catch up.
In the shadow cast by the afternoon sun, a pair of ice blue eyes watched them.
Well? I may be a little slow in getting new chapters up, I apologise in advance. Constructive critisism is REALLY welcome. My friend is bad at that, she just tells me it's good. She's no help at all. Mwahahahahahahaha.
