A/N: This was just an interesting idea that came to me. What if the scouts were sent to America and, while there, met up with the X-Men? I will note, I'm using X-Men Evolution for reference because, not only have I seen more of that than the original (sob) but they are more the right age. Please Read and Review, I want to know how this is turning out!

Chapter 1

"AAHAAUGH!" A blonde, pigtailed girl cried out when she saw the big 20 marked on her paper.

"Calm down, Serena. It's just one test!" Her best friend, Molly, stood next to her on the street, one hand on her shoulder in comfort.

"Yeah, but it's my worst one yet, my mom is gonna kill me! Then, she's gonna ground me till I'm thirty!"

"What now, meatball-head?" Serena looked up to see a girl with long, purplish black hair staring at her.

"Oh, nothing!" and she hid the paper behind her back.

But the girl wasn't fooled, and she reached around and snatched the paper. "A 20?? That's bad, even for you!"

"C'mon, Raye, give it back!"

"Oh, here." She handed it to the girl. "You're such a crybaby."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

Molly stood to the side, looking from Raye to Serena with an exasperated look on her face. "Oh, well, I gotta get home, Serena. See you later!" She waved to the bickering girls, then left hurriedly, without looking back.

Once she was gone, Raye turned to Serena, a serious look on her face. "I've got something important to tell you. Let's get the girls and meet back at the temple."

Later, the girls sat in the temple run by Raye's grandfather. Besides Serena and Raye, there were three others. Lita, a tough girl with brown hair in a ponytail, Mina, with long, blonde hair, and Amy, the smartest of the group, with short, blue hair.

"So, what's so important, Raye?" Lita asked.

"I did a fire reading last night. I got something about people, a group of people, with some kind of powers. I felt like we would meet them soon, but. . . not here."

"What do you mean, not here?"

"I don't know, just not in this area."

"Well, you don't think they're cardians, do you?"

"No, they're normal humans. At least, they aren't monsters. But I don't know if they are good or not. They could be on our side."

"Well, scouts, we better keep a sharp eye out." A white cat with a crescent moon on his forehead jumped up onto the low table they were kneeled at, followed by a black cat with the same emblem.

"Well, of course, Artemis." The black cat answered. "Even if these people are good, there are still cardians out there."

"Luna's right. We should be extra careful until we find out who these new people are." Amy said.

"Aw, but Amy, Raye said they weren't even around here!" Serena, of course.

"Ooh, I just remembered!" Mina cried out. "We got a chance to visit America!"

Silence for a moment as they all stared at Mina in shock.

"WHAT??" The whole group cried.

"And when were you going to tell us?" Raye shouted. "I swear, you're turning into Serena!" Amy cut in. "How did you get it, Mina?"

"Well, some of the classes are doing this exchange thing. Each of us gets to bring two friends with us, and we get to go to a US high school for a week!" They stared at her for a minute. "What?"

Raye voiced their concern. "You only get to bring two each? Which two?"

"Oh, don't worry, Ann said she'd bring two of you. You know Ann, right?"

"How could we not?" Serena mumbled. She and Ann didn't really get along.

"Isn't she Alan's brother?" Lita asked. Mina nodded. "Oh, Alan is soo dreamy. He looks. . ."

"Like your old boyfriend, we know, we know!" They all cried as she stared at them.

After a minute, Darien stuck his head in the room. "Hey, girls. Serena's mom told me you were here." He came into the room, just barely catching the girls' faces as they stared at Mina, before Serena jumped up and tugged him into the room.

"Ooh, Darien, I'm soo excited. We get to go to America!"

"Oh, is Mina bringing you?" He asked, not at all surprised.

"Wha-- . . . How did you know about this?" Serena gasped, stunned.

"Didn't Mina tell you? I'm tagging along to take a look at a college over there."

Serena and the others stared at Mina, who grinned nervously. "Uhmm . . . sorry?" She had to run pretty fast to outrun the other four girls, with Serena in the lead for once. Darien sat laughing, watching the girls chase each other around.

Meanwhile, Bayville High was preparing for visitors. It was Thursday afternoon.

"Attention please!" the principal's voice came over the intercom. "Monday, we are going to have a surprise. A group of students is coming to visit for a week, all the way from Japan!" A buzz went through the school. Visitors? Japan? A whole week!

"Wow, Kittie, did you hear about this?" One boy asked in a German accent.

"I dunno, Kurt. He, like, should have told us sooner, though."

The principal continued. "They will be here Monday morning, and will leave early Saturday. They will have to find places to stay. If any of you would like to house one or two of them, please contact me by tomorrow afternoon. Thank you, that is all."

"Too bad we can't, eh? They would have fun at the institute." Kurt turned to Kittie.

"Well, we can, like, ask the Professor."

"You think he would allow it? What if they find out?"

"We'll just be careful when they're here. We can ask him tonight."
