-----

"Ok Simon... In order to be our friend... you know what you have to do!" Jenny Minaguechi stated to the very nervous Simon Liko.

Jenny Minaguechi, otherwise known as the most popular girl as Mugen Gakuen Acadamy. At least in the 8th grade. She has two other friends; Yuri Iizuka and Marie Tomiyoka.

Simon nodded and turned around and walked tword a girl. This girl's name was Hotaru Tomoe. He stopped and quickly turned around back to the three best friends.

"I can't do this!" He shouted at them. "Hotaru is my best friend!"

Jenny. Yuri and Marie all laughed.

And Simon was Hotaru's best friend. Her only friend for that matter.

"Either concept I'd say she WAS your best friend."

Simon glared at Jenny.

"What are you talking about Jenny?"

Jenny smirked.

"Well... considering that she is a FREAK... after what she did to Billy... who knows what she will do to you... and considering Billy was nice to her and all..."

Simon's glare softened and her sighed.

He turned around and walked up to his friend.

"Remember Simon! Your reputation will be born from this!!" Jenny yelled to them and it sooned was finished with a laugh from all 3 friends.

They turned the corner just down the hall as Simon watched them and they quickly returned with a new character.

Billy.

Billy Imayi. He was the only one besides Simon to have ever known to be nice to Hotaru. He was Jenny's other guy friend, along with Yuri. Everyone likes Billy. Billy Likes Everyone. But a couple days ago Billy showed up at school with bruises everywhere, and a bandage around his head. He told everybody that the one responsible for the damage... was Hotaru Tomoe... which caused even more people to despise her... and her best friend to be afraid of her.

Simon shut his eyes and walked foward to his locker, which was right by Hotaru's.

Hotaru turned to Simon and smiled at him. He acnologed her smiled but they remained silent.

Next thing Simon knew, Billy was right behind him.

Billy slapped Simon's back gentally and this cause words to pour out of Simon's mouth.

"Hotaru... I need to tell you something."

Hotaru turned to Simon.

"Yes?"

Simon took in a deep breath.

"Hotaru... you... you scare me!!!" He shouted which caused everybody in the hall to look thier direction.

Hotaru just looked at him in shock.

"After Billy telling me you did that to him I have finally come to a desition about what I'm going to do..."

Hotaru then decided it was time to speak up.

"I didn't do anything to Billy!!! It wasn't me!!!"

"Oh give it a rest Hotaru!" A voice said.

Hotaru, Simon and Billy turned.

It was Jenny and her evil slaves.

"Everybody likes Billy... and Everybody hates YOU!... Who do you think we are going to believe."

Hotaru turned away from her and back at Simon.

"So you want to stop being friends?"

Simon shook his head.

"No... Because I never WAS YOUR FRIEND!"

Hotaru was oviously hurt by his words to her but all she did was nod, get a final book out of her locker, shut it, and ran down the hall as fast as she possibly could with all eyes on her as she ran... including the eyes of two young women.

Michelle Kaioh and Amara Tenoh.

Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus.

They studied the event in the hall that had just happened.

"That poor girl... Amara.."

"No!"

"But Amara.. She needs help..."

Amara looked over at Michelle's hopefull face.

"Uhh... Fine... Let's go see if she's ok..."

Michelle smiled and they both walked down the hall. They passed Jenny and her crew, congragulating the boy named Simon into thier group.

"That makes sence now.." Amara said quietly.

Michelle nodded as they walked down the hall. They turned the corner in which the girl ran and it showed a long stream of windows and a staircase going down to the exit.

Michelle and Amara looked around, but they couldn't find her.

Then they looked out the window, and they seen her.

She was sitting on a bench under a tree by the street with her head in her hands. She was oviously crying.

The next thing they both knew, Simon Liko had showed up and was also looking out the window a couple feet down from them.

Amara growled and started to walk twords him, But Michelle stopped her.

"Amara... Our mission is only to see if she is ok.. remember?"

Amara nodded and turned back to go down the staircase.

Michelle soon followed but looked out the window one last time.

"Amara!"

Amara moved back up the stairs and over to her.

"Yes?"

"Look!"

Amara and Michelle looked out the window and saw a hat flying twords Hotaru. Hotaru quickly raised her head, stood up and caught the hat. She walked twords a pink haired, pig-tailed girl. She returned the hat and they shook hands.

"I think she will be fine.." Michelle stated with a smile.

Amara smiled back and they walked past Simon, who was sadly watching Hotaru quickly replace him in her life.
