Prologue

"Bye guys. Have Fun!" Serena said as she watched her friends board their plane for summer vacation.

"We will meatball head. 'Light', keep her out of trouble, will ya." Haruka said as she stepped onto the tarmac.

"Sure thing Windy. Just don't 'blow' while you're away." Nicki replied as she and the others waved.

"It's too bad we all have summer jobs. I really would have liked to go to Hawaii with them." Hotaru said as she watched the plane taxi then take off.

"Me too, but you can't forget they payed for our winter vacation while they stayed here. So we pay for summer while they go." Lita said as she stretched and looked around the terminal.

"Yeah especially since it took us two days and ten sleeping pills to get Lita through the flight." Raye said as she held Serena close.

"Let's go guys. Andy and Darien are waiting and I've got work in an hour." Serena said as she stepped out of Raye's embrace.

"I swear you guys act like children. 'Pyro' stop picking on 'Lightning'. 'Princess' is right we all have jobs to get to." Rika said as she straightened her leather jacket, pulled her keys out of her pocket and headed for the parking lot.

As the others scrambled to catch up, someone bumped into Rika knockoing her off balance.

"Hey watch it!" Rika exclaimed as she grabbed the coat of the person who bumped into her.

"Excuse me." the young man said as he turned to help her up.

"Do I know you, sir?" Rika asked as she tried to get a better look at the man who ran into her.

The young man in question removed his sunglassesand a gasp was heard from Raye and Serena.

"Jedite, what are you doing here? I thought we got rid of you and the other nega-verse scum." Raye said as she slowly stepped in front of Serena, and Lita and Hotaru stepped behind Rika.

"If you ladies would come with me all will be explained." he said as he stared into Rika's eyes.

Shaking her head to clear it, Rika turned to look at the others and waited for the answer. As the others signaled yes, Rika turnedback to him and nodded for him to lead the way.
