High Velocity Prologue
Usagi sat in algebra class, bored to death. Outside, the sun shone brightly against a pale blue sky. How she wished she could be out there, a chocolate ice cream cone in each hand, enjoying the wonderful weather. Instead, she was stuck in HERE, where nothing even remotely interested her, and worse, where there was no food. She couldn't wait until lunch when she could joke around with Minako, Makoto, and Ami over lasagna…

Home Economics class was always a blast for Makoto. She happily stirred a bowl of cake mix as the sweet aroma of her fresh batch of brownies sifted through the air. She made a mental note to hide some in her book bag in a place where Usagi couldn't find them, because Usagi knew after Home Ec, Mako-chan always kept some samples. 'Just for once', Makoto thought, 'I'd like to get a chance to taste some of my own food…'

Minako didn't especially LIKE Physical Science Honors, but she sure did have her eyes set on the new teacher. 'He must have to go confession every day,' she mumbled lazily, 'coz it must be some sort of SIN to be that fine…'
"Miss Minako?"
She snapped her head up, noticing that she had just drooled over her anatomy of the heart workbook. Her teacher looked over her amusingly.
"And for your information, Miss Minako," he said to the class, "I go to Church every Sunday." The rest of the room laughed as Minako buried herself in her workbook, blushing furiously.

The library's calmness usually soothed Ami's soul. The endless cases of books, filled with knowledge, just waiting to be opened, always caught Ami's twinkling eyes in anticipation.
But not today.
Today was different.
She picked up a book and flipped through it repeatidly, barely glimpsing at the pages. Something was in the air, and it unnerved her.
Something was going to happen.
A/N: Much more in chapters to follow. Hope everyone likes how the prologue has come ^_^
