Chapter 1- Big Ole Jet on the Line-up, and Jubans newest student.

Narita international airport was always busy, handling the immense load of international flights to and from the greater Tokyo area. Today was no exception as three middle school students waited as welcoming committee for an American exchange student.


"Arrrgh! Why did we volunteer! I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" Ami and Lita just ignored Serena, as usual, and instead stared fixedly on the gate that was supposed to have deposited their new friend right in their laps.

"Lita, where do you think the new student is?" asked Ami, head in a book as usual.

"I don't know, but when I find them I'm gonna take them to the nearest bridge and-" Just then a voice sounded to their left.

"Excuse me, do any of you go to Juban middle school?" Turning, Ami and Lita were greeted by short blond hair, sparkling blue eyes and shining white teeth. It seemed that they almost melted into the floor at the sight of him. Their voices seemed to leave to.

"Uh…uh…hi…uh…" was all Lita could get out. Ami was just speechless.

"Hi! I'm Serena!"

"How do ya do? Names Bob." They both shook hands, and Serena got a closer look. He was handsome, but not like Darrien. There was a ruggedness to his face though, which was the exact reason the other two girls were falling over themselves. "Um, are they okay?" Looking behind her, Serena shrugged. "They're fine, they've just had a lot to eat. Come on! Lets show you around."


Riding the train to Azabu, Bob couldn't help but realize that both Ami and Lita were close to him. If you consider close two inches away in either direction. Serena, however, was happily munching on a piece of candy from the vending machines.

"So, where are you from?" asked Ami, slightly blushing.

"Oh, you can talk?" Ami turned so red it looked like her face was turning into a tomato. "Well, if you really must pry, I'm from Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia." Lita perked up at this.

"Wait, your from the city? That is so cool! What's it like? Is it true that people carry guns around in plain sight?" Slightly taken aback by the last question, Bob rebounded quickly.

"Well, if you walk around in America with a gun in the open, you don't last very long. But Philly's awesome. We have four sports teams, three parades a year, and the cheesesteak!"

"A…cheesesteak?" Laughing, much to the confusion of the other passengers, he continued.

"Don't worry. If you can cook, I'll teach you how to make one."


Queen Beryl surveyed her forces. Each had been recruited willingly, fooled into joining her cause. There was no way out for them now. Each would serve, or they would die. Jedite, Neflyte, Zoycite, and Kunzite each reported that each human here was willing to serve, until death. Smiling at her pawns marching off, she promised herself that this time there would be no failure.

"Alright! Its about time you showed up!" Mina and Ray were at the game center, near the Sailor V game, as usual. When they saw Bob, however, they reacted in much the same way as Ami and Lita.

"Is this the new way to say hello?" Bob whispered into Serena's ear. She merely dropped her head in exhasperation. It was then that Bob noticed where they were. "Hey, hey, an arcade!" Walking off, he browsed through the Crown, leaving the girls to swoon.

"Isn't he dreamy?" said Ray.

"Oh, geez yes! And he can cook!" Lita was nearly falling out of her seat.

"And he seems really smart!" It was the first time Ami was focused on something other than books.

Mina just sat there in a daze.

Only Serena was uneffected, possibly because she was the only one with a…boyfriend. "Hey, do you think he could be a monster?" The others looked at her like she had sprouted a second head.

"No way! He's from America, remember!" Now Lita looked mad.

"That's right, Lita, and he didn't try and drain the passengers on the plane." They all nodded at this.

"Plus, we would've sensed it, wouldn't we?" Both Ami and Lita nodded.

Mina just sat there, dazed.

Serena sighed again, then turned to see Darien walking towards them.

"Hey, Serena, whats going on?" "We have a new exchange student from America! His names Bob and-"

"Bob? Come on, that can't be his real name. Why would he call himself that instead of Robert?"

Serena shrugged. "Maybe it just sounds good to him? It sure sounds good to them." She pointed to the others, who were starring at the single blonde head, surrounded by a crowd, playing the Sailor V game with his back turned, both eyes closed, and using one hand.
