Outside Astara Hill:

Miyuki walked up the hill carrying a large luggage bag in hand. She could feel the handle rub up against her dark wool skirt. As she climbed the hill she noticed a lot of younger Miator girls that she had seen a lot during her upper classman days. With a sigh she made it to the foot of Miator and whipped the sweat from under her blue bangs.

Miator School Halls:

As she stepped inside she could see the lighting spill onto the statue of Mary found in the school lobby. She stopped to pray and noticed a few girls staring at her. One of them who appeared to be a frail first year asked, "Are you a new teacher at this school?" Miyuki smiled and realized that would be obvious by her wool outfit and tight bun. "Yes" She answered sternly so that the children would respect her.

She walked away leaving the small blond haired girl to stare at her. She seemed to chat with her pink haired friend about it. Miyuki pulled her mind away from them and walked to the administration office. With a deep breath she opened the door and stood for the older teachers to examine.

"I'm glad you came" the eldest of them all said. She appeared to glow even though she was old and her hair was grey. The Sister had invited Miyuki to stay as a teacher at Miator in order to avoid marriage. With relief Miyuki had decided to become a teaching nun at Miator. Her light smile put the other sisters at ease.

"I hope to impart some knowledge and rules onto the girls whom I've known for some time." Miyuki realized how weird it would be for her friends to see her back here. "I'm so happy to be able to spend a long time at the school I love." The sisters smiled and seemed to think of that as an acceptable answer.

Hikari and Yaya's dorm:

Hikari heard a knock on the door and rolled over in her sleep. It was a Saturday so she had decided to spend the morning sleeping. When she looked over she noticed that Yaya was still asleep in her bed. Hikari brushed a hand through her light blond locks and then slipped into her light robe.

As she pulled back the door she noticed a worried Amane in her school uniform. She pulled the older girl into her room and shut the door. Yaya seemed to wake up from her sleep and stare at them. "What's wrong?" Hikari asked this question in supreme fear. It was the faces that Amane wore that made her seem so afraid.

"Look at this" Amane said holding out a sealed letter. Hikari grabbed the folded paper and read it to herself. Yaya watched the way their faces changed and decided to get out from under her sheets. The dark haired girl ceased to care if they saw her in her small red nightgown.

Hikari held the letter in amazement. "How cruel" she said with a sad tone. "Why would anyone think we cheated?" Yaya snatched the letter from her friend and read it over in concern. "Who wrote this?" She said with an angry tone.

Amane shrugged and took the note back. "I woke up and it was sitting outside my door. My roommate was shocked to see it there." She placed her hands around Hikari.
"Chances are it's just a jealous couple who didn't even have the chance to participate."

Yaya placed a hand on her hip, "And if they're targeting you that means they have to be Spica students." Amane nodded at this and tried to comfort Hikari. Yaya stared at the note in anger. Whoever started this would have to pay.

Strawberry Dorms Lunchroom:

Tamao sat drinking tea and watching the time tick by on the clock. She noticed the figure of Chikaru dragging Miyuka with her. Tamao had requested that the foursome have lunch together. Nagisa sat across the table eating pudding while making delighted faces.

Tamao still couldn't be sure of why she felt so strongly for Miyuka. Was it possible to find love when none had existed before? With a sigh she motioned the other girls to join them. Chikaru seemed to be a little annoyed and some what happy at the same time. Miyuka looked dreamily at the scenery.

Chikaru slid into place and grabbed a fry from Tamao's plate. "Miyuki's back, did you know that?" Nagisa and Tamao looked at their friend in shock. "Back how?" Tamao asked this while staring in shock.

Chikaru replied, "She teaches here now. She plans to teach English and Literature to third years." Tamao and Nagisa smiled about what Miyuki looked like as a teacher. Somehow the thought that things never really changed made Nagisa seem a bit sad. Tamao looked at her friend with comfort which only made Miyuka feel awkward.

Before they could go order food Kaname appeared with a bucket of letters in hand. "Tamao, Chikaru, I hate to say this but I need your help." Tamao frowned and snatched a letter between her hands. Chikaru followed suit. They sat their reading while Kaname looked terrified.

Student Council Room:

The three members of the council looked over at the etolie who appeared to be quite frazzled. Tamao could understand why they felt that way. "Why is someone so upset about the etolie election, and why complain now when it's been over for months." Her questions seemed to be the same as everyone else's.

Kaname sighed and placed her hands on her head in a sad expression. "We need to discover who did this and soon. If we don't Spica's reputation will be totaled." Chikaru nodded and looked through the basket of hate mail. "This person must have a following" she added.

Tamao looked over at the sunset wondering how many troubles the summer could give them.
