Usagi eyes the girl sitting next to her while Ms. H speaks. Usagi leans over to her,

"Hi, I'm Usaki Tsukino... who are you?"

The girl looks up from her writing to Usagi and smiles a little,

"I'm Ruri Tadishada. Nice to meet you."

The bell rings and the students flood from class. Usagi waits for Ruri then leaves. Usagi smiles at Ruri,

"So.. do you like it here?"

Ruri shrugs a bit then sighs,

"I... I guess. I miss my old school, though. I don't really have any friends here..."

Usagi gasps,

"If you wanted friends you should of told me! I know plenty of people! Let's go! You need to meet Ami and Makoto!"

Ruri tilts her head,

"Who?"

Usagi grabs Ruri's wrist and they go out side. Ami and Makoto are waiting for Usagi. Ami waves,

"Hello Usagi! Who is your friend?"

Usagi giggles,

"Her name is Ruri! Makoto, Ami, meet Ruri! Ruri, meet Makoto and Ami!"

Ruri bows her head,

"Nice to meet you!"

Luna jumps on Usagi's shoulder and eyes Ruri. Immeadiately she suspects Ruri is a scout by the way she is so shy and second because of the pendant on her uniform that is similar to Usagi's. Usagi looks at her watch,

"All right, good-bye Ruri. I have to go. See you at school tomorrow!"

Makoto waves and does Ami,

"Bye!"

Ruri's guardian cat comes to her heels as they leave,

"You need to unite with the other scouts, Ruri. You mustn't fight alone forever."

Ruri nods,

"I will, Fiona, I will... just give me time... sooner or later Sailor Destiny will join the inner scouts... no longer be a loner."

Fiona nods,

"You must. Luna needs the addition. I can't let my dear sister and Artemis watch the scouts alone like that."

Ruri frowns,

"Let me break it down to Usagi slowly... When she finds out my true identity as Sailor Destiny she HAS to invite me to join the inner scouts... she just has to"

Meanwhile at Hikawa Shrine

Rei frowns,

"So, you believe she's a scout?"

Luna nods,

"The pendant on her uniform proves it. She must be!"

Usagi smiles,

"Well she IS nice... I wonder if she knows Mamoru..."

Minako narrows her eyes,

"Why would she?"

"I don't know... she just might"
