"Who is she though?" asked a nosey Serena, who was referring to the new
girl in their class.
"I don't know, I already told you that," replied Amy.
"Oh come on Amy, you know something," stated Lita, who had just been informed on the current situation.
"All I know is that I was getting strong vibes from her, that is ALL," Amy sat down on a park bench. Serena sat down also, while Lita stood behind the bench, watching Amy on her mini-computer. Mina and Raye came walking up, "Hey! What's up?" They said in unison.
"Amy is trying to get some info on the new girl in our class." said Serena, excitedly. Mina and Raye stood blankly. Lita continued: "Amy got some strong vibes from her in class, and so she's checking to see if she can get anything on her."
"Oh!" Mina and Raye responded, looking at each other, then took their place behind the park bench and watched Amy type.
"Well..." Amy started.
"Well, What?!" Serena whined.
All the girls glared at Serena, who had a sweat drop running down her head.
"Well, Her name is Star, as we already know. She's 15 years old, and she originally lived in the United States."
"Go Amy," Lita said from behind. "Anything else?"
"Not really, except for this, she can beat anyone in a..." Amy was cut off by the sound of shouting.
Rini came running up to the five girls and told them what happened. "This girl was jogging home from school, and then she met up with Darien and me," Rini started. "She passed us and then Darien went after her...and that's how it all got started." "They should be here any sec..." Suddenly a girl went flying past them, with Darien not far behind, but he was too tired to continue.
"Alright, you win...!!" yelled an out of breath Darien.
The girl didn't reply. She slowed to a jog, turned around and yelled back at Darien: "Great race!" She turned back around and to her surprise, a tall figure stood right in front of her. Unfortunately, the girl's breaks were not very successful, and she ran into her, knocking her to the ground.
"Oops," she whispered, looking down to see exactly whom she collided with. She had short dirty-blonde hair, and appeared to be a man, but was not. "I'm sorry ma'am," she apologized.
"That's okay," now fully standing, she replied, rather surprised that she recognized her as a woman. "My name is Amara, this is Michelle, and that's Trista." Amara introduced two other women, who had walked up to her.
"Hello, my name is.." she was cut off by the sound of Serena's voice, who had been hugging Darien, now walking up to see the group.
"Hey Amara, Michelle, and Trista, come on over here, we're trying to get some info on this weird American girl named Star who just started going to our school!" Serena shouted.
The girl looked at the ground, and then she started walking away. Amara saw her leaving and yelled after her: "Hey, I never got your name!"
She stopped and looked up, tears in her eyes, "Star." She ran off, out of the park and through the city.
Everyone gave Serena a deadly glare, even Darien was furious. Serena stepped back as the biggest sweat drop you've ever seen ran down her head.

Star ran as fast as she could, she wanted to get away, away from everyone. She wanted to be alone in God's creation, alone in the beauty of the earth and all the living creatures on it. This was the only place she felt totally comfortable. She slowly came to her senses and kneeled beside a fountain, her head resting on its edge. Her mind was filled with the words of the meatball-headed girl. '...We're trying to get some info on this weird American girl named Star who just started going to our school...' She could help but let a tear run from her eye, down her cheek, and into the fountain's crystal clear water. She unclipped her locket and admired it, as she watched the water ripples that her tear had created, and then she noticed someone else in her reflection. Star stood up, quickly clipping her locket back in it's place on her school uniform, and wiping the tears from her eyes, and then she turned around. "Hello, my name is Hotaru Tomoe, what's yours?" The shy girl looked about Star's age, with dark violet hair, and deep purple eyes.
"Nice to meet you, My name's Starlight Scott," Star answered Hotaru, her quiet voice cracking up a bit.
"What's wrong?" Hotaru asked as a tear escaped from Star's eyes, which were flushed red from crying.
"It's nothing..." Star replied as she sat on the edge of the fountain.
Hotaru's shy nature wanted to remain quiet, but something in this girl, something about her just made her want to ask her questions, and try to help her with her problem. She looked strait at the girl whom she had just met, something about her just made Hotaru care for her, but what was it? "Are you sure you're okay?" She asked again.
"Well..." Star admitted, "Everyone here thinks that I'm weird, just because I'm from another country, and because of my speed...Why is everyone against me?" Hotaru recognized her feelings, because she herself was an outcast in the eyes of others.
"I thought Darien was going to be my first friend here, when he offered to race with me...But I guess I was wrong." Star finished, another tear falling from her cheek. As it landed in the fountain, Star looked at her reflection, then suddenly, a figure that looked amazingly like her appeared, then vanished. Hotaru saw it too, and was wondering: 'Could she be...' "Darien? Darien Shields?" Hotaru asked.
"Yes, I think that's his name, do you know him?" Star replied.
A smile came across Hotaru's face as she nodded, "So what actually happened?" She asked eagerly.
Star looked a bit embarrassed and sad at the same time, "Well...I was racing Darien through the park, when I passed five girls gathered around a bench..." Star began.
"Five girls?" asked Hotaru.
"Yeah, five...Wait, not including the little pink-haired one, so there were six." Star continued... "So, after I passed the girls, Darien yelled at me to say that...Well...I win."
Hotaru giggled, 'She must be a fast one the beat Darien,'
Star continued telling her story, describing everything that happened in perfect detail.
Hotaru looked at her newly found friend with compassion and encouragement. "Just ignore Serena, she can be real...um...how do you say it?" Hotaru was careful at her choice of words. "Say, she doesn't think about what she says before she says it?" Hotaru finished.
"Yeah, I guess," Star agreed, "Do you know any of those girls?"
Hotaru looked a little embarrassed as she said: "I know all of them..."
Star giggled and said: "Well, I'm glad to have met you, Hotaru, but I've got to be going."
"Where will you go?" asked Hotaru
"Well, I've got to find an apartment and things like that...Why?" Star replied curiously.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to come over to my house and meet my...'Family'." Hotaru replied with a half-smile on her face
Star giggled a little bit and then agreed.
"I don't know, I already told you that," replied Amy.
"Oh come on Amy, you know something," stated Lita, who had just been informed on the current situation.
