Chapter 1: City of Angels

Once upon a time, there were three little girls ...


/H/

Chug! Chug! Chug! The chanting could be heard from outside the fraternity house Theta Omicron as nearly everyone in the house participated in tonight's festivities. Sitting in two adjacent chairs were a young blond and a raven-haired man who both had their heads thrown back and were consuming more beer than was thought to be humanly possible. Suddenly there was an eruption of cheers as one had finally finished off the last pitcher, And the winner is, Tenoh! A couple frat boys picked the blond off the chair and was hoisted onto their shoulders, where they headed outside and paraded over their lawn before toppling over onto the turf when the sprinklers came on.

Now that was a spectacular performance by Miss Michiru Kaioh!! Let's see the instant replay on that final act! A sports broadcaster shouted into his microphone, turning to his partner for her opinion.

Yes, here it is now ... the full twisting layout couldn't have been any more perfect, let's see what the judges think! The camera now flicked over to a young aqua-haired girl who was sitting next to her coach, looking up at the boards waiting to see her score. She took a swig from her water bottle and nodded numbly as her coach whispered a few words to her.

And the judges agreed with us, 9.7's and 9.8's all across the board, that's a tough score to beat! Michiru jumped up and hugged her coach, and flashed a smile to the camera giving a thumbs up.

Class, you have 15 minutes to finish up your tests. The scratching of pencils on paper suddenly increased, when a loud snore suddenly broke the silence, causing the teacher to look up and see who made the disturbance. Setsuna Meioh! In the third row from the back there was a mess of dark green hair over the desk as the student had her head down, her pencil still in her hand. The teacher shook his head and walked over to her desk, before suddenly slamming a meter stick on her desk. She jumped up and shouted, , making many of the other students burst out into laughter. Blinking a few times she looked up to the teacher who didn't look too amused.


... who grew up to be three very different ladies ...


/H/

There was a large bang! that hit the ground causing the floor beneath them to shake, though moments later there was cheering so loud and a bell that chimed several times. Tonight's winner, Tenoh!! A man shouted from the center of the ring, raising Haruka's arm high in the air. The crowd slowly started to thin out as the people collected their money; Haruka waited patiently her victory to pay off.

30 minutes later she left the shady - not to mention illegal - boxing arena and headed to her car, driving off into the darkness.

Mommy mommy! Look! It's her!!

Yes sweetie I can see her too, don't point now! A mother scolded her daughter. Meanwhile on the stage there was a ballet performance, the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies' starting up, with a solo dancer with striking aqua hair who was lighting up the stage. Everyone in the audience seemed to be enchanted by her and followed her every move, until the song finally ended and she exited the stage. There was a frenzy of applause, and several shouts of and Encore!'.

Mommy! When I grow up, I wanna be a dancer too!

A candle lightly flickered in the window as a soft summer breeze blew in. The woman sitting at the desk looked up momentarily, but her attention was quickly returned to her immediate task. The smooth transition from letter to letter was neatly written as Setsuna Meioh finished her novel, the last line reading: The last thing he saw before Death came and embraced him was her face. She cried. (A/N: I couldn't resist!!!! *falls over laughing*)


... They're brilliant, they're beautiful, and they work for me. My name is Serenity.
