Well, here's a new chapter. I hope you all like my story and continue to review. I'm trying to update this story once a week. Oh yeah, if you know the name to Sailor Pluto please e-mail me and tell me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailormoon or any related characters. I only own the characters that I put in this story.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Two Months Later at School (October) *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Serena was walking to class when she bumped into three familiar faces. She said sorry and so did they. Then they said in unison, "Hey Serena!" Then she looked at them closely and said, "I know you. You're Amara (Sailor Uranus), Michelle (Sailor Neptune), and Sara (Sailor Pluto)." Then Michelle said, "Nothing gets passed you does it?" Then the bell rang and their first class started.
At math class, their teacher introduced the new students. Serena noticed another new face. That face wasn't the ones she saw this morning. The teacher said, "These students are transfer students from other schools. They were transferred here because of their high grades. Their names are Sara, Michelle, Amara, and Sheena (I put her name in this story because she is my coach). Students, I want you all to introduce yourselves when you get spare time." With that said, the bell rang and all the students left the class. Serena watched as Sheena walked up to the 'track stars' group and talked with them as if she knew them from somewhere.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Serena's POV *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
'Well, today is another day just like usual. Every subject in its order and every teacher just blabbing away is mostly how every day feels. Today seems like it will never end. Even if today would end, I would still have track practice just like every Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Each practice is one hour made up of stretching, drills, timed laps, and warm- ups. Since today is Friday, I have track practice. Worst of all, I have to see the 'track stars'. They will probably talk about me like they have for the past two months (I wanted to use months because it will sound like she knows them more and that she won't sound so judge mental). I wonder why Amara, Michelle, and Sara moved to this school? I'll ask them at lunch. I wonder if Sheena was part of their group. I guess I'll have to talk to her to find out.'
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* At Lunch*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Serena's morning classes are done and now it's lunch. She entered the cafeteria with Mina, Amy, Lita, Ray, Amara, Michelle, and Sara. They picked out their meals, paid for them, and headed for an open seat. They finally found one all the way at the end of the cafeteria. They took a seat, ate really quickly, and headed out for their break. They talked for a few minutes when they bumped into the 'track stars' group. The groups stared at each other for a long time with envious stares. Latterly stared at Ray, Hiromi at Amy, Katrina at Lita, Heather at Mina, Jasmine at Amara, Erica at Michelle, and Jessilyn at Sara. Each one of them felt something similar or interesting about each other. A yelling Serena cut off their stares.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The right side of the Playground *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
The groups left in opposite directions, walked a few steps, sat under a tree, and talked. Ray said, "I felt weird vibes around Latterly, like she is my twin or something." Then they all said, "Hey, that's what I felt too." Then Amy said, "I did not feel any negative energy around them. They're probably not evil, but just to be safe let's just assume they're evil." "Hello, Amy, none of us felt that they were evil also so maybe they're not", said Ray. "Maybe they're not", sighed Amy.
"Hey, Amara, Michelle, and Sara can I talk to you guys for a minute?" asked Serena. "Sure," said Amara, Sara, and then Michelle. "So what did you want to talk about?" asked Amara. "Well, just asking, why did you guys choose this school?" asked Serena. Then Sara replied, "Well, since we got to choose any school that has lots of homework and really tough teachers, we decided to choose this school." 'Oh' was all Serena could say.
Finally, another question popped into her head. Then she asked, "Did Sheena go to the same school as you guys?" Then Michelle answered, "Yes, she is really nice and tries hard at her work unlike other students." "All she could talk about other than her work are her friends", continued Amara. "She would always talk about how smart Hiromi is or how sporty Katrina is. All her talks are about her friends," continued Sara. "She never talks about anything embarrassing or negative about her friends. She respects them for who they are on the inside not on the outside. Like she always says, 'what counts, in the end, is the inside not the outside.'" said Michelle.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The left side of the Playground *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
On the other side of the playground, the group was sitting on a table in the sun. Then their silence was broken by a question from Erica. She asked, "Is it me or did I feel like I was related to Ray, who I'll never be related to." "Hey, that's exactly how we felt too", said the rest of the group in unison. "That was so creepy. Me being related to them! No way!" said a freaked out Jasmine. "Calm down. You know we're not related to them nor will we ever. Duh!" said an annoyed Latterly. "Don't worry you guys, maybe it's just our conscience", said an intelligent Hiromi. 'Yeah, you're right' was the only answer that came out from the rest of the group.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Track Practice *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Serena went to track practice and she actually wasn't late like usual. She passed by the 'track stars' group and overheard them talking about Sheena. Then she looked at them quickly and thought 'Hmm…I wonder where Sheena is. Anyways, why would anyone talk about their friend especially if she's been talking about positive things about you?' Then she listened in their conversation and heard them say, "Since Sheena didn't transfer in time and make the track team, she should try and be the assistant coach. Besides she's qualified and she's coached many sports that are way tougher than that." This made Serena wonder, 'Her as assistant coach!? She'll probably pick on me because she's part of that group. Maybe if I try to befriend that group, they'll be nice to me and respect me for who I am. It's worth a try, I think.'
Then she walked up to them and said, "Hi! What's up?" Then they answered in unison, "Hey! Nothing much." Then it was complete silence until Latterly broke the silence and said, "I can't believe the coach isn't going to kick you out of the team. You've been late like every day on our practices. You probably just got lucky in making it on the team." Then Serena ignored what Latterly said and thought, 'She sure does remind me of someone. Hmm…I know…she sounds just like Ray.' Then her thoughts were interrupted by Heather saying, "Hey Latterly don't be so mean. We don't want her to get a bad thought about us." She thought again, 'Hey that's what Mina would say.' Her other thought was cut off by Katrina saying, "Heather, quit getting into other people's business." 'That's what Lita would say.' thought Serena. Then Erica said, "Why don't we all just calm down." 'She sounds like Michelle,' Serena thought again. "Whatever," said Jasmine sounding just like Amara. "Since we're on the same team, it's better if we all not fight," yelled Hiromi. "She sounds like Amy except Amy wouldn't yell would she?" pondered Serena. "You guys, remember time is money," said Jessilyn sounding a lot like Sara.
We were all interrupted by Darien saying, "Ok, time to stretch. Sorry I was late. I had to interview Sheena for the job as assistant coach. Guess what!? She's your new assistant coach." The 'track stars' group all cheered and screamed in unison, while I just said 'Yeah' very unenthusiastically. Then she came out from the locker room and said, "As your new assistant coach, I will be as fair as possible to everyone."
Serena ran laps, competed against others, and got timed on how fast she ran. Sheena, on the other hand, had to read very thick books about coaching, how to do drills, and the stretching essentials. She also needed to know how to help with the injuries when someone was injured and many other medical procedures. Serena thought in her mind, 'Sheena must be very smart in learning all those procedures and reading those books. Maybe, I'll get a chance to talk to her and ask her about herself.' Practice time went by totally fast. They started out with stretching, warm ups, started getting into drills, running practice laps, timed laps, and ran to see who was the fastest.
After class, the 'track stars' group asked if Sheena wanted to walk home with them, but she said no because she wasn't done packing up. Ten minutes later, Serena came out of the locker room and saw Sheena. She walked toward Sheena and asked if she wanted to walk home with her. Then Sheena said, "Sure, I'll walk home with you."
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* While Walking Home *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
The walk home was really quiet, either because Serena didn't know what to ask or Sheena didn't want to make a bad first impression. Then their silence was broken by a question by Serena. She asked, "Just asking, why did you move to this school?" Then Sheena answered, "Well, after I found out that I could move to any school, I looked at the list and remembered that my friends were talking about that school too. When I went home, I looked at the letters that they sent me and saw the name of this school, which they were going to."
"Well, can you tell me anything else about yourself", asked Serena. "Ok. I have two sisters that don't come to this school. Their names are Rita and Teresa. Although I've coached many sports, I like basketball the best. I went for the interview because my friends told me that it would be a great experience. Oh yeah, my favorite color is blue", answered Sheena, "Now tell me about yourself too." "Sure. I have a brother and his name is Sammy. My friends are Lita, Amy, Mina, Ray, Sara, Michelle, and Amara. I tried out for the track team because I wanted to prove that I'm a good leader, that I'm responsible, and that I am not a klutz", said Serena.
"I can see that you're not a klutz because you try very hard on the track. Maybe if you applied yourself a little more into what you're trying to prove, then maybe you can prove all those things and even more without having to try out for the track team. In my opinion, you don't seem like a klutz at all. As for your responsibility, you'll need improvement because, from what I heard, you have been late for practices the last two months", said a confident Sheena. "Ok, I'll try to apply myself a little more, but if this doesn't work then I'm going back to normal. How will you improve me on my responsibility skills? Wait, why are you trying to help me? The group you're hanging out with are so mean. They spread gossips about my friends and me so, since you're part of that group, why are you trying to help me?" said Serena.
"Well, I'm trying to help you so you can reach your goals. Another reason is because I'm supposed to help you since I'm the coach. I know the group I hang out with may be mean, but if you know them on the inside they won't seem so mean. Like, for example, me. You didn't know me that much, and you still wanted to know about me", said Sheena. "How will I ever get to know that group if they keep trying to avoid me? They may be kind, but, for all I know, I cannot say that until I get to know them more", said Serena. "Why don't you hang out with me that way you'll be able to hang out with them, ok", said Sheena. "Ok", said Serena.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* At Home *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
When Serena arrived home, she went directly to her room. Then she thought in her mind, 'I wonder what else I'll learn about those people. I wonder if they're exactly what Sheena said. I've got to tell all of these to Mina and the group. Maybe we all can become friends hopefully by the end of the school year. Well, now it's dinnertime! I'll tell them later.'
After dinner, Serena went to her room, took a shower, changed her clothes, brushed her teeth, and finally started her homework. She finished her homework three hours later. Them she got on her communicator and told Mina of what happened today. She told her everything and told her to tell the others too because she was really tired. So Mina spread the news.
So how was this chapter? Well, I'll write more if you review more.
