"Bye Mom!" Usagi called, waving back to her mother standing at the door. As she ran down the street toward the high school, she shoved a piece of toast in her mouth. Her bag started to slip in the other hand. Turning around, she tried to grab it and not lose her balance. Just as Usagi grabbed her bag, she was on the ground, face first. Sniffing Usagi stood up and grabbed her bag. Turning, she looked at who she had ran into. It was a girl. Extending her hand, Usagi said, "I am sorry. I was not watching were I was going." Then she giggled and put her hand behind her head. The girl took Usagi's hand in her small hands. The girls white straight shoulder long hair shimmered in the sun as she stood up with little help from Usagi. Letting go of Usagi's hand, she dusted off her dark navy silk sundress. Looking at Usagi and smiles. Nodding, she picked up a small paper bag. With one last quick smile, she walked around Usagi and continued to walk down the street. Usagi pouted. "Well…she could have a least said sorry….." Just then the bell rang and Usagi flipped. "AHHHH!! I'M LATE!" she screamed, running to school.

"Class, we have a new student." said the teacher as she stood in front of the class. "Miss Ran, please introduce yourself." as the teacher said this, a curly brunette, about 5'5" girl in the school uniform walked into the classroom. "Hello. My name is Ran, Erin Ran." said the girl, after so, she went and took a seat behind Usagi. Quickly, the teacher started on her lesson.

"MAKO-CHAN!?!?!" Usagi cried, running over to her tall brunette friend. "What do you have for lunch?" she asked, trying not to drool. Amy walked up and shook her head. "Did you forget your lunch again Bunny?" "No, I dropped it when I ran into a rude girl on the way here. She didn't say sorry or anything after I did and I helped her up and everything." Usagi pouted. Makoto sighed and handed Usagi a rice ball and some cookies. "here, have this Bunny." she said with a smile. Usagi took them and smiled. "Thanks Mako-chan!! She said as she inhaled the food. Erin shook her head a little as she stood against a wall about 50 feet away. Her green eyes were intently watching the scouts. "They are the ones? Are you sure, I mean, look at them Ella." Erin whispered to the wind, seemingly to herself. "Yes, I can't see them Erin. You should know this. All I can see is the star light." the wind whispered back. "Then how do you know what they look like? Your descriptions were a little off, but close enough to know who you were speaking of." The wind giggled softly. "Do you remember when you got your ears pierced? Remember how I knew before you told me? Its because of your star light. If I concentrate on it, my mind shows me a picture of you. Some things maybe off, but I see you. Right now, I see you and a group of four girls. The four girls are the same as those at the shrine." Erin closed her eyes and nods. Crossing her arms, she answered "I see. I had forgotten. You told me that before." she sighed. "I hate school." "Well, just keep an eye on them. Heather sees some problems ahead. Also, the blonde in pigtails, there is something about her. Keep a close eye on her." sighed the wind. "All right." Erin whispered back. A slip of light blue hair and soft running feet ended the talking wind.
