Planet Bang. Teen Night. Everyone who was anyone at La Brea High had been anxiously anticipating it. The line to get in was much longer than usual, and somewhere in the middle of the chaos was a group of five girls, all dressed to kill, as usual. Their names were Catty Turner, Vanessa Cleveland, Jimena Castillo, Serena Killingsworth, and Tianna Moore.

"What's with this line?" asked Tianna with annoyance.

"Didn't you hear?" Catty responded with a question. "Sniper's playing here tonight."

"Sniper?! Are you SERIOUS?!" Serena cried excitedly, "Awesome! You'd think they'd have a bigger show somewhere else though."

Vanessa looked confused though. "Who's Sniper?"

Serena stared at her. "Have you been living under a rock or something for the last week? They're this really great new rock group. They just arrived in L.A. and they've already made it big. I can't believe they're playing at Planet Bang!"

"Yeah," said Tianna, "If you haven't heard them before, you're in for such a treat!"

"Jimena, you've been awfully quiet. Is something. . .oh. . ." Catty stopped when she saw Jimena's face. She was staring straight ahead, her eyes wide and dilated. It was nothing new. She always looked like that when she had a premonition.

Their matching moon amulets glowed as a warning that there were Followers nearby. They glanced around and spotted Cameo, Dolores, and Ambrose farther ahead of them in line. There was nothing unusual about Followers coming to Planet Bang. In fact, it would surprise the girls if they ever went to Planet Bang and there were none. They wondered where the other three of Ambrose's group was. They were sure that there were at least six of them.

The girls looked down at their matching moon amulets. They had received them when they were born-except for Tianna-as both protection and a symbol of their power. Serena, Vanessa, Catty, and Tianna all thought back in that moment to when they first met Maggie, their advisor and guardian. She had led each of them to her, one-by-one, by appearing to them in their dreams and calling to them. First Serena and Jimena, then Vanessa, then Catty, and finally Tianna. To each in turn, she had spoken the words that would change her life forever:

"Tu es dea, filia lunae." "You are a goddess, a daughter of the moon."

She told them the story behind their destiny. In ancient times, when Pandora's Box had been opened, the last thing to leave it was hope. Selene, the goddess of the moon, was the only being to witness the creature sent by the Atrox to devour hope. She took pity on the people of Earth, and gave her daughters, like guardian angels, to protect hope.

These five girls were those daughters, and each possessed a special gift. Vanessa could become invisible. Catty could travel back in time. Serena could read minds. Tianna could move things simply by thinking about them, and Jimena, of course, had premonitions, much like the one she was having right then.

They all stared at Jimena, waiting for her eyes to clear of her trance. When they finally did, she shook her head and looked confused. "Woah. . . Weird. . ." she said.

"Was it bad?" asked Serena concernedly.

"Not bad," Jimena shook her head, "Just weird."

Then it was their turn to go in.
