"Raye, Raye. Snap out of it." Whispers Serena "The teacher has asked you that question four times."
[RINGGG!!!] The bell for the end of class rings.
"Please read pages 18-20 before tomorrow's class" you hear the wearisome cry of the teacher from the back of the room, over the scrapings of chairs and shutting of books as the students leave the classroom noisily.
On the way to their lockers, Raye and Serena run into a very sporty Selene who's holding a basketball under one arm. Raye grabs Selene's arm as she is jogging past, and enquires, "Hey, can we talk during lunch? I feel like I have a lot of questions to ask you…"
"Yeah, sure" Selene enthusiastically cuts Raye off midway "Meet me on the basketball courts." Before jogging off down the corridor.
Raye and Serena look after Selene and then at each other, shrug and put their books away in their lockers.
***
At the basketball courts…The gundam pilots are sitting together on benches near the basketball courts, talking about the happenings of the day.
"Dude! I can't figure out how all of these people think that they know me, but there are some HOT girls here!" Duo says excitedly.
"Shut-up you braided baka. Be serious, we left unfinished business back home…"
"Yeah and we don't even know why we're here yet." said Heero cutting off Wufei.
"Yeah…but there are really HOT girls here…" Duo says looking sheepishly cheeky.
Trowa looks up "Is that, that girl over there, shooting hoops?"
All the gundam pilots look up to see Selene sink three consecutive balls from the three-point line.
Heero shows a sudden interest in Selene "How can a girl play basketball like that?" running over to Selene "You look like you've played before."
Selene looks up at Heero "I was taught by the best. Fancy a game?" Selene taunts defiantly.
"I accept your challenge. But, I warn you. I'm pretty hard to beat!"
After a few heated minutes of one-on-one, it becomes clear that Selene is running circles around Heero. After the last goal Selene puffs "You weren't THAT hard to beat!"
Heero looks up red faced, to see that all the gundam pilots have been avidly watching their little game of one-on-one, and is even more embarrassed when he notices the sailor scouts have joined the gundam pilots at the table. Heero realises that this is the first time he has ever been beaten by a girl.
Selene playfully throws her arm around Heero, patting him on the back and messing up his hair "That was great, a nice way to warm up! When do you want to play for real?"
Heero looks over to Selene questioningly (who hadn't even broken a sweat), puzzled by her comment "Yeah? Sure. Maybe later?"
Selene calmly strolls over with her hands clenched behind her back to where the gundam pilots and sailor scouts are sitting.
"Wow, where did you learn to play like that? And why aren't you puffed?" Quatre asks astonished.
Casually Selene replies, "From the best…My Brothers!"
"You have brothers? Where are you from? Oh yeah, and WHAT are we doing here?" Quatre asks still a little confused.
"Yeah, and how are you involved with my vision of the world ending? And, how did you know I had that vision?" Raye enquires suspiciously.
Selene laughs softly "Calm down guys, I expected you to have those kind of questions. I'll try and answer them as best as I can" Selene sits cross-legged on the ground and begins bouncing the basketball from hand to hand. "I'm actually from another dimension, another earth, in a parallel dimension. From here"
While Selene is talking, Amara, Trista, Michelle and Hotaru arrive and sit with the sailor scouts, without saying anything, they also listen.
"I can see and feel all. I discovered at a very young age, shortly after my parents died, leaving me to be looked after by my two brothers who also hold magic, the power that I inherited was passed down by my ancestors, and with those powers, also my role to protect the galaxy, with all its parallel universes. Lorienta who you" motioning to the sailor scouts, "met yesterday, has destroyed many worlds and has her eyes set on this earth then mine. I've been to these dimensions after Lorienta's path of destruction has passed through before. But, I've had a vision of us defeating her in this dimension. Lorienta is one of the most powerful sorcerers in the galaxy, do not take her lightly."
To Raye "I know what you saw, because I can see everything in the galaxy."
It is know that Amara speaks, bringing attention to the arrival of the outer scouts "How do we know that what you say is true, and how can we trust you?"
Selene shrugs "I'm not saying you can trust me, just what I'm saying will soon be proven true."
Everyone has been so involved in this discussion that they didn't notice the change in the weather until Hotaru quickly points out "It's suddenly very cold."
Looking around, the sky is black and from the distance rumbles of thunder can be heard.
"Look out!" yells Selene, sensing an attack coming their way. Standing in between the group of people and the advancing change in weather.
"Galaxy Energy Power!" suddenly Selene takes on her battle form, Sailor Galaxos.
"Shield of transportation, reveal the gundam jets, and bring the white lights to me!"
Sensing the urge in Galaxos' voice and the change in the climate, the white lights appear, with the gundams behind them.
By now the sailor scouts have transformed and the starlights have arrived.
