"Zoi, did you do the homework last night?" Mamoru's voice could barely be heard above the loud hallway.

Zoi blushed and looked away, "Umm…"

Mamoru stopped dead in his tracks and a poor freshman slammed into him falling backwards, which caused a massive pileup, but only caused a glare from Mamoru. "Oh my god! You didn't do your homework did you? But you said you had a late night last night, that you were up till twelve."

"I know. Now if we can get to class so I can write some stuff down and pass it off as my homework, I'll tell you what I was doing okay?"

"Yeah, sure let's go," he peered behind him and looked at the mass confusion, "It appears people are a little angry." Zoi glanced at the mayhem behind Mamoru and shook his head knowing that Mamoru enjoyed being the cause of it.

The two started toward the classroom only to hear a girl cry out their names in pain, both whipped around and saw Ami get stepped on by a sophomore. Before either could react she managed to roll away from the massive pile up and right herself, but before she was completely free she made sure the guy who had stepped on her had fallen by tripping him herself.

"Hey!" the two boys stared at the petite girl in shock, "Are you in Calculus BC?" When both nodded she smiled at them, "Think you could show me the way, I found it this morning only I can't remember where it is, I know its in this hallway though right?"

Shaking themselves from their stupor they nodded, and the three walked on to class in silence. Zoicite trying to think of something clever to say, Mamoru just wondering about his princess, and Ami hoping she was not too far behind in what they were studying. They made it to the class room with a few minutes to spare and while Ami talked to the teacher, the boys sat in their desks and Zoicite quickly wrote down the homework.

As he finished Mamoru started to pester him with questions leaning across the open desk that was between them, "Well what were you doing last night if it wasn't your homework?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yeah, I mean what could possibly be that interesting that you would ignore your homework to do it?"

"I found out some more about our past. Apparently some scientist guy believes that there might have once long ago been life on the Moon. Only what he thinks and what really is the truth seems to be pretty damn close."

"You can't be serious. I mean why would he believe that, there has been no scientific proof about it. I'm pretty sure the Queen would have made sure it all disappeared with the destruction of the silver millennium. Unless," Mamoru paused, "unless he is one of the Negaverse and he's trying to lure us out."

"Yeah I thought about that too, only he seems legitimate. That's why I was up all night. I mean we pretty much destroyed that group with the doom tree last month and it's not as if we have sensed any new threats recently right?"

"Right, so Zoi you think the new topic for today is going to be interesting or boring like yesterday's review was."

Zoicite stared at him strangely, then when he looked over his shoulder at what Mamoru was staring at realized why the topic had switched, Ami was standing there, "I don't know." He smiled at Ami, "Where is your seat?"

She smiled at him, "Right in between you and Mamoru. The teacher said if I had any trouble catching up you two were the best people to ask so I might as well be near you."


"Nephrite," both Kita and Neph turned and looked at the Amazon who was plowing through the crowd toward them. She seemed to be muttering to herself, but what it was neither of them caught, "Umm, I don't suppose either of you know where the cooking room is?"

When both nodded she smiled at them, "Let me guess you have no idea where it is?" She nodded at Nephrite's comment which only caused him to smirk, "Figures, females are so slow, only place they know the layout of is the mall," just as he finished he noticed Kita was starting to laugh, before he could ask her why he felt a fist connect with his right cheek that caused his head to snap back.

"I don't need your comments jerk, just your directions, but you know I bet she knows where the room is, I'll just ask her," she turned to Kita with a hopeful look in her eyes.

Kita could not help but burst out laughing which only earned her a glare, but before Makoto could raise her hand again Kita spoke though she did wave her hands in front of her face as if to ward off a blow. "I'll be glad to show you, and I'm sure Neph here will be glad for the extra company, won't you Neph?"

"Shove it Kit, just shove it." The three started to walk and Makoto decided she had better apologize and then ask where their next class was.

"Look I'm sorry Nephrite; I shouldn't have let my temper get the better of me. Its one of my flaws, usually I can keep it in control, or least since I met Usagi I have been better at it."

Nephrite just nodded to her in understanding, then against his better judgment spoke, "What else should I expect from a girl, they always react with their emotions not logic."

Makoto lunged for him, but Kita quickly intervened, catching Makoto's arm in mid swing. "Ignore him, he's a just in a mood. He seems to feel that something is off balance in the world, look here we are." The three entered the cooking room of the school.

"Mrs. Tantamoto we have a new student in the class."

"Ah yes, Kino Makoto I believe," the woman who shuffled forward was plump with curly gray hair and the kind eyes of a grandmother, "Alright well I guess we could put you in with Eros, he's ah good at his job and," she paused and looked at Kita and Nephrite, "wait aren't you two actually in this class?" when they nodded she smiled. "Never mind then, work with Neph and Kit. They're the best cooks in the school, so they'll have you knowing your way around the kitchen in no time." With that the friendly teacher shuffled off to keep two other students from cutting themselves.


Minako looked around for the gym teachers for this period. When she spotted Mrs. Sasaki and walked over to her. "Mrs. Sasaki, I'm suppose to be helping out with this gym class, do you know where I'm suppose to go?"

"Ah yes dear, come with me, it's the freshman gym class, you're the only senior who will be helping though, this should be really easy, they're just playing volleyball today. Which means you will keep score and ref the game. Is that alright?"

As Minako nodded she looked up and saw that the nets were already set up and the games looked about to start. Mrs. Sasaki handed her a whistle and pointed to which game she would be in control of.

"You know the rules right?" when Minako nodded she smiled, "Good I'll be watching on and off and if you get into any trouble just yell okay?" With that the kindly woman walked over to one of the other nets.


"Hino Rei, you're a new student yes?" when she nodded the teacher continued, "Alright I suppose you know what you are?"

"Yes sir I'm an alto."

"Good we can use another alto. Jadeite get over here." At that the blond she had played with earlier in gym came bounding down from the top of the amp-theater styled room.

"Yes sir?"

"Get Ms. Hino her music, she's alto and by the way make sure you get this semesters music and not last ones," as Jadeite started to walk away he did not miss the pointed look he was being given from his teacher.

He returned and handed her the music, "There ya go. I guess I'll bring her up to the alto section?" when he received a nod from the teacher he motioned for her to follow so he show her where there was an empty seat in her section. "Here's a seat for you Ms. Hino."

"Call me Rei please."

"Alright," he saw the instructor giving him his pointed stare again and he started to slide off to his seat, "by the way you play volleyball rather well, even if you missed the spike near the end." Before Rei could react he slipped up to the Bass section with an evil glint in his eye.


"Alright now children we have a new helper today. Her name is Tsukino Usagi." The little children stared at her and she could only smile at them a little nervously and wave.

"You'll never be comfortable with them if you only stand there and act like stone you know," the comment came from behind her it was a deep male voice, she turned around to see one of the boys that had played volleyball with the other girls standing there with a little girl resting on his hip.

"I know, just no one really has explained what I am suppose to be doing." Her cerulean orbs looked into his silvery ones and looked for instruction.

"Monday is the theory day, Tuesday to Friday are the days we work with the children. Since today is Wednesday it is reading day." When she looked at him with a question in her eye about what that meant he smiled and spoke, "They'll pick out about three books for us to read aloud to them."

"Oh, that's sounds lovely," she paused and looked at the man; he seemed too familiar to her, "have you ever lived anywhere, but Tokyo?"

He smiled at her, "No miss, by the way I suppose I should tell you my name, its Malachite."

"My names Usagi," she smiled and extended her hand for him to shake, which he did. "It's nice to meet you."

"Same, oh and this little one if Kayla," he glanced down at the little girl he held, who smiled up at him.

"Well hello Kayla," she once again extended her hand, this time to the small girl, who took it and smiled back at her.
