Episode 1 Act 1 The Girls
Serena and the gang are now in college. They have had some down time between battles that come there way. Everyone is happy. Serena if you could believe it has really grown up and is starting to show to become more responsible, though she does have her hair brain moments once in a while. Darien sees the change in her too, and thinks about asking her to marry him.
Everything is going along fine until strange things start to happen. Of course Luna and Artemis are on top of things, but have not told the girls yet that perhaps the sailor scouts will be needed soon.
Rei was cramming in her room, sitting and reading for a test the next day. After she was done with studying, she had to go out and do chores, she was thankful that there weren't that many, but this homework was driving her insane! "Y... equals... M... X... plus... B? ...Slope inter... Oh what's the use?" she said, closing her math book with a sigh.
Cafe Lunar Star
Serena sat at a little outside cafe working on Homework. She was erasing quickly and whining "Ugh this is never going to turn out right." She made a face then kept writing.
Amy walks down the street not far from the cafe with her face in a Psychology book "Gee this psyc class is more difficult than I expected."
Lita was walking down the street, swaying her book bag in front of her when she saw Amy ahead.
"Amy!" Lita called and ran to catch up with her and fell in step with Amy.
"Where you heading? And how are you doing?" Lita asked with a big grin on her face.
Amy turns "Oh! Hey Lita just reading my Psyc book for Professor G's class...Oh and I clept out of the math class this semester."
"So Lita have you seen Serena lately? Is she doing any better with her classes?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, I saw her yesterday. She seems to be doing better, but I think you could always help her Amy." Lita laughed as she pictured Serena trying to stay awake in her classes. "I'm supposed to meet her today and help her out. And to have a snack. You know how she loves my cooking."
Amy giggles "Well who doesn't love your cooking Lita, I still can't get the recipe you gave me last year right"
Lita laughed and smiled at Amy, "There's nothing to it really Amy. If you want, I can come over and give you a hand."
Amy puts her book in her bag, and starts walking again, "Sure, I'd love to have you over and help out. I'm more of a bookworm than a cook, you know that."
Amy and Lita walk into their favorite cafe, the Cafe Lunar Star, not far from the college.
"Hey Serena, Artemis." Lita says noticing Artemis curled up on a table. She walked over and stretched Artemis behind the ears. She then walked over and rested her hand on Serena's head, and looked over her shoulder. "Still having trouble with that problem?"
Amy sits at the table, and takes out her psychology book, and laptop. She begins typing looking over data.
Luna strode in while the afternoon light caught on her shimmering black coat. Leaping up into a chair beside Amy. She sat tall and proud. Glancing at the girls with a listening glance. "Has anyone seen Serena?"
"Uh I thought she was here...she isn't?" Amy stops typing, and looks at Luna
Artemis loved being petted by the ears. He jumped down from the table.
Michelle walked into the cafe where Serena and the girls were. She spotted Artemis and picked him up. "Awww, hi Artemis, where's Serena?"
"Oh hi Michelle Serena should be over there." he said pointing over to her sitting over at a table really into her school work.
Michelle nodded and walked over to Serena still holding Artemis in her arms. "Hi Serena... what ya working on?"
Meanwhile at the tracks.
Training constantly for this upcoming race and never getting the correct amount of sleep that he needs. Darien raced around the track faster and faster; rounding every curve with as much speed as he could muster up. He halted after his ninth lap and bended over resting over his knees and catching his breath. He stood and walked over towards the bench and water. It was a nice day for training and he hadn't been able to spend much time with Serena. Training her for the next up coming battle. Whenever that would be; everything died down since the ancient times. He looked over at the gate and coughed. He stood and headed out into the male locker rooms for a shower.
He finished his shower, dried off, and left the building fully clothed. "It's been a while since I've used you." He smelled the rose and tossed it into the air allowing it to float away.
Back at the Cafe
Michelle put down Artemis and walked over to the school. She spotted Darien near by. "Hey Darien."
Serena looked up from her school work and she noticed everyone sitting around her. "Hey when did you all get her" She squealed and her turn to everyone. How hadn't she noticed everyone there.
"Well gee Serena, you would think that you would notice us, were only your best friends" Amy sticks her tongue out, then goes back to typing notes on her laptop.
"Yeah. Hey Amy, maybe she was actually focused." Lita laughed.
"Sorry Amy, just working on this homework. It's SOOO tough." Serena put her pencil down.
"Well what is it that your working on it can't be that hard. You studied hard last year, and did really well. So what subject is bothering you?" Amy talks to you as if your of equal stature in grades, this isn't anything new, but her tone sounds like she's out somewhere else other than study land.
"Economic theory." Serena shakes her head "I am never going to understand."
"Huh?...Oh that's simple Serena think of money in the way politics does." Continues to type on her laptop.
Serena looks at Amy puzzled. "Um thanks Amy. I'm taking a break!" Serena says in defeat.
"Oh. Well ok then if you say so, but if you need help you know I'm always here for you" Flips the page to her psyc. book, and continues typing.
"Yeah I know Amy." Serena looks up at the sky. "Its weird, things have been so quiet around her. Darien and I have been doing all this training to get ready for whatever comes next, and nothing has happen."
"I think that's a good thing, we can pursue our dreams. Of course I do miss some of the benefits we encountered." Amy continues to type. A few minutes later Amy finishes typing her notes in the laptop, shuts it down, puts both the book and the laptop in her bag, and waves a waitress over, "Yes I would like a green tea with honey and a strawberries and crème tart please." After ordering she waits patiently, and thinks of a boy she bumped into earlier.
Serena looked around. "I wonder where Darien is, he was suppose to meet for lunch." Serena sighs.
"Oh Serena, I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't seen him recently so I'm not sure what happened, but I'm sure he has a good reason." Amy replies as the waitress comes back with the order she made and sets it on the table.
"Yeah Serena," Lita said agreeing with Amy, "Don't worry, maybe he's thinking of a way to pop the question." Lita winked and rummaged around in her book bag. "Here's some of my cooking to cheer you up. I did promise to bring you some." Lita smiled and ate one of the rice cakes she made.
"Aww thanks Lita." Serena starts to dig in. "Darien hasn't even hint about popping the question!" Serena looks at Lita "Why did he say something to you?"
"Your welcome Serena, and no Darien didn't say anything to me. You know how guys get. I believe he's just waiting for the perfect time to ask you." Lita took another bite out of her rice ball.
Serena shrugged "Sometimes I think he is so far from that step you know."
"He's closer to the question than you think. It's in his eyes when he looks at you Serena" Amy says while eating the tart, then she sips some tea.
"Really you think so Amy." Serena said with a questioning look.
Amy sips more of the tea, "Uh huh...he looks at you the same way my uncle looks at my aunt at times, like his breath is just taken away. If that doesn't say he's at least thinking about it, I'd call him weird." Amy giggles, then sighs.
Serena giggled loudly. She had the happiest grin on her face.
"You know Serena you could always call Darien on his cell phone, can't you?" Amy mentions.
Krahazik watches the cafe from the shadows. He had been in town only a few hours exploring. His minded raced with mischief and ideas. "This place has lots of potential to it for some fun. I just mite stay on this planet a bit."
Serena sighs "Come on lets do something fun! I'm sick of school work."
"What do you want to do Serena?" Amy asks.
Krahazik sneaks in closer, shifting to a shadow closer to the girls. Ears perked forward as he listens intently to the conversation, overcome by feline curiosity.
"Aww. Serena, don't be to upset. We can always give him a hard time about it later. I know we can go to the arcade it's been awhile since we've done that" Amy says giggling slightly.
Serena shrugged "Yeah I guess."
"Ok. You want to go Lita? We may find everyone else there, I know Amara visits the arcade now and then." Amy shrugs and starts walking.
"Yes Lita come with us." Serena pleads.
"Sure why not. Maybe I'll see Andrew there!" Lita fades back into dreamland.
"Uh Lita, don't get too far into dreamland on us." Amy laughs in a teasing manner.
Lita sticks out her tongue in a joking manner at Amy, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"Sure." Amy smiles at her friends.
Serena smiles "Yeah"
Amy grabs Lita's and Serena's arms in hers and starts walking. "Now this brings back memories."
Serena giggles "I know, why haven't we done this more often!"
