"Valentine's Day?" Sierra said a sour face, not liking how the words sounded.

Usagi nodded. "It's a holiday where—."

"I know what Valentine's Day is Usagi," Sierra interrupted. "I was wondering why you were concerned about it. It's three months away."

"It's never too early to prepare!" Usagi chirped.

"She's never felt that way about her homework," Naru mumbled.

Naru and Sierra laughed at Usagi's expense. The three girls were in the classroom, given a free period after everyone finished their test, talking about nothing in particular. The conversation had somehow changed from their least favorite vegetable to Valentine's Day in a matter of thirty seconds. Usagi crossed her arms. "I'll ignore that. Anyways, Sierra, Valentine's Day is the only day I look forward to coming to school. The halls covered in pink, couples together, me giving chocolate to the guy I like."

"School? In Peru, we were out of school for Valentine's Day. Anyways, I despise the day. It might be a day a romance for you, but for me, it's just Single's Awareness Day."

Naru and Usagi exchanged glances. "Is that code for 'find me a boyfriend,' Sierra-chan?" Naru asked with a teasing smile.

Sierra blushed. "N-no," she stuttered. "I'm just saying it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I did."

"Oh!" Usagi raised her hand. "What about Mamoru-baka?"

Sierra grimaced. "Absolutely, positively, not-in-a-million-years, no!" she exclaimed. "He's you're type, not mine."

"What is your type?" Usagi asked. She didn't deny that Mamoru was here type, Sierra mentally noted.

Usagi's cousin sighed. "My type," Sierra started. As she thought, two students that no one recognized walked into room. Naru and Usagi noticed them immediately but do to the angle she sat, Sierra was oblivious to their appearance. They went to speak to Haruna-sensei.

"Ah, I got it!" Sierra exclaimed. "I like someone kind, smart, talented, artistic."

"What do you want him to look like?" Naru asked, still looking at the new students.

"Handsome, of course," Sierra replied. "I like tall guys, with blue eyes."

"And red hair?" Usagi asked.

"That's right!" Sierra exclaimed. "How did you know?"

"Turn around," the blonde said with a smirk.

Sierra frowned but did what her cousin asked. Her cheek immediately flushed. Right in front of her was her dream guy! Her blush deepened when she realized that he more than likely heard every word she said. She turned back to her friends. "How come you two didn't tell me that he was behind me?!" she demanded.

"Does it matter?" Usagi asked. "Either way, he was eventually find out about your major crush on him."

Usagi looked to the pair to notice that the girl of the two was looking in their direction with an almost angry expression of her face. It seemed like she was…jealous. Usagi frowned. That couldn't be right. They were siblings, weren't they? They certain looked alike. Usagi would confidently say that they were identical twins. "H-hi," the blonde waved to the girl. "You're new, right? I'm Tsukino Usagi!"

The girl looked around her to make sure that Usagi was talking to her. Her angry features softened and she walked over to the girls. "Hi," she smiled. "I'm An."

"I'm Osaka Naru."

"And I'm Osaka Sierra."

Her eyebrows rose. "You two are sisters?"

Sierra shook her head. "No, I'm Usagi's cousin, actually. Osaka just happens to be a common last name. Where are you from, An?"

An was silent for a moment. She couldn't say she was a fugitive from another planet, could she? "America," she finally said. "I'm from America."

"So you know English, right?" Usagi asked excitedly. "Could you say something?"

"Uh, sure," An mumbled. "Fera fera fera fera."

Sierra gave An a confused look. "I speak English, too," she said. "And I've never heard those words before."

An laughed nervously. "Did I say English? I meant Spanish. They're not my first language so I get them confused sometimes."

"Sierra and I speak Spanish, too," Usagi said. "She lived in Peru and I've been learning from my aunt. That's not Spanish, either."

"Did I say Spanish? It's French. My mother knows French so I speak French." She waited for objections and when none came, she sighed with relief. She repeated, "It's French."

"You don't say," Sierra let her skepticism slip in her voice. "Either way, it's nice to meet you, An."

"Likewise," the red head smiled. So, what are you guys doing?"

"We just finished a test," Naru explained. "Haruna-sensei always waits until the next class to teach us something new so we have a free day for the rest of the period."

"So we're just talking for right now," Usagi finished. "We were just talking about Valentine's Day."

"Val..entine's Day? What's that?"

"You didn't celebrate it in America?" Usagi asked.

"N-no," An said. "It wasn't a big deal at my old school so I don't know the details." Usagi opened her mouth to explain but the school bell cut her off. An looked around with a panicked look. "W-what's that?"

"Relax," Naru chuckled. "It's just the lunch bell. We can continue talking in the cafeteria."

"Actually," Sierra stood. "I'm going to have to rain-check. I'm meeting some people off campus."

Usagi pouted. "That's the third time this week!" she complained. "I'm starting to think you're not telling us something."

Sierra scoffed. "Now you need to relax, Usagi. I'm allowed to have other friends, aren't I?" She turned to An and pointed to Usagi. "This girl is always paranoid I'm living a double life. Do you think you can manage her while I'm gone?"

An smiled and nodded. "I'll try my best."

Usagi looked around the classroom. "Hey, where's your brother, An? I thought he'd want to eat with us but he's gone. Does he already know where the cafeteria is?"

"No," An said. "He probably got someone to show him the music room. He loves music."

"Cool," Naru said. "Maybe he'll play something for us sometime."

Sierra gathered her books. "Well, I have to get going. I'll see you all after lunch." Sierra walked out of the classroom.

As she walked, she silently looked over her books to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. As she looked up, she bumped into someone. She fell to the ground. Her books scattered across the floor.

"I'm so sorry!" the person she bumped into began to apologize. Sierra could tell it was a male by the sound of his voice.

"Why are you apologizing?" she asked as she picked up her books before anyone had the chance to step on them. "I'm the one that bumped into you."

"That's not entirely true," the person admitted. He kneeled and helped her collect her belongings. "I wasn't watching where I going either."

There was only one book left on the floor. They both reached for it but the boy picked it up before she had a chance. They rose to their feet and Sierra finally got to see the person she ran into. Her cheeks immediately went red. What were the chances she'd run into the person that matched her dream boy description perfectly?

He handed her the books he collected for her. "T-thanks," she said. "Sorry for bumping into you."

He smiled. "Who am I to not accept the apologies of a beautiful girl?"

Her blush deepened. What was wrong with her? She never acted so different around a boy. She didn't know this guy! She certainly didn't like the insecurity he made her feel. "I have to go."

"Wait," he grabbed her arm before she could take off. "Let me play you a song."

Sierra shook her head. "That's not a good idea."

"Why not?" he asked. "I'm not too terrible at the flute." He held up his instrument.

"You play the flute?"

"That's right. Do you play an instrument?"

"I know a little piano," Sierra said. "My father taught me when I was younger but it's been so long ago… I've probably forgotten."

"How to play an instrument isn't something you forget. I'll tell you what, in exchange for ditching me when I was about to play a song, you can perform a duet with me."

Sierra looked at her arm. It was burning under his touch. "Deal. A duet. One song." She pulled her arm away, the unwelcome cool of the surrounding air rushing to it. "I'll see you later." She spun on her heel and ran away.

"Ah, there you are, Ail!" Ail heard his sister's voice behind him. He turned to face her and her new friends. "This is Usagi-chan and Naru-chan!"

Ail smiled. "It's nice to meet you both." He looked Usagi over. He felt that he'd really like her—even fall in love with her— had he not met a pretty interesting girl only moments before.

The four went to the cafeteria smiling and laughing.

Sierra slipped through the main exit of the school and let out a sigh. She was finally starting the feel normal. The feel of his touch lingered on her arm, but other than that, she was okay.

"It took you long enough," Makoto was standing a few feet away.

"I'm sorry," Sierra said, noting that that was a phrase she was beginning to use a lot lately.

"We should go. Mamoru seemed really anxious on the communicator." Sierra nodded. Makoto looked at Sierra. "Does Usagi seem to be remembering anything?" Sierra nodded again. Makoto's eyes narrowed. She was starting to suspect that Sierra wasn't really listening to her. "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Again, Sierra nodded. Makoto stomped her foot. "Sierra!"

Sierra snapped out of her thoughts. "What?"

"You weren't listening! I know you're upset that Luna didn't find a way to make a senshi but you could at least pretend to be interested."

"I'm sorry," Sierra said. That phrase again. "I-I'm just a little distracted. It won't be that way at the meeting. I promise."

The duo walked into Crown Arcade and walked to the senshi's booth before their memories were wiped. Mamoru and Luna were already there waiting. "Hey," Mamoru offered a smile but it was obvious he was anxious to talk about whatever he called the meeting for.

"What's up?" Sierra asked, always the one to get to the point.

"Luna and I discovered something strange last night," Mamoru explained. "What I'm about to say will sound completely strange but it's the truth."

It was Makoto's turn to hurry Mamoru along. "Get to the point, Cape Boy."

Mamoru sighed. Why were the two brashest girls of the senshi's group the ones that kept their memories. Why hadn't it been his sweet Usako or the brilliant, yet quiet Ami to keep their memories. "I'm getting there," he said, his annoyance seeping in his voice. "Luna and I have reason to believe that there are aliens amongst us."

"Aliens?" Sierra said. "That's what you've been dancing around? My brother was brainwashed by one and you thought we wouldn't believe you?"

Mamoru sighed. "These aliens," he continued, "I don't know if they're dangerous or not. I just want you to keep your eyes open for anything suspicious. And Sierra…" he trailed off.

Sierra nodded. "I'll make sure she stays safe."
