Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon. Never have and never will.

============================================


T he dark green energy filtered into his staff, gathered across the planet.

"Where are you hiding?"

He moved his staff to the side, causing a window to earth to open.

"What makes you sleep so?"

He gazed onto the planet, as if searching, blue eyes scanning it's surface.

"I will find you Guardian, and I shall finally have your precious Gem"

He raised his staff as seeds of the green energy began to travel towards Earth, settling in areas across the planet, slowly they began to sink into the ground, growing and pulsating with dark intentions.

==========================

Pheobe pushed back her long purple curls from her face and glanced back down at her notebook. Absently she began to make a few stray lines, connecting them with circles.

"Miss Mahou."

Pheobe glanced up in surprise at her teacher, becoming uneasy at the 20 sets of eyes upon her. "Yes, Mr. Bloom?"

"Welcome back to class."

"What?"

"From the hospital?"

"Oh. Thank you Mr. Bloom."





Usagi stretched her arms, yawning as she walked out of the large building that was Juuban High School. "Freedom, it's finally over."

Minako nodded. "Now theres just 3 months left until summer."

Usagi groaned. "Don't remind me."

Ami nodded, passing the two blondes. "Luna wants us to meet her after school."

Their heads turned at the mention of the Guardian cat. "Is there an enemy."

"Don't know, she just mentioned something about strange energy being emitted."





"Are you okay Pheobe?"

Pheobe looked at her friend and nodded as they walked down the sidewalk from school. "Just a little tired Merriam."

Merriam had been her best friend for 4 years, ever since her parents had divorced and she and her mom had moved to a small appartment complex in San Francisco.

"Thats understandable, you were in the hospital for weeks."

"Everyone keeps reminding me of that."

"You don't like to be?"

Pheobe shook her head. "I just don't think it's really that important."

Merriam paused for a moment, then shrugged. "We can talk about something else..when are you going to see your dad?"

"Three months. Mom thinks I should brush up on my Japanese durring that time."
Immediatly Pheobe stopped as a familier feeling began to come over her. Her heart began to beat faster and her purple eyes widened in fear.

"Pheobe? Pheobe whats wrong?"

She was finally woken as Merriam began to shake her. Her gaze moved to her friend, startling Merriam as she looked at her friend. Pheobe's face had become sheet white, all color drained from her skin. In an instant she bolted, sprinting towards home.

"Pheobe!" Merriam called desperatly after her friend before running to catch up. In the air she caught the unmistakable smell of heavy smoke.


Pheobe had never run so fast in her life, the terror overwhelmed her, as she reached her home the air was thick with black smoke and she felt two strong hands close around her shoulders. "Let me go!"

"Miss you can't go in there!"

Pheobe shook her head, struggling against the powerful grip that held her. "Thats my mother in there!"

"We're doing everything we can. We'll help your mother, just calm down."

Pheobe stared at the fire that blazed through the windows for a few seconds and just colapsed.

"Pheobe!"

The Fireman looked up at the young girl running towards him, sky blue braid trailing behind her. "You know this girl?"

Merriam nodded. "Her name is Pheobe." Briefly she glanced at the blaze. "What happened?"

"As far as we can tell from our witnesses the fire just came out of nowhere. Our men are having trouble fighting it, it's almost like it has a mind of it's own."

"What about the people inside?"

Sadly the fireman shook his head. "We can't get near it. Whoever got out is out. But the people who didn't..." He trailed off, not wishing to continue and Merriam looked down at her friend sadly.

"Oh Pheobe..."

*************************************

Pheobe held the phone tightly to her ear as she listened to the faint ringing. Immediatly she grabbed another tissue from her third box of kleenexes and wiped the tears from her eyes.

It was Merriam who took her home. To Merriam's home, her own was burned to the ground. Nothing was left of her old residence but rubble. It had been 3 days since the fire, and only now had Pheobe been able to stop crying long enough and call her father in Tokyo.

She clutched the phone tighter as she heard the other end pick up. "Dad?"

"Pheobe? Whats wrong? You sound awful."

"It's about mom..." Slowly she began to explain the past events.

**************************************

Pheobe sat down at the airport terminal, once again going through her luggage. "It just feels like I'm missing something."

Merriam sighed, zipping the carry on shut. "Like your mother?"

Pheobe nodded quietly.

"You can always call me Pheobe."

"And write, and come visit."

Merriam nodded, handing Pheobe the carry on as they both stood. "Goodbye Pheobe."

Pheobe took the last of her luggage and hugged her friend. "I'll miss you."

Merriam nodded and waved goodbye as Pheobe handed her ticket and stepped on the plane to Tokyo.

***********************************

She looked around nervously for her father the moment she stepped off the plane. Pheobe hated Japan, ever time she got off the plane there was a queesy feeling in her stomach. It wasn't that Japan was a bad place, it was just every time she visited her father in the country the strange uneasiness would always come back, Tokyo was even worse.

"Pheobe!"

Pheobe looked up, smiling slightly as she saw her father. He embraced her in a hug and took her luggage. "Was the plane alright?"

"The food was bad."

Chichioya Mahou smiled at his daughter. "Well don't worry about it, I'll cook a nice dinner for you at home."

Pheobe nodded, suddenly feeling a wave of nausia coming over her again as she stumbled.

"Pheobe!" Chichioya dropped the suitcases and caught his daughter. "Are you alright?"

Pheobe nodded, steadying herself. "I'm just a little jet lagged."

"Will you be alright to start school tommorow?"

Pheobe nodded. "What school is it?"

"Juuban High School."

******************************

"Ami. I hear we're getting a new student today."

Ami looked at her friend before returning to her book. "We are Makoto."

Usagi turned around, eager to hear more. "Whats her name ?"

"I head she was America, and she lives with her dad a few blocks from here."

All three girls looked at their friend in amazement. "Wow Minako, you know so much."

Minako smiled. "Ah Usagi, never underestimate the information line of Minako."

"Do you know her name?"

Minako gazed at the ceiling pausing to think. "I think it's Maro..Mano..."

"Class." The instructor clapped his hands for attention. "Today we will be recieving a new student. Pheobe Mahou."

"Thats IT!!"

The entire class turned around, glancing at Minako for her outburst. Nervously Minako laughed, slipping down in her seat.

The instructor cleared his throat and continued. "Now it appears our new arrival will be a little late, so why don't we get started on our lesson while we..."

He paused as the door opened and a young girl entered. "Good Morning. Students I'd like you to welcome Pheobe Mahou."

The four girls leaned forward in their seats, straining to get a closer look at the young american. She could be no more then 17 years. her violet hair was pulled partially back and hung down in curls just past her shoulders, while a few tresses hung on each side of her forhead, framing her face and violet eyes. She was aroung 5 feet 3 inches in height and looked at the class with a nervous stare.

Makoto examined the new girl before whispering over to Ami. "She looks nervous."

Slowly Pheobe examined the room. It was overwhelming as she began to feel a wave of emotion wash over her. This was impossible, they had never come on this strong before. Desperatly she searched the room, scanning for some releif. Finally her gaze moved to a girl near the front. Her eyes were comforting and welcoming, her long golden hair styled unusually in two round odongos with pigtails that nearly reached the floor. Looking at the girl filled Pheobe with a sense of comfort, and she began to smile.

Usagi looked at the girl questioningly, then smiled back. The new girl seemed nice, and maybe she could help her with her english.
