Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: *** The day was bright and sunny. It was almost perfect. Warm with a light breeze. *** .-. (indicates point of view change) *** Makoto had less problems. Since the first class was PE, introductions were cut short to names only.

Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon: Gemstone: Learning Time. The Senshi Attend School!
Ami stood behind Shinri, looking a bit confused. "Of course, what else would it look like?" she asked innocently, tilting her head a bit in confusion.
"Well, a little more colorful! Like our senshi uniforms!" Shinri added with a thoughtful look. Ami just shook her head. She and the others had gradually become better friends with the group of new senshi. It had been fun getting to know them, and thus far Ami had to say she really enjoyed Suki's company the most. She was sweet and kind, like Usagi, yet she was more mature in a way. What Ami liked best, was the fact that Suki was interested in EVERYTHING. From physics to swimming, Suki wanted to learn it all.
Ami was happy to oblige.
"Can I take it off when I get there?" Shinri moped, slumping over a bit. Ami looked surprised. "No, it's important to look your best Shinri. Dressing conservitavly gives people a good impression," Ami corrected.
"Impression?! You mean the impression that I'm colorblind, funless grandma?" Shinri snapped.
Ami looked a bit taken back. She had never been too good with makeovers and fashions. That was Usagi and Minako's department.
Luckily, at that moment, the door to the room opened and in strolled the perky blonde with Tsurara and Suki at her side.
Shinri's eyes about fell out of her skull. "THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!"
Minako and Ami jumped. Suki just looked confused. Suki herself was dressed in the exact outfit Shinri was forced into. However, it didn't take long before Shinri dove at Tsurara and clutched the front of her outfit. "She gets blue!!"
"She's going to a different school," Ami chimed in.
Shinri pouted. "Not that blue would look good on me, I mean blue and red do NOT go together, but it's CUTE!" she wailed. Tsurara smiled brightly, obviously taking a liking to the fact that she looked nice. Tsurara patted Shinri's head. "There there. You look good too Shinri!" she added, trying to lighten the mood.
Shinri shot her a suspicious out of the corner of her eyes. "You are an AWFUL liar Tsurara..."
Tsurara just gave her a big grin.
Minako winked and put a hand on Shinri's shoulder. "It won't matter! I garauntee you'll still get all the cuties attention!"
Shinri seemed to consider this, then her eyes lit up. "You think so?"
"Of course!!" Minako added cheerfully. She paused and pulled Shinri off to the side. Her eyes narrowed and sly grin spread across her face (like this ¬_¬). "If you meet any, tell at least ONE about me! I heard this school is a GOLD MINE for hotties!" Then, Shinri's eyes lit up like bright red stars. "Ah...i hope it's true..."
"What are you two getting on about?" Ami asked.
Minako and Shinri turned around at the speed of light. "Oh nothing! Just reminding Shinri not to forget her, ah, Physical book!" Minako chirped, a sweatdrop forming at the side of her head.
"It's physics Minako-chan," Ami corrected, then suddenly took on a professional look. "And I hope you're not going to distract Shinri. It's important that they pay attention and focus on their studies. You know..." Ami continued.
Both Shinri and Minako developed sweatdrops.
Minako waved to the group, formed of Ami, Makoto, Suki, Kiseijun, Hana, Seika, Mitsukai, Kaijin and Doujino. All of whom would be attending school for the first time, except Ami and Makoto who were doing community service as Teacher's Assistants.
Chiyuno and Yuushino were too old to attend school and so they had accompanied Mamoru.
Megami had her job and had refused quite verbally to join them. This had in turn, led to an arguement between her and Makoto (both of whom had not taken a liking to each other AT ALL). Tsurara was now tagging along with Minako, waving to the group as well.
"Sayonara Minako-chan!" Ami called as she and Makoto waved. Shinri's eyes grew wide with shock as she watched Minako depart in a seperate direction. Minako shot her a thumbs up before leaving.
"Minako's leaving?!" she cried. Ami and Makoto looked to Shinri. Ami just nodded. Makoto smiled. "Minako's going with Chibiusa and Tsurara-chan to school," she explained.
"But WHY?!" Shinri wailed. Mitsukai looked confused, then glanced to Kaijin. Kaijin looked umamused and rather bored, as if the whole display was a waste of his time.
"Well, she's the best with the younger kids. You'll see her later Shinri, don't worry!" Makoto reassured her with a smile. Shinri frowned.
"Are we leaving or not?" Kaijin asked impatiently. Makoto shot him a look. "Yes we are so just hold your horses!"
Kaijin actually looked briefly confused. Mitsukai could tell he hadn't understood. Mitsukai smiled, and put a hand to her mouth giggling. Kaijin shot her a look and Mitsukai tried her best to not continue.
"Okay, so Shinri, Suki, Doujino, Seika. You are all going to go to class with Ami-chan. Kaijin, Mitsukai, Kiseijun and Hana, you're going with me to physical education class first, then you're on your own for the rest of the day, but remember! You are foreign exhcange students. Tell NO ONE you are senshi," Makoto said solemnly. Kaijin sighed and looked as if he wanted to say something, but refrained.
"When school gets out, meet us right in front, got it?" Makoto asked, getting nods from everyone. Seika sighed and raised her hand. Makoto blinked then laughed nervously. "Seika-chan that's not necassary until you're in class!"
Seika looked momentairly confused, but continued on with what she wanted to say. "Why don't I get to be in the group I choose?!" she asked with a dis-satisfied pout. Makoto sighed. "This is just how it works Seika-chan. Stop complaining. You'll have fun."
Seika shot Makoto a disgruntled look. Mitsukai for her part, shot Seika a bit of a stern glare.
Ami let out a small yell. Makoto instinctivly glared and took a fighting stance. "Nani!?" she cried. Ami held up her wrist. "We're going to be late!!"
Class had begun. Ami had been introduced as a Teacher's Assistant and soon Shinri, Suki, Doujino, Seika's introductions would follow. The teacher was a middle aged woman with a black braid. Her eyes were a shade of striking violet.
"Class, we have four new students today. Please make sure and give each one a warm welcome," the teacher said softly.
Shinri had never been so nervous. All this felt similar, yet totally foreign. It was as if this was a familar nervous feeling, like she'd done it before. She was almost positive she hadn't. After all, she had NEVER been to Earth before. Surely she hadn't participated in school on Endai?
Doujino shoved her lightly. Shinri felt her blood boil, just a tad. What's he up to now?! Of all the times to annoy me!! she fumed. IT was NOT the time.
"What?!" she snapped. Doujino shot her a look. "Don't get angry at me! I was just trying to tell you that it looks like we're going to be introduced..." he said heatedly. Shinri said nothing in response. Suddenly Doujino added, "but I'm sure that with your loud yapping they could've heard you a mile away."
Shinri wheeled on Doujino. He had a cocky grin plastered on his fine features and his sky blue eyes positively twinkled with mischief. Shinri hated that smug look.
"You're the one shoving me!"
"Would you rather be caught off guard and risk looking stupid..." he paused. "Again?"
Shinri clenched her fists at her side. Sometimes he was almost as bad as Megami.
"Oh, nevermind. I'm sure Miss. Perfect has everything in control," he hinted at her.
Shinri wanted to slap him.
His smile faded but the amused look he got in his eyes whenever he argued with her didn't leave.
Okay. I'm GOING to slap him. I'll do just that... she thought and raised a hand back. It was caught by Ami and she was pulled into the classroom.
Shinri immediately wiped the glare from her face and stared.
Silence ensued.
Finally the teacher, who had been staring at her oddly, spoke. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
Shinri flushed red and put a hand a to her head. Duh...
"Well, er yes. My name is Shinri, I like shopping, anything fun..." she paused briefly to consider. It came to her. "And that stuff you call nail paint!" she added with a smile.
The majority of the class looked at her like she was a three eyed, pink fuzzed bear. One the other hand, some boys looked at her like she was a goddess. Guess that went good! she chirped mentally.
More silence ensued.
The teacher now looked fully exasperated. "Please take your seat Meimou-chan." Shinri looked to the woman. "Alright, but just so you know, it's Shinri-chan!" At this, the teacher stared in disbelief. Shinri happily took a seat next to a couple boys, both of whom looked like they had died and gone to heaven.
Next was Suki. Her introductio went as smooth as glass and by the end, almost everyone was smiling and looked rather happy to meet her. The teacher looked relieved.
Following her was Doujino, who said very little, but even so, still got ooging looks and few dreamy sighs from the girls of the classroom. Shinri made a face of disgust which caused her fanboys to glare at Doujino heatedly.
Last, was Seika. She walked in, head held up and her eyes closed. The mere way she walked looked as though she was gliding on air. She stepped forward quietly and opened her eyes. At this, the class got totally silent.
She smiled, very curtly, careful to not be over eagar. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Aounobara Seika.. I enjoy art class, dancing, but only the dramatic sort, and manners," she said softly. "I hope to achieve good grade status and the meet many others who share my interests," she finished perfectly with a small head nod.
The class went totally silent even as she took her seat. The teacher looked impressed with Seika, considering the group she had just recieved. Ami sighed. Introductions went smoothly enough, but at this point, she could admit that she was worried.
Kaijin, Mitsukai, Kiseijun and Hana were missing their uniforms. Makoto couldn't believe she had forgotten to get them PE UNIFORMS. For now, they were free to participate or sit out (*note at bottom).
Kiseijun looked throughly confused. "I don't get it. Why waste time hitting around a ball? What's it accomplish?"
For once, the others looked as if they were all in agreeance.
Mitsukai felt her eyes drift to the people around her. She watched as one girl jumped up enthusiastically and struck a round, white ball past the tall net. She tilted her head a little. Her mind was racing with interesting at the game, however pointless it may have been. It had been near impossible to tear her eyes away as the group of students struggled to keep the ball airborn.
Seems fun...I hope one day I get to try it... she mused to herself mentally.
It was then, for the first time in quite some time that a serene, genuine smile crossed Mitsukai's lips.

Author's note: Alright, above I mentioned that the senshi had to sit out of PE for lack of uniforms. I checked, but unfortantely wasn't too lucky to find much information on PE in Japan. I believe that borrowing PE uniforms was an options but somehow, I doubted that they would have had four to lend. So forgive me if that's not entirely accurate! I tried! ;_ ;
