Here is the third chapter, I tried to make it a bit long  to make up for the last short chapter.

Disclaimer: I own no part of Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon is copyright Naoko Takeuchi and other companies involved. I used the story and the characters from the north american version, but the future silver senshi are my own creation.

   Chapter 3  
~* New Students *~

  Amara stood up from the ground, and wiped her hands with a rag. Her motorcycle stood out proudly, as she just juiced it up a bit. She glanced around the race track, and noticed three girls standing together, admiring a new racer on the track. Amara frowned and walked out onto the track, her curiousity needing to be quenced. The racer was good, she noted. The motorcycle was a new model, not to mention very expensive. "I'm impressed," she muttered as the newcomer completed the third circuit and came to an abrupt halt, about ten feet from where Amara stood.
   "Hi Amara," came the familiar greeting. Her cousin, Michelle, walked toward Amara with a smile on her face. "What are you doing Amara?"
   "There's a new competitor on the field, and I thought I might watch for a bit." She turned her attention back to the newcomer, who had been joined by a young girl with blue-green hair similar to Michelle's, but several inches longer. They were talking to each other, but Amara couldn't hear what was being said. One of the three girls, named Conney, a total gossip, approached Amara and Michelle with an amused expression. "Looks like you have some competition Amara. Might even be better then you."
   Amara gritted her teeth. "Who is he?" asked Michelle, her attentioin caught at the mere thought of someone being better then Amara. Conney laughed, annoying Amara to no end. "It's not a he, silly, it's a she. Her name is Andrea Talbot, and she is from America. That girl next to her is her cousin...well one of them, named Melody Kent. They just enrolled at our school, isn't that great?"
   "I am thrilled," mutter Amara sarcastically. Conney comtinuted on, oblivious to the two girls growing agagition. "Oh, Michelle, you might be seeing a lot of Melody. She is trying out for the city's orchestra, as well as trying to get her work exhibited in the local gallery. You two have a lot in common."
   "Do we?" asked Michelle, her eyes still on the two girls. They all watched as Andrea stepped of her motorcycle and removed her helmet. Long, wavy, sandy-blonde hair flew down her back. Her hair stopped a little below her shoulders, and her eyes were a dark royal blue. Even from the distance Amara and Michelle were, they could take in all the details. She wore tight blue jeans and a tight blue tube top. Her cousin Melody wore the same outfit, in a light green color. Both turned thier attention to thier audience. Both smiled as Andrea wheeled her motorcycle from the track. When Andrea passed Amara, she got a weird feeling, and thier gazes locked for a moment. Then Melody began to tell Andrea something and her eyes looked away. The disappeared into the large motorcycle garage, with Amara and Michelle watching them.
   "I have a feeling, we will be seeing them again," Michelle announced. "Me too," Amara said quietly.

   "Come on Serena, we are going to be late to Raye's house!" Mina cried, as she, Lita and Serena raced down the sidewalk. Serena panted loudly, "I'm trying. Sheesh, don't have a heart attack!" That's what I am going to have if we don't slow down, Serena thought. "I can't believe we took so long at the arcade. I don't remember every being late to a Sailor meeting before," Lita stated between breathes.
   The three girls gave a collective sigh of relief as the Cherry Hill Temple came into view. Serena turned the corner to ascend the steps still running, and literally crashed into someone who was leaving. "Oopfh," the person said, the breathe whooshing out of it's lungs. Serena looked up and immeadiately said sorry. A young girl thier age looked back at her, a weak smile on her face. The girl's friends rushed forward and helped Serena and the girl up. "Are you okay Ruby?" one of the girls, with short dark brown hair. "Yeah, I am fine," Ruby muttered, rubbing her head. Lita and Mina smiled politely at the new girls.
   The girl with the dark brown hair introduced herself. "Hi, I am Larissa Kitchner, and these are my cousins. Ruby Hill, you've already meet and," she pointed to each girl in turn. She pointed to a girl with shoulder length blue-black hair, "This is Amanda Murphy, and Melissa Albright. We just moved here." Melissa smiled kindly at the three girls, and pushed her blonde hair over her shoulder. Ruby glanced over to Serena. "Are you always this big of a klutz?" she asked. "Ow," she cried, when Melissa pinched her painfully.
   Amanda looked at Mina and said, "I believe we are going to attend the same high school together. We just enrolled today."
   Serena frowned, "Fabulous." Now they are going to tell everyone how I nearly killed thier cousin.
   Ruby and her cousins started back down the stairs. "We really have to go now, it was nice meeting you!" They all watched until the new girls turned around the corner, then continued up the temple steps. "Well, they seemed nice," Lita commented.
   "Yeah, until Serena nearly killed one of them," came the familiar voice of Raye, who smiled smugly at them. Serena glared at Raye. "It was an accident. She said she was okay," Serena said. Raye laughed. "Well, not surprising, since you are a meatball head. Nothing in there to really hurt anyone." Serena and Raye engaged in a gaze lock, sparks shooting at each other from thier eyes. Amy, Artemis and Luna sat on the steps leading into the temple. Luna rolled her eyes. "Alright, that's enough you two. We are here on serious business."
   "Yes, we must find out who that woman was working for. Not to mention, weither or not those silver sailors are who they say they are," Amy commented, sensibly. Raye and Serena had the grace to look guilty.
   "We know that thier leader is some women named Beatrix, and both her and the silver senshi are from the future. What we must know, is if the silver senshi are on our side." Artemis nodded in agreement.
   "Weither they are on our side or not, we must be on our guard." All eyes glanced over to Amara, who had just spoken. "Thier reasons can change without warning, and we must be ready for that." Eeveryone agreed.

   Serena entered her high school gates silently, her mind on the events of the past two days. "Hello," a soft voice said. Serena looked up into the solemn purple eyes of a young girl, a few years younger then her. "Hello," Serena said back, her face breaking into a smile. "I am looking for someone who can tell me where the main office is. I am new here, and I need my schedule," the girl said, her small voice barely above a whisper. Serena stared at the child, her expression blank. "Are you sure you are at the right school? This is the high school." The girl laughed, her sad eyes filling for a second with kind amusement.
   "I am where I am suppose to be. I am a skipper,"the girl said. She noticed Serena's confused expression. "I mean, I was skipped up a couple of grades. I am not from this town. My name is Helen Taft. And you are?"
   "I'm Serena Tsukino. Glad to meet you." Serena escorted Helen to the main office and parted with a waved goodbye. Interesting kid, she thought. As the class bell rang, she raced to her classroom, barely missing the late bell. She noted happily, that Larissa and Amanda were there, but not Ruby.
   Serena frowned. Ms. Haruna should have been here already. The class quieted down when the door to the classroom opened, and an unfamiliar face entered the room. A young woman stood in the doorway, her figure covered by a tight black dress. Her long curly hair floated around her face, as her soft grey eyes looked the room over. Her eyes stopped on Amanda and Larissa briefly, then rested on Serena.
   Serena felt a sense of deja `vu, but dismissed it just as quickly. The woman walked to the desk and set her briefcase on it. She turned and addressed the room. "Hello class, I am Ms. Saskia. I will be filling in for Ms. Haruna for a few days, while she is gone." Many hands went up and she motioned for Melvin to speak. "Where is Ms. Haruna?"
   "That is not your consern. Now, turn to chapter nine, we will be reviewing quadratic funtions." The class obeyed, while Serena sat silently and wondered about this new development. "Excuse me from bothereing you and yourdaydream, but why aren't you doing as I asked?" a soft, patient voice asked. Serena almost jumped out of her chair. Royal blue eyes met grey, as Serena complied with her demand. "Now, if you look at..."

   Serena walked out of school hurriedly, not wanting to be late AGAIN to a sailor meeting. She paused in the school courtyard, as Helen, Larissa, Amanda and Ruby came into view. "What are we waiting for?" Ruby demanded.
   "Come on Ruby, you know we have to wait for Gabriella. Don't start complaining. She's our ride." Amanda replied impatiently. Ruby bite her lip angrily, but said nothing. Thier eyes lite up as Ms. Saskia walked out of the building. Serena watched curiously as they approached her. "Hey Gabriella, how was your first day as a teacher?" Helen asked. Gabriella Saskia shrugged. "As well as can be expected. Let's go."
   "Cousin, we have to get Tara and Melissa," Helen stated hesitantly. Gabriella paused. "Where is Tara by the way. I did not see her here," Gabriella asked curiously. The four younger girls looked toward Ruby, who sighed. "Fine, I'll tell her," she muttered. She looked Gabriella in the eyes. "She skipped school today to follow Andrea, who left early this morning. Andrea skipped school as well."
Gabriella's noramlly soft eyes hardened. "Well, let's go get them. All of them."
