Recap

Serena is now 16 years old and is a 1st year in high school. She's been through so much. Serena has also survived the battle against Sailor Galaxia. It was quite a battle. I (Star/Gemelle) have never seen Serena so brave and strong.

Too bad I wasn't any good for the Sailor Scouts during that battle against Sailor Galaxia. During the battle, I was traveling aboard in Asia searching for more fragmented memories of the Moon Kingdom.

By the time I returned to Japan, the battle with Sailor Galaxia had already ended. So I got to hear all about it from the girls at the usual meeting spot - the 10th Street Cafe called Fruits Parlour Crown. The girls and I generally drink nice cups of Iced Tea.

Stories over Iced Tea

"You missed so much while you were away Star!" exclaims Raye.

"It must have been so scary! I saw the lights flashing all the way from China!" says Star.

"Is that where you were during the battle?" asks Amy.

"Yup, I've already been to India, Hong Kong, Thailand, and ...." says Star before she got cut off by Serena.

"Sounds exciting," says Serena in a daze, "I wonder if those countries will be on my geography test tomorrow?"

"Oh Serena, as if you're ever study for any tests," says Raye, sarcastically.

"I do too! Of course, if I got to travel aboard like Star, I could easily ace that geography test!" defends Serena as she sticks her tongue out at Raye.

"Why you?!" as Raye jumps out of her seat.

"Calm down, we've only just begun our story-telling," rebuts Lita, "you two can duke this out AFTER we finish our story."

Raye and Serena give Lita a nasty look.

"Traitor," whispers Raye.

"I wish I was 18 years old like Star. Then I would be out of school and traveling the world too," says Mina in a dreamy mood.

"But Mina, you were living in England before you came here," whines Serena, "I mean, I've been stuck in the Juban district all this time since I was born!"

"Hey you're NOT the only one, Ms. Whiner!" shouts Raye.

"Oh we're so going to get real far with our story-telling," says Lita sarcastically.

Everyone nods their heads and sighs as Raye and Serena continues to argue.

Then Darien walks in the door with Luna and Artemis by his side.

Darien is here

"Hi girls, sorry I'm late. I just got off work." says Darien as he takes a seat next to Serena.

Serena quickly wraps herself around his arm.

"Hey Darien, what do you want to drink?" asks Andrew.

"Oh just my usual would be nice. Thanks Andrew!"

"Coming right up!" says Andrew as he quickly rushes to get Darien's order.

"I'm surprised to see you here Darien," questions Star, "I thought you'd be in America studying to be a doctor?"

"Oh that, hehe," Darien scratches his head, "didn't the girls update you on that yet?"

"We would have if Serena didn't keep butting into our story," exlaims Raye.

"I did NOT!" shouts Serena, "It's all Raye's fault, she's always picking on me!"

"And here we go again," says Lita.

"I see what you mean," says Luna, as she watches helplessly as Raye and Serena go at it again.

"Hey Luna, you shouldn't talk, someone might spot you," reminds Star.

Luna winks at Star as a token of thanks for the reminder.

"Um, so what did you find during your travels Star?" asks Darien.

"Well first off, I discovered that my name isn't Star! My real name is Gemelle!" smiles the new Gemelle!

"WHAT?!" shouts everyone.
