Prologue

Usagi bounced down the driveway towards Minako's waiting Convertible.
The first day of school always had that happy feeling about it. You
get to see how everyone changed over the summer and hear about the exciting
love adventures they had. Rei opened the door and Usagi hopped in
the back with Ami and Makoto.

"Hiya everyone! I can't believe we are starting a new school year!
Isn't it so exciting!" Usagi gushed.

"To bad you aren't this excited the rest of the year." Rei grumbled
as Minako pulled away from the curb.

"Plus! We are no longer at the bottom of the food chain! Good-bye
freshman year! Hello sophomores! " Usagi squealed.

"Usagi, only you and Ami were at the bottom of the food chain last
year. The rest of us are now juniors." Makoto reminded. Usagi
just shrugged and kept smiling.

"Oh come on guys! It's a new school! No more Jubaan High! That
means there are new guys!" Minako squealed as she slammed on the
brake at a stop sign. Everyone fell forward.

Rei's forehead slammed into the dashboard. "I'm driving tomorrow."
She muttered rubbing her forehead. Minako just laughed and
slammed on the gas throwing everyone back.

Usagi clung to the seat belt. "For once I agree with Rei." She
mumbled.

"Hey Minako! How'd you get your licenses when you drive like
this?" Makoto hollered.

"Are you supposed to have your licenses to drive?" Minako asked
while turning a corner too tight.

"YES!" Four cries greeted her.

"Oopsy! Oh well!" Minako shrugged.

"RANMA! What did you say about my cooking?" Akane screeched as
she ran after Ranma.

"Easy Akane! I simply said Shampoo makes good ramen." Ranma
shouted as Akane ran after him with a pail of cold water.

"Husband like wife's cooking!" Shampoo cried as she also ran after
Ranma.

"Ranma! You know that Akane cooks the best! You dishonor her!"
A voice shouted from above.

Ranma rolled his eyes. "Ryouga, you aren't lost?" Ranma pretended
to be shocked.

"Haha, very funny Ranma." Ryouga cried as he joined in the chase
waving his umbrella.

"Can't I just have a normal first day of school?" Ranma asked
himself. He thought getting away from Fukarian (SP) High would be
a good thing, no more Kuno or Kodachi and no more old lady throwing
water on the street as he ran to school. Then he found out Shampoo
enrolled so she could be closer to her 'husband', Soun Tendo then
forced Akane to enroll so she could be closer to Ranma. Then Ryoga
tells him he enrolled so he could end their fight once and for all.

Ranma sighed in relief as he saw the school coming into view.

"Ah come on Jim, why do we have to go to school? We were fine with
out school." Gene complained as he and Jim drove to school.

"Because no one wants to do business with an uneducated baka." Jim
yelled for the umpteenth time.

"Why doesn't Melfina have to come?" Gene whined.

"She's the smartest being in the universe Baka!" Jim was losing his
patients fast with the older boy.

"All right, if YOU think it'll help our business, I'll go to school."
Gene grumbled.

"Don't worry, this is a new type of school! It isn't your ordinary
Japanese high school; it's run like an American high school. That means
you don't stay with the same kids in all your classes. And the grade
levels mix too. We'll have lots of fun." Jim told Gene.

"Oh great." Gene muttered.

"Why do we have to go to school? It isn't even a mission." Duo complained
in Quatre's limo.

"Haven't you ever wanted a normal life? Normal kids our age go to
school." Quatre reminded.

"Yeah, yeah." Duo sighed sinking further into the leather seat.

"Don't worry Maxwell, there will be plenty of weak women for you to drool
over." Wufei spoke up.

"Really? No Relena either?"

"She doesn't know where we are for now." Trowa commented.

"Yes! No psycho chic! What do you have to say about that Heero?"
Duo nudged Heero.

"..."

"I knew you would be just as excited!" Duo cried. Heero rolled his eyes
and continued staring out the window.

"Hey Trunks, don't you think we look a little suspicious flying to school?"
Gohan asked his older friend.

"How else are we supposed to get there?" Trunks asked.

"Your Mom owns Capsule Corp. They invented the hover car. Think about it."

Trunks rolled his eyes. "All right, tomorrow we'll go to school in a
hover car but today we are flying."

Gohan shrugged. "I was just suggesting."

~~~

"So... tell me again why are we going to school?" Van asked.

Hitomi sighed. "Van, it would do you good if you have some Earth education.
It'll help you become a better king."

"He's already a great king." Merle purred from Van's side. Hitomi
rolled her eyes.

"I see why I should go to school, but, why do we walk? And we wear
uniforms?" Van pointed to his black pants, white shirt with a red tie
and the school's initials on the pocket of the shirt.

"We walk because I can't afford a car, plus it isn't so far. We wear
uniforms because it's required. They aren't too bad." Hitomi looked
down at her dark gray skirt, white shirt and red floppy bow.

"Why do these socks go up to my knees? They are itchy." Merle
complained.

"You didn't have to come Merle. You will look odd since you are half
cat." Hitomi reminded. Merle just stuck her tongue out at Hitomi.

"Am I really going to school?" Hotaru jumped up and down as she,
Haruka and Michiru walked to their car.

"Yes, since you appear to have stopped growing." Michiru told her.

"And the same school as Usagi-hime?" Hotaru asked.

"Uh-huh. The same school as Koneko-chan." Haruka told her as they
got into their car.

"And will I be able to see her?" Hotaru asked hopefully.

"Hai." Michiru answered.

"SUGOI! This will be SO great!" Hotaru bounced in the back seat.
Michiru just giggled.

"But, you can't call us papa and mama." Haruka reminded.

"I know, I know." Hotaru sighed. She could wait to see the other
Senshi and the princess again.
