In a mansion on the east side of town a man sat in a specially designed office a 
man sat writing a formula and watching a holographic image in
front of him. He looked to be in his late 30s, had shoulder length black hair 
and green eyes. A man who apparently looked like a servant
stepped into the room.
"Sir Blade," he said, "Are you trying to figure out something?"
"As a matter of fact, yes." The man named Blade replied, "I'm working on our new 
product and seem to have found something interesting.
Come here Rad, you may want to see this."
"Yes sir." Rad looked to be about 20, with short red hair and light blue eyes he 
looked actually like he could be someone else other than a
servant. Blade turned the projector so Rad could see the picture.
"Our formula for the product is moving all too slowly. That's why I've decided 
to enlist some help." Rad could see in the projection a picture
of a girl with short blue hair, wearing a tiara and a sailor suit with a mini-
skirt.
"I'm sure you've heard of the Sailor Scouts?"
"Yes sir."
"This one is Sailor Mercury. According to my analysis she is the member of the 
group that is often involved in strategic planning and problem
solving. It is my theory that she is really this girl." The image quickly 
changed to show a young schoolgirl with the same hair color.
"Her name is Amy Anderson, she recently turned 15 and goes to Crossroads Jr. 
High. She is very often in 1st place for test scores there. It is
rumored that she reads advanced physics and calculus textbooks in her spare 
time. Someone as smart as she would definitely aid our project."
"You want me to pick her up?"
"Not yet, I need you to find out as much as possible beforehand." Blade tossed a 
small metal chip to his minion, "Put that chip in a bug and
release it near her apartment building." The address and a picture of the 
building flashed on the screen, "If this girl is as smart as she sounds
then we'll get ahead of schedule very easily."
"It will be done." Rad saluted his master and disappeared. Blade grinned,

"The powers to be have spoken... they say it will be."


After school Serena and Mina were waiting behind a small clump of trees. Lita 
had already gone to find Raye and then intercept Amy at the
library, as that was the most obvious place she would be heading.
"Are you sure I can't do this?" Serena asked.
"No," Mina started before Serena could continue, "He seems to be more 
comfortable around me and it'd be best if I asked him."
"Fine..." Serena muttered and then located their target, "There he is. Go!"
"You don't have to push!" Mina straightened her skirt and quickly walked over to 
Dav who was facing away from her and looking forward, he
wasn't moving. Mina continued towards him and when she was still a good three 
feet away he said, "Hello Mina."
Mina was somewhat surprised, "Hey!" She returned the greeting and he turned to 
face her, "How'd you know it was me?"
"I could smell your perfume and remembered it from gym."
Wow! This guy is really cool to be able to do that so fast, Mina thought, then 
spoke, "How was the rest of your day?"
"Not bad. I had Home Ec. with Lita and that was it, nothing with anyone else in 
your group."
"Actually there are five people in it."
"Five?"
"Yeah, one more in our school, the fifth goes to a different one. Lita went to 
go get 'em now. Serena wants to be the first one to help you get
to know your way around the neighborhood so she was wondering if you'd come to 
the arcade with us."
Dav thought for a minute, "Why not? Be a good chance to practice and get to know 
you girls better."
"Practice?"
"Game practice."
"Oh. You'll have to show me what you can do. Come on, Serena's waiting for us."
"All right, let's go." The two made their way back to where Serena was waiting.
"You got him!" she exclaimed and started jumping around.
"Is this normal for her?" Dav asked Mina.
"You should see her when she's on a sugar rush."
"I know people like her. This is what I do when they're overstimulated." As 
Serena made her may by the two again Dav promptly reached
out, grabbed Serena's nose, and twisted.

Serena's jumping immediately ceased as she began to wince in pain because of the 
action just done.
"Why did you do that?!" She asked, Dav was facing Mina.
"That's how you handle people like Serena," he said.
"I see, it's not a bad idea." Mina said while trying to hold her laughter.
"How can you say that?!" Serena accused, "He tweaked me!"
"Had to, meatball head. It just had to be done." Dav was grinning with a sneaky-
looking half-grin while Mina was nearly about to cross the
line between normal laughter and rolling around on the ground laughter. Serena 
began to reconsider taking this guy to the arcade but she knew
that he was just teasing (and knew that Mina had put him up to it) and said, 
"Once the hyena here stops we can get going."
It took Mina a good five minutes to finally stop laughing. When she was able to 
stand upright again the three began to make their way through
the area and towards the arcade. What they didn't know was that up in a tree two 
pairs of eyes were fixed on Dav. The owners of those eyes
looked towards each other and nodded.


"Not a bad selection here." Dav said after investigating the games at the 
arcade, "Where I came from there was one arcade where the games
only cost a nickel."
"A NICKEL!?" Serena exclaimed, her head seemed to double in size due to the 
excitement.
Dav felt very small under Serena's look, "Of course there was the $1.75 
admission fee." Serena immediately calmed down. Dav began to look
at more of the games when he finally sat down in front of Sailor V's Video 
Challenge.
"Never played this one," he muttered to himself. Serena and Mina were shocked.
"You've never heard of Sailor V?!" They asked in perfect unison.
Dav shook his head, "In America the companies think she's just something made up 
by the media on slow news days. I think that about half
the population thinks they're lying. But I've never seen any Sailor V or Sailor 
Moon merchandise until I came here." Serena and Mina had
blank expressions on their faces as well as sweat drops. Mina regained herself 
first.

"Show us your skills," she said.

"All right," Dav cracked his knuckles, deposited a coin, and started playing.
"How far do you think he'll get?" Serena whispered.
"Probably not far if he's never played this." Mina answered. How wrong they 
were. Dav's fingers quickly adapted to the machine as the
scoreboard quickly increased with each kill. He seemed to be a pro already. Mina 
and Serena were sweating again.
"The same thing happened when Amy first played," Serena whispered.
"You told me already." Mina's voice raised when she noticed what part of the 
game he was at, "Look out! This part's not easy!" Dav didn't
even twitch when she had said that, meaning to startle him, but after a few more 
seconds he took a hit and died.
"You were right." He looked and saw that he had a score of 95500 points. That 
should be good enough for 1st place, he thought, but then
the top 10 for high scores showed and he saw that someone who didn't put their 
name in had beaten his score by 10000.
"Who got first?" He asked with a slight tone of shock in his voice.
"That was our friend Amy." Serena answered.
Amy? Dav thought, I think I heard her name in math class when Mr. Jones was 
calling attendance, but I didn't see her. "Is this your
favorite game, Serena?"
"You are sooooo right!" Serena exclaimed, "But I still haven't been able to get 
into the top 10. What's yours?"
"It depends, I've played too many to have a definite favorite."
Mina chose this moment to interrupt, "What else do you do besides video games?"
"I often go to the library to read, I jog about 2-3 miles every day, and 
sometimes I relax with a game of chess."
"You definitely would like to meet Amy." Serena said, "She spends hours on end 
at the library, loves to swim, and won a chess tournament
here a few months ago."
Dav thought for a moment, I'll have to find the article. He was about to speak 
again when he felt something furry brush against his legs. With
a yelp of surprise he jumped off the chair and looked down to see a black cat 
with some sort of crescent moon on its forehead.
"Oh, it's you Luna," Serena said, "Why'd you scare a year's growth out of him?" 
Luna gave Serena a look before jumping onto her shoulder.
"Your cat?" Dav asked.
"Yeah, Luna has a knack for scaring people like that. The first person she did 
that to was-"
"Amy, right?" Dav said with another sneaky grin.
"Right!" Serena exclaimed surprisingly.
"How'd you figure that out?" Mina asked, with a sweat drop appearing.
"Let's just say I've been following in her footsteps for the past few events 
here." The three continued their conversation about how mischievous
Luna's been in her life (much to her objections) when Lita and Raye finally 
entered.


"All right Serena so what's the important rush?" Raye said with an annoyed tone. 
Serena gave her a cold stare then immediately changed her
expression to a somewhat-happy one.
"We met this guy at school and decided to show him around and get to know 
people." Serena explained. Raye nodded and gave Serena an
accusing look, she then turned to Dav. "It's nice to meet someone who can put up 
with Serena for that long, I'm Raye."
Dav took her hand and shook it, "My name's Dav, it does sound strange I know. 
Anyway Serena told me you work at a temple near here.
Raye nodded, "It's open for touring on weekday afternoons."
"Really? I'd love to see it." Dav smiled at Raye who smiled back. First I meet 
this cool guy who wants to see the temple and now I think
he likes me! Raye thought with a small tinge of excitement. She and Dav 
continued their conversation while Serena stepped next to Lita and
whispered, "I thought you were bringing Amy too."
Lita turned to her friend, "Relax already, Serena. It was hard enough trying to 
convince her to come but she said she had to return some
books. Hopefully she won't stay there for two hours while she's acting the way 
she is right now." Serena sulked, she really wanted this plan to
pull through and then she noticed Dav, Raye, and Mina staring at her.
"Well while we're waiting we might as well get play some more games," Dav said 
while flipping a coin, "After all we are in an arcade." The
four girls nodded and the five split up. Serena stayed at the Sailor V game and 
Luna finally had her chance.
"Serena," she whispered, "I'm getting some very unusual vibrations around him." 
This sudden speech caused Serena to die.
"See what you made me do, Luna?" she whined, "I was so close to getting on the 
Top 10 this time and you had to spoil it for me!"
Luna dug her claws into Serena's arm in order to shut her up, "I'm serious! I 
think I've met that boy somewhere before!"
Serena thought for a second, "You're wrong, Luna. I don't have that feeling at 
all." Luna sighed and dropped her head while Serena resumed
her game. She was doing a little better than the last game and was just about to 
get a high enough score for tenth place when...

"Hi Serena!"

She lost her concentration and promptly died again. She was only 500 points away 
from a high score. Serena's mood immediately darkened
but when she saw Amy standing next to her it lifted. Serena immediately laughed 
her anger off, "Oh, hi Amy. You really gave me a scare."
"I didn't mean to sneak up on you like that but you looked absolutely 
possessed!" Serena could hear Luna snicker from her shoulder.
"Anyway," Amy continued, "What's the big rush? Lita nearly had to drag me over 
here but I had to return a few things first. What's so
important, anyway?"
Serena's eyes lit up as opportunity literally slammed through her doorway, 
"There's someone you might want to meet," she said hurriedly,
"He's smart, good at sports, likes reading, and is good at video games like you 
are. I thought you might want to meet someone with your
tastes and level."
"Is that all?" Amy asked. Serena nodded, Amy sighed.
"I don't want to be rude Serena but I have no intention of finding a boyfriend 
right now."
"Who said I was trying to get you a boyfriend, Ames?! He doesn't seem to be 
interested in dating either. I thought you two could be friendly
rivals or just friends."
Amy sighed again, "It would be nice to have someone to discuss some advanced 
physics with. Let's go see him."
Serena bolted off of her chair and moved so quickly that Amy sometimes couldn't 
feel the ground as Serena literally dragged her across the
arcade where a boy that looked a year older than her was playing a pinball 
machine.

"Drat!" Dav mused and looked at his score, "That close to a free replay." He 
heard Serena step next to him and turned to face the pig-tailed
girl, he didn't see the second one standing behind her.
"Hey Serena. Let me guess, you're out of money and want to borrow some?" he 
asked.
"Well, not yet. But maybe later," she replied. "But the one we kept telling you 
about is finally here." Serena stepped aside to reveal a young,
blue-haired girl who obviously had to be Amy. Dav's eyes widened as he thought, 
Oh my god! She's beautiful!
"It's really nice to meet you," Amy said as she offered her hand. Dav quietly 
shook it and nervously glanced at his watch, "Wow! Later than I
thought, I'll see you tomorrow, Serena." He said hurriedly and nearly dashed 
outside the arcade.

After sprinting the entire route back to his apartment Dav slowly entered his 
room and sulked. "What's wrong with me?" he said to himself. "I
couldn't speak to her at all, something inside me was tightening up. Now she 
must think I'm an idiot. Stupid, stupid cow!" After saying this he
looked on top of his dresser to find his ocarina, where it always had been. He 
took it and started playing a long, slow, melody, but failed to
notice a small symbol begin to glow on the mouthpiece.


"What was his problem?"
Serena was still wondering exactly why he had left so suddenly. Luna chose to 
voice her theory to Amy. "There's something very unusual
about him," she said, "I can't place it exactly but I can feel some sort of 
familiarity about-"
"You're just plain wacky, Luna," Serena interrupted, "You claim to feel these 
crazy vibes and I can't feel a thing! He's a new person
transferred here and- Amy, what's wrong?" She had just noticed the worried look 
on her friend's face.
"I-I felt something from him. Like Luna, I think I've met him somewhere before." 
Serena saw an opening,
"Hey Luna, do you think someone's having certain feelings for another someone?" 
Luna only produced another sweatdrop.
"I-it's not that," Amy started, but didn't get to continue.
"Admit it, Amy! I think he likes you, but you don't want to feel that way back!"
Amy felt cornered and started blushing furiously. Luckily for her, she soon had 
a reprieve.

"Leave her alone, Serena!" Shouted Raye, who had been standing nearby, heard the 
whole thing, and walked over. "You think that just
because he felt something you have to automatically assume it's anything to do 
with love? Talk about pathetic!"

This caused the eruption...

"Listen you fireballs-for-brains! I have-" With this, Serena and Raye began one 
their usual, non-stop arguments which quickly drew a crowd
while Amy quietly backed away. Luna saw her opportunity, which prompted her to 
leap onto Amy's shoulder and whisper, "You may want to
duck out and think about that feeling some more. If it was of familiarity, I had 
the same one." The blue-haired girl nodded and quietly walked
outside while the cat watched the continuing argument in disgust, but soon 
decided what to do.


On the other side of the arcade (and out of earshot of the ensuing brawl), Lita 
and Mina were finishing a few rounds of Mina's favorite F-1
Racing game. Lita obviously wasn't in good favor with it.
"This way!" She shouted at her wheel, but the machine didn't respond fast enough 
(for her taste) and her car promptly crashed, allowing Mina
to pull ahead and win. "This one's rigged too," Lita muttered.
"Don't trouble yourself so much," Mina assured, "We're tied for 1:1, winner take 
all on this one."
"You're on!" Lita accepted.
This shouldn't be too hard, Mina thought, I've been practicing this course for 
several days now.
The race began, but was not quite what Mina expected. Her overconfidence caused 
her to not see the computer-controlled car run her off the
road to total her car and eliminate her from the race, allowing Lita the win. 
Mina fell into a shock of unbelief.
"B-b-b-b-b-but how?" she stuttered, but soon regained herself, "You're right, 
Lita."
"About what?"
"This thing is rigged."
The two friends exchanged laughter as Luna approached.
"You two may want to hold your thoughts for now," she said.
"Another fight?" Lita asked. The cat only nodded.
"Let's go get 'em," Mina muttered.

The two girls and Luna quickly made their way to the source of the noise that 
now covered the entire arcade. And by now an even bigger
crowd had gathered, one kid was even taking bets!
"All right, you two! Enough already!" Lita shouted while pushing through the 
crowd and was soon pulling Serena and Raye away from each
other.
"Rats!" One of the kids said, "I bet on Serena."
"No way," another shouted, "Raye would've won big time!"
"Nobody won!" Mina yelled and turned to the two, "One of these days you're going 
to get kicked out of here!"
"Sorry, but everyone needs to leave anyway. It's closing time." A lot of people 
jumped in surprise as they hadn't seen the attendant on duty
walk over to the group to let them know. The four girls flushed with 
embarrassment as they and everyone else made their way outside.


Out in the street, the skyline was beginning to darken. The four who were still 
at the arcade had split up and were making their ways home. By
this time Amy had already arrived at her apartment building. As she stepped 
through the doorway, she felt herself twitch slightly, as if she had
passed through something. She assumed it was due to the temperature change and 
didn't give it a second thought. Closing the door behind
her, Amy began her usual study session for the day. Little did she know that a 
man had just walked by out in the hall and removed a device
from her apartment's door frame.
