"You are doing WHAAAAT?" Raye Hino yelled right in Serena's face. The blonde in question had kinda known her friend wasn't going to take it that well, she knew everyone was going to be pretty surprised but she had had an idea that Raye would use higher decibels.

"Erm…I'm going to a…magical boarding school…on…another…planet?" She squeaked in the same way she had when announcing her news for the first time.

"You cannot be serious!" Mina shrieked, running up to clasp Serena's hands. "Why would you leave us like this?" She whispered.

Serena smiled sadly. "Well four days ago I got this letter from this school called Alfea and I discussed it with Luna. At first I couldn't bear leaving any of you but then I thought with Ami going to Germany for a year, Mina filming in LA, Lita training to be a chef and Darien in Harvard then staying here would probably be worse…"

Her sentence trailed off as tears began to fall from her crystal blue eyes.

"Serena!" The four girls quickly grabbed her into a huge hug.

"Hey, it's ok, you'll be coming back for holidays right?" Lita desperately tried to reassure her. "And I'm sure this will be an excellent opportunity for your studies!" Ami added.

"You're right, you're right," Serena sighed. "I know I'm making a big this out of this, I mean we've been to other planets before, like Kimmoku to see the starlights, and Luna's coming with me but I don't know what I'm gonna do without you guys!"

"And I don't know what I'm gonna do without you to be my groupies when I'm becoming a star!" Mina cried dramatically.

"Mina you play a waitress." Raye rolled her eyes.

"NOOOO! Why did you have to crush my dreams? You big meanie!" Serena's fellow blonde wailed, pounding the floor in front of the raven-haired girl.

Everyone continued to watch the spectacle with huge sweatdrops for a few minutes before Lita eventually turned to the Sailor Scout of the Moon. "So when do you leave for this magic school?"

"In three weeks," Serena replied.

"Then we'll just have to spend those three weeks having the best time ever!" Mina had sprung out of her dramatic depression.

"How about we start with a sleepover here at the shrine tonight?" Raye suggested. "We can go to the store to get the stuff we need now!"

"YEEEAAHH!" The five girls exclaimed in unison.
