Shiloe was looking through some of the books in the school library.  Once she had chosen a few books to check out, she got into the checkout line behind Michelle.
 "Hey, Michelle," Shiloe said.
 "Hello," Michelle replied.
 Shiloe peered at the books Michelle was getting.  "Tolkien, huh?"
 "Excuse me?" Michelle asked.
 "J.R.R. Tolkien," Shiloe said.  "I happened to notice you’re checking out one of his books."  Michelle nodded.  Shiloe continued, "So, have you read The Hobbit?"
 "Yes," Michelle said.  "It was a great book.  Have you?"
 "I’ve read that, and the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy," Shiloe said.  She was about to go on, but stopped herself for fear that it might seem like she was bragging.
 "Hi, guys!" Sara had just come into the library with Lilia and Daphne.
 "Sara, in the library?" Shiloe asked, feigning shock.  "Impossible.  Now we know that the world has come to an end."
 "I come to the library sometimes," Sara retorted.  "I know how to read, you know."
 "I was the more decieved," Shiloe said.
 "What’s that mean?" Sara asked.
 "It means…oh, forget it," Shiloe answered, not wanting to explain that it was a quote from Shakespeare, because then Sara would have wanted to know who Shakespeare was.  "So you guys came in here to study?"
 "Actually," Lilia said, "I’m going to tutor Sara and Daphne."
 "Yeah, I was kinda depressed after failing yet another class," Daphne said.
 "Really?" Michelle became interested after Lilia mentioned tutoring.  "I’ll help, if you want me to."
 "Sure," Lilia agreed.  Once Michelle’s and Shiloe’s books were checked out, they went to sit down at a table to tutor Sara and Daphne.  After a while, Dani came in.
 "Dani!" Sara waved her hand frantically in the air.  "Dani, come sit with us!"
 Dani, having been totally embarrassed by Sara’s squealing, went over to sit down with the others.  "Hey, guys," she said.  "I’ve got some important Sailor business to talk about."
 This caught Lilia’s attention.  "What kind of Sailor business?"
 "Well, Cypress told me that Pandora has figured out some more about the enemy," Dani said.  "Actually, enemies.  There are two."
 "Yeah, duh," Sara said.  "Three actually.  Blackhole, Xerox, and Pneumonia."
 Dani rolled her eyes.  "Xenos and Antimonia, airhead."
 "Oh," Sara replied.
 "And that’s not what I meant," Dani continued.  "I meant that there are two different groups of enemies.  There are the Celestials, which is where Blackhole is from.  Then there are the Periodics, which is where Xenos and Antimonia are from."
 "So what’re they after us for?" Daphne asked.
 "I was just about to mention that," Dani said.  "Anyway, they’re not after us.  They’re looking for something called the Dead Crystal."
 Daphne shuddered.  "I’m not sure I want to know."
 "Well, we don’t really know what it is yet," Dani admitted.  "Although we do know what  the heart crystals that they keep stealing from people are.  For us Sailors, they’re where our power comes from.  But one of the heart crystals is the Dead Crystal, at least Pandora thinks so.  So that’s what they want the heart crystals for."
 "Okay, but what are those wreath guys?" Sara asked.
 "Wreath guys?" Dani repeated.  "Huh?"
 Lilia rolled her eyes.  "She means to say wraith, I guess.  Yeah, what are they?"
 Dani shrugged.  "Don’t know.  Cypress never mentioned them.  All we know about the wraiths are that they come from the heart crystals.  Once someone has their heart crystal taken out, they’ll turn into a wraith if whoever took the heart crystal wants them to."
 "Weird," Shiloe commented.
 Suddenly, they heard a voice coming from the front of the library.  "Look lady, I want your heart crystal and I want it now!"  The girls looked and saw a small blonde woman holding a gun at the librarian.
 "I don’t know what you’re talking about…" another voice said.
 "Heart crystal?" Lilia said.  "Uh-oh."
 "Transformation time," Dani said.  They ran off into the hallway, pulled out their transformation pens, and transformed.
 "Zephyr Astral Star Power!"
 "Vega Astral Star Power!"
 "Inferno Astral Star Power!"
 "Io Astral Star Power!"
 "Andromeda Astral Star Power!"
 "Spica Astral Star Power!"
 The girls, once they had transformed, ran back into the library.  "Hey!" Sailor Inferno yelled at the blonde woman.  "What’re you doing?"
 "Stealing the librarian’s heart crystal," the woman replied.  "Now, if you don’t mind, I’ll get on with it."
 "No, you won’t and yes, I do mind!" Zephyr said.  "I’m Sailor Zephyr and…and you can’t do this!"
 "Good one, Zeph," Vega muttered.  "We really need a speechwriter."
 "I can do this if I want to," the woman said, and fired the gun.  The librarian’s heart crystal appeared.  The woman looked at it, then concluded, "Not the Dead Crystal.  Oh well.  Wraith, come forth!"  The librarian grew into a giant book.  "All right wraith, now attack!"  The book wraith jumped forward at the Sailors trying to slam them in between its pages.
 "Geez!" Io jumped up and grabbed onto a ceiling fan, barely missing being squashed between the book’s pages.  But she lost her grip, and she fell right onto the book daimon.  "Um…nice daimon?  Sit?"
 The daimon wasn’t interested in sitting.  It dropped Io and went for Zephyr, who was engaged in a fist fight with the blonde woman, and began to shoot pages at her.
 "Zephyr, watch out!" Vega pushed Zephyr out of the way, only to get hit by the pages.  The pages were as sharp as knives, and one of them cut her arm.
 "Are you okay?" Zephyr and Vega both asked each other at the same time.  "Yeah, I’m fine," they both answered in response.
 The blonde lady yawned.  "This is boring," she said.  "I’m leaving.  Daimon, you finish off the sailors here."  And she left, leaving the daimon alone with the Astros.
 "Great," Inferno said.  "Just absolutely, completely, great."
 "I’ll get the daimon," Spica started for the daimon, but it shot a paper at her.  "Hey, I’m just trying to heal you!"  The daimon shot another paper at her.  Spica dodged the paper and ducked under a table.  From under the table, she pointed her sword at the daimon and said, "Purity Healing!"  The blast of light from her sword hit the daimon, and it turned back into the librarian.  "Cool," Spica commented.
 "I didn’t think that would work," Andromeda said.  "I mean, don’t attacks have some kind of range?"
 "Apparently not," Vega said.
 The librarian was beginning to wake up and noticed the girls.  "Excuse me, ladies, can I help you?" she asked, then noticing their outfits, she said, "Aren’t those skirts a little short?  And why aren’t you wearing your uniforms?"
 "Um…bye!" Inferno said.
The Astros ran out of the building, with the librarian behind them yelling "Wait!  I have to write you a dress code warning!"
