Stellar walked in to the shop. Everything in there was sparkling in mirrors and glass. Chromed edging shined softly in the artificial light. Furnishing blinds with its grandeur and reminded Stellar of her home planet.

Stones of different colors, elegant jewelry versicoloured on velvet and satin cushions. A clerk appeared from somewhere.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

Seller just couldn’t say "no" to him. She asked him to show a beautiful set - a necklace and earrings. It was a miraculous combination of dark maroon garnet and silver. Stellar was ready to buy it when she saw another charming set - soft-shining opal fine-cut in a drop shape.

It was so hard to make a decision which one to buy! The clerk offered her to try both of them. She liked the idea and started to spin before the mirror, and of course she didn’t noticed when her 10 minutes were over.

Meanwhile, April easily found the batteries she needed. She still had some time so she entertained herself by observing the newest model of audio system, but even for such a good thing the price was too high, so she went out of the shop with the calm heart. 10 minutes were almost other, but April decided to call the boys first and only afterwards get her sister.

April foresaw that Saber Rider would comb her down for the expired batteries, and she didn't want Stellar to hear that.

April turned around a corner from the main street and started to tune-up her walkie-talkie. Bad luck - her frequency was occupied by a local radio station transmitting stock exchange news.

The rule stated: if your frequency was occupied - use somebody’s else!

April ran through the whole spectrum, recalling what frequency the guys use, and the first one she found was Saber's. It took her only a second to tune it up.

April was about to open her mouth to call him when someone's palm laid on her lips, silencing her. Strong hands wrestled her comunit out of her hands, fallind down to the ground where it shattered into million bits of pieces. Not realizing yet what was going on, April struggled to get free from the palm.

"Hey! It was my last one!"

She raised her eyes from the debris and saw Jesse Blue.

"And what happened to the rest of them?" he said instead of a greeting with a nearly friendly smile.

April stopped fighting: Alone she couldn't do anything to this new Trail Boss. Plus, her blaster was in her purse and one of the Outriders was already digging in it. So, she made a wise decision - to pretend to be a good girl until luck would turn to her side. Though she didn't hope much to trick Jesse Blue.
