   SK and I have pondered this issue many times with regard to Ami.   
   Clearly, she settled.  I mean, even not studying an ounce she'd be able   
   to get into a much better school than Minako or Makoto, let alone Usagi.   
     Minako and Makoto might have been able to get into at least slightly   
   better schools as well.  Minako seems to like studying a little less   
   than Makoto, but she also has a strong command of the English language   
   which I assume would aid her on her exams (and even more so for   
   university, I'd guess).  Of course, that makes it interesting that Rei   
   didn't decide to go ahead and leave her Catholic 'escalator' school in   
   order to join the team.  Then again, in Stars she's over there enough   
   that it doesn't matter.  Does that girl ever go to class? ^_-   
      
   I also missed Motoki in Stars. *sniffle* Especially since shortly after   
   Stars I saw PGSM, and PGSM-Motoki is just an abomination.  I mean, he'd   
   be fairly easy to train, I guess, but...*sigh*  When she wants him, she   
   can't have 'im, but when he's no longer cool Motoki-oniisan, he grabs   
   onto her. My poor poor favorite character. *being vague to avoid having   
   to deal with spoiler space*
