Enjoy and thanks for reading my first fanfic.

-Juuban High School-

Today was a big day for me, as it was my last and final exam of junior high. I took my time with the exam and waited anxiously for the results afterwards. So after class I raced to get my mark. Skimming through the pages, I look at my paper and notice in big writing Awith a smiley face beside the mark. Standing there I was so excited and quite proud of myself. I had never gotten an A before on a test. I was so happy that I was jumping up and down with pure excitement and happiness in the hallway.

Beaming, I look to Molly next to me, "I got a A, can you believe it?"

"Wow, Serena, that's wonderful news. I only got an B though but am happy for you" She says with a huge smile, hugging her friend.

I was finally getting better in school and to top it off, I hadn't gotten a detention today. So deep in thought I hadn't realized I left school and made my way to the arcade.

Looking through the glass I see Andrew with a customer. I smile, Andrew was always so friendly, and happy. I smile and make my way to the counter by him.

"Hey Serena, what's new today?" says Andrew with his big smile and friendly attitude.

"Oh, you know, same old. I got a A for my social studies exam" I said with the biggest smile and showing Andrew the test.

"Wow, Sere, that's amazing. Baby steps and things can change. For you, it is amazing to see such great change. Consider this milkshake on the house for the mark. At this rate, the next stop would be college for you." Andrew says while leaning on the counter and winking.

I just roll my eyes at him and laugh. "Oh, no college won't be on my mind, for now I look forward to that yummy milkshake."

After awhile we got into a good conversation talking about our friends and our relationships.

Hearing an ahem*, me and Andrew look over our shoulders to see Darien trying to get our attention.

Looking at him, he seemed to be a mess. His hair all ruffled and his clothes atrocious. He was wearing the green jacket and grey slacks that he had worn yesterday. To top it off he looked extremely tired. His eyes still were the bluest of blues, there with some worry but it was bothersome to see him this way.

"Hey Serena, you look pretty happy" Darien says with a big smile, while taking a seat beside me. He motioned for Andrew to bring him a coffee.

"Yeah, I passed my social studies with a A, but you look really off today. Everything alright?" I reply back while eyeing him up and down, checking for any injuries.

"Haha, yeah, long night of studying for my exams for school, no worries I just put it off till last-minute. Did a lot of studying into the late hours but its all good now. Anyways, that's great on your test Serena. I am so happy for you. Keep up the work" he says, eyes gleaming, full of admiration and love.

He leans over and places a kiss on my forehead, than casually holds my hand. Stroking the top of my hand while we continue our conversation about school and of course us.

"Well, you two let me know if you need anything, I got to get back to work." Andrew says before going back to work.

Hearing oohing and kissing sounds, behind me and Darien, we stop talking and turn to see the girls. They all had big smiles on their faces.

"Hey girls, I didn't even notice you guys come in" Darien says all cool and collected. He casually drank his coffee and motioned to Andrew for a refill.

"Yeah, I got here awhile ago and decided to chit-chat with Darien for a bit till you guys came" Serena says to all four girls, while looking back at Darien with a huge smile. She loved this four so much and was glad to have them in her life.

"Hey, Serena, you look mighty happy today", says Lita with a huge smile, arms crossed her chest, waiting for a reply. She knew something was up just by looking at Serena.

"Ah, yes, I do have some news ", I say just smiling back at my friends. I was so excited, it was hard to keep anything a secret.

It was Ami who caught my attention, she was hinting to sit at a table with them. Something told me it was important.

Darien just smiles getting the hint that the girls wanted to talk to me alone. "It's fine, go sit with them, I shall see you later."

"Serena, we were thinking on having a meeting this evening at the shrine. I have some news that we all need to hear." Ami says looking at her mini-computer, pressing all kinds of buttons, with a determined look. She was so into it that it must have been pretty important to have her attention.

"Oh, have you heard or suspected anything about a new enemy?" I asked clearly sensing something was wrong. We have not fought any enemies for a month now and it was worrying us all. It was definitely worrisome. I had a gut instinct tell me so. I never mentioned it to the girls though.

"Not a thing that should worry any of us but what I can't figure out is why you're so happy" she says with a huge smile and leaning forward on the table, waiting for my answer.

The other girls all lean forward and anxiously wait for my answer.

"Well, you see I passed social studies with a A" I say, after seeing as to where this conversation will now lead.

I look at them all just to see their shocked expressions but quickly changing to ones of pride. I was proud to get such a great mark and for once not have detention after school.

"Serena, that's amazing" Mina grabs my hands and is all smiles. The girls all smile and I feel super proud at that moment. I am finally making progress and to know I did this on my own without help.

"Way to go meatball head, I guess there is more than meatballs in that head of yours" Raye sticks out her tongue after her remark. She crosses her arms and keeps blowing raspberries.

Lita just face palms, knowing an argument would from that remark. Noticing there was none but smiles. She looks up and hugs me.

"You keep that up, and you can get into a college right away after high school " Ami says, Glad to know her leader and best friend was improving. She looked at me with a big smile.

**All Sweatdrop**

"I don't think I am quite ready for college but thanks Ami, it means a lot. For now, I am starved. Burgers and friends for me in the meantime" I smile back at her. I kind of figured she would say something like that, after all, that's Ami.

"Well, Serena, it is great to hear you got such a good mark and to be here before any of us" Raye chides to her. Teasing her about the kissing scene they walked in on.

"Oh Raye, cut it for now. Serena has every right to be happy. Beside doesn't that guy look like my ex-boyfriend. She motions to one of the four guys walking past the window.

"He looks familiar though, and cute but I wonder if they are from here or what." Mina chides excitedly.

Changed little bits to this chapter but enjoy :)
