Okay, here we have my very, very, very first Sailor Moon Fanfic. So, please you guys, review and let me know what you think. With all Anime, I don't own Sailor moon, as much as I would love to. Well, On with the fic!

Paradise

Darkness blanketed the tiny room, giving off a scary and yet, incomplete effect to everything and its surroundings. Outside the sole window in the room, a tiny moon stayed, hoping to get a few more peeks before the sun made its way up. It provided little light to the room, and everything appeared to be a mound of black sitting about the room. The only thing that could be seen were the large round eyes of the tiny black cat that made her rounds across the room. She was obviously a cat of wonder from the way it seemed to almost rule the room. She walked across the floor, tiptoeing with each step. She then jumped up on what appeared to be a bed. Walking tipsily, she made her way up the soft, bouncing comforters, and stopped right at the very top of the bed. She stared at a sleeping form, who was at peace beneath the giant sheets. Suddenly, a loud ringing sound echoed in the room, and the poor cat was flung into a pile of clothes on the other side of the room. Grabbing the clock beside the bed, the sleepy person shut it off, and looked at the time, hoping for an additional 15 minutes. Judging from the scream a few seconds afterwards, she wasn't going to get it. What appeared to be a blonde girl shoved herself out of bed and grabbing the clothes on her chair became a blur of long golden strands as she dashed into her bathroom.

SERENA!

The tiny black cat managed to sputter those words out as she crawled out of the hamper Serena so carelessly tossed her into. Of course the cat was a bit too late. Serena was in the bathroom, and the door was of course locked. Sighing to herself she walked to the outside door and hoped on the desk nearby. It was the home to Serena's computer and her many comic books and few textbooks. She stood on top of the black Dell monitor and flicked on the light with her delicate paw. If she had to wait for Serena she should at least be able to see better… right? Climbing down, but not without stepping in what appeared to be a pile of rice, the black cat made her way to the bathroom door, and waited. She waited and waited and waited, and after about 40 minutes, out popped the new and improved Serena. Her hair was neatly pulled into two ponytails, and her long blonde hair curled slightly at the ends. Her uniform, which was wrinkled when she picked it up, was neatly pressed more than likely from the steam in her shower. Her socks were neatly bobbed and her cute little high-heeled black shoes were for the first time in her life, polished and shiny.

Serena, listen, about the time…

Can't talk now Luna! Can't you see I'm late! I have my communicator! If there is an emergency contact me while I'm in school and I-

Serena! Would you just listen for a second!

Can't… late... for schoool! Bye Luna!

With that Serena was out the door, and down the stairs thundering with each step. Luna sighed. She wished Serena had stopped for just 2 seconds. That's as long as it would have took to tell her that her brother had set her alarm, meaning it was really, 3 hours ahead of time. Serena would be so angry when she returned home! Luna sighed to herself. Oh well, right? It's not a real emergency right? This would only mean that Serena was for once in her life, on time for school, and Luna would be the one to get it when she returned home, and not her brother. Well, until she found out it really was her brother. Luna decided a nice nap was in order for herself. Dealing with Serena when she got home would take all her energy, not that she had any to spare. She crawled on the bed, and laid on Serena's fluffy pink pillow. Stretching her claws out, and then retracting them and her paws underneath her body. She then laid on Serena's pillow o' drool, and fell asleep.

Somewhere down the block, Serena is seen lifting her legs high in a mad dash to the school. She was an hour late! She had missed first and was about to miss second period if she didn't hurry. She saw Amy in front of her, and would have stopped had Mr. Griffin not issued a warning out that Serena never miss another minute of his class. Besides, he was quite the hunk! He was only ten years older than Serena, and she could swear he was about to declare undying love to her any second… once she left the dunce corner. Amy looked up to see a running Serena and with a big smile, waved hello to her friend. Serena waved a hello to her genus friend before flying past her leaving the poor girl on the floor, papers scattered everywhere. Serena screamed she was sorry, and turned the corner boosting herself to maximum speed. She was travel a good few feet before slamming head on to a body who was obviously made of steel, copper, or whatever metal you could think of. By now her strappy black shoes were a scuffed mess, and her blue uniform skirt was wrinkled and the pleats were in disarray. The white uniform shirt probably had all types of bug splatters from her speed, and she was in no position to be standing in front of probably the most handsome man in Japan.

Darien fell back hard. Serena herself was on the floor and staring into Darien's face. She thought for just a second… maybe she should apologize. She was about to do just that until she heard the sound of an alarm clock in a nearby house and realized... she was late! Poor Darien sat up slowly and rubbing his head looked up to find nothingness in front of him. He glanced behind him just in time to watch the pesky Serena tuning the next corner. Damn that meatball head! She was so clumsy! So ill mannered…her and her wild flowers perfume. He picked himself up off the ground, and brushing off the crumbled leaves and bugs from his black suit jacket, continued on his way to the train station.

Serena now on the last block, finally slowed down and began to think. I just bumped into Darien. I hope he didn't see me. Her cheeks turned red at the thought. She had just touched him. Ran smack dab right into his chest. And he smelled so good… so…. What the hell as she thinking! Darien was totally gross! Besides, he hated her… calling her meatball head…. Humph… her ponytails weren't even that big. She turned and walked up the steps to stare at the very surprised Principle.

Serena! He said very startled. Serena stared back just as startled and gave a tiny bow, praying he wouldn't realize just how late she was.

Yes Mr. Ugashi, it's me.

Well, I never thought I'd see the day!

Mr. Ugashi! Please let me explain, my cat… she…she-

No! No! No need to explain! Into my office! Immediately young lady!

Serena bowed again and hurriedly made her way into Mr. Ugashi's office. She hadn't seen it in so long. Not since she cut the whole day and was found at the arcade… some 2 weeks ago. Damn those security guards! Weren't they supposed to be inside the school? Serena opened the door slowly and stepped inside the room. The large wooden, desk had been moved to the far right corner of the room, and it was directly in front of the only window in the room. The overhead lights were off, and the walk seemed longer to his desk. It seemed well… actually frightening for the first time in her life. Mr. Ugashi was right behind her and past her quickly sitting down in his heavy wooden chair behind the desk. He was going bald, and had a slight ring of gray around his head as if he had been a monk from the 17th century. His eyes were a piercing blue and his face always had a stern look about it, even when he smiled. No one really did like him, not even the secretaries, but he had the whole school in his hands and no one was really "big" enough to challenge his authority.

Serena had been standing for quite a while, and suddenly snapped back into reality. Mr. Ugashi was paying her no mind and flipping through papers on his desk. Weary washed over her and she took a seat in the tiny intimidating seat in front of her. If she were in trouble at least she would be comfortable. Mr. Ugashi flipped through endless papers, and finally it looked as if he found what he had been looking for. He glanced up at Serena who was now a shaking mess.

Serena, I believe we have good news for you today!

Good… news? Are you sure?

Yes, I'm quite sure. It seems that for the first time in the history of the school you are early!

Wait…wait… wait... Early how did tha-

And you picked a quite fine day to do it too. I proudly present you with a 7-day pass for 7 friends, to Hawaii in the United States. Congratulations!

WHAT!

We were supposed to have held the contest today, meaning that you have won! The first person to arrive early would receive a trip. Tomorrow it will be a brand new bedroom set. But don't push your luck Serena, we only allow one winner per year. You never knew about the contests because you were never on time. Which I should be giving you detention for today! Congratulation, your flight leaves in a week, and you will be taking your assignments with you. If I were you, I'd get a move on and find your teachers and explain the predicament.

Wait.. Mr. Ugashi are you-

Serena, get a move on! Get out of my office…Now!

With that Serena stood and hurried out of Mr. Ugashi's office. She ran into the girl's bathroom and leaned on the fake pink linoleum sinks…. Could this be true! A trip with all her friends… during school! School Rocks!

Okay there we have the first chapter of my very first Sailor Moon fanfic! Please… be nice! Well, let me know what you think. I'm open to any and every suggestion! Bye Guys! ---
