Uh, Hi? Well, this is my first fan-fic. So, go easy on me? Please r and r. If you don't, I won't post the other chapters. I need at least five reviews. Is that so much to ask? Please? ::Puppy face:: I almost forgot. The italicized words are the ones spoken in English. Regular font is Japanese. Confused? Well, read and find out!! ^___^ …
Oh yea. Sailor Moon does not belong to me. ::Grumbles and walks away::

"Jerk!"
"Odango Atama."
"Baka!"
"Airhead."
The argument between the petite blonde and raven-haired man filled the empty arcade. Darien smirked at the anger flushed on Usagi's fragile-like features. Outwardly, she was fuming with anger, but inside, she was smiling with amusement. It never seemed to amaze her that this sophisticated senior would spend any of his precious attention on her. For the first time in a long time, she did not have detention, so she had hurried to the arcade. One of the reasons she had wanted to come to the arcade so early was to skip the daily argument that came up when she bumped into Darien. But alas, even that was not prevented. No sooner had she entered the arcade, the man had spotted her and almost collapsed from astonishment. He commented on how the world must be ending, thus the daily argument sprouted earlier than usual. Her remarks came out loud and childish, his spilling forth in a quiet, condescending tone.
Usagi puffed up her chest, ready for another bout of insults when her friends entered the arcade. The lunch rush was about to begin. "Sorry, jerk. I'd love to stay and argue with you, but I have some friends to talk to, unlike a certain somebody." With that the girl left and walked over to her friends a bright smile replacing her enraged look.
"Have fun talking about nothing." Darien took a seat again, his day much brighter than before. The girl amused him to no end…losing her temper so easily.
"You know Darien? For a guy who doesn't notice the gorgeous girls following him, you sure do pay a lot of attention on that tiny girl." Andrew smiled mischievously and stood behind the counter, staring at his best friend.
An eyebrow quirked up, as the usually quiet man laughed. "If you're implying that I'm attracted to this girl, than let me save you the breath. Sure she's cute and amusing, but I can't ever date a girl like her. She's clumsy, an airhead, absolutely no manners … need I say more?"
"And her personality? She's bright, fun, and kind. Even to strangers." Andrew blinked and chuckled dryly. "Although, I think you're an exception."
"Ha ha, funny. She's got a great personality, but I don't have the time or patience to date someone like her. The faults out-weigh the good. Get rid of those faults and you've got a great girl. It doesn't even matter that she's not the brightest … but she's downright lazy. And no one can ever count on her." Darien blew into his coffee, staring at the black liquid.
The blonde-haired man sighed and started to wipe the counters. "Sometimes, Darien, I don't think we see the real Usagi. There are times when she acts like some entirely different person, but seems to catch herself before too many notice."
"Dream on, Andrew. Dream on." Darien's laughter was drowned by a hyena-like laugh erupting from a certain blonde-haired girl.
"So, meatball head, no detention today I see." The black-haired beauty smirked and leaned back on her chair, a friendly expression in her eyes.
"Shut it, Rei. I'm having a good day today." Usagi pouted and leaned on Lita's shoulder. "Litaaaaaaa!!! Rei's being mean to meeee!!" The wail filled the arcade, almost popping the brunette Amazon's eardrums.
"Ahh!! Geez, lower the decibels Usagi. You're gonna make me deaf someday!" She sweat-dropped as Usagi blinked and her lower lip started to tremble. "Here we go." Usagi's four friends sighed and covered their ears, gazing sadly towards the poor seniors still talking at the counter.
"WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! YOU'RE ALL SO MEEAAANNNN!!!" Tears sprouted from her eyes and she threw a temper-tantrum.
Darien and Andrew stopped talking and gazed towards the direction where the siren-like sounds were coming from. Covering their tortured ears, they stared with astonishment at the girl, mouth slightly gaping. No matter how many times they went through this, nobody could seem to get used to the high shrills that came from the girl.
Opening her eyes, she hiccupped and stopped wailing, sniffling. "Okay, I'm done." A small smile appeared on her angelic face as she gazed towards the six dazed people in the arcade.
"So, this is what became of the great Serena." All eyes turned towards the door, where a tall silver-haired man stood, his gaze resting on Usagi's face. He had spoken in English, and was dressed as wealthy man in an Armani suit. Amy gazed at the man, being one of the few in the room who understood English. Looking at Darien, she could see that he had understood what the man had said also. Deciding to rescue her friend from certain embarrassment, she stood up to speak, but was stopped when Usagi stood up.
"Michael!" Her back was ramrod straight as she gazed back into the man's cold ice-blue eyes.
"Hello, Serena. It's been awhile." He slowly made his way towards the girl, ignoring the astonished looks of the other people in the room. He had one goal and that was Serena.
"Not long enough." She prevented herself from looking at her friends, concentrating only on the man walking towards her. "Please, come to my house later on. We can discuss what we need to later on there. With Irene and Ken present." She almost gasped at the quick anger that flashed through Michael's eyes at the mention of the couple's names. Her stiff posture relaxed a bit as he stopped halfway on the way towards her. He was definitely larger than she remembered him to be, but of course it had been three years.
A slow smile crossed his face as he turned. "All right then. The Tsukino's house, tonight at eight. I've waited three years for you, I can wait a few more hours." When he reached the door, he turned once more a sad smile on his face. "I've missed you, little one." Then, he was gone. Leaving a quiet arcade and a confused girl.
"Usagi?! You can speak English?!!" Rei stood up, astonished at the scene that had taken place in front of her. She felt the girl's forehead, still in shock.
Swatting her friend's hand away, she sat down, sighing. "Serena, that was amazing! You're English is terrific! No accent whatsoever! Who was that man?" Amy spun out her remarks, her brain trying to understand how her clumsy and air headed friend spoke English so well, and how did she know a man of such high status?
"I guess Meatball head has some secrets." Darien and Andrew walked over to the table, wanting to know what had just happened. Darien had understood everything that had taken place, and he couldn't help but wonder why the man had called Usagi … Serena.
She sighed and gazed at the people who surrounded her. "I…I'm sorry." Then, she ran out of the arcade, followed closely by everyone. Ignoring the people following her, she screamed out the man's name, hoping to catch his attention. "Michael! Michael!" The man turned around and smiled at the girl running towards him. Serena threw herself into Michael's arms, a soft sigh escaping from her lips at the warmth that radiated from him. "I've missed you too."
Four girls and two men watched in bewilderment as the girl they thought they knew, threw herself into a stranger's arms. Darien felt something pull in his heart as he watched the two, obviously lovers. His mid-night blue eyes turned dark, almost black as the man pulled Usagi closer, engulfing the small body with his large frame.
Michael sighed in bliss as he hugged the girl, pain from his past disappearing, just by holding her. "I've missed you so much. You'll never understand how much." He, at first, had not recognized her. With blonde hair and blue eyes … what had the girl done to herself? But he had taken a chance and spoken, and was startled to find that this idiotic girl was his precious Serena. He had come to take Serena back home, it seemed the job would be a lot easier than he had planned.
