10. Studying
"I can't imagine going through what Molly went through." Andrew said. "Loosing the person you love."
Darien just nodded. After yesterday's war, he may have gotten the first rainbow crystal but Zoicite was getting on his nerves. Not to mention, he knew now for certain that he was in fact Tuxedo Mask…and with knowing this the only question he had was who could the Sailor Scouts possibly be?
Just then the clink of the door, interfered with this thoughts, and he watched the blonde meatball head walk into the arcade.
"What's got you so happy Meatball head?" Darien asked.
"Nothing really." She was secretly happy that she had found Tuxedo Mask's locket. Something about the music made her soothed and happy. Not to mention the acquirement of the moon wand gave her an up on where the monsters would be. Two points for Sailor Moon.
"So how's Molly doing Serena?" Andrew asked.
"Better actually." Serena started. "If you really want to know…"
The two men slowly leaned in. Darien tried to make it less obvious, but Serena noticed his interest too.
"I think her and Melvin like each other." She finished smiling widely.
"Melvin? Wasn't he the boy that you turned down?" Andrew asked.
"Well he is a bit of a geek… but if it's what Molly wants then…" She added.
"Well that's good that she's happy." Darien said, his mind still racing with his own problems.
"Yep, and knowing Melvin I'll probably have to give him a few pointers." Serena said thinking aloud.
"You? Giving Melvin pointers? What do you know about relationships Serena?" Darien said skeptically.
"Enough." She replied.
"Just don't interfere too much Serena." Andrew warned nicely before leaving to serve other costumers.
"So if you're such a relationship guru Meatball Head, where's you're boyfriend?" Darien asked, halfheartedly.
She shrugged. "I don't know. Somewhere out in the world…he just hasn't found me yet." She seemed happy with the answer.
He looked at her; why she didn't have a boyfriend he didn't know... could be because of her infatuation with Tuxedo Mask. He wondered how she'd react if she'd found out he was Tuxedo Mask…now that would be interesting.
"How about you? Where is Raye?"
"I think she was spending after school studying…either way like I told you before, I'm not really dating her." He said as he sipped his coffee.
She looked at him. Raye was kind of lucky…he was pretty decent looking…but his stupid nickname for her was not appreciated. Then it clicked in.
"STUDY GROUP!" She said suddenly. "Raye is going to be so steamed. I got to go!" She nearly fell off the stool, as she grabbed her school back and ran out of the arcade.
He laughed to himself. He noticed one of her books fell out of her bag in the rush. It said Math on it, so he decided to open it.
To his surprise…well not complete surprise he saw less math and more doodles. Doodles of Tuxedo Mask and a Meatball headed girl, and a lot of hearts around it. He laughed at it; having Serena for a fan wasn't such a bad thing, even if she didn't know it.
