To anyone who was a frequent visitor of the arcade in Tokyo, would know that at a certain time in the afternoon, a blonde teenaged female and a raven haired male would ensue in their typical banter. But on this particular day when said raven-haired male walked in, he almost fell unconscious on the spot. For sitting in one of the booths with a book in front of her face was the blonde teenaged female. Shaking off his shock, he strode forward and slid into the booth. Sensing the man's presence, the blonde didn't bother looking up, but continued reading. This also shocked the raven-haired male, and he just sat there trying to figure out if he had stepped into an alternate universe.

Finally, not able to take it anymore, the man, Darien, said, "Do my eyes deceive me or is the Meatball Head actually reading something other than a comic book?"

"Hello, Jerk," she replied. "It's nice to see you too, but could you do me a favor and not bother me today? I'm actually trying to study over here."

That was not the answer he had been expecting and stared at her slack jawed. She was studying? Actually studying? But she seemed to be enjoying the task, what exactly was she studying that caused her so much joy? Hesitantly, he reached out a hand and tried to slide the book over to take a look, but Serena's hands snatched it back before he could do such a thing.

"What are you studying, Serena?" He asked in his kindest voice. It almost caused Serena to buckle and hand over the textbook, but she held it even closer to her heart, a slight blush to creep over her cheeks.

"None of your business," she replied. "But I'd rather study in peace, if you don't mind, Jerk. So please, leave me be." Sensing her need to be alone, Darien reluctantly got out of the booth and went to go sit at the counter. Exchanging shocked looks with Andrew, the arcade owner, he ordered his usual black coffee and kept his eyes on the blonde in the booth. What was she studying?

But his question was instantly answered when the other blonde, Mina rushed in screaming, "Serena are you ready for our human sexuality exam tomorrow?" The same textbook was in her hands and Darien finally understood the blush on Serena's cheeks when he had tried to take it from her.

But a small smile crept onto his face, despite himself.
