Chapter 6: Raya
Rated PG-13

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon and I didn't write "Anything You Can Do,
I Can Do Better"

"Hey Tammian!"

"What?!"

"Anything you can do, I can do better! o/` I can do anything better than you!"

"o/` No you can't"

"o/` Yes I can."

"o/` No you can't"

"o/` Yes I can."

"o/` Anything you can do I can do greater. Sooner or later I'm greater than
you.

"o/` No you're not."

"o/` Yes I am."

"o/` No you're not"

"o/` Yes I am!"

Wohoo, variety show rehearsals ^_^. This is a perfect song for me and Tam.

(Tam's turn)"o/` I can live on bread and cheese."

"o/` Only on that?"

"Yep"

"o/` So can a rat. Anything you can sing I can sing sweeter, I can sing
anything sweeter than you."

"(Sweetly, but still masculine)o/` No you can't."

"(Think Dorothy in Wizard of Oz sweet) o/` Yes I can."

"(very hot and sexy) o/` Noo youu caan't"

"o/` Yes I ca-A-a-A-a-A-an"

"No you can't"

(AN:Damn I'm begining to drool over his hot singing! This was in my school's
variety show, in which I sang "1000 Oceans" by Tori Amos. The guy who was
singing Tam's part was HOT! But a reputed player.)

"Yes, I caannnn!"

"No you can't, can't, can't!!!!"

"(still managing some cuteness to it) Yes I can, can, ca----"

"Sere, something wrong? What happened?!" Mr. Toms, the choral director called
out to me off stage, with both annoyance and concern in his voice.

I don't know what exactly it was that I felt, but I could almost sense the
arrival of something. A senshi? Or maybe our enemy, the Dark Kingdom? I could
see in Tam's eyes that he sensed it, too.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Toms. The pain from my ankle shot up again, I guess."

About a week ago, we were attacked by another youman, and I twisted my ankle.
I used jogging and my weak ankles as a cover up for the real cause of the
pain and that Tam brought me to his house for a small treatment from Dr.
Bouletta as cover up for the time wasted and the quick healing.

(Oh yeah, you guys might be thinking, "I thought you guys are supposed to be
pretending to hate each others guts in public." Well, we said we'll fake not
being a couple, but I already gave that rose to Tam before his whole lunch
table, so we just act like very close friends, at least, so we can still hug
each other in public.)

"H, Serena! Serena, um, can I talk to you?" I turned to confront the
overambitious Student Body President, Mike McComik.

"Give it up McComik, I'm not going to be you're rebound girl." He broke up
with Princess Pompoms Benny Amire recently. The fuckin' player has a list of
rebound girls, and since I'm the most stubborn and challenging, I'm at the
top.

"OK, on to big favor number 2..." Number 2?..."You know a lot about the
school system and how it works right? And ya get along with people well
enough, but are no naiveté?" Oh, he knows a big boy's word...

"I guess...Oh wait, don't tell me. Transfer student, female, not your type
(single cheerleaders with silicon-looking boobs, myself excepted), get
someone else to do the dirty work while you hit on the whole pep squad?" His
mouth dropped, meaning I was right on the dot. I amaze myself.
"Pleassssseeeeeeeee???"

"Get off my arm, and I'll think about it"

Raya Azucena

White Lily Lightning.

Cool name. So, the new girl's Spanish. What, with all the popular Latino
music I despise (do like Santana though, and "When You Sang to Me" is sweet,
but that's it), would make Mike to retreat? One look and I understood it all.
Goth. The majority of goths in this school are bent on destroying him.

Raya had, apparently, cherry chocolate hair, like mine, which she dyed
hot pink like Gwen Stefani around her face and green eyes, one with a blue
contact lens covering it to have the same mismatched eyes as Delirium from
Neil Gaiman's Endless series (Destiny, Death, who has her own series, Dream,
who also has his own series, Despair, desire and Delirium, who looks a hell
lot like Tori Amos). Very cool.

"Hey, I'm Serena deLune. You must be Raya. I'll be showing you around the
school."

"I thought the president was going to show me around. I know you're not him,
the told me in advance, and you don;t look like an AV geek whom they commonly
get instead."

"Lesson One: Our president is a shallow player who only goes near AV geeks
during election time, so you've got me."

"Lesson Two: No beepers, cell phones, laptops, cameras, or portable TVs, but
no one cares for that rule but the Principle an' Vice-Principle."

"You've been through this a lot. Family move a lot?"

"Yeah."

"Army dad?"

Raya stopped in her tracks."Papa ran out on us. Ma looks for good jobs all
over the country constantly."

"Oh.....sorry.....does she have one yet? 'Cause if she doesn't, I might be
able to help."

"Really? After Papa ran out, Ma's worked so hard. If joy does exist, she
should be first to have it."

"Yeah, my aunt owns Danielle's, a dress shop two block from here. It's gotten
pretty popular, considering this is New York.She's been needing more help and
I'm sure she'll give your mom a job."

"Wow, you've got it down, Raya"

"When you move as much as I do, you learn things fast. It's really a slice.
See that guy there?" She was pointing at Tammian. I got a little nervous at
that.

"Oh, you mean Bouletta the Ass-headed?" "Hey!" "Nyeah..."

"Yeah, while your the school sass, he's the school's every-girl's-dream type.
Ya know, the classic casanova type. The guy who so afraid of commitment, he
dumps a girl in two weeks."

"....."

"What no sassy remark?"

"What you've said isn't entirely true."

"Huh?!"

"You know how guy, no matter how hard they try and stutter or say '...um...'?
Especially to a girl they feel they were born to be with? Watch this..."

I walked up to Tam and made sure that we were loud enough for Raya to hear.
"Hey Tam...so...I'll see you tonight...my protector of the Earth?"
"U-um.....y-ye-yeah ... tonight...my *gulp* moon princess" His face was
redder than Benny's slutty lipsitck. I sweetly and passonately kissed him on
the lips, and I could feel him tremble as I put my arms around him to pull
him close. And he, ingnoring Raya's presence, pulled me closer. I could see
he was dissapointed when I pulled away from him to join Raya. I
reallycouldn't blame him, it was a great performance for something that was
half acted.

"Oh my God! Serena you mean...you acctually..."

"Tamed the wild beast of raging hormones?" I offered. "I'm his first steady
girlfriend, and it my stay that way. It may sound nieve, but we love
eachother dearly. But don't tell anyone. Tam and I are keeping this a secret
for now, and we don't want to create riots in the school now, do we?"

"No. But you are sooooooooooo lucky!"

"Huh?"

"He's HOT!"

"Yeah, I know. I'll have both the pep squad and the debate team after me
untill colledge, maybe longer, if word gets out too soon.

"Oh damn! This thing's out of batteries, again!" I cursed at my CD player for
the umpteenth time this month.

"Really? Here, lemme see it, I always bring extras, just in case." "Thanks."
But right when Raya touched my blue discman, I could feel a ahrge go through
it, and it began to play again to play again. Could she be...?

"Oh, it's begining to play again, Raya. I'm must have put it on hold again,
ya know? A clutzoid and a sass, that's me. Thanks any how. I've got to get
going, I have ab important meeting to got to,. I'll see you tomorrow. Ja ne!"
* I've got to get in contact with Luna. There's something odd going on.First
that attack by the airport, followed by the preminition I had the practice
the night before Raya came to school, then I feel strangely attached and
familiar with her. And now she recharged my batteries just by touching my
discman. I hope she's not an agent for the Dark Kingdom, it would be a real
pitty to destroy her. *
