Serena's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Last afternoon," said Miss Haruna (Miss H.), "We decided that
all of you will be pairing up with a college student at the University
of Aurora also known as UOA. We will be going there right when the
bus comes. As for right now, until the bus gets here, you can do
whatever you want." And then she walked out
"Yay!" yelled all students.
"Hey, Lita," I called to my friend, Lita Kino. Lita turned
towards me. My name is Serena Tsukino, and I am a 17-year old who went
to the Aurora High School. I had blond hair that was in ponytails
that started from buns that were on top of my head. The ponytails
ended below my knee. I had big blue eyes that people say are filled
with innocence, purity, and love. Lita Kino was also a 17-year old
who had auburn that was tied in a high ponytail with a blue-green
beaded scrunchy. She had green eyes. I also have other friends, like
Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, and Mina Aino, (AN: Rei and Mina go to the same
school as Serena, Ami, and Lita). "Don't you think that pairing up
with college kids are going to be cool?!" I asked.
"Yeah, especially if you're going to be paired up with guys!"
exclaimed Lita.
"Mmhmm."
"Look, the busses are finally here!" yelled one of their
classmates.
"Alright students," said Miss H., who was know walking in. She
was fuming. It almost looked like smoke was coming out of her ears.
The class suddenly quieted down, afraid of her. "Get in a single
line, and head towards the bus!" The students quickly did that. Lita
and I sat next to each other. Miss H. was sitting two seats in front
of them. The bus driver explained the rules in a totally boring voice
and started the bus. During the bus ride, Miss H.'s cell phone rang.
Lita and I were listening. We heard her say, "Robert!" and then she
looked really happy.
"Well, now she's in a happy mood. Hope she stays like that!" I
replied.
"Yeah, I know. She's so grumpy when she's angry!" agreed Lita.
"Ok, class. We're here!" said Mrs. H. in a singsong voice. We
all got out of the bus. As we were walking, we were looking at the
campus. We all thought it was huge! (AN: Of course it's big to them,
but UOA is really a small campus compared to other colleges.) We were
finally going to meet people who were attending college! As we passed
more buildings we started to turn into a building which turned out to
be a classroom. They were full of students standing up, waiting to
meet their new partner.
"Hey, Serena. Somebody will be real lucky to get that guy in
the front at the first seat!" exclaimed Mina Aino. Mina is the same
height as me and we look a lot like each other. She has blond hair
that's tied in a big red bow. She also has blue eyes. I looked at who
Mina was talking about. I gasped when I saw him. It was Darien
Chiba, my old friend! He sure has changed, I thought as I remembered
when I last saw him. It was 4 years ago. I was 13 and he was 15. He
was kind of skinny, and had short black hair, and blue eyes. Now he
was tall and well built, his bangs were longer which gave him a
mysterious appearance, and his blue eyes, you could just drown in
them, I thought. He was my next door neighbor. His family had to
move all of a sudden because his dad's job. I hadn't heard from him
since. I also remembered that I kind of had a crush on him. I was
totally mad when I heard that he was moving away. Our parents were
friends and so we knew each other since I was born.
"Ok, why don't you all pick someone, and if the person you pick
turns you down, then just go find another partner. Do not, and I
repeat, do not whine! That also includes you, Serena! Ok, go ahead."
I knew that I was totally red at that moment. All the girls were
running toward Darien, and then after a few minutes, they all had
angry faces on them. So they all looked for other people. Darien
silently walked toward me and smiled at me.
"Hey, Serena. How have you been?" asked Darien. My eyes lit
up.
"You actually remember me?" I asked.
"How could I forget you? I always made fun at how you would put
up your hair. I use to call you Chibi-Meatball Head. I guess you
still do put your hair in that style! I should call you Meatball Head
now since you're not so Chibi!" he laughed. I thought his laughter
was so... I couldn't really explain it.
"So, Darien, you want to be my partner?"
"Why do you think I turned down all those girls for? Anyway, we
need to catch up on things."
"You're right. I wonder what the project is, though?"
"Ok, take a seat next to your partner." Said Miss H. We sat
down. I looked at who my friends were paired up with. Ami Mizuno was
paired up with a guy with short brown hair with blue eyes. Rei Hino
was paired up with a guy with long brown hair that covered his eyes,
so I guessed it was brown. Lita was also paired with a guy that had
short brown hair with brown eyes. Mina was paired with a guy with
short blond hair, and blue eyes. They're cute, but not as cute as
Darien, I thought. "Ok, in this project, as you know, you will be
pairing up. We will be having a talent competition. We will pick
winners from this group and the winners will be in the State
Competition, and if you're still in, then you'll go on to the National
Competition. You can act, paint, read pieces of work that you've made,
sing, the list goes on. You can use this time to figure what you want
to do. Any questions?"
"Um... Miss H., why are we doing this project?" asked a
classmate of mine.
"Well, I decided that this would be fun and that you all needed
break from school things. Professor Lee did the same thing and we
will be representing our schools and city. Any other questions?" A
classmate of Darien's raised her hand.
"Yes?" asked Professor Lee.
"Can we work on this after school?"
"Yes, you may," replied the professor.
"Anymore?" No one raised his or her hand. "Ok, you may begin."
"Why don't we sing?" I asked.
"Sing? Are you crazy? I'm not going to sing in front of my
other classmates of any judges!" responded Darien.
"Why not? When we were younger, you used to sing all the time.
You were also good. If you were good then, you're good now!"
"I don't know, Serena."
"Please?" I put on my puppy face that I knew no one could
resist. Darien looked at me.
"Fine. I know that I'm going to regret this."
"Thank-you so much!"
"Meet me at 4:00 today in front of this room."
"Ok, well, time's up! Time to go!" announced Miss H. We all
said goodbye to our partner and went toward the bus. I sat by Lita,
Ami sat by Mina, and Rei sat by herself.
"You're so lucky, Serena. You got the hunkiest guy in there?
How did you get so lucky?" asked Mina.
"Darien and I knew each other since we were babies, that's why," I
replied.
"Well, my partner's not so bad. He's kind of cute. His name is
Ken," said Lita.
"My partner's name is Chad," responded Rei. Rei had long
purple-black hair that she let flow down freely. Her eyes were the
same color.
"My partner's name is Greg," replied Ami. Ami had blue short
hair that ended at the nape of her neck. She had blue eyes.
"My partner can really sing and act. He wants to be an example
to other people, too. Anyway, his name is Nick," confirmed Mina.
"So what did you decide to do?" I asked.
"Greg and I wanted to read the poems we made."
"Chad and I are going to sing."
"Ken and I are going to cook."
"Nick and I are going to act out a play since I can't sing a
note."
"Really? Well, me and Darien are going to sing, too."
"That's cool, but can you sing, Meatball Head?" asked Rei.
"Hey, where'd you come up with that name?" I questioned.
"Oh, I was walking by and I heard him say that he use to call
you Chibi-Meatball Head, but he should call you Meatball Head now.
That's where I got the idea."
"Only he can call me that, alright?! And yes, I can sing!"
"Why can he only call you that?" Ami asked.
"Well, he was the one who made up the name and I said a long
time ago that I would only let him say it. I hated it so much and he
was going to babble it to my other friends and I couldn't let him, so
I made him a deal, I won't argue with him about my "new name" and he
won't babble. He didn't like my whining, but then he said that he
would agree only if he could say it. Since then, I haven't let anyone
say that to me."
"Do you like him?" Mina asked all of a sudden.
"What?"
"Simple question, do you like him, Serena?" I could tell Mina
was turning serious.
"Um...well, I don't know," I stammered.
"Yes, you do. You just don't want to admit, right?"
interrogated Rei.
"Ok, so maybe I like him a little."
"A little?" Rei looked really skeptical.
"Alright, I'm head over heels in love with the guy, ok?" I
admitted.
"Tell him, Serena. He might like you back."
"I don't know. It might ruin our friendship and what about
Jonathan? I can't just say 'I've met another guy who I don't even
know if he likes me back, so see you some other time!'"
"Well, you do have a point, but Jonathan's only using you."
"No he isn't! And how would you know?"
"Serena, Darien does care for you."
"Yeah, as a friend."
"No, he really, really cares about you, more than a friend
could. He does like you."
"Yeah right. Where'd you get that from?"
"I saw it in his eyes while he was looking at you."
"Even if he does like me back, I'm still not going to tell him
until he tells me, if he does."
"Ok Serena, it's your decision."
"You're right, it is my decision."
"But you should listen to me, after all, I am Venus, the goddess
of love!" Mina threw her hair over her shoulder and everyone laughed
because we all knew that she was talking about our other identities as
Sailor Scouts, being that Mina is Sailor Venus. Ami is Sailor
Mercury, Rei is Sailor Mars, Lita is Sailor Jupiter, and I am Sailor
Moon, leader of the Sailor Scouts. All the battles suddenly stopped
though, so I don't think any Negaverse Trash is going to bother us
again.

Darien's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Darien!" shouted Nick Anderson.
"Hey Nick," I said. "How are you doing?"
"Ok, you?"
"I'm doing ok."
"Hey Darien!" yelled Ken Marlin. Chad Wilkins, and Greg Stevens
were also walking with Ken and walking towards Darien.
"Man, those high school girls are fine!" exclaimed Chad.
"You shouldn't base your dream girl on how she looks on the
outside. What matters is..." Greg started to lecture them, again.
"How they are in the inside," finished Ken, "It doesn't hurt to
have them look good on the outside, you know. That partner of yours
isn't so bad, you know. But of course, I think you noticed that
because you were staring at her the whole time." As Ken said that,
Greg started to blush a crimson red.
"My partner's not bad at all. She is cute; I have to admit
that. She's kind of a replica of me, instead a girl," replied Nick.
"My partner said that she could really cook. Usually, all the
cooks I've been out with are nothing but blond-headed bimbos, but this
one's cute," responded Ken. (AN: No offense to all the cooks and
blond-headed people. Please don't take it seriously!)
"My partner is the most beautiful 17 year old girl I have ever
seen. Man, that body of hers could kill!" exclaimed Chad.
"What about yours, Darien? Darien?" asked Greg. I wasn't
listening to them right then because I was thinking about Serena. She
has changed a lot, I thought. She has a great body, far as I could
tell, she is funny, charming, playful, and her eyes looked so
innocent. Her hair looked real nice. I can't believe it; I'm
starting to sound like a lovesick puppy! And I also haven't forgotten
my promise.
"Darien, Darien!" I heard yelled Nick into my ear. I turned
towards him.
"Hmm, what?" I asked.
"What are you thinking about, man?"
"Um...nothing."
"Yeah right. What?"
"No one, alright!" Oh, great! Me and my big mouth!
"Who is she?" I knew that I couldn't fool them, so I just
decided that I wouldn't tell them that it wasn't Serena.
"Sorry, you got it all wrong."
"So, finally someone has 'captured Darien's heart'," said Ken.
"You guys gotta shut that mouth of yours, you know? And also
stop butting into my social life," I snapped.
"Well, we don't butt into your social life cause you don't have
one," reminded Nick in his smart aleck voice.
"Just stop with the butting in and matchmaking, ok? I gotta go,
talk to you later." I ran off towards Professor Lee's classroom and
waited for Serena. I was early, so I decided to pick which songs I
were going to sing. As I was thinking I saw Serena walking up to me.
"Hey Darien!" greeted Serena.
"Hey Serena," I said.
"So where are we going to rehearse?"
"At my apartment."
"Your apartment?"
"Yeah. Is that ok with you, or do you have some other place in
mind?"
"No, that's fine."
"Good." We started walking toward the parking lot, and I
noticed her eyes light up as I started to unlock the door to my red
Porsche. (AN: I don't know if Darien's car is really a Porsche, so
deal with me, please?)
"You drive this car?!" exclaimed Serena
"Yeah. You like?" I said.
"Of course I like it! It's so cool!"
"Nice to know you like it, Meatball Head!" I saw her glare at
me. I had to hold back a laugh cause she looked so adorable! After
we drove the short way to my apartment, I parked the car and we went
into my apartment.
"So, umm," stammered Serena.
"Do you want anything to drink?" I asked.
"Sure, thanks!" I went into the kitchen.
"What do you want to drink?"
"Do you have cocoa?"
"Yeah." While I got the cocoa, I saw Serena looking around. I
walked up to her and gave her the drink. "So, what should we sing?"
"Well, I think that for the competition just from our classes,
that we could sing one together, and if we get into the State and
National's, we split up. I heard that there was a men's and women's
competition separately."
"Good idea. For once, Meatball Head has a good idea."
"Thanks a lot. I see you haven't changed also. Always the same
jerk you always were!" (AN: How could she say all those means things
to Darien in the anime and manga? Would you have the wits to say
something like that to the cutest anime and manga guy you have ever
seen? I would probably faint even if he talked to me! My smile is
from ear to ear while I'm daydreaming of kissing Darien.) And so the
famous argument that we hadn't had in 4 years began.
"Well, I wouldn't be a jerk if you had stopped throwing your
test papers and shoes at me!"
"I would have stopped if you had quit calling me Meatball Head
and teasing me!" Serena and I were staring at each other with a
determined and angry look on our faces. But the faces cracked a
second later, and they burst out laughing.
"Haven't done that in a while, eh Meatball Head?"
"Nope." After a while, we stopped laughing. "So, you got any
idea of what we should sing?"
"Well, there are two songs in my head right now, but I can't
pick which one, so I'm letting you pick. Let's see, there's First
Love by Buffy, (AN: No, not Buffy the Vampire Slayer if that's what
you all are thinking!), and there's this other song called Eye on You
which I have no idea who sings it. So, which one?"
"Hmm, let me listen to them."
"Sure." I put in the CD that my friend had made me. First, I
put on First Love, then Eye on You. After they both ended, I stopped
the stereo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, which one do you think?" I heard him ask.
"Well, I like them both, but I think that we should sing First
Love." The real reason I wanted to sing that song was because it
described what I felt for Darien.
"Ok, so let's practice," said Darien. We began to sing and as
we were singing we looked at each other and I got lost in his eyes,
and we edged closer and closer until I could feel his soft, warm
breath on my lips. *What am I doing! * I thought, *Darien and I were
friends since elementary school! We can't just kiss after 2 hours of
finding out that Darien had moved back! And I've got a boyfriend! *
I regretted breaking our near-kiss, but I couldn't do it.
"Um...Darien I gotta go now. Um...thanks for being my partner."
"Huh?" but he was too late because Serena was already out of the
door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally! 6 pages! To me that's a lot! Well, how did I do? Please
e-mail me. I started this story a while ago and was too busy writing
my other fanfics that I forgot about this and now I'm finally done.
Well, I hope you all liked this story. Please read "The Dangers of
Love and Hate." I'm making a whole bunch of poems right now and I
have another fanfic I'm starting, so it's three I'm writing. The
other one is called "The Coupling of Two Pairs" and it's a crossover.
So now I have to say bye-bye!

I knew that I was totally red at that moment. All the girls were

"You're right. I wonder what the project is, though?"
"Ok, take a seat next to your partner." Said Miss H. We sat
down. I looked at who my friends were paired up with. Ami Mizuno was
paired up with a guy with short brown hair with blue eyes. Rei Hino
was paired up with a guy with long brown hair that covered his eyes,
so I guessed it was brown. Lita was also paired with a guy that had
short brown hair with brown eyes. Mina was paired with a guy with
short blond hair, and blue eyes. They're cute, but not as cute as
Darien, I thought. "Ok, in this project, as you know, you will be

"Thank-you so much!"
"Meet me at 4:00 today in front of this room."
"Ok, well, time's up! Time to go!" announced Miss H. We all
said goodbye to our partner and went toward the bus. I sat by Lita,
Ami sat by Mina, and Rei sat by herself.
"You're so lucky, Serena. You got the hunkiest guy in there?
How did you get so lucky?" asked Mina.
"Darien and I knew each other since we were babies, that's why," I
replied.
"Well, my partner's not so bad. He's kind of cute. His name is
Ken," said Lita.
"My partner's name is Chad," responded Rei. Rei had long
purple-black hair that she let flow down freely. Her eyes were the
same color.
"My partner's name is Greg," replied Ami. Ami had blue short

"Alright, I'm head over heels in love with the guy, ok?" I
admitted.
"Tell him, Serena. He might like you back."
"I don't know. It might ruin our friendship and what about
Jonathan? I can't just say 'I've met another guy who I don't even
know if he likes me back, so see you some other time!'"
"Well, you do have a point, but Jonathan's only using you."
"No he isn't! And how would you know?"
"Serena, Darien does care for you."
"Yeah, as a friend."
"No, he really, really cares about you, more than a friend
could. He does like you."
"Yeah right. Where'd you get that from?"
"I saw it in his eyes while he was looking at you."
"Even if he does like me back, I'm still not going to tell him
until he tells me, if he does."
"Ok Serena, it's your decision."
"You're right, it is my decision."
"But you should listen to me, after all, I am Venus, the goddess
of love!" Mina threw her hair over her shoulder and everyone laughed
because we all knew that she was talking about our other identities as

"Hey Darien!" shouted Nick Anderson.
"Hey Nick," I said. "How are you doing?"
"Ok, you?"
"I'm doing ok."
"Hey Darien!" yelled Ken Marlin. Chad Wilkins, and Greg Stevens
were also walking with Ken and walking towards Darien.
"Man, those high school girls are fine!" exclaimed Chad.
"You shouldn't base your dream girl on how she looks on the
outside. What matters is..." Greg started to lecture them, again.
"How they are in the inside," finished Ken, "It doesn't hurt to
have them look good on the outside, you know. That partner of yours
isn't so bad, you know. But of course, I think you noticed that
because you were staring at her the whole time." As Ken said that,
Greg started to blush a crimson red.
"My partner's not bad at all. She is cute; I have to admit
that. She's kind of a replica of me, instead a girl," replied Nick.
"My partner said that she could really cook. Usually, all the
cooks I've been out with are nothing but blond-headed bimbos, but this
one's cute," responded Ken. (AN: No offense to all the cooks and
blond-headed people. Please don't take it seriously!)
"My partner is the most beautiful 17 year old girl I have ever
seen. Man, that body of hers could kill!" exclaimed Chad.
"What about yours, Darien? Darien?" asked Greg. I wasn't
listening to them right then because I was thinking about Serena. She
has changed a lot, I thought. She has a great body, far as I could
tell, she is funny, charming, playful, and her eyes looked so
innocent. Her hair looked real nice. I can't believe it; I'm
starting to sound like a lovesick puppy! And I also haven't forgotten
my promise.
"Darien, Darien!" I heard yelled Nick into my ear. I turned
towards him.
"Hmm, what?" I asked.
"What are you thinking about, man?"
"Um...nothing."
"Yeah right. What?"
"No one, alright!" Oh, great! Me and my big mouth!
"Who is she?" I knew that I couldn't fool them, so I just
decided that I wouldn't tell them that it wasn't Serena.
"Sorry, you got it all wrong."
"So, finally someone has 'captured Darien's heart'," said Ken.
"You guys gotta shut that mouth of yours, you know? And also
stop butting into my social life," I snapped.
"Well, we don't butt into your social life cause you don't have
one," reminded Nick in his smart aleck voice.
"Just stop with the butting in and matchmaking, ok? I gotta go,
talk to you later." I ran off towards Professor Lee's classroom and
waited for Serena. I was early, so I decided to pick which songs I
were going to sing. As I was thinking I saw Serena walking up to me.
"Hey Darien!" greeted Serena.
"Hey Serena," I said.
"So where are we going to rehearse?"
"At my apartment."
"Your apartment?"
"Yeah. Is that ok with you, or do you have some other place in
mind?"
"No, that's fine."
"Good." We started walking toward the parking lot, and I
noticed her eyes light up as I started to unlock the door to my red
Porsche. (AN: I don't know if Darien's car is really a Porsche, so
deal with me, please?)
"You drive this car?!" exclaimed Serena
"Yeah. You like?" I said.
"Of course I like it! It's so cool!"
"Nice to know you like it, Meatball Head!" I saw her glare at
me. I had to hold back a laugh cause she looked so adorable! After
we drove the short way to my apartment, I parked the car and we went
into my apartment.
"So, umm," stammered Serena.
"Do you want anything to drink?" I asked.
"Sure, thanks!" I went into the kitchen.
"What do you want to drink?"
"Do you have cocoa?"
"Yeah." While I got the cocoa, I saw Serena looking around. I
walked up to her and gave her the drink. "So, what should we sing?"
"Well, I think that for the competition just from our classes,
that we could sing one together, and if we get into the State and
National's, we split up. I heard that there was a men's and women's
competition separately."
"Good idea. For once, Meatball Head has a good idea."
"Thanks a lot. I see you haven't changed also. Always the same
jerk you always were!" (AN: How could she say all those means things
to Darien in the anime and manga? Would you have the wits to say
something like that to the cutest anime and manga guy you have ever
seen? I would probably faint even if he talked to me! My smile is
from ear to ear while I'm daydreaming of kissing Darien.) And so the
famous argument that we hadn't had in 4 years began.
"Well, I wouldn't be a jerk if you had stopped throwing your
test papers and shoes at me!"
"I would have stopped if you had quit calling me Meatball Head
and teasing me!" Serena and I were staring at each other with a
determined and angry look on our faces. But the faces cracked a
second later, and they burst out laughing.
"Haven't done that in a while, eh Meatball Head?"
"Nope." After a while, we stopped laughing. "So, you got any
idea of what we should sing?"
"Well, there are two songs in my head right now, but I can't
pick which one, so I'm letting you pick. Let's see, there's First
Love by Buffy, (AN: No, not Buffy the Vampire Slayer if that's what
you all are thinking!), and there's this other song called Eye on You
which I have no idea who sings it. So, which one?"
"Hmm, let me listen to them."
"Sure." I put in the CD that my friend had made me. First, I
put on First Love, then Eye on You. After they both ended, I stopped
the stereo.

Serena's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, which one do you think?" I heard him ask.
"Well, I like them both, but I think that we should sing First
Love." The real reason I wanted to sing that song was because it
described what I felt for Darien.
"Ok, so let's practice," said Darien. We began to sing and as
we were singing we looked at each other and I got lost in his eyes,
and we edged closer and closer until I could feel his soft, warm
breath on my lips. *What am I doing! * I thought, *Darien and I were
friends since elementary school! We can't just kiss after 2 hours of
finding out that Darien had moved back! And I've got a boyfriend! *
I regretted breaking our near-kiss, but I couldn't do it.
"Um...Darien I gotta go now. Um...thanks for being my partner."
"Huh?" but he was too late because Serena was already out of the
door.

Finally! 6 pages! To me that's a lot! Well, how did I do? Please
e-mail me. I started this story a while ago and was too busy writing
my other fanfics that I forgot about this and now I'm finally done.
Well, I hope you all liked this story. Please read "The Dangers of
Love and Hate." I'm making a whole bunch of poems right now and I
have another fanfic I'm starting, so it's three I'm writing. The
other one is called "The Coupling of Two Pairs" and it's a crossover.
So now I have to say bye-bye!
