Sailor Moon

A Different Serena???
Part 1

Serena sat in her room quietly. She was tired of the girls always leaving her alone. Raye was off with Darien some place. She wondered what Darien saw in her, besides her giving him something that Serena never would give him. Actually Darien had been through all the girls for the same reason. Lita was off doing something.... probably finding some guy. Ami had her nose stuck in a book somewhere. Mina was off chasing some guy that reminded her of Andy. Serena sat there thinking about her grades at the end of the semester. She hadn't gotten them yet, but she knew the others thought her grades were failing since they never saw her studying. Serena got up and went in the kitchen to cook her something to eat. No one would eat her cooking since they think only Lita can cook. She looked in the cupboard and in the refrigerator. "Hmmm how about some steamed rice and some vegetables," she said to herself. "I must remember to go shopping again and hide my stuff in my refrigerator." She quickly fixed her meal and sat down to eat it. Just as she was about to put a forkful of food in her mouth Raye and Darien busted in.

"Hey meatball head!!" They said in unison. Serena just ate her food quietly ignoring them.

"Serena?" Raye asked.

"Leave her alone she's eating her instant meal," Darien said mockingly.

"Yeah she can't cook it herself any way." The both laughed while Serena sat there calmly eating her meal. The two got frustrated as they couldn't get her to say something in anger. "What is with you?" Raye asked. Serena didn't even look up at her. Raye got right next to Serena. "Serena you meatball head I'm talking to you. You can't just ignore me." Raye was flinging her arms wildly while Serena continued to eat her meal ignoring Raye. She got up and washed her plate and silver ware off, grabbing a drink out of the fridge. Raye turned red as an apple.

"Serena stop being so annoying to Raye," Darien butted in seeing how Raye was turning into a maniac. Darien walked over to Serena. He looked at her still feeling how he used to feel about her. If only she had let him do what he wanted to do to her, maybe they still would be together. He punched her in the arm that she had her drink in. "Stop it Serena." Serena grabbed her arm feeling the sting. She looked up at him, while she heard Raye laugh.

"Why did you do that Darien?" Serena asked calmly putting down her drink, rubbing her arm.

"Because you're being an annoying little witch!!!" Raye yelled. Darien nodded.

"Yeah I don't see how ignoring you is annoying." Serena balled up her fist in the arm Darien hit. She finally was getting tired of the abuse she endured from these guys. She waited till he started to laugh again not paying any attention to her and she brought her arm up and punched him in his face. She grabbed her drink as he fell to the ground. "The only people who are annoying around here are you guys. I'm going to practice talk to you later." Her hair wisped around her body as she walked away.

Raye looked as Darien fell in shock. Darien couldn't believe the power in Serena's punch as he had fallen. Serena might have broken his nose. Raye ran to his side. "Are you all right?" Darien couldn't say anything he just laid there still in shock. Blood started to drip from his nose. "Serena!!! Come back here!!!! You broke his nose!!!!!" Raye screamed, but it was too late Serena had walked out the door and slammed it shut.

Darien finally started to move about leaning his head back. "Get me some ice Raye," he said weakly. He couldn't believe that Serena had such a punch. It was too late to follow her, but he would send his boys out tomorrow to find out where she goes every day. He was going to get her back for that punch, but he couldn't help smiling either. Serena had finally had some guts to stand against him and Raye. He admired her for that; he also realized that he still loved her.

Serena walked calmly to the bus stop not thinking twice about hitting Darien. "He had deserved it," she thought. She looked at her watch to check to see what time it was. The bus would arrive soon, and she could go on to practice. She looked up and noticed Lita and Amy walk by. They looked at her coldly, and didn't say one word to her. She turned back around and stared at the street in front of her. It seemed to her that after she broke up with Darien and they started to date him, that the other girls had stopped talking to her. Serena had to admit that she still loved Darien, but it was over now and she could never think of him in the same way. The bus drove up and Serena got on. She paid the bus fare and found a spot by herself. She sat there thinking about practice.

Lita slammed her hand on the counter. "I can't believe that little witch hit you!!!!" she said angrily. "I'm going to pound her!!!"

"No Lita, leave her alone. I was asking for it," Darien said. He didn't want them to hurt Serena; she had only done what was right. He had deserved it. If Serena hit one of the others, they would have deserved it too. They were just jealous of the fact that he still loved Serena. He tried hard not to show it, but it always showed.

"Darien!!! You know you need to do something!!! We could just catch her with her back turned and jump her for you. We could beat the crap out of her," Raye said angrily.

"Yeah!!!" chimed Lita and Amy.

"NO YOU WON'T!!!!!" Darien slammed the counter. "You leave her alone or I'll leave you alone." Raye shrunk back and toned down her anger. The others did too. "Now you will not bother Serena. Do I make myself clear?" The all nodded. "Good."

The girls still wanted to do something, but they decided they would tease her about her grades. Serena never did her work so she had to be dumb.

"Now that we have that understanding, I would also like you to be nice to her. All right?" They nodded. Darien loved having this power over the three. "Okay lets eat Lita."

Lita pulled out her rice balls and they all dug in.
