Tranquility: Chapter Three
By Jewel of Venus
@-----
Sere stood outside her new homeroom and nervously waited for the principal to motion her in. She gave herself a once over, smoothing her new uniform skirt and making sure her long blonde hair was securely pulled back at the nape of her neck. Quickly, she pulled a thin white ribbon out of her book bag and tied it in a bow over the rubber band that was holding her hair back. She finished just as the principal opened the door and asked her to step inside.
"Class, we have a new student." she heard the teacher say. "Her name is Tsukino Serenity." Sere heard a couple of kids giggle when they heard her name. She looked down at her feet and willed herself not to cry. "Tsukino-san, you may sit there, next to Aino-san." Sere made her way to her desk, sat down and looked to the front, where the teacher was beginning the lesson.
@-----
"Hey, you're Serenity, ne? Welcome to Juuban High!" Sere looked up from her lunch and saw a smiling blonde in front of her, the girl she sat next to in class.
"Hello, Aino-san..."
"Oh, just call me Mina. Why are you eating by yourself? Didn't anyone offer to sit with you?" Sere blushed.
"Well, I..."
"NO?! Well, you can sit with us, ok? Come on!" Sere found herself being dragged towards a group of girls sitting a little ways away.
"Mina..."
Mina turned back and smiled.
"Don't worry, they're nice. Hey guys!" Mina waved as they walked up.
"Hey, Mina-chan, who's your friend?"
"Minna, this is Serenity!" Sere looked down shyly.
"You can call me Sere." she said quietly.
"Hello, I am Mizuno Ami." the first girl said. She had short blue hair and looked very smart.
"I'm Lita." Lita was tall and boyish, and her brown hair was pulled up into a ponytail. A third girl stood up and bowed. She had short, wavy, blond-brown hair, green eyes, and glasses.
"Ohaiyo, Serenity-san. I am Fuu." she said.
Sere smiled shyly at them all.
"I am pleased to meet all of you." Mina sat down next to her and began gossiping. Sere was sure she would fit in here. Mina's voice rose as she talked.
"Did anyone see Trent in PE? He looked SO HOT..."
@-----
"Man, I don't want to go home!" Mina sighed.
"How come?" Sere asked curiously.
"Cause when I get home, I have to study for the STUPID French exam and I don't have a clue about this passe compose stuff!" Sere raised her eyebrows.
"I took French I last year. We could go to my place and I'll explain it all..." Mina's eyes grew wide.
"Really?! What are we waiting for?! Let's get a move on!"
Both of the girls set off at a run, heading for Sere's new home.
@-----
"Ok, so tell me how many parts the passe compose has and what they are."
Mina bit her lip before answering.
"There are two parts. The aux--auxiliary verb and the...past participle!"
"Good," Sere encouraged. "Now what are the two auxiliary verbs?"
"Umm...ah...avoir and...etre!"
"Great!" Sere heard the door open. "Hi Dare!" she called.
"Hey, Bunny. Umm...who's your friend?" Darien asked as he walked in. Sere giggled. Mina looked like she was in a trance.
"This is Mina. Mina this is Darien, my..." she raised an eyebrow at Darien. she asked silently. He smiled.
"I'm her roommate." he said. He then turned to Sere. "So, what's for dinner?"
"Oh, am I you maid, that I should cook all meals for you?" she teased.
"Fine! Just be that way!" Darien stormed into the kitchen, then poked his head back in. "I'll order Chinese. That ok with you?"
"Sounds fine. Order for Mina, too, will you?"
"Kay!" Darien pulled his head back into the
kitchen and Sere could hear him flipping through the phone book.
"Wow..." Mina whispered. Sere giggled, which broke Mina out of her trance and caused her to giggle. Soon both of them were laughing out of control, and trying to stop at the same time.
"We'll never finish studying at this rate!" Sere gasped between laughs.
"Oh, well!" Mina shrieked, bringing on another onslaught of giggling. After they quieted down a bit, Mina asked Sere if she was doing anything on Saturday.
"Not that I know of." Sere replied. "Why?"
"Well," Mina began, "My family is putting up an American exchange student who is fluent in Japanese. She's flying in on Saturday afternoon. The whole group's coming. Why don't you come, too?" Sere smiled at Mina.
"I'd love to come, thanks. Now, back to French!"
Mina groaned loudly, but willingly opened her book again.
"There are only two verbs that can be used as a past participle with etre..."
@-----
Sere, Mina, Lita, Ami, and Fuu were standing at a gate in Tokyo International Airport with a sign that said "Welcome Hikarino Seishi!" and watched the passengers disembark from the plane. Finally, the last few passengers came out, including a girl dressed in dark blue jeans, black sandals, and a black shirt. Her hair was black as well; short, straight, and choppy. A few strands of hair hung down in her face. She saw the sign the girls were holding and headed over.
"Are any of you, um..." she looked at a piece of paper she held in her hands. "Uh, Aino Minako?" When she looked up, Sere gasped. This girl had the most amazing ice blue eyes... Mina stepped forward.
"You must be Hikarino Seishi." The girl nodded.
"Well, considering I obviously know your name and you're holding a sign with MY name on it, I'd say you're right!" They all giggled a bit. Mina shook hands with Seishi and introduced everyone.
"Well, this is Lita and Fuu. The girl with all the books is Ami, and Sere," Mina grinned, "Has been in this group only two days more that you."
"It's good to know I'm not the only new face."
Sere felt her stomach growl and quickly spoke up.
"Is any one else hungry?."
"I'm starved!" Seishi exclaimed. "I swear they get airplane food at a toxic waste dump."
"All up for pizza at Ami's, say aye!" Mina shouted. Her proposal was met with cheers, and they all headed off to baggage claim, which would be followed by a pizza party at Ami's house. Sere was happy. Only three days, and she was surrounded by friends. Maybe life wasn't so bad after all.

WOW! A lot can happen in a chapter, can't it. As a note to all Japanese ignorant people, here's a list of words I've used or will use, and their meanings.
Ohaiyo - good morning
Ja ne - See ya
ne? - right?
-san - miss (That's the only definition I know.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but basically,
if someone says Aino-san, that means Miss Aino.)
-chan - term of endearment (added onto name e.g. Ami-chan)
hai - yes
minna - everyone/everybody
arigato - thanks
gomen ne - sorry
baka - idiot
Ok, that's all I can think of for that. for your
info, Hikarino Seishi means "Tranquility of (the?) light". E-mail me! Please! Serenitys_Star@dbzmail.com! I REALLY like e-mails! (hint hint! ^-~)
Ja ne, minna!
