Ok.so this is actually the first fan fiction I ever wrote. I found it
amongst all the disks I seem to have stock-piled. I think you'll be able
to tell it's my first throughout. It's definitely not the best. *sigh* Oh
well. Hope you enjoy it anyway! Standard disclaimer.don't own Sailor Moon
no matter how much I wish I did.
Blame it on the Book
"Hey Andrew! How's business?" The dark haired man walked into the arcade with his physics book in hand.
"Hi Darien. Same as usual. Getting ready to study for your exam tomorrow?" the blonde behind the counter inquired about the book.
"Nah. I've already studied. Just got finished as a matter of fact." Darien sat on a stool by the counter.
Just as he sat down, the door opened once again to allow two girls to enter the arcade.
"I just don't understand it Lita. I don't think I'll ever do better than a C in math." Darien instantly recognized the whining voice of the blonde who always wore pigtail.
"Sure you will Serena. It just takes time. It will come to you eventually. Look on the bright side," the brown haired girl paused.
"How could this possibly have a bright side?" Serena looked at her friend waiting for an answer.
"At least it's not as bad as your last one," Lita's mouth curled into a hopeful smile.
"Let me see that!" Darien snatched the test paper Serena was holding. "Hmm...Another D huh Meatball head?"
"Give that back Darien!" Serena pleaded.
"With as bad as you're doing, you might as well quit while you're just slightly behind, Meatball Head," Darien chuckled as a brown haired guy walked in through the door.
"For the last time, my name is Serena not Meatball Head! Now give that back!" Why is he so mean to me? I just want my paper back! Can't he just leave me alone for once!?
Darien sat back down on his stool and examined the Math test closer; meanwhile, the brown haired guy, Ken, sat down on a stool next to Darien. "This is the easiest stuff in the world! And how could you have missed that?! Even for you, that's pretty bad!" After he finished criticizing her paper, Darien looked at the blonde again. He watched her soft, pink lips
tremble. Then he noticed her beautiful blue eyes were filling with water. He knew that he had hurt her. It wasn't as if he had actually meant to, but he had. The want to apologize to her was strong, but he couldn't do it. Darien Chiba just wasn't the kind of guy to apologize.
"I-I have to go home Lita, bye!" Serena tore out of the arcade just before the first tear fell, of course, she almost tripped at the door.
"You know, you can be a real jerk Darien," Lita grabbed Serena's test and took off. "Serena! Wait!"
"I'd have to agree with Lita on this one Darien," Ken sat leaning against the counter while his hand propped up his chin. All the while, he was staring out the door.
"Oh come on Ken. Just because you like Lita doesn't mean you have to agree with her on everything." Darien rolled his dark blue eyes.
"WHAT!?!" Ken's face was bright red, and his blue eyes became round.
"It's obvious Ken. You agree with Lita so much that you make me sick!"
"That's absolutely ridiculous Darien. I don't know what you're talking about. She's my friend, more of a sister as a matter of fact."
"Oh, is that why you blushed?" The corner of Darien's mouth curled up into a slight smile.
"What about you Darien?" Andrew asked.
"What do you mean 'What about you'?" Darien looked at Andrew suspiciously.
"I saw that smile when you heard Serena's voice." Andrew's mouth stretched into a wide smile.
"Now *that* is ridiculous Andrew."
"If you like her so much, why do you torment her? I don't think that's the way to win her over." Andrew reached across the counter and smacked Darien with a rolled up newspaper to make sure he was still paying attention. His mind seemed to wander all too often lately.
"Ow! I'm listening! Who said I wanted to win anyone over anyway? I never said I liked the little cry baby. Anyway, who could possibly like someone who not only wears meatballs on top of her head but also has them inside her head!?" Darien's downcast eyes discovered his physics book on the counter. "Well, I had better go study. After all, I don't want to end up with a
Serena grade on my test." he stood up to leave.
"That's what I thought. You just proved me right Darien." Andrew's smile grew wider. Both Darien and Ken squinted their eyes in puzzlement at Andrew.
"What are you babbling about now?"
"You do like Serena; you're running away from this conversation."
"I just need to study. That does not mean I'm running away."
"It does when you've already studied Darien." Andrew turned to help a customer and Ken looked away with a huge smile on his face, leaving Darien to stand in the middle of the arcade, turning all shades of red.
