After a long battle with evil quizzes and bad report cards I'm finally
back with a new chapter.
Enjoy!

Disclaimer: By now you should know that I don't own sailor moon.
Serena groaned as she lifted her textbooks off of the table.

"Whoever thought of giving out books on the first day of school should
be crucified!"

!!!THUD!!!

"Alright how many times can this happen to me in one day?"

Serena questioned from the ground before looking at her newest victim.
The girl was kneeling on the floor, picking up papers and gathering
Serena's books when she decided to speak.

"I'm really sorry about bumping into you. I was trying to find my ride.
I'm Raye Winston. Nice to meet you..."

"Serena, Serena Davis"

"Nice meeting you Serena. It looks like you've got a handful there.
Need some help?"

"Yeah, that would be great!"

Walking to Serena's car, the two girls made small talk until Raye
started looking around and fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.
Noticing Raye's distraction, Serena spoke.

"So, your ride's not going to show up is it?"

Raye realized Serena had caught on and started to explain.

"I guess he's not. My boyfriend and I had a fight last night but I
figured he'd get over it. It's alright though; I can just take the
bus."

"Oh no you won't. I'll give you a ride home; we just have to wait for
my brother. Take the bus home, sheesh."

"Hey Serena?"

"Yeah Raye?"

"Thanks."

"No problem. Hey, there's Chad"

Chad's jaw nearly dropped when he saw his sister hanging out with the
beautiful ebony haired girl from the store. She was dressed in a tight
fitting pair of shorts and a white tank top. She had a black dickies
bag hanging from her shoulder with two patches. One baring the word
'Princess' and the other being a flame border. Tugging at his collar,
Chad made his way down the steps and over to the car.

"Hey Chad. This is my friend Raye. We're giving her a ride home so jump
in the back and we'll be on our way." Serena said while getting into
the car.

Focusing on the fiery princess, Chad shook her hand and introduced
himself.

"Hi, I'm Chad Davis."

"Raye Winston"

Becoming impatient, Serena honked the horn taking the two out of their
trance.

"Yada yada yada, I thought we were past introductions by now. And
what's with the starry eyes? Either kiss already or get in the car."

The two got in the car very much red from what Serena had said.
Starting car and backing out of the parking space, the three were on
their way to Raye's house.
"Raye, why do you live in Pasadena but go to school in Alhambra?"
Serena asked still admiring the enormity of the residence.

"When I was little my grandmother took care of me since my parents
we're always working out of the country, so I started going to school
close to where she lived in Alhambra. Make yourselves comfortable for
now. I'll be right back. I just have to make a quick phone call."

Serena and Chad sat on the couch talking quietly to each other when
they heard a car pull into the driveway. Getting up they walked over
to the window and noticed that not one but two cars had pulled up into
the long driveway and people were getting out of them. Just then Raye
came into the room.

"I just remembered that the guys have band practice today. You're
welcomed to stay if you want, I'm sure they won't mind."
"Well, if they don't mind then I don't mind. Do you?" Serena said
looking at Chad.

"I don't mind. I'll get to check out the competition." Said a grinning
Chad.

"You're in a band?" Raye questioned.

"I used to be, but who knows maybe one day..." Chad said following Raye
and Serena out to the garage.
Walking outside, a group of eight people could be seen sitting in the
grass beside a tree. A guy amongst the group could be seen and heard
playing a soft tune on his acoustic guitar. As the three moved closer
to the teens, the guy stopped playing and looked up to see Raye with
two other people.

"Hey guys. This is Serena Davis and that's Chad Davis. They're new to
AHS. Serena, Chad, that's Andrew Foster, Mina Shaw, Lita Brewster, Amy
Ryan, Greg Armstrong, Beryl Drake, Ken Richards, and Darien Shields. I
told them that they could stay and check out the band. It's cool
right?"

"Yeah totally, we need a bigger audience than these picky chicks over
here" Ken said referring to the girls.

SMACK

Still recovering from a slap, provided by Lita, Ken took the hand that
Andrew had held out and got up. While Ken, Darien and Andrew made
they're way to their spots, the rest of the groups sat on the couches
in the garage. Andrew tuned his bass and Darien tuned his guitar while
ken adjusted his drums. The guys played a few cover songs first and
then played only the music for their own songs. Half an hour later,
they took a break and Chad asked a question.

"Have you guys ever thought of having a chick in your band?"

"We had a girl in the band and she had a lineup of songs to sing but
after awhile she couldn't sing well anymore. She just got to cocky."
Andrew said.

"Well, do you still have the songs?"

"Yeah, we do. Why?" Darien said.

By now everyone had wanted to know where Chad was going with this.

"Serena, you've got a great voice. You could do a lot for this band."

"Hey man, that was harsh. We're not that bad, are we?" Ken questioned.

"Put a lid on it Ken. Can she really sing that well?" Darien asked
Chad.

"Better than you can imagine."

"Alright. Learn these and come to practice tomorrow." Andrew said
handing a confused Serena the music sheets with the lyrics.

"Well we better get going. See you guys tomorrow then." Serena said
pulling Chad towards the car.

Once in the car Serena sat at the wheel trying to figure out what had
just happened.

"Chad, what just happened in there?"

"I got you into band that's what happened"
