A/N: Wow am I writing these chapters fast! I think that I have just tapped into my creative impulses with this one, kind of like in my other fic Once Upon a Time, which is a Rini/ Elios fic (Serena and Darien are overrated), where I wrote the entire thing in two and a half days. I am not even exaggerating, I called my friend and told her I started writing a fic on Saturday, and at school, I told her I was done, and showed her the last page of it. I also accidentally attached it to a history essay, but my teacher is nice, so she didn't say much when she handed it back to me, and I turned crimson, muttering something like "It's a fan fic I was reading." Being that there was a kiss on that page, I would rather not have my teacher knowing I write about that kind of stuff, even if I am plenty old enough to do so. But I just went way off into a tangent! Please read Once Upon a Time and Dreaming of You, the first of which is a musical with sappy love songs tied in. I also would ask you to read A Diary of Hannah Sunrise, which I guarantee you, is nothing like your typical fan-fic, but I can't update it until I get some reviews, because it takes some time to separate stories.

Rini walked into the palace and sighed, smiling a bit when she saw Elios asleep on a couch in the lounge. She grabbed a blanket and threw it over him, knowing full well that he would sleep through the night comfortably. Even with his hair in disarray, and his outfit wrinkled, he was a welcome sight to her eyes. The image of him like this would be forever burned into her mind, even if she somehow chose Peruru over him. Over the past few days, Rini had grown to love Elios, and think of Peruru as a brother or something. It could all change at any moment, but for now, she felt inclined to lightly touch her lips to Elios' and whisper; "Maybe things will change, but for now, my heart is yours." Then, she backed away and walked to her room. Thinking that she would have died if she hadn't broken up with Alex earlier.
One person, or rather animal knew what had happened, and that was Diana, who had happened to pass the lounge when she saw something happening inside. "Well I'll be..." She wasn't too surprised, but the look Rini had on her face was that of total love. Of course Diana knew that if Peruru stopped being so rude and possessive, he might just win her back. Once again, she was glad that she was not Rini, and therefore did not have to choose between the two more than worthy candidates for her heart.
Elios woke early in the morning, or so he thought, until he saw the clock across the room. "Oh crud!" He jumped up, and ran to his room, half wondering who had put a blanket over him during the night. Hurriedly, he threw on the uniform on his bed, which was presumably complements of Neo-Queen Serenity.
Ten minutes later, he ran outside in the black Juuban uniform, which actually looked good on him. There, waiting for him were Rini and Caira in their pink uniforms, and Peruru in an exact duplicate of his own uniform. Elios realized that he and Peruru could pass for brothers with their current appearances. "I'm late, right?" All three nodded, and he sighed and followed Rini along with the other until a limousine pulled up next to her, with none other than Neo-Queen Serenity in it. "You can't just waltz into a school and sit down, I have to enroll you first, and Rini, you forgot your absence note!" Elios remembered the Queen as a girl quite similar to Rini, and fought back a laugh also remembering the meatball-headed, crybaby Sailor Scout.
They all stepped into the car, and were more than pleased when they were enrolled and just waiting for the bell to ring. Rini directed the three towards the classroom, and left to find her locker. Once she pulled out her books and closed the door to her locker, she realized that there was someone standing next to her. "What do you want Daniel?" Daniel was a popular jock, and he liked Rini quite a lot. "Word is, you broke it off with Alex for another guy. May I ask who that guy is?" She rolled her eyes and passed him, not bothering to answer his question. The bell rang, and Rini ran to her first class, barely making it before her math teacher entered the room. "Hello, hello, I understand that we have some new students, so could they please stand?" Elios was standing beside her, and on her other side was Caira surprisingly, with Peruru sitting behind her, and not Rini. "Hmm..." She made the noise out loud, then blushed, and was glad when no one looked at her. "Please introduce yourselves." Everyone looked at them expectantly, and they just stood there. "Um, I know all of them, and they do not know the ways of our people, so I'll introduce them with permission from you Ma'am?" She nodded, and all three shot looks of thanks at her. "Okay, this is Elios here on my right, and on my left is Caira and Peruru." The three of them sat, and the teacher droned on through the math lesson, leaving Rini almost asleep on her desk. One kid in the back could be heard etching things into his desk, and others were shooting spitballs. None of the three students had any clue of what was going on, so Rini concluded; "This is going to be a long day."
After a rather long tutoring session at lunch, Caira had an understanding of English, and could do a pretty sufficient amount of math. Elios could speak and understand English already, and he could basically do some math, though he blanked at science. Peruru had learned math at home, but the rest was new to him. Rini sighed; "This is pretty hopeless." It would not matter to anyone if they flunked, so why should they try to do something that they didn't even have the capacity for? "Why do you say that?" Caira asked a b it suspiciously. "Well, would it matter to you, or anyone else if you flunked English or Japanese, or if science just wasn't your thing?" They all looked at each other and then shook their heads no, and she said; "That's what I mean, so let's just get up from this table and go play football or something." Another wave of confusion, Peruru bit his lip and asked; "Um, what in the galaxy is football?" Quickly, she explained tackle football, and they ran out to play, although Peruru and Elios were a bit worried that both Rini and Caira might be hurt. "Don't worry about me guys, I play this all the time." She did not add the fact that it pissed her parents off to no end when she did.
Elios turned out being pretty darn good at football, and it bugged Peruru that he seemed to be so smart and so great at sports at the same time. He also seemed to be winning at the game that Rini was making them play (no pun intended). Peruru was still worried about Caira, as she was narrowly missing being tackled. He concluded that this was probably not a great game for girls.
Caira decided pretty quickly that she didn't like this game, especially when a guy crashed into her and sent her flying into the muddy field. Meanwhile, Rini was doing just fine, she had even tackled some guy! She felt her blood almost boil over at the guy and started yelling, and generally throwing a hissy fit.
The guy turned out to be Alex, Rini's ex, and he was puzzled as to why the girl was yelling at him. "Guess you're a newbie huh?" He helped her up, but she was still fuming. She didn't even look at him when Rini walked up and asked what was going on. "I'll tell you what's going on! You're just taking Elios and Peruru for granted, and they both deserve better than you! All because of you, these guys have to suffer until you choose one of them! And I do to, because I have to stay here until you pick the reject, well for being eighteen hundred years old, that's pretty immature of you!" Alex's eyes flicked to Rini, and he saw that her cheeks were bright red. "Wow, you're that old?" The game had stopped, and she said; "No, Caira's just throwing a fit!" He nodded, and stepped back into the tight circle around the two.
Elios ran back to where he saw the circle, and Peruru followed him. "What's going on?" Peruru asked him, and he shrugged. "I don't know." They looked over some shoulders and saw that Caira was yelling at Rini. "...well you know what, it's not fair at all, I want to go home, and that isn't going to happen until you choose one of them, or Elios gets tired of you!" He sighed, and nudged through the crowd, grabbing Caira by the arms, and dragging her away before she attacked Rini. "Caira! What in the world are you doing?" He asked her, and she let him have it too. "I'm just letting out what's been on my mind for the past few days, and I'm wondering, why does she get all the attention, I'm pretty too you know!"
Then he realized what this was all about. "Sure you are, but there's a big difference between you and Rini. Caira, it's not about looks, it's about what is on the inside, and I just don't feel that way about you." Her eyes widened, and he figured that she knew he had understood what she meant. Rini chose to make her way through the people, who were now continuing their game, right when he said that. When Caira saw her, she ran off, and Rini's eyes widened when a voice was heard saying; "Wow, so that's what was bugging her." Alex was there, and Peruru was standing not far away. "Yeah, and who are you?" Elios had never actually met Alex, so he did not quite understand how he knew about what was going on. "I'm Alex, Rini's ex, and she filled me in last night." Elios glanced at her, and she nodded. "I see, well, I'd better go find her now..." Surprisingly, Peruru cut him off. "I'll go get her, she would be embarrassed to see you." He was right of course, so Elios nodded, and Peruru left. "I've got a hunch, but I'd like to ask if I'm crazy first." He glanced at Rini and Alex, and all three said; "Does he like Caira?" That was a unanimous 'Yes'.

I don't know what to think about that chapter. I may actually change it to not include school, because I really like the beginning, it's just the end that's bugging me, so tell me, am I crazy?
