Still don't own Sailor Moon. But not for want of trying. Someday... but for now it's Toei's and a number of other people with more money and power.

Well, end of the school year. A quick summer break and it's back to a school.
Hopefully High School won't be as... trying as before... Somehow I doubt it though.
No, she didn't call.
Not a message, no fevered "We have to start studying. Now Molly!", no passing hello in the hallways.
Actually, I did get a few of those. But she's spending much more time with that group of her's.
And they're good for her. She got 76% on the entrance exams.
Of course, her genius friend aced them, and not a little. And her long haired friend ddn't do as well, but she still passed also. And her priestess friend teased her about scoring so low...
But Serena got a C...
And not even a barely there, skin of her teeth C. An honest to god C.
And not once did she ask me for any help.
Okay, that sounds very very selfish, but... I liked helping her cram. We didn't get to spend much time together as is, what with me working in Mom's shop most afternoons, and her being grounded so often. And her friends didn't celebrate her getting a good score, they just told her she should have done better.
I mean, half of the teaching staff was betting she wouldn't be able to get her name spelled correctly, Mrs Haruna was buckling down for her to have to be held back a year, and her parents were worried she was just going to drop out. For her to pass, and not even by some fluke is... amazing. And they wanted more out of her? It's so frustrating.
Now she's not picking fights with her little brother, she's only late to class on Monday mornings, she's not sleeping during most of them... it's like she's... she's....
I don't know. Growing up maybe.
I don't want her to grow up... I want her to be my Serena again. Not having to worry about Boyfriends, grades, alien invasions... and where she'd spend time with me.
Hey, I'm even depressing to myself!
Things to do tommorrow:
*Buy new pack of cigarettes: I went through this one way to fast, 2 days is unusal. Maybe it's just stress.
*Return books to library: See if Dictionary of Spirits is in this week.
*Send flower basket to Serena: She deserves it.
