Mat walked into the back room of the arcade. "Hey Andrew" he called. Andrew peeked in. "Hey Mat. Where've you been?" he asked walking in. Mat shrugged. "Some girl ran into me…little human fender bender." he explained. Andrew nodded. "Interesting. Who was she?" he asked. Mat looked at Andrew. "I don't know her name…she's in my math class at school though…and she hangs out with meatball head all the time." he said. Andrew laughed. "Oh. Mandy Kino." he replied. Mat nodded thoughtfully. Andrew watched Mat, then grinned. "Do you like her?" he asked. Mat blinked, looking at Andrew. "Andrew I don't even know her!" he exclaimed. Andrew laughed. "So? You'll get to know her. Like you said, she's here with Serena all the time." he told him. Mat rolled his eyes, whacking Andrew over the head playfully.

"Who is he?" Serena questioned for the umpteenth time. Mandy rolled her eyes. "If I tell you, you will try to play match maker. I know you Serena Tsukino!" she exclaimed laughing. Serena made a puppy dog face. "Pllllleeeease? You gotta tell me! I'm your best friend!" she exclaimed. She started the waterworks. Andrew looked up from wiping the counters. "Mandy! Please stop Serena from flooding the place again!" he begged playfully. Mandy grinned, looking at Serena. Serena stopped, making a face at Andrew. Mandy sighed. "fine…I'll tell you." she said. She looked around, then whispered to Serena. "Mat Konnai from our math class." she admitted. Serena was about to squeal, and Mandy knew it. She clamped her hand over her best friend's mouth. "Shhh!" she exclaimed.

Serena giggled, pulling Mandy's hand away. "I never thought I'd see the day when Mandy Kino got a crush." she laughed. Mandy sweatdropped. "Wait till Lita finds out!" she exclaimed. "No no no! Lita can't know!" Mandy said. Serena blinked. "Why not?" she asked. Mandy looked at her. "Cuz she doesn't want me dating…because of the problems she had with her boyfriend. I swear sometimes she acts like she's the mom, when we are the same age." Mandy said sighing. Serena nodded. "Well, we can change that. As soon as you are happily with your new boyfriend, Lita can't tell you not to date!" she exclaimed. Mandy sweatdropped. "Serena, what makes you so sure that he would like me?" she asked. Serena snorted. "Everybody likes you!" she said. Mandy blushed. "That's not true.." she said. "Yea right!" Serena laughed. Mat looked over at Serena. "Can you be any louder meatball head?" he asked. Mandy and Serena whipped around to face him. Mandy went wide eyed. Serena snorted. "What are you doing here?" she asked. Mat raised an eyebrow. "I work here." he reminded her. "Oh..right" she said sweatdropping. Mat looked at Mandy. "So this is your friend?" he asked. Mandy nodded. Mat smiled. "she's usually the one that's always late, am I right?" he asked laughing. Mandy giggled. Serena sweatdropped, looking at him dully. "Oh get a life. Do you watch every girl that walks in here?" she asked. Mat shook his head. "Nah. Just the interesting ones." he said. He smiled at Mandy, then walked off. Mandy blinked watching him go. Serena sweatdropped. "Of all guys, the annoying one was the one you had to pick?" she asked. Mandy blinked. "Huh?" Serena looked at her. "He teases me at school." she said. Mandy rolled her eyes. "I'm sure you do the same to him." she said. Serena rolled her eyes. "You're supposed to be on my side!" she giggled. Mandy stood up. "I am.." she said. Serena stood up and walked out of the arcade, with Mandy following. Mat watched them silently, thinking.
