One very early morning, Serena's mom came to wake her up. Her door was still closed so her mother knocked on the door and said " Serena it's time to wake up". She heard no answer so she decided to go into Serena's room. Over there she found Serena still asleep on her bed. So this time she decided that it was best if she just poured extremely cold water on Serena's head. Just like the last time she did that, her daughter jumped out of bed and has awakened instantly. Her mom reminded her that she was late for another meeting at Ray's temple. She dashed out of her room, took a quick shower, ate her breakfast faster than usual, and dashed out of her house.

She walked many blocks, passed by many houses, and crossed many streets. She just turned a corner and bumped into someone very familiar. He insulted her like usual, but she didn't have time to say her usual share of comments. She just kept running and finally made it to Ray's temple one hour late. Just then, Ray was about to walk down the temple stairs.

When the others saw Serena, they didn't want to say anything because they knew that Ray was going to do their share of complaining for them. They knew that because the whole hour that Serena didn't show up, Ray was already complaining. Ray walked down the stairs followed by the others. When she was about half way there, she said "Serena! Why are you so irresponsible? You should've been here an hour ago! What happened? I can't believe that you are our leader. Aren't leaders supposed to show responsibility?" When Ray was finally finished, Serena just stared at them teary eyed and ran back home. When ray saw Serena running away She continued by yelling "Yeah Serena just run away, just go home. Maybe even fall on your face on your way there, you klutz."

Meanwhile, back at the top of the stairs, Lita said, "Ray has really done it this time. I mean just to think that she would actually yell at our best friend." " It's not like we couldn't have stopped her right?" sighed Mina. "We should've stood up for her maybe even stopped her before she gone too far" said a concerned Amy. "You're right," said Mina and Lita. "Idea", said Amy, " Maybe we could go cheer her up." " Great idea! Why don't we go when Rays not around", said Mina. Them they all said " Ok!"

            'Why is Ray so cranky today? Usually she wouldn't say that many things right to my face. Oh well. I'll find a way to prove to them that I'm not irresponsible and that I have leadership abilities. Just some how I wish that it'd pop up in my faaaaacccceeeeee! Hmm… what's this? Looks like an ad. It's about joining the track team at school. I never knew that they even had a track team!? Wait a minute… I know… I'll join the track team. That'll prove that I'm not a klutz, an irresponsible person, and that I have loads of leadership skills.'

             "Hey Serena! Why are you back so soon?" questioned her mother. "No reason" said Serena as she walked up the stairs to her room. She closed the door and lay on her bed. "Serena, I got some notice today that your school starts tomorrow instead of the day after tomorrow" said her mom. "What!!!!!!" said Serena, "Why didn't they give a notice until now?" Her mom said, "I really don't know?"

 Later, they heard a knock on the front door. Her mother went to go get it. "Oh! What a lovely surprise to see you all! Would you like to come in?" said Serena's mom. They all said, "Sure, thanks very much." They all went upstairs to Serena's room, knocked, and said, "Hey Serena! May we come in?" Serena put a lot of thought into what they're saying until it finally registered into her mind and she said, "Ok."

When they went in, they all went in and found Serena lying on her bed. They said in unison, "We're sorry that we didn't stand up for you. Will you ever forgive us?" Serena thought long and hard about her decision. Then she said, "Is there anything else you would like to say?" "Me first," said Mina, " I'm so sorry that, as your best friend, I didn't stand up for you." "Me next," said Amy, " I'm also really sorry about that. I should've stood up for you even though Ray might not hear  what I say." " Now it's my turn," said Lita, " Ditto about the sorry and that I didn't stand up for you. I don't know what's up with Ray today." "Hmm… I'll forgive you all", said Serena. Then Mina said, " Why don't we all go get some ice cream now since it's our last day of having no school." " Great idea!" said Serena. Then they left for ice cream.
