Konichiiwa minna-san! Yup, yet another shortie for me. Well, maybe this one
won't be that short, but it's another new fic anyway. I decided that I
wanted to write a Serenity/? fic because I think I definitely know who she
really likes, but this way people are gonna have to read till the end in
order to find out who she ends up with ^^' so basically it's a total
cliffie till the end, even if it doesn't feel like it. I thought that to
fit Serenity's character, I'd make this a nice, light, airy, shojou
romance. So if you're into that kind of thing, read on, mon ami.

Dear Diary 2-2-04
I guess I should have seen this coming a long time ago, but I didn't. It must have started a while ago, but for me, it all began earlier today at Joey's Groundhog Day party (don't ask me why . . . sometimes I think Joey's just a little strange).
I was talking to Tea during the party and Duke came up to me and asked if we could talk . . .
"Serenity," he said, once we were over in the corner, away from everyone else, "I really like you."
"I like you too, Duke." I said, not exactly getting what he was trying to say.
"No, ah, what I mean is, um," he blushed just a little and started rubbing the back of his neck. "I'd really like it if you'd, ya know, um, go out with me someti-"
"Devlin you nim-rod! You stole my idea! AGAIN!" Tristan came flying out of nowhere and bowled Duke over. They started pushing and shoving eachother. "And what's with that shy little routine? Since when is the great Duke Devlin afraid of rejection!? You're always goin on about how you could snag any girl you want with your eyes closed!"
"Well gee Mr. Sensitive, it just so happens that SOMETIMES it pays off to be humble. But I'm sure you knew that already." Duke replied sarcastically.
Tristan ignored him and looked at me. "Look Serenity, *I'm* the one who really likes you. Devlin only wants to show he can get someone!"
"That is NOT true!"
"I'm the one who stayed with you at the hospital, right? I've been there for ya since I met you!"
"Oh, well, um, I . . ." I stuttered. Like I said, I should have seen this coming, but I never did.
"Anyway Serenity," Tristan started, having momentarily pushed Duke into the groundhog cake, silencing him, "Before Devlin stole my chance, I was gonna ask you something, so I'm just gonna ask you now."
Muffled shouting came from the cake, but Tristan didn't seem to notice. Well actually, I think he did notice, but he didn't really pay much attention.
"Y'see, there's a Valentine's Day dance at Domino High every year, and I want you to go with me." Tristan grabbed both of my hands, and all I could really do was stand there looking like an idiot. "Serenity, will you be my valentine?"
Duke finally pulled his head out of the thick frosting. "You jerk!" he grabbed my hands out of Tristan's. "Serenity, you should be *my* valentine. I was gonna ask you before, but I didn't get the chance."
"What are you talking about Duke? If you'd REALLY wanted to date her, you'd have found a chance before."
"Oh really? Well then why haven't YOU asked her yet?"
"Um . . . well . . . you first!"
Now Duke also looked a little flustered and embarrassed. "Well . . . Joey wouldn't let me, okay? He kept intercepting my phone calls and screening Serenity's mail. It's kinda creepy, really."
"Well uh, that's my excuse too . . . not your fault man."
"Yours either, dude."
All this time I was just kinda standing there. Oh, I wish I wasn't so shy about this sort of thing! But I agree with both of them . . . I didn't know Joey screened my mail . . . creeeeepy . . .
Anyway, Duke and Tristan both looked back at me, and I kinda had to struggle not to laugh and all the brown Groundhog frosting in Duke's hair . . .
"So what do you say Serenity?" Tristan asked.
"Is it gonna be me or this loser?"
"What loser? You?"
"Guys, don't fight!" I hurried to jump between them before they started fighting again.
"Come on Serenity, which one of us do you like? You've gotta choose!"
"Lay off her Devlin! Give the girl some time!" Tristan turned back to me. "How about this Serenity; you don't have to choose yet, but by the valentine's dance, you're gonna have to pick which of us you're going with, okay?"
Valentine's Day is a little less than 2 weeks away. That should be enough time, right? "Okay," I agreed, "and that means you two will stop fighting, right?"
"Can't promise any-"
"Yes," Tristan answered me, shoving Duke out of the way. "We'll stop fighting when we know your choice. Don't feel too rushed Serenity, we both just want you to be happy."
"Tristan, lay off the crap. You just want *you* to be happy. Serenity, I'm the one who really cares about you. So make sure you make a good decision, okay?"
"O-okay, I'll try."
"That's all we can ask," Tristan said. "Now come on, let's get outta here before Joey finds out the cake's ruined!" Tristan grabbed my hand, and pulled me away from Duke and his chocolate-stained hair before Joey found the mashed groundhog cake.
. . . So that's it, I guess. I've got less than two weeks to decide which one of them I'm going to go to the dance with. I really don't know what to do! I mean, I know they both like me, and I like both of them . . . oh man! What am I supposed to do!?

A/n: sooo, there's your setup. Serenity/Tristan, or Serenity/Duke? You'll have to keep on reading to find out!
Btw, in case anyone had trouble with my format, I'm gonna try explaining it here. Each chapter is an entry in Serenity's diary. Where you see the ". . ." indicates where the flashback begins. There's a bit of opening and closing to each chapter, and that's why I divided the flashback with the dots. If that's too confusing, I'll take suggestions. I'll appreciate all feedback! So please review!
