It was around the middle of the day, and so far Serena was having a good one. Mina had came back and the two blondes had a huge chit chat on the way to school, but none of it was about Darien. The last thing on Serena's mind was to tell Mina... of all people... about the incident. She was sure questions were gonna pop up later, or that the rest of the Senshi would tell her. but until then, Serena felt she could really use a friend who didn't pity her right now. A friend who accepted her as the same old goof ball she had always been. The tuff stuff could come later. As usual, she had either slept or doodled half her classes off, and received yet another detention scheduled for Friday, were she would be serving double time (since she skipped the last one). Serena wandered through the halls until she spotted Lita and Amy, who had seemed to have been sticking around each other a lot more lately, just to prove how neutral about the situation they were. They weren't really even talking.. just standing there watching people walk by. Lita caught glimpse of her friend and shifted a little, thinking about their tiny confrontation. Serena let out a big sigh, and walked over to them. "Hey guys," She said in the nicest voice she could. Amy gave a short hello, while Litter looked down. Serena turned her attention to the brown haired girl. "I just wanted to say sorry. My head was all screwed up. I was so unfocused on the world around me, that I misunderstood that you were only trying to help." Lita looked up at her. "Serena... I.." "Hey you know what? Mina's going to meet me today so we can go have fun somewhere! I'd really like if you guys came! You know.. to let Mina know we've missed her in everything." Serena put on a big smile, looking at both her friends. "I can sure make it," Lita offered, "I don't have anything else to do." Amy smiled and agreed she could shrug off her computer, geometry, technology and calculus club classes for one day. "Can I ask you guys a favor...?" "Sure Serena, anything." "Well... do you mind pushing the incident of for a little while. I really don't feel like being questioned by Mina. I would like it better if she found out later." "Sure."
For a moment or so they all talked like old friends, gossiping and goofing. But a serious look came across Serena's face as she looked to see who was standing across the hall, going to her locker. Serena knew she was stalling, waiting for Serena to leave so she could come over and see what was going on. "Hey, why don't we cut this short and postpone it until later huh? Well meet at the soda machine after school. See ya!" She walked off. She decided to give the wench the advantage she wanted. Why not? They were her friends too. Besides, they were all going to hang out later, and this gave her time to see them as much as she could.
"Wassup guys?" Raye walked over, a little unconfident, but still attempted too. She knew that most likely Serena had ran off crying and telling everyone what a big traitor she was, and if she didn't say that, it was probably worse. "Hey Raye" Both greeted their comrade. "Well.. I guess I don't need to have a degree to know what happened yesterday." "Yea," Litter chipped in, "You're one of the reasons it happened. Are you really happy with you're self? Knowing you corrupted an entire relationship between good friends just to get with a guy who might not really even love you?" "I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop meddling in my business, Lita." "Well, I don't need you're appreciation right now. How do you know that what he did to Serena isn't going to happen to you?" "Because he loves me. he actually loves me. He never cared for her! And if he did it was her fault for making his love fade! Serena was a dumb ass for overlooking such a great man. She should feel so stupid for losing something so special. He's mine now, and there's nothing you can do to make me give him up. Were happy, and you can either like it or love it, because we not breaking up for a long time." She turned her head as if she were some high-and-mighty queen, and walked away. Lita and Amy did the same.

Mina was the first to arrive before anyone else, and as soon as they got there they observed Mina's tan. "Well..." Lita started started. "I guess you tried to impress a bunch a guys with a bathing suit, cus I take it you been out in the sun all day!!" "Very funny" Mina put on a sarcastic look. "For you're information, I was trying to tan, but over tanned a little. And... " She put on a big stary face, "You should have SEEN all the hot guys loooking at me in my BEAUTIFUL bathing suit!!" The four all burst in hysterical laughter, before walking down the street. In the middle of all the talking Mina asked "Where's Raye? Of all people you'd invite, you forgot Raye?" There was a slight silence before Amy took cover. "She had to help her grandpa at the shrine. He's getting old, and it's getting harder for him to work all by himself. She said he really needed her today, but said to also drop you a hello. Call her anytime you like." Mina gave it a "oh," and they continued.
Serena must have been to caught up in the talk or to happy to know her friends were still there for her to notice the direction they were heading. It wasn't until they were in front of the door that she stopped and stared in bewilderment. Mina smiled, "I thought the best place to go was the place we used to always hang out at. Whats better that the Arcade!!" She happily hopped inside, only to find she had no followers. She peaked her head back out the door. "What are you guys waiting for? Common! I've got change I'm itchin to spend!! Quarters by the load!!" "Mina, you sure it wouldn't be nicer to just go to the mall? We also hung at the mall," Lita chipped in, knowing Serena didn't have the words to speak right now. "Yeah, but we hung here more. And I wanna say hello to Andrew!! Besides, Serena agrees with me. Her boy toy works here." She pulled Lita in with her, "Common! Let's go play Sailor V!!" Amy stood outside with Serena, who said nothing. Just stared up at the building in front of her. Finally she prepared to go in. Amy grabbed her arm before she took her first step. "You don't have to do this." "Well, got any better ideas? Besides, Minas right. We always hung here. And I'm not gonna run and turn coward (even though thetas a usual thing for me) because he works here. In that case, I might as well not go anywhere in Tokyo, because he's always around. I'm not going to back down from this." She turned and smiled at Amy, "But thanks anyway."
They both walked in the Arcade together.****
