A Rough Day And A Bet
Serena screamed when she noticed what time it was and started running around her room trying to find her books and backpack. As usual she had slept in and was going to be late for school. By the time she found all her books (which were underneath the pile of clothes in the corner of the room) it was already 8:00. She quickly raced down the stairs; and towards the door but she unfortunately tripped along the way and ended up in a heap on the floor. But she was able to regain her posture and ran out the door while her mother was yelling,
''Serena dear don't you want your lunch!?'' Too bad Serena was already half way down the street so she didn't hear what her mother said and just kept going until she was almost at the school doors.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ami looked at the empty seat next to her and shook her head as she thought of what excuse Serena was going to use this time to get out of detention. As she was thinking her other two best friends Mina and Lita came up to her and tapped her on the shoulder.
''Hey Ames,'' greeted Mina. The sound of her name was all that was needed to bring Ami back to reality.
''Hello Mina, Lita how have things been for you two lately?'' She asked.
''Things have been okay I guess.'' Lita replied. Lita's attention turned to Serena's empty seat. ''I see Serena hasn't arrived yet.''
''Nope, not yet I'm afraid.'' Ami answered.
''I wonder what excuse Serena is going to use this time?'' Mina questioned.
''Hey, remember that time when Serena told Miss Haruna that she broke her ankle on the way to school?'' Asked Lita.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/Flashback/*/*/*/*/*/*/
The bell rang as everyone got back into their seats and waited for Miss Haruna to start the lesson. Miss Haruna was just about to tell the class to open their books to page fifty-four when Serena came bursting into the classroom.
''I'm so sorry I'm late Miss Haruna.'' Serena said while panting. ''I'm afraid that on the way to school I broke my ankle while crossing the street and that is why I am late.'' Serena put her hands together like she was praying for Miss Haruna's forgiveness.
''Serena if you really had broken your ankle you wouldn't be able to stand right now.'' She replied. Serena quickly grabbed her ankle and started hopping on one foot while saying ''Ow'' repeatedly.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/End Flashback/*/*/*/*/*/*/
The three of them started to laugh hysterically as they remembered that incident. ''I still can't believe that Serena actually thought she could still pull off the broken ankle excuse even though she was totally caught.'' Mina said between breaths. But that just made them start up all over again. As soon as they had all calmed down a little Ami remembered another time Serena's excuses had gotten her into even more trouble.
''Or remember that one time that Serena actually tried to get out of detention by saying she stayed up all night studying and doing homework?''
/*/*/*/*/*/*/another Flashback/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Again the bell rang and everyone yet again waited patiently for Miss Haruna to start today's ever so boring lesson when once more Serena came barging into the classroom. ''What is the excuse this time Serena?'' Miss Haruna asked impatiently for she was beginning to get really tired of Serena's tardiness.
''Miss Haruna I was up all night doing my homework and studying for today's test that I didn't get to go to sleep until really late at night so I accidentally slept in.'' Serena answered, ''please don't tell me you're still going to send me to the principal's office just because I was up all night trying to achieve my very best?'' Miss Haruna walked right up to Serena and said…
''If you have really learned so much why don't you show the rest of the class your new found knowledge by answering this simple math equation?''
/*/*/*/*/*/End Flashback/*/*/*/*/*/*/
They all couldn't help but start laughing again as they remembered the look on Serena's face when she went up in front of the class and tried to answer y=2x+1. And they also could not forget how angry Miss Haruna looked when she realized that Serena hadn't learned anything at all and how she had literally believed that Serena might of actually learned something besides how much food she could stuff in her mouth. Mina was just about to voice another embarrassing moment in Serena's school life when the bell rang for real. So Mina and Lita quickly went back to their appropriate seats and waited for their friend to come rushing through the door. In fact everyone in the classroom was staring at the door waiting for the blond haired beauty to come rushing in any second. And soon enough just as Miss Haruna was getting ready to write on the board Serena came rushing in and unexpectedly crashed into Miss Haruna on account of the floors were still slippery after the janitor had just washed them. ''Serena? What do you think you are doing!'' Miss Haruna yelled. Serena quickly got off of her and then helped her up.
''I'm really, really sorry Miss Haruna. I didn't mean to crash into you I swear.'' Serena answered.
''I don't care if it was an accident or not the fact is you are still late therefore you now have the joy of having a trip to the office.'' Miss Haruna stated.
''But Miss Haruna you can't send me to the office!'' Protested Serena, ''after all you know how much I enjoy English and how I would hate to miss a minute of it.''
''That's all well and good Serena but this is Math.'' Everyone (including Ami, Lita, and Mina) could not help but giggle as Serena made her way out of the classroom; down the hall and straight to the office.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena walked back into the classroom after having a very loud explanation from the principal about why tardiness is not something to be proud of and went straight to her seat beside Ami. As soon as she sat down she noticed something strange about her friend.
''Why are you smiling like that?'' Serena asked. Ami's smile just got bigger.
''Oh I'm just happy to see you are still in one piece.'' She replied.
''Why would you be happy about something like that?''
''I was sure that after being sent to the office for your fifth time this week the principal would have surly done something worse to you then simply given you a detention.''
''He did do something worse!'' Serena exclaimed.
''Like what?'' Ami asked.
''He was eating a piece of chocolate cake in front of me!'' She whined. Ami sweatdropped.
''Serena, can't you think of anything besides filling your stomach with food?''
''But you don't understand. I didn't have breakfast this morning so I was really hungry.''
''Serena you are unbelievable sometimes.'' Ami said while shaking her head in disbelief.
''Well I guess I at least have lunchtime to look forward to.'' But Serena was out of luck because since she had forgotten her lunch at home she had nothing to eat. And Ami, Lita, Mina, and even Molly wouldn't share their lunches with her.
''Come on you guys! I'm so hungry, can't you give me just a tiny bite?'' She asked. All four of them looked at each other before answering.
''Serena, every time we give you a ''tiny bite'' of our food you always keep asking for more until we finally give in and give you our entire lunches.'' Molly answered.
"So, what's your point?'' All four of them sweatdropped and then ignored her. ''At least my day couldn't possibly get any worse.'' Unfortunately it did. In Gym Serena got hit in the face three times with the volleyball, then in Music she broke Melvin's glasses when she tried to reach the high note, then she got in trouble for sleeping during Social Studies, and she also got in trouble for laughing all through History for no particular reason. So you could imagine that by the time Serena got out of detention she would have just wanted to go home but she remembered that she promised Rei that she would go to her temple after school for a study session. So Serena trudged all the way to Rei's.
''Where have you been Meatball Head?'' Rei asked with no consideration what so ever. ''We were about to start without you.''
''I had a detention Rei.'' Serena retorted.
''So what else is new?'' She questioned.
''Knock it off you two let's just get to work okay?'' Lita interrupted.
''Fine.'' They both said at the same time and then started getting back to studying. Too bad that it only took Serena about ten seconds before she started to complain.
''I don't want to study anymore.''
''Serena will you stop acting like such a cry baby and just get back to looking at your books.'' Rei exclaimed, but as she was picking up Serena's text book something else came falling out of it. ''What's this?'' As soon as Rei picked it up she knew exactly what it was. It was one of Rei's new comic books which Serena had spotted earlier while they all were too busy studying. Luckily, before Rei could react Mina stepped in.
''Serena if your not going to take this study session seriously I suggests you just go home.'' Then they all turned back to what they were doing before. Serena just sat there feeling upset that she had made her friends give up on her when an idea suddenly came to her. She made an evil smirk before speaking.
''Hey guys. I want to make a bet.'' She said. That was all it took to get her friends attention, especially Rei's.
"What kind of bet?" Lita asked.
"I bet you four that none of you could switch your powers with each other for a week without going completely insane.'' Serena answered. The four of them just stared at Serena. They had no clue what the heck she was talking about. Serena noticed this and decided to try and make it a little bit clearer. "What I mean is we switch places with each other when we are the Sailor Scouts. You know like Sailor Mercury becomes Sailor Venus and so on.'' This explanation seemed to help them.
"Will you be part of this bet as well?'' Rei asked.
"Of course, it wouldn't be much fun if I wasn't in it right?'' They all just gave her a really disturbing stare before they answered.
"Well I'm in.'' Lita said.
"Me too.'' Exclaimed Mina.
"I am so there.'' Answered Rei.
"As long as it doesn't get in the way of my studies I'll gladly join in the fun.'' Guess who said that?
''Then it's settled starting tomorrow will decide who gets to be who and then start the bet.'' Serena said. But unknown to them it was going to be a lot harder then it sounded.
