Chapter 7, Hiding the Truth, and Planning
So, so, sorry for the long wait!...brain-freeze... it's still kind of frozen, but I'm working on it!
Updated: April 15th, 2005. I've been sick lately, so I might as well update whilst I'm at home!

Oh, and in this fic, Serena lives in a two story house(small, though). Makes more sense to me.
Serena stomped of towards her house, fuming at that stubborn and stupid Rei.
"Why does she think her lame ideas are the best? It's so obvious that mine are far superior!"
Serena was so angry, she passed her home without noticing, till she finally calmed down, noticed, then retraced her steps.
She slammed the door on her way into the house, and pounded up the stairs.
"Serena, is that you?" Her mother yelled. She was fuming(it runs in the family), as Serena was several minuets late for supper.
Serena gasped.
She can't let her mom see her as Rei! It might be a little odd...
'But, I'd rather spend the night at my own house than at Rei's. I have to find a way to stay here, with out mom finding out who I truly am!' She thought.
She ran to the bathroom and quickly undressed, then hopped into the shower.
'I'll hide out here for now, until I think of a plan,' Serena thought.
Rei had very keen ears, so Serena could hear her mother pounding up the stairs, and walking across the hall. The door cracked open a bit, and Ikuko's voice could be heard.
"Serena, are you all right? It's not like you to skip dinner," Ikuko said, thinking'I know my daughter, and she never passes up food!'
"I'm fine Mom, I just slipped while I was outside and need to clean the mud off of me." Serena replied quietly, so Ikuko wouldn't notice the voice change.
But, she did.
"Serena, honey, what's wrong with your voice? Did you catch a cold or something?" Ikuko worried.
"Um, yes mom, that must be it." Serena silently cursed for nearly being caught.
"Oh, ok dear." Isuko left, going back downstairs to clean up the dinner mess.
Serena waited til she could hear her mother's steps no more, then sighed in relief.
"Ok, obstacle one down. I didn't get caught right away. Now, how can I survive until I am switched back?" She started panicking, but still washed her long black hair.
And she was definitely creeped out by washing Rei's hair.
She finished cleaning 'herself', and turned the water off. She stepped out of the shower, dripping water onto the white tile floor until she grabbed a yellow fluffy towel to wrap around 'herself'.
She redressed. Peeking out of the bathroom, she saw that the coast was clear, so she made a mad dash towards her room.
Inside, she paced around, wondering what to do, thinking(which isn't exactly her strong point).
She could pretend to have a cold, and hide out under the covers, she supposed. But that's no fun!
She was still thinking when the phone rang. She dashed over and picked it up.
"Mooshi-mooshi!" She said into the phone.
"Right. Hello, body snatcher from planet weirdo," the other voice said meanly, yet kind of jokingly.
"Oh, hello, Rei. How fare you?" Serena said sarcastically.
"Yeah, yeah, anyways. We need to make a plan. Our parents will discover that we've switched places if we are not careful. How can we hide this? Obviously they'll wonder why 'I' am at your house while 'you' are at mine." Rei said stonily.
"I don't know what to do...why, are you worried about it?" Serena made fun of her, thoughtSerena too is worried.
"No, but I'm no idiot."
"Coulda' fooled me," Serena muttered.
"Anyway," Rei said louder. "Any plans, ideas, etc.?"
Serena sighed. "Not really. I'm not sure. Maybe we'll have to switch houses until we figure out what is going on."
Rei agreed. "That does seem like the only logical course of action..."
So they agreed to switch places first thing in the morn. They would meet up at the Coffe Bean, and discuss what was going on.
"Oh, call some of the other scouts and tell them to meet us there. Maybe they'll have some idea as to what is going on," Serena told Rei.
"Why me? Never mind. I'm obviously better suited for the job." Rei hung up.
'My, my, is she stuck up!' Serena thought, sticking her tongue out at Rei's reflection in her huge vanity mirror.
Next morning
"Buh-bye mom!" Serena shouted to her mother as she ran out of the house. "I'm meeting up with the gang!"
She just pretended she couldn't her her mother protest.
She ran all the way there, because Rei's body was much more in shape than her previous body.
"Man, does she work out or something?" Serena asked herself, crossing the busy street." Maybe I oughta' do that some time."
She arrived 10 minuets later at the Coffee Bean
. Only Luna and Lita were there(Luna was withher still from the switching...incident).
"Hey, guys!" Serena said happily, forgetting to be Rei's moody self. "Where are Re-I mean Serena and Mina at?"
"Hey, Rei. They're late, I suppose. Just like that meatball head to be late," Luna said with a chuckle, hoping it would anger 'Rei'.
Of course, it worked.
"Hey, I-she's not always late! At least she spends her time to pick out fashionable clothes in the morning...hmph!" Serena retorted, trying not to look as if she cared much.
She sat and ordered a diet soda while waiting for everyone else, not answering the questions that were asked by the others, just waiting for 'Serena' to arrive.
I wish this could have been longer, but...too tired, sick and/or lazy to type more.
Chapters to come: All the scouts meet up and discuss the...problem. Since it is now Sunday(in the story, o' course!), as soon as the day passes it will be Monday. Duh, you say? Yup, Monday means...school time!
