Hey there! I'm back with another one. This is a Darien/Serena (Mamoru/Usagi) fic. There will probably not be any Sailor Scout/Tux Mask scenes because I suck at writing action like that, so I hope you all won't mind. I don't think I'll make it a lemon, but I'm not sure because the Darien/Serena couple is one that I like to keep clean most of the time. It just feels wrong writing lemons about a 16 vs. 20 some-odd year old. It's some moral thing I have, I suppose. Well let's be on with it, shall we?

Disclaimer: I don't own any part of the Sailor Moon series or any of the series spawned off of that. Ok?

"RIIIIIIIIIING!" The evil alarm clock screamed at Serena in the last moments of its life before it was thrown against the wall. "I just hate Monday's!" She grumbled, and got out of bed.

"Why do they have to exist?" She complained all the way to the bathroom where she started the water for her shower, still half asleep. She then went to the sink to brush her teeth while the water warmed up.

"Monday's don't have a purpose. They just exist to piss me off!" She threw her toothbrush into its cup after her teeth were brushed and went back to the shower. The water was warm now.

After her long, blond hair was washed, she exited the shower and went back to her room to get dressed for school. "We never do anything on Monday's anyway!" She stormed out of her room after she was dressed and went downstairs to grab her lunch and start her morning marathon to school.

"Hi Mom, Bye Mom!" She said as she grabbed her lunch and sprinted out the door. "But Serena-" Her mother started to say, but was cut off by the door slamming. "-you're early this morning..." She finished flatly. "Oh well. Maybe she'll make it to Ms. Haruna's class on time today. The last thing that girl needs is another detention!" She said as she began to clean up the kitchen from making breakfast and Serena and Sammy's lunches.

As Serena raced down the street, avoiding the various cracks and pushed up parts of the sidewalk, she was having an unusually luck time at not tripping over anything. 'Wow,' She smiled to herself. 'Not one klutz attack this morning! That's a record. Maybe this Monday won't be so bad after all.' (AN: Little did she know... taps fingers evilly Bwahaha!)

POV swap. Darien's POV

"RIIIIIIING!" The evil alarm clock screamed at Darien in the last moments of its life before being thrown against the wall. "...I hate Monday's!" He grumbled as he got out of bed and went to the shower.

He looked at the clock on the wall in the bathroom. "Oh shit! I'm late!" He had to rush around to be ready in time.

FLASHBACK (for Darien) to a few days before

"Mr. Shields," The Juuban principal spoke to Darien. "Ms. Haruna will be gone for two months. In this time, the school is asking you to take over."

"May I ask why she will be gone for so long?" Darien spoke with mild distained. He knew this was Serena's school, and that Ms. Haruna was Serena's teacher, and as much as he hated to admit it, the prospect of having Serena for 7 hours a day for 6 days a week, excited him. He loved their little arguments and squabbles and thought, against his will, that having her for that long would be the most fun he's had in a long time. (AN: Or so he thought...)

"Her father died. Her and her siblings have to go to the estate to divide everything. She has 7 of them, so it's going to take a while. It may even take longer than 2 months." The principal had said. "Here." He handed Darien a little slip of paper that had a time and a number on it. "Report to the room number listed below at 8:00 sharp." He then stood up, signifying that their conversation was over and that Darien could leave. Darien took the hint and stood up as well. He offered his hand. "Thank you sir. I will take over her class and teach it to the best of my abilities." The principal shook his hand. "I expect nothing less."

End FLASHBACK

Darien showered quicker than he ever had before and styled his hair messily, as it was the quickest style to do that still looked decent.

He dressed faster than he ever had before and bolted out the door. The clock read 7:45 and takes anyone from that side of town at least 20 minutes to walk there. So he ran.

POV swap. Serena's POV

By this time, Serena had realized after running by the tec. store that she was a tad early. She actually had the time to walk to school for once, so she did.

As she passed her favourite building, the Rose Water apartment complex, she slowed down even more to take in the building's beauty. She looked at it over the sidewall. The building was tall enough, so she didn't have to be right in front of it too see it. "God, I wish I could live here..." She thought out loud, unaware of the danger that fast approached her.

She began to walk on again slowly, turning her neck to look at the building for as long as she could, when all of a sudden "WHAM!" She was on the ground with something heavy on top of her. "Ah! Get off!" She screamed, trying to push the object off of her. "I'm trying to!" The object responded with an all-too-familiar voice. She stopped struggling and the horror in her mind was confirmed. The object on top of her was none other than Darien Shields.

"Darien?!" She asked, extremely confused as he finally managed to get off of her. "What the hell are you doing out this early? Where are you going so fast?"

"The same place you should be going, Meatball Head. We're both late." He responded, now irritated. She shook her head, triumphantly. "I'm actually not late for a change, loser. And why are you going to Juuban High?"

"You'll figure that out later, Meatball Head. And I hate to break it to you, but while you were staring at my apartment complex, you took too much time and became late. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get there by 8. See ya." And with that he took off again in the direction of Juuban High.

"What?" She called after him. "I'm not late!"

"Look at your watch!" He called back, and disappeared from sight.

She looked at her watch, sure it would say something like 7:45 which would give her 15 minutes for a 10 minute walk. Her watch said 7:55. "Shit!" And she, too, took off down the road towards Juuban High.

Heh! This is the start for a possibly funny fic. I hope you all enjoyed it. And am I spelling the name of Serena's school right? I don't remember. R&R and tell me, would you?

Love
