Here's number 4. I didn't want to make this that long of a story, but I can't write short fics. I've tried and failed at it. It would either end up really damn long or all rushed into a one-part story and end up all crappie. I'm sorry to those of you who mind reading multi-chapter fics. I really don't like doing it myself. I hate trying to start reading a 19-chapter fic and whatnot, so I try not to write fics that long. You know. It's a lead-by-example thing. Anyway, here's the fic.

Disclaimer: I don't own it. You all know this.

Some time later

So there she was, sitting at her usual desk, staring off into outer space as Darien stole glances at her once in a while.

He sighed a sigh that normally wouldn't have been loud, but for the lack of people in the room, it seemed that way. Serena was snapped out of the little world she was in.

She turned her head quickly to him. "Don't do that!"

He looked up at her from his desk as if he had forgotten she was there. "Don't do what?" He said plainly.

"Make that noise." She said pointedly, as if he should have known what she meant.

"What noise should is appropriate then for someone who is being forced to be stuck in the same room with a vacant-minded space cadet?" He said back just as pointedly.

She scoffed. "Stuck here? Stuck here! Who made who come here on a Saturday? And what gives you the right to call me a space cadet? I don't understand why they even let a moron like you substitute here!"

"Moron like me?" He stood up and walked towards her, towering over her desk, looking down at her. "I don't understand how they let a moron like you even attend school here!"

She stood up as well, glaring back at him. Their noses were almost touching. "Jerk!" She screamed at him. "Meatball Head!" He screamed back.

"Sit." He said to her dangerously, his tone calming greatly. "You first." She said back, just as calm.

"Have you forgotten who I am, Ms. Tsukino?" He moved closer to her face, startling her. She moved back in response, her expression changing from anger to surprise. "Wh- what do you mean?"

"As far as you're concerned, I am your teacher, and you will treat me as such. Now sit down."

Suddenly, the lunch bell rang. Serena's stomach responded on command, emitting a loud growl.

The both looked to her stomach. She blushed and sat down, glancing up at him. He smirked almost unnoticeably. "I take it that means you're hungry?"

She nodded, still embarrassed.

"Well I guess you can eat then." He said, assuming she had brought her lunch.

"Um…" She laughed a little. "Remember when I was reading earlier?" She tried to say as innocently as possible, but he already knew what was coming.

"You ate it?" He said monotone. She nodded.

"Well then let's go to the cafeteria and see if they have anything there." He said, signaling for her to get up and follow him. He headed towards the door.

(AN: I'm kind of assuming Juuban a cafeteria and not a court or something. The HS I went to was kind of poor, so we just had a cafeteria. I'm just entering a bit of my life in here, so there you go…. stops rambling o.o')

She got up and headed to the door as well, following not to closely behind him.

Darien was just about out the door when he remembered that the doors lock themselves automatically from the outside and decided having his keys to get back in would be a good thing. 'Damn it…' He mentally smacked himself has he turned around, forgetting Serena was behind him.

She didn't know he had turned around until he ran into her. She began to stumble backwards. She clenched her eyes shut, waiting for the impact, but it never came. Instead there was a strong arm holding her up.

He looked down at her, with her eyes clenched, and wondered if he should let her fall to suit what she seemed to be expecting. "You can open your eyes, Meatball Head." He not-too-gracefully called her.

Her eyes shot open and she perked up, not noticing he still hadn't let go of her, and got in his face. "Can you just give it a rest for 5 minutes? Does my hair really bother you that damn badly?"

He noticed her proximity to him and mentally groaned. He could smell her perfume; cherries and vanilla. He let her go abruptly, nearly knocking her over again.

She stumbled back again, this time catching her balance. "Hey! What's the big idea?"

Darien sat at a nearby table in obvious mental discomfort. "Go and see if there's anything here. I'll wait."

She pouted at him. "You're not coming with me?"

"No."
"Why?" She whined.

"Because. You're the one who's hungry, not me."

"Well…"

"Well what?"

"It's scary in there…"

He gave her a look. "Its either go and see what they have in there or come back to the classroom with me. Take your pick."

She went for the cafeteria.

Sorry so late. Busy, busy life I have. P
