Anarchy at its Best

Serena is fourteen in my story. I guess you could say it takes place in the first season. I'll try to make sure that most of the people are in character. There will be ironies to almost all of the characters, so stay tuned. This is my attempt at humor, romance, and action. There will definitely be more romance and action in later chapters, I promise you. Naoko Takeuchi owns Sailor Moon, but this story is all mine! Enjoy!

"Serena, honey! You're going to be late for school!"

"Ah! It's already 7:00!" Serena cried, "Miss H is gonna have a fit! Why didn't you wake me up earlier!"

"I tried dear, but you said you were already up," Ikuko explained.

Luna sighed, "Another morning, a new day, the same Serena, and her wonderful habits."

Serena ran off heading to Juuban High School. Only thoughts of how she shouldn't have eaten that last large strawberry sundae with extra whipped cream, fudgey chocolate sauce, luscious caramel sauce, with mounds of chocolate shots, consumed her mind.

"Raye is going to be furious with me, if I get a detention, and are late for the scout meeting. This is my eighth time this week! Why does a girl have to suffer just to get her beauty sleep?"

A few feet away from Serena there was a huge crack in the sidewalk.

Suddenly, she started running backwards at an inhuman rate.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Somewhere in the heavens)

In the heavens, at the time, the gods of Misfortune, Fate, and Good Luck were having their routinelyspats on Serena.

Misfortune used the brand new remote that Sailor Pluto gave him. Instead of it stopping time, it made time go backwards. Serena was about 15 feet away from where she just was and wouldn't stop running backwards.

"Look at what you did Misfortune! Even with my abilities to inflict good luck, it still can't affect you're stupid mistake! Now switch it to Pause!"

"Fine, then will you stop bugging me? You're such a nag!" Misfortune screeched a little quickly.

"Did you just call me a fag? Now I'm gonna have to kick some major god-ass!" Good Luck really was pissed off now.

Fate took Sailor Pluto's remote and said, "Your both incompetent!" and pressed the Pause button.

Finally, Serena came to a stop from running abnormally fast the way she came. Now it was time to make their bets.

"I bet you twenty-four bucks that that clumsy girl is going to trip, and be embarrassed, scrape her knee, and land on her weird little obnoxious cat of hers," Misfortune said.

"Well, as the goddess of Good Luck, I bet you $25 that Serena won't fall and will miraculously notice the crack, and not make a fool out of herself."

"If you two would just stop arguing…," Fate started but was interrupted.

Misfortune and Good Luck were in a heated altercation.

"Give me a break, the girl has it coming!"

"Don't you ever think that good things can happen to her?" Good Luck asked.

"Misfortune, Good Luck, can't we just have a civil conversa-" Fate tried to rationalize.

"When was the last time Serena had good luck?" Misfortune stated knowingly.

"Guys!" Fate attempted again toward even just a millisecond of peace.

"You always have to be such a wise god. Jeez! Sorry! I was taking my vacation time a little early. Good Luck doesn't just come around when I make it happen! You are such a jerk!" Good Luck was definitely riled up.

"Enough!" Fate bawled. "I bet $24.50 that you both will be wrong!"

Misfortune and Good Luck sighed, "Jeez Fate! You always have to be so exact."

"Where's that 50 cents you owe me!" They both mocked him.

Fate clicked the button on the remote that said, "Peace and Quiet."

"I'm so glad Sailor Pluto just upgraded this dam remote. I guess she really is quite helpful," Fate admitted after having shut up his two fellow gods.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back on Earth, Serena was still running.

Serena urged herself to hurry up. "Come on Serena. You can do this. You're almost there. Come on girl just a block le-"

Suddenly, her foot came in contact with the crack in the sidewalk.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misfortune grabbed the remote and smiled, "See. I told you so."

"Hold on a second maybe she won't fall. She might just stumble…" Good Luck rambled.

Fate glared at them, snatched the remote back, and pressed play.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ah!" Serena screeched. She was falling… falling… falling…

"Wait a second. I'm not falling anymore! Yay! Maybe it was just a feeling of déjà vu, seeing I can be somewhat klutzy at times." Serena thought to herself.

"Meatball head! Why do you always have to be falling like your legs are made of Jell-O?" Darien stated and brought her to her feet.

"Oh great. The jerk caught me. Well, I guess it's better than scraping up my knee. But wait! He totally said that my legs are made of Jell-O," Serena thought to herself.

"Why don't you watch where you're running, and maybe it might save you from having your constant klutz attacks!" Darien said.

Serena stepped closer to Darien. "First of all, my legs are not Jell-O. Second, what do you think you're doing! I wasn't going to actually fall!" Serena stated feeling less confident every second.

Serena just realized that the space between herself and Darien was a lot smaller than before.

Serena blushed, "Uh… so… I better get going to school now," she said nervously and ran off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Score zero to Misfortune and Good Luck, and one for the almighty Fate. Cough up my money." Fate said.

Misfortune said, "Why do we even make bets on the poor girl. It's always how stupid, klutzy, or ditzy the poor girl is. What use do we even have with money? It's not like we can go shopping anyway."

Good Luck said, "Yeah

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------Serena's POV---------

Oh my god. I just was about to fall, and Darien caught me. My Hero! Serena, get yourself together. This is just one hottie that saved you. No big deal. Tuxedo Mask is a lot more hunky and noble than Darien could ever be. Sigh. Why do we always have to have a fight?

We sure were close after he helped me to my feet. I felt like I was drifting away into outer space. Serena, girl, don't be such a space cadet. Wake up! The poor guy doesn't even have any interest in you. He sure smelled nice, though. Was that roses he smelled like. No… it couldn't have been. Only Tuxedo Mask can smell that good. Maybe I should talk to the girls. Well… shopping is a good cure for getting your mind off of guys. Really, I'm sure my friends don't think this much about guys than I do. Well, maybe with the exception of Mina of course. Laughing to herself, she continued on her way to the dreaded school.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------Darien's POV---------

I was day dreaming about her again. She's the one person that makes me smile, even when I'm having the worst of days.

I noticed that she was merely a few yards away from me, and she was falling. Another klutz attack, I guess. I really don't know how she can be so beautiful and so ditzy at times. She makes me chuckle when we have our little arguments. Just seeing her brings a smile to my face. It's not like I'm stalker guy…, or anything. Sure I do follow her on occasion, but it's only to check on her well being. I know world, I'm so kind. I wish that she could see that. Serena is my world, and I wish she could know that.

But… she hates me. Why can't I ever be nice to her? It's just so fun tormenting her. We were so close to each other. I could smell that wonderful warm vanilla sugar perfume. I wonder why she got mad at me when I called her Meatball Head. It's not like it's a bad thing. Well, maybe it is to her. She's my little meatball head.

What am I saying? All this lovey-dovey stuff is getting to me. I've gotta talk to Andrew. He may be able to give me some useful advice of how to get a girl off your mind. Man I gotta get out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With barely two minutes left before the late bell would ring, Serena switched to turbo mode. If it's even possible, Serena was running faster than she'd ever run in her life. All of this extended effort, aside from the turmoil from "bumping" into Darien on her way to school, was also because she wanted changes made. For the first day of her life, she wanted to acknowledge her responsibilities. One of these responsibilities, being to get to class on time, and she was going to do it. Just to prove her friend Raye wrong.

----------------FLASHBACK-------------------------------------------------

Raye, Lita, Mina, and Amy were at the Crown Arcade drinking milkshakes, and waiting for their very late friend to show up.

"Serena better get her late butt over here in the next two minutes, or she's going to be burnt toast," Raye aggravated, stated.

"Burnt toast? Well, I guess I'll take what I can get to eat," Serena said just having walked into the Crown Arcade after her detention with Mrs. Haruna.

"Finally," Raye sighed in exhaustion.

"Serena, maybe you should start setting your alarm clock and not press snooze every fifteen minutes," Lita said.

"Ya Serena, you know what they say, wake up and start drinking coffee," Mina brightly added.

Amy laughed, "I think you mean, wake up and smell the coffee, Mina."

"So Serena, any particular reason why you're late for the eighth time this week?" Lita asked.

Serena started to explain, "Well, you see, I…" but was interrupted by Amy.

"You are so carefree Serena. I wish I could be like that," Amy sadly wished.

Serena exclaimed, "Wish granted!"

"What are you now a genie or something? Jeez. Let's see how it fits. I can see it now, I Dream of Meatball Head. Nope, doesn't really work," Raye said.

"Anyways Amy, I can tutor you how to be a little bit like me if you'd like. I'm not really all that carefree but…" Serena was interrupted once again.

"Ha! Is that an understatement!" Raye snidely remarked.

"Wow," Amy said amazed, "You'd really do that for me?"

"Amy, I will help you. I can tutor you for as long as you need or want me to," Serena suggested.

"How about everyday after school around 4pm?" Amy questioned her.

"Great! I'll see you tomorrow!" Serena started to get out of the booth.

"Serena, where are you going?" Lita asked.

Serena pondered for a minute. "I've got a history test tomorrow," Serena stated.

"And your point is…?" Ray asked.

Serena declared, "I'm going to study for that test!"

The girls' reactions were nothing but stunned. Raye dropped her very full milkshake onto Mina's lap. Amy was in shock, and then ran home to get her history book to study also. Mina was just as frozen as a cave man frozen up into a glacier. Lita looked really pale with her mouth open, and dazed. No… wait… I guess she's just gaping because of that cute guy who just walked by. There was a long silence. Lita ended up saying, "He looks like my old boyfr."

"BOYFRIEND," Mina ended it for her finally snapping out of the inanimate state that she was in. "Lita! We have a crisis here, and all you can do is drool over yet another guy who surprisingly enough looks like your old boyfriend. Tell me Lita, is this old boyfriend of yours real because there are surely a lot of people that he looks like."

"Guys… what's wrong? Was it something I ate? I knew I shouldn't have eaten Luna's tuna fish cat food. Uh… did I just say that out loud?" Serena said with a nervous giggle.

Lita angrily said, "Mina, I'm surprised at you. Not every hunky guy that walks past me looks like my old boyfriend. I'm completely offended."

"Lita, is this person invisible?" Mina asked.

"Huh?" Lita said confused.

"What I'm trying to say is… do you have imaginary boyfriend syndrome?" Mina asked knowingly.

"Mina? What the hell is that!" Lita yelled.

Mina whispered to the others who were still frozen in their spots, "Yep. She definitely has it. She's in denial."

Mina, conveniently, had some pictures of random guys with her. She took them out.

She held one up and asked Lita, "Who does this look like?"

Lita answered, "With his muscular build, square jaw, and perfect kissing lips, its sure looks a lot like Freddy."

Mina held up another picture that was the polar opposite of the other one and asked, "What does this picture look like?" The picture was of a total dweeb with the big glasses that practically covered his entire face, an afro, and was really lanky.

"How'd you get a picture of him wearing that! This is one of his better pictures yet! My love, I've finally found him."

The final picture that Mina showed Lita was of a gothic, punk kid, with chains, several piercings in a variety of places, and his hair was cut in a Mohawk, dyed into various colors of purple and black, and was spiked. "Now what's this photo look like? Lita...?"

Lita gaped, "Oh my god! There he is! I've waited for this time for a while now, the moment when I'd finally get to see him again!" Lita fainted.

Serena left her weirded-out friends and walked toward the exit door of the Crown Arcade. The counter where Andrew worked was on the way, so of course Serena wanted to say hi.

"So Serena, what'll it be?" Andrew asked.

"Oh… well I was just going to say hi, and leave," Serena stated.

From a few feet a way, Darien was sitting on a stool drinking a cup of coffee.

"Meatball head, what happened to your friends? Did you have one of your klutz attacks again, or were they just shocked at how stupid you are?" Darien meanly asked.

Serena said, "I'm going to ignore that comment of me being stupid and klutzy because I'm not either of them. Excuse me, but I have to study!"

Darien and Andrew were trying to comprehend what Serena just said.

"Can you say that again?" Andrew and Darien asked at the same time.

"Are you deaf? I-AM-GOING-TO-STUDY!" Serena punctuated each word.

Andrew was busy getting some hot chocolate for himself. Right when Serena said that, he made the cup overflow and it kept pouring all over his hand.

"Um… Are you okay Andrew?" Serena worriedly questioned him.

Darien's reaction was none the less surprised. The coffee that wasn't yet swallowed in Darien's mouth, sprayed all over Andrew. Andrew was now covered in coffee everywhere, and his hands were still getting drowned with the hot chocolate that he refused to let go of out of shock (poor Andrew, lol).

"Bye!" Serena said, and left Mina, Lita, Amy, Raye along with Andrew and Darien in a state of semi-shock.
