Sorry I haven't updated this story in forever, I kinda forgot it. Whoops! Here's the next chappie! Luv Y'all! It's Serena's POV.

Mina sat me down in front of her giant mirror. I was so thrilled to be liked by Mina Aino! She's like...royalty or something. I swear, if life was a magazine either her or Raye would be on the cover. I'd probably be somewhere near the fashion do's and don'ts in the back..

"Let's see. We should start with your eyebrows. Lita, hand we the tweezers," was the first thing Mina said after we got to her house besides Hey mom and Follow me.

Let me say here that plucking hurts. I didn't know I had such unruly eyebrows. I mean, Mina was sitting there for, like, ever plucking away at my face. It hurt like crap until Mina showed me what I looked like in the mirror. I looked better. I never thought I looked bad, but I guess eyebrows do matter.

"I think we should do her hair next don't ya think?" asked Lita. Mina ran her hands through my hair like she was contemplating. Then she got right next to my face.

"You have really nice hair. I think we should get rid of your little bun thingies and give you a braid on your top layer. Don't you think so?" Before I could even reply Mina had pulled the rubber bands from my hair and it had fallen around my face.

She picked up a white brush with a pink rhinestone M on it from her dresser and started to brush my hair. I've never had someone brush my hair before. It was definitely something different, but hey, I'm not complaining.

As Mina brushed my hair I looked around her room. Her bed is white like the furniture and has an orange comforter. There are doodles in Sharpie on some of the furniture, but mainly on the dresser in front of me. The doodles are basically mini-Mina's with peace signs or something like that, but there was one that caught my eye. It was a girl with black hair next to a girl with blonde hair. They were both smiling and were holding a sign that said BFF on it. Next to the blonde were the initials M.A and there was R.H. next to the black haired. I assumed it was Mina and Raye. I ran a finger over the sign just as Mina stopped brushing my hair.

"Is that you and Raye?" I asked her, but she pretended not to hear me and put the brush down right on top of the picture. I guessed she was mad at Raye or something. It was quiet for a moment before someone said anything.

"Yeah, it's me and Raye but I hate that picture. It's poorly drawn cause we were, like, weirdly hyper or something when we drew it. Just ignore it." I personally thought it was really good. The lines were just right and it wasn't cartoon-ish like the others. It actually looked like them, like a portrait or something like that. Maybe Mina has a different perspective of stuff like that. Or...maybe she's really mad at Raye. Oh well, it's not my concern.

Mina gathered the top layer of my hair and picked up the brush once more. She brushed through it to make it smooth before braiding it. Her finger flew through my hair like a rocket as she quickly wove her hair into a beautiful braid. When she got to the end of my hair she grabbed a pony tail holder and fastened it.

"There. Isn't that pretty?" Mina smiled.

"Yeah, thanks." I said. It really was. I looked great.

Ami got a look like she remembered something. "Serena, you remembered to call your mom and tell her you'd be staying with Mina tonight right?" Of course I didn't.

"Crap! I'll be right back!" I ran to Mina's door then skidded to a stop. "Um, Mina? Where's your phone?"

Mina looked like she was about to bust out laughing. "Next to my bed."

"Oh..." Well don't I feel stupid.

I cautiously sat on Mina's bed and picked up the white phone which, I quickly noticed, also had a mini-Mina on it. I punched in my phone number and waited for it to ring. The clock by the phone read four-thirty so I probably wasn't in too much trouble.

"Come on Serena, relax. It's not like my beds going to eat you or anything." Mina said as she flopped onto it. I quickly found out it was a water bed by the way it bobbed up and down. Lita and Ami also sat next to me and listen to my end of the conversation. I hear our machine come on.

"Hello. You have reached the Tsukino residence. If you'd like to leave a message for Irene, Kenji, Sammy, or Serena, please wait for the beep and do your thing....BEEP!"

I sighed and pressed the cut off then waited for a dial tone.

"Couldn't get her?" asked Lita.

"No, I'm gonna try her office."

"Okay."

Another answering machine.

"Ugh! Stupid answering machines! What are they? Haunting me?!?" I cried. Mina apparently thought this was hilarious since she didn't stop giggling for like ever. I finally reached my dad's cell and I asked him to tell mom that I was at a friends for the night. He said he would when he saw her.

"Whew! Glad that's over," said Ami.

"Yeah," agreed Lita.

"Hey Ser?" asked Mina. Since when did she have nick name for me? I guess it's easier that saying Serena all the time.

"Yeah?"

"What do you think of Raye?" What do I think of Raye? What was she getting at?

"What do you mean what do I think of Raye?"

"I mean do you think she's nice 'n' stuff?"

"I don't know. I never really got to know her."

"Right." She sounded a little annoyed. She looked at Lita and Ami. Lita gave a little shrug. Hmm... this is suspicious. Better keep on my toes.
