Hey all! Thank you for all of the reviews! I really appreciate everything. Here is another chapter!

Passion

It was the fourth quarter. It was the last quarter before the hard training began.

Last quarter, she made friends with the most unlikely of any. A girl with short, blue hair, tall long, brunette-haired girl with the most determined emerald eyes, and a raven-haired girl tat didn't go to their school.

The blue-haired girl was Amy. She was extremely smart and shy.

The tall brunette that always wore her hair up in a ponytail's name was Lita. She may look mean, like a bully, but if you got to know her, she was the sweetest and best cook in the world.

The last one, the violet-eyed, raven-haired beauty's name was Raye. She may have a fiery temper, but inside, she can be a good friend, despite the teasing that goes around between Serena and her.

Mina, Amy, Lita, Raye, and Serena were the best of friends. That group would look the strangest if you saw them because of their totally different personalities, but somehow, all their personalities together, complete each other.

Serena continued her training and start battling the youma. She used to be alone in battle, but lately, there had been these other people showing up to help, each with about the same outfit as Sailor Moon's except with different colors. Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Mars were their names. (You should know who they are. Wink Wink) They worked together because they knew their responsibilities, but never knew the other's true identity.

Then there was always this masked mysterious man always dressed in a tuxedo to save Sailor Moon if she was in trouble. He says he goes by, Tuxedo Mask. Serena has the hugest crush on him. Whenever he saved her, she always loved to look into his dark, midnight blue eyes. Somehow, they were familiar to her.

Luna knows of this crush and is against it because she doesn't know what side he is on for he is in search of the crystals also. Serena argues that he is on her side since he always saves her.

"Now Serena, this summer we have to get down to business. We have to go to a specialist and good friend of mine and he can help you. We are going to have to change that clumsiness into gracefulness and teach you to be punctual and serene."

"What am I going to tell my parents?"

"Don't worry, I'll think of something."

Serena nodded. "Okay, now I have to run to school! I'm going to be so late!"

She ran all the way to school in record time. She was just five minutes to class and found a seat next to Mina, Amy, and Lita.

"Hey, guys!"

"Hey, you're on time! What a great improvement, Serena! Good start of the fourth quarter," Amy said impressed.

"Yeah, yeah. I just rushed to get here early because they are going to announce the classes we can take and I don't want to get into a class I don't want to be in."

The principal walked in at that moment and cleared his throat. "Ladies and gentleman, glad to have you back! I am here to announce the classes available this semester. Once you pick, form a line and sign you name under the class you've chosen. There are art, choir, an accelerated class to accelerate an accelerated student's education even further, drama, and home economics."

Mina nudged Serena. "You should take choir. You have a great voice and would be a lovely addition to the choir we have. You could make them better because our choir sucks."

"I don't know. I'm thinking of going to art. I love to paint too."

"You're so artistically talented. I just wish I was any good at those things," Amy said sadly.

"Well, you are smart. I think that's even better. You have something you're parents can be proud of, something that has higher chance to make someone successful," Serena countered and flashed her a smile.

"I guess you're right, but I still wish I had any artistic abilities."

They went in line and signed up to a class. Serena art, Mina drama, Amy accelerated class, and Lita home economics.

Classes went by and it was free period. Serena decided to relive some stress and went into the music room to sign. She found the piano and played while singing along to a song she wrote,

I've worked hard to reach the top…

I've worked hard; never took a break and stopped.

After starting something new,

I felt in my heart

The need to break through…

I feel it

Getting to me. I need to break free.

And I want to

Run away… But it wants me to stay.

Oohhh… Help me escape…

Singing washed away all her problems and helped her relax. She didn't think that she was very good, but the person listening sure did.

"Wow, that was beautiful," someone said.

She jumped and turned around to fine Darien at the door.

"You were listening?"

"Yes, and you have talent, Meatball Head."

"You really think so?"

He walked over to the piano and answered, "No, I don't think so."

"Oh," how could she be so stupid into believing he was sweet…

"I know so," he whispered into her ear.

She blushed. I guess he isn't that bad after all…

"I'm not that good…"

"Oh, yes you are. You need to stop putting yourself down and believe in yourself. Have you ever gotten lessons?"

"Since I was twelve."

"And you wrote this?"

She blushed and shyly answered, "Yes."

"Wow. I felt the lyrics as you sang them. When did you learn to play the piano?"

"After you left because you knew how to play the piano. After that, I learned to play the guitar."

"You're really talented."

"I'm not that passionate about singing though. I only sing to relieve my worries, stress, problems, etc…"

"Sounds like passion to me," he said looking into her eyes truthfully.

"Play me something," Serena said pointing to the piano.

He started playing this familiar tune that she heard before, she couldn't put her finger on it… Like a dream or something…

She watched him close his eyes and his fingers move rhythmically. When he was finished, opened his eyes.

"I wrote that. I kept hearing it in my dreams and decided to write it down."

"No, you didn't. I've heard that before. In my dreams too."

"How could you have heard it before? I did a long of research and found no one has written that song before."

"I'm positive I've heard it before."

"That's strange."

"Yeah, it is."

They were very close on the chair. They started to inch closer and closer, their lips about to touch - Bell rings.

He pulls away disappointed. "Come on, I'll walk you to your next class."

She looked at the ground, trying to hide the rosy color up her cheeks. "Okay."

He held out his hand and she accepted it.

They caught up to Mina and Andrew. They were both staring at Darien and Serena's hands, which were still linked. Serena and Darien had questioning expressions. They followed their gaze and saw that their hands were still lined and immediately let go.

Mina and Andrew gave them sly smiles. They both looked other directions and blushed.

"Thanks guys. See you guys at lunch," Mina said pulling Serena away from Darien. "It's just a matter of time."

"For what?"

"You guys will be together at the earliest, next year. Lately, you guys haven't been fighting as much."

"Maybe we're tired of it. And why would he and I go out? We don't even like each other."

Mina rolled her eyes. "Keep telling yourself that, but I can see it, Amy and Lita see it, and even Raye, who has a crush on sees it! Why else do you think she's been meaner than usual?"

"Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. We will not be together. Not now, not ever. We were just walking together because we were talking."

"About what?"

"Just how talented I am. While I was in there, he snuck in and listened to me."

"You are. You have a beautiful voice. Why can't you let it out?"

"I can only feel it when I am feeling emotional."

"Oh. What is with the faraway look you guys had?"

"I left out that after he played a song for me, we almost kissed," she said in a rush because she knew what was going to happen next.

Mina jumped and squealed. "Oh my god! I knew it!"

Serena rolled her eyes and went into the classroom.

Pushing their relationship closer and closer. Don't worry guys, they will be together soon. You will see. In the mean time, would you mind reviewing?
