Aw, I am happy! Thank you all for the reviews! To repay you here is another chapter!

Excited

Months pass by…

This would be her last day training until next summer. Excitedly, she got ready for breakfast. Somehow, her yogurt tasted really good this morning.

After breakfast, she met up with Jadeite. She ran eight laps around the mansion.

Today, she would have her final exams. First she would have to fight Jadeite and whoever fell first, loses. Next will be Malachite with swords and whoever was unarmed first, loses. And finally, Jadeite, Nephrite, and Malachite fight her all at once. After all of that, she has a test on everything she learned that summer with Zoicite.

She prepared for the first battle. They both bowed to each other.

Jadeite threw the first punch, but she easily dodged it. He kicked her, but she blocked it. She did a back flip and hit his face. Then she quickly tripped him as she swung her foot to his legs. He jumped before she could hit him. She instantly got up and threw him a punch. He caught it and attempted to throw her behind him, but in the air from behind she kicked him. He let go and fell.

"I won!" screeched Serena.

Jadeite chuckled as she helped him up. "The student has finally surpassed the master. I'm impressed. I don't think I've every been beat before, except for Artemis, who taught me."

She was a little puzzled on how a cat would teach someone, but she ignored it. "Thank you so much," she said and gave him a hug.

Malachite carefully handed her the princess' sword. The battle began.

Serena incorporated the moves she learned with gymnastics. She easily dodged and blocked all of his moves. She attacked and knocked his sword out of his hands ending up with two. Malachite lie on the floor and Serena was on top of him with the two swords at his neck.

He also chuckled. "Perhaps I've taught you too well."

She smiled. "You didn't teach me everything I know. I just know your moves too well, that's all. Plus, that gives me an advantage since I planned it all out."

"Nice technique. Now that is good planning. That makes a good warrior. I'm so proud of you."

She squealed because of the approval and gave him a hub.

Next would be the battle of all of them.

They all came at once. Jadeite threw a punch, but she ducked and attacked Malachite knocking his sword out of his hands. Jadeite ended up hitting Nephrite, who fell to the ground. Still down, Serena tripped both the shocked Jadeite and Malachite. They were all on the ground next to each other. Serena held the two swords at their next.

She then heard clapping in the distance and turned to see Artemis on Charlie's shoulder.

"That was well under five minutes, Serena. Nobody has ever done that before and to my best trained assistants! You sure have improved," said Artemis.

"You're better than them!" exclaimed Charlie.

She blushed.

Jadeite cleared his throat. "As much of a joy it is, I would love to be set free from this."

"Oh," Serena said and backed away from the three men on the ground.

"I say you passed with flying colors, I don't think you will even need to come back next summer, but to keep in shape you still have to," Nephrite said.

The three vowed down to her.

"We all have never had anyone beat us and so we respect you. In any time of need, we pledge ourselves to be at your service," said Malachite.

She smiled warmly at them. Now she had only one more exam to pass and this would be a lot harder than fighting and doing flips and all that stuff.

She went to eat lunch and take a shower.

She headed towards the direction she had learned to memorize, the library.

Zoicite was waiting with a packet that was probably the test in his hands.

"I heard you beat them. If you can beat those punks, then I know you can pass this test. You're ready for it. When you do, I will also pledge myself to you."

She smiled and took the test from his hand. She looked at the paper and she got nervous. Everything that she had learned washed down the drain. She took a deep breath and tried to concentrate. Suddenly, flashed of her lessons with Zoicite came to her mind. She didn't know how this was happening, but it sure did help. Soon, she was going through the test like it was nothing.

Zoicite, however, stood there dumbfounded as she handed him the127 problemed (is this even a word?) test after only about a half of an hour has passed. No one has ever finished that fast, at least he remembered only a few Mercurians and people from the royal bloodline has finished in this time. He took the test and dismissed her as he graded her test.

She headed towards her room to pack all of her things because she would be leaving tonight after dinner to head to Tokyo. God she missed that place.

After she made sure she had all the things she needed, she put her bags near her door.

She went to find Zoicite and ask him about her grade. She had found him still in the library staring at what is seemed her test looking stupefied.

"Zoicite? What's wrong?" she panicked. "Did I fail?"

He quickly snapped out of his state and shook his head. "You got everything right," he said in disbelief.

Her jaw dropped. "What?"

"Y-you got them all right," replied Zoicite still in some sort of shock.

"Is that possible?"

"Yes, but no one has ever done that before. Well, only the Moon Princess once because she has a photographic memory of the lessons, but that was only because she paid attention. She was known to stay from the schoolwork and not pay attention."

She nodded and walked to the dining room still with a flabbergasted expression on her face.

She was congratulated and soon she slowly relaxed and turned back to normal.

She joined in with the jokes and conversations because it would be her last dinner here until the next summer. It would be a while till she would see them again.

Charlie escorted her to the limo and she said her good-byes. Tears were shed; even the mighty Malachite shed at least one tear.

"Aw, Malachite, don't cry, I'll be here next year and we will keep in touch okay?" she said with her tears blurring her vision.

"You better or else I am going all the way to Tokyo and you will be in big trouble," Jadeite said and gave her a bear hug.

She smiled and hugged them all one last time before hopping into the limo.

She got to the airport and went aboard the plane.

She slowly fell asleep.

A few hours later, a flight attendant awakened her. She quickly boarded off the plane and searched for her friends.

She found them and she was attacked with hugs.

"SERENA!" they all screamed.

"Oh, my god, you look gorgeous," said Mina when she noticed Serena's change in her figure.

She blushed. "Thanks."

"Are you sure it was to help you in school and not some spa place?"

She shook her head. "They just had a strict healthy food thing and gym class. They were health nuts."

Mina nodded not fully believing her. "Right. So guess what?"

"What?"

"My cat showed up out of nowhere a few hours before we came to pick you up!"

"Oh, really? That's nice."

"So, all of the girls were thinking we should go shopping tomorrow," Lita interrupted.

"Yeah!" Raye chirped.

"Sure," Serena replied.

They took her home to find a great feast at her table.

Her mother had cooked her all of her favorite foods. Her mouth watered.

They all watched as she finished three plates of food in two minutes flat.

She noticed that they were all staring at her. "What?"

They stared at her three empty plates.

"I'm hungry! Like I said, they were health nuts!"

Ah, it feels so good to be back. There is good food, my friends… Oh, no, Darien!
