AN: I don't own Sailor Moon, and go easy on me this is my first fanfic.

And incase you forgot Ms. Anne Leola is Serena's stage name.

Changing Everything

Ch8: Are you with us, or not?

"Excuse me?" Ray asked caught off guard.

"We're not going to be what everyone things we should be anymore." Darien stated.

"Whatever!" Ray said not caring for him, her verbal abuse was meant for Serena, and Serena only. She had been waiting so long for this. Just for Serena to screw up so she would get kicked out of the group. Now Ray was going to finish her off for good!

"He's serious Ray. We're not following these sick rules of high school anymore. I'm my own person; I can do whatever I want. And I want to be more. I want to be smart, funny, athletic, and I want to act. I want to do it all without being told I can't! And I'm not going to take this shit anymore. It's the start of a new year and I'm going to do what I please!" Serena said in a huff. That whole speech got her so flustered, she'd never been that worked up before. But it was for a good cause.

"Hah, you being smart now that's a joke. Funny…sometimes, but we just laugh at you not with you. You'll never be athletic since you're so klutzy, and no way in hell could you ever act. Look at you, you're pathetic. You'll never amount to anything but a pretty face." Ray smirked thinking she'd already won the verbal battle.

"Hey Ray, read my t-shirt." Now it was Serena's turn to smirk.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Ray growled.

"Look!" Mina murmured in shock. To see what all this bullshit Serena was talking about Ray looked down to read her shirt.

Cinderella : The Play

Starring our famous: Ms. Anne Leola

"So what?" Ray asked confused. Serena turned around with a picture of her from a dress rehearsal as Cinderella; underneath the caption was Ms. Anne Leola. She looked exactly like Serena, or it is Serena, Ray thought."Areyou saying that's you?" Serena nodded. The observers silence was now broken as everyone was in an uproar of this scandalous act by Serena. "You liar! I bet she just looks like you and your trying to steal her credit."

"No Ray, it's the truth. I watched her!" Darien said in outrage. He was so mad at what everything Ray's said he wanted to add in a few words of his own about her, but he knew this was Serena's battle.

"You knew about this?" Ray asked Darien in rage.

"It was her!" Diamond said intruding on the conversation.

"I saw it too. It really was her!" Amy piped in.

"Amy! You knew?" Serena asked in disbelief.

Amy nodded bashfully. "When I went to see it with my mother I recognized you on stage. I didn't really want to say anything, because I wanted you to tell me."

"I'm sorry Ames."

"Okay, you loser girl," Ray pointed to Amy who just joined in with the group. "You leave, now! And Diamond, I thought you were cool enough to fit in with us but I guess not!"

Just as Amy started to turn away with tears in her eyes, Serena spoke up. "How dare you! How dare you treat Amy like that!" Serena's tone lowered sounding threatening.

"You didn't seem to mind before when we me, Lita, Mina and YOU, treated other people like this." Ray said smoothly.

"I was naive then to think hurting peoples feelings was the price you had to pay for being popular. But to each person I hurt I would do anything with my power to try to make up for the pain I caused them. Do you know why? It's called regret! People have it when they feel guilty, and they want to be forgiven for their sins. What about you Ray? I bet you feel not one of ounce remorse for the damage you've caused to some people we've tortured. And that makes you the horrible person, I might have been one but at least I'm willing to change."

"But you know," Serena continued on with her speech. "That's not what this is about. The reason I'm here talking to you in the courtyard in front of everyone is because…I want to change everything. Look at Amy. She's smart. And that's what you all only see of her, but she's not only that. She's an amazing swimmer too. I bet none of you knew on her first day here she beat all the records for backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. But she wasn't given a chance to excel more at swimming because she was already labeled as smart. What about me? As you all already know I can act. And I think I'm a pretty darn good actress too! But not only then that, I've been putting on a show for you guys. Sure I have my klutzy moments, but not as often as I pretend to do. And I'm not dumb as a box of rocks either. I can make decent grades, but no my popular title doesn't allow that. And I hate to disappoint my parents all for this façade of high school. Finally I want the real me to show, not this fake!"

"To be honest I don't care if no one else is with me but Darien-" Amy coughed to get Serena's attention, and Serena nodded in acknowledgment, "and Amy are by my side to step out of the boundaries of high school rules. No threats will stop me. I renounce the title as one of the most popular girls in school to just be known as plain old Serena."

With that said, silence was in the air. People were contemplating on their decisions. Were they with Serena or not?
