Monday morning.  Crossroads Junior High.

"Serena, could I see you at my desk for a moment?"  Miss Haruna's voice
cut over the din of students.

Serena gulped and walked up.  She'd forgotten about asking Darien how school had gone--along
with the surrounding Universe everytime he kissed her.  She supposed she was in trouble again.

But Miss Haruna pulled her gently round to show her something.
She gasped as she looked down at all the homework assignments she'd left crumpled in her bag.

"These are all wonderful Serena.  You have a firm grasp on everything we've covered.  Why on
earth didn't you hand them in before?"

Serena flushed, "I-I thought I'd flunk."

Miss Haruna shook her head, "You only think you're a bad student.  These assignments prove it.
I'm going to take these and forget their late, as long as you hand your work in from now on
okay?"

Serena shook her head slowly and then walked dazedly back to her desk.  
~Darien...he must've found them all in my bag...~

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Azabu High.  Lunchtime.

Darien wove his way through the lunchroom to a lone table by the window to eat and study.
But he'd barely sat down when another boy--about his age--sat down beside him.

"Hey Darien!  Mind if I join *you* today?"

"Uh, not at all..."  He said, trying not to sound surprised.  He looked at the boy's books and
quickly noted his name was Simon.  

"I want to thank you for coming to sit with me yesterday again!  It's not easy being the new
guy!"

Darien relaxed a bit, "Oh for sure, I remember when I started here..."

And they managed to have a fairly smooth conversation after that.

~Serena...~  He thought half-ruefully, ~At least she didn't just go plop down at the nearest
crowded table and REALLY mess up my life!~

The Arcade.  Afterschool.

Darien sat across from Serena who was busy inhaling a milkshake.

"I see you made me a new friend."  He smiled wryly.

Serena raised an eyebrow, "And I see YOU handed in all my assignments."

He colored a bit, "Er...they looked fine."

She smiled, "They were.  She's giving me full credit for all of them."

He smiled, "Simon's pretty cool."

She looked at his face a moment, "I guess now we really appreciate what our lives are like."

He nodded.

"I'm kind of glad it happened."

He grinned, "Me too....uh...except for the bathroom thing..."  

The both blushed awkwardly at one another until Andrew came over.

"I still don't believe it."  He said shaking his head at them.

Darien chuckled and Serena blushed redder.  

Andrew grinned, "But hey, stranger things have happend. Did you hear that the other night,
Sailormoon was spotted, carrying Tuxedo Mask off into the night in her arms?!  Ha ha, I'd have
paid to see that!"

Darien and Serena's eyes widened and they struggled to wait till he was gone before bursting
into uncontrollable laughter.

"whoops!"  Serena managed, still laughing.
