"WHOA! I'm late again!" Serena jumped out of bed and put on her uniform.

"What's all the yelling for, Serena?" Luna asked through sleepy eyes.

"I'm late for school again, that's what!"

"But, Sere-" Luna didn't get a chance to finish her sentence. Serena rushed out the door. She ran into the dining room, and found it empty.

"Wonder why there's nobody here?" She went to the kitchen and found her mom.

"Ohayo, okaa-san."

"Ohayo, Serena." Ilene took a look at Serena before asking, "Why are wearing your uniform, Serena?"

"What do you mean `why'? I have to go to school."

"Sweetie, there's no school today, remember? It's the weekend." Serena took a minute to think.

"You're right, aren't you?" There was a sweat drop on the back of Ilene's head. "I'll just go change again." Serena walked out of the kitchen and went upstairs to her room. When she got there, she looked over at Luna who was fast asleep.

[I guess I'll just go to the arcade then.]

~~~~~~~~~~

Darien walked into the arcade.

"Oi, Darien!" greeted Andrew.

"Oi!" Darien walked up to the counter and sat on a stool.

"What will it be?"

"Black coffee."

"Coming right up." Andrew got a mug and started preparing the coffee. "So, how's it going? You haven't been in here for days."

"I was busy with schoolwork. I had a major research paper to do. But I'm all done now."

Andrew was about to say something when he noticed Serena come in.

"Hi, Andrew! Hi Darien!"

"Hi Serena!" they both answered in union. Serena walked up to them and sat in the stool next to Darien.

"Wow! I'm surprised!" Darien suddenly said.

"Surprised about what?" asked Serena.

"That you're here so early. I'd thought you were still sleeping." Darien teased.

"HEY!" Serena yelled back.

Andrew decided to change the subject before the two would kill each other. "Why ARE you here so early, Serena?"

"Because I woke up early. I had nothing to do, so I came here."

"Don't you have homework?" Andrew asked.

"Oh…yeah, but…I don't understand how to do it, so…"

"Maybe I can help you." Darien interrupted.

Both Andrew and Serena turned to look at him with confusing faces.

"Really?"

"Of course, Serena. If you want, we can go study right now."

"Right now?" Andrew asked. "It's the weekend. You guys shouldn't be studying, you should be having fun."

Serena took a minute to think. [Maybe I COULD go study today. I'll get it out of my way, and then I'll have the rest of the week to enjoy. We don't go to school next week anyway.]

"Hey, Serena?" Andrew interrupted her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, sorry. Darien, maybe it WOULD help if you helped me."

"Great! We can study at your house!"

"Um…I'm not sure how much we'll get done there."

"What do you mean?" asked Andrew.

"Sammy invited some of his friends over to play. Their mothers came along too. So…I think it might be noisy there."

"Well then…we could go over to my place, instead." Darien suggested.

"Alright!"

"We'll se you later Andrew!" Darien said as he walked out the door with Serena.

"Bye, guys!"

"Bye, Andrew!"

~~~~~~~~~~

They were heading for Darien's car.

"We'll pass by your house so can pick up her notebooks, ok?"

"Sure."

She looked up at the sky and noticed it was getting cloudy. [I hope it doesn't rain. I hate thunder and lightning!] They got into the car and drove off.

~~~~~~~~~~

When they arrived, Serena got out of the car and headed for the door. Darien followed her. She stopped when she got to the door and turned to face Darien.

"If you want, you can wait for me inside."

"I don't want to be a bother."

"You won't! I'm sure my mom would be glad to meet you."

"Well…alright."

They went inside and Serena closed the door behind them.

"Okaa-san!"

Ilene came out from the living room.

"Hi sweetie!" she said before noticing Darien. "Who might this handsome man be?" she asked, making Darien blush a little.

"This is Darien. The one I've been talking to you about."

"Oh, yes!" Ilene moved closer to take a better look at him. "It's so nice to finally meet you, Darien-san. My daughter has spoken so much about her boyfriend, Darien. I was beginning to think that I would never meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Tsukino-san."

"Please, call me Ilene."

"Alright."

"Won't you two have some tea with us?"

"Iie, arigato." responded Serena. "I just came to get my books."

"Your books? Don't tell me you're planning to study…" Ilene looked at Serena with a worried face.

"Hai. Darien is going to tutor me. We're going over to his place since it's so noisy here."

Ilene thought a while before replying. "Alright. Just make sure not to come back too late, sweetie."

"I won't." Serena ran upstairs to get her books. Ilene watched her go then turned to look back at Darien.

"You look like a nice young man. Handsome too." She told him making him blush again.

"Um…thanks." [Man! I don't even know what to say. At least she's okay with me.] His thoughts were interrupted when Serena came running down the stairs. "Did you get your books?" he asked.

"Yeah. We can go now. Bye mom. I'll see you later!" she waved as she went out the door wit Darien.

"Bye honey! Bye Darien!" Ilene waved back.

~~~~~~~~~~

Raye, Mina, Lita, and Amy came into the arcade. When they saw Andrew they said hi.

"Hey girls!"

"Have you seen Serena?" asked Mina.

"Yeah. She was here a couple of hours ago." He looked at them and asked "Is something wrong?"

"No." Raye responded. It's just that we were supposed to meet here around this time. But I think we'll have to go though."

"Why is that?" he asked.

"Well, it looks like it's about to rain. And hard." She said looking outside.

"I see."

"Then I think we should get going. Or else we're going to get caught in the rain." Suggested Amy.

"Yeah. And I don't want to get wet." added Lita.

"Well then, I guess I'll see you girls tomorrow." Andrew waved bye to them as they went out the door.

"Bye Andrew!" they said in union.

~~~~~~~~~~

"I get it now! You make this problems seem so easy, Darien." Serena looked over at him. He was sitting next to her on the floor.

"Well, I'm glad you finally understood." He said with a chuckle.

Serena was about to say something when a flash of lightning illuminated the room.

"Ahhhh! I hate lightning!" Then the lights went out. They just stayed there on the floor for a while before another flash of lightning. Serena got so scared, she was holding onto Darien like if her life depended on it. When he felt her shivering, he put his arms around her.

[I don't know if she's shivering because she's cold, or because she's scared.]

They didn't move for a long period of time. [I don't know what's wrong with me.] Darien began thinking. [I just want to…to kiss her, and…Oh, stop it Darien!] He scolded himself. [How can you be thinking that right now!?] He tried to hold the feeling and urge he had inside, but…

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

Like I said before, I first posted this fanfic on FF.net. They actually liked it there. It started off better than another fanfic I had posted before this one! But I don't know how popular (or unpopular) this fanfic will be. I just hope I don't get a lot of bad reviews… Oh, and if you review, please make it appropriate. I don't care if you review to tell me how bad the fanfic is, as long as the review is appropriate…

PREVIEW OF NEXT CHAPTER:

She put her arms around him again when she heard loud thunder.

"Don't worry, Serena." He raised her head with his hand to look at him. "I'll protect you." He said before leaning down and giving her a deep, passionate kiss.

~~~~~~~~~~

Serena entered her room and closed the door behind her. She stood there leaning on the door. [Gomen Nasai, okaa-san, otou-san. Gomen Nasai…] She slid down and covered her head with her arms.
