Watch Out Meatball Head !
1 Chapter One
*********************************************************
Serena Tsukino was heading towards the temple where her friend Ray lived, She wasn't her usual bouncy, cheerful self, in fact she was in a bad mood. she'd had a horrible day, today. First, she was half an hour late to school, it wasn't her fault she'd forgotten to set her alarm clock ! So she got detention for after school, then she'd fallen asleep in Algebra class so she'd gotten detention for the entire week !!!!! and then to make matters worse she had gotten back the results for that English paper, and she had a D-.
"Why so sad Meatball head ?" came a voice from not far behind her, interrupting her thoughts.
a voice she knew just too well, a voice that belonged to none other than Darien
Chiba.
She chose to ignore him. But he had other things on his mind.
"No, let me guess, you failed another test ?! that doesn't surprise me" He said laughing.
"oh shut up Darien, I've had a bad day o.k. and I don't need you to make it worse !!!! so LEAVE ME ALONE !" she screamed the last bit. she stood their for a minute staring at his shocked face.
"I'm sorry," she said softly. "I've had a bad day, and I was supposed to meet my friends at the temple half an hour ago, Bye !" with that she quickly started walking away. leaving a stunned Darien starring at her retreating back. 'just because I've had a bad day doesn't mean that I have to take it out on Darien' she thought.
"Crash !!" (thunder and lightning)
"Oh great just to make my day cant get any worse !" she thought. she hated thunder not to mention scared of it. Not soon after, giant rained drops started falling. seeing that she had just passed the arcade she decided to make a run for it there, she quickly started running back. 'I'll call Ray and the others and explain about the rainstorm, from the arcade' she thought as she walked through the entrance of the "crown arcade". She was already soaked from head to foot.
***********************Andrew****************************
He was taking an order when he saw a soaked Serena walk in, he waved at her. She smiled and waved back but didn't look very happy, as soon as he was done with the order he walked up to her.
"You are soaked, do you want me to get you a towel ?" he asked. She smiled gratefully and nodded.
Just then another customer approached, "Serena I've got serve the customers, I think they're taking shelter here, from that rainstorm !!" Andrew joked.
Serena didn't smile.
"Why don't you go to the back, there's a stack of towels there, last time I checked" Andrew said.
"o.k." was Serena's soft reply.
"and if you don't find any, Ask Darien to get you one from the top closet, he's back there drying off too." Andrew added, as she started walking around the counter.
"Darien's there ?" Serena stopped walking. "Uh, maybe I'll just wait till you're finished." Serena stammered. 'I'm not going to face him looking like this, he'll just have another insult to throw at me' she thought.
Andrew gave her a weird look but didn't say anything, 'they must have had another fight or something' he thought. 'I'll set him straight when I get Serena her towel'. with that he started serving the customers as quickly as he could, determined to have a talk with Darien before he left for his evening classes.
**************************Serena*************************
she made her way through the now crowded arcade, everyone seem to want to get away from the rain.
All the booths were taken, so she decided to call Ray and the others later, there was no hurry and seeing that her parents had gone on holiday she didn't have to worry about them either. But then she remembered that her aunt Lily (A.N. I made her up) was supposed to come and look after her because her parents didn't want her to stay home alone. 'typical dad' she thought as she quickly dialed her number, it rang 12 times but still no answer she left a message in case her aunt had gone shopping or something. she decided against calling Ray, right now. 'The only thing Ray would do is scream at me anyway' she thought. She looked around at something she could do, her eyes landed on the Sailor V game. she'd play that to take her mind of things.
Wrong ! she lost every single game, she didn't even get past the first level ! She cursed as the words 'GAME OVER' came up on the screen for the tenth time, that day.
She turned around at the sound of clapping.
"Nice. Very nice"
She glared at Darien, he was standing a few paces behind her with a towel slung around his neck and another folded one, held up in his hand.
"How long have you been standing there ?" Serena asked narrowing her eyes.
"Long enough" Darien replied.
Grabbing the towel in his hand and turning her back to him, she decided to call Ray. 'Anything is better than staying here with him!' she thought as she walked towards the phone booth. She dug into her pockets searching for a quarter. (A.N. I don't know anything about the money in Japan)
"Oh no !" she groaned as she remembered that she had spent her last quarters playing the 'Sailor V' game.
"Something wrong Serena ?" Andrew approached her.
"Andrew, can you please lend me a quarter I need it to call Ray ? She'll have a fit if she finds out that I made absolutely no effort to call her. I'll pay you back the next time I come to the arcade, I promise !" Serena said all in one breath.
"Sure thing, Serena" Andrew replied easily, pulling out a quarter from his apron.
"You're a life saver Andrew !" Serena said taking the quarter and turning towards the phone booth. She quickly dialed Rays number. Ray picked up in the first ring.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET US AT THE TEMPLE AN HOUR AGO !" Serena winced as Ray shouted at the phone.
"Look Ray I can explain . . . . " Serena started.
"WHERE ARE YOU ? I CALLED YOU AT HOME BUT NOBODY ANSWERED ?" She continued screaming.
"I'm at the arcade." She groaned realizing what she had just said.
"AT THE ARCADE !!!!! SERENA, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DISCUSS SAILOR BUSINESS, BUT HOW CAN WE IF OUR LEADER DOESN'T SHOW UP !" Serena pulled the phone away from her ear, she was gonna go deaf by the end of the phone call if Ray kept screaming at her.
"Ray, I got detention that's why I'm late, and you know I'm scared of thunder !" Serena said.
"ISN'T IT TYPICAL YOU TO GET DETENTION YOU PROBABLY FELL ASLEEP IN CLASS AGAIN !" Serena winced at the truthfulness of Rays words, but before Serena could say anything Ray continued. "You know Serena, you haven't been to the last four meetings, we've been talking about you. We all think its best that you resign as leader and let someone more responsible can handle the job. Me for example." Ray said, suprisingly she had stopped screaming.
There was a silence as the words sunk in.
"what do the others think ?" Serena asked quietly.
"We think its for the best, even Luna and Artimus think so." Came Amy's voice.
Serena froze, 'So they were all in on this, all except me !' she thought.
"YOU WRONG ! I DON'T NEED YOU ! I CAN HANDLE EVERYTHING ON MY OWN !"
With that Serena hung up the phone.
She leaned onto the phone booth. Tears after tears slid down her face, she tried to control herself but it was too much, she couldn't control the pain she felt.
"What is it this time Meatball Head, cant stand up in your own to feet ?" Came Darien's voice.
After everything that had happened today, she felt like she was gonna blow up. Slowly she turned to face Darien. For a minute she stared at his confused expression,
"DARIEN, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT !!! O.K. ? LLLEAVE MMME AAALONE !!!! I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU !!!! WHY CANT YOU LET ME BE ! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO PICK ON ME !!!!!! JUST BECAUSE I'M SMALLER THAN YOU DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN PICK ON ME !!!!!!" She screamed at him, sobbing she ran out of the arcade.
She faintly heard Darien calling her back. But still blinded by her tears she ran out to the street, running as fast as her feet could possibly take her.
Suddenly she stopped, something wasn't right. She wiped her tears trying to clear her vision, but there was a light that just became brighter. Finally managing to see clearly what was going on, she gasped. she was standing in the middle of a road and a lorry was coming towards her, very fast. just then thunder struck. She stood paralyzed in fear like a deer in headlights unable to move. 'I'm going to die' she thought as she closed her eyes.
the final thing she heard was Darien's voice, very close to her. "WATCH OUT MEATBALL HEAD" then she felt a force push her back and everything went black.
