Everything's Changed

Juuban Municipal High School

While everyone was nervously awaiting the results of the English test, Serena Tsukino was busy drawing a manga she was working on for the past few weeks. As she was doing this, three of her friends were observing her and were perplexed at this.

Amy Mizuno, the genius blunette sitting behind her, was happy that her carefree friend was taking her studies seriously within the past month; however, she was also concerned about the blonde's behavior. Within a few days after Galaxia's defeat, her best friend started studying, doing homework, and taking art and martial arts classes. She went from being a girl who hated studying to save her life to someone who now takes it to heart. Amy tried to shrug it off that maybe she was trying to improve as a leader of the senshi and future queen, but she somehow couldn't.

On her right sat Lita Kino, the powerhouse of the Senshi. She also knew her fun-loving friend had changed beyond belief when she tasted some of Serena's foods at their study group. Yeah, the food was delicious, but she was surprised at what it was. First, she had made Quinoa Salad the first week. Yeah, it was great, but the Serena she knew would rather fight Beryl's forces again than eat vegetables. Also, like Amy, she was shocked that Serena was learning to fight. She used to barf at the idea of training, but now she's training at a gym and barely sees her.

To the left was Mina Aino, the love Senshi. As she looked at Serena drawing at her desk, her mind was scrambling. Up until a month ago, all she could think about was Darien, especially when Galaxia killed him, and she didn't know it. Now, the bond between the future king and queen of Crystal Tokyo was all but gone, like it was never there. Mina had wanted to talk to them to see what was going on, but neither of them had the time.

When the teacher rose from her desk, papers in hand, she went down the aisles and handed each student their graded tests.

When school ended, Serena walked out the building with her school bag and duffel containing her gym clothes. Since there was no homework in either of her classes, today, she planned to add in some Kendo with her Karate. She was about to start walking the few blocks to the gym when someone called out her name.

"Serena, wait up!"

Turning around, she saw Mina running towards her with Amy and Lita not that far behind.

"What's up, guys?" Serena asked, crossing her arms.

After catching her breath, the love Senshi was the first to speak. "How'd you do on the test?"

"I got a 92," She smiled, pulling it out for them to see before turning to walk away.

As she was walking, the smile she had shown her friends quickly faded. Yeah, she was happy she had improved her studies lately, but she had something else on her mind than her grades.

A few days after Galaxia's defeat, the odango-haired teen had been having dreams about her past life and was shocked at the turn of events. It showed that Queen Serenity, the woman she thought was her mother, was really her aunt and that the queen had a daughter of her own, who was the princess while she, herself, was her cousin and Lady-in-Waiting.

When she first had this dream, she tried to brush it off as that; however, she still kept having them and more events started popping up as the days progressed. She then realized gradually that these occurring dreams were in fact memories, somehow, but after seeing that Darien wasn't her love as she originally thought, her feelings for him had changed. It was like she never loved him in the first place.
