I'm sure Serena have a perfectly good explanation," said Amy. Ray wanting to know what it is got to the point, "Well, Serena what's going on? Spill it!" "Well my Dad got offer a job in America so it seems like we're moving." "Oh great now whose gonna help me eat my lunch?" "Look at the bright side Lita. As least now you don't have to worry bout the kluntz here eating all of you're lunch." "Oh...come of it Ray! Now is not the time to tease Serena. We're gonna miss you so much when you're gone," said Mina as she hugs the girl. "You should really talk Ray. I saw you last week trying to bump into Darien on the sidewalk," tease Serena. "Ray got a crush on Darien! You never told us that!" gaspes Mina. "It was so funny. She was trying to bump into Dairen but her timing was way off. She ended up on the cement instead of his arms." Ray's cheek slightly redded with embarrassment. Then her eyes flicker with what seem like flames as she open her mouth, "Why Serena you know I would never try to steal you're precise Darien." "Darien and I are just friends,k? We've known each other since I was a baby so lay off!" Serena said with steam coming out of her nostrils. "Yeah whateer you say. You know he's you're BOYFRIEND." "Is not!" "Is too!" "Is not!" "Ah-huh!" "Na-ugh!" The rest of the girls watch on as their friends break out in a tough war,with sweatdrops forming at their heads. "Be quiet!!!!" Amy screamed. All the girls look at Amy in shock since she's never a loud person. Her cheeks started to turn slightly pink as she speaks, "I think you two need to stop fighting. This is Serena's last week here and I say lets have a sleepover with the five of us for the last time." "How cool! We haven't have one of those in a long time," squel Mina. "Sounds great guys but Ames this won't be the last time we'll have a sleepover together. I'll visite I promise." "I know. I'm just gonna miss you so much. You were my first real friend." "Ok!Ok! Enough with the emotional stuf. Lets talk about what we'll have to eat. I can make lasagna and salad for dinner and for dessert a double chocolate fudge cake," Lita trailed off. "Yeah and we can watch movies through the whole night. I'll bring the movies,k?" "Fine with me as long as you don't bring anything with you in it," said Ray. "Hey! What's wrong with my acting?" counter Mina. "NOTHING! Just that you tend to get carry away when we watch it that's all" Mina gave Ray a suspicious look. "Really!" said Ray giving Mina one of her patented trust me smile. "Well, my bus is here.Bye guys talk to you later!" "Bye Amy!" the others shouted in unison. "Hey! Mine is here too. Gotta book it! See ya later!" "Hold up! My is here too. Later guys." "Bye!" shouted Ray and Serena. Ray turned to Serena with a serious look as they watch their other friends get on their buses. "Earth to Serena!" Ray said waving her hand in front of Serena's face. "Oh...I'm sorry Ray what was it that you wanted to say?" "You know I'm gonna miss you so very much, right Serena?" Ray studder as tears threaten to overflow. "I'm gonna miss you too Ray. You know what I'll miss most? Our fights." With that she launch herself at Ray with one of her famous bear hugs. They broke apart after a few minutes and just stared at each others. Which ended up in a laughing fit. Ray suddenly changed to her serious expression and asked "Have you told Darien yet" Serena's face fell at the dreaded task was reminded. "No, I've been puting it off. I don't wanna tell him Ray! I can't bear to se the look on his face!" "Serena you have got to tell him sooner or later and it might as well be sooner." "I know. I know and I'll tell him as soon as I see him." "well,here he comes right now. I think I'll leave you two along. See ya!" "Ray come back here!" scream a frustrated Serena. Not only had Ray manage to make her tell Darien but also with out any suport what so ever. "Hey Rena! What's wrong? What happened to the sunny bright girl that I used to know?" said Darien with concern in his eyes. He had seen her and Ray laughing only a minute ago. Now she looks so sad. "Dare, I have something to tell you. I think you need to sit down for this." Darien look at the girl with unshed tears in her eyes and sat down on the patch of grass next to her. ***** "What!" yell Darien. "Lita reacted the same way," sigh Serena. "I can't believe this! Life with out my best friend. How am I suppose to survive?" said Darien in a far away voice. "Don't look at it that way Dare. We'll still be able to keep in touch." beg a crying Serena. "Don't cry Rena! I promise. I'll write everyday even if it kill me I'll write,k?" Tears were falling down her cheeks like a steady rain as he uses his fingers to wipe them away. "Look, Rena I promise I'll write, k?" Serena nodded her head at Darien assurance. "come on, I'll walk you home. Seems like we both miss our bus. How bout I treat you to a last lunch kinda thing, Saturday?" "Great!" said Serena with her spirit greatly brighten at the thought of having luch with her best guy friend. So the two walk down the street hand in hand. ***** (Next Saturday) A blong girl ran down the street not really looking at where she was going. ^^ Oh great! I hope I'm not late.^^ WHAM! She collided right into somebody. " mmm...I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going," apologize Serena. "Rena, it's me. I was coming to pick you up." said Darien with a suprise look. "Now. How about we go for that lunch I promise ya?" "Sounds great with me," she said,her eyese suddenly filled with stars. "Here Rena this is my address so you'll be able to write me," Darien handed her a folded piece of paper with a red rose to top it off. "Oh...thank you Dare. The rose look so pretty. I can't give you y address yet. Cus well, we don't know where we'll be staying till we get over there. I send you my address through the mail,k?" replied a starry eye Serena. **She look so peaceful sitting there,twirling the rose in her hand. Strange how we grew on each other and now my other half is going away.** Darien shock his head of the thoughts and procede to start a conversation with Serena. "So waht are you doing this afternoon?" "The girls and I are having a sleep over at Ray's temple." He was dissappointed at the answer but didn't know why. "Well, seems like it's time for me to get you over to the temple." With that he stood out of his side of the booth, bow down, and said, "Are you ready my ladt?" with a British accent. Serena giggled and took Darien's hand. Then the two walk out into the street. heading for Ray's temple. ***** "This is so great! Thanks for all the presents you guys," said Serena. "You're welcome. It's no big deal since we love you so much. Besides we owe ya for all the gret gifts you gave us," replied Mina. "Oh....I'm gonna miss you guys so much," squel Serena. Them she went all out on a cry-a-thon. "Can the dramatic!!!!" said Ray as she threw a pillow at Serena. "PILLOW FIGHT!!!!!" screamed Lita as everyone desperately trys to grab hold of a pillow. The girls went at each others with palyful spirits. Their laughing could be heard all the way down the street. ***** (3 years later) A blond headed girl with a really weird hairstyle ran down the street and bumped right into a perfect stanger. A quite handsome stranger I might add. "Oh..I'm sooo sorry. I was looking at were I was going," said the girls with her head down for shame. "Then maybe you should look next time. So you wouldn't bump into innocent bystanders like me!" said the guy. ***Woah...where did that came from? I'm not usually this mean.*** Ragges of anger filled Serena head. ***Who does this guy think he is! The King! I said I was sorry!*** "I said I was sorry,k! Mr. Oh So Arrogant!" She looked up at him with anger in her eyes and came to be struck by a deep blue pairs of eyes. He looked at her and was at once captured by her ocean blue eyes. They stood there staring at each other for waht seem like forever. Their eyes broke it off and she turned her head the other way and walked down the streets.***There is something so familiar about that guy.*** You would have expected the guy to be on his way now , but he was leaning against the wall, watching her walk away, till he could no longer see her.***Who was that girl? Those eyes, they seem so familiar.*** ***** Four girls sit a booth waiting for their friend to show up. "I wonder where Serena is?" said a concern Amy. "Trust it to Serena to always be late for a meeting of any sort." "It's beeen so long since we've seen her Ray. No fighting today,k?" pleaded Mina. "If Rena doesn't show up the food gonna get cold!" sigh Lita. "Oh....sorry guys...huff....huff...huff...hold on let me catch my breath. Ok. I would have been here sooner but I ran into a really big jerk and that delay me getting here.SORRY!" apologize Serena. "That's ok Rena, now how about get dig into that delicious food." ***** ***Oh...I can't wait! Tomorrow is the first day of school. I wonder what ever happened to Darien? He never answered any of my letters. If I ever see him again, boy he's gonnaget one big lecture from me. Of all the nerves! Promising me he'll write and he never even thought of answering any of my letters.*** "Serena it's time to go to be. I don't want you to be late for the first day of school tomorrow." "Yes,Mom!" ***** "Doorbell! Serena get that will ya?" cried Mrs.Tsukino. "K, mom! Hi Lita! Whatcha doing here?" Serena asked. "Well, I came so we can walk to school together." "Cool, just hold on for a sec. I need to get my backpack." "K, I'm ready to go. Bye Mom!" cried Serena. The girls walk down the street of Tokyo. Lita was filling Serena in on everything that she have missed. "Lita? What ever happened to Darien after I left?" "You mean ya'll didn't keep in touch!?!?" "No,I've tried writing to him but he never wrote back. So I stop after awhile." "Oh...Rena...he was sent to a boarding school in the States after you left. ***So that's why he never answer my letters.*** Serena snap back to reality as more information about Darien was spilled. "But I heard from Mina that he's back home to finish off his junoir and senoir years here. Just like you are." "What! So you mean he's gonna be here with us!" "Yeah girl,what's wrong I thought you would be happy to hear that?" asked Lita. *** I wonder has he changed or is he still the same. I hope we can still be friends again like back then.*** "Hey guys wait up!" Mina shouted at the two girls in front of her. "Hey Mina!" "Woah hottie alert!" "Where Lita? Where!" "Right there! The guy in front of us with black hair and oh so dreamy blue eyes. He look just like my old boyfriend. Only better cus my old boyfriend dumped me!" "You have got to be kidding Lita! That's the jerk I ran into yesterday!" "Well, you sure choose some very hunky guys to run into don't ya Serena?!?!" "He IS a hottie! I hope he goes to our school!" said a starry eyes Mina. "Oh come on he's a jerk! Lets get going before we're late for class." ***** "I'm so glad we're in the same homeroom Lita. I would have die with out anyone to talk too," said a very nervous Serena. "Yeah Rena. I feel the same way. Too bad the others aren't in here too!" "Hey Lita!" shout a tall brown hair guy. "Oh..hi ken how ya doing?" Lita ask casually as if she's one of them already. "Fine,whose you're new friend?" "New nothing! This my long time buddy Serena. She moved away 3 years ago but now she's back to finish the rest of high school here." "Nice to meet ya Serena. The name is Ken." extending his hands out to Serena. Serena took it and gave it a good hearty shake. "Same here Ken." "You know you're story sounds a lot like Darien's over here," he pointed to his friend for the first time. "Hi! the name's Lita and this in my friend Rena." "I thought you said the her name was Serena?" ask Ken. Lita gave Ken an annoyed smile and procede to explain. "It's Rena for short." As all this was happening Serena just stood there looking dazed. ***Darien? This guy was Darien! So that's wrong he seem so familiar. It can't be through this was the same jerk I bumped into yesterday!*** Serena came back to reality as Darien say, "You know that has got to be the funniest hairdo I've ever seen. It looks like two giant meatballs.." *** Oops....there I go again. Being mean to this poor girl. Wait! Did Ken say Rena? Oh...god this girl is Rena. No wonder she looks so familiar.*** "Meatballs! At least it's unique! Mr. I have a hairstyle that 5 million other people have." Darien face turned red but he quickly controlled his emotins and went on teasing her. "Yeah whatever you say Meatball Head." "Ugh...you are such a stupid jerk! You...." "Alright class settle down." the teacher tried desperately to get the class to be quiet. "You what?" Darien taunted Serena with an arrogant look upon his face. "You are an ARROGANT CONCEITED JERK!!!!!" Serena look around the classroom to find everyone's eyes on her. Her cheeks turn crimson red. "Alright class. I'm taking the role now. When I call you're name just say here or present when I call you're name." "Rena, what was that all about?" "Lita that guy just infuriates me! How dare he called me meatball head, after not writing me back after all this time!" "Whoa....back up..you think this guy is your Darien. As in your best guy friend Darien.?" "Yes, I think that's him. I know those eyes and remember what Mina said. He's back in town." "Darien Smith" "Here!" "What I tell ya. That's Darien." "I can't believe this. Ya'll used to be best friends and now you're fighting constantly." ***** The girls are sitting under a tree eating their lunch. There was a big debet about why Serena hates Darien so much. That was until Ray put in her two cents, saying that like him. By then there was a big uproar from Serena protesting all the way. "Don't even start with me Ray. I hate that guy to death. There is no way that I could possibly have feelings for him." "I think you use hate just as a cover up for your true emotions toward him." "Ames listen to me! There is no way that I could like Darien. He's a big jerk and he teases me too much. Besides that I hate his guts." "That brings me to my next point. You get too work up over what he thinks of you. In 3rd grade when Nick teased ya, you simply punch his light out." "Yeah! I totally agree with Lita. I mean Darien's really nice to everyone. You're the only one he tease. I think he got a crush on you." "But Mina....like you say I'm the only one he teases. So that means he hates me and I hates him." "So if he doesn't hate you but instead like you, would you like him?" "MINA!!!!!!!!" "Hye! There's Amy with the rest of the girls. How about we go sit with them?" said a fairly handsome guy with brwon hair name Greg Summer. "Are you serious! Meatball head is sitting with them! I don't wanna sit with her" "I'm sure the feeling is mutual with her. Really Darien you are acting like a 5 year old around that girl." "Andrew's right! Why are you acting so immature around Serena. I swear you two use to be friends before she moved away." " The key words here Ken are "WERE FRIENDS" k!" "Whatever the reason is, lets go sit with them. Before all the other guys in our school gets that idea, said an anxious Chad. "May we sit down ladies?" ask Andrew in the corniest voice ever. Which made Mina'a eyes filled with stars. "Sure, why not," said Lita, praying that Serena and Darien wouldn't get into a big fight. Immediately after the guys sat down, it seem like everyone pair. Everyone that is except Serena and Darien. Amy and Greg was discussing homeworks. Andrew and Mina were simply just flirting away with each others. Ray and Chad were in a heated disputed about which type of music is better;rock or R+B. Lita an Ken were simply talking. Since they've known each other since forever. "So what are you doing tonight Amy?" Greg ask looking very nervous and scare. "Oh...mmm...I'm studing tonight. I'm really behind in class." ***Why did I said that. STUPID!! I knew he was gonna ask me out. Now I blew it. He'll probably think I'm not interested*** "Ohhhh....I bet you're already ahead of the calss, aren't you,Amy?" "Yeah, but I'm only ahead by 7 chapters and my goal is 14." ***God! The girl rather study then go on a date with me, how depressing. She probably think I'm a boring person and only see me as a friend.*** "How many guys have asled you ot already,Mina?" "Oh...I don't know" counting her fingers "about a dozen. I'm just kidding! Don't give me that face!" "No really, how many?" "None. NOt the ones that matter anyhow." ***Maybe he'll take the hint and ask me out. I've been flirting with him since he move here and he still haven't taken the hint!*** "Really...so which one do count?" ***Was that a sign for me to just go for it? No.No way. Why would she want me? She's so beautiful and nice. She can have any guy she want. Oh gosh! I'm dreaming again.*** "No way Chad! R+B is way better than rock." "I don't think so Ray. Rock is the coolest music out there." ***What does Chad have to be such an idiot. Rock suck! Then again this is Chad what did I expect.*** "Rock have been dead for a long time now. Now days it's R+B and pop. ***I wonder what she'll say if O kidd her? Better no. I don't want to get on her bad side. She'll probably run me off with a broom.*** "So how are you and Mark doing?" Mark is Lita's on again and off again boyfriend, that she never seem to get completely over. "Fine." ***Just fine. Except I think he's cheating on me and the thing is I don't even care!*** "reallyKen I'll never figure out how guys can be so weird! What about you and Cassey?" Cassey is Mark's one and only. "Great actually!" ***She's been busy a lot lately but that's ok.*** "Lita, what did you mean by how guys can be so weird?" "Well, look at it this way. In homeroom, Darien was acting like a complete jerk toward Rena and then when she's not around,he's sweet as pie!" "If this wasn't Darien, I say he have a crush on Serena. But it is Darien and he never have crushes on anyone." "I know but I think he like Rena." "He sure have a strange way of showing it." "Hey Meatball Head! Why aren't you eating your lunch?" "The name is Serena. Not meatballs, not meatball head, not anything except for Serena!" "Like I said why aren't you eating your lunch meatball head?" "Ugh....the sight of your face made me lost my appetite!" "Then you wouldn't mind me eating your ice cream bar?" said a sly Darien as he grabs Serena ice cream. "HEY! Give that back! You conceited jerk!" "No way! You said you weren't hungry. So why let good food go to waste." Daien was holding the ice cream high above his head. Serena was desperately jumping up and down between yelling at Darien trying to the ice cream in vain. Dairen was a full head taller than her. If you have look at him you wouldn't thought he was a model. The guy was 6'2 (pretty tall for a junoir huh?)witha thick silky hair and the deepest blue eyes you'll ever see. Combine that with broad shoulders,muscles,and a mysterious air, that made jsut about every girl swoon over him except for Serena of course. Serena on the other hand was 5'8,with a a smile that could brighten anyone's bad day. She have long golden hair that was put up into 2 balls on top of her head with rivers of hair streaming from them. Her eyes are of ocean blue and she have the body that any girl would kill for. If you didn't know the two you would've thought they make a cute couple. Tall,dark, and handsome with a beautiful sunny girl. If you know them you wouldn't even go there. They will kill you for even thinking of such a thing. Of course all the commotion Serena was making brought the others attention to them."Stop it you two! So you realize that everyone is staring at you!" shouted Lita. ***God this what I was afraid of. Those two have got to get it together.*** All of a sudden everyone bursted out laughing,excluding Serena and Darien. "What's so funny,huh? Fine! Laugh all you want. See if I care. I'm outta here!" said Serena with a hurt look on her face. "Wait! Serena where are you going?" ask Amy trying hard not to laugh at her friend. "To the library." "Why?" "I wanna start on my research paper." "It's not due till next month!" I know, but I heard the student librarian is way cute! Gotta go check him out. See ya later." ***Cute! The ance face punk is not cute. Her taste sure is scew up. If that punk dare touches my Rena...my Rena?...ok I'm losing it. This is not the same girl I grew up with. She has changed a lot. The changes aren't necessarily bad though. She sure is more beautiful than ever. Get a grip Darien! This is Rena no Serena we're talking about.*** ***** "Ok...class. The Valentine Dance is coming up and our class is sponsoring it this year. Unfortunately everyone is on some sorta commitee except for two person. Serena, Darien since you two are the only ones who aren't in a commitee, you two will be working on the dance together. Meet me after class and we can discuss it some more." The teacher held up his hand as Serena and Darien were about to protest. "After class." "I can't work with him! said an angry Serena. They have been discussing about whether Serena and Darien should work together or not. "She's right! I hate her,she hates me. We're not compatible. We're ruin the Valentine Dance. "Darien,Serena I whether you two get along or not. There is always a time in life when we have to work with people we don't like. So deal with it! We are five months into the school term. It wouldn't kill ya to get along. Beside the would be a great opportunity for you teo to get to know each other. You'll make a great couple. once you stop the fighting." "WHAT!!!!" shouted the two in unison. The teacher gave a soft chuckle and left the room. ***** "I don't see why you're complaining. A lot of girls would kill to be with Darien Smith for two months." "Ray, they don't have to kill me. I'll gladly hand over this position." "Ohhhh come on Serena. You mean you're not ga-ga-goo-goo over him?" teased Mina "Believe it or not I don't even like him." "I'm getting hungry. How about we go for lunch?" said Lita with a hand over her growling stomach. "Yeah! I'm hungry. Why don't we go for lunch. It's 1:15 already," said Amy as she checks her watch. "OH NO!!! I was suppose to meet Darien at the arrcade at 1:00. Man, is he gonna grill me. Well, gotta jet guys. Bye!." All the girls watch Serena ran down the street like there's no tomorrow. "That's Serena. You can always count on her to be late for an appointment." "True Ray but she our Rena and I wouldn't take her any other way. Now how about lunch?" her mind being shift back to lunch because of her stomach growling. ***** "I'm so sorry Darien. I forgot about the time." apologize Serena with her head down. *** How does she manage that? Making you forget you're angry at her. She look so cute standing ther in her sun dress.*** "That's ok meat..Serena." Darien cup her chin in his hand and rise it to meet his own. "Look at me Serena. I know why you were late. You're were too busy bragging to your friend that you get to spend two months with me." "WHAT!!!! Why you conceited self-centered jerk! I would never in my life!" ***Annoying fag. He can be prince charming one minute and a frog the next.*** "Look Darien. Lets be professional about this." ***I love making her mad. She looks so adorable. Back up...what am I thinking. This is Serena here. Yeah, but she used to be Rena remember? UGH!!!!! Now my mind is going bonker.*** "Lets get to the point Darien. You and I know that we both hates each others to death." ***You do but I dion't.*** "So lets just finish this thing as soon as possible." "Fine with me Re....Serena. Lets start by deciding what we want the dance to be like." ***Re...say it Dare. Say it so that I know you still remember me. Dam! why didn't you say it.*** ***** Lita walked down the street in a haze. ***How could Mark do this to me. We have been dating for two years and now he's cheating on me with that slut, Cassey! I wonder does Ken know? Oh...he's gonna be so upset. He really thought she was the ONE.*** She walk through the park toward the gazebo. This was her heaven whenever she bad,that was the place she would go. No as she sit down on the bench, she couldn't hold it back anymore and brokedown. Sitting there crying out all the tears of anger,hatred,and just plain self-pity made her felt a lot better. Suddenly she felt the presense of a pair of strong warm arms surrounding her. Lita didn't have to look up to know who it was. She already know it was ken. ***So Cassey had called and told him too. He's in so much pain and yet he's here comforting me.*** Lita cling to Ken and cry herself out on his dhoulder. Through all this Ken held her tightly and gently stroke her long brown hair that was out of it usual ponytail. ***** Amy was sitting up in her room studying. Well, at least she was trying to study. The images of this afternoon keep playing back over in her mind. She had thought studying would keep it off her mind. Evidently it didn't work or else she wouldn't be thinking abouti t right now. Amy was at the library with Greg one of their usual study sessions,that they have. Of course these and was different from the usual one. For Greg had actually gather up enough courage to make a move on Amy. She was looking through the shelves for a phydic book when Greg arms came up from behimd her. His arms slowly but surely embraced Amy's waist. He pulled her close to him which coat Amy to turned crimson red. She got out of there at lightning speed. ***Why didn't I stay. Wasn't that what I've been dreaming that Greg would do? I really blew it this time. He will never try that again! I wouldn't blame him. Oh...Ames what have you done. I need the girls advice, maybe a sleepover.*** ***** "Chad!! Would you shut up with that singing!" shouted Ray with a broom in hand ready to beat him down if keeps on singing. "K, whatever Aray. I'm just feelin lucky tonight. Got a date with Kathy Sames." explain Shad as he tries desperately to knot the tie. Ray's face at once with the mention of Chad dating another girl. ***What! He never told me he was interested in Kathy! Guys can't even knot a tie right!*** "Here let me help ya with that. So when have we been dating Kathy?" "Yesterday. I asked her out yesterday."Chad siad matter of factly. *** After I got tired of waiting for you. Did her face jsut fell when I mentioned Kathy? No, no stop dreaming Chad. She'll never give me a chance. She's smart,funny, and beautiful. What would she want with a guy likw me. Might as well try to forget her now before I fall deeper into the hole.*** ***Great now Chad's dating Kathy. It's gonna be lonely tonight. Maybe I should call the guys. We can do something.*** ***** Mina drop herself down upon the stood in the arcade. *** This has got to the most boring day of the year. I can't find anybody to spend the day with.*** "What's wrong Mina? Why do you seem so down?" a concern Andrew ask. *** I'm down cus after all this time you still haven't ask me out!*** "Oh...it's nothing. I'm just bore that's all." "It's something if it makes you so sad. How about I treat you to a sundea on my break?" "Sure!!" Mina face lights up at the thought of spending some time with Andrew. "So...Mina who are you going to the dance with?" ask Andrew over his sundea. "I don't know. The guy I wanted to go with haven't ask me out." "OH" then there was a long akward silence between them. "Well,mmm...see...I was thinking...that you..mmmm...wannagotothedancewithme?" asked Andrew really fast. After all this time he had finally found the guts to ask her out. "Oh...yes,yes! I thought you'll never ask!!" cried Mina. ***** "No, Darien. This is a Valentine Dance not somebody's funeral. Why do you have to be so dark and gloomy?" ask a exasperated Serena. "So, let me guess you want everything to be red and heart shape huh?" "No! I was thinking more in term of pastel colors to create a soft romantic mood." "Not bad. Not bad at all.Come on lets go sample the foods. So we can decide what kind of food we want at the dance." Darien grad Serena by the hand and drag her to a table filled with countless samples of food. "Let start with the drinks," Darien said handing her two cups with different punch in them. "So whatcha think? Punch a or punch b?" ask Serena while she sample the drinks herself. "A. Definately A" "Yeah I agree." They continue like that through countless numbers of food. "Ah...finally the last item of the tray, finger sandwiches," sigh an exhausted Darien. Serena pop one into her mouth, "Hey! These are good! Try some Darien," offering Darien a sandwich. "Serena, don't you see that my hands are full trying to clean up this place!" "Then I guess you'll have to open up cus these sanwich are coming in for a landing." Well, Serena miss calculated or something because beside the sandwich her fingers were also in his mouth. She quickly retrieve her fingers before thing could go any farther than they needed to be. They were silent for a moment until Darien broke it. " These sandwich aren't as good as you said they are." "Oh...really." said Serena as she slowly walk up to Darien. "You know.."she ran her fingers through his silky hair. *** Ah..poor Darien he look so tense.*** Darien was finding it very hard to breath by now. "You can be so.." "mmm...Serena...we have a meeting with the caterer at 7:00...we should now if we wanna make it on time. "Sooooo" her hands were slowly trailing down Darien face, tracing his good feature. "What are we waiting for lets go!" she left a stun Darien behind as she heads for the door. ***Women! I'm never gonna understand them. Especially this girl.*** ***** "Hi Ames! What sup?" said Serena over the phone line. "Sleepover? Your place?K I'll be right over." "Hey mom I'm going over to Ames for a sleepover,k?" She grab her, shoot down the stairs, and out the door. ***** "And now he probably nevr wanna see me again!" said a crying Amy between sobs. "Oh..Amy I'm sure he'll ask yo out again." "No, Mina I blew. I really blew it this time." "Amy listen to me. It didn't matter if he'll ask you out or not. Cus next time around you'll ask him ou!" said Lita. "Huh?" "Look Amy. The guy is probably scare to ask ya. So you make the first move this time." "That sounds easier said then done Lita. I don't know how to flirt." "Oh...that's easy. One lesson with me and you'll be a pro." said Mina shamelessly. "Thank guys!" "So Ray...I heard Chad is dating Kathy Sames." said Lita with concern all over her face. "Yeah! So.." "We were ...wondering how you feel about it?" "Fine! Just fine." "Oh come on" tease Mina "aren't you even a tad mad?" "Not really!" *** I'm not mad just hurt.*** "Ray, thruthfully di you care for him at all?" ask Serena. She was really comcern now that the fires in Ray's eyes went up a notch when Chad was mention. "Well...I..don't know!" "What do you mean don't know?" the other girls shouted in unison. "At first he was just Chad but now....I don't know. When I heard he was seeing Kathy I just lost it! I felt so jealous but I don't even know why!" "Oh oh I know why," shouted an enthusiatic Serena. "Ok, smarty pants. Why?" "You like hi!" "Does not!" "Face it Ray! You got the hots for Chad!" "You think so?" "I know so." "OK, I'm not going listen to meatball head over here only." "Hey I resent that!" scream Serena trying to look hurt but instead ended up laughing. "You got the hots for Chad all right." the others girls assure Raya in unison. "Ok. Maybe I do just a little." ***Leave it to the rest of the girls to sort out my feelings when I don't even know them.*** "Since you know so about people's feeling. What exactly is your felling toward Darien, Meatball head?" tease Ray. "Pure hatred of course!" said Serena flatly. "Serena are you for real? After working with him and everything, you still hate him?" ask Mina. The thought of what happened that afternoon brought a bright red to Serena's face. "I knew it!"shouted Lita "You like him!" "No I don't. Really how can I like him? He's so mean and so cute." All the girls look wide eyed at their friend. "What did I say?" "You said he's cute," tease Ray. "Like Lita and I said earlier you uses hate to hide your feeling for him." "Really SerenaI don't see why u can't just except the fact that you like him," cut in Lita. "OK! OK! So I like him but he hates me so it's never gonna happen. Besides it not like I'm madly in love with him." "Ok,Mina you're next. Since we seem to be anylasing everyone's problems tonight." said Serena eager to get off the subject of Darien. "No problems here girl. Andrewjust asled me to the Valentine Dance." squel Mina. "Oh..so he finally tool the hint, huh?" tease Lita. "What a bunch we make huh? 3 seeking for love, Mina got Andrew and Lita got Mark." said Ray trying to stop laughing from Serena's klutz attack. Lita's face fell at once at the name of Mark. The girls stop laughing as they saw Lita's sad face. "I'm so sorry Lita. Did I said anything wrong?" gasped Ray. "I'm fine. Apparently he like Cassey better than me. So he split." "Hold on Cassey? As in Ken's girlfriend?" "Yep Rena that's the one. The weird thing is that I don't even care. I'm just worry for Ken though. I love him so much and he seem so depressed at the moment." "Lita do you love Ken in a brotherly or a boyfriend way?" ask Amy causiously. "I don't know...he was always there for me and I always care for hi, But now I just feel so much more for him." "Hey! What was that for?" as a pillow flys across the room hitting Amy right in the head. "Pillow fight!" shouted Lita as everyone tries to grab a pillow. Pillows and goose feathers were everywhere as five girls played through the night. ***** ***Well, there's Greg. Remember to make the first move. Oh god. I can't. No! I have to do this if I ever want to get together with Greg. Heere I go!*** "Hi Greg. May I sit down?" "Sure Amy" "Amy I'm really sorry for what happened last time. I..I..don't know what came over me. I just thought...well I just.." "Shut up GReg and kiss me!" Amy grab Greg's shirt and pull him to her. She then gave him a deep passionate kiss. (Go Amy!) ***** "Wake up Chad! We have a lot of work to do!" holler Ray. "Ok! Ok! I'm up. So where you lat night Ray? I cam home but I couldn't find you." "I was at a sleepover. I took it from the grin on your face that you had a great time last night?" ***God,l he even looks adorable when he just wakes up.*** "Yah, Kathy's a mice girl." "You taking her to the dance?" "No I rather take you," mutter Chad at an almost unheardable voice. ***Did I hear right? Maybe I do have a chance after all.*** "What did you say?" "Nothing. Nothing at all." "No Chad You said something and I wanna know what!" ***Might as well tell her. If she so determine to find out.*** "Ray, I have feelings for you! I love you, I wanna take you to the dance. I wanna give you the world but I can only give you my heart! There I said it! Laugh! Laugh all you want! "Chad I could never laugh at you." She flung herself into his arms and he gave her a kiss that sent electric shocks up and down their spine. "So is that a yes for the dance?" " I don't know..." teased Ray. ***** Lita was siting at the gazebo again. Thinking about Ken and whether what the girls said was true or not. "Hello Lita." "HI Ken." "You wanna go for a walk?" "Sure why not." The two headed down the forest trail side by side. "Lita? "Yeah?" "I'm really sorry about the whole Mark and Cassey thing. I know you're hurting inside. Just know that you'll always have me." "Don't be sorry it's not your fault besides I 'm not hurting." ***Not over him*** The two were to busy talking to noctic that a tree root has grown into the trail. Lita tripped on it. Expecting to hit the ground she closed her eyes but instead of dirt she felt a pair of strong arms around her. The two were really in an awkard postion. Ken's arm were wrapped tightly around her waist, not willing to let go of her just yet. Lita's hand were hung around Ken's neck. At that moment they realize the feeling they thought were friendship was actually love. "Ken I have something to tell you" "me too" "Oh..k..you go first." "Well, I rather show ya." He bent his head down looked into Lita's eyes and gave her a long mystifying kiss. "So what was it that you wanted to tell me?" "That I love you" Ken laught and it ring through out the forest. "I love you too Lita." ***** "Wow! So you just kiss him? I can't believe this. I"m so happy for you Ames" "Thanks Serena. So how are you and Darien doing?" Serena's face kinda fell for a moment. "We're the same. Same old same old. Hey Ames I gotta go K? Talk to ya later. It looks like I won't make it ot the dance k? Bye!" Click. She hang up the phone before Amy could say anything.***It seem like everyone got someone but me. Funny, never thought I coulds fall Darien. This is depressing. Think I'll go for a walk. She was walking down the street thinking Darien. She have been doing htat a lot lately. BAME!! She walk right into somebody. "Watch it Meatball head!" yell Daien. " Sorry Darien," she said and walk on. *** Woah what's wrong with her? She didn't scream at me for calling her meatball head. Something must be seriously wrong.*** "Hey! Serena wait up!" Instead of waiting for him she just ran to the park. ***That girl!*** Of course with Darien right behind her. She finally came to a halt and sat under a big oak tree. Their oak tree to be exact. They used to climb it when they were younger. "Rena what's wrong?" asked Darien really concern now. He's truly worry about by now. "Don't you even dare call me Rena!" "WHAT!!!!" "You write for 3 fucking years and still expects to be able to call me Rena?!?! "What about you? You never wrote me!" They were at yelling decimals now. "I did too! So many times that it hurts! And you never evne wrote back!" " I never evne got the damn letters!" "Man! I'm outta here!" said Serena. She was crying openly now. *** Who cares if he see.*** "Oh no you don't," Darien grab her by the wrist and pulled her close to him really close. "Let me go! Dare let me go this instance!" She tries to wiggle free but it was no use. He had his arms around her now and wasn't about to her her go till she listen to what he had to say. "Not before you give me a chance to explain myself." "What is there to explain. I'm nothing to you!" "I swear Rena if you don't let me I will never let you go." "Fine! You wanna explain go ahead." "I never got your letters. My baby sister got to it before I did. So they ended up in the trash." "You don't have a baby sister!"L she hiss. "I do now. You should visite more often Mama misses your company. I miss your company, you're everything. I have love you since forever and always will." "If you love me than why did you tease me so much. Is this same kina of sick joke to you? To play with my heart like this! So then you can go tell your laugh at my stupidity cus I'm falling for lines!" " It's not a joke! I honestly love you. I don't know why I tease ya. No one can make me lose condtrol like that except for you." "You really care? I go through everyday thinking everyone have someone except me. I'm so afraid if I let myself go now I might fall and never get up again. Do you really love me like you say you do?" "I love you with all my heart Rena. I would never try to hurt you intentionally. And you're not alone you got me. I need you to trust me Rena. Don't push it away just because you're afraid. You're free to go now." His arms reluctently remove itself form her waist. I don't wanna go." a smile slowly crept up on her face. His arms found themself on her waist once more. " So would you mind if I do this?" he kissed her with all the love he had kept inside for so long. When they broke it off they were both beaming with the light of the moon shining on them. "I took that as a no?" Darien tease. The End. So what do you think? Good,bad,or is it the worst fanfic you have ever read, Send all comments,suggestions, or flames to BluCrescent@hotmail.com.
