2 MAGICAL GIRLS & A GODDESS - A Sailor Moon/Pretty Sammy/Oh My Goddess fanfic
MYSTERY DATE - CHAPTER 1 - "LUCK OF THE DRAW"
Serena, her five friends, and their boyfriends converge in Lita's apartment, sitting around in the living room, chatting away, while munching on snacks and drinking Calpis water and UCC canned coffee.
"Hey, everyone, I've got an idea", announces Mina with her hand raised, "why don't we date each other's boyfriends for just one night?"
"Do you think it's a good idea?", wonders Ami.
"I think it will be fun", grins Raye, "one of us will get a dream, and the other, a date".
"Just like 'Mystery Date', the old board game?", asks Molly.
"You got it", answers Lita.
The doorbell rings. "Hey guys, I'll go get it", says Lita as she leaves to answer the door.
"Wonder who would that be?", wonders Serena, "maybe one of her old boyfriends?"
Lita opens the door and is greeted by Belldandy, the new transfer student. "Oh, hi, Belldandy", smiles Lita, "glad you can make it".
"I'm glad to be here, Lita", smiles Belldandy, "thank you for inviting me".
"Hey come on in", says Lita as Belldandy enters in, "hey everyone, this is Belldandy. She's the new transfer student, and our newest friend. Give her a warm welcome".
"Hi, Belldandy!", everybody greets in unison.
"Hello, everyone", nods Belldandy, "glad to meet all of you", then turns to Lita, "did I miss anything?"
"Well, we were getting ready to play a live action version of MYSTERY DATE", says Lita.
"Um, what's MYSTERY DATE?", wonders Belldandy.
"Well, our version is that we put the names of our boyfriends inside sealed envelopes", explains Lita, "all us girls picks an envelope at random, and whatever name we choose, we have to go on a date with that guy".
"Oh, sounds like so much fun", smiles Belldandy.
"It sure is", chimes in Mina, "hey, Bell, would you like to do the honors in making up the envelopes?"
"Yes, Belldandy, could you please do that?", asks Amy.
"Really, me?", wonders a surprised Belldandy.
"That would be really cool if you could, Belldandy", adds Raye.
"Yeah, Miss Belldandy", says Chad, "I wish you could participate. I would definately like to take you to a great rock club".
"Oh, I'm very flattered", blushes Belldandy, "but i'll sit this one out. Besides, 7 girls to 6 guys wouldn't be very good odds".
"She's right", nods Darien, "it wouldn't be fair to the odd girl out".
"Maybe Lita could've invited one of her boyfriends tonight to even the odds", giggles Serena.
"I believe we can fix that", grins Raye as she turns to Serena, "Ok, Serena, how about you volunteer to sit this one out?"
"Why don't you sit this one out, Raye?", barks Serena.
"Oh, no, it's quite alright", assures Belldandy, "I'll just make the envelopes".
"Alright, cool", smiles Lita, "the writing tablet and envelopes are in the kitchen. Would you care for anything to eat or drink?"
"A can of UCC coffee", smiles Belldandy, "Don't worry, I can get it myself from the fridge if you don't mind".
"Not all all, Bell", grins Lita.
"Well, I'm going to do into the kitchen now to make them up", says Belldandy, "By the way, what are the names of the guys?"
Lita hands Belldandy the list of the guys' names. "Here you go, Bell. These are the names that you'll be using".
"Thank you, Lita", smiles Belldandy, "I'll be back in a minute". She turns to the kitchen.
"She seems like a very nice & friendly girl", says Greg.
"And very gorgeous, too", adds Ken.
"I hope you guys didn't object if I invited her over", asks Lita.
"It's no problem at all, Lita", smiles Amy.
"Yes, I'm glad she stopped over", adds Molly.
"Wonder if she likes prune milk shakes", wonders Melvin.
"I highly doubt that, Melvin", answers Serena, "she probably likes either Chocolate or Vanilla".
"But if she'll let you", adds Andrew, "you can teach her how to surf the net".
"Say, Lita", wonders Raye, "do you think one of your old boyfriends will want to date Belldandy?"
"Say, if one of them won't", Chad chimes in, "I'll take her out".
"Talk about Beauty & The Beast", mutters Serena to herself, "the first thing he'd take her is to one of those rock clubs in the Kanto District".
Belldandy returns from the kitchen with 6 sealed envelopes, which one of the girls will choose from for their game of MYSTERY DATE.
"Ok, girls", announces Mina, "Belldandy has in her hand 6 sealed envelopes, each with a name of our boyfriends inside. All us girls will pick an evelope and whoever's name is inside the envelope, will have to go on a date with him".
"Sounds good to me", says Raye, "are you sure any of Lita's old boyfriends would like to play?"
"Oh, Raye", blushes Lita.
"Well, you know, the more the merrier", adds Serena.
"Alrighty! Is everybody ready?", wonders Mina outloud.
"I wish Belldandy would be able to join in", says Chad.
"Well, Chad, maybe next time", says Raye, "when the guys get to pick the envelopes".
"Can we get this over with?", asks Amy impatiently.
"Yes, can we, please?", adds Molly.
"Ok, girls, grab an envelope", announces Mina, as each girl grab an envelope from Belldandy's hands, "and no switching envelopes with other girls", and then looks at Serena, "got it?"
"Yeah, I get it", mutters Serena.
"Alrighty, let's begin", smiles Mina as she turns to Molly, "Molly, we'll start with you".
Molly opens her envelope and takes out the piece of paper enclosed, "I have Greg".
"Alright, Molly's got Amy's guy", smiles Mina, "and speaking of Amy, you're next".
"Ok, Mina",replies Amy as she opens her envelope and takes out the piece of paper, "I've got Ken".
"Whoa! Lita's guy", grins Mina, "Ok, Lita, your turn now".
"Let's see who I get", wonders Lita as she opens her envelope, and takes out the piece of paper inside, "I have Chad".
"Lita's got Chad", announces Mina, "Ok, Raye, open your envelope".
"Alright, let's do it!", says Raye as she opens her envelope and takes out the piece of paper that reads Andrew's name, "looks like I got Andrew".
"Way to go, Raye" cheers Mina, "well guys, it's down to just 2 lucky guys, Darien & Melvin, and either Serena or myself will get either guy"
"Why don't we open our envelopes at the same time, Mina?", challanges Serena.
"Hey, sounds like a great idea to me", replies Mina, "why don't we do that? Let's do it. Are you ready, Serena?"
"Ready when you are, Mina", replies Serena.
"Can you imagine Serena & Melvin on a date", Andrew whispers to Ken.
"Oh, yeah", Ken replies, "the first place he'd take her is the museum of Arts & Sciences".
"Then sharing a large prune milk shake together afterwards", continues Andrew, "followed by deep conversation about Harry Potter".
"and don't forget to add the art museum for good measure", adds Ken, "what an interesting date that would be".
Mina & Serena opens their envelopes at the same time. Serena peeks into hers and has a nervous look on her face.
"Well, Serena?", wonders Mina", "who's your lucky guy?"
Serena slowly looks up and replies quickly, "I got Darien!"
"You got Darien?", Mina questions slyly, 'how can you say you picked Darien...", as she removes the piece of paper from her envelope with Darien's name and holds it up for everyone to see, ".....when I got him".
Serena looked down, embarrassed. "Yes guys", she mumbles, "I got Melvin".
"Alright, Serena", smiles Melvin as he runs to Serena, "this is going to be great. Serena, you & I on a real honest-of-goodness date".
"Oh, I could imagine", replies Serena embarassingly, not even looking at Melvin.
"Well, girls", announces Mina, "tomorrow, you & your chosen beaus will go out on a date, and the next day, we'll check back here at Lita's to give us a report on how it went".
"Yeah", everybody cheers in unison. Belldandy walks over to Serena.
"Um, Serena", asks Belldandy, "may I speak to you for a minute?"
"Yeah, sure, Belldandy", replies Serena, then turns to Melvin, "Uh, Melvin, do you mind if Bell and I chat for a sec?"
"It's no problem, Serena", nods Melvin, "I just can't wait for tomorrow".
Serena & Belldandy walk into Lita's kitchen and both sit down at the kitchen table. "What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
