The Return

by: Eternal

The Go Away Party

Serena was having a blast at her go away party. She couldn't believe that she was actually going to go

to the states to study. What's more she's gotten into one of the best universities around;stanford. She really

couldn't have done this without one of her best friends Amy. Thanks to Amy, Serena was able to turn herself around

during her sophomore year and continue to be a great student throught her high school year. She really was gonna

miss her and of course her other best friends. Raye, Lita, Mina, and even Amy had thrown her this go away party at

the Crown Arcade. Andrew of course her dearest friend had also chipped in, of course he helped the girls with the

party. Duh he worked here! I mean what more can a girl ask for! Than there was Darien. Darien the Jerk. Serena calls

him the jerk because thats how he's acted with her. Hmph. All throughout these 5 years he hasn't changed one bit.

Ever since that test throwing incident he's been calling her meatball head! Hmph. So when Serena walked in the Crown

Arcade she was surprised not only with the surprise party but that Darien was actually there. Did it mean he cared?

Serena shook that thought off and went in and started to chatter with everyone.

"Omigosh! I can't believe you guys did this!" said a shocked and surprised Serena. "Well of course we would silly!"

answered the bubbly mina! Serena was just so happy and yet so sad. She couldn't believe she would leave her friends

and family behind. She just hugged her friends. "Hey Hey, what about me? I helped too!" Serena pulled out the

embrace she had with her friends and hugged Andrew. "Oh Andy, Thanks so much!!!!" replied a grateful Serena.

Serena pulled away from Andrew and hugged Rita. "Thank you guys! I really appreciate this." said a tearful Serena.

"Well, now its time to party!" lita shouted. Everyone nodded and agreed.

The girls sat in their usual both and just started to chat about everything and anything that came into their

minds. This was really the only time they would all get together in this both to really talk or gossip. Andrew walked to

the counter where Darien was sitting and drinking his coffee. "Hey dare" Darien just looked up and saw Andrew. "Hey drew,

why aren't you with the girls?" "are you kidding me? I needed a break from their 'girl' talk." Andrew replied with a

sweatdrop coming down from his forehead. Darien smirked. "They asked you to get their food, didn't they?"

"thats another reason" Andrew admitted and than continued "so Serena is leaving." "yeah, so?" Darien said casually.

"well, aren't you gonna say goodbye or anything?" Darien shrugged. Andrew just couldn't believe how cool Darien was acting.

You would think he'd miss her. I mean after all 5 years of bickering. Andrew sweatdropped at that thought. What Andrew

doesn't know is that Darien inside was having a battle with himself. Oh of course he knew Serena was leaving and that

hurt him. He didn't know why but it did. He just figured he was gonna miss the sparring. Of course it amused him how she

easily got mad. Still, there was something bothering him. He won't admit it to anyone but he was going to miss that bubbly,

cheerful, caring, sweet, and beautiful meatball head. He had to shake his thoughts off. He didn't like where it was heading.

Deciding that Darien wasn't gonna say anymore about the subject, Andrew just got off the stool and went on to check on

the girl's food.

The girls were chatting happily, when Andrew returned to the table with their food. Of course Serena was the happiest at

the sight of food.

"Food! oh yay!" she exclaimed. Everyone just had a sweatdrop on their heads. Some things don't change.

Serena had certainly changed. Ever since sophomore year, not only has her academic grades gone up, but she was responsible,

less klumsy and more graceful. Serena had matured very nicely. Even Darien had to admit. Even though she had slowed her

eating, her appetite was still big.

"meatball head pipe down your voice!" Raye exclaimed irritated.

"oh be quiet raye!" Serena replied sticking out her tounge

Raye stuck out her tounge back. Therefore started the famous tounge war.

Everyone in the table sweatdropped. "Well, look at the bright side, we won't be seeing this for a while." Amy commented.

Lita, Rita, Mina, and Andrew nodded in agreement. Hearing this sobbered up both Raye and Serena.

"we'll really miss you Sere." mina said

"yeah." Everyone nodded.

"Aww I'll miss all of you as well." said a tearful Serena and hugged them all.

"Well lets shake this gloomy atmosphere off and keep eating." mina cheered immediately.

"Now we're talking!" Serena cheered.

Everybody laughed.

Darien looked at the booth where the girls and Andrew sat. He can't believe thats it's only been 5 years since he met

that bundle ofjoy. *What is wrong with me?* He shook off his thoughts. *Perhaps I should say goodbye* He thought. He

kept on watching.

"Oh you guys! You shouldn't have done this!" Serena exclaimed. They got her a cake and presents. This was too much!

*they truly are my best friends. I am 'SO' gonna miss them.* she thought. "oh Serena, we wanted to. Besides we wanted you

to remeber us by. " Rita replied. "Guys! I'll be calling , emailing, and writing to you! it's not like I'm gonna stay

over there forever you know!" Serena stated. "We know, we know, but in case you get home sick, you'll have something from

us" Raye replied. "Thank you" Serena and the rest of the group started eating her farewell cake. Suddenly something was

bothering Serena. She turned around and looked at Darien. She cut a piece of cake and stood up with it. Everyone watching

in interest as to where was serena gonna take that cake. Everyone gasped as to where she was taking it to.

Darien didn't know what hit him when he saw a piece of cake infront of him. He blinked and blinked again. Than he turn to

see the most beautiful pair of sky blue eyes. "I thought you would want one to." Serena broke the silence. Darien looked

at her unsure than he smiled at her. "Thanks, meatball head." He took a piece and started to eat it. Serena just frowned

a little at the nickname, but let it slide. Darien raised an eyebrow. "what? no hysterical shouts or insults?" Darien asked

Serena blinked and shaked her head. "Not this time. I suppose I should be used to it by now." Darien smirked."I suppose you

should. Anyways so when do you leave?" "Tomorrow" she replied sadly. Serena thought she saw sadness in Darien's eyes and

shook off that idea. *yeah right* she thought to herself. *Already!quick say something!?* Darien thought. "wow that soon.

Well I don't know what to say." He said. "yeah" she looked down sadly. It had broke his heart in two seeing Serena's face.

All of the sudden Darien did something no one would have thought. He hugged her! He shocked himself. He couldn't help it

something about Serena just made him react. Serena who thought there wouldn't be anymore surprises, well she was wrong.

Serena was so shocked. She blinked. Than all of the sudden Darien whispered in her ear "Have a safe flight and good luck

with Stanford. Remeber in Stanford you can't slack off meatball head!" With that he smirked at her and turned around and

left. Serena and the others were looking at his retreating figure with shock written all over their face. Than has if

reality hit her, Serena's face turned red from anger from his last comment. *We'll see if I'll slack off Mr.Shields! argh!

that man is infurating and confusing! * than she sighed and walked back to her table. * Some things just won't change* she

last thought.

Darien had just left the arcade. What on earth possessed him to do that? He wasn't sure. In fact he wasn't sure if he even

wanted to know either. *Well at least I got to somewhat said goodbye* He thought as he continued walking. All of the

sudden he felt hurt and sadness. *Why?* he asked himself. (AN: Has if we didn't know why! totally indenial!) For some

reason he felt afraid never seeing his meatball head again. He raised an eyebrow at his last thought. *MY?!* He shook

off his thoughts continuing to walk, never knowing if he would see the beautiful bubbly blonde again.
