The Best Day Ever
By birdoflove
Chapter one
It was a beautiful, sunny day as Serena Tsukino walked off school property. Serena is a bright, cheerful, young woman. She's always helping others, even if she doesn't know them.
sigh 'why does everyone picking on me? Does everyone think I'm so stupid that I won't notice them talking about me?'
She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't see the light pole in front of her. BAM She fell to the ground.
"ouch…" she said as she lay on her back. Finally she sat up and rubbed her nose.
" hey meatball head! Why are you on the ground? Klutzing out again?' asked a young man named Darien Shields.
"whatever, Darien. I was thinking about why everybody picks on me. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't see the pole. So shut up!!!"
And with that Serena grabbed her bag and walked off. Mean while, Darien was mentally yelling at himself.
'Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!! You're never gonna get her like that man!!'
And with that he took off after her.
half an hour later
Serena sat alone on a bench in the park.
'if everyone hates me so much I should do them all a favor. I'll just kill myself. Then they won't have to deal with me anymore.' She thought as she looked at the knife she threw in her bag that morning. Unfortunately, she wasn't alone. Her friends, Mina, Lita, Raye, and Amy, were standing just a few feet away behind some trees. Just as they were about to go stop Serena an unexpected person sat down next to her.
"hey, Serena." Darien greeted
she didn't respond.
"Serena??" it was then that he noticed the knife in her hands.
'oh no!!' his eyes grew wide in shock.
"Serena, you know you don't want to kill yourself."
"what would you know? Everyone hates me. They don't need me. I'd be doing them ALL a favor!"
"Serena. I love you!! Please don't do this! Please…" by this point he had tears in his eyes.
"what??"
"I said I love you. I always have and always will and I'm sorry for always picking on you."
"if you love me then why do you tease me?"
"because…," he started as he took the knife from her and dropped it on the ground, " if I didn't tease you I would end up kissing you… like this" with that he put a hand on each side of her face and gently brushed his lips over hers.
" I… I… I don't know what to say"
"Serena just answer this question… will you be my girlfriend??"
She looked at him, shocked to say the least. That's when she noticed the love and sincerity in his eyes.
"Yes." Was all she said as she gave him a hug.
"Thank you," he stated as he hugged her back, "now tell me… why did you want to kill yourself??"
"why did you want me to be your girlfriend?"
"hey! no answering a question with a question!"
'damn,' she thought, 'there goes that idea.' sigh
"Darien… nobody needs me. I'm just a thorn in everyone's sides. I… I'm worthless."
"that's not true."
"huh?!"
" I need you. I always have and always will. Please say you won't try to kill yourself ever again."
"I won't… I promise."
"good no let's get you home. We don't want your parents to be worried."
"kay"
And as they walked away the girls came out from behind the trees. They ll had smiles on there faces.
"aww…" said Lita
"that was so romantic!!" exclaimed Mina
"you can say that again!!!" the others exclaimed
w/ Serena and Darien
"well, here's my house. Thanks for walking me home.' She blushed as she looked at him.
"no problem. 'night. Love you."
With that Darien left and Serena went to bed.
the next day
Serena rolled over at the sound of her alarm clock going off.
'9 am. I've never been up this early on a Saturday.'
As she got dressed she could smell food being cooked downstairs. she quickly threw on her pink mini skirt and white spaghetti strap tank top with the word "princess" across it in pink glitter. She threw on some pink flip flops and headed downstairs.
"morning mom!' she said cheerfully.
"good morning Serena. I wasn't expecting you up for a while."
Serena just rolled her eyes.
"I'm gonna head to the arcade. Kay?"
"okay. Be back before dinner."
"kay." And with that she left
on the way to the arcade
'was Darien serious last night when he told me he loved me? Or was it all a joke?' BAM
"oh!! I'm sorry sir. I wasn't watching where I was going."
"that's okay, Serena"
"huh?! Oh, hey Darien. Thanks for stopping me from making a big mistake last night."
" no problem," he smiled, "but I do have a question for you."
"what is it?" she asked as they continued that walk to the arcade.
"will you promise not to do that ever again?"
"I won't. I promise. And if I try to, you can kill me."
"kay" he laughed
She smiled. She liked seeing him laugh when it wasn't because of her.
" Darien, were you serious last night?"
"serious about what??"
"about
me being your girlfriend?"
"yes, I was. Why? Does it shock you
that I would want to date you?"
"well…yea. It does shock me. I mean… I'm nothing special."
"you're special to me Serena. And I'm sorry for all the teasing I did. I never meant any harm."
"I know. I'm just really emotional, that's all."
"I wonder what Andrew's gonna say when he finds out."
"knowing Andrew he'll faint." LOL
"you're right, he probably will faint." He said as they walked threw the arcade doors together.
Andrew looked up at the jingling of the bells.
"hey Serena, hey Darien. What's up?"
"not much Andy. Can I have a cup of coffee and a chocolate milkshake for Serena. Come on honey, we'll g sit in a booth in the back."
"kay."
As they sat down, Andrew brought them their drinks.
"so…what's
with this??"
"what with what Andrew?" Serena asked
innocently
"you and Darien… being nice to each other. Are you two dating?"
"yep!!!" exclaimed Serena
"OMG!!! Congrats! You two make a cute couple."
"thanks" Darien replied while Serena just blushed.
"well… here's your drinks."
"thanks Andrew."
"you know…. It's about time you two got together."
"oh… shut up Andrew." Exclaimed a blushing Serena.
Andrew and Darien just laughed. Just then the four girls walked in.
"OMG! Girls, Serena and Darien are sitting together." One of them exclaimed.
"oh no. Darien can we please leave? Please?!?!"
"why?" he asked, completely confused
"they'll ask a million question all at once without giving me time to respond."
"hey guys. What's up?" Lita, the tall brunette, asked
"the ceiling??" Serena joked
"very funny meatball brains. I think I forgot to laugh." Raye responded.
"hey! Don't call me that!" she said in defense.
"baby"
"jerk"
"brat"
"… bitch"
"…"
"I'd like to stay longer girls. But until little miss pyro over here learns my name…"
"shut the hell up!"
"make me." Serena threatened
At this Darien stood up.
"Serena let's just leave. We can go take a walk in the park. Maybe I'll even treat you to ice cream."
"Kay. Let's go." She said as she linked her arm with Darien's.
"Here's money for the drinks, Andrew. See ya later."
"Kay. Bye you two. Have fun!" he called as they walked out the door.
"Look what you did, Raye! We were supposed to congratulate them!!" Amy said
"Quit getting jealous." Mina said
"Whatever!!"
w/ Serena and Darien
"thanks for getting me out of there, Darien."
"anything for you, my princess. By the way, have I told you that you look absolutely sexy today??"
"No, but thank you." blush, blush
He smiled, "you're welcome"
"sooo… pumpkin, are we gonna get ice cream or not?"
LOL "Yea. Let's go." He grabbed her hand and led her out of the park.
"so where do you want to go for ice cream, Serena?"
" I don't know. Why don't we just go back to the arcade?"
"alright, beautiful."
"you're too sweet, Darien." She said sarcastically
"did I hear sarcasm in that response?"
"nooo. What makes you think that, pumpkin??"
more sarcasm
"sure" rolls eyes
they laughed as they walked back into the arcade.
"two hot fudge sundaes, Andy!!" Darien exclaimed as they sat down at the counter.
"coming right up."
"You're so bossy, Darien. You've got to be nice."
"I'm not being bossy. I'm placing my order."
"Fine… whatever."
"here's your sundaes. Did you 2 have a nice walk?"
"Yep! The weather is great. It helped me cool down after that argument with Raye."
"well… I'm glad you cooled down. By the way, when did you start using language like that??"
" a while ago. I normally don't say it out loud, but I'm sick and tired of everyone picking on me. I promise I won't use words like that ever again in the arcade, Andrew."
" good. I don't need the younger kids saying it."
LOL "sorry Andrew. I'll think before I speak next time."
With that said, Andrew went to help other customers while Serena and Darien finished their sundaes, paid for them and left.
10 mins later
" I had a great time tonight, Darien. But I have to go home now."
"well….. I'll be the gentleman I am and walk you home."
"okay"
