"A merger?!" gasped a blonde nearly spilling her cappuccino in surprise.
"That' s what I said, Inner Designs is merging with Rose Fashions," said Lita with her hands on her hips.
"I can't believe it!" said Mina as she took a sip of her cappuccino.
"I am surprised you haven't heard," commented Ami simply as she looked up from a book she had been reading. Mina looked at the blue haired girl with a frown.
"What she's saying is that usually you know everything that happens around here! This will come to no good, you can quote me on that!" snapped Rei angrily.
"Who would ever quote you? You're always so negative!" said Lita.
"Serena how do you feel about this?" asked Ami to a blonde girl stretched lazily on a chair. Dark glasses hid her eyes, on her ears was a set of headphones.
"Serena?" called out Ami.
"Forget it, when Serena has those headphones on, you might as well be talking to a wall," commented Lita.
"Hey meatball head! Ami's talking to you!" yelled Rei as she lifted on of the earphones up and yelled into Serena's ear making her jump.
"Gee, what's the big idea? I swear Rei, do that a few more times and your gonna make me deaf!" said Serena with a frown as she rubbed her ear. She turned off her Walkman to allow her to hear what Ami had to say.
"What do you feel about the merger?" asked Ami.
"Is that what you all are talking about? I've known about that for weeks," said Serena with a yawn.
"She didn't ask you how long you knew about it, she asked you what you felt about it!" snapped Rei angrily.
"Well, it'll help this company but some of the starting models might have trouble keeping their jobs," said Serena simply.
"How about you, Sere?" asked Lita with concern.
"I don't have anything to worry, I been working here since I was 16," said Serena with a shrug. "You know exactly what we are talking about, Sere," said Rei with crossed arms but looked at her friend in concern.
"My angels, its almost show time!" said a young woman with green hair. The girls called out their greetings.
"Are they going to be there?" asked Ami nervously.
"Yes, but don't worry Rose Fashions will be simply awed by you. And all my other angels," said Setsuna with a smile.
"Come on, let's give them a show that will have the media talking about for months!" yelled Serena getting cheers from the other models who were around the room.
"Good, knock `em dead, kid," said Setsuna and hugged Serena.
A tall somber young man made his way through to the crowd to get a seat close to the catwalk. He was dressed in the same dark black as his hair but being in black made his blue eyes look stunning. Every thing about him at a certain elegance from the way he dressed to the way he walked. In his hand was a sketchpad. He sat down and got a pencil from his pocket. With great interest he looked at the people walking by him. His eyes lingered mostly on the women. Looking them over from head to toe. At some a small smile would appear on his lips as he sketched down a few ideas on the pad. But at others he frowned and looked away.
"Looking for a date, Darien?" asked a male voice from behind him. Darien turned in annoyance as he saw 4 young men smiling at him.
"I happen to be looking for ideas for our fall show," said Darien with a frown to Zack who had asked the question.
"See anything good?" asked Jeremy.
"I got a few ideas," said Darien. A woman walked by and the 4 guys looked at her with hearts in their eyes. Matthew whistled receiving a smile from the woman. Darien just frowned.
"Isn't she hot?" asked Matthew.
"She's fine, but she would be better in blue," said Darien as he frowned at the yellow dress she had been wearing.
"There's the designer talking, come on Dar, there's more to a woman then what she wears," said Nick seriously.
"Yeah what she looks like," said Matthew with a smirk. Darien rolled his eyes at the four models. "Shh the show is starting," snapped Jeremy. The others sunk back in their seats, smirking. A young blonde woman came out to the podium.
"Welcome to the summer show of Inner Designs," she said in a sweet voice. Cameras started going off like crazy. The whole room was filled with camera flashes. Darien was stunned. He had never seen a whole room go crazy over a person during a show, or before the fashion show even started! She was beautiful; there was no denying it. A slinky glittery pale pink dress hugged her figure nicely. A single braid of her angelic blonde hair was done in a braid, which served as a headband. The rest of her hair was a golden waterfall down her back, which touched the floor. Diamond teardrops hung from the lobes of her ears. A diamond choker encircled her long white neck. On her wrist was a simple diamond bracelet that sparkled in the light. She remained calm during the camera's flashes.
"Our first model is Lita Kino wearing a green velvet..." but the rest wasn't heard from the group because Nick started making catcalls. Darien groaned. This was going to be a long show.
After about half an hour, Darien was ready to kill his models. They had gone gaga over some female models and each time the girl in pink said the model's name, the guy that was infatuated with her would start making so much noise that Darien couldn't hear anything else. The four models had already been threatened by the security guard to calm down or they would get kicked out of the building. Another model came down the catwalk.
"Looking lovely in her blue silk..."the girl in pink paused for the model, Mina, was wearing a light peach satin dress.
"Excuse me, Mina looks lovely in her peach silk dress. Notice the embroidery white flowers at the bottom that trail elegantly up the side. This dress is enough to make any boy's heart go wild," said the girl in pink. Matthew let out a whistled loudly.
"Looks like we have one admirer in the crowd," joked the girl but the damage had already been done. Something had gone wrong and everybody knew it.
"What happened out there?" asked Setsuna as she grabbed Mina's arm.
"I don't know, but Serena caught it on time," said Mina.
"I hope this doesn't hurt us," said Catsy sincerely.
"I don't think it will," commented Ami. Serena announced intermission and the crowd got up from their seats and stretched. She quickly went back stage.
"Somebody switched the cards," she explained.
"If we didn't have her announcing, we wouldn't be in such a mess!" spoke up a red head who looked angrily at Serena.
"And what do you mean by that comment?" asked Serena in a low voice. Serena hardly every raised her voice but you could tell when she was angry. Beryl had gone into dangerous territory.
"I think you know what I mean," hissed Beryl.
"Come on guys we can't fight. Setsuna, I have bad news, Birdie is sick," said Avery as she just joined the group.
"What else can go wrong?" groaned Setsuna.
"I can take her place," spoke up Beryl.
"No, the princess collection would not do well on you. Serena I need you to do it," said Setsuna. Serena looked stunned.
"Yes, I'll do it," said Serena.
"You can't possibly let her do that! She'll make a fool of us if she screws up," protested Beryl.
"I won't mess up," said Serena in a low voice. "
Well what are you all standing around here for? Get moving!" yelled Setsuna and the models all went to go change for the 2^nd part of the show.
"Serena, how did you know it wasn't me?" asked Ami as she slipped on another dress.
"You take very small steps Ami, Mina sort of always skips along the runway," said Serena.
"Here put on this color of lipstick, it would go perfect with that dress," commented Ami. Serena took the lipstick,
"Ami where are the shoes that go with this dress?" asked Serena.
"I don't know," exclaimed Ami with shock as she looked around the dressing room for the shoes. The whole dressing room full of models joined in to help in the search.
"Here take these," said Catsy as she handed Serena a pair of shoes.
"I can't wear these, they are too high off the ground," said Serena handing back the very high heeled shoes.
"You have to wear some shoes," snapped Rei.
"I know, I'll carry those shoes and just go bare foot," suggested Serena.
"That will add to the whole summer look," exclaimed Prisma. Beryl just arrived from her run down the cat walk heard this. She let out a smile. Things were going just as she planned it.
Darien settled in his seat with satisfaction. The four guys behind him were trying there best to remove the duct tape from their mouths and wrapped around their wrists. `That ought to keep them busy for awhile,' thought Darien smugly. Once in awhile he would do something abnormal from his usually cool and uncaring personality. He did care about one thing, work. He loved his job and spent many long hours to become the top man of his company. He was one of the wealthiest men in New York City because of it. He was a big businessman at 25.
"Serena Tskino is dressed for a summer picnic in a dress fit for a princess. Notice at the blue embroidery on the bodice and flowers among the bottom," said the announcer. The angelic blonde that had been announcing before walked gracefully down the runway. Cameras went wild again. From the camera's flashes, Darien noticed the light was bouncing off of something on the stage. Glass, he realized with shock. He watched the girl walk closer to it. He wanted to scream out; `STOP!' but he couldn't say anything. He watched her step directly on it with her bare feet. Maybe he was the only one who caught the flicker of pain flash on her face but only lasted for a split second then totally disappear into a smile. She walked gracefully down the catwalk and disappeared back stage. Darien immediately jumped from his seat. A voice screamed inside him, `why should you care? You don't know this girl. Leave her alone' He ignored the voice. The four models looked at him amazement as he
walked up the isle toward the exit.
"You know, he's very strange," said Jeremy after he was able to get the tape off his mouth and wrists. The other 3 nodded.
