Shipmates (Chapter One)
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN SAILOR MOON SO DON'T KILL ME ON THE STORIES!
"Serena! Wake up! If you don't, mom's not going to sign that permission slip to go to that--" Serena could hear a crumpled paper unfold. "Taco Muzeum." Serena's brother, Sam, read.
"It's Tokyo Museum, you dimwit!" Serena corrected. She flopped out of bed. Sam stared. "Go away, or I'll have to throw you off the balcony so then you won't be late for school!" Serena cried, annoyed. 'Brothers are such a pain in the butt!' she thought.
"Nice compliment, but--" Sam ran to the stairs and yelled, "Mom! Serena's trying to throw me off the balcony!" Sam snickered. Serena ran out and shouted, "Am not! He's just saying that! Mom! He won't get out of my room!" Serena glared then snickered back at Sam. "Kids! Stop that! You're going to wake the whole house! Sam, stop trying to annoy Serena." their mother yelled from downstairs.
Sam raised up his hands, as a sign to surrender. "Fine, you win." He ran to the door of his room. "This time." he finished.
Serena shrugged. "Whatever." She went back to her room and changed for school.
"Hey, Ames, wait up!" Serena shouted. The girl with blue short hair and carrying books turned around and smiled. "Well, late, again, I see."
Serena made an annoyed look. "Don't remind me. Sam wouldn't get out of my room until I told mom. You know, I wish that Sam wasn't around."
"Oh, Serena," Ami laughed. "You're practically the only one who has a sibling in the group. I've always wished to have one. You should be lucky." Serena knew what Ami was referring to. Besides Ami and herself, Serena had other friends. Lita, Rei, and Mina. Lita was tall, slim, and always had cute rose earrings. Rei has black hair and goes to a temple that her grandfather owns. Mina has yellow hair, defensive, and always dreams about boys. Ami is into medicine. Her mother is a nurse. She's also an A+ student.
"So, what'd you get on the math exam?" Ami asked, walking toward the school.
"Do I have to tell you?" Serena asked.
"Well, no. Yes." Ami replied
"Might as well get it over with. But just to let you know," Serena stopped walking and faced Ami. "I suck in math and don't you dare tell Rei." Serena made Ami promise. "I got--" The school bell rang and Ami pulled Serena to the school. "At least you don't have to tell me and so I won't have to tell Rei and keep it in my heart very long. You know I stink at promises."
'That's for sure...' Serena thought.
"Serena Tsukino." Ms. Haruna was marking the attendance. She glanced up from the roll book. "Um, Ms. Serena Tsukino." Everyone stared at Serena, who was daydreaming. Rei and Mina giggled. So did Lita. Ami patted Serena's shoulder. "Serena? I think you've had enough daydreaming for one day." she whispered. "Ms. Mizuno, I don't think Ms. Tsukino needs to be awakened from her 'nap'." Ms. Haruna said.
She went to her desk and took a ruler. She then went back to Serena's desk and THWAK!!!
Which sent Serena a mile high to the ceiling, and scared the entire class, which fell silent.
"I can't believe Ms. Haruna put me in detention just because I was daydreaming!" Serena exclaimed as she and her friends went to the Crown Center Arcade.
"Well, it isn't a surprise. You've been in detention practically your entire life!" Rei laughed and snickered.
"Rei! How could you say that?!" Serena yelled "What? Now you making fun of my punishments?"
"You deserve it!" Rei snapped back.
"Do you want a piece of this?" Serena yelled, raising a fist.
"I'd like to see you try!" Rei said, pulling up her sleeves.
Lita stepped in. "Guys, guys! Chill out! Why are you arguing? Let's just go to the arcade and forget about it."
Serena turned her back. "You guys go in. I don't want a snob next to me."
"Why you little--" Rei said, trying to break free from Lita and Ami's grip.
"All right Serena, but you better not embarrass us in the arcade!" Ami said. She pointed to two people staring at them.
"Fine." Serena mumbled.
As Serena walked into the arcade, she was bumped.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Did I get in your way?" Serena asked, getting up.
"Sure did. Hey, Meatball Head," Serena knew the voice. It was a nightmare in a horrible dream. "DARIEN!!!!" Serena yelled, interrupting him.
"You know, if you keep that up, maybe your teacher might be surprised that you have a big mouth." Darien chuckled.
"I am the last person who's voice you're going to hear at all! After I pulverize you!" Serena stood up, brushing the dirt off her skirt and uniform. Ignored Darien and entered the arcade.
'Don't know what Darien's up to, but it's not going to work. If my friends see, they'll laugh at me, especially Rei!'
When Serena entered, she sat at her friend's table. Rei and Serena apologized, and talked about their day. Darien's friend, Andrew, took the girls' orders.
"Hey, girls, how's it going?" Andrew asked.
"Fine Andrew," they said in unison, and giggling.
"So, what'll it be?" Andrew asked, as he pulled out his pad.
"I want a Vanilla fudge shake, as usual." Lita said.
"I want a Strawberry coconut milkshake with a cherry on top." Ami said.
"I want a Rocky road pecan shake, Andrew." Mina said.
"I'll get a Cherry mango shake." Rei said.
"And I'll get the usual, only changing it a bit. Chocolate fudge with whip cream and a cherry on top shake," Serena finished. "Thanks." she added.
Across the room from the girls, Darien sat at the bar table. He was wondering about Serena, how she can be so cute when she gets angry.
"Uh, Earth to Darien!" Andrew waved his hand in Darien's face. Then he put his hand to his mouth, pretending to hold a receiver. "The Eagle has landed...Roger."
The little joke snapped Darien back to reality. "Hey, Andrew, if you keep doing that, I'll tell Rita that you had that little trip...heh, heh..." Darien chuckled. He remembered that bribe when Andrew told him about a trip that he went to. A cruise, for blind dates.
Andrew made a desperate surrender sign. "Alright! I give! Just don't tell her!" 'Rita already knows about the trip...in fact, we set it all up for...' Andrew's thought was interrupted when Serena went to the bar. "Hey, Andrew, are you done with the shakes? It's like a half hour since we ordered!"
"Why? Because you're too hungry for chocolate so your mom didn't get you any, Meatball head?" Andrew heard Darien say.
"Well?" Serena asked, ignoring Darien.
"Uh, I think they're ready." Andrew replied.
Serena went back to her table, and saw that Darien stared at his cold coffee. 'Whatever he tried to do, I guess, didn't work!' Serena breathed, "yes!" under her breath.
As Andrew carried the shakes to their table, he whispered to Darien, "Nice going, Romeo."
A week later, after so many insults, and defeating Serena in the 'compliments' Darien woke up late for work. As he put on his clothes and brushed his hair, the doorbell rang. He went to the door and opened it.
"Hi! Mr. uh, Chiba?" a man read a letter.
"Yeah?" Darien answered confused.
"Congratulations! You have just been selected to be on the Love Cruise Ship for Blind dates, where you and a beautiful lady will go on a date for one week!" the man replied.
He handed Darien the ticket to the trip and closed the door.
DDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG DDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I'll get it!" Sam and Serena cried in unison. They lunged for the door. Serena was quick and opened it wide shut.
"Ms. uh, Serena Tsukino?" a man asked, reading a letter.
"Yes?" Serena asked, confused.
"Congratulations! You have been selected to the Love Cruise Ship for Blind dates! Where you will be meeting a gorgeous guy and go on a date for one week!" the man replied.
He handed Serena the ticket to the trip and closed the door.
"Mom!" Sam cried. "Serena's going on a Love Cuse Ship to some blin date!" Sam finished.
"It's Cruise and blind, stupid!"
Somehow, mysteriously, coincidently, their cruise ship is on February 14, Valentine's Day, and that's only a few days away!
Hey, not much of a cliffhanger, but you have to stop somehow! Right? Anyway, whom do you think the lovebirds will be dating? What was with the letters? Do you think Darien and Serena will meet? And was this all a setup? If so, who?????
Please review the story, and tell me what you think!
