Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, Naoko does -_-' wish I did
Serena's whole week was filled with prom promotion posters for herself and Mina. All of the girls and her were getting professional looking posters for herself and Mina who also was running against Serena "to make it look like I have competition" she always said whenever someone asked why Mina was running.
So it was a sunny Sunday, when Serena's cell phone started playing out a special tune. Picking it up, while still painting a poster, she gave out a flirty "Hello?" to the caller.
"Serena it's me." A breathless Lita called.
"Lita? What's up?" She asked, intrigued.
"Well I have some news"
"Spill!" She demanded becoming impatient. Serena liked getting what she wanted when she wanted.
"It's Ryan. He's been in a car crash. And he's broken his leg, his wrist and two ribs." She could practically hear Lita sweatdrop. "They were all going ninety when they hit a pothole and their car did a flip. I'm telling you, it was one hell of a pothole!"
"You're kidding?" Serena exclaimed, shocked. She had stopped painting by this point and was staring into space. She was going to go to the prom with Ryan, because just yesterday she had said yes to him. "Now who will I go with?!" She wailed.
"I'm not sure, Hun. All the eligible guys are taken" Lita replied, almost smugly.
"Oh this is a disaster! What am I going to do?" Serena started sniffling. Lita knew Serena was going to have a tantrum pretty soon, so she thought fast.
"Chill, Serena! I have an idea. Okay you know how you get all those geeks who don't go to the prom?" She shuddered, making Serena gasp at the very thought of the nerdy people. "Well, some of those guys have a lot ofpotential. Say you could, I don't knowfix one of them up? Give them a night to remember?"
"Oh, Lita!" Serena cried. "I couldn't do that! My reputationmy life as I know itit would all be over!"
"Chicken?" This remark made Serena's blood boil in rage.
"Care to repeat that?" She asked coldly.
"You heard me! I said you're too chicken to do it. You know you could never fix up a guy, it's too much hard work for the princess." Lita taunted her, she knew she Serena would break any second now
"You're on!"
"Aha! Okay, but I pick the guy."
"Oh, now that's not fair" Serena started.
"Nope, you're not backing out of this! I choose the guy as you seem to confident any guy will be easy enough for you to fix up!"
After a couple of seconds thinking, which was pretty long for Serena, she agreed, getting an excited squeal out of Serena.
"Alright, I have the perfect guy!" Lita breathed. "Darien Shields!"
"No!" Serena took in a breath. An image of a greasy black haired boy came into her thoughts. He was the president of the science club only because he was the brainiest. He often did the lighting in school plays and although he did have nice blue eyes, he hid them behind huge glasses, which Serena often thought he didn't need. He didn't have very nice clothes or shoes. He gave Serena the creeps almost.
"Yes!" Lita insisted. This met Serena with a groan.
"Butit's not fair!" She continued to protest.
"I'll give you until the prom to make him look great! And I mean great."
"But that only gives me 'til Friday!"
"I know!" Lita giggled happily. After a few more minutes of discussion on their phones, they hung up.
"Darien Shields" Serena thought. She pulled out the phone book under the table by the phone and sat back down at her desk. She flicked through the pages until she came to the S'. Running her finger slowly down the page, she squinted reading the small print.
"Shields, D" She murmured. Picking up the phone, she slowly dialled the number listed. A male voice answered.
"Hi is Darien Shields there please?" Serena asked, a tiny bit unsure.
"This is he." The voice replied.
"Oh, okay. Well this is Serena Tsukino, you know me?" She gave a little giggle. "My posters are only all over the walls at school." Darien didn't laugh.
"Yeah, I know you." Was that bitterness she detected?
"Yeah, well, I was wondering, are you, umgoingtothepromthisfriday?" She slurred, wanting to get this part over with, as he didn't seem all to thrilled to hear from her.
"Huh?" He cried.
"I said" she took a deep breath and started again, "Will you, um, Darien, go to the prom with me?"
Silence.
"Darien?" She asked, worried.
"Yeah, I'm here"
"Well will you come with me?"
"Well"
"Oh come on, please?" She begged.
"You sure this isn't a joke?"
Serena put on her offended voice, "Of course not!"
"Well alright." He finally mustered.
"Great!" squealed Serena. "But there's a couple things we need to do to fix you all up for the prom! Ooh, Darien, we're going to have so much fun!"
Her enthusiasm brightened his day because he had always noticed her from afar even though she didn't see him. At first he really thought she was tricking him so he thought he came off as a littlecold.
'There's got to be a reason for this sudden friendship." He thought to himself. But he shrugged it aside as she rambled on about the prom. He'd seen the posters around school and he knew Mina didn't have a chance, Serena would get that crown.
"Imagine that!" He mused. "Me, going to the prom with this years prom queen!"
While he was quietly thinking on the other line, occasionally giving her a few 'Yes' and 'No's, she was really cringing.
"Why did I ever agree to this?! Why!?" She cried in her head. She put on a firm face and tried to sound really happy and excited which isn't too hard for a cheerleader.
"Anyway, can you meet me at the mall in half an hour?"
"Oh, I don't know, I kind of have a science club meeting then" He said regretfully.
"Oh." She sounded put off. "Can't you skip that nerd fest? I mean, this is a really important occasion!"
"Um, okay then, yeah sureI'll call them and tell them I'm sick or something, I guess."
Serena giggled. "That's great! Meet me at the water fountain, alright? You do know where that is, right?"
"Uh huh, it's by the insect pet store." Serena cringed yet again by this geeky comment.
"Yeah, I don't think I've evernoticed that store but, at least you know where it is. Don't be late!" She hung up. Quickly dialling Lita's cellie number, she gabbed into the phone.
"I was thinking either a Brad Pitt lookor James Dean? What do you think?"
"Uh uh, no way! Neither! You have to get with the times, girl. James Dean?!" She cried, obviously disgusted.
"Fine, well I'll go with Brad."
"Nope, something a bit more High School. Baggy Pants. Chains. Piercing? Nah, too far. Well, Serena just change him from High School Geek to High School King!"
A/N: Whatcha think!? I finally finished it, I hope you enjoy it. Keep the reviews coming! Thanks.
