Rei's Story

Rei sighed for the fifth time in the past ten minutes. She wish she wore different shoes. Ducking behind the bush was starting to get tiring but she couldn't give up now. Not yet. Not when she was so close to accomplishing her goal.

'Where was he?' She thought to herself.

Darien was scheduled to run through here. She had timed it perfectly. Watching ones crush and learning their schedule had its benefits. She was not stalking him…really. They were destined to be together. Was it so wrong that she wanted to speed destiny up a little faster? It was times like this Rei wished she could morph into Serena. She seemed to run into him all the time to Rei's annoyance. However, today Darien was late which was very unlike him. He was never late to anything. She gasped to herself. Could something have happened to him?

"Rei! What are you doing here?" She turned to see Serena walking her way. Drats. She was going to ruin her plan! She needed to get rid of her before Darien came… She looked over her shoulder to make sure he was nowhere in sight.

"Serena I'm busy I don't have time to talk right now!"

"But you're just standing here?" Rei was losing her patience.

"I am meeting someone important! So scram!"

"Okay, okay. What's up your backside today pyro?"

"Listen Serena, I'm busy ok."

Serena glanced over Rei shoulder and her eyes narrowed. "Drats she mumbled."

"Hey Meatball head what are you doing in the park? I didn't think you were scheduled to scare away the pigeons until Tuesday." Darien smarted.

Serena narrowed her eyes. "Ha. Ha. Very original jerk face."

"Oh hi Darien! What are you doing here?" Rei looked him over in delight. How could someone be so handsome? Sigh… he even smelled delicious too.

"Hi Rei, I'm good. How are you?" He asked politely.

Rei blushed. "I'm great. I have been here for a school project studying nature. I am usually too busy studying. Especially today! I've been studying, studying, studying!"

"I thought you said you were meeting someone important here?" Serena asked.

"You must have misunderstood me."

"No, I didn't."

"Anyways, since you're here Darien I was wondering if maybe you would like to go on a boat ride with me." Rei asked ignoring Serena completely. "It's a great day to get out on the water." Was she trying to hard? Nah.

He furrowed his brows. "I thought you had to study?"

"Oh I am all finished for the day!" She smiled brightly.

"I want to go!" Serena squealed.

"You can't." Rei hissed.

Serena furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Why not?"

"Because I already asked Darien if he wanted to come first." Rei explained.

"That's ok Rei. Honestly, I was just going to finish running and go home." He said sheepishly.

"Yay!"

"See? Do not ruin Meatball Head's joy. That's my job." He smirked at the blonde.

"I'm going to pretend you didn't say that."

"No, really Darien. I needed your uh advice!" Rei was trying to grasp at straws at this point.

"Advice? Isn't that what Meatball Head is for? Girl talk and such?"

"I mean I need someone who isn't brain dead's advice! Its academic advice."

"Hey! That is mean Rei. You know I try hard in school it's just…hard." Serena looked down at her feet. Rei felt a tinge of guilt. This was not going at all how she planned.

"You know Meatball Head with right tutor you probably would be able to improve your grades. Say…. I have a bit of extra time on my hands. Maybe I can tutor you?" Darien offered. Rei felt her stomach sink.

"Really? You wouldn't mind tutoring me?"

"No, it won't be so bad." He gave her a kind smile. Jealousy roared its evil head. This was not fair! Darien and she should be on a boat right now. Serena always had to do something to distract him.

"I could use from tutoring too! I am in college level chemistry. It's hard for me to understand. Maybe you can tutor me too?" Rei offered.

"Since when did you-"She elbowed Serena in the side before she could finish her sentence.

"Uh. Sure. I guess I could tutor you both at the same time. I'll see you guys tomorrow at the crown?" He asked.

"Of course! See you tomorrow Darien!" Rei waved as he started to jog away.

When Darien was officially out of sight, Rei turned to Serena.

Great now she had to come up with another perfect outfit. She tapped her lips in concentration. She needed something that would get Darien's attention. Hmmm… she glanced over at Serena. Yeah right, she couldn't ask her for fashion advice. That was Mina's expertise. However, wait… Serena always grabbed Darien's attention… Brilliant!

"Come on Meatball Head we got a lot to do before tomorrow!" She grabbed her hand to leave.

"Like what?"

"Well, I need you to do my hair and borrow some of your clothes!"

"Why would you need to do that Rei? You have plenty of clothes. Besides, Mina is better at doing hair than I am."

"No, I need you to do my hair like yours." Rei stated.

Serena lips began to tremble and before she knew, it was laughing hysterically. "That's a good one. You would never get caught dead in my "meatballs"."

Rei fumed. "I'm serious." Serena became quiet.

"Why though? Are you sure you are feeling ok?" Rei's annoyed demeanor only got worse as Serena began feeling her for a fever.

"Yes! I am fine Doe Doe Brains! I need you to my hair like yours because it gets Darien's attention! If you can't already tell Darien and I are becoming a couple." Rei stated smugly.

"But Rei, you shouldn't have to change your appearance for a guy's attention. Besides, Darien normally makes fun of me. If he really likes you he will like you for being you." Rei rolled her eyes.

"Poor naive Serena. I have to keep Darien on his toes. Change it up and this will be a good plan to start with. He will not know what hit him! Do not be surprised if you are booted out of study session tomorrow. It will probably end up being more private for us."

"Rei, I'm not sure…." Serena began.

"Are you going to help me or not?" She demanded.

Serena held her hands up in a surrendering gesture. "Alright, alright! I will help yeesh! Come on!"

Rei felt confident walking to the arcade the next day. She looked down at her irregular outfit. It could not be more Serena like even if she tried. She wore a cute, pink, bunny sweater with a grey skirt and pink knee high socks. To complete her look she wore Serena's Mary Janes and finishing it off with two perfect meatballs. Compliments of Serena herself. Darien should for sure give her attention now. Somewhere in the back of her head, she felt a nagging voice telling her this was wrong but for now, she pushed it to the back of her mind. She pushed open the doors to the arcade hearing the chime of the doors and she took a deep breath. She saw Mina at the bar, flirting with a certain blonde-haired arcade worker as usual. Mina turned around to greet whoever had walked in. When Rei made eye contact with her and she saw Mina's eyes double in size.

"Rei! Is that you?" Mina asked baffled.

"Yes it's me who else would it be!" She barked.

It was then Rei heard Mina's snickers. "Well, you look like Serena's evil twin to be honest. What on Earth are you wearing? Did you swap closets with Serena and why are you wearing "Meatballs"?" It was then she noticed Andrew was holding in laughter behind her. Rei narrowed her eyes. Was this really so ridiculous?

"If you must know I happen to admire Serena's fashion. I just tried to borrow some of Serena's clothes to make it my own. Moreover, I have loved her hairstyle forever. I thought I would try it." She shrugged nonchalantly.

Mina rolled her eyes. "Right, that's why you make fun of her all the time. Is this a weird ploy to get Darien to like you? Because it is not going to happen."

"What are you talking about?"

"Come off it Rei, you've had an open crush on Darien forever. He gives attention to Serena…"

Rei turned red. "No! For your information, Darien and I are already a couple."

Mina raised a brow to her raven-haired friend. "Really since when?"

"Since yesterday as a matter of fact. He is on his way now to meet me for our date!" It technically was not a lie….

As if on que, Serena and Darien walked into the arcade.

"Hey Serena! Darien how are you?" Mina asked.

"I was good until Serena here almost gave me a concussion."

"I did not! It's not my fault you run over precious small girls."

He chuckled. "Right."

It was then he turned his attention to Rei. He looked at her as if she had grown a second head.

"Rei? Why do you look like Meatball Head?" His reaction was not what Rei had been expecting.

"Apparently, she's coveted Serena's look for years and wanted to try something new." Mina not even attempting to hide the amusement in her voice was trying to hold back her snickers.

"How… interesting. Looks like you are starting a trend Meatball Head. Who knows maybe this will end up being might worst nightmare a Serena on every corner." He teased.

"I think that would be a dream! A nightmare would be your clones everywhere." Darien chuckled at her response. Rei was growing impatient. He barely said anything! Why was he still giving Serena the attention? He should be teasing and flirting with her dang it!

"So are you two ready to study?" Darien asked.

Andrew apparently chose the worst time to chime in. "Study? I thought you said you and Darien were on a date Rei. I reserved you a booth in the back."

Rei wished the floor would swallow her. "I think you misunderstood Andrew…"

"No, you said Darien and you were dating." Mina chimed in.

Darien shifted uncomfortably. "Uh… I was under the impression this was a study session. You needed help with chemistry…"

"You don't even take chemistry Rei." She could slap Mina at this moment.

"Rei? What's going on?" Serena asked. Serena reached out to comfort her. She snatched her arm away.

"Jesus Serena! For once could you keep your mouth shut and not ask stupid questions!" Rei's face was hot and before she realized it, tears were streaming down her face.

"Rei… calm down. This isn't Serena's fault." She realized it was Darien speaking now. "Look, I don't know how I gave you the impression this was any more than friendly terms but, I am really sorry. I just thought we were studying together."

"Yes it is her stupid fault! You couldn't of just stayed out of it could you? You always have to hog all the stupid attention. News flash it is annoying. I never want to talk to you again Serena. Darien, I do not care to see you either. You both have made me look stupid." It was then Rei stormed out of the arcade.

Leaving her friends upset and confused.

Future…

"Why were you mad at mommy Auntie Rei?" The little cinnamon cherub asked.

"Because Auntie Rei needed her ego knocked down a few pegs." Mina laughed.

"What's an ego mommy? Isn't that like the waffles you make me?"

Serenity laughed. "No darling, that's an Eggo. An ego is someone's feeling of pride or superiority."

"Oh." Small Lady not grasping her mother's words.

"Oh can it Mina! You weren't much better!" Rei blew a raspberry at her!

"Both of you were airheads!" Lita came through the door chiming in.

Endymion ran his hands down his face. "Sure, come on in join the party. Apparently no one knows the word privacy anymore."

"We need to get better security…" Serenity muttered to Endymion.

"How is my smile lady today?" Lita beamed down at the angel.

"I'm good Auntie Lita. Will you help tell the bed time story too?"

"I sure will munchkin. It was I, after all who had to fix everything these two started and all the chaos that ensued afterword."

"Do you not have your own lives and husbands?" Endymion asked exasperatedly.

"We do, but this is much more fun!"

"Hey! Its might turn now! Where should I begin…. Oh yeah…" Lita trailed off.
