Thing Discovered: Chapter 4
A Date
As Serena used the Luna Disguise Pen, she imagined the perfect dress for her date. The sleeves rested on the edge of her shoulders. It hugged her slim curves and ended right above her knee. It's slit went to her fingertips when they rested by her side. The pale blue color matched her eyes, her earrings, and the barrettes in her hair. [which was down, not the usual pigtails.] For the final touches, she applied a bit of shimmery eye shadow and pink, strawberry flavored, lip gloss. (She didn't like too much make up because it stood out on her fair skin, and, she didn't really need it.)
The door bell rang and her mother called to her. She grabbed her small, velvet, blue purse, shoving her make up and $20 [she planed to date "Dutch style", costs split half and half.] in it. She slid on her blue high heals, and was ready.
Darien had been talking to Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino while waiting to leave with Serena. They had already met because Darien tutored Rini. He could sense they didn't like that he was 3 years older than Serena, but they trusted him. When Serena was coming down the stairs, he barely recognized her. She was pretty before, but now she was gorgeous!
"Hello Darien. Are you ready to go?" she said as she flashed her best smile.
He stuttered when he said, "Y-yeah. O-okay... Lets... Lets go. Bye Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino!"
Both parents forced a weak smile as their "baby girl" climbed into the passenger seat of the older boy's car.
After a light conversation, they arrived at the Crown Fruit Parlor. Andrew's little sister Lizzie came over to take their order. She stifled a laugh when she saw her brother's best friend on a date. They each ordered a cheese burger and a milk shake. Serena saw Raye and Mina out of the corner of her eye, but decided to pay no attention. She knew they were curious about her date, but she'd tell them later. She was enjoying herself too much to be bothered right now. When they each finished their food, they headed out to the movie theater.
"For once I'm going to be on time for a movie!" she joked.
He smiled sheepishly, "On time for anything you mean... well there's a first time for everything."
She poked him in the ribs and shot a death look his direction. She tired to hold it as long as she could, which wasn't long, before she burst into laughter.
"Your not very good at staying angry, or serious, very well."
Serena giggled, "I can be serious if I have to be." She then raced out of the car to the ticket counter, buying their tickets.
"You didn't have to do that..."
She smiled as she declared, "Yeah I did. It's polite! You paid for dinner, I'll cover it from here!" She latched her arm to his and they happily walked to the concession stand together. She bout popcorn, candy, and a Pepsi for them to share.
"You sure know how to prepare for a movie!" Darien joked.
"YES I DO! Do you want to take notes on it?" she exclaimed. Darien laughed again.
They walked into the theater and sat down. During the Sailor V movie, Serena noticed that everytime Darien saw Sailor V's "Partner" get injured, he looked like he could cry. 'boy I sure feel speacil!' Also, sometime during the movie, Darien's arm ended up resting on her shoulder, and her head on his shoulder. 'Why does this feel so familiar?' both teens thought.
~*~*~*~*~
Mrs. Tsukino frowned. "Your awfully tnse dear." she said soothingly.
"I'M NOT TENSE! JUST VERY, VERY ALERT!"
Still frowning she said as she rubbed his shoulders, "It's Darien, don't wory."
~MEANWHILE: on the front steps...~
"This was fun. I'd love to do this more often."
"So would I. I enjoy your company..." Darien said softly.
Serna stood on her tip toes and Darien leaned down and they kissed. Both smiled as their haerts sang. As they backed up, Serena looked confused... coonfusing Darien.
"Oh god... what's wrong? Are you okay?" he said worriedly.
"Uh, yeah... It's just that when we kissed... it felt..."
"Familiar. Like a de ja vu flash." he whispered.
Serena gasped and covered her mouth. "YOU FELT IT TOO!?"
"We'll talk about it later. Over our next date maybe? I can hear your Dad blowing up."
She smiled a brilliant smile. "That's my Dad. And yes. I'd love to go on another date with you Darien."
Guess what! It's not done yet! Check out my next chapter:
