4. A Second Option
Serena ran crying through the streets of Tokyo, unaware of where she was going. All she knew is that she had to get away from Darien and Ann. The sight of them together broke her heart completely and when she heard Darien say yes, her fragile heart broke into a million pieces.
'Oh Darien…' She thought despairingly as she fell into an ally and collapsed near the entrance. "…how could you…." Serena paused and looked around and realised with a sinking heart that this was the same place that she had decided to follow Darien.
"I got a C plus in first Aid!" She shouted after him. "I can tell!"
"Oh Darien…" She cried as she collapsed into her knees and she sat their crying until she heard a soothing voice talking to her.
"Why Serena," The voice began. "-what are you doing here, and crying no less?"
"Oh Alan-" Serena sobbed, falling into the strong arms that helped to her feet. "- it's awful."
"What is Serena?" Alan asked, as he held the young girl. "You can tell me."
"Well," Serena began in between sobs. "Y-you k-know how there is a-a d-dance t-t-t-tomorrow r-right?"
"Yes."
"Well, the g-guy I wa-as go-going to ask al-al-already has a-a da-ate." Serena explained, breaking down even further. "And I… I…."
"Oh Serena," Alan comforted. "I'm sure that it's not the end of the world."
"But it is…." Serena sobbed, thinking of Darien and how much she loved him. "…it really is."
"Well how 'bout this Serena," Alan began, drying Serena's tears with a handkerchief. "I don't have a date-"
"You don't?" Serena interrupted with shock her tears subsiding slightly.
"No," Alan restated. "I don't, so how bout you come to the dance with me. Maybe when this guy sees that you are irresistible, he will realise what a big mistake he made."
"Oh Alan," Serena began, her eyes shining with happiness because of the kind offer. "-you'd do that for me?"
"Oh course." Alan nodded with a smile as he let Serena go from his arms. "What are friends for?"
"Oh Alan!" Serena exclaimed as she flung herself into Alan's arms, not realising that she was in the arms of the enemy. To her, it was poetic justice….her girlfriends were going with each other and she -who wanted to accept Alan's offer just couldn't and she was about to tell him so when a funny feeling manifested itself and all she could say was "Thank you."
