Okay guys. Here's the next chapter! So sorry it took FOREVER but it was the end of the year…studying, finals, saying good-bye to friends :tear: CARMEN! COME BACK TO ME!

Oh! And I FEEL the need to give plugs!

If you like Yu-Gi-Oh and you like laughs you've gotta check out marikluverkaibasgurl's Through Another's Eyes if you haven't yet!

AND you HAVE to read Meg's latest Hero Wanted! It is so cute! Meg, if you're reading, I LOVE IT!

Disclaimer- I don't own Sailor Moon and that's that…but I do own an Orlando Bloom movie…3 in fact…and that's all that matters: Stares off into space googly eyed and drooling over Orlando : I don't own Coca-Cola either…or else I'd be just a LITTLE bit richer…

: Last Time :

So Mina went on to tell Andrew all about jolly old England…I decided to give them their privacy after a while…I glanced back at Rei and Jace and they looked rather comfy, walking closely to each other…and suddenly I felt lonely…I YEARN FOR DARIEN!

: This Time :

"Um, hey Serena, we're here."

"Oh, sorry, I spaced out a little."

"It's okay, we all do it sometimes."

Yeah, and I've been doing it a little bit too much lately…is this the kind of effect Darien is having on me…

"Um, hello, Serena…you just did it again…"

"Ugh, Sorry, Sorry."

"Um, Serena are you okay?"

"Yeah, Mina, don't worry about me! I don't know I guess I'm just thinking through everything that happened today…"

"Okay, if you say so."

So we all walked into the arcade. Now THIS is what I call CUTE! It looks kind of like a 50's style diner with a countertop and a few red vinyl barstools in front of it. The booths are covered in white leather on the top and red on the bottom, and the tables are white with black specks…SOOOOO 50's! There are Coca-Cola signs and other cute retro stuff. In the center of the room, there are a bunch of video games all lined up in rows, and each game has a barstool in front of it…so in conclusion…I LOVE THIS PLACE! It is just too cute!

Mina, Rei, Jace, and I all slid into a booth while Andrew went into the back room to change into his work uniform. He came out wearing some khaki slacks and a nice button down light blue shirt. But the best part had to be the APRON he was wearing! HA! Andrew looked so hilarious in that thing! I was the only one who found it funny…but I just never pictured Andrew wearing an apron…

"Okay guys, what'll you have? It's on me…"

"Oh, no! Andrew don't be silly! You don't honestly expect us to sit around and order food while it's added onto your tab do you?"

"SPEAK FOR YOURSELF MINA!"

"Rei, no need to scream Mina is only sitting right in front of you!"

"Oh, sorry…hehe…"

"Don't worry about it Andrew we'll split the bill."

"All right, if you guys say so. What'll it be?"

"Um…Rei what are you going to have?"

"Oh, um, I'll take a double cheeseburger, no onions or pickles."

"And I'll have the same."

"Okay, so 2 double cheeseburgers, no onions or pickles, for Rei and Jace. What would you like Mina?"

"Um, I don't know…what do you recommend Andrew?"

"Well, if you're in the mood, I'd recommend my Chocoholic Fudgylicious Motherload Chocolate Shake!"

"Whoa, I think that's WAY too much chocolate for me…I think I'll just have a vanilla milkshake.

"Okay so a 'nilla shake for you. How 'bout you Serena?"

"Well, umm, actually, that shake you were talking about before sounds pretty damn good…"

Andrew chuckled. "All right so I'll have all your orders in a few minutes…oh, umm, Rei, Jace, do you guys want anything to drink?"

"I'll just have a Coke."

"I'll have the same."

"Okay, so I'll have all your orders in a few minutes. You guys can just chill here and talk or play video games if you want. I'll be right back!"

"Okay, thanks Andrew."

So Andrew went behind the counter into the kitchen and started whipping up the burgers. School ended at 3:00 and now it was about 4:25. I wouldn't have to be home until around 6:30 so I decided to play some video games while I waited for the food.

Hmmm…so many games, but which to choose…OH! YAY! They've got my fave Sailor V!

'Please deposit 50 cents.' Evil machine, making me waste my money…

'Level 1' ALL RIGHT MONSTEROUS EVIL DOERS! PREPARE TO DIE!

: 15 minutes later :

OOOOHHHHH! One more level to go and I've officially dusted ALL the monsters!

"Hey Rena come and get it! YOUR FOOD'S HERE!"

"Coming' Mina, just let me finish up this last level!"

BANG PFEW PFEW BOOM!

'Winner winner winner!' Boy does it feel good to be the champ!

'Enter name.' S-E-R-E-N-A…hahaha I can't wait to see it in that high score slot!

'Congratulations! First Runner Up!' WHAT? First runner up? That means I got SECOND PLACE! WHO'S GOT THE HIGH SCORE? I'LL BEAT IT BY A MILE!

'Score Listings' Ugh, what a retarded arcade game! Since when do the lists start from the bottom up? Well, look there's Andrew in slot 4, Mina in slot 3…and there's me…IN SLOT 2! BUT I SHOULD BE IN SLOT 1!

'High Score.' OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! NO! This can't be happening to me! Of ALL people to have the high score…DARIEN? Why does this keep happening to me? I swear, it's like karma is out to get me or something!

"SERENA YOUR SHAKE IS GETTING…WARM?"

"All right Mina I'm on my way!" I said with a giggle. Mina thinks of the worst lines…

: Back at the table :

"So how's your shake Mina?"

"It's good! Thanks Andrew!"

Andrew smiled down at Mina. "How 'bout yours Serena?"

I smiled at him while sipping and gave him thumbs up. This shake really is awesome! It's soo great and it's really yummy, plus it's super chocolately. It's like…a glass of heaven…

So, basically I CHUGGED that milkshake in about 3 minutes…now back to the game! I HAVE to beat that high score.

DIE MONSTER DIE! PFEW PFEW PFEW, BANG BANG, CRUSH!

"NOOOOOOO!" the game screamed in an evil voice.

Hahaha stupid monster…FEEL MY RATH!

: Back at the Table :

"Um…is she gonna be okay?"

"I don't really know Andrew…I just don't know…"

"Maybe we should go…"

"NO! If we interrupt her NOW she might become vicious…"

"Uh…yeah I think you're right…BUT IF SHE KEEPS JUMPING ON THE MACHINE LIKE THAT SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO GO!"

: 20 minutes later :

Thank God I only lost in one of the earlier levels…GOTTA KEEP GOING BABY! GOTTA BEAT THAT HIGH SCORE!

Uh-oh…ok so I'm back at that one spot where I died before…if I win here I move on and get the high score…if I don't…WAHHHHHHHH!

Okay, here I go! No big deal, it's just a monster like all the others right?

: Monster Saunters on Screen :

HOLY COW THAT'S BIG!

How am I gonna beat THAT huge thing with her crappy little ray gun?

WAHHHHH!

"You know, if you hit these two buttons at the same time, you'll get an upgrade on that gun of yours."

BOOM!

WOAH! That killed the monster! HOW DID HE DO THAT?

"THANKS!"

"No problem Sere…"

GASP! IT'S DARIEN!

"DARIEN!"

Okay, call me a loser, lame, desperate…I can take it…I actually JUMPED up into his arms…AND I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR A DAY! I started to pull away, SO embarrassed…

"Hey, where're you rushing off to?" he said as he held me firmly and pulled me back into a hug. His arms wrapped around me so strongly, yet so delicately…almost like if I was a porcelain doll about to break if he squeezed too much. I quickly hugged him back and we stood there awhile. Then he pushed me out at arms length.

"So, did you miss me?" he asked as we started walking.

"No." I answered with a laugh and a smirk.

"Oh, I see, so you don't want to tell me the truth…you know if you lie to me like this, it'll never work out."

"WHAT'll never work out?"

"This relationship…"

"And since when do WE have a 'relationship'?"

"How 'bout…SINCE I SAID SO!" he said with a laugh "Just kidding…I know we gotta take things slow." I turned and faced him.

He winked at me and I laughed.

"You are SUCH a dork."

"Hey, why don't you answer my question!"

"Fine, but only if you answer mine."

"I'm listening…"

"Did you miss ME?"

"OH MAN, are you kidding me?" he said with a grin. I gave him a look. "Okay ,to please you and answer your question PRINCESS, yes I did miss you!" I smiled and tilted my head to the side.

YES! He missed ME! I feel so special AND loved!

"Gosh, don't I feel special?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, now YOU have to answer MINE!"

"Okay, to be honest…yeah…"

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm not understanding you very well. Could you speak CLEARLY?"

"I SAID YES! I MISSED YOU!"

Whoops, I SO shouldn't have done that…HE DID IT ON PURPOSE! Rei so heard me and I know she's gonna interrogate me after this…

"Okay, just checking…"

"Yeah sure, you know that's what you WANTED to hear!"

"Well maybe it was!"

I smiled…Darien is so funny and quirky.

"You want anything?"

"Um, no thanks I just had a shake so I'm good."

"All right, then come with me. I'm gonna go get some coffee."

"Okay, but what about the game?"

"I'll teach you how to beat my score later but come with me now."

So we sat at the counter next to each other and conversed while I watched the clock.

It was 5:30 and I would have to go home in about 30 minutes.

"Don't walk here alone…it's not safe for a young lady like you…"

I guess I would just walk home with Mina.

"…it was THE funniest thing Mack EVER did! Serena? Serena hello?"

"I'M HERE! I'M OKAY! Don't spin me around again PLEASE!"

He chuckled. "Don't worry…I'll never do that again unless it's absolutely necessary."

"GOOD! Define absolutely…"

Darien rolled his eyes.

: 10 minutes later :

So we kept on chatting and Darien kept me laughing!

"Okay you know what I can't take it anymore!"

"What?"

"You keep looking at the clock! Do you have to be somewhere?"

"Uh, no I'm just checking the time to make sure I'm not late for dinner."

"When do you have to be home?"

"We usually eat at 6:30."

"Well it's 5:20 now…maybe you should set out, that way you're almost home when the sun starts to set."

"Yeah, I guess you're right, I should go get Mina."

"Aw, well look at her and Andrew over there…"

I took a glance over. Andrew was sitting next to her in the booth and they were chatting away. Mina looked really happy and Andrew kept making her laugh. He took some ketchup from his order of fries and put it on the tip of her nose. She couldn't stop giggling as she did the same to him. They laughed some more and then wiped it off each other.

Darien was right. I couldn't break them up after all the fun they were having. And Rei was just not an option. I'd be pulling her away from Jace AND she'd interrogate me…double whammy. So yeah, REINO!

"Well if you need to…"

Is Darien…

"And if you don't mind me…"

AWW! This is too sweet of him!

"I'll walk you home."

: Tune in Next Time :
