Chapter 5~~~~~~~~~~

Raye silently opened the door to hear a male's voice, "-I can't take Emerald anymore she just is so conceded, I think I'm going to call of the wedding" Darien said. "Andrew I know that but she wants to kill Serena every time she sees her and if I call of the engagement it might put Serena in danger" Darien said. "O.k. I'll let you go, check on Serena for me" Darien said and hung up.

Raye cleared her throat and walked in "Raye........ What are you doing in here?" asked a surprised Darien. "I came for Serena's dress for tonight" Raye said. "Ohh why didn't she come herself?" Darien asked. "Oh Mina pulled her into a poll" Raye said lazily. "Are you kidding" Darien asked amused.

"Nope...so where's Serena's clothes we have to get her up and ready" Raye said looking around and trying to avoid confrontation that she was listening to his conversation. "Ummm.... There in the closet" Darien said pointing. Raye went over to the bedroom closet, and pulled out a gorgeous silver dress that Darien had never seen before.

It was a silvery white color, the straps were delicate silver chains, it puffed out at the hips, and it had a longer back to it that in the front. Darien thought it was beautiful on the hanger boy was he in for it when he would see it on Serena. Raye held out the dress as she rummaged for the shoes, which were silver heels. She pulled them and laid the dress and the shoes on the bed then went to the bathroom and grabbed Serena's makeup case.

"Hmmmm....I think that should be it, see you at the convention later" Raye said and left the suite. Raye got back to the room; Greg, Chad, Ken, and Andrew were fighting over a soccer game so Raye went into the bedroom. When she got in Serena was still sleeping and Amy, Lita, and Mina were crowded around the window. "Oh he's cute" Mina said, "Guys how is this helping Serena, what would Raye say" Amy said.

"Don't worry about Raye she's getting Serena's dress and shoes she won't be back for a-" Lita started to say "Really" Raye said. Lita almost fainted "H-h-hi Raye how are you" Mina said turning around quickly. "You guys are as bad as Serena get away from the window and help me wake her up" Raye scowled setting down the dress and shoes on a nearby chair. Lita and Mina left the window reluctantly and Amy followed with a smile.

Mina sat down next to Serena and said "Serena" nothing happened. "Serena can you hear me" Lita said, at those words Serena flipped over. "Here let me try" Raye said, she took in a deep breath "WAKE UP YOU MEATBALL HEAD" Serena jumped up 5 feet in the air. "OWWWWW RAYE" Serena whined.

"We had to get up somehow, Serena" Amy said. "Why, I was sleeping" Serena pouted. "Because we have the convention to go to," Mina said pointedly. "Oh Yeah, hehehehe" Serena laughed nervously. All her friends fell on the floor. "We got your dress and shoes, so could you get ready" Amy asked. "Yeah Yeah Yeah, I'm going, hey where's all my shopping bags?" Serena asked.

"There down stairs waiting for you, but you can't get them now because we'll be late" Mina said anxiously. "Fine let me go take my shower" Serena said and walked slowly into the bathroom. "Well that settles a few things, we'll go and get ready too" Lita told Mina. "O.k. Seeya guys later" Mina said, Raye, Amy, and Lita left the room and Mina decided to get ready.

Serena stepped out of the shower again for the second time today only without any interruptions, dried herself off and went outside to get a robe from Mina. "Mina can I borrow a robe, I want to get my makeup done first" Serena asked. "Sure thing Serena" Mina said and picked one out of the closet. Serena put one a yellow silk robe and went back into the bathroom to do her hair and makeup.

Every once and awhile Mina would come in and ask "Do you like this dress" or "What do you think of this one". Serena finally got fed up and said "Mina don't worry about tonight you have to make an appearance tomorrow night" and Mina seemed to have a light bulb go on in her head "Your right Serena, why didn't I think of that" Mina said and ran out the door.

Serena sighed and resumed doing her makeup, when she was done she put her hair up in meatballs and put silver diamond hair ties on each of them, then she put on a sapphire necklace and bracelet and left the bathroom to get dressed. Mina went into the bathroom with her yellow dress on, while Serena got into her dress and buttoned the Victorian buttons in the back and pulled out the train that went behind it.

She looked at herself and smiled she truly liked this dress since it showed of her figure. But tomorrow night she had the most gorgeous dress. No one had ever seen not even Mina {A.N. But let's not get into it until the night of the last day.}

Serena went into the bathroom and Mina was finishing up with a nice canary diamond yellow bow in her hair. "What do you think" Serena asked, Mina looked up and her eyes went wide "WOW Serena you look beautiful". "Thanks Mina let me see what you look like" Serena said, Mina stood up "Looking good cuz" Serena winked. Mina giggled at the nickname they used when they were younger.

Serena and Mina grabbed their purse and put on their shoes, and walked out into the living room "I guess everyone left" Mina said. "Don't worry about it lets go and get the girls" Serena responded. They walked out of the room and went across to Amy, Lita, and Raye's room. Mina knocked on the door and Greg answered, his eyes went wide at the sight of them "H-hi girls" Greg stuttered.

"Hiya Greg, are they ready?" Mina said cheerfully. "Umm...Amy is ready but Raye and Lita are still finishing up" Greg replied. "Can we come in" Serena asked. "Yeah sure" Greg said quickly. Mina and Serena stepped into the spacious living room and sat down on a couch by the bedroom. Amy walked and Greg looked up "You look lovely Amy" Greg said.

Amy was in a blue dress, it covered Amy's entire chest up to her neck and blue sleeves that flared out at the wrists, and it went down to the floor and sort fanned out around her. Amy blushed at his comment "Thank you Greg" She answered politely. "Oh Amy you look beautiful" Mina agreed, "Where are the other girls?" Greg inquired.

"I think they're getting their hair and makeup done" Amy supposed. "Were going to be late," Mina mumbled, then she stood up and went into the bedroom. A couple seconds later Raye, Lita, and Mina came out, Raye and Lita looking peeved and Mina looking satisfied. Serena had round eyes as she watched Mina march over to the door and hold it open.

Raye, Amy, Lita, and Greg walked out and Serena stood up, fixed her dress and walked out of the room. Mina followed suite and walked out of the room towards the elevator were her friends were waiting. Just before the elevator got there Chad, Andrew, and Ken ran over to them. "Sorry were late but it's murder trying to get a tuxedo on" Chad said.

"Yeah and we had to wait for you" Ken threw in; Before Chad could reply the elevator got there and they piled in. "MINAYOUR ON MY DRESS" Serena screeched. "Sorry Serena" Mina said and stepped of her dress. Everyone was careful not to step on he dress in fear of being yelled at. When the elevator reached the lobby everyone exited after Serena and Mina who were in the lead.

When they arrived out side there was a white and black limo waiting for them. The gentlemen took the black and the ladies took the white one. "The convention center, please" Serena said to the driver. "Yes ma'am" The driver replied. Then the white limo took of to a night of interesting events. {A.N. hmm maybe I should leave of here, NAH!!!!!!}
They arrived at the entrance of the convention hall with 2 minutes to spare until the opening. Serena and Mina stepped out of the limo and walked up the red carpet to the entrance. Serena noticed a lot of her friends of the business world were there. Then she spotted Darien, he was talking to Andrew who seemed to of left the limo as well.

Serena decided to go and say hello, she walked up to Darien and Andrew. "Hey Serena" Andrew said "Hi Andrew, Hey Darien" Serena said. Darien turned around and his mouth dropped open. Darien blinked a few times to see if she was real "Hi.... Serena, you look beautiful," Darien said in awe. "Thank you Darien" Serena smiled, "Would you accompany me inside" Serena asked.

"Yes, I would be delighted" Darien said and held out his arm. Serena's train followed them until an emerald green shoe stepped it on. "Darien where do you think your going" A lady's voice asked. Serena and Darien stopped dead right in front of the doors. Emerald seemed to be seething with green fire, "I told you if you didn't leave him alone you would be sorry," Emerald said deadly.

"What are you going to do to me?" Serena asked her smirking. "THIS" Emerald screamed and went for Serena's throat, Darien ripped off Emerald and two security guards pulled her off and away from the convention hall. People were talking to each other while Mina and the others ran over "SERENA" Mina yelled. "Are you o.k."? Lita asked in a scared manner.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Serena said with Darien helping her up. Cameras were flashing and reporters were all around. "Serena you might want to fix your dress" Raye said pointing to Serena chest. Serena looked down and her dress was almost completely showing her breasts "OH MY GOD" Serena screeched and pulled up her dress. Mina and Lita were silently giggling and Amy's eyes were watering with suppressed laughter, Raye had turned around to hide her laughter.

Darien leaned over to her ear "I thought it was a nice look for you" he whispered seductively. Serena blushed at the comment "Quiet you" She said giggling. "Mademoiselle are you o.k. Should we call an ambulance?" A lady asked. "No please it's o.k. I'm fine, I came here for one thing and that is to start the convention and my partner and I are here representing our company Moon Industries and that incident will not ruin this convention." Serena told her while a few cameras flashed.

"Oh She's right were behind schedule," A man said out loud. Two men in golden suits stepped up to the French door and opened them revealing the convention hall within. Before Serena and her friends could leave a police officer came up to them "Excuse me but we have been called to take away an Emerald Smith for assault and murder attempts" the police officer said. "Could you please come with me," He asked. "Yes" Serena said and followed the man "You may take your own cars" he said before going into the vehicle.

Serena waved for a limo and one came up to her immediately she and everyone else got in and the driver asked "Where to madam" "The police station" Serena told the driver. They arrived 5 minutes later and got out. "Could you wait for us please?" Serena asked. The driver nodded and she ran up the steps picking up her dress and went in. When they got inside they were in a lobby the police officer from before was waiting "follow me".

The officer led them down the hall and to the left where 5 cells were up against the wall. A lady with green hair and a green evening gown was in the cell in the middle. "Darien darling have you come to bail me out?" Emerald asked hanging on the bars for dear life. "No I haven't, actually I came here to press charges on you and to break off our engagement" Darien said. "WHAT" Serena and Emerald shrieked.

"Yes" Darien said and smiled, "Excuse me but what I have brought you all here for is to sign the charges papers" The police officer cut in. "Let me at them" Serena said, the police officer pulled out some pink forms from his desk. "Since you don't speak French I will just show you were to sign" the police officer said. "Where do I sign" Serena asked.

"Here and here" He pointed out. Serena signed her name and handed the pen back to the officer. "Thank you madam." He replied graciously. "You may leave now and Emerald smith you will go back to the Americas and have your trial there, Good day" Serena and friends left the building. They headed back to the convention hall and spent 3 hours explaining the stocks, business growth, and sales.

When Serena, Mina, Andrew, and Darien were done explaining about their companies, Mina and Andrew went off to find everyone else to go back to the hotel. Serena was talking to a company manger while Darien just sat down. Mina came over with Raye, Lita, and Amy. While Andrew had Greg, Ken, and Chad with him.

"Well I'm beat" Serena said, "Amen to that" Mina said, "I hate having to explain about these conventions every year" Serena said. "I know the feeling" Mina said, "So are we going back to the hotel" Raye asked. "Yeah" Serena said, Right at her words Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina started walking away leaving a stunned Serena behind. "YOU GUYS WAIT" Serena yelled and ran over to them. Darien and his friends saw the girls leaving and decided to head back to the hotel too.

All of them met outside and took the black and white limo back to the hotel. When they arrived Serena had fallen asleep. All the girls got out and Darien asked "Where's Serena" "She's sleeping" Mina yawned. Darien walked back over to the opened door to see a sleeping angel, he didn't want to wake her so he picked her up and carried her in.

They finally reached the landing of their hotel rooms, Mina and Andrew went to their room; Amy, Raye, and Lita went to theirs; Greg, Ken, and Chad went to theirs, leaving Darien out in the hallway. Darien shifted Serena so he could open the door, but when Serena felt her weight shifted her ocean blue eyes fluttered open. "Darien?" She asked, "Hey your awake" Darien said and pushed the door opened the door.

He carried Serena to the bedroom and laid her down. "Thank you" Serena said, "it was no problem" Darien said. Darien walked into the bathroom to get changed form his tux while Serena undid the back of her dress. Only one problem she couldn't her reach the last 5 five buttons, so she went for her last resort and knocked on the bathroom door. Darien opened "Umm...Darien could you undo the back of my dress I can't reach the last buttons" Serena asked. "Uh Sure" Darien said, Serena turned around and Darien unbuttoned the dress. "Thanks" Serena said.

She held up her dress as she walked away since she wasn't wearing a bra, Then went over to her suitcase and pulled out a yellow nightgown. This one at least went to her knees but went right above her chest with her chest showing a bit. She put her yellow robe over it and put some socks on and left the room. She sat on the couch and flipped the big screen on. When the TV went on it was the news channel, her mouth dropped open.

Serena was on the news, and to her surprise it was in English. The headline read "U.S. Executive attacked at Local Convention". "OH MY GOD, DARIEN" Serena screamed, Darien ran in "What" Darien asked. "Look I'm on TV" Serena said excitedly, Darien read the headline "Yeah it's my fault your on TV, both good and bad" Darien said glumly and sat next to Serena on the couch.

"Darien don't worry about it, Emerald going to jail for a long time" Serena said looking at him. "I know, I am very happy about it since I don't have to marry her now" Darien smiling. "So you're a bachelor" Serena smirked at him. "You could say that" Darien said looking at the television. "What does that mean" Serena asked. "This" Darien said and kissed her......... {A.N. Just to let you guys know they didn't do that.....yet....}.
