Chapter 4: Costume Party Under the Stars! Ai Hirogaru (Love Blossoms)

" ODANGO!!!!!!!!!!!" Darien screamed as he stuck his head out of Yaten's black convertable. Serena and her friends turned back as they were about to walk into the cabin. Serena gulped. The four girls crept inside quickly. Darien and his four friends backed Serena against the door.
" Um... hey." she said. " Thought it was funny to steal my car, huh?" " Kind of." " And my wallet?" "I didn't steal any money." " That's not the point." " Lighten up. I'm just getting back at all the dumb crap you did to me as a kid!" " She has a point." Taiki said. " Right, and at least I didn't scratch your car..... unlike some other people here." " Yes, Serena is right, Darien." Yaten said clenching his fist.
" Look........ you don't need to get out of hand. It wasa prank. Chill.." she said using a small spell on him. " Yeah............ I guess............ sorry." he said dazed. " Goodie! Bye! Come on gals, we got costumes to try on." Serena said happily. " Hai." the four chirped as they ran inside. " Darien, why did you.... Darien?" " Pretty wood. It's so kawaii!" he said hugging the doorway. " What did he eat?" Yaten pondered.
------------------------------------------------------

Serena smiled in her princess costume. She looked great in the silver creation. Ami was dressed as a giant star. Lita was Presea from Rayearth. Minako was dressed Soi from FY. " HAHA!" she praticed. Rei, havng no choice of costuming left, was a huge rabbit. " Hey look! Ms. Rei Bunny." " Who are you calling a bunny, Serena!"

In the guy's room, Darien admired prince armor costume. "Yeah, I look hot." "Trying to impress a certain odango blonde?" Seiya asked. He was dressed as a rat. " Shut up." " Hey, what do you think?" Taiki asked. He was a giant jellyfish, but looked more like a uterus. (pun INTENDED) " GUYS WHAT ABOUT ME!" Yaten squealed in his Nuriko costume. " Yeah, you were born be a transvestite." HEY! RAT!" " Calm down guys. Now, Taiki, what are you supposed to be?" Darien laughed. " A jellyfish." " You look like a big uterus." Yaten said. " Shut up!" Taiki muttered. " Boys boys. Play nice." Seiya said. " SHUT UP!" both said smacking him. " HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME?!" Andrew said. He was dressed as Ferio. " Yeah. Nice tights." Yaten said. " Are you mocking me?" " Of course."


A girl with long lavender hair and blue eyes knocked on the cabin door. " Hello? Hello? Serena! Darien!" Serena came down and opened the door. "Hey, Lilac! What took you so long!" Serena said hugging her long time friend. " Sorry, I had to get Lily out of bed. She just got home this morning from college." " Oh. So, come on! The girls are all here!" " Okay." She ran upstairs after Serena.

" Lilac! Hi!" Ami said. " Hi!" She said. She looked at their costumes. " Presea, a star, a princess, Soi, and a rabbit? Nice Rei." " Shut up." she said grumpily. " So what are you going to be Lilac?" Serena asked. " Miaka." " Figures. OH! Where's Taka?" " Taka? He's around town getting hurricane lights." " Seriously, you got that poor boy wrapped around your finger." Lita said. " I do? No. He's just helpful." Lilac said. " Sure... anyway. Mina, Lita, come on! We got to get some stuff." " Oh right! Ami, Rei, Lilac. Just hang out. We'll be back soon." " Okay. So, where's Darien?" " Next door with his friends. Look out for Seiya." Serena said. " Hai."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taka Sou was wandering down main street. He had some hurricane lamps in a bag. " Geez. Where did Lilac say she was going?" " TAKA!" He turned to see Serena, Mina, and Lita. " HEY! Wow! You guys look great!" he said. " You too. Hey! I got an idea!" Mina said. " Huh?" " Come on Taka!" Mina said leading him into a hair cutting place.
Taka's hair was dark blue. It was long and he kept it back in a ponytail. " Cut my hair?" " Yeah. Come on! Show Lilac how cute you are!" " Oh fine. I'm going as Tamahome anyway." " That's the spirit."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The large light blue house was right on the docks. In the back, hurricane lamps were lined giving a cool glow. Costumed people all were dancing and having fun. The girls and Lilac all looked around. " Wow. How pretty." Serena said. " Hey, Sere, I can't believe you decided to not wear your odango style." Lilac said. " Why would I? You're the odango tonight!" " Not funny."
" Look at all the cute girls!" Seiya said. " Please put your tongue in your mouth rat-boy." Yaten said. " Shut up, she-male." " Aahhhhh. This costume is so nice." Taiki sighed. " These tights are tight." Andrew whined. " Shut up and party." Darien said. " Easy for you to say, girls love you." " Can't help it if I'm cute."

" LILAC!" a girl with long black hair and blue eyes dressed as a goddess yelled. " What is it Lily?" " Look who's here!" the girl said excited. Two girls appeared next to her. One was tall with long red hair and tanned skin. She was wearing a black feathered costume. The other had long silvery blue hair and blue eyes and was wearing a lavender suit. " Akane! Reiko! When did you get here?" Lilac said. " This morning." "Wow! Oh, I'm such an odango. Reiko, Akane, these are my friends Serena Tsukino, Ami Waters, Rei Fireston, Lita Woods, Mina Love. Guys, these are my two oldest friends, Akane Karasuma and Reiko Aya." " Nice to meet you." both parties said.
Mina looked around. " Hey! There's Yaten! I'm going to go say hi." " Sure. Have fun." Rei teased. Mina walked over to Yaten and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me Nuriko, care to dance with a Seiryuu Seishi?" Yaten smiled. " Well, okay."
Andrew walked over to Lita. " Excuse me Presea, care to dance?" " Of course Ferio." Lita and Andrew laughed as they danced.
Rei and Seiya decided to dance with each other since they were dressed idiotically anyway. Ami and Tiaki danced too.
Serena sighed and sat with Lilac. " Sere, why don't you ask Darien to dance?" " Yeah right. What am I going to do? Walk up to him, smile and say, ' Darien, would you care to dance you insensitive baka?' " " But of course." Darien said from behind. Serena winced. " Well, fine. I have nothing better to do."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lilac sat alone sweat-dropping. " I want to dance. It's my party." " Then let's dance." She turned around to see........ " Ta. ma..... home?" " I guess my costume is THAT good." " Sure. I'd love to!" The two danced.
Reiko and Akane were sitting together. " Wow, I wish someone would ask me to dance." Akane sighed. " That would be fun!" Reiko said munching on snacks. " Do you ever get full?" " Nope." " Pass me a chip."
" So Princess Odango, having fun?" Darien asked. " That's Princess Serenity to you, royal pain." " That's Prince Endymion to you." " Fine. Okay. Princie." " Haha. Very funny." " It was, wasn't it?" she grinned.
The song ended. Serena bowed and was tapped on the shoulder. She turned to see four girls standing before her. " Oh my gosh! Alex, Michelle, Sonya, Heather!" " Hi!" they all said. Alex was dressed as a flapper, which was VERY not like her usually tomboy look, Michelle was a pinstriped ganster, Sonya was a gypsy, and Heather was a dark angel. " I love your costumes!" " Yeah, yours is very cute Princess." Sonya grinned. She pulled Serena aside. " You've been using your magic?" "Uh huh. I'm getting better." " Okay, just don't get noticed. I should warn you, Darien knows the same planet mana magic we do." " Huh? No way." " It's true. He's in tune with Earth mana. Don't piss him off." " I would never. And besides, my lunar magic can best his." " Sigh..... well, probably. But I wouldn't try it." " Okay. I won't."

" Yaten, do you like me?" Mina asked. " Of course I do! You're so damn cute." " Aw..... so are you!" "Thanks!" " So....." " So....................................... how are you?" " Good, you?" " Fine."

" Wow, who are you? You look so much like Tamahome from Fushigi Yuugi." Lilac said. " You don't know who I am? Lilac-chan, I'm hurt." " Taka?! Sugoi, it is! Wow, you look so different." " Well, Mina and Lita did it." " Kakkoi." she said with large eyes. " You okay, Lilac.." " Hai..."

"Rei, let's sit down." Seiya said. " Hai. I'm sick of this costume!" " Take it off." " It's all I'm wearing!" " Oh." Seiya said blushing. " Well, next year, I'll remember to buy a costume before hand." Rei said. " Hmm... so Rei, wanna go out sometime?" " Well, actually Seiya, I have a boyfriend.........His name's Chad Kumada!" " Aw damn!" Seiya said.


Serena and Darien were dancing again. " I know this song. Hayashibara Megumi sings it." she said. " Really? What's it called?" " Going History."


Dareka o kizutsukete ubatta koi na no ni
hantoshi mo tatanai uchi ni ai no kakera mo kieta
ochikonda tsuka no ma mata, koi o shita kedo
ai ja nai, sekishisa o umeru koibito toiu ROZARI o
hito ha doushite KISS o shitagaru no
hito ha doushite futari de nemuru no
We can We can any time
maji ka wakaranai kokoro, nani mo iwanai

Even though it's a love war that I won by hurting someone,
before half a year passed I lost interest.
It was only a short time I was depressed, before I fell in love again.
But it's not true love, just one who would fill my sad heart in the name of a lover
Why do people kiss?
Why do people make love?
We can We can Anytime
I don't know if I am serious or not, my heart does not say a thing

" So, Serena, nice party huh?" " Hmm......." she agreed, not paying attention to anything else but them. " You okay?" " Yeah, just thinking." " So, got a boyfriend?" " Pretty forward, huh?" " You know me." " I used to." " What?"

* kurushii hodo setsunai hodo
suki na HITO ni aitai
machi ga umare kawaru kurai
itoshii HITO ni aitai

I want to meet some one I'll love,
So much that it's bitter, so much that it hurts!
I want to meet someone I'll cherish
so much that the world will seem to me refreshed

" Nothing. Just that...... I don't know. Something's different about you." she said. " Oh? I'm two years older from the last time you saw me." " That's not it. I don't know. Maybe I'm just over thinking." " That's a change." "Stop teasing. I'm trying to be serious. No, I don't have a boyfriend." " Why?" " None of the guys interest me. They're not for me." " Oh? Haven't met the right one?" " No. I want to though..... I shouldn't tell you this." " Oh? The enemies thing. Well, I know how you feel."

soshite itsuka furi kaereba
natsukashii omoide o
atsuku kataru jibun ni naru tame
aruku yo History

And someday when I look back
and know myself enough that I can talk strongly
about my old memories,
I'll walk it. History.

" Do you?" "Hai. Always looking for someone who you know is the one." " It's not easy. It's lonly in a way." " You can have friends, but you still feel empty inside." " Like something's missing." " Funny, we can get along for a while, then be mad at each other in a while."

denwa sae nara nai kyuujitsu no heya ni ha
yari sugoshita yume ga tada yoko ni yori sotteiru
kodoku o kanjiteru kokoro o uchi keshite
BEDDO ni soberi konde ha asaga kuru no o matta
yume ha doushite tooku he nigeru no
yume ha doushite tanin no mono na no
We can We can any time
maji ni naketekuru asu mo nani mo mienai

In a room where the phone does not ring on a holiday
A dream that I worked too hard on lays there.
I smash out the part of me that feels lonliness,
and slide into bed waiting for morning to come
Why do dreams run far away?
Why do dreams belong to someone else?
We can We can Anytime
I really start to cry; can't see tommorow or anything!

" I want to find that someone. Before I give up." " Don't give up, Serena. I'm sure whoever we're looking for is out there. Don't give up that dream." " Yeah, you're right. Even though it's sad, I won't give up." " That's right! Cause we'll have to make a bet on who has a date for New Years!"

** mabushii hodo tsuranuku hodo
muchuu na yume mitsuketai
toki ga hayaku sugiru kurai
tanoshii yume mitsuketai
soshite itsuka furi kaereba
natsukashii omoide o
atsuku kataru jibun ni naru tame
aruku yo History

I want to find a dream I'll concentrate on,
so much that it's bright, it will break through everything
I want to find a fun dream
so much that time flys right by me
And someday when I look back,
and know myself enought to talk strongly
about my old memories,
I'll walk it. History.

" Yeah! I'll concentrate on a new dream! Finding that one to beat you at a bet!" Serena said smiling. " Then we'll look back and talk about this as an old memory and laugh." " Hmm.... it's a bet!" " Agreed!"

* repeat
** repeat

" Oh, Happy Belated Birthday." Darien said giving her a rose. " Belated? I'd say. Well, here you go." she said using her magic to make a charm appear. " What is it?" " A good luck charm." she said smiling. "Ha, like I'll need it."
