A Different Serena???
Breakfast and a Plan


Serena woke up and sat up slowly in her bed. She wished she hadn't let Satoshi take her clothes home and wash them. She wondered if he even knew how to wash a females clothing. Serena made her bed and made her way to her mirror and looked at herself. "Shower time." She took her hair a loose and grabbed her shampoo. She walked down to the linen closet and grabbed a towel and a washcloth. She went in the bathroom and thought about how in three hours Satoshi would be there to pick her up. She better hurry before the other girls get up and go to the door. She got undressed quickly and turned on the shower.

Satoshi looked at the clothes he had gotten from Serena. He was surprised she had let him take her clothes home with him to wash. He dropped them off at his sister's house. He liked Serena and he thought they had a wonderful time together last night. He handed the clothes to his sister. "Can you wash these for me please?"

"Are these yours?" his sister asked jokingly.

"No they're Serena's."

"Oh?" His sister smiled. "You have a girlfriend!!!!! All this time I thought that you liked guys!!! I'll wash them for you, and now I'm going to call everyone and tell them you have a girlfriend."

"Hey!!!" Satoshi watched as his sister walked away from him happy. Oh well he did like Serena. He was going to ask her out as soon as they got done with the ballet. He got his jacket and his keys. He walked outside to his car, made sure it wasn't dirty, and got in. He started to drive slowly over to Serena's. He smiled hoping that their breakfast would go well.

Serena got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body and one around her head. She snuck in her room and dried her body off. She put on her underwear and picked out a pair of jeans and a top, that helped show off her cleavage, on her bed. She blow dried her hair and brushed it. She then put her hair back into her odango style ponytails. Now she was a meatball head. She looked at herself in the mirror and checked herself out. She put on some foundation and powder. She them put on some blush and eye shadow, eyeliner, and her favorite shade of lipstick. After she checked her makeup in the mirror, she then went to where her clothes were laid out on the bed. She first found a pair of socks and put them on sitting next to her clothes, and then grabbed her pants. She carefully pulled the top over her head making sure not to mess up her makeup. She then went back to her mirror looking at herself and smoothing out her clothes, glad she hadn't ruined her makeup. She then grabbed some comfortable shoes, not sure what they would be doing after breakfast. She looked at herself in the mirror one last time thinking that she looked pretty good. She really didn't think that she was beautiful, but that she was just cute. She then remembered her crescent moon necklace and grabbed it and put it on. She grabbed her purse that sat on her desk, and walked out the door. She crept by and reached the front door and slid outside without a sound. She quietly opened the gate and stood outside waiting for Satoshi. She hoped that he would show up soon. She thought about last night and how much of a good time she had with Satoshi. They had just had some decaffeinated tea. She smiled and thought about his cute little laugh.

She heard a beep and looked up to see Satoshi drive up in his car. She smiled and ran to his car before the others got up and possible run outside to see what she was up to. She got in his car before he could get out and help her in. She fastened her seat belt and looked over at him. "So where are we going?"

Satoshi looked at her. "We're going to my…" he stopped wondering if he should go to his sisters house "favorite restaurant for breakfast." He hoped she didn't mind the little restaurant he chose. He liked little places where there could possibly be more of a romantic setting.

He pulled up to the little restaurant and stopped his car once he decided he was parked perfectly. He got out the car and walked over to the passenger side of the car after he shut his door. He waited for Serena to undo her seat belt, while he opened the door. He grabbed her hand once she was finished and gladly helped her out the car.

"Thank you," Serena said, as she took his hand while getting out the car. She looked at the quiet little restaurant that he had stopped at. She smiled at him and wrapped her arm around his arm after he had shut her door. She watched as he blushed, and then smiled. They went in together and picked a nice cozy spot in the corner of the restaurant. Once they sat down the waitress came and took their order for their drinks and their breakfast. They both chose the meal with scrambled eggs, bacon, and pancakes with their drinks of orange juice. "Are you ready for the ballet?" Serena asked.

Satoshi blinked as he realized he was staring at her. "Ummmm…as ready as I'll ever be."

"Yeah. I hope I don't get nervous and mess up. Practice is one thing, but the real actual show in front of all those people."

"It's okay Serena. I'll be there for you, to help you through the night. If we mess up, at least we'll mess up together."

"Awwww…" Serena smiled. She couldn't remember if Darien had been so sweet. Just then the waitress brought the juices. They both took a sip, because for some reason both of their mouths had gotten dry.

The waitress said, "You're food will be out in a few minutes." She walked off and left the two alone again.

"Serena… Please don't get mad, but why is it that you always want me to speed off so your roommates don't see us?"

"Oh that. Well, they are kind of mean to me and they would just tease us both. I don't mind being teased, but I don't want my friends being teased. That's why." She looked down at the table waiting for him to say something. She felt his hand on the side of her face and he gently rubbed it. Then she felt his hand move down to her chin and he lifted it up and looked deeply into her eyes. Her eyes were a bit watery as she looked back into his eyes. Darien had never done that before and she often wondered what it was like to feel such a gentle touch.

"Serena, that's really sweet, but you're going to have to stand up to them one day. If I'm around, I'll be there to lend you support. He smiled and she smiled back at him. Just then the waitress brought their plates. They both thanked the waitress and started to eat.

Darien got up early and took a shower. His nose was still bruised from where Serena punched him. He looked in the mirror to try to see how he could hide it. He realized the bruise wasn't that bad and smiled at himself thinking how handsome he looked. He combed his hair and styled it in the usual way, making sure the hair gel kept it in place. He then walked to his bedroom and grabbed some underwear out of his drawer. He looked in the closet and put on a pair of black slacks, a white shirt, and a black jacket. He checked himself out in the mirror. He grinned at himself again realizing he still had his good-looking model looks. He went to the phone and called each of the guys to tell them to meet him at "Jirenma" an exclusive restaurant for dinner. He then called the girls and left a message, after no one answered, to meet him there too. He decided that he would pair the guys up with each of the girls, excluding Raye of course. He thought maybe he would leave Jed by himself, since he was famous. Jed always seemed to get a lot of attention from screaming girls, so any one with him would get jealous. He decided he would pair Zachary with Amy, Nathaniel with Lita, and Marcos with Mina. Hopefully they would get along at the dinner tonight. Darien decided that he should go out and eat breakfast after all of the scheming he's been doing lately. He thought about going to the little restaurant just around the corner…

Artemis silently slipped out of Mina's room, when he heard someone in the shower. He went into Serena's room because she had left her door open, and slid under her bed. The cat seemed curious about Serena, since she never came over to pet him last night. He of course made sure not to watch her dress the whole time. After she finished dressing, he watched as she put on her crescent moon necklace. He stared at it for a while. He watched as she started for the door. He came out of his hiding place and followed behind her silently. He watched her move quickly down the hall as she made her way to the front door. He tried to keep up, but she was moving too quickly. He instead decided to go to the window, to see if he could watch her some more, but she was gone. Just then he heard the phone ring. He walked over to it and listened. The voice sounded familiar, like the man's voice from yesterday. Just as the machine stopped a door opened from in the back. Artemis walked towards the hall and watched as the tallest girl walked towards the door.

"I wonder who went out the door?" she asked. She then turned around and noticed a blinking light on the machine and pushed a button.

Darien's voice on the machine said, "Hello ladies. Look I would like for you to meet me for dinner at "Jirenma," before the ballet. We have some things to chat about. Make sure to wear something nice ladies. Well I will see you ladies at dinner." The tall girl squealed with delight and Artemis ran under the couch to hide. He heard doors open from the back and footsteps quickly approaching.

"Lita are you okay?" asked Mina.

"Have you lost you damn mind?" asked Raye.

"Lita tell us what's going on," said Amy.

"Darien called and invited all of us to dinner at "Jirenma!!!!" she squealed again, after spitting the sentence out.

"What?!?!" Raye went to the answering machine and played the message again. "He sure did." She was kind of upset that he hadn't just invited her.

"All right!!!" exclaimed Mina. "I want to go, but I'm not sure that I should leave Artemis alone."

"He's a cat Mina, he is a very independent creature and will hunt for his own food, if it is absolutely necessary," Amy said very precisely.

Artemis just looked at them jumping around like they won the lottery. He walked to the door, and started to scratch.

"Oh he wants out," Mina said. She ran to the door and let him out. "He must be going out with some cat friends."

"Hey where's Serena?" Lita asked.

"Yeah where is the bitch?" Raye asked.

"You guys be nice," Mina said.

Amy didn't say anything. She had all ready walked towards Serena's room and had opened the door. She stood there astonished as she looked at a perfectly tidy room, with the bed made up. "You guys…Serena is gone." The others ran to the door and looked in amazed. "Not what you thought her room would look like huh guys?" The others nodded.

"I wonder where she went?" Mina asked.

Outside Artemis walked around to see if he could find Serena, but he couldn't. He remembered he had some place to go. He looked both ways before he crossed the street and started to head down town.
