"where is Darien

"where is Darien?" Serena whined, staring expectantly at the door. her, lita, rei, and mina were all sitting in the arcade waiting for darien and ami.

"where could they be?" rei asked serena.

"I dont know!" serena complained. she had totally forgotten about 2 hours earlier that they were staying with Rini. now that full hunger had set in, she couldnt think of anything else. The front door jingled as someone walked in. Serena whirled around hoping it was darien. It wasnt. The other girls turned around to see who it was.

"Whoh! what a cutie!" mina whispered loudly, sticking her head up and over rei's. Rei shoved her down.

"move it mina I wanna see the hottie!" Lita peered up over their heads, and serena was getting smashed by Rei.

"ow! Rei woudja mind gettin off me?"

Rei lifted her hand off serenas head.

"sorry serena, but just look at him!"

"huh?" serena finally got a good look at the stranger. He had black spiky hair that had a tail in the back. He was dressed in a traditional male kimono with two gold hoop earings in his left ear. He made his way to the back, and went into the bathroom with the large bag he was carrying. All the girls collapsed when the door shut.

"Oh wow was he hot or what?" lita asked dreamily.

"who? me? why thank you!" came a voice from behind her. Lita jumped up, startled. Andrew looked down at her.

"and who might be the hot one here lee?" Lita stood up and nervously kissed him on the cheek.

"you are, my dearest darling forgiving honeysweet lover!" she said in a rush. Andrew smiled.

"Thats what I thought." and returned back to work Lita sighed and sat down. The girls whispered about the boy when they realized Serena still hadnt said a word.

"Serena, are you in there?" Rei asked, irritated. Serena shook her head. "Huh?what Rei?"

"Serena!" Lita and Mina clasped their hands over Rei's mouth as the stranger came out of the bathroom wearing street clothes. All the girls had invisible hearts dancing around their heads, but all Serena could do was stare. The stranger caught a glimpse at the 4 girls, and made his way towards them, keeping an eye on serena.

*this blond beauty really is quite my type..these others...* he thought, trailing off as he came to their table. He leaned down towards Serena.

"Hello there." Serena blinked and returned to reality.

"oh! i-uh-hi!" Serena said, flustered. The other girls sweatdropped, not quite believing what a fool she already sounded like.

" Whats your name?" he asked. Serena hesitated slightly. "serena Tsukino.....yours?" The stranger smiled. "My name is Seiya. That is all you need to know" he said mysteriously. Rei flung herself at him, sticking her palm in his face.

"Its nice to meet you seiya my name is Rei Hino!" Seiya shook Rei's outstretched hand, as well as the other ones.

*hmm...these girls are very friendly..just what I like in friends..*

"My name is Lita Kino" Lita said.

"And I am Mina Aino" Seiya smiled at all of them. Then he looked back down at Serena, who had been nearly trampled by rei. He gently lifted her hand.

"It is a wonderful pleasure meeting you all.." and he kissed serena's hand softly. "especially you, Serena" Serena tried mentally, but her body wouldnt let her pull her hand away.

"uhhhhmmmm ohhh...Its very nice meeting you...Seiya" Seiya smiled.

"I must be going. I hope to see you around" and he was gone. Lita mina and Rei all sighed with happiness. But Serena just stared at the hand he had tenderly kissed and thought.

*why doesnt darien ever do that? why hasnt darien made me feel....like this?*she thought. Rei came up and bonked her on the head.

"so serena now that it looks like you got a crush, waddia gonna do about darien?" Serena didnt say anything.

"well??" they all asked impatiently. Serena smiled as she looked at her hand.

"I want to see Seiya again." The girls stared at her. They did not expect that.

"Ami, would you mind shifting into a position that I want to sit in?" Darien asked. So far, however Ami decided to sit, that is how Darien sat. But now it was his turn. "Well, how do you want to sit?" Darien eyed her.

"Actually, I dont want to sit..." Ami rolled her eyes.

"What."

Darien laid down.

"I want to lay here." And with that, he pulled his arm down, causing Ami to fall onto his chest. She moved aside quickly and laid on her stomach with her cuffed arm going under her stomach to reach the chain that was constantly pulling on it. If darien had been laying the other way, she wouldnt have had to do that. But darien seemed content , so she didnt say anything. Then ami scooted over to the side of the bed and peered under.

"I wonder if Rini has any toys under here.."Ami murmered to herself, grazing her hand around underneith the bed. She felt a plastic body and pulled it out.

"Wow! A barbie! Let me play with it!" Darien said sarcasically.

"Funny" Ami said, and she tossed the barbie at him. she went back under, this time yanking Darien under with her.

"Help me find something to do" Ami instructed. Darien struggled to situate the chain on the bar. They wouldnt be able to go under very far at all, but they both had long strong arms so they could reach for anything.

"Hey lookie! A coloring book!" Ami exaggerated, pulling out a sailor moon coloring book.

"Hey! Sweet! I am on the cover!" Darien said, crawling out from under the bed and taking the coloring book from Ami, studying the picture of Tuxedo mask

"Lets see what she has colored so far." Darien flipped through the pages. "nothin..nothin..mini moon..nothin..nope...no..no..minimoon..Well I think you get it" Darien said, giving it back to her. Ami tossed it aside and reached back under. She came out with a pack of crayons.

"where there is coloring book, where there be crayons." she said. Darien raised his eyebrows.

"you are actually gonna color in that thing." Ami gave him a look.

"Can you think of anything better to do while being chained to a bed with a brain?" Darien shrugged.

"Color away" he said. Ami giggled and opened the book to Sailor Mercury.

"I should have known" Darien mumbled. Ami stared at the pictures.

"Do my legs look fat to you?"

Darien sighed.

Rini jogged down the street towards the arcade. "I hope they are still there!" she said between ragged breaths. She ran passed Hotaru's house, slowing a little.

"Hey Rini!" called a voice from the door. "Rini halted and turned.

"Hi Hotaru!" she cried, running up the steps into her best friends arms. They hugged for a minute. Hotaru had been ill, so Rini hadnt seen her in awhile.

"Guess what? Daddy said that Kaolinite is on vacation, he said you can spend the night!" hotaru exclainmed. Rini's eyes widened.

"Really? wow! ive never spent the night at your house before! My mom and dad are on vacation and I am sure Serena will let me!" Rini cried, forgetting all about Ami and Darien. Hotaru opened the door to her house.

"Well come on in and call her!" Rini followed her into the kitchen and hotaru handed her the white cordless phone. Rini tapped into the voice mail section of Serena's cell phone she had gotten for her birthday. "PLEASE GIVE YOUR MESSAGE" said a robot voice.

"Meatball head its rini im staying at hotarus tonight I know that you will say ok so I will see you tomorrow morning! bye" and she hung up. "there..thats taken care of!"

Serena was still dazed after the incident with Seiya.

"Hey you guys wanna come spend the night at the temple tonight?"

"yeah!" they all cried to Rei's offer.

"Um..well I cant because I have to watch Rini." serena said disapointed. just then, her cell phone went off. "mm? whats this?" she asked, clicking the blinking voice mail button.

"hi meatball its rini I am spending the night at Hotarus I know you will say ok see you tomorrow morning! bye" Serena smiled and clicked her phone back shut.

"guess I can after all!"
