"hmmm...i wonder if anyone misses us yet" Darien commented, shifting his weight. Ami shrugged.

"I told my mom I was going to the up-all-night scientific reserch society meeting tonight so she wont notice anything" Darien nodded.

"And the only one who will notice me being gone is Serena, but she will just figure im asleep, since everyone claims I sleep like im dead" Ami giggled.

"I sleep like a normal human being, thank you" Darien Yawned as the sun started going down.

"Hopefully the girls will be back before we find that much out about each other" Ami smirked as the room began to grow dark.

"yeah...i dont think we can reach the light, can we?" Darien lifted his eyes and looked at the switch, which seemed miles away.

"nope. Looks like were gonna be in darkness in oh say..an hour or so"

"Greaaaaat."

Ami was drawing little designs in the light pink carpet and Darien was playing with a peice of string. Ami looked up at him.

"Are you having fun?" Darien shrugged.

"I dunno. Im kinda making up a story about this string and this peice of lint" Darien explained, holding up the two. Ami took the string from him.

"OK lets make a movie with this string, that piece of lint, and.." she ripped a scrap of paper out of the coloring book. "this piece of paper."

Darien gave her the weirdest look ever thought possible.

"This is really going to your head isnt it. but ok, lets make a little show"

Ami smiled and laid down on her stomach. Darien laid acrossed from her, and both their arms were stuck in the same spot because of the chain.

"OK. look. This is Joe the string." Ami said, wiggling the white string.

Darien held up the lint with two fingers.

"And this is Bob the lint-man." Then Ami grabbed the piece of paper.

"And this is Sally paper-girl." Darien walked his little piece of lint over to 'sally paper-girl"

"Hello sally paper girl!" Darien said in his tuxedo mask voice.

"Hello Bob lint-man!" Ami said in a mock squeaky voice. Then Ami took the string and threw it in Darien's face.

"Yahh! sting attack!" Darien laughed and peeled the string off this head and threw back at Ami.

"I will get you Sailor Mercury!" Ami danced 'sally paper girl' around the string that had fallen on the floor.

"I am sailor Paper of treees and pencils and I will punish you in the name of Mead company!" Darien grabbed the lint.

"And I am Tuxedo bob, defender of dirt and fabric and I will punish you in the name of dryers everywhere!" Ami took the string and held it up.

"I am King Joe of the sewing machine villiage! The queen will not be happy! I must rid of you immediately!"

Darien and Ami went on like this for 45 minutes. Neither of them would admit it, but they were both having the time of their lives. They fought with the little string, lint, and shred of paper until the last light of day faded away.

"Darien I can't see" Ami complained.

"Neither can I . But Rini has a streetlight right outside her window, and that should be on any second." Sure enough, 30 seconds later the streetlamp flickered on. Ami yawned and clicked the light on her watch as she checked it.

"Its 8:39" she reported. Darien nodded.

"That means we have been in here for ...oh..4 hours or so." Ami sighed. "I am so bored." Darien didn't say anything. Then his face lit up. "Lets play truth or dare!" Ami hesitated.
