     A blast of cold air hit Serena in the face as she stepped out into the freezing December air. She took a deep breath and sighed. These were the kind of days she loved; ones where she wasn't late for anything, school had let out the day before for Christmas break, and the only think on Serena's mind was taking a leisurely walk in the odd winter mix of warm sunshine and freezing air to the arcade. The few remaining fallen leaves on the sidewalk made a satisfying *crunch* under her feet as she strolled down the street. For the first time inwell, just for the first time EVER she saw Darien Chiba before she ran into him, sidestepped him neatly, and walked into the Arcade without falling or humiliating herself in any way.

     'Ha! Maybe I should walk slower more oftenthe look on Darien's face when I didn't trip over him was priceless!' Serena thought with a self-satisfied smirk. 'On the other handhe does get the most adorably annoyed expression when I do trip over him'

     She became so lost in her mental dilemma over "To trip over Darien Chiba, or To Not trip over Darien Chiba" that shetripped over Darien Chiba, who had went into the arcade behind her and passed her, trying to walk over to his normal place at the counter.

     "AhhhBloody Hell Meatball Head!!!!" Darien yelled in frustration as he hit the floor.

     "Sorry, Sorry! WaitDid you just say 'Bloody Hell'?" Serena asked as she picked herself up off the ground, trying not to laugh. Her efforts were futile, however, as in the next instant she was rolling around on the ground, shaking in helpless laughter.

     "Bloody hell! *wild laughter* He said *snort* Bloody Hell!!! *insane laughing* Have you been watching a few to many British movies Darry old boy?" She managed to gasp out in between bouts of uncontrollable laughter.

     "No!!!" Darien said indignantly. 'Yes.' He thought to himself before turning and walking away from the laughing girl on the floor of the arcade.

     Serena was still on the floor laughing when her friends Mina, Raye, Ami, and Lita walked in, five minutes later. The four shared a 'what the heck now?!' look and in one motion hefted their giggly leader to her feet.

    

     "Come on Sere! We've been looking everywhere for you!" Mina said as they led Serena to an emptey booth and each took a seat.

     "Sorry, what's up?" Serena asked wiping tears out of her eyes as she finally stopped laughing.

     "We want to have a Christmas Party on Christmas Eve, remember? We need to start planning" Ami reminded her.

     "Oh, right! So what do we have so far?"

     "Just that it'll be here, all of us, Andrew, Rita, Molly, and MelvinandDarien" Raye repyied, finishing the last bit in a rush.

     "WHAT??? Darien??? Uh-uh! No way, No sir, IT'S NOT HAPPENING!!!! You can't invite my worst enemy to our Christmas party!!" Serena exploded.

     "Awww, I didn't know you caredMeatball Head" Came a scathing voice from behind her.
