Serena was about halfway to the Arcade when
a bolt of lightning made her stop running and look around at what was going on
outside. She'd been in such a hurry when she left she hadn't noticed the
ominous black clouds overhead. She noticed them now, and quickly became
terrified. She'd never liked storms; they'd scared her since she had been
caught out in one as a child. She glanced up at the sky worriedly and continued
running towards the arcade. 'It's not storming yet, it's not storming yet…I can
make it to the arcade before it…'she thought just as the clouds opened up and
launched a heavy stream of ice droplets down onto the ground.
"Arrawwwww!" She shrieked in indignation.
She continued running for the arcade, though it was much more difficult now
that she couldn't see two inches in front of her because of the rain.
"Oomph!" a deep voice yelled as she
collided with it in the icy rain.
"Darien!" Serena had never been happier to
see her archenemy in her life. She latched herself onto him in a death-gripped
bear hug. Darien looked down at the shivering blond goddess in his arms.
"Uhh? Nice to see you too Meatball Head?
Scared of storms?" He asked as a bolt of lightning caused her to burrow deeper
into his arms. His only answer was her head nodding against his chest.
"Well come on, the Arcade is only a few
blocks away. Lets get out of the rain; wouldn't want them to start the party
without us!" He said in a reassuring voice. Again, all she could do was nod.
Somehow they managed to get to the Arcade, though it was difficuly walking on
icy streets with someone giving you a frigtned bear hug. Since the quickest way
there was through a side street, they arrived at the back door of the Arcade
first. Darien had a key and unlocked it. They stepped inside, greatful to be
out of the icy rain.
"Hello?" Darien called, walking through the
back room to the main area of the Arcade.
"Where is everyone?" Serena asked,
following him after taking off her winter coat in the back room.
Darien turned to look at her and was
momentarily speechless. The heavy coat she had been wearing had protected the
pale silvery-blue gown she was wearing from being soaked. Despite her wet hair
she looked like a godess.
"Ummm uh duh..Oh! It looks like we're the
only ones here Meatb..Serena"
"Eloquent. Where is everybody? I thought I
was late." Serena said.
"I dunno, I thought I was late too…hey,
look at this" Darien noticed a paper taped to the window.
"It's a note from Drew…It says the party is
off because of weather and everyone should stay home until it's safe to go
outside. A little late for the warning, but hey." He said with a rueful shrug.
"Wait, you mean you…and I…are stuck
here. Together. You and Me. Here."
"Yeh, I guess that's what it means." Darien
slowly grinned, looking like the evil wolf.
Serena stared at him for a full 10 seconds.
Then she flew at the front door and began pounding on it with all her might.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Darien laughed.
