Darien and Serena walked back to Serena's hotel room, drenched. When they got into the room, Serena got them a couple of towels
and 2 bath robes, while Darien ordered a couple of doughnuts and hot chocolate. They sat on the bed listening to music, eating
and talking. When a slow song came on, Darien asked Serena to dance.
"haha. How romanctic. Dancing in bathrobes." Serena giggled.
"Oh you be quite." Darien laughed.
"No! I won't-" Darien kissed her before she could finish. And it didn't stop there.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Sere?" Darien asked.
"I'm ready. I know I am. I love you Darien." Serena said, he kissed her again...you can guess what happened next.

From Istanbul they were expected to fly to Egypt, change planes, travel on to Singapore, Bangkok, Delhi, Hong Kong and Japan.
After that, they flew to Germany to collect an award for Best Group. Late in the eveing, they flew to Paris. Victoria and
Serena went out shopping.
"Oh, that looks good on you Seren." Victoria said. Serena tried on a gray gucci suit.
"Its 1000 dollers, Victoria!" Serena yelled as she saw the price tag.
"So what! Were popstars. We can afford it." Victoria said, Serena nodded, and bought the suit. While looking for other
clothes, Serena brought up a question.
"Tor, have you notice how Geri's been acting." Serena asked.
"Yeah. She seems so sad, and disent. Do you think she wants to leave the group?" Victoria asked.
"I don't know. I really hope not. She's like my sister. I don't know what I'd do." Serena said.
"Well, lets just hope. What would we be without Ginger Spice?" Victoria joked.

"I wanna go home." Serena winned.
"Me too. Camilla, see if we can get a cheap jet home." Mel C. said
"Alright," Camilla said. After calling for about 30 mins the cheapest was $2,214.84. They arranged it so they would fly home
that night, and spend all day friday with there familes.

"Mum, what am I going to do? I have 2 lives. My Destiny is in Tokyo, but my life is here." Serena said.
"Well, I don't know what to tell you Serena. What if you switch of breaks. Like if you get a break next month, stay here, then
if you get a break the next month, then stay in tokyo with Irene." Pauline said. Serena thought about it.
"You know, that would work. Thanks mum! You solove all my problems!" Serena said hugging her mum.


"Hey Serena, meeting in Geri's room, now." Mel B. said coming into Serena's hotel room in Rotterdam.
"okay." Serena said, with a curious look on her face.

"We want to sack Simon." Geri said.
The girls all looked at each other.
"Yeah, let's do it," they roared in agreement. There was a mixture of excitement and fear of the unknown.
"We'll survive." Serena said.
"Yeah. I know. But what about the next week or the week after?" Victoria asked.
"We'll jumo off those bridges when we come to them." said Mel C.
"Lets make a pack, right here right now. We stick together regardless of the consequences. There's no backing out. And friends
first." Geri said.
"Argreed! On our Spice Rings!" Serena said.
"On our Spice rings!" everyone repeated.


Early, next Friday moring, Geri drove to Serena's house to pick her up. They had tea and toast in the kitchen. Then, Pauline
gasped.
"Serena! Look at this!" Pauline said, handing her the paper. Serena and Geri gasped also when they read the artical.
It talked about how Serena and Simon had an affiar, and the other girls were jelouse because of the special treatment he gave
Serena, and that was why they sacked him.
"I can't believe this! Its not true! oh my god." Serena said, then ran to her room crying. Pauline was about to flow, when
Geri stopped her.
"I'll talk with her." Pauline nodded her head. Geri went up to Serena's room.
"Serena, don't worry about it. It'll be forgotton by tomorrow." Geri said, rubbing her back.
"NO! I wan't it to be forgotten now! Im 17! he is like over 30! It'll make me look like a slut, and everything." Serena said.
"Then we'll make a press statement tonight. Okay?" Geri said.
"That sounds better." Serena said. The phone rang.
"Hello?" Serena said, sniffing.
"Serena? Are you alright?" Darien asked.
"Darien! Oh Darien! Its not true! Please don't believe it!" Serena cried into the phone.
"Serena, I know. Its okay. I expect these kinda stories to come up. I won't believe anything I hear from the papers, unless
it is comfirmed by you. So be alright." Darien coforted.
"Oh Darien, I love you." Serena said.
"I love you too. But I gotta go. Call me later tonight if you can, okay?" Darien asked.
"Alright, by love." Serena said.
"By Baby." Darien said, and they both hung-up the phone.

A solid wall of flash guns kept firing as they waved and grinned.
