Chapter: 2- Saturday Night

Serena woke up that morning to the sun shimmering through her curtains. She yawned lazily as she sat up in bed but frowned as she remembered the events of the day before. She turned her head to the clock hanging on the wall beside her bed.
"Oh, no way!" She exclaimed. "It can't be THAT late!" the clock read 10:45

Serena rushed into the shower and began to shampoo her hair. It was then that she was reminded that she no longer had a job to hurry too. She stopped for a second and growled loudly to herself before washing the white foam from her hair. What would she do now? She had no job, her car was damaged, She had her rent due in a few weeks, She had bills to pay, a ticket to pay off and now she was dateless. She stepped out of the shower and walked into her bedroom. She slid her wardrobe door open and looked for something to wear. She smiled as she remembered Darien's message and his offer for dinner.
"Well... let's see..." Serena fast forwarded the message and jotted down the number on a piece of paper. "Ok. 836 4593..." Serena mumbled out aloud as she dialed the numbers. "One ring... two rings... three rings... 4 rings..." Serena counted nervously. She didn't quite know why she was nervous but she was.

"Heeello?" A soothing male voice picked up.
"Hi! Darien..." Serena didn't know what to say next.
"Oh... hey Meatball Head... how did you get my number?" Darien asked smoothly.
"You gave it to me remember? Or does your arrogance take up so much room that you can't afford to save any space to remember who you try to flirt with." Serena retorted.
"Ouch!" Darien mocked "Actually... I do remember leaving a message on your answering machine last night. So you decided to take me up on my offer?" Darien asked, seriously.
"Hmm... I don't know..." She thought to herself... playing along.
"Well then why did you call if you weren't gonna come?" Darien pushed on
"Well... because..." Serena didn't know what to say. She was actually dumbfounded.
"Because..." Darien asked.
"Umm... Well..." She tried to buy herself some time to think of an excuse.
"You don't know, do you?" Darien grinned.
"No...I mean yes." Serena quickly corrected herself. "I mean... I don't know." She finally admitted.
"Well... I think you really do know." Darien played along.
"What are you talking about Shields?" Serena asked, a small smile playing across her lips.
"Well would you like to join me for dinner tonight?" He asked, straight forward.
"Are you asking me out on a date?" Serena smiled.
"Well... you could say it was a date... I prefer to call it dinner, dancing and a stroll in the park." He replied sweetly.
"Alright then, what time do you want to pick me up?" Serena giggled.
"How 'bout 6?" Darien grinned, proud of himself.
"Umm..." Serena thought.
"Come on Meatball Head! It's only 11:30! That should be plenty of time to get ready!" Darien reminded, cheekily. Serena laughed.
"Oh shut up! Alright, 6 it is." She smiled. "And stop calling me that stupid immature name!" She frowned.
"Hmm... maybe. Oh and one last request for tonight..." Darien
"What is it?" Serena asked curiously.
"Dress casually..." He said simply.
"Ok... sure... bye!" Serena hung up and smiled. *I've never felt this excited about going out since... well since my first date with Scott!* Serena thought to herself but shook the thought of her and Darien being a couple out of her head. "It will NEVER happen... we're two totally different people! And besides... he just wants to catch up and talk about the past." Serena added before groaning. "What am I gonna wear? I haven't worn a casual item of clothing for 1 and a half years! I don't even think I own anything casual anymore!

That afternoon Serena stopped in front of her mirror for the millionth time and looked at herself thoroughly. She was wearing a beautiful pale pink dress tat reached up to her mid-thigh area and was made of semi-transparent material over silky satin like material. It was clingy and had darker pink roses printed on the silky under-dress (thingy!) the spaghetti straps cross-crossed from her mid-back all the way up to her shoulders where they were lined with silver stitching and crossed over her shoulders.
"I hope it's not too formal!" Serena bit her bottom lip slightly. She grabbed her make up bag and walked over to her vanity table and sat herself in front of her mirror, sighing deeply. She began with her eyes and accented them with her eyeliner. She then carefully placed her mascara and neatly applied rosy pink eye-shadow on to complement the light natural blush already on her cheeks and to go along with her little "Pink Theme" that she had going on. She then began to apply a light coat of hot pink colored lipstick before applying a thin coat of lip-gloss to make her lips shimmer and shine. Se didn't put compact on because she wanted to keep her makeup simple tonight. She placed her gloss on the table and grabbed her small pink handbag and strolled over to her door before shutting and locking it behind her.

She stepped into her car and drove to the nearby Midnite Café. She parked her car in the area that was allocated for employees. Serena knew the manager, Steve and knew that he wouldn't mind. She smoothly stepped into the café and scanned the room while drawing attention to herself at the same time. By tat time, Serena had everyone in the café looking at her... everyone except one man who was sitting by himself at the bar. Serena smiled and walked over to the man lightly tapping him on the shoulder.
"Well, it's nice to see you finally arr-" Darien stopped in mid sentence as he stared at what Serena was wearing. She sat down beside him and giggled.
"What...?" Serena asked innocently.
"Oh-My-Gawd!" Darien exclaimed. Serena's eyes shot open as she looked down at herself.
