The warm summer air blew through her blonde hair. She sucked in a deep breath before entering the arcade; she wanted to saver it's sweet morning smell. The Arcade bells rang in her ears as pushed open the door. She smiled when she noticed her friends Andrew and Darien talking at the counter. She took in one last breath of fresh air and walked inside.
"Hi Andrew-san, Hi Darien-Baka!" She piped playfully,
"Hello Sere!" Andrew said, cheerful as always. Darien said nothing, but continued talking,
"Helllloooo? Baka?" Serena said, waving her hand in his face.
"Oh! Sorry Meatball-Head. Didn't hear your loud wailing when you walking in I guess." Darien teased,
"Ha Ha." Serena said, taking the seat next to him.
"The usual?" Andrew asked, Serena simply nodded. She busied herself writing something in a green Composition Notebook. Darien rolled his eyes, he recognized that book,
"Do you ever put that stupid thing down?" he asked, turning his chair to face her. She frowned and glared at him,
"FYI, I keep all my songs in here and one day I'll"
Both: "be the most" but Serena stopped and furrowed her brow when Darien began,
"Famous singer in the world." He finished. She rolled her eyes and continued to write. Darien sipped his coffee casually. Running a hand through his dark ebony hair, he asked,
"What ya doing tonight?" he asked,
"Hum? Oh, Jordan is taking me out later. He said he had something special planned. That's reminds me, he said it was formal. I gotta go find a new dress...you wanna help?" Serena set down her book and waited for an answer. Darien shrugged,
"A day shopping with the most shop-aholic girl in Tokyo, driving all around the city, most likely to be giving useless opinions, caring bags and boxes of clothes, make-up, and shoes, taking you out for lunch, dragging all your stuff to your apartment, then you'll kick me out cuz you'd have to go on your date with Jason and I'll be stuck at the arcade the rest of the night?" Serena thought about it for a moment, then nodded,
"Basically."
"K"
************************
"Oaf, ouch!" ~that's the 4th bang I've heard in there, ~
"Sere, you okay?" Darien asked, knocking on the door she was behind.
"Darien...help..." she whined. Darien shook his head,
"Alright." He said, opening the door just wide enough for him to fit. He closed the door behind him, and then drew his attenchion to Serena. She sat on the floor, arms crossed, and an angry pout on her face. Laughing, he lifted her up from the ground.
"Turn around." He said, moving her body to face the wall. He untangled the dresses zipper from her bra and zipped it the rest of the way.
"Thanks," she said turning around, "How's it look?" She asked spinning around. Darien looked over her, ~Nice color; it's not too tight on her; it's good. ~
"Looks good." He said. She checked in the mirror,
"You think Jason will like it?" she asked him. ~No Sere I don't, he's never pleased, and I don't know why you like that guy, he has a reputation for cheating, and you guys just aren't right.
He'll love it!" Darien said, picking up her things, "Come on, and get dressed."
******************************
'Hey Darien, watch the arcade for me, okay?' That's what Andrew said as he left, 'I'll be back in a few.' He said. ~Now I'm stuck hear on a Saturday night, board to death. ~ Darien thought. Arcade doorbells rang and stomping heals were heard. "Serena's here." He said to himself,
"Andrew? Andrew where are you?" She yelled out. Stepping out of the workers room, he said,
"Here's not hear Sere, but he'll-"
"Oh Darien!" she cut in, "Just who I was looking for!" She squealed,
"I thought you were looking for Andrew?"
"I was looking for him so I could find you! But anyways, remember how I told you Jordan said he had something special planned for me?" she asked, Darien nodded, ~I really hope this isn't another one of her long stories about her boyfriend~ he thought,
"Yeah, I remember that." he said,
"Well," she began smiling, "He proposed!" She squealed, holding out her hand for his viewing of the large blue rock on her finger. His mouth formed an O, ~he actually proposed to her? ~
Whoa...I mean...Wow, that's great!" He picked her up and spun her around. ~I can't believe that guy proposed to her~
He asked at dinner, it was so romantic!"
"I can't believe it...My little Meatball-Head, getting married!" he said, setting her down and smiling, ~they are so wrong. ~ He thought,
"Uh-ah, Sorry, can't call me YOUR Meatball-Head anymore." She said, waving her finger. ~But, I've always called her my Meatball-Head. ~ He swallowed a lump in his throat, ~I guess I'll have to grow up sometime. ~
"All right," he said, grabbing her waving finger. "You win."
"I always do!" She said grinning.

(1 year ago)
I tapped my fingers on the desk, thinking ~now what? ~
"Hey twerp! Were going to McDonalds, come on!" My mom's friends conceded jerk, yet totally hot, son, Shawn, yelled to me...
"McDonalds...." I repeated,
(Present)
I couldn't believe it. I hadn't seen Shawn in, like, a month. I remembered what happened at McDonalds: He threw me over his shoulder, and tossed me in the ball-pit. I had fun, but I still yelled at him. Shaking my head of the thought, I continued on down the story.
*********************************
After meeting their friends at McDonalds, and driving Serena home, Darien finally got to go home. He sat down thinking about Serena's plans. Ami Anderson is her Maid of Honor, Rei Hino is The Priestess, and Lita Kino is the Ring
Barrier, and Mina Anio is the Flower girl. He met of few of Sere's new friends down there to. This guy-girl named Amara Tenou, and his/her girlfriend, Michelle Mesh are gonna play the music, Molly Brown and a little girl named Hotaru Tomeo are gonna be her Brides Maids. He also met this older woman named Trista Mayo would design the place for them. Darien was to give her away, since he was her first friend and all. Of course, she was his to. She made that clear. ~That's my Meatball-Head, Don't think Jordan would enjoy that much, er...just Meatball-Head. She's not mine anymore. ~ He thought. ~I wonder why she would love Jordan. He seems so unworthy of her. Nope, not my Sere anymore. She's his now.
Not like she was REALLY mine before, but they just don't fit. He's the type that gets around, not to settle down. Well, it's not my choice, she knows him better than me. He's probably one of those guys who have a totally other side that are only discovered by their one and only. ~ He paused, ~ She's his
Now. ~ The next day, Darien, along with everyone else, got an emergency call that Jordan wanted the wedding ready by Friday, in 5 days. Everyone set to work, it wasn't gonna be easy.
