"Who's your favorite actor?" Lita passed a small blue ball to Mina.
Mina caught it, "Actress... and it's Ali Snow."
"Who's Ali Snow?" Ray set more paper plates on their blanket.
"She played on An Army Tale... It was sooo romantic!"
Ray rolled her eyes, "I thought that movie was over exagerated. None of that stuff would have happened in real life!"
"Would too!"
Mina was about to throw the ball to Serena but stopped when she saw Serena licking her sticky fingers.
"Serena?"
"Um?" She stopped and looked at her friend,
"The ball?"
"Hold on... Ray do you have a napkin? This pie won't come off!"
Ray tossed her one and Serena quickly wipped off her fingers before grabbing the ball.
"Who do you have a crush on?"
"Andrew!" Serena quickly supplied.
"Hey! Andrew's mine!" Lita put in with a playful glare.
Serena stuck her tounge out at Lita.
"Hey, guys, isn't that Darien?" Ray looked over Serena's head.
Serena and the girls turned around. Sure enough Darien Chiba was walking by the lake with a book under his arm. He looked deep in thought.
"He's probably still griving over his loss." Serena snickered.
"Serena!" Ray scowled.
"Well he did lose! It was his own fault that he was feeling so confident with a game he never played."
"You never played the game either until you became Sailor Moon." Ray defended.
Serena ignored Ray and picked up another piece of pie with one hand. In the other, she still held the ball.
"Are we going to continue this game?" Lita asked.
"Why don't we ask Darien to join us?" Ray pushed herself up on her knees, "I bet he would love your cooking, Lita!"
Lita gave a small smile, "Well..."
"Lita! We can't do that. He's the EMEMY."
Mina rolled her eyes and took Serena's head in her hands and made her face the dark haired man, "Does he 'really' look like an ememy, Serena? No. He looks like a gorgous young man that needs some company."
Serena pulled herself away from Mina, "As if! He'll just tease me!" She sniffed hoping the girls would have sympathy on her. They didn't.
Ray jumped up, "I'll be right back, guys." She ran off towards Darien. Serena watched as the black haired girl stopped in front of Darien and started talking to him. She pointed towards the girls and Serena quickly turned around so as not to be caught staring.
When she thought it was safe, she turned back around only to see Ray walking back with Darien.
"Oh... no..." Serena groaned.
"Cool it, Serena." Lita teased, "He won't be that bad."
"You're not the one on the other end of the stick."
"Hello, Darien."
"Hey, Darien!"
Amy and Mina smiled brightly at the tall man. Serena mumbled to herself how horrible this situation was and kept her head down.
"Hello, ladies... and Meatball head." He quickly added.
Serena lifted her head up and glared at him, "I refuse to have him sit here!"
Ray glared at Serena, "Serena... cool it!"
Darien sat down between Serena and Ray with his book on his lap.
Serena pointedly looked away from Darien and at the pie in her hand. It was starting to feel gooy against her fingers.
"What were you doing all by yourself, Darien? Where's Andrew?" Lita asked.
"He has work. I just thought a walk would do me good."
"Obviously, it didn't." Serena mumbled but Darien heard her. He gave her a instant glare before turning back to Lita.
"Hungry? We were just starting on desert but there's some sandwiches left if you want some."
"Great."
They girls sat and ate happily with Darien... all but one anyway. Serena eventually ate her pie but by then her hand was majorly stickly. She licked the sugary apple pie filling off each of her fingers one by one then she started licking her palm. A napkin definatlly wasn't going to take all this off.
Darien watched Serena from the corner of his eye. Serena was licking her hand like a cat, her pink tounge ducking in and out with smooth movement. Was it getting hotter out here or was it just him? He swallowed hard and tried to keep his eyes off of Serena. Strangely enough her cleaning her hand with her tounge was very... arousing.
"How is school?" Amy asked him.
Darien shrugged his shoulders, "Good... School is what school is." He glanced at Serena, "How... how is school for you?"
Amy smiled brightly, "Wonderful, I actually caught up with my goal."
"Goal?"
"Yes, I'm seven chapters ahead."
Darien lifted an eye brow in amazement. Boy, was she dedicated to her studies.
"Why are we talking about school, Amy?" Serena leaned over and grabbed a napkin to wipe the few remaining stickly spots off her hand, "It's so depressing!"
"Fine, you pick a subject." Lita stuffed a cookie in her mouth.
"Favorite movies!"
"Titantic!" Mina raised her hand.
"Sleepless in Seattle." Lita leaned back on her hands and sighed.
"The Princess of Caraboo." Ray informed.
Amy looked thoughtful, "Cast Away."
"What? Amy, that movie was so boring!" Serena protested.
"I don't think so, it had a moral to it. And imagine what that man went through! It's amazing how anyone could come up with such an inspiring movie!"
Serena sighed, "Okay, have it your way. My favorite movie is Sleeping Beauty!"
Darien's attention snapped to Serena, "Sleeping Beauty, huh?"
"Yeah? What of it?" She challenged.
"Nothing." Darien looked amused.
Serena wrinkled her nose at him then asked, "What about you? What's your favorite movie."
"I don't have one... in particualar."
"I told you he was dense."
"Dense?" Darien questioned, "I'm not dense. Not seeing certain movies doesn't make you dense."
"It does too!"
"What? In the book of Meatball head?"
"Yea-Hey!" Serena glared at him hard, "At least I have a good perspective on things! Imagine if no one watched movies!"
"Yes, the horror!" Darien mocked.
Serena punched him in the arm.
"Darien is right, Serena. Just think back to the times when television and movies didn't exsist."
Serena frowned, "Yes, but they all died! Doesn't that tell you something?"
Darien and Amy groaned.
"Ya know what?!" Serena nearly jumped in his face, "If you've never seen a movie you can't have an appinion on it! Ha! You know the saying, if you haven't tried something to put it down... or something like that."
Darien smiled lightly, "You got me there, Meatball head."
Serena smiled proudly.
"Then I guess I better see some movies if I'm going to debate on this subject."
"You bet. But you have to pick the right movies. You can't go to all the dumb ones. You have to go to some good ones."
"Well, since you know ALL about them, why don't you take me to some?"
"WHAT?" Serena jumped back, "I didn't mean I was going to show you around like some tour guide!"
"Come on, Serena. You did say he has to see the good ones." Lita smiled, "Besides, isn't it about time you two stopped FIGHTING all the time."
Serena glared at Lita then sighed dejectedly, "Fine, but only to two movies!"
"Fine with me. I don't have time to go see every movie in the world."
"You should have time!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I mean, you are a work-a-holic!"
"What? What does that make you then?"
"Perfect!"
"What?"
"Yeah!"
The afternoon continued... into a long stressful day.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
"That good for nothing, jerk! He doesn't know what a good mind is! He just thinks 'cause he goes to COLLAGE he's the only one worth saying anything smart! Well, I'm smart!" Serena hit her pillow hard, "I may not get good grades but that has NOTHING to do with it!"
Luna sighed and snuggled against the covers at Serena's feet.
"Just wait, I'll show him every good movie there is until he gets it into his head that movies are a..." Serena smiled sweetly, "good thing. Like Sleeping Beauty!" Serena giggled and kicked her feet up and down, causing Luna to glare at her in annoyance.
Serena settled down and breathed deeply, "He is definatly seeing Sleeping Beauty."
And with that she fell asleep.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Darien rubbed his eyes and squinted at the clock. Eleven-thirty pm. He groaned, knowing he needed to get some sleep before his exam tomorrow.
He got off the couch and dropped his text book on the sofa. He walked to his room and changed into some boxers before crawling into bed.
School... too much school to do.
His eyes closed...
"Oh no!" was the first thing that entered Darien's head as he drifted off to sleep. He looked around and once again he was in the same room he was in last night. The girl had jumped up on the couch, "You can't be here!" She pointed.
Darien sighed in disapointment. How could he have the same kind of dream twice?
He slouched down on the couch and rubbed his temples.
The girl eyed him for a while before slowly sitting down on the couch and slipping her feet off the side, "This isn't right. I never have dreams twice."
"Look, since we're going to be... ah... sleeping for a while can we please not talk? I'm getting a headache."
"Your getting a headache!" The girl stood up, "This is MY dream!" She waved her hands around. Darien winced.
"Did you watch the movie I told you to watch?" She spun on him.
"I didn't have time."
"That proves it."
"What?"
"You're a work-a-holic, aren't you?"
Darien rolled his eyes, "That's the second time I've been called that in 24 hours."
"Really, well who ever said it before me was right. If you can't have one hours time to sit down and watch one simple movie. There is something wrong with you."
"What about you?"
"I watch lots of movies!"
"And your school work?"
She crossed her arms, "I make time."
"You MAKE time?"
He could feel her glare on him, "Don't start! I already have a Mr. Know-it-all who tells me how bad my grades are!"
"Let me guess, these movies get in your way?"
"Hardly. It's the teacher."
"It's always the teacher."
"It is!"
"Right."
"Fine, I'm not talking to you."
"Fine with me."
Silence.
"What subject do you have trouble with?"
"I thought we weren't talking." She pointed out.
"Humor me."
"Math..." She sighed, "history, biology... and english is kind of hard too."
Darien was silent.
"What about you? You must get perfect grades if you study all the time."
"I get A's."
Serena sniffed, "Of course you would."
``````````
Pluto's POV -
This is not turning out how I wanted it at all. They're arguing instead of getting to know each other better. I pulled at my hair, "I need another plan..." I thought of putting them in a prison but that would hardly make a difference, besides, Queen Serenity would kill me if she ever found out.
What about... inviting more people in... like the scouts... No, that wouldn't do.
Memories! Ha! I got it! Then they would be forced to talk about something they have in common!
With a wave of my septer and a good honest thought my plans began to be put in motion.
```````````
"I know my ABC's. I'm not that stupid." Serena glared at the man in front of her.
The man chuckled, "I'm only trying to figure out what you know."
"What's it to you?"
"I could help."
"Sure."
"I'm serious. It's not like we have anything else to do in this... dream. We might as well study."
"I refuse to study in my sleep!"
The man shrugged his shoulders, "Suit yourself, I was only trying to help."
"My text books aren't even here."
"That's fine. I'm sure you can give me a hint as to where you are or what you don't understand."
"I guess."
The man grabbed a penciel and paper from a small table, "Come over here."
Serena hesitated before giving in to his command. She walked over and sat on the armchairs arm and looked down at the paper the man beside her was holding.
"Did you study this?" He drew a problem.
"Yes."
"This?"
"Yeah..."
"This?"
"What's that?"
"Okay, let's start from here..."
Serena watched his hand write down more problems. He had a big steady hand and his hand writing was nice. Serena looked at his face but she couldn't see it. He seemed to be hidden by a fog... just trying to look at his face made her eyes feel blury.
"How am I supposed to figure that out?" Serena snapped her attention back to the paper. It looked like a bunch of nonsense.
He laughed and began to explain.
For some reason Serena felt she had heard that same voice many times before... how odd.
(To be Continued...)
