"Soooo Serena, tell us about this dream. Were there any hot men in it?!"

Raye glared at Mina and pushed a comic towards her, "Here.. Read, Just do NOT talk." Mina took the comic and shrugged, as she opened it and started laughing quietly to herself. Serena gave Raye a look that could kill.

"Why don't you ever let me read during meetings?" She waited a moment, and sighed when Raye she smiled wickedly at her. "Well, anyways.. about the dream, It took place in the fut-" She stopped herself, something deep inside of her told her not to say anything, she looked around at everyone, and then at Luna who gave her a look that told her to keep going.

Lita was the first one to break the silence that settled over them after Serana stopped talking. She reached over, and placed her hand on Serena's shoulder. "Sere, you ok? Is something wrong?"

She didn't know how to respond to that, she knew she was going to have to tell the dream now, since they knew she had one, "I.. ummm..." she couldn't think of an excuse to give, "i.. got um.. lightheaded.. i'm feeling sick, can I go home?" She looked at Luna pleadingly, and then at Raye, knowing those were her two toughest targets.

Raye sighed, giving into Serena. "Ok, I guess you can go, i'll consult the fire."

Lita stood up, then helped Serena up, "I'll walk you home, just to make sure you get there safely" They walked out of the temple, after saying bye to everyone.

Both of them walked in silence for a few minutes, Serena glanced over at Lita, having a feeling that Lita knew she wasn't sick. "Thanks," she said simply.

"Anytime" Lita smiled at her. "Hey, lets go hang out at the park instead!" She took Serena's hand and started running towards it. She collapsed onto a small grassy hill, overlooking the lake. She sighed, the clouds were a beautiful light purple with pink, and the sun was going down, being reflected off the lake slightly. A few birds took flight over the lake, giving it a very romantic, serene feeling.

Serena just happened to glance over at Lita, as she sat down beside her. She could tell something was bothering her, she didn't know what though, Lita was still a mystery to her. She out over the lake, "Sometimes it's so peaceful here.." she stopped for a moment, trying to think of what to say, she wanted to reveal some of herself to the Brunette next to her, however Lita beat her to it

"I find myself coming here sometimes," Lita whispered quietly, so that Serena had to strain to here her, "I come when I want to be alone, or when I'm upset. It usually never helps, I just get even more lonely, but after I cry, I start feeling better. I eventually always realize that things could be worse. That i could be completely alone, instead of having good friends." She smiled weakly over at Serena, her eyes were tearing up, she had no idea why. She never got emotional.

This surprised Serena too, she had never once seen Lita getting emotional. So she scooted a little closer and hugged her tightly. "I'm always here for you" she whispered softly.

And so the day went on and it got darker, the lake getting more romantic. If someone were too look upon them from behind, They would look like lovers, since they were sitting so close. But the truth is, They were old friends, merely be coming reacquainted.

Lita stood up, and held her hand out to help Serena up. "It's getting late, I gotta get home and do some homework, and I'm sure you got some you can do too, and if not, i'm sure your hungry" Lita grinned from ear to ear when Serena glared at her for a moment.

As Serena stood up, she took Lita's wrist and looked at her watch, and when she read the time, she freaked out. "Oh my god! Dinner was an hour ago! I didn't even realize it!" She started to head home, but then she stopped herself, turned around, hugged Lita tightly, then ran towards her house again.

~~~

The next morning she awoke fairly earlier, for it being a Saturday and all. She glanced over at the clock and groaned when she saw the time. 8:30. 'Why can't i wake up this early on school days?' she mentally asked herself. She got up, got dressed and headed out of the house. It felt as if somthing was pulling her somewhere, so she followed her instincts.

As she walked, she noticed little things she hadn't noticed in awhile. She noticed the way the breeze felt against her smooth skin, the clouds and the shapes they took on. She noticed small details such the indentions in the walls, or the way the grass swayed. She took notice of lovers, and she caught herself blushing once when she saw a couple kissing. She saw two girls walk by, hand and hand, and she felt her heart skip a beat at the thought, she couldn't quite place why she felt the way she did when she saw them, but it made her extremly happy.

She finally ended up at the arcade. As she walked in, she spotted Andrew and went over to talk to him. "Hey there Drew! Do you know what time it is?"

Andrew twisted his wrist so that Serena could see the time, and she bit her lip when she saw that it wasn't digital. "Um.. Andrew.. I asked you for the time.. Not to..uh.. see your watch.."

Andrew got the hint, and laughed at her lightly, "It's 9:48," and then he smiled that gorgeous smile of his. His smile could melt a girls heart. Except for hers, she was unaffected by it, because, Andrew was a big brother to her. She knew that he'd always be there, watching out for her, and that he would even beat Darian off with a stick, if she needed him to, but that was never going to happen.

Andrew watched as Serena got up, and started heading out the door, "Serena!" He called out her name, beckoning her to come back. She turned around, and walked back over there, hopping up onto the stool. "Is something wrong Serena?" He asked her, he had begun to notice Serena acting differently. He reached over the counter and felt her head.

"Stop that Drew! I'm fine, and i'm Not sick!" She swatted at his hand, and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Well, since you were up so early and all...." he begun, and Serena just smiled at him, not really caring that he was picking on her. "Do you want a drink or something?"

Serena shook her head as she stood up, she leaned over the counter and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I'm going to go, I have somethings to take care of. If you see Darian, tell him i'll talk to him later, ok?" Andrew simply nodded his head, and Serena skipped out of the arcade.

Andrew watched her go and shook his head to himself. "I haven't seen her this happy since she realized she was in love with Darian.." he mumbled quietly to himself.

Serena banged on Lita's door, she knew she was home, she couldn't understand why she wasn't answering. Lita opened the door groggily, she was wearing her forest green pajama's and on them were little flowers. She was wearing a spaghetti strap shirt. Serena stared at her wide eye'ed her mouth open.

"I.. uhhhh.. Sorry, didn't know you were sleeping." She felt herself blush slightly, and she hoped that Lita didn't notice.

Lita ran a hand through her messy hair. "It's ok, Serena" she stepped aside to allow her to come in, "What are you doing here anyways?"

"Well.." she began and took a seat on the couch, while Lita went to her bedroom and grabbed some clothes to put on. "I woke up early, and I wanted to see if you wanted to do something, like go shoppin or something. To.. umm.. Celebrate our newly found.. uh.. friendship!" Serena scolded herself mentally, she had always been friends with Lita, she just had never been this close to her.

"Ohhh.. so we are just now friends, huh?" She grinned at Serena as she emerged from her bedroom, wearing a pair of tight jeans, and a light green shirt that showed her tummy off slightly. Her hair was up in her usual pony tail. Serena gasped, Lita quickly took notice of this and eyed Serena. "What's wrong, do i look that bad?"

Serena noticed that she was staring at her. 'Ohhhh Serena, you are soooo stupid! She's female, stop looking, make up a story!' she told herself quickly. "That shirt!" she hopped up off the couch and quickly went to Lita, examining the shirt closely. "It's gorgeous! I love it! It's Sooooooo your colour!" Lita reaised an eyebrow at Serena, Then went to the door way to put her shoes on. 'SCORE!' Serena laughed at herself mentally. 'You go girl!'

"So do you wanna go to the mall i take it?"

Serena nodded and ran out the door, racing Lita down the steps. Of course Lita won, even if Serena did get a head start. She pouted the rest of the way to the mall. "Awww, Serena has anyone ever told you your cute when you pout?"

Serena glared daggers at Lita for a moment, and then stopped dead in her tracks. "Well, there was this one time, this red headed girl came up to me and told me that." She wrinkled up her nose as she thought about that day. "And of course, there is Darian."

Lita felt herself get jealous at the mention of that name. 'Why do i care about Darian?' She was so clueless. "Well.." she thought to herself for a moment. "Now you can add me to your list!" She smiled, and took Serena's hand again, and ran off towards the icecream shop in the mall.

When they got to the icecream shop, Lita was still holding onto Serena's hand, and she didn't seem to mind. "So what do you want? I'm buyin!" Serena drooled as she looked at the selections.

'Her hand is so nice, and soft.. and she's so beautiful, i don't ever want her to leave' she started to think. 'Lita, get ahold of yourself, She's female!' 'But just look at her!' 'I gotta snap outta this, i'm arguing with myself' Lita let go of Serena's hand to reach into her pocket and pull out some money.

Serena frowned to herself. 'Why do i care if she doesn't wanna hold my hand?'

They took a seat at one of the small tables and ate their icecream, both looking away from eachother, neither of them dared to look at eachother. They both had a thousand thoughts cruising through their head.

Lita finally glanced at Serena and sighed out loud, Serena looked up at her to meet her eyes. "Serena, We need to talk"

She visible paniced, "Did i do something wrong?"

Lita shook her head, and stood up, walking out the mall doors, to a grassy area outside so that they can be alone. She looked at Serena and smiled weakly "Serena" she begun.. "I have something important to tell you."
