Author's Notes: Hallelujah!! I'm back to write another chappie of White
Rabbit....the long awaited story of the century, not really, but I can
dream, can't I? Now, I know I haven't updated in forever (literally) I have
good excuses and besides the fact that I'm only going to be working on this
story and another one of mine until I finish one or both of them. I need to
finish my older stories before I work on my newer ones...which really bite
like my other ones, hehe!!

Chapter 3: The Crystals
Serena tapped her finger impatiently. "Hurry *up*, Beth, sheesh!" Serena, nearly yelled. It was 8:30 in the morning and Beth had inhabited the bathroom and Serena had to go.....badly! Serena slide down the wall and plopped onto her butt.
Beth finally walked out of the bathroom, fully clothed and her hair in a towel. "Well, if you weren't so impatient, I wouldn't have taken so long."
"I wouldn't be so impatient if you hadn't forced me to drink the rest of the milk last night because it was supposed to expire!" Serena rambled as she walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
The blonde emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later, feeling completely relieved. (AN: I dunno about you, but it feels SO much better, hehe) She plopped down on the couch next to Beth who was combing her hair as she skimmed through a random magazine.
" So, oh great one," Serena replied, nonchalantly as she tried to catch Beth's attention. She passed with flying colors.
"So, oh sarcastic one," Beth sighed, turning to narrow her eyes at the petite girl sitting next to her. "What do you want?"
"I was just wondering which crystals we were going after first, et cetera. I mean, we never said specifically," Serena said, crossing her legs as she turned her attention to the interesting couch design.
"Didn't we already have this conversation?"
"Yes and no."
"Um, can't it only be just one?" Beth asked, almost completely lost.
"In this case, it's both," Serena replied, nonchalantly.
"Sorry to inform you that I'm a brunette and don't understand your blonde language. So, would you kindly explain what you are rambling about?" Beth questioned, as she pulled her hair back into a bun. She then went back to glancing at her magazine, knowing fully well that she wouldn't understand half of what Serena was saying anyway. That girl was so confusing sometimes. But, luckily enough, she heard the end of it.
"-I mean, we could go by color, or location or something. Are you even listening?"
"Yes, of course I'm listening," Beth responded, closing her magazine. "I say we go by color since we already got the red one. We'll go by the color of the rainbow. Where's the orange one located?"
"Montana," Serena stated, simply. She then smiled and turned to look at Beth.
"What now?" Beth asked, glancing at Serena's grinning face out of the corner of her eye.
"What are we having for breakfast?"
"Somehow, I knew our conversation would lead back to your stomach," Beth smirked. "So, I took the liberty of letting you decide what we are having for take-out."
"Yay!!" Serena cheered, but then suddenly looked quite confused. "But, I don't have any money. You never let me have any, remember?" Beth held out her hand to reveal two twenties which Serena took gratefully. Before Beth could blink, Serena was out the door and running down the front steps.
Beth sighed, heavily. When would that girl ever grow up?
Serena laughed as she skipped down the road. She loved getting to make decisions. Beth never let her do anything nevermind anything fun. 'Decision-making is always left up to the brains of the outfit,' Beth had said.
The blonde slowed to a steady walk as she sighed lightly. She had decided to take on her father's legacy as a way to show the underworld that her father's thieving spirit would never die. But, nothing was turning out as she had planned. First off, she had planned to work alone, not letting anyone in on her scheme. But, that had all changed when Beth had decided to help her. Serena didn't know how she had gotten talked into it, but all of a sudden Beth was traveling with her.
The only really great thing about that was the lack of loneliness. But, alas, Serena could not change what had already started. Besides, Beth had been the one to actually make her get off her butt and do something. So, she couldn't really abandon her friend now.
All that thinking made Serena lose track of where she was going. She didn't even realize that she had already made it to the coffee shop that she was planning on going to until she looked up and saw the sign. She smiled slightly at her own absentmindedness. Sometimes, being a ditz wasn't so bad.
Serena opened the door to one of her favorite coffee shops. She stepped inside and smiled as the sweet smell of coffee and doughnuts reached her nose. She looked down at her stomach as she heard it grumble loudly. 'Time to fill you up, tummy,' she thought, pleasantly as she strode up to the counter.
"May I help you?" the woman at the counter asked her. Serena ordered herself two blueberry muffins, two Irish cream doughnuts (AN: mmmmm, my favorite doughnuts that they don't make anymore....mmmmm), and a large French vanilla coffee for here. She decided that she would order something for Beth right before she left.
She brought her food and her drink over to a two person table that was currently empty. She spread the butter onto her muffins and began to eat the slowly as not to scare the people with her crazy eating habits. She sighed lightly as she realized that life didn't get much better than this. If only this young blonde was certain of her future, then maybe, she realize that life could get much much better.
Darien yawned. He had not slept a wink last night and he was dead tired. So much for the 'you have to get six hours of sleep a night' speech he usually gave to Jessica. She would be giving him that speech this morning when he finally reached the office. Not like he had left it last night anyway.
The ebony haired man parked his car and crawled out of the driver's side. His midnight blue eyes glanced around the bustling city of Manhattan before he wandered to the front door of his favorite coffee shop. He decided on his way here that he was going to eat in today because he wanted to escape the wrath of Jessica for not sleeping the night before. He smiled a serene, tired smile before opening the door and wandering inside.
As Serena had been attacked by the smell of coffee and doughnuts, Darien was also. He walked up to the counter and smiled at the woman he saw everyday for the last 5 years. "Hey there Meagan. Can I have my usual for here and a chocolate muffin, please?"
"Sure, Darien. Anything for my muffin," Meagan replied, giggling slightly. Meagan was a sweet girl. Her and Darien had actually attended high school together. They hadn't really been much of friends back then, but they at least remembered one another. It became quite important that they knew one another when they both moved to Manhattan. They didn't feel as insecure as soon as they found out that there was at least one person each of them knew in this large city.
Meagan handed Darien his regular morning coffee, two sugars and cream, along with his chocolate muffin. Darien paid her and smiled at her before turning around. He soon discovered that there weren't any empty tables. He sighed. 'Great. The first time I decide to eat in, there's no tables open. How ironic,' he thought, slightly grumpily.
Serena glanced up from her interesting table top to see an attractive young man glancing about for a place to sit. She glanced around to discover that the entire shop had no empty seats, whatsoever. She smiled as she tried to catch the attention of the young man. As he turned to glance at her, she waved at him.
Darien suddenly became confused by the strange girl waving at him. Had he met her somewhere before or something? He shrugged off his thoughts as he walked over to her. The blonde just smiled at him.
"I noticed that you were looking for a seat?" Serena asked, smiling brightly at him.
"Yeah.....I was," Darien replied, blushing slightly. Why was she smiling at him like *that*? It was driving him crazy!
"Well, as you can plainly see, I'm here by myself and I have an open seat, so you are welcome to sit here if you want," Serena responded, taking a sip of her coffee. 'He's a real cutie. Is it legal for guys to look that good in everyday clothes?' Serena thought, serenely.
"Thanks," Darien said, sitting down across from Serena.
"So, what's your name?"
"Darien......Darien Shields to be precise," Darien answered, taking a sip of his coffee. He smiled as he felt the caffienated drink slide down his throat. "Man, did I need that."
"Been up all night I see," Serena replied, noticing the obvious. Darien opened his mouth to say something, but Serena interrupted him, "It's not very noticeable. I just do it quite often, so I'm used to seeing the signs of someone with lack of sleep. So, what kept you up all night? Oops, sorry, I'm so nosey and you don't even know my name yet. I'm Serena Moone."
"New police case," Darien responded, taking a long swig of his coffee. "It so horrible. I wish people would leave legends as just that. Legends." Serena nodded and smiled again. "So, I've never seen you in here before. Why the sudden interest in a small coffee place?"
"I could say the same thing for you, Darien," Serena replied, giggling. "I've been coming in here for the past half year and its my favorite coffee shop in all of Manhattan. I have to say, that I've never seen you before."
"Well, I definitely win on this case. I've been coming in here for five years. Been seeing Meagan here everyday, since college started," Darien laughed, smiling also. 'Wow! When was the last time I really actually felt like smiling. That's a first. What's she doing to me?' Darien pondered.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, Darien, but I got to be going. Beth is going to kill me for not being home awhile ago, but I'll deal," Serena sighed, standing up. She smiled at Darien once again. "It was nice meeting you." Serena held her hand out which Darien took and shook.
"Same to you, Serena," Darien replied. "I guess I'll see you in here more often?"
"Is that a question or a request?" Serena teased. Darien just smiled.
"Both," he replied, simply and shrugged. Serena laughed as she remembered her earlier conversation.
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I'll see you tomorrow, Darien," Serena said, still laughing a little. Serena then walked out the door with the doughnuts still in hand. They would have to be good enough for Beth.
