~~~If Only~~~
Serena was minding her own business…drinking her glass of water when a group of females who without doubt is one of Darien's fan clubs started talking in loud voices.
"I bet I could get a date with Darien!" One of them boasted.
"Over my dead body!" One of them screeched.
"Ugh! That's the most annoying sound I've ever heard." Serena thought trying hard not to flinch.
"Excuse me…Isn't it obvious! I'm prettier than all of you…so you can all just fantasize Darien asking you out…because what you're thinking is impossible" a red headed girl exclaimed as she approached the group of girls.
Serena couldn't take it much longer. She poked Darien hard in his shoulder and gave him her signature glare.
"Serena?" Darien asked recognizing the glare anywhere.
"Can you tell your fan girls to give it a rest! Or at least wave at them or anything just to make them shut up!" She hissed.
"You look different" Darien continued.
"None of your damn business"
"You look great"
"Yeah yeah! Stop the yakking and tell them to put a lid on it. It's really getting on my nerves."
However the girls with screechy voices noticed that the love of their life is talking with someone and not just to any someone…with a woman…a gorgeous woman.
Serena didn't notice them approaching since she was busy bickering with Darien and was startled when she saw a long red talon tapping her hard in her shoulder. She turned her head and saw those women surround her…glaring at her.
"Yes…is there a problem…" She asked trying to look innocent and keeping her impatience in control.
"You're our problem…how dare you walk in this arcade and just sit beside Darien" One of them said accusingly.
"And flirt with him" a girl with dark green hair added.
"He's mine" the red head said.
She glanced at Darien and saw his grip tighten on his mug tighten on the last statement. "You owe me big time" She thought as she formulated a plan in her mind.
"I don't see a problem with talking with…my…boyfriend" She said and enjoyed the stricken look that the girls had in their faces.
"Right Darien…" She turn to him and gave him a look that seem to scream "I'm helping you out here but I can't do this alone…and you owe me big time".
"Of course"
Just them the red headed girl grabbed Serena by her shoulders and her long nails dugged in her skin. Serena didn't want to give her the satisfaction so she maintained her cool demeanor.
"You're lying" she hissed.
"Let her go Belinda" Darien warned.
"Belinda…you look familiar…" Serena said softly trying to remember where she saw her.
"You might have seen me in magazines…"Belinda said trying to sound like some important person and let go of her. Of course what she just said was not true but she can't lose face now.
Serena snapped her fingers and said, "You're not Belinda…You're name's Beryl, the club social climber."
The other girls snickered and looked expectantly at Beryl waiting to see if she was going to start a fight.
"Silvery blonde hair, cerulean blue eyes, ivory colored skin…Serena Silvermoon. I should have known"
"Red hair, clothes straight from sluts are us, long talons….Beryl Masters. I should have known" Beryl snarled at her but kept her 3 feet distance from Serena.. "So…to what do we owe your presence? Can you make it fast? My boyfriend and I were discussing something"
"This is not the end…got that Silvermoon? You'll have your day. And when that happens, I'm going to be there and laugh it all out"
"Can't wait" With that Beryl stormed out of the arcade and the rest returned to their seat not wanting to get embarrassed the way Beryl had been.
"So…I'm you're boyfriend now?" Darien said. A sly smile in his devilishly handsome face.
"Please…out of the goodness of my heart I helped you out. And I'm dumping you right now if ever you did become my boyfriend"
Darien laughed, greatly amused at the girl before me.
"Why oh why does she have to be so damn brilliant?" He thought.
"Serena!" Mina's voice rang out as she together with the other girl approached her. "You rocked! Beryl was so mad…I loved it!"
"You look drop dead gorgeous in there sister!" Lita said.
"I didn't know you had it in you!" Rae exclaimed.
"Why did you have to get all lady like all of a sudden?" Amy asked curiously.
"That's what I want to find out" Darien said.
"Mina will tell you about it…but as of now, I'm out of here. See you guys tomorrow." Serena got up from her seat and left like a model exiting the catwalk.
"Silvermoon!" Darien called out just before she got out of the door. Serena stopped and turned, "Thanks" she smiled at him, a true smile that could melt any guy on the spot and left.
"So Darien…you like her don't you" Rae ask with a mischievous glint in her violet eyes.
"I don't know what you're talking about but I'm out of here"
"Whatever you say Dar…but I got to say, you guys looked like a real couple back then." Mina added.
Darien left the Arcade and the girls together with Andrew started laughing till their sides hurt.
"I hate to admit this…but I think Darien has finally met his match" Andrew said trying to catch his breath before leaving them to continue serving.
"Yeah" Amy said softly.

Darien walked his way to his apartment with Serena in his mind. "Why do I have to go back to the Arcade?" He asked himself. "Because you want to see her again even though she practically bit your head off the first time you saw her" his mind answered. "She didn't even looked that gorgeous earlier and I can't take my mind off her already. What more now that she looked so…so….stunning."
"What am I thinking! I'm Darien Shields! I don't fall in love with women! They fall in love with me!" He laughed to himself at that thought and continued walking.
Deciding to take a detour, he went to the park and sat in the bench in front of the lake.
"Why did I feel like the luckiest man in the world when she said I was her boyfriend?" That thought lingered in his mind as he stared at the lake.
