"Ok the balloons go over there! Yeah that's it. Raye could you help me with this banner?" Serena asked. "Yeah sure!"Raye said climbing up on to the mini stage. They each took a side of the banner and pinned it up. They stood back and read, Happy Birthday Darien!!! "He better appreciate this!" Serena breathed. "Hey Serena come 'ere!" Lita called. Serena jogged over to her and asked, "what?" Lita looked at the cake she had just prepared. "What kind of icing should I put on?" Lita asked. "Hmmm... How about vanilla?" Serena said picturing the cake in her head. "Ok!" Lita smiled. "Lita would you mind if I wrote the happy birthday on?" Serena asked innocently. "No. As long as you don't eat it." Lita warned. "Promise I wont." Serena said. Lita added the vanilla frosting and gave blue icing to Serena. "Lets see it I can still do this!" Serena then began to write very neatly and it turned out PERFECT. "Wow Serena where did you learn to do that?" Lita asked puzzled. "My mom taught me a long time ago."She smiled and went to help the Mina with the music.
~1:00 pm~
"Ok does everyone know what to do?" Serena asked putting on her coat. "Yep. The lights will be out and when you walk in you will turn them on. Then it present time!" Mina said happily. (imagine tires squealing right...NOW) "OH NO!" Serena screamed. "What wrong? Did I forget to mention something?"Mina asked. "I forgot to get a present for Darien!" Serena acknowledged. "Can't help you there! Maybe you can get one on the way." Amy comforted. "Yeah that's a good idea Amy! Thanks!" Serena then ran out the door and to the arcade.
~At The Arcade~
"Andrew I want to go home!" Darien shouted. "But I need you to help with-" Andrew looked around. "My home work!" Andrew said. "Its August and college doesn't start till September!" Darien shouted at his lying friend. "ERRR... well-" Lucky for Andrew, Serena came rushing in the door. "Darien, Andrew, Raye called and emergency band meeting!" Serena started. "We gotta go!" She shouted. "Figures." Darien said taking a sip of his coffee. "Come on!" Serena pulled Darien's arm, which caused his coffee to spill all over him. "What do you think your doing?" Darien said looking at the girl who was towing him along. "I'm taking you to the temple!" Serena continued to drag him along.
~Walking by shops~
Darien had calmed down and they were now slowly walking to Raye's. Darien stopped in front of a store and looked at a electric guitar in the window. "The steel brass electric guitar 2002!" Darien gawked. Serena cocked an eyebrow and looked at the guitar on display. "What do you like it or something?" Serena asked. "Like it? Its the best guitar you can come by! I've wanted it ever since it came out! But its $250, I can't afford that." He slowly turned and began to walk to Raye's. Serena stayed looking at the guitar. "Ummm... you know. I have to use the bathroom. You go on ahead I'll be there in a minute!" Serena then dashed into the clothing shop next to the guitars store. "But-*sigh*" Darien then continued walking.
Once Darien was around the bend Serena sneaked into the guitar shop. The clerk approached her. "Hello. How may I help you?" He asked. "Yeah I'd like to buy that guitar on display." Serena told the man. "Oh the steel brass electric guitar 2002. Nice choice." The man went and go one from the back. He rang it up and placed it on the counter. "That will be $250." The man said. "Actually I'd like to buy a case too." Serena told him. "Well okay." He once again went to the back. He returned with a guitar case that fit the guitar perfectly. "Your total now come to $191.20." Serena took out her purse and took out a $200 bill. 'Even though I was saving this up... I think Darien disserves this.' She thought. She handed the man the bill and took the change. "With every purchase of a guitar and case you get a free engraving. Would you like one?"The man asked. "Oh sure!" Serena smiled. "What would you like to be put on the case?" The man asked. "Oh uhhh... Darien Shields. D-A-R-I-E-N S-H-I-E-L-D-S" Serena spelled. "Ok there you go! Have a nice day!" The clerk smiled. "You too!" Serena then ran in the direction of the temple.
Serena sneaked in the back and put the guitar down in the kitchen and got into the big room just intime for Darien and Andrew to walk in. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" Everyone screamed. Darien just stood there with his mouth agape. "Y-y-you did this for me?" Darien asked looking at everyone. "Actually Serena did it. We just helped out a little." Raye informed. Darien's glaze turned to Serena. "You? But, Why?" Darien was completely puzzled. "Yeah...well... You deserve it for putting up with me!" Serena smiled. There was an awkward silence till Mina shouted. "Lets open presents!" Darien looked at everyone. "Presents too?" Darien was shocked at the kindness he was receiving. They walked onto the stage and they each handed them there present.
After everyone had given him his present except for Serena he looked to her. Raye saw his gaze and stepped in for her. "See she was so busy getting this together she didn't have time to shop and-" Raye was stopped by Serena's hand on her shoulder. Serena shook her head and Raye backed away. "Darien I did get you a present. I'm not sure if you'll like it.."Serena looked towards the kitchen and made her way there. She came back with the case still hiding the guitar. "You got me a guitar case with my name inscribed! Thank you Serena!" Darien smiled at Serena. He was truly grateful. "Well yeah but there's more. Open it." Darien walked down to Serena and looked at her questionably. He opened the guitar case and his mouth fell open. It looked as if he was trying to talk but no words came out. Serena bit her lip. "Do you like it?"Serena asked. "Y-you g-got me the steel bass electric guitar 2002?" Darien looked up to her. "Yeah. I saw how you stuck to the glass when you saw it. So I thought you might like it?"She was waiting for a reaction. Darien was still awe struck. Without notice he picked her up and swung her around. She laughed and he put her down. "But how did you afford it???" Darien asked seriously. "I have my ways. Now before you say anything more lets go eat cake!!!" She then ran into the kitchen and lit the candles on the cake. She slowly brought it out to them and set it on a table. "Happy birthday to you..."
