Well, I do agree that this story was written with very short chapters. ^^;;
So, I decided to combine some chapters here and there. This one contains
chapters 6 and 7. Thank you to every one who is reviewing! ^^ I like
hearing what you all have to think!!! *jumps around for no apparent reason*
Makes me want to post more quickly too! ^^ Anyway, standard disclaimer: I
do not own any characters associated with Sailor Moon. Now hurry along and
read these chapters and tell me what ya think! ^^
Blame it on the Book Pt 6
"Okay Chad, your date for the night is, drum roll please...." When nothing happened, Mina continued, "Well, it seems that our drums are all broken. Anyway, There's Ami." Mina pointed to a girl sitting a few rows up.
"Oh, okay," Chad started to walk towards Ami, slightly downhearted.
"What about me?" Greg asked, all ready disappointed.
"Well, I won't ask for a drum roll this time, but there's Lita. See her? I'm sure you can't miss her. She's the one with the huge mass on top of her head," Mina pointed to a seat near Ami and Chad.
"Don't dis the 'do. I like it," Ken was looking at Lita while he was talking to Mina.
"I was kidding. Anyway, Andrew..." Maybe I could pull a switch and set Ken up with Raye instead. Oh well, hopefully it will all work out in the end. "...there's Raye, next to Ami."
"All right," Andrew walked with his head down.
"Come on you two. Let's sit down." Mina walked down towards her seat, which happened to be next to Andrew.
"Wait a minute. If you set all of your close friends up with us then there's only one person left," Darien eyed Mina suspiciously. (sorry all you Darien haters but I can't make him a complete moron)
"Go sit down Darien. She's waiting." Mina smiled, then turned back around and continued to walk. Please don't leave. Please don't leave. Please don't leave.
Darien stood in the back of the theatre watching everyone else. He was indecisive. Should I stay? Last time we talked.....well, it didn't turn out well. That should be reason enough for me to leave. Then again, that would leave her alone. Without a date. Basically a third wheel for everyone else. She looks good in pink. Stop that! She does though. But she poured freezing cold water on my head. But she would be alone. But the water! And that finger! I'm leaving now while I'm still dry! Darien began to walk. Wait! Stop! You're going the wrong direction! No! *Out* the door! Turn around! Get out now! Darien's legs carried him to the seat between Ken and Serena against his volition.
"Hey Meatb....uh, Serena," Darien caught himself just in time.
"Darien!?! What are you doing here?" Serena's face was, again, bright red.
"I guess I'm your date for the night," Darien took a seat just as the lights went out.
The movie started. Serena, realizing for the first time what kind of movie it was, whimpered. Of course she would. A horror flick. What better to get close to your date? I'm going to have to kill her.
As the movie went on, there were many whimpers and cowering faces, mainly Serena's. Raye looked at Andrew once and noticed that instead of holding on to Ken, Mina was grabbing Andrew's hand. Raye didn't mind though. Andrew was a great friend but she didn't really want to date him.
Darien sat uncomfortably next to Serena. He didn't want to be there when Serena probably didn't either. Suddenly, he felt pressure on his hand. Darien looked down to see Serena's small hand clutching his own. It felt nice so he didn't pull away. He actually smiled. Stop it before someone sees idiot! *SIGH* Why am I smiling? Remember the water? The finger?
Serena nearly screamed as she reached for anything nearby. Not realizing what she was doing, Serena grabbed Darien's shoulder and pulled him close to her. She hugged him tightly as she hid her face from the movie. Ohmigod! Ohmigod! I don't want to see that! Mina is soooo dead!
Darien gasped at Serena's unexpected movements. What is she doing!?! Serena opened her eyes to a black shirt. She noticed some green cloth near her right eye. Black shirt? Green coat? Who wears that? OH MY GOD! I am *not* holding on to him. No way! Serena pushed the object hiding her face away. Whoa, he's strong. Nice pecs too. I did not just think that!
Serena turned away from Darien, who had just turned white from shock. Serena was shaking from embarrassment and anger. What if someone saw me? Serena looked over at everyone else while Darien stared forward, still in shock. She was greeted by eight smirking faces.
Mina had another devilish thought. "Darien. Hey Darien!" She whispered softly.
"W-what Mina?"
"We need some drinks. Will you please go get us some? Pretty please." Mina flashed her big blue eyes at Darien and twirled her blonde hair.
"Uh, sure," Darien rose quickly to leave.
"Darien, wait a minute. Serena?"
"Um, yeah Mina?"
"Would you get us some candy?"
"Candy? Really? Yeah, definitely!" Serena stood up in a flash. Mina knew candy would get her to go.
"Thanks hun!"
Darien and Serena left the movie to get food and drinks. Mina on the other hand, turned back to her seat.
"What do you have planned Mina?" Lita looked at her friend, fully aware that she had come up with another plan.
"Well...."
"What happened in there?" Darien eyed Serena, waiting for an answer.
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing Darien. You remember that." Serena refused to look at him. That's right. Just tell yourself and Darien that nothing happened and maybe you'll both believe it.
"Okay," Darien stepped up to the counter and ordered drinks for everyone. Serena followed, picking out practically every kind of candy they had.
Blame it on the Book Pt 7
"So, where are we going?" Ami questioned everyone.
"I was thinking that we could go to that nice little place on Broadway and Main. You know, that little sushi restaurant," Mina looked innocently at the guys, who, of course, would have to pay.
"That's the most expensive place in town Mina," Ken looked worried.
"Oh I see. We're not important enough to buy a decent meal for. Okay, we can go to McDonald's or something." Mina stuck her bottom lip out just slightly. Let's see them refuse the old lip and baby blues.
"Of course we're not going to McDonald's Mina," Andrew glared at Ken.
"Personally, I would rather cook dinner myselfffuh!" Lita regretted her words when Mina pushed her elbow into her stomach. "Then again, my kitchen is a mess. I don't think I'd be able to cook right now."
"We'll go to the sushi place." Andrew smiled at Mina who returned the gesture.
"Lita, if it's any consolation, I'd rather eat your cooking than McDonald's or the sushi place's," Ken whispered into Lita's ear and then took off before she could say anything. All Lita could do anyway was blush.
Darien and Serena walked on in silence, each on an opposite side of the group. Mina was walking next to Andrew. They were talking about the arcade. Lita was walking behind Ken, for probably the first time in her life, she was too shy to step up next to him. Raye, Chad, Ami and Greg walked in a mixed group, no one really next to each other, no one really alone.
They reached the restaurant in no time. As they went inside, everyone marveled at the beautiful artwork in the entrance.
"May I help you?" The waiter at the door spoke in a snooty voice as he looked over the group of kids.
"Yes, we would like a table for ten," Andrew spoke up first.
"You look a little young to be in here. Are you sure you have enough money sir?"
"Of course we do. Please, a table for ten." Andrew was surprised at the waiter.
"Walk this way," The waiter turned around and walked away.
"Well, at least we're in," Greg turned to Ami and smiled.
When the waiter seated the group, they didn't sit by the same person they did at the theatre. Andrew and Mina sat next to each other. Then it was Lita and Ken, Ami and Greg, which left Raye, Chad, Serena, and Darien. Chad took a seat next to Mina. Darien sat down next to Ken. Serena looked at each other and shrugged, then sat between the guys.
"Stop making goo-goo eyes you two, you're making me sick!" Raye yelled at Mina and Andrew from across the table.
"Shut up Raye," Mina didn't look away from Andrew.
"Don't tell Raye to shut up Mina," Lita glared at Mina.
"Why don't you mind your own business Lita," Andrew continued to stare at Mina.
"Don't talk to Lita that way!" Ken glared at Andrew.
"Get a room why don't you!" Raye looked very upset.
"I repeat, shut up Raye," Mina still stared at Andrew. This is perfect!
"You shouldn't talk to Raye that way Mina," Chad stared at the table.
"Why don't you stay out of it Chad?" Greg put his two cents in.
"Stop fighting you guys!" Serena whined.
"Shut your trap Greg," Ken turned his head to look at his new target.
"Why don't you?" Ami questioned Ken.
"Shut up know-it-all," Lita glared at Ami now.
"Please stop fighting!" Serena said.
"Stay out of it Serena!" Everyone except for Darien shouted.
"I'm leaving. Coming Ken?" Lita stood.
"You bet."
"Would you take me home Andrew? I obviously have only two friends here. Ami, Greg, would you like a ride home too?"
"Yeah, thanks Mina," Ami replied.
"Come on Chad, we can go back to the temple now," Raye stood," I'll see you later Lita."
Everyone left the table and the restaurant, leaving Darien and Serena sitting alone.
