Serena walked to school with her head up searching the street for any signs of Darien. Of course she was looking the other way when she turned the corner and ran into someone. She prepared herself to hit the ground, but she didn't. In one swift movement Darien had slipped his arm around her back and caught her.

"Hey Serena," he said. He was only inches away from her lips and was dying kiss her.

"Hi Darien," she said. 'Please, oh, please,' she thought, 'kiss me again!'

But fate hated her at that very moment and Raye turned the corner. "What's going on here?"

Darien looked up at Raye and managed to pull off a smile. He dropped Serena in surprise and she scowled up at him. He tried to help her up while still keeping his eyes on Raye. "I was teaching Serena how to dance," he spat out. Serena tried to keep in her giggles.

"You were teaching her how to dance in the middle of the sidewalk right before school?"

"Uh... yeah."

Serena clamped her hand over her mouth in a failed attempt to keep the laughter in. Tears started streaming from her eyes.

"I don't see what so funny SERENA!!!" Raye yelled.

Serena immediately stopped laughing. "Well you wouldn't would you?" She started up again and they gave up on stopping her.

"Darien were you about to... to... KISS her?" Raye said hand poised to slap him.

"Maybe," Darien squeaked and winced.

*SLAP* "You're such a freaking *slap* idiot! What gives you the right to *slap* kiss somebody else *slap* when you haven't even kissed me?!" *slap*

Serena broke out laughing again. "You know," she said in a slur, "that isn't the first time this week somebody's slapped him like that! See those bruises? I did that!"

*SLAP*

"What was that for?!" Serena yelled. She slapped Raye back. They both started slapping each other like crazy until they were rolling around on the sidewalk.

Darien sighed and grabbed Serena by the waist and pulled her off of Raye, kicking and fighting. "Stop it you two!"

Raye stood up and narrowed her eyes. Her lip was bleeding and her cheeks were red. Her hair was a mess. "I swear Serena, you evil witch, you'll pay for this."

Serena hissed in return. Darien stood between the two. "Come on Raye you don't mean that."

*SLAP*

"Maybe you do."

Raye grunted and turned away. She walked off with an aura of fury so big everyone on the sidewalk got off it.

"Thanks Darien. Sorry you got hurt so bad."

"Well it's not the first time and I have a feeling it won't be the last."

Serena rolled with laughter.
