NEW GIRL IN TOWN
CHAPTER 7/ Airplane Amusements

---------------------------------------------

Serena tucked a strand of dark blonde hair behind her ear then replaced it back in her sight. There was a thin line of brown mixed in with her sun-kissed blonde hair. Weird. Since when did she have dark hair? She sighed and once more tucked it behind, forgetting about it and grinned instantly as she stretched out in the sofa-like chair.

She watched, amused, as two young handsome fight attendants were fighting for the right to put up her bags and help her out. Ah yes, first class. The joy of flying. It was everything like in the movies. The whoosh! The swoosh! The vroom! All right, maybe she was exaggerating, but she did love to be in the air. There were no annoying people, or ucky bugs. Just her and Mother Nature. And the birds. And the plane. And the clouds.

She grunted contentedly before wincing as one of her large suitcases fell out of the overhead bin and landed on the attendant's foot. She watched as he bit his lip to keep from crying out and not seem as masculine. Maybe she should have packed less. Yea right!

:: FLASHBACK ::

Serena folded up her last shirt neatly and tucked it into her second large suitcase. She smiled as she brushed off her hands. Finally, she, Princess Serena (here she giggled) of Lithuania was going to fly to Lithuania! She was so excited, she could barely contain herself. She had practically squeezed her mother to death after Ilene changed her mind and consented to let Serena go. It was only for a week. (Seiya had called earlier to let her know that the plans were changed and the length of the visit would be extended.) Truthfully, she didn't mind missing school for so long. She was going to a completely foreign and new place! What could beat that?

'Not to mention with a total hottie,' her mind reminded her and Serena couldn't help but grin, as for once, she wasn't upset at her conscious, because it was true: Darien was to accompany her the whole way for the whole time. And she didn't mind a bit. She knew she'd have a ton more fun with him there.

Carefully looking around to see if she missed anything, Serena mentally said good bye to her friends. Seiya had told her that she wasn't allowed to tell anyone where she was going and her mother would call the school to say she was sick. She would long for her newly found friends to be there to experience it with her, but she understood. She swung her heavy suitcase off the bed and yelled for her mother to help her bring it down.

::END OF FLASHBACK::

"Hm?" Serena asked absentmindedly, turning towards Darien and focusing her gaze on him. She was very proud that she didn't forget anything. Or if she did, she couldn't remember, because if she did remember than it wouldn't be forgetting right? Right!

"I said, that if you were done checking out the attendants, then could please watch my stuff while I go to the bathroom?" Darien asked, amusement dancing in his eyes of catching her in the act.

She blushed, her mind still churning in confusion. "Yea, sure."

Darien got up and left and Serena looked around their area. Seiya was sitting in the next isle by himself (he complained of having elbow wars and fighting for the armrest so many times forced him to have no elbow). Alrighty then. A steward passed by.

"Excuse me?" He turned and Serena realized it had been one of the ones whom she was eyeing. "Are we going to leave yet?"

He gave her a strange look. "We've already taken off."

Serena didn't believe him. She leaned forward and glanced through Seiya's window. Clouds were surrounding the plane.

She flashed him an embarrassed grin. "Just kidding!"

"Sure."

Hurriedly changing the topic, Serena asked if he enjoyed flying, before mentally hitting herself at such a lame conversation attempt.

"No. I hate flying. I'm scared of airplanes. That's why I'm a flight attendant."

"Um, ok." Serena said, slightly unsure whether or not he was being sarcastic. "Ya know what, excuse me, I have to use the restroom." She scrambled over her backpack on the floor and practically ran to the loo, her face bright with a tinge of red.

She pushed the bathroom door open and was surprised when it hit something solid. Weren't these doors made to open properly? Peering around, she noticed that the door hit a leg, and slowly her gaze slid up to the face. She paused.

Seiya let out a deep snort before shooting up. Who the hell would scream and disrupt his sleep? Groaning, grunting, and whining all at once, he turned around, ignoring the crack in his neck, to see what the commotion was about. He paused. He stared. He chuckled. And he turned back around in his seat and prepared to fall back asleep again.

Serena rushed back to her first class seat and slouched down, her face scarlet and rivaling that of the clowns' red nose. She inwardly thanked the fact that the seat was cushioned enough to engulf her so she could disappear from the world forever. Or at least from this plane. She moaned again and buried her face in her hands, shaking her head embarrassed.

"What, you didn't like what you saw?" a voice floated above her and spoke in a teasing manner.

She mournfully nodded.

"Now I'm confused- you did like what you saw, or you didn't like what you saw?"

She nodded again, confirming neither or both.

Darien raised an eyebrow. "C'mon, it wasn't that embarrassing, was it?"

Serena just looked at him with her pitiful eyes wide and he hastened to change the statement.

"I mean, its not like you didn't see anything you didn't like!" Darien exclaimed arrogantly and she glared at him, shocked, before slapping him on the arm. Hard. She grimaced as her hand started stinging. Well, actually the tips of her fingers. She quickly brought her fingers up and gently started sucking on the tips, desperately trying to get rid of the scorching pain. How dare his devilishly handsome bruise her gorgeously slender fingers! All right, so she was slightly exaggerating with the gorgeous part; she was often told that she only had sensual fingers. Could never figure out why though.

Our poor Darien, on the other hand, was being quite tortured. Wait- he would like me to inform you that what was happening to him was beyond torture, it was excruciating pain.

He amorously watched Serena lightly suck on her exotically (notice not sensual or gorgeous!) slender fingers and was dimly aware that if there was a shower on board, he would be charged for using up all the cold water.

Unconsciously wiping away some slobber, his own thoughts started drifting inappropriately. (Here, our handsome hunk of flesh would like to inform us that he is only human and only a man.)

However, our couple was interrupted from their rude fantasies when a twenty-dollar bill was thrust in front of Serena's face. It was the flight attendant whom she had attempted to flirt with earlier.

Serena held the bill between her exotic fingers and glanced at Darien confused. "Excuse me?"

"Can I be part of the show?"

"WHAT!" Serena shrieked, her attention now fully on the attendant, who wasn't embarrassed at all. In fact, he reminded Serena of the type of guy you'd see working at a porno shop. Bizarre change. "What the hell are you talking about?"

The attendant hushed her and leaned down, whispering, "keep it low. But you seemed to be entertaining that man, so I was wondering if I could join in the fun. Ever had a threesome? The bathroom ain't big, but it'll work."

Poor man. Never learned how to properly ask a girl to a threesome. He never saw it coming.

"Well I never!" Serena seethed after the flight attendant was called away by another customer, holding his jaw. She stooped lower in her cushion chair and Darien patted her back awkwardly. No way could he tell Serena that he knew where the man was coming from.

Serena started griping again. "How could he say that? Do I look like a twenty-dollar slut? C'mon! At least a hundred!"

Darien's mouth promptly fell to the ground once more. She noticed his jaw on the floor and rolled her eyes.

"I'm still really upset, but actually it's quite flattering that a guy got turned on by a simple act that I did." She laughed. "Plus, I shouldn't get upset, it's a compliment, right?"

All Darien could do was nod. Was this woman pmsing? One minute she was mad, then sexual, then mad, and then um… happy again? He sighed and just took a seat next to her. At least she forgot about the bathroom incident.

"Which reminds me," Serena said turning towards him so her whole body could face him, putting on a frown, "about the bathroom incident…"

Or not.

Serena stood up and stretched. Boy was that an interesting flight! Best one she ever had, thanks to Darien and the flight attendant, oh and the movie Legally Blonde! She stood on her tiptoes and reached above her. Why were the damn compartments so high up? She put her hand on the handle and pulled. Nothing happened. Trying once more, she willed it to open.

"C'mon, c'mon," she muttered as she continued to struggle with it.

Darien came up behind her. "Need a hand?"

"Nope. I got it." She flashed him a fake smile before turning around to face the damn thing again and her smile vanished quickly.

"You sure?" He asked, concerned as she continued to angrily pull and harass the distressed bin.

Flashing him another smile, which was this time more annoyed, she nodded with feigned confidence. "I'm positive," she banged on the bin as to prove her point. The compartment chose, to her utter grievance, at that moment to obey her and open. Needless to say, everything fell on Serena's big toe.

Passengers stopped mid step as they heard a howl coming from the front of the plane. They glanced at each other worriedly.

"She's alright!" A deep voice hollered from that direction.

Shrugging, though not entirely reassured, they continued on their merry way, putting this unusual incident behind them.

Back at the front, the pilot applied some ice to Serena's toe, which had started bleeding and swelling to the size of Texas. Seiya stared at Serena before sorrowfully shaking his head and picking up the luggage which had fallen.  

Unfortunately for him, she saw that look and wasn't happy. "What? Am I not princess enough now?" she yelled at him. "Is there a problem? Are you unhappy that you chose me as a princess? Hm?"

Seiya turned around slowly dazed, confused and unaware of what she was talking about. He tilted his head and blinked.

Darien blinked.

The cute pilot blinked.

Serena blinked then had the grace to blush.

"Does anyone have a tampon?" she offered meekly.

---------------------------------------------

I really hope y'all liked this chapter (it was fun to think of it ^_~) and PLEASE R&R! Constructive criticism is GREATLY appreciated!

Be prepared for a great story coming your way, because I have a bunch of new, fun, and exciting ideas!

I'm looking for someone to proofread the following chapters for this story, it'd be greatly appreciated! You'd get to see the chapter ahead of time… Anyway, here are notes to the reviewers!

KEAHI FAYE- Is it really a nice chapter or were you just saying that to make me happy? J/k! Well, here's more!

squeekers – The honest truth is, when I first discovered this website, I didn't review either. We'll be lazy together! But I thank you so much for coming back and reviewing! Means a ton to me! Maybe I'll change my name to Howler also- I have a tendency to beg too. I tried to make Serena different from all those stereotypes (though now I think the stereotypes are making her different), but I'm glad you noticed! I'll keep updating if you keep rambling!

Sarah- No, I'm not going to write anymore, sorry. Kidding! Of course! Anything to please you guys! Was it really good? Do ya think so? Thanks for reviewing!

Yumiko- Only a tad bizarre? Darn, I was going for really bizarre! But really, I was going for a little bizarre because I wanted different. As long as you think it's interesting, I'm happy!

harryhermioneluv- I'm glad you think it's good and love it! Does it really sound like the Princess Diaries? How? I've never read the books so I couldn't know… Of course I'll keep going though.

kirei*snow*tenshi- You really, really loved it? Yay! I'm trying to write as fast as I can! I hope you keep on loving it!

Cassie- Thanks! I'm writing more (obviously, because I just wrote a new chapter!) Was that confusing? Sorry, I got confused there myself. Anyway, thank you and I'll try and keep my other chapters just as awesome! (But I'm gonna need you to be the Awesome Critic!)

MajikzPawn- Hm… thank you for pointing out very goof points. Did I really not explain about the dandelions. I thought I did. I'll go back and check and add to my story later on if I need to. About Serena and Seiya, do you mean when I first mentioned him in this chapter? Because if so, she did. She met him on her first or second day of school (I can't remember which). Oh! I get what you're saying now! She did meet him before! I didn't straight out write it, but I did specify. I can see where you got confused. I'm not going to give much away, but he was at her other schools, kind of stalking her. And yes, she did beat him up then. Go Serena! Thanks for trying to clear that up and being very perceptive! I can't say I hurried up, but I did post the next chapter right? Thanks for reviewing!
