::Erin steps onto a stage with a microphone::
"Hello everyone! Sorry I have been gone so long..."
::Audience throws tomatoes at Erin as she tries to dodge them all::
"Enough of that. I do have a new chapter for you all..."
::Audience freezes and slowly puts down the tomatoes::
::Erin smiles:: Hihi all. I hope that my loyal and faithful fans will be as forgiving as my little cartoon sketch. I love you all, and I love to write, it just so
happens that the biggest thing in my life right now happens to be very...involving. Sorry that I have ignored you and my stories, but I am
on summer vacation now, and I will haul ass to get them up.
Love y'all,
~Erin ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~Summer Sun Grocery Store~
Serena slowly pushed the cart around yet another corner. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and mentally cursed the store's air conditioner for not working better.
She looked up ahead at her best friend Raye. At the moment she was looking at cereal boxes and deciding which she liked better.
"Sere, Lucky Charms or Trix?" Raye asked, holding the two boxes next to her head.
Serena squinted in thought and tried to decide despite the heat.
"Uh...good question."
Raye sighed and threw the boxes back on the shelf.
"Serena, we have two days of school left. You are staying the first two weeks of the summer with me. If you want to make it a functional summer, you are going to have to give some input."
Raye grabbed the boxes off the shelf and held them in front of her.
"Now, Lucky Charms or Trix?" she asked again.
Serena smiled a nervous smile.
"Trix?"
Raye smiled and tossed several boxes of the cereal into the cart. Serena sank lower into her stupor and listened to Raye make the selections of foods for her.
Meanwhile~
In the next aisle over, Heero was pushing the cart and trying to decide which laundry detergent was cheapest. He bent over to look at the selection when all of a sudden...
"HEERO! CHECK THIS!"
Heero quickly straightened up and looked toward the end of the aisle.
Duo was climbing the shelves and knocking stuff over as he went. Heero ran down the aisle and stood under the place his friend was climbing.
"Duo? What are you doing?" Heero asked, emotionless and embarrassed.
"I'm going for a record, man! Best pickup line ever!"
Heero shook his head in disbelief.
"This is a pickup line, how?"
Duo grinned.
"Next babe that rolls by, I jump into her cart! How can you resist a guy that landed in your shopping cart, huh?"
Heero blinked.
"There's laughing in my head," he said before turning away.
"What, you don't believe me?" Duo called after him.
Heero turned back.
"Not particularly," he said.
A rattle in the next aisle signaled someone was coming. Duo peered over the tops of the shelves and whistled.
"Damn, she's fine! Hey! And she's got a friend!"
Heero shook his head as he bent down to get the laundry detergent.
"Hey! Heero! They're coming this way! I'm gunna jump!"
Heero laughed.
"Good luck with that, Duo."
He turned back to the laundry soap, and the next thing he heard was a loud,
"AHHH!".
There were shrieks from women, a loud crash, and the sound of many things falling.
Heero turned and ran down the aisle to the accident site.
The whole shelf was overturned, the cart was missing, and only one arm could be found from under the wreckage.
Heero pulled the arm that was Duo out from under many jugs of bleach and hand soap. Duo looked shaken but shot a huge grin at his friend.
"It worked!"
Heero slapped Duo upside the head and shook his head.
"You killed them! Where are they?"
At that, a pile of mops moved and from underneath came, by Heero's standards, a hot girl. She had dark, exotic looks, and piercing blue eyes. She stood and glared at Duo.
"What," she started. "In God's name did you think you were doing?"
Duo ran and hid behind Heero, who stepped forward and held out his hand.
"I'm so sorry he did that. That's Duo. I'm Heero. I just want to apologize for his idiocy, miss...?"
She shook her hair and very curtly shook his hand.
"Raye."
Heero smiled.
"Miss Raye, I'm quite sorry."
She smiled at Heero then glared at Duo.
"Thank you Heero. When I came here I didn't expect things to be flying at me."
"Is there anyway we could help you?" asked Duo from around Heero.
Raye glared at him again.
"Actually, I did have a friend, but she's probably DEAD now!" she shouted.
"No, I'm ok," came the muffled answer.
Slowly the cart moved and shuffled.
"No, I'm not ok. I think I'm stuck." the voice called.
Heero wandered over to the cart and tried to turn it back over, but to no avail. He slowly reached his arm under and a hand grasped his. Heero pulled slowly and out came...
Heero was speechless. He was now face to face with a blonde girl with blue eyes.
But not just any blue eyes.
Those blue eyes.
And that face.
Heero stammered.
"Se-Se-Sere?"
Serena's eyes widened in surprise and recognition.
After all, it was him.
The same build,
face,
those eyes.
"He...Heero? Is that really you?"
Heero nodded wordlessly.
In that moment, Raye and Duo were lost and confused.
"You, know each other?" Raye asked, one eyebrow arched quizzically.
"For all my life," Serena responded breathlessly.
Heero moved his head closer to Serena's, then hesitated. Finally, after a moment of staring into each other's eyes, their lips met in a soft, gentle kiss.
~Awhile later~
Serena was sitting in Heero's lap in a booth at the local pizza parlor. She slowly kissed his forehead.
"I'm so glad that I found you," she whispered.
Raye and Duo were sitting across from them.
"So, how do you know each other?" Duo asked.
Serena and Heero hesitated.
"I...I really don't know. I just know her." Heero answered, shrugging.
Duo and Raye seemed confused. Raye looked at her watch.
"Uh-oh. It's four-thirty. We have to go, Sere. Sorry," said Raye, sympathy in her eyes.
Serena smiled weakly.
"It's not your fault Raye."
She turned to Heero.
"I need your phone number."
Heero had already handed her a piece of paper with his number on it, and he had a pen poised over another, ready for hers.
After exchanging numbers, Serena and Heero kissed one last time before departing.
"So Heero, when did you score a babe like that?" Duo asked.
"I don't know, but...I think..."
"What do you think?"
Heero paused.
"I think I love her."
~Down the street~
"No offense Sere, but that was really weird," Raye commented. "You don't even know him!"
Serena smiled and sighed.
"What is wrong with you? You're not even listening!" complained Raye.
"Raye?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm in love..." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Yeah, that's my fluff for the day. What did you all think? Please review, even if you're just doing it to diss on me. I hope y'all enjoyed, and I'll
post the next chapter ASAP.
Love you all,
~Erin
