Unforgotten Friend

Darien began to read the several letters. They told how she was doing in America, and each of them always asked how life was in Tokyo. Occasionally, she asked if he meant what he said in his note the day she left Tokyo. He grinned at the last letter, and she smiled. "Well?" She asked. "Well what?" He said stubbornly. She grabbed the letter from his hand and hit him in the face with it. "Answer!" She said, crossing her arms over her chest. Darien showed his boyish smiled. "Answer what?" He said, jumping up. "Do you-" Serena quickly realized what she was saying and stopped. "Do I what?" He said as she turned away, blushing. "Err.. Nevermind." She smiled. "Tell me!" He said persistently. "No, I don't want you to think I'm a complete air head." She said backing up through the door. He moved forward. "A little late." He laughed. "Why don't we go see a movie?" She said, running into the kitchen. "Don't change the subject!" He chortled chasing after her. "I said never mind!" She said, grabbing the news paper that covered the kitchen table. "Just tell me!" He continued. She sighed, and turned her head to him. "Do you-..." Darien looked with hopeful eyes. 'I can't tell him', she thought. "Do you like the rose I gave you?" She asked. Darien's hopeful eyes fell, "Yeah, its-its beautiful." He brushed his hair back.

They did decide on to go see a movie, since they had nothing more to do. They walked side bye side into the theatre. Buying pop-corn before hand. Then they made their way into the movie room, where a small group of people were sitting, chit-chatting. They sat down in the front row, just in time for the previews. Lucky for Serena, it was a comedy, so she wouldn't cry in front of Darien.

After the movie, the friends returned to Darien's apartment. The girls weren't back, and that surprised them, but they just brushed it off. (AN-- hehehe.. time for the awkward silence *turns awkward silence button on*) Serena sat on the couch, and Darien, well, stood. "Um... do you want to watch TV or something?" Serena asked, not noticing the pitter patter on the patio door. "Actually, I think I'm gonna go hit the hay." Darien replied. "Ok, see you in the morning." Serena smiled to Darien, and then slumped back. "I'm so pathetic." She muttered to herself.

She decided that she would begin to get ready for bed too. She changed into her pajama's, and came out brushing her teeth. She began to stretch, and a flash of lightning shot out across the sky. Her eyes went wide and the tooth brush fell out of her mouth. She looked at the living room, and then to Darien's bedroom. She whimpered and then ran to his open door and crawled into the spot next to him.

Darien, who felt the other side of the bed slightly go down. Turned quickly. There he saw a terrified Serena, curled up into a ball. "Serena, what's the matter?" He asked rubbing his head. "Thunder and lightning." She whimpered. "Your not still scared of that are you?" He questioned, sitting upright. "ITS SCARY!" She said, sitting up along with him. Thunder cracked and she pulled the blankets down with her to the bed. "You can sleep with me." He said awkwardly. She slowly rose up. "I mean, you can sleep in the bed, with me." She continued to rise, her baby blue eyes sparkling. "I mean, you can sleep in the bed, along with me." He corrected once again. Serena jumped into Darien's arms and said, "Thank you muffin."
