Unforgotten Friend

Serena sat smirking in satisfaction. "You ruined our present!" Raye screamed. "Hey, it doesn't matter. I don't need presents or nothin'. I'm just glad to be back in Tokyo." Serena smiled sincerely. "How about we move in on your birthday, that'll be sort of special." Lita persisted. "All right, if there's no inconvenience to Darien." She agreed, turning to Darien, who smiled at the thought of having Serena around. "None at all! I love having you guys over." He nodded, happily. "Okay then, its settled." Serena nodded. "BUT- NONE of you will give me anything for my birthday, understood?" Serena scowled. Everyone crossed their fingers, "Understood." The chorused. "Ok, I have to go to the bathroom, be right back." As soon as Serena was out of hearing range, Raye crossed her arms over her chest. "Never listened to Meatball Head yet, why start now?" She laughed. The girls smiled evilly.

Serena returned from the bathroom, and they went for a walk around Tokyo Park. The girls trailed behind ever so slightly though. "So, we've set them up, sort of. What should we do now?" Mina asked, watching Serena and Darien laugh ahead of them. "I'm starting to warm up to the idea of locking them in a trunk." Lita admitted. "Maybe not a trunk, but a closet or something." Amy agreed reluctantly. Raye nodded. "So why don't we?" Mina asked, looking at them all. The girls looked up to her in confusion. "Where are we gonna find a closet?" Amy said, pointing out the obvious. "That guy Serena was talking to, I'm sure he'll help!" Mina suggested. "Alright, lets do this!" Surprisingly enough, it was Amy who said this. The girls nodded, and they figured out where and when to put their plan into action.

They returned from the walk about a half an hour later. Serena had gotten tired, and wanted to go back to Darien's place. "Alright Serena." Darien replied.
"What should we have for lunch?" Darien asked, looking through his cabinets, in his small kitchen. "I don't know what you guys like."
Serena took a chair and sat down. "What do you have?"
Darien smirked. "I think we'll have some.. Spaghetti and Meatballs, Meatball Head."
Serena scowled. "Alrighty, muffin."

The girls smiled at the couple, and then began to talk among themselves. "Well, lets go ask him right now. Come on--- Hey Serena, Darien, we're going to go to umm... the mall. We want to look at some clothes." Raye lied.
"Y-yeah, umm, we'll use the money we brought along." Mina confirmed.
"Okay..." Serena said, staring at them. They scurried off, and headed straight to the Crown Arcade.
"That was weird, I wonder if they don't like me..." Darien said, reaching for a Prego Spaghetti sauce bottle.
"No, I'm sure its nothing like that. I think maybe they met some boys." Serena said, walking up to him. "Here, if you can lift me up, I can grab it." She said.
He turned around, grabbed her by the waist, and lifted her to the top shelf. "Got it!" She said, as Darien lowered her to the ground.
"Okay, you wanna help me?" Darien asked, putting down the Prego, and picking up a Spaghetti packet.
"If you promise not to file a lawsuit against me for burning down your house!" Serena said, giggling.
"Agreed! Also, I have a shift at the hospital today, you want to come? See what its like?" He asked.
Serena nodded. "I'd love to!"

So they made the spaghetti, and when the girls hadn't returned, they ate without them. Once they were done, they washed the dishes, and then left a note saying where they were.
Girls,
I'm at the hospital, Darien said I could come and see what its like. Be back later!
Serena & Darien

~*~*~*~*~*~
Once Darien and Serena arrived, he immediately had to go to work. "You can either stay here, or you can come with me. The first thing I have to do is a check up." He said, pointing to the appointment on his clipboard.
"Do you mind if I come?" She asked.
"Not at all!" She nodded, and then followed him into a white room.
A little boy was laying down, staring at the ceiling. "Hello Justin, how are you today?" Darien asked, sitting down on a stool. Serena sat down on another one, that was sitting in a corner.
"I'm good Dr. Shields." Justin replied.
"I heard you've been playing soccer, do you like it?" Darien asked, taking a stethoscope off his neck.
"Yeah, its a lot of fun. Is that your girlfriend?" Justin asked, pointing at Serena with interest. Darien and Serena blushed.
"Well, she's a girl, and my friend." Darien replied. Serena nodded.
"That's cool." Justin said.
"Ok, this might be cold." Darien said, putting the stethoscope on Justin's chest. "A nice steady heartbeat, ok."
'He's so involved.' Serena thought, watching Darien look at Justin's ears. 'And so cute while doing it!'
"Well, that's all Justin. See you in 6 months!" Darien called, waving at Justin. Darien turned to Serena. "I have to give a shot to a little girl, maybe you could help comfort her?" Darien asked, watching a blonde, curly haired, little girl walking down the hall.
"Sure." Serena replied.
"Hello Carry, how are you?" Darien asked, readying the shot.
"Scared... Does the shot hurt?" She asked.
"Ask her, she got one the other day." Darien said, pointing to Serena.
"Does it?" Carry asked, looking at Serena.
"No, I didn't even realize I got it. I kept talking, and talking." Serena assured her.
"You promise?" Carry asked, tears filling her eyes.
"Promise!" Serena agreed.
Carry closed her eyes, and wondered when she was going to get the shot. "Okay! Done!" Darien said.
"Really? Its over? Wow!" Carry said.
"Here's a loli-pop, you were a good girl." Darien said, handing her a Tootsie Pop.
"Thank you Dr. Shields, thank you miss!" Then Carry skipped off in delight.

That's what they did, they returned after dark, and they fell asleep watching TV, in each others arms.

And she has a story, its kind of like Stranded with Him, called A few weeks or Forever?, so please read and review it.
