Meet the Cutie
The game started, and was very eventful. The Thrashers scored the first goal, and it never stopped from there. And just as the cutie promised Serena, he scored a goal for her. But he didn't stop there, he went on to score hat trick, a total of 3 goals; each one was followed by a point at Serena, a point that didn't go unnoticed by Lita and the others.
"Lita, ummm, who is that guy? Number 7?" Serena asked Lita at one point during the game. "Oh, the cute one with the deep blue eyes? He is Darien Shields, and in fact, he lives in the apartment under Ken and I. He's a really great guy," Lita replied. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason," Serena said with a smile on her face. "Is there anyway I could meet him? Either after the game or at your place?"
Lita sat silently for a moment, she recognized the look that Serena had on her face, the look of what could be called "puppy love". Rei also saw the look on her face and smiled to herself. It was about time Serena found a guy to be interested in. "Well Lita, is there a way that Serena can meet him? I wouldn't mind meeting him either," Rei said to Lita in a whisper. But it wasn't soft enough, Mina and Ami heard as well and said that they too wanted to meet him. "I can see what I can do, but I'm not sure, it might be hard. They are leaving for a road trip tomorrow, but I'm taking care of his plants and animals so we'll see." Unbeknownst to her, Darien had already conceived a plan to meet his most lovely fan.
"Attention, we have a special program going on tonight. If you would please check your tickets at this time, we are going to announce the player's choice. Player's choice is a new fan appreciation event we are going to try this year and if we get good reviews, will be implemented for the rest of the season, and beyond," the announcer said over the loud speakers. "Here we go. Section Number: 110. Row: A. Seat: 6. If you have that ticket please come to the guest relations booth during the next intermission."
Serena stared dumbfounded at her ticket. That was her ticket that was called, she had won. "Oh my gosh, I won," was all she could say.
The intermission came and the Thrashers were leading by the score of 4 to 1. Serena not sure of where to booth was got Lita and Rei to go with her so she wouldn't get lost. "Hi, I have the winning ticket that was called out during the game," Serena said. "Well Congratulations! Would you like to know what you won?" Serena nodded her head vigorously. "Well you win a home jersey, a hat, and a visit with tonights choice player. And as of right now that looks like Darien Shields." Serena's jaw dropped. "WOW!"
Grabbing her jersey and hat, Serena, Lita, and Rei made their way back to their seats. They stopped at the concession stand and bought some drinks and some snacks to eat during the last period.
Ami and Mina were waiting for them to get back. "WHAT DID YOU WIN?!?!" Ami and Mina asked when the other three made it back. "Well I won this jersey, this hat, and I get to meet Darien Shields!" Serena said.
Serena and the girls sat excitedly through the last 20 minutes of the game. "BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!" The buzzer sounded, signaling the game was over. As the girls left their seats they were met by a security guard. "Which one of you is the winner?" Serena raised her hand. "Please follow me, the rest of you can as well."
Serena, the security guard and the girls reached the locker room. The guard motioned for them to wait right where they were standing so that he could make sure that the team was decent for guests. "Ok, you all can come in."
"All of us? I just thought that it was going to me," Serena said as they walked into the locker room. As they walked into the locker room there were whistles and catcalls. Each girl blushed as the events took place. "Ok guys enough, we have guests act like the nice guys you really are," one of the coaches said.
Serena and the girls walked in and sat down like they were told to do. "Darien will be out in a second, he's having to answer some questions for the press," the coach said. "My name's Rick Davis, and I'm the head coach of the Thrashers. It's our pleasure for you to be the first to win the fan appreciation players choice."
Just then Darien walked into the locker room area, and saw Serena and the girls. "Hey Lita," Darien said while giving Lita a hug. "We're still on for my plants and animals right?" "You bet. Dare, I'd like to introduce you to my friends. This is Ami, Rei, Mina, and this is Serena," Lita said. She then whispered to him, "I noticed that you were giving looks to Serena, did you set up this arrangement?" "Never," Darien said back with a smile.
"Hi Ami, Rei and Mina," Darien said while shaking their hands. "And hello Serena, are you the lucky ticket holder?"
"Yes," Serena said with a slight blush on her cheeks. She extended her hand to shakes his and to her surprise he kissed it. "Is this your first hockey game?" Darien asked. "Yes, and I enjoyed it so much. I hope I can come to more of the games this season," Serena gushed.
"Well how about this, I can give you my season tickets that I have. I mean they are for my family, but they can't come to any of the games this season, so they are just sitting in my desk at home. They're your is you want them. I think here are five in total. Perfect for you and your friends," Darien said, pleading with her through his eyes for her to take the tickets.
"Um, sure. I'd love to have them, but only if you are sure your family can't make any of the games," Serena replied. Lita gave Darien a look, she knew that his parents had died in a car crash when he was about 12 and that he didn't have any living family. "Nope, they can't make it," was his reply. "Since you are a friend of Lita's, why don't you pick them up later today. That is if you are going to her apartment."
"I'll be there, totally!" Serena said with a smile. "Um, can I ask you a question? Can I have your autograph?"
"Sure."
The girls stayed and talked to the player for a bit more and then realized that they had to go. Lita told Darien that all the girls would be over at her house that night spending the night and having dinner. She also invited him over for dinner. He accepted. As the girls left, Darien walked to his car too escorting them to Litas'. "I'll you later tonight then. Have fun," Darien said.
"BYE!" the girls said as they got in the car, and drove away. Serena had a huge smile on her face; the same smile Darien had on his as he drove home.
