Shall we….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SERENA AND THE GIRLS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena and the girls all got ready to go to Miltia, instead of the outlaw outfits that each girl had they decided to wear the clothes that Molly had brought them the night before. All except for Serena of course, she stuck with her "outlaw uniform" as she called it! Which was her tight fitting red dress with the white ruffles! Under her garments was her derringer loaded with 2 bullets (I know that derringers only hold 1 bullet but there are some that hold 2, I did research! ^ O ^!!) and she kept her twin guns always on her side ready to draw and fire! Serena was always alert but she never showed it!
All the girls kept their guns aside of them, except for Amy!
"How far is Miltia, we've never been there have we?" Mina asked in a cheerful tone.
"Nope, we never robbed that city *sniffle*!" Serena said with tearful eyes
"Oh Serena, shut up, the least we could do for Molly is not rob her town you ditz!" Raye said while giving Serena a rater large bump on her head (Anime Style)
Serena started to cry and wine, she looked at Amy for reassurance but instead she got a cold look that basically meant 'grow up'
"Amy…AMY!!!" Serena screamed
"Serena, grow up, and Raye stop pushing her limits and chill out! We have at least a 2 hour walk till we get to Miltia and I don't wanna hear u two acting like 5 year olds when you both are 18 years old! It's foolish and unnecessary!" Amy said in her usual calm voice
'Well that answers my question' Thought Mina
'I can't believe Amy just said that,…Raye started it!' Serena said to herself
'I can't believe Amy just said that,…Serena started it!' Raye also said to herself
The rest of the walk towards Miltia was nothing but silence! They finally arrived after a torturous walk through the desert from the mountains.
"W-W-WAAAATTTTERRRRR….NEED…WATER-R!!" All of the girls uttered
As soon as a well was spotted in town all 5 girls ran straight to it faster then the speed of light and gulped down as much as their bodies would allow!
Upon finishing the mouth fulls of water they heard a man coming onto a young girl.
"Hey babe, how about you and me rent a room in the Grand Hotel?" The man asked in a seductive tone
"NO GET AWAY FROM ME YOU DUMBASS!!" The Raven haired girl screamed while trying to get her wrist back from the man's grip!
As soon as she pulled her hand away she began with her work once again ignoring the man! She was lifting open barrels of grub, which consisted of nasty things like worms and mud and left over food like maggoty cheese and you get the point!
"Girl I don't like being treated with such manners of yours!" the man yelled and grabbed her once again!
By this time Lita had rolled up the sleeves of her trench coat she had on and with angry jade eyes she began to walk over towards the man ready to pound him to the ground! She was stopped by Serena.
"Lita let me handle this one!" Serena said to the tall women
"Fine…but you better hurry, I can't take much more of that asshole!" Lita replied back
Serena began to walk over to the girl and man, she noticed that the man looked like he was in his mid thirties and was dressed in rich clothes! The little girl looked as if she was merely 10 or 11 years old!
"Excuse me, but little girl do you need help with that? Oh here let me help!" Serena said in her sweetest voice possible, completely ignoring the man to her left staring at her.
'What the hell is she doing now?' Thought Raye
Serena and the little girl had eye contact for a quick second and with that Serena slyly winked an eye to the girl without the man noticing! He didn't notice because he was far to interested in something else like Serena's chest for example! (hah typical man! LOL)
'Typical man, always interested in other things, this is gonna be funny…' Serena considered
She then bent down in a seductive way and went to lift the barrel, as soon as she grabbed the barrel the man grabbed her ass! And with that Serena jumped in surprise and flung the barrel on top of the man.
He began to scream and mutter cuss words inside the barrel! He kept running trying to get the damned thing off his head and instead to his luck he ran right into a sign and fell backwards onto the ground!
Laughing her ass off, Serena took out her gun and with little interest she shot it wildly at the barrel, causing it to fall a part and reveal an unharmed yet very dirty man inside!
"hahahahahahah…..ohh that was funny, thank you Serena!" Said the little raven haired girl
"oh no problem Hotaru…looks like you needed the help, where's your mum?" Asked Serena
"HOTARU….Hotaru, good lord child you almost gave me a heart attack! I heard gunshots and…" She was cut off by Serena giving the elderly women a hug
"I missed you Setsuna!" Serena said
"Oh Serena what a surprise!" Setsuna said
'What is she doing here?' Pondered the women
By now all the other girls were there giving hugs to Setsuna and Hotaru, their hometown friends.
"So what brings ya'll here?" The women asked
'She seems different, I feel something different about her, what could it be?' Raye concentrated to herself
"Well we are here to visit Molly and her family, and we promised we wouldn't cause trouble so there's nothing to worry about!" Announced Amy
'Why does she seem so different in some way' Amy thought
"We never expected to see both of you here, did you move into this town?" Questioned Mina
"Well…ya we did, it's lovely here and everyone's nice…*turns to look at the sobbing man* well mostly everyone's nice!" Setsuna replied with a smile plastered to her face.
"Hey there ya'll are, I was wondering when you was all gonna show, when I heard the gunshots I kinda thought it was ya'll!" Laughed Molly
"Hey Moll, we were just talking to Setsuna and Hotaru!" Lita waved at the scarlet haired women walking towards them!
"We'll finish this discussion later, come by the store later tonight, we're actually quite busy right now okay?" Setsuna said and with that she waved her hand goodbye and with Hotaru they both went inside to finish working!
"Okay, see ya later!" All the girls said
"I almost forgot, I signed You both up to sing in ma bar tonight!" smiled Molly pointing towards Mina and Serena, "Raye I didn't assign you because I wanted your permission first, seems how you are so talented!"
The real truth was that Molly was afraid to because of Raye's temper of course!
'Oh please Raye, I want ya to sing tonight, your voice is soo lovely!' Wished Molly
"Oh no, I don't feel like it tonight, maybe tomorrow, we plan on spending a night here so don't worry!" Raye simply said
"woo woo woo, wait a minute, us? Why us?" Asked Mina and Serena in unison
'I don't wanna sing!' Mina and Serena thought
"Well, Mina, it's just that your so beautiful, and with the clothes I can lend you you could be like a real actress ya know?" With that said Mina turned all dreamy eyed and said
"Okay, Okay I'll do it!"
"Ummmm…Mina…You are so DENSE" Serena shouted
"Serena…I'm willing to pay you oh say…100 dollars if you do this for me!" Molly said with a pout
"………..well…………..hhmmmm…….fine…you got yourself a deal Moll!" Serena shook hands with Molly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DARIEN AND ANDREW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Only a few more miles just a few more miles' Andrew tried to convince himself
"Darien…how long?" Andrew questioned
'I don't know for sure…dammitt' Darien thought
"Ummmm…just a few more miles!" He then stated firmly
Andrew and Darien had been riding horseback for the last 2 or 3 days, they had gone hours without water.
"I…need…water!!" Andrew unconsciously said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 HOURS LATER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Only a few more miles just a few more miles' Andrew tried to convince himself…again
"Darien…how long" Andrew again questioned
"You already asked that question, be patient will ya?" Darien said to his annoying partner
"Yeah about 3 hours ago I did, not how lo--" Andrew stopped in mid sentence to see a n image in the sandy winds of the desert
"I-IS T-THAT A-A…TOWN!!!" Andrew cried out
"HOLY SHIT…I-I THINK IT IS!!" Darien hollered with his hands on his forehead looking into the desert
'Water, I need water!!' Darien and Andrew both thought
Andrew and Darien fiercely galloped to the distant town and it only took them 10 minutes to reach the outside.
They read the town sign which simply stated the name of the town
"Miltia" Andrew and Darien said
"Well I'll be damned, we find the closet town to rest in and it's actually Miltia, hell I was right!" Darien verbalized
"Hey ummmm...Dare…I'm really tired and for just this once can we please take a brake from bounty hunting, I mean what are the chances of running into the 'whole' gang here?" Andrew pleaded
'Well he does have a point, and besides they're probably headed somewhere else' Darien thought
"Well, okay I promise you that we will not worry about them and our work. Even if we see just one member of the Radical Dreamers, we will just ignore them and relax!" Declared Darien with his right hand raised
"Okay, it's settled then!" Andrew cheerfully said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IN THE BAR WITH THE GIRLS AND MOLLY (AT MILTIA)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Hhmmmm…I have a bad feeling about this!' Serena contemplated uneasily
"Oh come on Serena, we'll be alright!" Mina said
"Huh?…what do you mean, I didn't say anything?" Questioned Serena. 'Or at least I think I didn't say anything…'
"Oh Serena I can see it in your eyes, you worried, and I know I know, you feel naked without your guns, we'll be wearing a dress so you can just keep your…aww…"
"Derringer?"
"Yeah that thing under your dress as usual!"
Serena and Mina were both in the dressing room getting ready to perform on stage with everyone watching, well doing there thing like playing cards and drinking. Serena was so nervous, she wasn't sure about the song she was gonna sing at all and she was a carefree person. Mina on the other hand was excited and didn't show a bit of worry at all! Serena admired her for that.
'I'm worried this dress doesn't look right!' Mina worried
"Ummmm…ahh…Serena? Does this dress look okay on me, is it too reveal-ish or something?" Asked Mina
Serena looked Mina up and down. Mina was wearing a pale orange tube top that had laced up the front, and it pushed her breast up to reveal a lot of cleavage. Her white skirt was a low rise and tied on the side with dangly strings. The skirt dropped below her knees and too her ankles and on the bottom it had ruffles that matched the color of her top. She had on pale orange high heels that laced up her legs. Her hair was in her normal style which was pulled back with a reddish looking bow, but this time the bow was white like her skirt. The golden hoops were wrist wide and dangled from her ears barely brushing up against her shoulders. Bright orange eye shadow covered her eye lids and her lips were a glossy quiet nude!
"Mina, you look beautiful as always!" Serena remarked
"Awe, thank you Serena *gets teary eyed*!" Mina cried as she lunged onto Serena forcing a hug out of her!
Both girls cracked up laughing as they landed on the floor side by side each other.
"Mina, I look alright…right?" Serena asked as they both stood up
Mina looked at Serena. She was wearing an identical top like herself, but the color was a pale red that looked like a bright pink, it also revealed her toned stomach again like Mina's. Serena's skirt was a pale red much like her top but it was a more darker color. It was tight all the way around her legs and when it reached her knees it loosened up and fell to the floor with white ruffles on the end. Her skirt dragged behind her and it had a slit on her right side that revealed her right leg. Her shoes were like Mina's, they wrapped around her legs and were the same color as her top was. Shimmering pink eye shadow concealed her eye lids. She had in golden hoops that were a bit smaller then Mina's but were still as golden and rich looking. Serena's lips were a glossy peach that almost looked like a deep pink from a distance. Her hair was in her regular odangos and on each 'meatball' there was a little white rose.
"Serena, my dear, you look prettier then ever, you should dress up like this more often instead of your 'Bad-ass-girl' look!" Mina said with a little laughter escaping
Serena looked at her and just smiled
'Well, I would but I feel so innocent, and that just not me.' Serena reckoned to herself
Before they were able to speak another word they heard Molly's voice
"Girls 1 minute till you're on! Get out here right now" She hollered
"ALRIGHT!!" The 2 girls shouted in unison
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DARIEN AND ANDREW (IN MILTIA)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey lets hit the bar for some drinks, why not take advantage and get drunk on our little vacation?" Andrew expressed
"What the hell…"
The tow cowboys went into the bar. They sat down at the table and were soon asking the bartender for some Whiskey and a bottle of Bacardi.
The two boys shortly received their drinks, they knocked glassed together and then dumped the liquid in their mouths.
They were about to have another round until they heard a lovely voice come from the stage to their right.
(This song is by: Evanescence Song: Somebody Like You)
There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known.
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done.
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do.
I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you.
Serena sang the first part, she sounded and looked like an angel from heaven was singing the world to sleep with her lullaby. Everyone stopped what they were doing .
"Wow, she's beautiful, and her voice…wow!" Andrew uttered to his partner
"Yeah…I…know…" Darien then uttered
'Wait a minute, those eyes….AAHHHHHH….THAT'S SERENA! What the hell is she doing here!' Darien thought
He then began to reach for his gun and noticed that Andrew was looking at him. He stopped and looked up at Andrew with pleading eyes.
"I take it that Serena…huh?" Asked Andrew
"Andrew, come on, theres no other perfect chance then to capture her right now right here, we'll get our reward and get on with our lives." Darien pleaded
"Remember our promise, this is a vacation! You swore! And besides she doesn't seem like shes being a bad girl taday anyway. All shes doing is singing and danci---woo…helllooo precious!" Andrew looked up at the stage with dreamy eyes to see a girl singing the next verse! She was almost identical to Serena but she wore her hair down and to Andrew she was the true Angel of the show.
An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays.
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made.
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you.
"Fine, but you owe me for this…" Darien said in an annoyed manner
"So whos this one" Andrew said pointing to the girl on stage
"Oh that, that's Mina The Mafia Maid, careful she's known for breaking men's hearts! They also say she can't be tamed, but of course so is Serena, She the true flame that can't be tamed!" Darien muttered while looking at Serena on stage singing and dancing
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do...
I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast.
I'd take one step forward and two steps back.
Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you.
"You wanna know what I think? I think you got eyes for Serena!" Andrew slyly said
"Is it that noticeable?" Asked Darien
"Well…to me it is but to everyone else I doubt it!" Andrew replied
'Oh well he is my best friend, it's okay if he knows my secret' Thought Darien
'Holy shit Mina is beautiful, I want her…'Andrew dreamily thought to himself
They 2 guys both watched in awe at the 2 girls performing and they noticed that the girls were almost communicating to each other in a sly way. This puzzled Darien.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SERENA AND MINA'S POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Oh my god, I can't believe it, Darien's actually here, shit what am I gonna do! I know he'll cause a seen just to get what he wants! Shit' Serena thought
Serena started to dance and keep eye contact with Mina and soon after she started she had eye contact with Mina. She was basically trying to tell her to look into the audience and look at a certain table. Mina noticed this and then she say Serena dance a certain way, Serena moved 2 steps to the left and 3 steps back and then brought her hands up to her eyes which meant look. So Mina looked 2 tables to the left and the 3 tables back while she was dancing and singing. She say a Dirty blonde haired blue eyed man sitting with a handsome dark haired man.
She then looked at serena and gave her a look that meant, 'Is that him'
And Serena nodded her head!
Whoa here we go now baby!
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
Well, baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do.
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand,
But you're teachin' me to be a better man.
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
I'm ready to love somebody,
Love somebody like you
. Oooh. An' I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you, yeah.
Serena and Mina were almost done with the song, and each time she say Darien move she almost had to strangle herself to keep from reaching her Derringer.
An' I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you, yeah.
Oh yeah. Oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night,
Shinin' like it's true.
I wanna be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it's way
Wanna be a better man I see it in you yeah...
The song was finally over with and Serena and Mina took their bow and left the stage in under a second.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NORMAL POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I can't believe how hot that guy was, his eyes are a sparkly turquoise! Wow and dark haired fella, Serena's perfect match…' Mina thought to herself as her and Serena changed into their normal clothes.
Soon after they were done changing Lita and the rest of the girls ran into the changing room and Lita almost screamed when she said…
"HOLY SHIT SERENA, DARIEN'S HERE! What are we gonna do?"
'What are we gonna do?' Lita thought in a panic way
"Calm down Lita, if he was gonna make a scene he would have already done it by now, there's a large bounty on all of heads. It's obvious that he's maybe taking a brake!" Amy reassured Lita
"Ames is right, lets just calm done and get on with our lives like nothings happened, in fact lets pretend that their not even there and if they talk to us just talk back ya know?" Serena calmly said
"Well we'll see how this works out, but if things go wrong I'm taking this into my own hands Serena!" Raye ordered
'When will she ever face the fact that I could be right sometimes?' Serena reckoned
The girls causally walked into the bar area and sat down at a table. Molly came by and took their order and then soon after sat down with all of them to chat about what's been going on.
After about two hours of chatting Serena got up and as she was about to leave Amy asked
"Serena where are you going?"
'Now what is she doing' Amy thought
"Oh Ames, I'm really tiered so I'm gonna go to the hotel and hit the hey!" She replied
"Okay we'll leave in a couple of hours. We might go see Setsuna and Hotaru afterwards." Mina said
"Alright goodnight ya'll!" Serena waved to her fellow companions.
In the meantime Darien and Andrew we're talking about something (whatever it is that guys talk about), Darien say Serena walk by him and she gave him a look that sent chills up his back and then she was gone.
"Say Andrew I'm gonna go to the hotel and sleep the rest of the night alright?" Darien said
"Okay, I'm gonna pick round here and maybe see if I cam get to know our 'ribals'." He said
"Andrew…don't get close!"
"What are you talking 'bout I won… come on this is strictly perfessonal."
"You mean professional. Man you are seriously drunk!"
"I swear to drunk I am not god!" Andrew said in a funny voice
"whatever, don't get into trouble!" With that Darien was gone,
Andrew walked over to the girl's table, somewhat tripping on his way over and kindly asked
"Hey gals, mind if I join ya?"
All 5 girls started to giggle, they were all very well aware that he was drunk and he had no clue what he was doing.
'Hmmm….he's drunk I wonder if we can get some information out of him?' Thought Amy
"Why not, bye the way whats your name?" Amy then asked the drunken stranger
Andrew sat down and all the girls introduced each other. They started to talk about the performance that Mina and Serena put on and then all the girls tried to get poor Andrew even more drunk. Unfortunately he kept drinking…and …drinking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OUTSIDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena sat down on the steps of the bar that she had just walked out of, she gave on long sigh and then gazed into the starry night.
Darien walked outside and noticed Serena staring up at the stars.
'Should I say something, or just leave ? Maybe I…well…umm… what do I say…think Darien, think dammitt!!' His thoughts were interrupted by a quiet voice.
"Don't just stand their and think about what to say to me! Have a seat!" Serena said turning her head towards him.
"Nice night huh?" He questioned
Darien walked over to her and sat down right next to her. His shoulders brushed up against her bare arms and he could feel that she got goose bumps when he did this.
'Oh great, why did I have to open my mouth, he could have been gone by now!' She regrettably thought
"So…why are you an outlaw?" Darien asked
'Oh yeah, perfect question Darien, that was smooth!' He said sarcastically to himself
"I was once told that the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say I cannot! And everyone said that I couldn't take after my Mother Irene and be a famous outlaw like her."
'So her mother was the infamous Irene' He considered
"But it's a mistake, all you do are mistakes after another, and it's dangerous."
'Is that what he really thinks?' Serena supposed
"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." (AN: this is a famous quote, I don't know who said it but it wasn't me, I like it!!)
"Being an outlaw is not the only thing you can accomplish in life, there's a hell of lot more to it!"
"You're a very strange person, and you ask strange questions."
"Well what can I say, it's not everyday you have a conversation with an outlaw who doesn't have guns pointing at your head *giggles* ."
"Yeah, I guess your right *giggles*! Which reminds me, how come your not, well you know, trying to capture me or something like that?" She asked
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's all for now, what is he gonna say to answer her question, what will the girls get out of Andrew while he's drunk? Well wait for the next chapter and plz, plz review!!!
Thx

"W-W-WAAAATTTTERRRRR….NEED…WATER-R!!" All of the girls uttered
As soon as a well was spotted in town all 5 girls ran straight to it faster then the speed of light and gulped down as much as their bodies would allow!
Upon finishing the mouth fulls of water they heard a man coming onto a young girl.

"Girl I don't like being treated with such manners of yours!" the man yelled and grabbed her once again!
By this time Lita had rolled up the sleeves of her trench coat she had on and with angry jade eyes she began to walk over towards the man ready to pound him to the ground! She was stopped by Serena.

'Only a few more miles just a few more miles' Andrew tried to convince himself
"Darien…how long?" Andrew questioned
'I don't know for sure…dammitt' Darien thought
"Ummmm…just a few more miles!" He then stated firmly
Andrew and Darien had been riding horseback for the last 2 or 3 days, they had gone hours without water.
"I…need…water!!" Andrew unconsciously said

"HOLY SHIT…I-I THINK IT IS!!" Darien hollered with his hands on his forehead looking into the desert
'Water, I need water!!' Darien and Andrew both thought
Andrew and Darien fiercely galloped to the distant town and it only took them 10 minutes to reach the outside.
They read the town sign which simply stated the name of the town
"Miltia" Andrew and Darien said
"Well I'll be damned, we find the closet town to rest in and it's actually Miltia, hell I was right!" Darien verbalized
"Hey ummmm...Dare…I'm really tired and for just this once can we please take a brake from bounty hunting, I mean what are the chances of running into the 'whole' gang here?" Andrew pleaded
'Well he does have a point, and besides they're probably headed somewhere else' Darien thought
"Well, okay I promise you that we will not worry about them and our work. Even if we see just one member of the Radical Dreamers, we will just ignore them and relax!" Declared Darien with his right hand raised
"Okay, it's settled then!" Andrew cheerfully said

IN THE BAR WITH THE GIRLS AND MOLLY (AT MILTIA)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Hhmmmm…I have a bad feeling about this!' Serena contemplated uneasily
"Oh come on Serena, we'll be alright!" Mina said
"Huh?…what do you mean, I didn't say anything?" Questioned Serena. 'Or at least I think I didn't say anything…'
"Oh Serena I can see it in your eyes, you worried, and I know I know, you feel naked without your guns, we'll be wearing a dress so you can just keep your…aww…"
"Derringer?"
"Yeah that thing under your dress as usual!"
Serena and Mina were both in the dressing room getting ready to perform on stage with everyone watching, well doing there thing like playing cards and drinking. Serena was so nervous, she wasn't sure about the song she was gonna sing at all and she was a carefree person. Mina on the other hand was excited and didn't show a bit of worry at all! Serena admired her for that.
'I'm worried this dress doesn't look right!' Mina worried
"Ummmm…ahh…Serena? Does this dress look okay on me, is it too reveal-ish or something?" Asked Mina
Serena looked Mina up and down. Mina was wearing a pale orange tube top that had laced up the front, and it pushed her breast up to reveal a lot of cleavage. Her white skirt was a low rise and tied on the side with dangly strings. The skirt dropped below her knees and too her ankles and on the bottom it had ruffles that matched the color of her top. She had on pale orange high heels that laced up her legs. Her hair was in her normal style which was pulled back with a reddish looking bow, but this time the bow was white like her skirt. The golden hoops were wrist wide and dangled from her ears barely brushing up against her shoulders. Bright orange eye shadow covered her eye lids and her lips were a glossy quiet nude!
"Mina, you look beautiful as always!" Serena remarked
"Awe, thank you Serena *gets teary eyed*!" Mina cried as she lunged onto Serena forcing a hug out of her!
Both girls cracked up laughing as they landed on the floor side by side each other.
"Mina, I look alright…right?" Serena asked as they both stood up
Mina looked at Serena. She was wearing an identical top like herself, but the color was a pale red that looked like a bright pink, it also revealed her toned stomach again like Mina's. Serena's skirt was a pale red much like her top but it was a more darker color. It was tight all the way around her legs and when it reached her knees it loosened up and fell to the floor with white ruffles on the end. Her skirt dragged behind her and it had a slit on her right side that revealed her right leg. Her shoes were like Mina's, they wrapped around her legs and were the same color as her top was. Shimmering pink eye shadow concealed her eye lids. She had in golden hoops that were a bit smaller then Mina's but were still as golden and rich looking. Serena's lips were a glossy peach that almost looked like a deep pink from a distance. Her hair was in her regular odangos and on each 'meatball' there was a little white rose.
"Serena, my dear, you look prettier then ever, you should dress up like this more often instead of your 'Bad-ass-girl' look!" Mina said with a little laughter escaping
Serena looked at her and just smiled
'Well, I would but I feel so innocent, and that just not me.' Serena reckoned to herself
Before they were able to speak another word they heard Molly's voice
"Girls 1 minute till you're on! Get out here right now" She hollered
"ALRIGHT!!" The 2 girls shouted in unison
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DARIEN AND ANDREW (IN MILTIA)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey lets hit the bar for some drinks, why not take advantage and get drunk on our little vacation?" Andrew expressed
"What the hell…"
The tow cowboys went into the bar. They sat down at the table and were soon asking the bartender for some Whiskey and a bottle of Bacardi.
The two boys shortly received their drinks, they knocked glassed together and then dumped the liquid in their mouths.
They were about to have another round until they heard a lovely voice come from the stage to their right.
(This song is by: Evanescence Song: Somebody Like You)
There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known.
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done.
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do.
I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you.
Serena sang the first part, she sounded and looked like an angel from heaven was singing the world to sleep with her lullaby. Everyone stopped what they were doing .
"Wow, she's beautiful, and her voice…wow!" Andrew uttered to his partner
"Yeah…I…know…" Darien then uttered
'Wait a minute, those eyes….AAHHHHHH….THAT'S SERENA! What the hell is she doing here!' Darien thought
He then began to reach for his gun and noticed that Andrew was looking at him. He stopped and looked up at Andrew with pleading eyes.
"I take it that Serena…huh?" Asked Andrew
"Andrew, come on, theres no other perfect chance then to capture her right now right here, we'll get our reward and get on with our lives." Darien pleaded
"Remember our promise, this is a vacation! You swore! And besides she doesn't seem like shes being a bad girl taday anyway. All shes doing is singing and danci---woo…helllooo precious!" Andrew looked up at the stage with dreamy eyes to see a girl singing the next verse! She was almost identical to Serena but she wore her hair down and to Andrew she was the true Angel of the show.
An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays.
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made.
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you.
"Fine, but you owe me for this…" Darien said in an annoyed manner
"So whos this one" Andrew said pointing to the girl on stage
"Oh that, that's Mina The Mafia Maid, careful she's known for breaking men's hearts! They also say she can't be tamed, but of course so is Serena, She the true flame that can't be tamed!" Darien muttered while looking at Serena on stage singing and dancing
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do...
I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast.
I'd take one step forward and two steps back.
Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you.
"You wanna know what I think? I think you got eyes for Serena!" Andrew slyly said
"Is it that noticeable?" Asked Darien
"Well…to me it is but to everyone else I doubt it!" Andrew replied
'Oh well he is my best friend, it's okay if he knows my secret' Thought Darien
'Holy shit Mina is beautiful, I want her…'Andrew dreamily thought to himself
They 2 guys both watched in awe at the 2 girls performing and they noticed that the girls were almost communicating to each other in a sly way. This puzzled Darien.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SERENA AND MINA'S POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Oh my god, I can't believe it, Darien's actually here, shit what am I gonna do! I know he'll cause a seen just to get what he wants! Shit' Serena thought
Serena started to dance and keep eye contact with Mina and soon after she started she had eye contact with Mina. She was basically trying to tell her to look into the audience and look at a certain table. Mina noticed this and then she say Serena dance a certain way, Serena moved 2 steps to the left and 3 steps back and then brought her hands up to her eyes which meant look. So Mina looked 2 tables to the left and the 3 tables back while she was dancing and singing. She say a Dirty blonde haired blue eyed man sitting with a handsome dark haired man.
She then looked at serena and gave her a look that meant, 'Is that him'
And Serena nodded her head!
Whoa here we go now baby!
Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
Well, baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do.
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand,
But you're teachin' me to be a better man.
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.
I'm ready to love somebody,
Love somebody like you
. Oooh. An' I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you, yeah.
Serena and Mina were almost done with the song, and each time she say Darien move she almost had to strangle herself to keep from reaching her Derringer.
An' I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you, yeah.
Oh yeah. Oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night,
Shinin' like it's true.
I wanna be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it's way
Wanna be a better man I see it in you yeah...
The song was finally over with and Serena and Mina took their bow and left the stage in under a second.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NORMAL POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I can't believe how hot that guy was, his eyes are a sparkly turquoise! Wow and dark haired fella, Serena's perfect match…' Mina thought to herself as her and Serena changed into their normal clothes.
Soon after they were done changing Lita and the rest of the girls ran into the changing room and Lita almost screamed when she said…
"HOLY SHIT SERENA, DARIEN'S HERE! What are we gonna do?"
'What are we gonna do?' Lita thought in a panic way
"Calm down Lita, if he was gonna make a scene he would have already done it by now, there's a large bounty on all of heads. It's obvious that he's maybe taking a brake!" Amy reassured Lita
"Ames is right, lets just calm done and get on with our lives like nothings happened, in fact lets pretend that their not even there and if they talk to us just talk back ya know?" Serena calmly said
"Well we'll see how this works out, but if things go wrong I'm taking this into my own hands Serena!" Raye ordered
'When will she ever face the fact that I could be right sometimes?' Serena reckoned
The girls causally walked into the bar area and sat down at a table. Molly came by and took their order and then soon after sat down with all of them to chat about what's been going on.
After about two hours of chatting Serena got up and as she was about to leave Amy asked
"Serena where are you going?"
'Now what is she doing' Amy thought
"Oh Ames, I'm really tiered so I'm gonna go to the hotel and hit the hey!" She replied
"Okay we'll leave in a couple of hours. We might go see Setsuna and Hotaru afterwards." Mina said
"Alright goodnight ya'll!" Serena waved to her fellow companions.
In the meantime Darien and Andrew we're talking about something (whatever it is that guys talk about), Darien say Serena walk by him and she gave him a look that sent chills up his back and then she was gone.
"Say Andrew I'm gonna go to the hotel and sleep the rest of the night alright?" Darien said
"Okay, I'm gonna pick round here and maybe see if I cam get to know our 'ribals'." He said
"Andrew…don't get close!"
"What are you talking 'bout I won… come on this is strictly perfessonal."
"You mean professional. Man you are seriously drunk!"
"I swear to drunk I am not god!" Andrew said in a funny voice
"whatever, don't get into trouble!" With that Darien was gone,
Andrew walked over to the girl's table, somewhat tripping on his way over and kindly asked
"Hey gals, mind if I join ya?"
All 5 girls started to giggle, they were all very well aware that he was drunk and he had no clue what he was doing.
'Hmmm….he's drunk I wonder if we can get some information out of him?' Thought Amy
"Why not, bye the way whats your name?" Amy then asked the drunken stranger
Andrew sat down and all the girls introduced each other. They started to talk about the performance that Mina and Serena put on and then all the girls tried to get poor Andrew even more drunk. Unfortunately he kept drinking…and …drinking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OUTSIDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena sat down on the steps of the bar that she had just walked out of, she gave on long sigh and then gazed into the starry night.
Darien walked outside and noticed Serena staring up at the stars.
'Should I say something, or just leave ? Maybe I…well…umm… what do I say…think Darien, think dammitt!!' His thoughts were interrupted by a quiet voice.
"Don't just stand their and think about what to say to me! Have a seat!" Serena said turning her head towards him.
"Nice night huh?" He questioned
Darien walked over to her and sat down right next to her. His shoulders brushed up against her bare arms and he could feel that she got goose bumps when he did this.
'Oh great, why did I have to open my mouth, he could have been gone by now!' She regrettably thought
"So…why are you an outlaw?" Darien asked
'Oh yeah, perfect question Darien, that was smooth!' He said sarcastically to himself
"I was once told that the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say I cannot! And everyone said that I couldn't take after my Mother Irene and be a famous outlaw like her."
'So her mother was the infamous Irene' He considered
"But it's a mistake, all you do are mistakes after another, and it's dangerous."
'Is that what he really thinks?' Serena supposed
"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." (AN: this is a famous quote, I don't know who said it but it wasn't me, I like it!!)
"Being an outlaw is not the only thing you can accomplish in life, there's a hell of lot more to it!"
"You're a very strange person, and you ask strange questions."
"Well what can I say, it's not everyday you have a conversation with an outlaw who doesn't have guns pointing at your head *giggles* ."
"Yeah, I guess your right *giggles*! Which reminds me, how come your not, well you know, trying to capture me or something like that?" She asked
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's all for now, what is he gonna say to answer her question, what will the girls get out of Andrew while he's drunk? Well wait for the next chapter and plz, plz review!!!
Thx
