So ON WITH ZEE GLORIOUS CHAPTER 5!
Life is But a Game --- Chapter 5
On the way to the temple...Darien and his stalker...
Darien followed the two, hiding behind shrubbery all the while. The guy that followed HIM was extremely amused by this, the blondes were yacking their heads off, they would never have noticed Darien sneaking behind. Besides his odd behaviour was actually ATTRACTING attention. *sigh* he's not much of a spy...maybe I should just end this. The guy smirked.
Back to Serena and Mina...
"Hey Mina... Let's take a stop at the arcade first!"
"What??? No we're going right to the temple!"
"Aww come on, if I'm gonna die at that temple, at least lemme finish my game!"
"How many times do I have to tell you that Rei is NICE!?! You just don't want to go!"
"Pleaseeeeeee??? I want to finish my game first!" In fact, Serena really didn't want to to go that temple but whether it because she was afraid that the temple's reputation was true or because she did not want Seiya to turn out to be a ghost, only she would know.
In the end Serena and Mina took a detour to the arcade (Serena had won by saying Mina should really go visit Andrew, a very convincing argument indeed).
Darien was following close behind and finally stopped near the front of the arcade doors. I thought they were going to the temple. His follower noticing his target had stopped decided to run up to Darien, "Dude! What the heck do you think your doing?" he put his hand firmly on Darien's shoulder.
At the touch of his friend's hand, Darien jumped knocking over some garbage bags he was crouching behind. He had been so absorbed in his stalking daze, he didn't notice someone was following him too! Nor, did he notice the green garbage goo on his shirt but that is probably due to the fact that he was wearing his ugly Earth Shirt. "What are YOU doing here?! Don't go around scaring people like that!" He quickly slapped Fiore's hand away.
"Haha! What do u think? I'm obviously trying to stop you from stalking those poor gir..." Fiore purposedly said this as loudly as he could.
Darien quickly slapped his hands over Fiore's gigantic mouth, "SHH! Oh my god I have no idea what you are talking about!" His eyes shifted around checking to see if anyone else heard.
"Geez, if you like the girl just tell her!" Fiore mumbled while trying to pry Darien's hands off.
"Arg! I would if I could but she hates my guts and what would the others say if they saw me with her!? She's a clutz!"
"You are so shallow man! You disgust me!"
"Hey! If I didn't have friends like you, I would have asked her out ages ago!"
"Well then, let me fix that!" With that, Fiore grabbed Darien by the collar and dragged him into the arcade.
In the good old, creepy, gloomy Fortress thingy...
The knight entered a little shop rumoured to have the best potions in the land. A little old lady was sitting at the counter with walls lined with bottles behind her.
"I would like a hmmm...that that and that..."
The lady cackled as she counted the gold pieces the knight gave her. She promptly handed over the potions.
The knight put the potions safely into his multi-purpose, never-tear, everyone-should-get-one pack, ran out the door and jumped into the nearest lake...
In the arcade...
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", Serena shrieked. She turned around face the fools who knocked her joystick arm. "WHY U LITTLE..."
The people facing her weren't little at all, in fact they had more than a few inches over her. "Hey Serena!" Fiore smiled, his winning smile.
Too bad it was wasted on Serena, "GRRRRR! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!"
Mina quickly popped in between them, "HI!" She grabbed the surprised Fiore's hand, "I'm Mina!" She smiled her cheesy smile and continued to talk at a unrelenting pace.
While Fiore was desparately trying to extract himself from Mina's death grip, Serena continued to give Darien cut-eye. Darien staring into Serena's huge and very angry eyes... blushed?
Rubbing the back of his neck with his hand, Darien sheepishly said, "Uh...hey." Serena only looked angrier.
"WILL YOU LET GO ALREADY?!?" Fiore ripped his arm away, fell back, and crashed into Darien.
Serena couldn't help the bubbling feeling inside. She bursted out laughing, "AHHAHA WHO'S THE CLUTZ NOW?? WAHHA! OMG MINA! Let's go before I die laughing. WAHHAHA. Breathe Serena breathe! Ahahhaha!" She dragged the unwilling Mina out the door. "Come on! You wanted to go to the temple right?"
"But, but Fiore!" Mina looked longingly through the closing glass doors.
Darien recovering from shock pushed Fiore off. "Look at what you did! Good job man!"
"Ouch that hurt!" Fiore started to brush himself off. "You didn't want to confess right? So you got your wish! And man! YOU STINK!!!"
"Well uh...what do you mean I stink???"
"Haha nevermind, so u did want to tell her... come on then! Let's follow them." He started to push Darien out the door.
"What? No!" But he let Fiore drag him out to the streets where Serena was literally carrying Mina.
Mina seeing Fiore stood up immediately. Fiore seeing Mina tried to run. Too bad he was once again too slow.
"Ahhhhh! Fiore!" Mina looked lovingly up into his eyes and latched onto this arm.
"Grrr..." Fiore took a deep breath. Come on dude, girls do this to you all the time. Just maybe not such crazy ones. "I hear you girls going to the temple. Did you guys hear about the stories? That place is dangerous! You need chaperones." He smiled congratulating himself for his brilliant idea. Too bad Mina thought he was smiling at her...
Darien hearing this wanted to butt in and stop this maddness. What was he thinking letting Fiore get himself into this mess? Was he that obvious when it came to Serena? How came she never seemed to notice? Before he could think of an excuse though, Serena jumped in, "What? NO! You guys can go home now. Me and Mina will be fine thanks. She..."
"Awww. We'd love to have you come along. That place is scary. You guys are so great." Mina proceeded tug on Fiore's arm even harder.
"But you're the one that said..." Serena didn't get to finish.
"Serena! We NEED them here! Now let's go!" Mina grabbed Serena with her other arm and started marching towards the temple. Darien followed behind the three with his arms in his pockets. Fiore flashed Darien painful looks once in a while. He couldn't feel his fingers anymore. Serena was actually very confused as to what was going on. But Mina seem to be having fun. What could she do? So the four of them headed towards the sinking sun. The temple loomed ahead of them.
*gasp* I don't have any questions to ask lol. Wait wait here's one:
When will they get to the temple?
K, I just give up o_O
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.
