Hey, Thanks soooo much for the reviews so far, those are the only things that are really keeping me writing this story. This is what I've got so far with the couples:

Ami/Greg, Serena and Darien (This story is centered around Serena and Darien), Raye/Chad, Lita/Ken, Let me know who you want to be with Mina. Or The Generals. *You vote and let me know whom you want with who and also let me know if you think I should start putting in Darien's POV?!? Let me know. Okay ~_* Well on with the Story

Love and Racing Not a Good Combination Chapter: 5

^Serena's POV^ *God, why does he have to bring out all of the emotions that I have been trying to lock up for so long. I am not going to let my self get hurt, again, as I did with Dylan!! I need to stop thinking about this so I can focus on this race!!! *

Serena changes c.ds, blast the music and grips the steering wheel determinedly. "Serena, you're racing, Chad, Andrew (again for some reason, I don't know why, but you are) and Ken" Lita says as she screams over the loud music of GodSmack. "Thanks Lita. How did Andrew make it this far? Did he race like 5 extra races to make it?!" Serena said laughing at the thought. "Actually, ladies, I did." came a gentle yet firm guy voice over their communication pieces. "How-How did you get onto our frequency?!! This is a private one, which nobody can get on!" Serena yelled louder than her own music, which is still blasting. "I don't know. I was bored while waiting for this race to begin, so I started messing with the dial on my own communicator and over heard you ladies talking about the races." the voice said calmly. "Well, that being the case, GET OFF OUR FRECQUENCY!" Serena yelled and this time her music was turned down very low, so that her voice was all you heard. "Why? Are talking about what little trick you're going to use to win this race, Serena?!" he asked curiously. "Lita! Get Jade over to me, /please/!!!" Serena demanded, steam coming from her ears, if that was possible. "Don't go ANYWHERE, /Andrew/!" Serena said through seething teeth.

*Why do people do this to me!? They keep pushing me more and more everytime I'm not in the mood!!! *

"What's wrong Serena?!" came Jade's soothing and caring voice. "Jade, there's somebody on our frequency and he won't get off, and what's worst is that it's Andrew Hillson." Serena said in a whining tone. ~Laughing a little~ "Which car is he in, Sere?" he asked with a slight grin on his face. "His in that Yellow and Orange one that has that crown on the back bumper." Serena said pointing to the car in front of her. "Okay, I'll fix it. Don't worry Sere." he said and walked over to the car.

"Hopefully Jade will do something about this!" Serena said and slumped into her seat. "Don't worry girl, when had Jade every let you or any of us down before?" Lita asked. "True" Serena said claming down a bit. "Since the race isn't going to start for 10 minutes or so. I'm going for a ride. I'll be back in plenty of time. See you later." Serena said and then clicked off communication and just blasted out onto the highway strip heading toward the opposite way.

^Raye's POV^ *What the hell is going on now!? Why is that Darien is all of a sudden on the tip of his feet when his around Serena? Serena can be intimidating and all but she's not that intimidating!*

Raye sat pondering while everybody else where walking, carrying on useless conversations, and whatever else people where doing.

"Raye!" somebody shouted in her ear. "Uh...Um...Yea?" she said rubbing her ear, where someone had screamed in it. "What's that matter?" Darien asked with a frown on his face. "Nothing, just thinking." she said still rubbing her ear, slightly. "Okay," he said seating down beside her. "Darien?" she said turning around and facing him. "Yea?" he said. "What is going on between you and Serena?" she asked the one question that has been bugging her since this morning. "Umm...nothing really. At least I think it's nothing. I mean Raye, everytime I'm around her, she gets all defensive." Darien said staring straight into her eyes.

*His telling the truth. Then I guess it's all about Serena then.*

"Do you like her?" Raye asked before she went any further with her thoughts. "Depends on what you mean by like." he said bluntly. "Well, do you like her as a friend, or do you like her as in love her." she said plainly. "I don't know. I have feelings for her and there more than friendship feelings, but I don't want to say there love feelings either." he told her and looked away. "Where is Serena going?!" Darien said standing up suddenly.

*God, this is going to be more complicated than I thought. Darien likes her, but more than friendship, but not quiet loves her either /he thinks/ and Serena is so clamped shut, and so restless.*

^Serena's POV^ *Why does everybody like getting on my nerves, and to day of all days!! * Serena shouted to herself as she started doing impossibly risky and dangerous swerves at break necking speed.

"I wish Sammy was here." She says to herself quietly as she slowed down a bit.

*This is ridiculous! Why am I letting this shit get to me?! I've let anything get to me. Not when my parents died, when I broke up with Dylan, or anything else!* she said scowling herself. She heads back to the racing areas and parks her car in her normal place with a few minutes to spare.

*I better recheck under the hood, after those stunts I was pulling.* she said to herself as she got out her car and began to put on her gloves and popped her hood.

"Serena, where did you go?" came one of the last voices she wanted to hear at the moment. Turning around with a fake smile plastered on her face. "I just went to clear my head." She said plainly, as she began to mess around with stuff under her hood. "What's wrong?' Darien asked as he came closer. "Nothings wrong, Darien. I've just got some stuff on my mind and I help vent my frustration and anger out by doing my own thing. If you have a problem with that, then o well deal." She said through tight teeth, and then abruptly turned around and went under the car and started to mess with the oil. "Okay, what's on your mind." He asked with a worried voice, but a calm face. "Nothing that I want to tell you about, so please stop bugging me so I can go back to my thoughts." She said as she pulled something lose. "Serena, I'm just trying to help. I don't want you to be angry or frustrated, especially before you race." He said bending down so he could hear her reply. "Darien, I am not about to tell you want I'm thinking, and foremost I don't appreciate you prying into my head or life for that matter, also is this the only reason you've taken 'interest' in me is because I can race really good?!" Serena said trying to hold back tears.

*I'm not about to show him that I am weak, let alone tell him that half of my problems are about him!* she thought to herself as she fought back the hot water that was threating to spill over her eyes.

"Serena, I don't mean to pry into anything. I also didn't just take an 'interest' in you just because you can race. I took an 'interest' in you because yes, you can race very well, but also because I like you." Darien said as he pulled her out from underneath her car.

"Darien, please leave, I need to finish cleaning up my car." Serena said as she looked dead into his eyes.

*He really does mean that he like me, but I can't let him into my heart. I'll just get hurt once again. I've already suffered to many losses.* she said to herself as she watched Darien's retreating back. *He does have a nice ass though, I do have to give the guy that much.* she said with a slight smirk on her face.

She pushed herself back underneath her car and began to finish cleaning out the sand and gravel that has gotten caught underneath.

"Serena, it's time for you to get out there." Mina says bouncing over to her a little while later. "Okay, Mina." Serena says pushing herself out from under the hood, and stood up. "Girl, you need a shower." Mina said with a gaping mouth. "I know, but I'm wanted by my adoring fans." Serena said with a slight giggle at the thought of people really cheering for her.

Serena whose covered in sweat, sand, rocks, a little bit of grease and oil, gets into her car and drives up to the finish line, once again for that day.

Hey, I'm leaving it off and I know it's prob a short Chapter and kinda stupid, but I needed someway to introduce the possible other guys for the girls and I also needed some way for Serena to know that Darien does like her. Also, let me know if I SHOULD put Darien's POV in here or not, and if it should be either the Generals or Greg &Guys. Please Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
