~~~~~~~~~~Raye's POV~~~~~~~~~~~

"They've been in there for a long time" I remarked, breaking the eerie silence that had descended upon us.

"Do ya think everything is all right?" Lita asked.  I looked at Serena who sat there with her arms wrapped around her legs, saying nothing.

"Serena I….."

"Save it Raye" she muttered quietly.  Well, that was a shock.  I mean, no 'Shut up Pyro' or 'you're so mean', nothing.  Glancing  over to Mina and Amy, I noticed that they too looked worried.

"Sorry it took so long ladies" a masculine voice stated, breaking me out of concentration.

"Oh, no problem" I replied as Kunzite took a seat next to Mina.

"Well, are we going to keep on playing or what?" Jedite asked as he looked at our morose faces.

"Hey, did somebody die?"

Glaring evilly at him, he quickly shut up.

"Now whose turn is it?" Nephrite asked.

"It's Sarah's" Lita stated.

"So, who are you going to ask Sarah?" Zoisite questioned.

"I don't feel like playing" Serena muttered quietly.

"What?  Come on Sar, get even with the guys for makin' ya tell!" Lita urged.

"No, it's okay" she replied.  As she looked up for a moment, I thought I caught a hint of laughter in her eye, but she turned her head quickly and I wasn't able to see.

"Maybe we shouldn't play this game anymore" Amy commented quietly.  Looking at her, I saw the worry in her eyes. 

"Yea, I'm kinda tired of this game" Lita agreed.

"Same here" I followed.

"But guys, we just start….OWE!" Mina cried as Amy jabbed her in the rib.

"Hehehe, ignore her" Amy said nervously, slapping her hand over Mina's mouth.

"Well, what do you want to do then?" Kunzite asked.

I looked around.

"I'm going to lie down" Serena said getting up.

"Wait Sarah…." I pleaded, but she just turned and looked at me.

"Don't worry Rachel, I'll be fine, I just need to rest" she smiled.  I knew that smile was fake, but I followed lead and smiled in return.

As soon as she left, we (girls) all turned and glared evilly at Darien.

"*gulp* Something wrong girls?" Darien asked nervously.

"I'll tell you what's wrong" I muttered evilly.

"Rachel, calm yourself!" Amy cried walking over in front of Darien.

"Thanks Amelia" Darien breathed.

*SLAP*

We all gasped in shock as Darien rubbed his now brightly red cheek.

"Amy, I…." Mina muttered in awe.

"He deserved it" Amy finished.

"What did I…"

"You know exactly what you did!" Lita cried, slamming her fist down to prove her point.

"Umm guys, a little help here" Darien pleaded.

"Hey Rachel, how's about you and me talk over one of my famous sandwiches?" Jedite asked.  Before I could respond, I was being dragged towards the kitchen.

~~~~~~~~~~~Serena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~

As I laid in my bed, I slowly let my mind wonder.  Did the girls actually fall for my 'oh I'm so sad' plan?  I was really getting worried for a second because I swear I was going to burst out laughing at any time.

"Sere, you in here?" I heard a voice ask from outside.

"Yea" I replied.  Getting up and opening the door, I came face to face with Darien.  Slowly stepping aside, he entered the room.

"What's going on?" I asked when he didn't say anything at first, I started to get very worried.  The next thing I knew, he was laughing.

"Dare I ask?"

When he finally got a hold of himself, he smiled and looked at me.

"Well this is what the guys have planned…."

~~~~~~~~~Mina's POV~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Michelle, could I talk to you for a second?" Kunzite asked standing up.

"Sure" I replied getting up with him.

"Let's go to your room, it's more private" he suggested.

"Fine by me" I answered as we walked silently to my room.

Upon entering, he led me over to where the bed was.

"Michelle, I know that we haven't known each other for a long time, but I feel like I have a real connection with you" Kunzite stated.  I sat there nodding my head as he continued.

"I've had a lot of fun with you" he grabbed my hand and slowly began to caress it, causing me to gasp.  "And I would like us to be more than friends" he whispered the last part.  Leaning down for a kiss, I quickly backed away.

"Is something wrong?" he asked, looking confused.

"Umm Kunzite, I like ya too and all, but what about your girlfriend?" I asked nervously. Oh please say he didn't forget about me!

"Michelle" he stated.

"Yea?" I asked.

"Is my girlfriend here?"

"No"

"Then she doesn't have to know now, does she?"

I gasped in shock.  Did he really plan on cheating on me?

"Kunzite, I don't know what to say…."

"Don't say anything then" he whispered as I felt cool hands slip underneath my chin.  He leaned forward, letting his other hand slip behind my back.  The next thing I knew…..

~~~~~~~~Lita's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I watched everyone leave, I saw that it was only me and Amy left. 

"Hey Laura, can we talk?" Nephrite asked.

"Did you guys plan this?" I asked.

"No, we just decided that we needed to talk, that's all" Nephrite replied as he led me down the hallway to my room.

"Nephrite, what's going on?" I asked as he pushed me into my room.  The next thing I new, I felt warm lips press against my own.  Too shocked, I didn't do anything at first.  Slowly pulling away, out eyes clashed.

"Laura, I just want to let you know that….."

~~~~~~~~~~Amy's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I started to get worried once Lita and Nephrite left.  I was all alone with Zoisite and he was looking at me funny.

"Is something wrong Zoisite?" I asked concerned.

"What? Oh nothing" he replied nervously.

"Well, sometimes a whole lot of nothing can be a great big something" I replied as I moved to sit closer to him.  "Would you like to talk about it?" I asked.

Sighing, he looked me straight in the eye.

"Amelia, I haven't known you for very long…"

"Yes" I urged.

"But I…" he let his words trail off, but his eyes wondered down to my *ahem* chest.  Blushing a deep shade of crimson, I broke the awkward moment.

"Zoisite, maybe…." but I was cut short as his fingers came to my lips.

"Amelia I…."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Raye's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay Jed, spill" I demanded once we got in the kitchen.

"Well Rachel it's like this" he stated as he began to move closer towards me.  Surprised, I began to move slowly back.

"What do you want?" I asked bravely, sounding more confident than I felt.

"Nothing much" he replied huskily as he advanced even more.  Feeling threatened, I began to back away from him even more.  I ran into something.  Crap! It was the counter.  Refusing to stop his advance, he came up to me until our bodies were pressed against each other.

"You smell sweet" Jedite murmured in my ear, his warm breath tickling my neck.

"Uh-huh" I muttered numbly.  His head slowly descended to my neck and began to kiss it. 

'NO!' I screamed mentally. 

"Rachel, there's something I must tell you about…."

-----------Dun, dun, dun.  I know!! Another short chappie, but my teachers are sooo mean!  They must love homework or something cuz that's all they do!!! Grrr.  Ne ways, PLEASE REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YA THINK!!!!
