Friends First-Chapter 2-
Rei walked into the entrance hall to see a young, blonde woman with long pigtails standing in the hallway. From what she could see, the woman had on a hideous dress that did not match her at all. She came to the conclusion that the woman had no fashion sense, and made it her mission to help the woman find suitable clothing.
She walked over to the guest and her smirking brother, and introduced herself.
"Hello. My name is Reina." Rei said with a smile. "But you can call me Rei. I see you've met my dorky brother." Rei said pointing to Darien.
Serena giggled a little. She didn't think Darien looked at all dorky.
"Hello Reina. It's..." But before Serena could finish her sentence, Rei stopped her.
"Please...call me Rei."
"Alright Rei. My name is Serena." Serena replied smiling back. "It's nice to meet you."
"Same here. Now would you like to freshen up before lunch?"
"Oh! I would love that! Thank you!"
"Follow me. I'll show you to your room."
With that, Rei and Serena left Darien standing in the
entrance hall.
Rei walked Serena through several hallways. Pointing out certain rooms such as the kitchen and dining room. While they were walking they started to talk and get to know each other.
"So...what is there to do around here?" Serena asked.
"Well...there's shopping, swimming, clubbing, oh...did I
mention shopping?" Rei replied eyeing Serena's outfit.
Serena caught this, and changed the subject trying to draw attention away from
her clothes.
"Oh...so...what's the story with your brother?" Serena asked trying to sound
nonchalant.
"Well Darien's a doctor.
He studied medicine even though mother wanted him to concentrate on
learning how to rule our country. Why? Are you falling in love with him and planning
on marrying him?" Rei replied mock suspiciously.
"NO!" Serena exclaimed. "I mean he's just another marriage prospect I'm trying
to get rid of." Serena turned red at what she had said. "I didn't mean it that
way. I didn't mean to say that I think
I'm better than him or anything…"
"Don't worry about it. Darien's the
same way. Says his first and only love
will be medicine. He's probably trying to get rid of you too. Gods know he's gotten rid of all the
others. He's always been stubborn and
conceited. But maybe that's just me."
"Oh." Was all Serena said as she let out a sigh of relief; she
hadn't offended the princess.
They climbed up some stairs, and turned.
Rei pointed out more rooms to Serena.
"Those are my parents' chambers." Rei said, pointing to a large half of the hallway. Then walking further down she pointed to some more rooms. "That's my room, and yours is right across the hall from mines." She said smiling. Before Serena had time to thank Rei she saw a sly grin on Rei's face. "Oh..." Rei added, pointing towards the end of the hallway, and looking towards Serena. "And that's Darien's room."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena didn't know why Rei thought she needed to or wanted to know, but she
just nodded her head. Thanking Rei, she
turned towards her door, and went in, immediately spotting a telephone jack to
set up her Internet connection. She
planned to set up her laptop so she could still do business while she was away.
What else was she supposed to do to keep from becoming bored? Serena logged on, and started working.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Darien walked down the hall towards Serena's room. It was time for dinner, and his mother had
asked him to go get her. He stopped in
front of her door, and knocked. He heard a muffled thump, and then a yell from
inside.
"Who is it?" Someone yelled from inside.
"It's me, Darien...remember Serena?" Darien replied.
"Of course I remember." Serena answered while opening a door with a scowl on
her face. She thought he was mocking
her, and he had interrupted her business transactions. "What do you want!?"
Darien didn't understand why she had hostility in her voice. He hadn't done anything to get her
upset...well at least he didn't think he did.
Shrugging, he gave her a reply.
"Dinner is in about 10 minutes. Just
thought I'd let you know, since I assume you're going to be hungry and want
food."
Darien watched as Serena's eyes suddenly widened at the mention of food. He saw Serena start to float off into
dreamland.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena started to daydream at the mention of food. She loved food! She ate mostly sweets, but most foods she liked. She was dreaming about triple chocolate
cakes with big chocolate chips in it when she was suddenly brought back to
reality by snapping fingers. She
scowled and was about to give the person who snapped her out of her wonderful
dream a piece of her mind. But before
she could do it, she felt a hand on her cheek near her lip.
She looked up into the dark blue eyes of the hand's owner. Serena started to wonder what was happening
when she realized she had started to drool during her daydreaming. She became embarrassed, and started to turn
red. She caught a smirk come onto the
prince's lips, and smacked his hand away as she turned around to wipe the drool
off.
When she turned back around she noticed Darien was gone. She looked out her door, and saw a door
close. She turned back into her room
and realized she was relieved. He had
almost caught her without her hideous disguise. She let out a sigh of relief on the thought that he didn't see
her without her ugly disguise, and went to take a shower.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei was just walking out of her room, when she noticed
Serena walking out of her room too. She
ran up to her and hooked her arm into Serena's arm. Serena looked startled, but then smiled.
"Hey Rei. You almost gave me a heart
attack."
"Hehehe...sorry...so...ready for dinner?" Rei asked chuckling a little.
"Yup. Just show me the way."
"Alright..." Rei replied glancing at Serena's ugly gown. 'I really need to take this girl to meet
Mina, and take her shopping' Rei thought to herself.
Rei and Serena started up a conversation that lasted the whole way to the
dining room. They were becoming fast
friends. As they entered Rei went off
towards her seat, while Darien came up to Serena and took her hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dinner was finally over.
She had had to sit next to Darien, which was awkward. Thinking up an excuse, she left dinner early. 'These people can cook and eat!' Serena
thought to herself. She made a note of
where the kitchen was, before retiring to her room.
She had lots of work to do. Changing
into a comfy tank top and shorts, she quickly got started.
Yawning, she noticed that she had loss track of time. She looked up at her clock to see that it
was already 3 a.m. 'Wow...I didn't
notice how much time passed by. Maybe I
should continue tomorrow.' Serena
thought to herself. But decided against
it, and that she'd just sleep in the next day.
Just as she was about to get back to work there was a knock on the door......
