Ahhhh...What time is it? Darien wondered stretching his arms. "Ouch!" Serena winced in pain. Darien turned around. "Oops. Sorry Rena. I forgot you spent the night here." He laughed. "Its fine she said rubbing her head. "So...Darien, what are you doing today?" She asked. "Um... I don't know. My friend Andrew is supposed to come down for the week. She I guess I won't go too far, but I really need to catch up with my high school friends." He said. "That sounds nice. Is it the same Andrew who lent you that movie?" She said pointing at the VCR, where the film was.
Darien laughed at this. "Yeah that's him. But he's kind of doing something illegal at the moment." He said getting out of bed. "And what would that be?" She asked sitting up.
"He's dating a girl your age. He met her in Boston, when he went to visit his family. It's his cousin. But he told me not to tell anyone. There trying to keep it a secret. They really do love each other though. I've never seen anyone car about so much. You can tell by the way they look at each other. "
He said fixing his hair. "What about you Dare? Are you dating anyone yet?" She asked him. "Nope. There's no one I'm really interested in. You know me; I don't like to get involved unless I know it's the right person. I don't want to waste my time on someone while knowing it won't last." He tried explaining to her.
"I understand" She said. "What about you little Rena... do you have a boyfriend yet?" He asked jumping on the bed. "Nope...I guess I'm like you. Waiting for the right person to come along." She said. Darien just smiled. His sister was turning into an amazing women. "Well Rena, how about breakfast?" Darien suggested. Serena nodded, getting out of the bed. "Maybe I can get mom to make us pancakes!" Serena said walking out of the room. "Yeah that would be great. Listen Rena, I'll be right allow I just got to do a few things first." He told her before she went up the stairs. "Alright" she said walking up.
"Mom!" Serena asked. "Yes Serena?" Gaia asked, walking into the living room, where Serena was calling her mom from. "Can you make Darien and I pancakes for breakfast." She asked politely. Gaia smiled and nodded. "I'll be right on it." She said before walking into the kitchen. Serena smiled, and decided to take a shower before eating.

"No. Don't worry. I haven't told anyone. Andrew...would I lie to you. I know how much Raye means to you. Yeah sure. I can meet you and Raye at 2. You want me to pretend to be with Raye...while I find someone you can pretend to be with? Andrew...that sounds a little odd. Fine...fine...but how am I supposed to find someone who ...never mind I know the perfect girl. Okay see you then. Bye" Darien hung up his cell. Darien had the perfect girl to pretend to be his best friend's girl...but how was he going to convince her? Please do this for me! Please! He thought, walking upstairs.

"Yum!!! Mom that smells soooo good! Pancakes are my favorite you know!" Darien told him mom while smelling the fresh pancakes already made. "Don't worry I know, I know." Gaia said smiling. "Can you get Serena...I just heard the water go off a few minutes ago. Tell her breakfast is ready." She asked him while flipping another pancake. "Sure" He said running upstairs.
When he got to her door, he heard he singing. Wow Rena...never knew you could sing. He was surprised. From what he remembered when he left for University she was the shy girl. She never really liked to be center of attention. Darien decided to just surprise her. So he didn't bother to knock. "BOOO!" He screams while opening the door.
Serena was shocked. "DARIEN!! I'M TRYING TO CHANGE" She yelled taking a towel and wrapping her self. She never felt so embarrassed. "Oh god...Rena...I'm really sorry...I just thought..."He tried to explain. "I don't care what you wanted to do. I'll be haunted for the rest of my life...knowing that my older brother just saw me naked." She said freaking out. Serena was so insecure. I hope he doesn't make fun of me? What will I do? "Serena calm down. It's no big deal. It's not like I've never seen you naked before..." "That was before I had these!" She told him pointing at her breast.
"Okay...okay...I get it. I'll leave and let you get dressed...but you and I are going to have one serious talk after breakfast. By the way...I came here to let you know it's ready. Come down and eat!" He said closing the door behind him. Serena walked to the door and locked it. She then walked over to her mirror, and took off her towel. She started gazing at herself. Why do I have to be ugly? Know I probably scared him away. It was hard enough to make him see me more as a sister...but know...grrr. She looked away quicklyShe quickly changed and went to the kitchen.
"So. Serena. Darien tells me he accidentally saw you naked?" Her mom started laughing. Serena looked at Darien with a dirty look and stormed off. She herd her mother in the background telling her she was only kidding. Serena didn't care. She wanted to get out of the house and NOW!
As soon as Serena left the house, Darien was really worried about his little sister. He had to find her and clear things up. And because he really needed her, so she can pretend to be Andrews's girlfriend for the day.
"Thanks mom, for breakfast and everything but I got to go" He said kissing his mother's cheek. "Will you be home for dinner?" Gaia asked. Darien said no, and then left.

Darien had a feeling he knew where she went. Every time they where younger...well before he went off to college, he would find Serena sitting near the pond in the forest throwing rocks in the water.
When he got there...yep...there was his little princess. Princess? Where did that come from? He tried to get a little closer so he could hear what she was saying.
"What's wrong with me? Why can't he love me? I know its wrong...but I've never felt this way about no one... before. I would do anything... for him to realize... I'm not a little kid anymore. But...mom and dad... would be so disappointed in me...but love should always prevail. No matter what...love always wins" She said in between cries.
"Serena...who ever this boy is...He would be stupid not to notice how beautiful you are...and I'm pretty sure he knows you're not a kid anymore." Darien said walking behind her.
"Do you really think so?" He asked
"You bet. But why would mom and dad be disappointed? You could never disappoint them. They love you. I love you too. We will always be there." He tried to cheer her up.
"You don't understand! The man I love doesn't love me the way I want him too. He thinks of me as...as...like a little sister." She whimpered.
"Don't worry about it...he probably wants you think that. He probably thinks it's the only way he could get closer to you" He said. "Hey I was just going out to see my friend Andrew...you want to come?" He asked.
Serena nodded. Maybe spending more time with him...will help.
In the car, Darien decided this would be a great time to ask for the favor. "Um...Serena, do you think you can do me a favor?" He asked.
"Sure"
"Well, Andrew called me and asked me to find him some one to pretend to be his date...and I thought you would be perfect considering I already told you about him and his cousin Raye...the one he just met. He wants to go out in public with her...but..." He started
"Sure...but you owe me!" She cut him off.
"I know...I know."
