Hey Guys, I'm finally back from my summer Vacation. Thank you to everyone who has been so patient in waiting for this next chapter.
To everyone that reviewed, thank you sooo much! I really appreciate it and I Love getting reviews! Hey, can you blame me? Who doesn't?
Well enough Chit Chat... On with the story...Serena's Prov
The Next morning us five girls had gone to the salon to go get our hair and makeup done. It was true that we were all attractive young teenagers, but we waned to look really special to attract all the guy's attentions.
We sat side by side each other as we each were getting our hair done. "Ooooh... I can't wait to see Andrews face when he sees my new hairstyle!"
I turned to Mina and smiled evilly. "Aha! So you admit it, you do have a thing for Andrew"
The rest of us grinned in union as Mina rolled her eyes skyward. "Oh come on guys, its not like I have been very discrete about it. I practically drool all over his nice clean floor every time I go to the Arcade"
I giggled. Everyone knew that Mina and Andrew had a thing for each other, but both were too shy to take action upon their feelings. 'Oh... I hope Darien likes my new hairstyle. At least now he can't call me Meatball Head'
"Hey Ser, I didn't get to mention this to you yesterday. But I thought the way you dumped your milkshake on Darien yesterday at the Arcade really put him in his place!" Lita said highfiving me.
I smirked proudly. "I do have to admit, Darien did kind of deserve it after stating that no guy would ever be willing to go out with you because if your klutziness, bad eating habits, your screaming, and-"
"I get the point AMY!" I yelled annoyed. "Sorry..." It was apparent she was trying to hold in her laugh. I rolled my eyes, as my thoughts drifted off to the egoistical pompous.
The image of Darien and me kissing popped up in my head. I shook my head vigorously to get rid of it.
'What am I thinking, me and Darien? Hah! That'll be the day.' I noticed that my hair wasn't being dealt with and everything seemed quiet all of a sudden. I looked up to see a frustrated hairstylist frowning with crossed arms and tapping her foot on the floor. I couldn't help but blush at my stupidity. "Heh heh... Sorry" She shook her head and proceeded to work her magic into turning me from the ugly duckling to a swan.Three Hours Later
We were on our way to the Arcade and were just a few meters away when we had noticed a line up leading inside. We couldn't believe it, were all those guys there just for us?
Bright smiles were plastered on all of our faces, even Ami's. As we entered the Arcade; clapping, cheering, and whistling began. We blushed and watched as Mina and Lita took a bow.
We stopped dead in our tracks when we had seen what was on the actual 'Arcade' side of the Arcade. "Did Andrew really..."
"He did..." Raye answered before Ami could even fully ask her question. "WOW!!" all of us cried.
We ran to the man himself and each one of us gave him a big hug. He rubbed the back of his neck blushing. "Aw, you girls know id do almost anything for you"
"Right...He means he would do almost anything for Mina" Raye whispered as she nudged me. Mina gave us a death glare that put an end to our snickers.
Andrew was truly a sweet man that you could count on. 'Nothing like Darien...' I thought sadly.But that's not the point! I mentally kicked myself for once again thinking of the Jerk.
The future inheritor of one of the most popular Arcades in Tokyo had kindly, without the consent of his father (otherwise he would have been a dead man by now) closed the actual 'Arcade' section of the Arcade for the day and had put up our booth in front of all the machines.
He thought of everything. There was one long booth that had five seats side by side each other. At the top of the booth was written, '5 dollars for 5 kisses on the cheek' and '40 dollars for one kiss on the lips'.
Heck, we knew the prices were high, but we were all so confident with the way we looked that we knew the men of Tokyo were willing to pay that much just to be kissed on the cheek.
Then there was kissing on the lips... now that was a different story. 40 dollars was expensive, but we didn't want to take the chance of lowering the price and having more people paying for a kiss on the lips. Who knows what kind of nasty mouths we would have encountered with?
We proceeded to take our places at the booth and began to receive the customers.
2 hours later
Two whole hours had gone by since we had started this morning. 'The stupid baka still isn't here yet! Normally he's here around lunch time... I'm getting tired of waiting for him"
I tried my best to stop thinking about the jerk, but every time someone new came in through the doors I couldn't help but to check if it was him or not.
"Waiting for someone in particular Serena?" I turned to Raye and sighed.
"No, just making sure that my brother or one of his friends doesn't walk through the door heh heh... cause you know what big squealers they are..."
'Please let her buy it! Please!!' I prayed silently. She smiled at me warmly and patted my back, which was something Raye rarely ever did. "Don't worry, he'll be here soon" she said reassuringly.'Damn Raye and her psychicness and crap...'
Darien's Prov
"Ah! I need my coffee!" Banging his head on the table, he couldn't help but think of certain blond who had started haunting his thoughts ever since the first day he had met her.
'So then why don't you just go to the Arcade and go get your nice, rich, hot, soothing coffee?' His conscience teased.
"Because SHES there... not only is she there doing her normal chatting and giggling, but she's there kissing other guys!" His blood boiled at the thought.
'You should be the one over there kissing her...'
"You're right; I should be the one- WAIT! Since when do I care who Meatball Head kisses or doesn't kiss?"
'Umm... Since you fell in love with her like way back ago! Duh'"Me? In love with Meatball Head? That's the most absurd thing I have ever heard! What do you know anyways?" He growled.
'Your right... What do I know anyways? I'm ONLY your conscience speaking!' If conscience had a body, he would be rolling his eyes right about now.
"I can't believe I'm talking to my self... I must really need my coffee. That's it; I'm going to the Arcade and well... If I see any guy touch Serena inappropriately (or at all) I'll just have to beat the shit out of them"
Smiling proudly, he grabbed his keys, checked his appearance in the mirror quickly and left to the Arcade.
On his way to the Arcade not only did he notice almost hundreds of flyers posted everywhere, advertising the girl's booth, but he also noticed the long line up leading to inside the Arcade.
He made his way through the people and took a seat at the counter. He looked to where the line was heading to see if he could get a glimpse of his Meatball Head. And he did, except she wasn't a Meatball Head anymore.
He couldn't believe his eyes. "Is that...Ser-Serena?" There she was, sitting on a stool behind a booth flirting and giggling away with some guy who looked twice her age. But then again, she also looked twice her age.
Her hair was not in its traditional Meatballs, but instead was flowing down and had appeared to be crimped full length. It suited her; it made her look womanlier then teenager. But he still preferred the Meatballs.
He also noticed that she had the slightest bit of makeup on which enhanced her natural beauty. Before him was an Angel, an Angel which he now new he was for sure in love with.
"Damn all those bastards who are kissing her... I swear I'll kill them all" I whispered as not to be heard. But of course, with Andrew around I should have known better.
"Whoa Dare, calm down. I know your jealous and all, but there's no need to break the mug that's in your hand!"
I let go of the mug. I hadn't even noticed how hard I was gripping it. "Sorry Drew..." I muttered.
"Hey, don't worry about it. Love can cause a man to do crazy things. And I'm not just talking about the mug. I'm talking about... Well how do I say this...? "Killing all those damn bastards who are kissing Serena"" He said grinning.
"Shut up" I growled.
"There there Darien... We all know how you feel about Serena. Love... it happens to everyone sooner or later" He said patting my back.
"Your nuts Drew, who says I'm in love with Serena? True, I may be attracted to her. But hell, look at her, who wouldn't be?" I proceeded to stare at her freely. She then turned her attention to me. For about a second or two our eyes had locked, but I quickly turned away.
'Come on Dare, keep it together, otherwise she's going to know something's up'"Denial...Denial..." Andrew muttered as he walked away serve another customer.
Serena's Prov
Standing right in front of me was one of the cutest guys from school. Jake hishiromi. It was apparent that he hadn't recognized me. 'I'm sure if he did... he wouldn't be flirting with me right now'
I felt like one of the luckiest girls in the world. "Id feel even luckier if it was Darien..." I sighed. "What was that?" he asked me confusedly.
Looking up I said, "Oh... nothing. I was just saying how I'm so lucky to have one of the hottest guys from school standing in front of me"
"You got that right; except for the part where you said "One of the hottest guys" I am the hottest guy from school" He said, putting on his sexiest smile. But once again, I couldn't help but compare him to Darien.
"Darien has an even sexier smile... you egoistical jackass" I mumbled. "What?" he asked once again.
"Uh...nothing, NEXT!" I yelled as I pushed Jake aside towards Raye. He was really starting to get on my nerves.
As the next guy approached me I looked up but not at the guy. Right over there, at the counter on a stool was Darien. My heart was beating like a washing machine, not just because he had finally arrived. But because he was there starting at me.
He looked like as if he was ready to kill. Not just anybody, but maybe all the guys who were in the line up? 'Is it possible that Darien's jealous? Na... keep dreaming Ser' I told my self.
I felt my self starting to go weak as our eyes locked for about two seconds. He then quickly turned back around and proceeded to talk to Andrew.
After what seemed like the longest two minutes of my life, I noticed him getting up and heading my way. My heart was beating even faster as I tried my best not to stare at him. He walked right behind me, placing an arm around my shoulders with his head right beside mine.
"Having a good time Ser?" He whispered. I shivered as I felt his hot breath on my ear. "And if I am?" I replied, smiling contently. 'You can do this Serena, just keep it cool..."
Grinning he said, "Well then, will just have to do something about that, now wont we?" He then proceeded to lower his head down and pecked me on the cheek. I could feel my self burning up. My heart beating faster with every second that went by.
Now he was squatting on the floor and looking up at me. "I believe you owe me 5 dollars for that kiss?" Flashing me one of his infamous grins, his hand was laid out in front of me as if he was really expecting the money.
"Keep dreaming Baka..." I said, innocently smiling at him. His hand then rose to my cheek caressing it ever so softly. "Maybe next time..." He said softly.
He got up and started to walk away but then all of a sudden stopped. Turning around he said, "Then your going to have to owe me 40 dollars" Winking, he turned back around and proceeded to leave the Arcade.
"Wha-what was that...?" I looked around as if expecting answers. The only thing I received was whistles and 'awe's' from the girls.
A/N: End of Chapter! Ok so it's going to be 3 chapters... not 2. Now, I have a feeling that this chapter was MAJORLY boring. I'm sure many of you just skimmed through it. I personally think I'm not a great Author. So, for the last chapter I'm hoping to write it out and maybe if any of you are willing to edit it for me? That would be real great and helpful! But anyways, R&R please! It means sooo much to me! And if any of you have the time, Id love to have an editor for the last chapter! Thanks for reading! =)
