The Perfect Prank
Chapter IV. Phone Calls At Three In The Morning
By: Sailor Angie
AN: You all must hate me by now, I severely underestimated the amount of time I'd have to put into my Spanish course, however, Geology and Journalism are a blast. As is Spanish, but there's a lot of homework. Okay, so I'm babbling now. Let's just get to the story right. Oh, and one very important note to MOON ROSE from MADISON! Please e-mail me, I'd love to talk to you. Alright, Read, Review, and as always, ENJOY!

Serena stared at him angrily for only a moment before storming past him and out of the den. She was humiliated.
Darien hadn't meant to embarrass her, but realized that he had made things worse than they had been for any previous house fellow.
Mina approached him, "You have no idea what you've just done." She exited just as her counterpart had earlier.
Darien took a deep breath and began going over rules and procedures with the rest of the girls.
After the meeting had finished he ambled back up the stairs to his room. He calmly stepped over the clear wire that had been taped to the door frame, and could have sworn he heard Serena scowling from down the hall. It was going to be a long semester indeed.
He got Andy on the phone immediately, "It's official, she hates me."
"Way to go buddy." Andy chided.
"She is a force to be reckoned with Andy." Darien admitted.
"Dammit, I wanna meet this girl." Andy shook his head, "Can't I come over?" He pleaded with his friend.
"No." Darien said shortly.
"Why, you get to be -" Andrew was cut off by the loud alarm.
"Oh shit." Darien cursed. "Gotta go Andy," Was all he could manage before he hung up the phone. "C'mon ladies, let's hussle." Darien yelled down the halls. He was sure there was no fire, but evacuated everyone anyways. He started at the third floor checking all the rooms to make sure the girls were out, and worked down from there.
When he came to Serena and Mina's door he found Serena sitting calmly reading through the alarm. Darien grabbed her arm, "Just because you pulled the alarm doesn't mean you get to sit through it."
"Why on earth would I pull a fire alarm?" She struggled to get out of his hold.
"The better question is why wouldn't you?" Darien finally let her go when they were outside and he had made sure that all the girls were there with him.
The fire department arrived momentarily, and after a quick sweep of the building decided that the alarm must have 'malfunctioned,' and told Darien to call maintenance in the morning. Darien nodded and told the girls they could go back inside.
Thinking that the night couldn't get much worse, Darien decided upon returning to his room to go to bed. There was however, one problem. Then he pulled back his covers he found crushed chips scattered along his bed.
Darien pulled off the top blanket which seemed to be untouched and gathered the sheets containing the chips. In only his boxers he knocked calmly on Serena's door. She opened it and smirked at his disheveled appearance. The look faded as he handed her the sheets and walked back to his room, stepping over the wire once more before closing the door.
Serena dropped the sheets outside her door and yelled down the hallway: "This is war Darien Shields!"
Darien rolled his eyes before pulling the covers over himself as he laid on the futon. He tossed and turned, and began to itch all over. Serena had gotten the best of him that night. The hives would take 2 weeks to heal.
****
A month later Serena was still holding strong. His phone rang. . . it was three in the morning. It always rang at three in the morning. He picked it up.
"Is your refridgerator running?" Serena chirped.
"Serena don't you have anything better to do with your time than prank call me every night. Some might suggest sleeping." Darien said drowsily.
Serena hung up the phone and Darien followed suit. But he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep.
He stumbled out of bed and pushed a mouse trap aside with his foot. It activated at this, but he was too quick for it. Darien made a mental note to call an exterminator later as he watched a pack of ants huddled around hone that had been dripped across the floor.
Darien collapsed on the futon and turned on the TV. His eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't gotten anything done for Andrew's movie, and the worst part was, he was miserable. He wanted to quit, he wanted to give up. But he knew he couldn't; somehow he had to teach Serena a lesson.
The phone rang again. He brought the receiver to his ear. "Knock knock."
"Serena, I want you to come to my room and clean up the mess you made with all that honey."
"Why, whatever do you mean?" She defended.
Darien tip-toed around the mess and walked out of his room. "You know exactly what I mean." Once again in his boxers he walked down the hall, didn't even bother knocking, and stormed into her room.
She 'eeped' as soon as she spotted him. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out into the hall; Mina was sleeping. "Let go of me this instant!" She hissed.
"I've got cleaning supplies and paper towels in my room."
Rather than struggle, she had begun to him in defense, "I am NOT cleaning anything." She protested, still unable to get out of his hold.
"I suppose your parents would be interested to know what you've been doing to me the past few weeks." Darien threatened.
"They wouldn't believe you." Serena had finally managed to escape. "Besides, you can't prove anything." She stuck her tongue out at him and hurriedly returned to her room. He heard her lock it behind her.
Darien sighed and shut his door. It was going to take him a while to clean everything.
****
Darien splashed his face with water, then applied his aftershave. Instantly he recognized an unfamiliar itching sensation and rinsed his face with more water and the tingling faded.
Wearing only a towel, as he had just gotten out of the shower he marched down to Serena's door. He knocked; she answered.
Her grin was evident, there was something about Darien still dripping wet and in nothing but a towel that turned her on to no end. But this only fueled her animosity more. Darien merely handed her the bottle of aftershave and retreated to his room.
"When are you gonna let up on him." Mina was at her desk studying.
"When he admits his concession." Serena lounged on her couch.
"How will he do that Serena?" Mina questioned.
"When he leaves." Serena crossed her arms.
"You're just mad because you're attracted to him, and you know he doesn't return those feelings. Not that you've given him any kind of opportunity to do so." Mina reasoned.
"It doesn't matter." Serena stated, "He has a girlfriend. Where do you think he's going tonight?"
"How do you know that?" Mina now faced Serena.
"I've seen pictures of them when I've broken into his room."
"What does she look like?" Mina was curious.
"They look good together, she has long black hair, and she's very pretty." Serena didn't dare make eye contact with Mina.
"Prettier than you?" Mina wanted to see how far she could take the subject.
"Yes." Serena whispered.
Mina decided to let it end and resumed studying. Serena was left to her thoughts. She couldn't get over her attraction, however, at the same time she could not think of anyone who aggravated her as much as he did.
****
"Why are you so quiet?" Raye questioned.
"I'm just tired, I haven't been sleeping well." Darien said honestly.
"Why don't you just quit. I'm sure if you explained to your mother she would understand." Raye took Darien's hand in hers. "Darien you've changed since you've started this job. And I don't like what's happening to you." She was concerned.
"You think I do!?" Darien pulled away from her. She was a bit shocked that he had raised his voice toward her. "It's not about the job anymore; it's about beating her. I have to show her --"
"Darien, what are you saying?" Raye interrupted him.
"Raye, I don't want to talk about my job anymore." Darien relaxed a bit, "How has school been going?"
"Okay," She sighed, "I miss you though, I feel like I never see you anymore, because you refuse to let me come see you at the dorms."
"I'm afraid she'll do something to you." Darien was getting defensive again.
"I know." Raye soothed, "I know."
"You don't believe me." Darien stared through her.
"Darien, I don't want to fight with you. If I didn't believe you, don't you think I would have stopped by already to see for myself." Raye tried to convince him.
"C'mon, get your stuff. You can spend the night." Darien put a twenty on the table and stood up. "Well." He looked at Raye.
"I'm not going with you." She shook her head.
"I just want you to see." Darien outstretched his hand, Raye hesitated but took it.
****
When they arrived at the dorm, Raye was surprised at the number of heads that poked out of their doors in order to get a proper look at the older girl Darien had brought back with him.
Raye and Darien had been dating for almost eight months, so she was used to girls ogling him to a certain degree. However, seeing this many girls eying him up was a bit unnerving.
Darien unlocked his room door and asked her to stay outside for a moment so he could make sure the coast was clear. Darien returned momentarily and escorted her inside. The room looked slightly more cluttered than it had when she had last seen it a month ago.
"Do you want anything to drink?" Darien offered.
"Nope." Ray smiled slyly, "I just want you."
"Darien returned her smile and wrapped his arms around her, "Good." He muttered before kissing her gently.
They were interrupted by a knock on the door. Darien groaned as he tore himself away from Raye's warmth.
He opened the door ready to berate Serena for cutting in, but found Mina instead when he opened the door. Raye tried to sneak a peek; Mina did the same.
"What can I do for you Mina?"
She fished in a grocery bag and pulled out a bottle, and handed him his brand of aftershave, "I promise there's nothing wrong with it, I just brought it from the store."
"Why?" Darien was confused.
"I just felt bad." Mina seemed genuine.
"Why should you feel bad; Serena's the one who did it." Darien didn't understand why Mina was defending Serena.
"You don't know Serena like I do Darien. Fighting with you like this is the only thing she knows how to do." Mina reasoned. "I have to go, I'm sorry I interrupted you."
"Mina," Darien stopped her, "I want you to meet my girlfriend." Darien wasn't sure why he had such an urge to do so. "Raye, this is Mina, she's rooming with Serena."
Raye cocked an eye brow, "I hear your friend has been giving Darien some trouble." Raye challenged.
"Nothing he doesn't deserve I assure you." Mina smiled sweetly.
"Mina what are you --" Serena had seen Mina in Darien's doorway as she ascended the stairs, but realized her mistake as soon as she reached the landing.
Darien's heartbeat quickened, as soon as he heard her voice he became frantic.
"Serena, this is Raye." Mina introduced the two girls.
They glared at each other for a while. "It's nice to meet you Serena." Raye stuck her hand out.
Serena shook it, but did not respond verbally. However, Serena's distaste for Darien's girlfriend was quite evident. For some reason through, Serena decided that Raye was not someone she wanted to mess with. "C'mon Mina." Serena grabbed Mina's arm and began dragging her towards their door.
"It was nice to meet you Raye, talk to you later Darien." Mina yelled as she was pulled down the hall.
Serena slammed the door behind her and her bubbly friend. Raye blinked, "So that was the infamous Serena?"
Darien closed the door, "I don't like the way she looked at you. Maybe we should spend the night at your place."
Raye looked at her cell phone, "No, I think I'm just gonna go home." She sighed.
"But you just got here." Darien argued.
"I'm gonna go." Raye slung her purse over her shoulder, "It's okay, I'm just tired."
"Raye, I want you to stay." Darien grabbed her hands.
Raye kissed him on the cheek, "Maybe another night."
Darien let her hands slide out of his own and watched her wave as she closed the door behind her.
He stared at the door for a while before deciding to put Serena in her place. . . once and for all.

AN: I have no time to type you guys, ah well, I need your reviews to survive, and finally, after 3 chapters, I've got enough time to respond to you all. Thank you again for your support, I love you all!
MOON ROSE, I'll ask again, please e-mail me, we should do coffee or something, well not coffee, I don't drink coffee, but I drink hot chocolate! Anyways, I also wanna know what you think, and what you think I should do to this story. Let me know!
Dizzy4, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I have a pimp, no wait, not just any pimp, I have a P-I-M-P! Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm not sure if I've ever gotten such a deep complement. Let me know what you would like to see in the story!
Leira1, first I would like to thank you for writing such long reviews, it makes for great bedtime reading! Yay! Anyways, you will have to wait for Serena and Darien to be together for a while, just because torture is so much fun, and what would a D&S story be without it. Plus, I really don't think it would be in Darien's character to just shack up with someone right away, assuming Darien and Raye break up, which, ya never know, they might not. Would Darien commit adultery? Oh, and where might I get my own Frooky? Please advise!
MistressMoon, great to have you back, I'm so psyched that you are enjoying the fic. I hope I can keep you guessing, but sometimes my readers know what's gonna happen before I do, thanks for your thoughts!
ThatsMsDiva2U, so I've interested you I see, I want to throw in plenty of twists in this one. I do agree with you that if Raye keeps acting so insecure she'll lose Darien, but what if something happens before it comes to that point. Perhaps her jealousy is just a cover for something. . . or is that too much forshadowing? Either way keep reviewing, I love to see you in my inbox!
AMI MIZUNO1, happy you're happy, thanks for sticking with this fic!
LizzieG84, Thanks for your input, I like to see that I keep people on their toes.
Aurora, you're back! It makes me smile when I get readers that tag along for a lot of my stories! It also makes me smile when I get you guys interested, hopefully after this chapter it will start picking up!
DarkTenshi23, are you still my #1 fan? I hope so, I'm counting on your cheers, let me know what you think should happen.
Mikahoshi11, hey darlin', you gotta come visit me now that I moved into my new dorm!
Lara1786, keep tuning in, regardless of my odd releasing schedule, and let me know what you think should happen, I value your opinion!
Kirei, Namiko-Daughter of Sekhmet, Fiy-chan, koldy, Krystal-Jade, Moonlightshadows, serena79, celtica, sBubbles, Whitesiren, , XxWingedxAngelxX, so glad you've decided to read my fic, I hope you keep reading a reviewing, let me know if there's anything you want to see.
Preview --- Chapter IV. Serena Has A Plan --- Darien has had enough of Serena's pranks, and is ready to deal with her. What will he do? What will she say? Just remember, it's not just a job anymore, now, it's personal. . .
