The Perfect Prank

Chapter XXIII. Epilogue

By: Sailor Angie

AN: Take it as you will. Read, review, and Enjoy

Serena's eyes slowly opened. She felt the pillow next to her; Darien wasn't there. Serena grumbled and turned over. Suddenly the covers were pulled off her.

"Rise and shine, love." Darien opened the curtains allowing the sun to flood over her exposed legs.

"But I'm tired." She forced her eyes closed, "It's Saturday."

Darien crawled on top of her, "And that's exactly why you need to get up. We have to go to the bank today, and it's only open until noon." He straddled her.

She opened her eyes and looked into his, "But I'm tired." She quipped.

He kissed her on the mouth, "Get up." He got off her and walked out of their bedroom. "Don't go back to sleep." He yelled from the hall.

"Dammit." She harrumphed and got out of bed. Serena walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt. She threw on a pair of sandals on her way out to the kitchen. "What was the big idea?" She pouted.

"Let's eat something quick, and then run to the bank." He put a bowl full of cereal in front of her.

"Explain to me why we have to go to the bank again?" Serena asked between mouthfuls.

"We have to deposit some checks we've been receiving for the new movie." He began washing his dish out in the sink.

Serena rolled her eyes, "You mean you need to go deposit some checks that you've been receiving for the new movie." She glared at him.

"Well, you're up now, so I guess you'll just have to come with me." He flashed a smile he knew she couldn't resist.

"I'll go start the car." Serena grabbed the car key6s and Darien followed her.

"Omigod! What a coincidence!" Mina screeched as Serena and Darien entered the bank.

"Oh geez." Serena muttered under her breath, while Darien began to chuckle softly. Behind Mina, Serena saw Andy and –

"Oh. . . hi Darien; nice to see you Serena." Ray stood in line with them. Although it had been a long time since Darien had dated Raye, their meetings were always awkward and strained.

"Hi Raye," Darien and Serena said in sincere unison.

"But what are you all doing here?" Serena was confused.

"Three of the five people attached to the 3Amigos production company account have to sign the checks we get from out sponsors. So Raye, Andy, and I volunteered to drop off the checks." Darien explained.

Suddenly a man burst through the bank doors and yelled: "Everybody get down!"

Darien grabbed Serena and covered her with his body as they hit the ground.

Serena attempted to look up. The man who had com into the bank had a gun and although his face was covered with a ski-mask, something about him seemed so oddly familiar.

"Everybody stay on the ground, this is a stick-up!" The man yelled again.

Raye knew something was wrong. Daringly she stood up: "Chad?"

Chad ripped off the ski mask, "Raye, what are you doing here?!"

Andy, Mina, Darien and Serena looked up to see the 2nd amigo.

"What am I doing here? What are you doing here robbing a god dammed bank!?" She put her hands on her hips.

"Well, I was gonna try to get some money for the wedding." He was visibly scared of Raye. Then again, who wasn't?

"You moron, we're here to deposit checks for the company! Besides, there isn't gonna be a wedding." She took her hands off her hips and folded them in front of her chest in disgust.

"What are you talking about?!" He began to cry.

"We're through. I'm not marrying an attempted bank robber." She turned her nose up at him.

"But Raye. . ." He begged for her forgiveness.

Everyone in the bank was still on the floor trying to piece together exactly what was going on when Mina suddenly proclaimed: "Andy, if we're gonna die, there's something I have to tell you."

"Are you breaking up with me too?" He whined childishly.

"No Andy." insert dramatic pause here, "I'M PREGNANT!" She exclaimed.

Darien and Serena's jaws dropped just thinking about an Andy-Mina spawn running around.

Just then, Sailor Moon burst through the doors, "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" She posed.

Serena jolted upright in bed, panting.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Darien stirred.

"I had this awful nightmare that the author played a prank on the readers and wrote a fake epilogue, and tried to pass it off as the real one." She rushed.

"Calm down Serena, the real epilogue will be out on Sunday December 5th, the author's birthday, like usual. And remember, she'll also be putting out the premiere chapter of her new fan fiction." He paused, "C'mon, let's go to sleep."

Serena took a deep breath and laid back down, "Okay, you're right. But I'm never going to the bank with you." Darien stifled a laugh.

AN: It was a joke, I hope you take it as such. I thought it would be fitting to pull a prank on my readers given the title of this fan fic. Hopefully you'll understand and appreciate my humor. The real, and longer Epilogue will be released on Sunday December, 5th, my birthday along with the first chapter of my new fan fic. Oh man, are you guys ready for my double whammy!?

Preview --- Chapter XXIV. The Real Epilogue --- It wouldn't be any fun if I told you. . .
