I was literally jumping up and down from excitement when I heard I had gotten over 100 reviews already. Thank you so so so much. From the bottom of my heart… and from the top. Unfortunately- I have to say… there will be no sequel for Mystery Girl, nor will there be any more chapters. Mystery Girl is completed.

Darien's Point of View

I woke up to the light, melodic sound of giggling. Wincing, I slowly managed to open my eyes and adjust them to the dim light of a lamp. I turned my head and realized the giggling was coming from Serena. She was lying on her front side, on the bed, legs bent at the knees as she drew figure eight's in the air with her toes. She had a pencil in her hand and was scribbling down some notes in what seemed to be a diary or journal of some sort.

"What are you doing?" I groaned and rolled over on my side, letting the now melted ice pack slip off my numb, frozen head.

"I'm writing in my diary." She smiled at me, turned to her book and giggled a little more.

"And this is amusing why?" It was good to see her smiling, but I knew that she was most likely laughing at me.

"I can't tell you Darien! It's my diary! It's where my most personal and private thoughts go in." She continued to grin while writing in her diary. I felt deprived.

"Yeah well…" I walked over to the desk at the other end of the bedroom, slid the drawer open and pulled out a few sheets of paper and a pen. "I think I might just start a diary of my own then!"

"Good." She nodded, paying no attention to me. I clicked the end of my pen and began to write.

Dear Diary… or at least I think that's how these are supposed to go.

I'm sitting here writing on this here fine sheet of white paper simply because I can, and because Serena is lying on her bed writing in her diary so I felt like I needed one too. Gosh this is really stupid. I feel like such a tool… whoever invented the idea of writing down all your thoughts in a book really must be crazy, and anyone else who does it just for fun must be equally insane. It's almost as crazy as talking to yourself. Loony! I'm looking over at Meatball Head writing in her diary. She's giggling at something and I want to know what it is. She's just so ditzy sometimes. Mina not only stuck her in my car along the way here, she put her in the same room as me to sleep in for the next 7 days. I honestly don't know how long I'll last. Serena drives me totally crazy! 7 whole days of being in the same room as her… I'm never gonna make it.

I glanced over at Serena who was still happily jotting down her thoughts, sighed and went back to writing.

Look at her over there giggling away. The light shining on her face like she's some sort of angel. Sure, she's beautiful… but an angel? Ha! Well… maybe. And I still cant believe I'm actually doing this. Writing down my thoughts so openly. There so goes again- smiling. I want to know what she's got written in that book of hers. It's starting to drive me insane! She's driving me insane! I want to hold her.

Darien

I glanced up at the time. It read 10:52.

"Hey Sere, hungry?"

She looked up at me with that special glimmer in her eyes which was only reserved for the promise of food.

"Sure!"

"Great, cause I hear there's a fast food joint in town that's still open now." I watched as Serena scribbled down a few more words into her book, closed it and placed it carefully under her pillow before hopping out of bed and rummaging through her bags.

"What? What are you doing woman?" I whispered, aware that everyone else would most probably be asleep at the moment.

"Getting changed into some decent clothes of course!" She rolled her eyes at me as if to say 'gosh, what else would I be doing stupid.'

"No.. no time. It takes almost an hour to drive into town and it closes at 12. Just go like that and grab a jacket." I sighed

"Are you insane? If you haven't already noticed, I'm wearing my sleeping clothes! Pink bunny pj's, fluffy bunny slippers and all." Serena hissed.

"Do you want a cheese burger or not?"

"Alright alright!" Serena pouted and crept out the door.

We managed to make our way out of the house undetected, the hard part now was getting into the car and starting it up without waking anyone.

"D…Darien…" Serena sat huddled in the passenger seat. "Can w… we drive th…thru please?" I could hear her teeth chattering as wisps of condensation escaped her lips in the car. I turned the ignition on and put the heater on full blast, handing Serena my jacket to keep her extra warm. She looked up at me as if I were some freak alien. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I'll be fine." I shrugged it off and backed out of the driveway.


I pulled into the drive thru with minutes to spare and turned to ask Serena what she wanted, it was then I realized that she was sleeping rather peacefully.

"I'll just have one ultimate burger thanks." I spoke into the intercom

"I hope that's my burger." Serena mumbled and yawned wearily.

"Make that 2. Oh and large fries and a lemonade" I smiled and corrected my order.

We sat in the parking lot of the fast food restaurant and slowly devoured our meal, knowing that it would most likely be the last form of junk food goodness that we would eat in the next week. I savored every tiny morsel of fatty goodness before starting up the car and driving back to the cottage.

It was a little past one AM in the morning by the time we got back. Serena and I attempted to suppress the giggles that were caused by our sugar rush as we gently pushed the front door open. It creaked and Serena let out a little giggle from behind me. I hushed her and closed the door behind us before slowly tip-toeing our way through the house. We were temporarily blinded by a sudden burst of light throughout the room.

"I hope you brought home enough for all of us." Andrew stood in the doorway, his arms crossed.

We looked around and realized that we had been sprung by everyone in the house.

"French fry?" Serena pulled out a soggy french fry from the bottom of the brown paper bag and struggled to suppress another giggle.


"So what were you both doing out so late at night… alone… together?" Raye asked

"You weren't doing anything… you know…" Mina winked mischievously

"NO!" Both Serena and I interrupted.

"You sure did take your time though…" Ken added.

"We just went for burgers and fries. You know it takes almost an hour to drive to town." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah and besides. As if Darien would ever do anything with ME." Serena huffed.

"But would you ever do anything with HIM?" Mina nudged Serena.

"MINA! That's it. You guys suck. I'm going back to bed. GOOD-NIGHT!" Serena scurried away and I felt all eyes fall on me for an explanation.

"What?" Silence filled the room. "Stop looking at me like that!" More silence. "Oh come on guys… honestly…" I decided that was the perfect time to slowly back away into my room. "You all need lives… really. There's nothing happening between us. You all have very wild imaginations. I suggest we all go to bed and forget this ever happened." I rushed into the room and shut the door behind me. Serena looked up from her diary which she seemed to be writing in once again.

"How did it go?"

"Oh they're like vultures out there!" I feigned a superstar like expression and fell back onto my bed. Serena smiled and continued to scribble into her book. "What are you writing about?" I asked, not realizing just how desperate I sounded until it was too late.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" She shot me an innocent smile and looked away.


Serena's point of view

Dear Diary,

Wow! That was close… too close. Darien and I got caught sneaking back into the cabin after going out for some burgers. I can't believe Mina! First she made me sit in the car with Darien for 7 hours on the way here, then she put me in the same room as him and now she makes it sound like I love the guy. She implied that I, Serena, and he, Darien got up to something while we were away- mind you- it would NEVER EVER happen. NOT IN A MILLION YEARS! NO WAY IN HELL!

I mean… he's cute and all but he would never have feelings for me. I don't know if I like him like that though. He's great when he's nice to me, but I really do hate when he's mean to me. I don't mind as much when he calls me Meatball Head, but some of the other things he says are just so harsh. Which reminds me… earlier today everyone was outside in the snow having a snowball fight and I accidentally hit Darien smack in the head with a snowball. I didn't mean to. Honest! But now he has a horrendously huge lump on his head. I felt sorry for him so I took him inside and when I was looking after him… I think we had… a moment. You know… one of those moments where everything just stops. He has such beautiful eyes. But I don't like him… eww no. That jerk? I don't think so!... or… do i? So confused.

Love Always,
Serena

I could see Darien glancing over at me every few minutes, looking at me write in my diary, and I knew he wanted to know what I was writing. It really wasn't all too funny. But I decided to fuel his curiosity some more by giggling every now and then. His curiosity kept me amused. Sure, I was hella curious about what he wrote in his self-created 'diary', and I knew it was most likely ramble and random 'blah blah' sentences, but still. Maybe… just maybe there was something juicy within those blank sheets of paper.


That's the end of another chapter and I am proud to say that I've fallen in love… with a plushie… it's the Tuxedo Kamen (mask) plushie… its soooo adorable! I want one! If only I had a ebay account- I'd buy them all and become the masked plushie queen! Anyway! Next chapter will be out next week.
