The Perfect Day
Disclaimer: I said it last chapter, go back and read it! As if you didn't know it. Except in this chapter, it's not the songs I don't own, it's the basketball teams. Though I wish I owned them. That would be so cool…
Moonlight Child4: Thank you for reviewing! You were the only review I got, but I figured I'd update for you anyway. Hope you like the chapter!
Ch. 2: Game on
Stanton re-materialized he and Serena in the shadows in back of the Staples Center. They had the best hot dogs there, and he knew that Serena liked to watch the Los Angeles Lakers play when she was little, and had always had a special loyalty to them. So he had gotten them tickets to that nights game.
When he told Serena, she squealed and threw her arms around his neck, hugging him while jumping up and down, giddily. He simply chuckled and held her. She gave him a quick kiss and pulled him towards the Staples Center.
"Serena! The game doesn't start until 6:30, it's only 5:00 now!" Stanton shouted as she pulled him along behind her. She looked back at him as though he were mad.
"That's barely enough time to get a jersey and some food and find our seats!" Serena told him as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. He smiled softly and went along with her as she bought a Kobe Bryant jersey. She tugged it on over her shirt and smiled up at him. He hugged her as he got a small bear with a Lakers shirt on to surprise her with. He wanted to get her something other than just a jersey, which was just so normal. He decided he would wait to give it to her until later, though.
They grabbed a hot dog and went to their seats. Sure enough, Serena was right and it was only 15 minutes until the lights lowered and the players were introduced. It was the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Sacramento Kings. It proved to be a very interesting game, and Serena had a rather sore throat do to all the cheering, yelling, and boo-ing she had participated in during the game. The Lakers won it, 108 in their favor to 96 for the Kings.
While they were walking out of the stadium, she smiled at him and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you," she said to him quietly.
"Well you know me, anything to get a smile out of you," Stanton replied sweetly. She laughed at him and he laughed with her. It was nice not to worry about anything. Not about being caught by regulators, or any other followers showing up, just having a good time. He pulled her into the shadows and drifted into shadow again with Serena.
While the day had been perfect, the night was going to be lovely, too. He had a special surprise waiting for her at the place where he was taking her (A/N: haha! You won't know until I tell you! hahaha.).
Alright! There's the next chapter! I hope you liked it. I love the Lakers, and so, naturally, hate the Sacramento Kings. And if any of you like them, well I'm sorry, but I'm a Lakers girl (not the cheerleaders!). Anyway, please review, and I'll give you another chapter. And could I get two reviews? Please? Thank you! C u ltr!
