Chapta 2: Surprise! Ice Cream…

-After school…-

"Hey Serena… Are you feeling ok?" Lita approached Serena and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Mina walked along side them with equal concern.

"Never better." She smiled sweetly.

"Do you guys want to go get Rei? I already talked to Aimee, and told her to meet us after school at the ice cream parlor. We can have some fun and hang out, it will be my treat." Serena asked the both of them.

No Way! Lita thought to herself, Serena actually offering to pay, and making plans by herself? She usually used people to pay for her. She couldn't even plan her own birthday party right. This couldn't be the same Serena who was a klutz yesterday.

While Lita stood puzzled, Mina had some of her own thoughts too. She always admired Serena for her rash boldness and her clumsy way of always making them laugh. It seemed the presence of that Serena was missing and this new personality had taken over. She never truly liked "Perfect."

"Hey I need to meet up with Darien first, but I'll catch up with you guys a little later. Bye!" Serena seemed to be floating on a cloud she walked so gracefully.

------------------------

-At Darien's apartment…-

Knock knock Serena waited a few seconds before the door opened.

"Oh hey Serena. I can't believe you actually remembered to meet me and you're on time!" Darien said shocked. She simply smiled and waved her hand as he let her in. "Now what did you want to tell me?" he asked while shutting the door.

"Not much… I just wanted to say," she wrapped her arms around his waist and tiptoed to whisper softly in his ear, "I love you."

"S-Serena?" He actually blushed. I never blush! Why does she seem so confident… so open? He turned to capture her lips into a deep kiss. When they broke away she grinned and stroked his cheek.

"Would you like to get some ice cream with the gang and me?"

"Sure." This is too weird. She's so polite and graceful… Maybe there's some kind of catch.

"Oh and by the way, it's on me."

"WHAT!" His mouth hit the floor.

"Oh you're so silly Darien… Come on, let's go!" she took his hand in hers and skipped off… without tripping!

As they walked from his apartment to the ice cream parlor, every now and then he would take a glance at her face. It had a loose expression, as if she didn't have a care in the world. He liked it. Or at least he thought so.

Inside they walked hand in hand, as Serena greeted the gang. She slid in the booth across the four as Darien came in beside her.

She started to talk about her day, each word strung together in harmony and made sense. Unfortunately there was no excitement in it, just a plain, perfect day with no usual Serena-isms. Those stories had always brought laughter and joy to her friend's faces. This one brought boredom.

Where has our friend gone!
