Chapter 6

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Hiya people, updated really quickly this time didn't I!

Anywayz hope you like the chapter and thank you sooo much to those who reviewed you're all stars!

Serena's P.O.V

Phew.

Just had a little, well not little, big heart to heart with Raye.

After we'd both said sorry, cried a lil bit more then just argued for like hours… hours, 20 minutes... same thing really.

We actually worked things out.

I think Raye had all this stuff bottled up inside of her.

As you all know… or maybe you don't.

But anyway, she's a pretty 'keeps herself to herself' kinda person if you get where I'm going.

And I guess my change tipped her over the edge.

Oops.

So now I'm walking to meet Aaron so we can discuss… drum roll please… 'THE PLAN.'

I know, I know I'm a drama queen, but hey it makes the small things in life exciting.

And I make people, well myself, laugh. Hehe.

Okay, so I'm walking to T.P.A and I suddenly see some familiar faces.

Yep, you got it. Or maybe you didn't.

Oh well. It was the outers!

You don't know how long it's been since I've seen those guys.

This is soo totally cool. My god, have they changed.

"Hey guys." I squealed as I ran up to them, beaming.

"Er…" Amara just looked at me.

"Can we help you dear?" Asked Michelle politely.

"It's me." I replied, totally cofused, which they also appeared to be.

And then it hit me.

Yeah, I guess that blonde thing really let me down there.

I laughed nervously and looked them all in eye.

"Come on I don't look that different, I mean, yeah I got rid of the meatballs but…"

Amara chocked on the coffee she'd taken a sip from.

"S-Serena?"

Setsuna appeared from behind them.

"Ahh, Serena. I had a feeling we'd see you today."

"Hehe, funny that." I replied sarcastically.

I smiled at her to show I was joking.

"B-but… Y-you… no… I mean… how?… why?… who made you do this?"

I had to laugh.

It wasn't often Amara was this speechless.

I could see Michelle alsotrying to hide her laughter beside her.

"Okay. How? Lets see, I decided that I wanted to be my own person, so I died my hair and got some new clothes.

Why? Like I just said I wanted to be my own person and show people the real me.

And finally who made me do this? Simple. Me.

Even though you probably got that form the 'being my own person.' Hehe.

Okay, I'll stop talking now…."

"Oh." Was all Amara could manage.

But Michelle finished for her.

"Well. I think you look amazing, you've certainly grown up." She said with a smile.

"That's true. But I'm not sure about the skirt.

I mean seriously Serena why so short?"

"Ahh, Amara, you've finally come back to us." I giggled as I tugged on my skirt a bit.

I looked at my watch.

Oh crap.

I had five minutes to get to T.P.A.

"Look, I gotta go. I'm meeting someone.

But I'll give you a call and we can all go out sometime.

Along with the inners. Sound good to you?"

"Er, yeah sure sounds great." Replied Amara as she Michelle and Setsuna waved goodbye.

Wow.

I guess I forgot about the outers, silly me.

Oh well, seeing Amara that tongue tied was just priceless anywayyy… Ow.

Stupid rock thing in my way.

Okay, enough of that I gotta run if I'm gonna get to Aaron on time.

I don't care if I look completely ridiculous and totally stupid I am not going to be late. Ever again.

I pulled off my heels and started running.

When I finally reached T.P.A I was out of breath and sweating like a pig.

Do pigs actually sweat that much?

I wonder why people say tha… there I go again totally changing the subject. Gees.

"Serena you okay?"

I turned round to see Aaron in front of me, his hair flopped down in front of his dark green eyes.

"Yeah(breath)I'm(breath)fine(breath)thanks." I stopped to get my breath back.

"Had to run a little bit of the way. Made me a bit out of breath."

"Yeah I can see that." He replied pointing to the heels that I still held in my hand.

I could feel my cheeks burning as I slipped them back on.

What was wrong with me. I was actually worrying what Aaron thought of me.

Ha, how stupid was that. Hmm.

"So you ready to start on this plan?" He asked as he walked up closer to me.

I swear my heart did a little flip.

What was up with me?

Did I actually have feelings for Aaron.

Wait a minute.

Did I actually have feeling for someone that wasn't Darien.

This was not good.

Not good at all.

Big no no. that's what it was.

"Oh god, what am I doing? This isn't good. Not at all. Bad Serena. Gees."

"What was that?" Asked Aaron as he raised an eyebrow at me.

Oh crap.

Did I just say that out loud.

Oh my good god what was up with me today?

AAAAHHH. Help me someone.

Phew. Okay.

"Erm nothing, just ignore me. I mean yeah.

I'm totally ready to start the plan. Lets get to work." I beamed up at him.

"Okay, cool. We're gonna need to find out what times Carla's rehearsal times are.

They should be on the notice board outside the drum room.

You do that. I'll go find our secret ingredient."

"Are we seriously gonna call it that?" I asked turning my nose up at the totally weird name he'd thought up.

"Well you try and think up something better Einstein. Now come on lets get to work."

I fell down on my bed later that day.

I sighed as I sat back up and looked down at my feet.

Damn high heels.

Not a good idea to wear them when you're going to spend at least an hour walking around a huge building.

Seriously, T.P.A has like five floors.

And trust me to forget where the drum room is!

Ugh. Ow. Sigh.

'Come on baby…'

'Give it to me…'

Ugh. I need to change my ringtone.

Crappy thing.

I practically cried as I stepped onto my poor feet and walked over to where my cell was.

What did my feet ever do to deserve this?

I mean they are good feet.

Not too big, or too small. Just… hang on a minute.

Am I seriously talking about feet when I should be answering my phone?

What is wrong with me today?

The word randomness comes to mind. If that's even a word.

Ooh crap, my phone.

"Hello, Serena here." I answered.

"Hey Sere it's me Aaron."

Aaron? Oh god.

"Oh, hey Aaron what's up?" I replied trying to play it cool.

It's just a little crush. Just a teeny weeny little crush.

I'm sure Darien's had teeny weeny little crushes before. Hmm.

"Nothing much. How are your feet?"

"Eh. Not so good. I feel like I've been walking over fire all day."

" I don't know why you girls where such stupid things."

"Hey, they look good. And plus I'd be really, really, really short without them."

He laughed. "You crack me up Sere."

"hehe. Thanks."

Awkward silence.

"So?"

"So…"

Another awkward silence.

"Er, did you find your guitar then?"

"Oh yeah I did. I just need to get some of the strings fixed."

"Cool."

"Yeah."

Damn those awkward silences.

"Aaron?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you really call me?"

"To see how your feet were?"

"Seriously Aaron."

"What, they looked really sore when you left I was just being a friend and seeing how you were."

"And that's all we are friends right?"

"Well yeah. I'll admit I have feeling for you…"

Woah, woah, woah.

Hold your horses there.

He has feelings for me?

Why did I have to go and ask him that stupid damn question.

UGH. Somebody come save me form myself. please!

"…. But you have a boyfriend and I know you really love him.

So, you know, there's not really anything I can do about it is there?"

"No. I'm sorry if I hurt you."

"No, no, you haven't. It's just a crush. I'll get over it. It's not your fault."

Just a crush. It's just a crush…

"Okay. That's cool then. But things are gonna be really awkward between us now."

"No they're not. I wont let them okay?"

"Okay then."

"Well, night."

"Night Aaron."

Sigh.

Why me?
