Previously:
"Pack your bags girls," Darien said, removing himself fully from Serena. "For Serena's seventeenth birthday, we're going back to Chad's cabin!"
"WHAT?"
Present:
"Oh Muffin!" Serena exclaimed, jumping up and down in joy. She couldn't believe it! Another trip up to Chad's beautiful cabin!
She stopped from her jumping for a moment and looked around. It wasn't too hard to tell what the girls were thinking. Raye's face was one of utter disbelief. Stifling a laugh, she was about to tell Raye to pick her jaw up off the floor…but then again, it wouldn't be any fun for the poor innocent fly who was about to fly into her mouth. She sighed. The things she did for friendship. Glancing over at Lita, Serena noticed she wore a look of pure confusion. Her brows were scrunched together as if trying to register what he just said. Amy, however, looked like she was expecting it. It figured. Zoisite never could keep a secret from her. Then there was Mina…
She gulped visibly. Mina had that certain twinkle in her eye that meant she was planning something. Now, normally she would just read Mina's mind, but unfortunately, Mina had learned how to block Serena's mind intrusion. The small smirk on Mina's face was enough to drive her mad. What could she be planning?
"Hello, Earth to Serena, come in Serena," a voice rang in her ear. Instantly recognizing it as Darien's, she snapped out of her thoughts and looked happily upon the man she loved. But just as soon as she was about to say more…
"GAH! I JUST SWALLOWED A FLY!" Raye screamed in horror. Everyone swung their heads over toward Raye who was jumping up and down, her hands grasping at her throat.
"I'M GOING TO DIE! I SWALLOWED A FLY!"
"There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she'll die?" Mina began to sing, laughing slightly from Raye's new look on her face.
If only she had her video camera…
"AHH! I'M GOING TO DIE!"
Yup. Serena definitely wanted her video camera for this moment.
"Raye, calm down!" Lita demanded, but it did no good. Jedite reached for her in hopes to calm her down, but it seemed Raye had other ideas…
"I'M GOING TO DIE, I'M GOING TO DIE, I'M GOING TO….
WHACK
Raye turned into the arcade window and fell in a heap on the floor.
"Mommy, mommy look!" I little boy giggled from the outside. "An old lady ran into a window!"
"Come on Timmy," his mother scolded. "It's not nice to point and stare at the elderly."
"There was an old woman who…" Mina began to sing tauntingly again. Serena saw Amy sigh visibly.
"Oh looky! I see pretty pretty blue birdies!" Raye pointed stupidly before dizzily hitting her head back on the floor.
"Well, at least she knows what it's like now" Jedite muttered softly, looking at the floor, but he uttered it loud enough for everyone two feet away to hear.
"Hey isn't that the anniversary gift I gave to Raye?"
Serena looked around at everyone. "Umm….yeah! And Raye was just about to open it too, right before you came in!" she giggled nervously. Please let him fall for it; please let him fall for it.
"But I told her to wait until we were alone together…" Jedite trailed off, confusion written all over his face.
'A little help Ames!" she sent telepathically to Amy who was standing there idly watching the entire thing with Zoisite's arm wrapped around her.
"Well, you see Jedite, it's quite simple," Amy explained, moving out of Zoisite's grasp. Serena could already see that he was disappointed, but made no move to trap her back.
"Raye was curious as to what was in the box. Since she knew of your promise, she was about to have Serena open it up for her. In conclusion, she would know what was in the box and at the same time, not break her promise to you. Understand?" Amy concluded.
Jedite looked at Amy. "Umm…what?"
sweat drop
"Just…forget it Jed," Zoisite muttered, smiling contently again as Amy returned to his arms. Sheesh, and they always said that her and Darien needed to get a room.
"What are we going to do about Raye?" Nephrite questioned, looking down at the unconscious girl.
"Ouch," Raye moaned, regaining consciousness quickly. She clutched her head in pain. Shaking her head, her eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped.
"Well at least that answered my quest-"
"I'M NOT AN OLD WOMAN!" Raye yelled.
"-ion," Nephrite concluded.
"There was an old woman….." Mina began to sing once more.
"MINA I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Guys, just calm down, okay? We don't need to create another mess for Andrew to clean up." Lita sighed. She began to rub her temples vigorously in hopes of preventing, what she thought, a migraine.
Silence spread through the entire group like wild fire.
"Well?" Darien asked, breaking the eerie silence.
"Well what?" she asked back. What was he asking her?
"What do you think about the cabin? The only thing I got out of you was 'Oh Muffin!'"
His Earth blue eyes bore into hers. She smiled gleefully. That's right. That is the only thing she said. Darien did always want an answer, not an emotional response.
"Oh Muffin, that's wonderful!" Serena exclaimed in delight, throwing him into another one of her many hugs. Feeling Darien wrap his arms around her, she sighed in bliss. She always did feel safe in his arms. Snuggling deeper, she temporarily forgot that she was supposed to be putting on a show in public.
(AN: I added this part in here because Serena seemed a little too ditzy in the beginning of the story, so hopefully this explains it! If you wanna skip it, go right ahead, just move on down to the next paragraph . )
That's right. Serena's not your average ditz. Although she may act stupid, she's actually very smart. Of course, like many others, she does have her "blonde" moments (and some more often then others). Lately, there had been no attacks and Luna was starting to get worried that the Negaverse was planning some kind of attack, so she had Serena play the "look at me, I'm a blonde, stupid, meatball headed ditz act" extra thick. Meaning, she had to be a stupid, blonde headed bimbo even more now.
"Get a room you two!" Jedite called, snickering all the while.
BONK
"OWE!" Jedite screamed, another huge lump forming on his head next to the one he received earlier. "What ya do that for?"
She shook her head. Looking at Darien, he was doing the same thing. Turning towards Raye, she couldn't wait for another show to begin.
"Your other lump got lonely, so I gave it a friend," Raye stated, the earlier event forgotten.
"But it hurt!" Jedite whined.
"And your point is?"
"It hurt!"
"You said that already!" Raye cried out in frustration.
"I know I did!" Jedite retorted back.
"Then why'd ya say it!" Raye screamed, her anger reaching her peak.
"Because like my lump, it got lonely," Jedite smirked.
BONK!
Everyone winced. Jedite now laid on the floor unconscious with Raye standing over him triumphantly, her hand still in a fist. Looking closely, you could see that right between the two lumps that he had already received; there was a third that was even bigger then the others.
'It's a good thing he has a thick skull, otherwise he'd be dead by now,' Serena thought inwardly. 'Poor Andrew, I wonder what he's going to say about all-'
"RAYE, NOT AGAIN!" Andrew screamed in agitation, yet if you knew him as long as Serena, you could detect the faintest bit of covered up laughter and amusement in his voice. "It's bad enough that you already were unconscious…but now him too? I need a break," he muttered to himself.
"Sorry Andy," she apologized, bringing her fist down slowly. "But I just can't help myself around him!"
"That much is obvious," Mina stated. "And I'm not just talking about the punching."
Raye gasped as a faint ruby blush began to stain her cheeks. Was it just her or did everything seem to lead back to the saying 'get a room.' Now who was going to say it this time…
She looked around and no one made any indication of saying it. sigh Looks like it's going to be her.
"And they said we need to get a room in public" Serena muttered under her breath. Everyone nodded in agreement. She smiled and dusted off her hands. Her job was done.
"PREPARE TO DIE MINA!" yelled Raye in a blaze of fury. Serena sighed again. Today was just not Raye's day. And from the looks of it, she noted, it wasn't going to be Jedite's or Mina's day either.
"Raye, calm down!" Amy cried, but it did no good. Leaping at Mina, she was caught in midair by none other then Kunzite, Mina's boyfriend.
"I think you girls need to calm down," he scolded slightly. He always was the more mature one of the group.
"Put me down NOW!" Raye kicked and screamed struggling furiously to get out of Kunzite's iron grip.
"Not until you girls promise to stop this silly nonsense!" Kunzite shrieked.
Everyone paused. No one moved.
"Fine" Raye agreed.
"Fine" Mina repeated.
Kunzite let out a sigh of relief. Looking over, Amy, Zoisite, Lita, and Nephrite did the exact same thing. Serena even felt Darien breathe a sigh of relief.
Gently putting Raye back onto her feet, he began to wipe off the imaginary dust that had somehow managed to find its way onto his perfectly perfect clothes.
Tossing her hair over her shoulder, Raye turned and looked at Serena.
"How can you words get lonely?"
"It's Jedite," Zoisite stated. "What else do you expect?"
"Oh and Serena?" Raye inquired.
"Yes Raye?"
"WHY IS MY ANNIVERSARY GIFT FROM JEDITE ON THE FLOOR?"
'Exit stage left' she thought to herself, before quickly taking off out the arcade door.
WHACK
Little pink birdies surrounded her head. That's right, you have to pull the door open, not push.
"Mommy, Mommy! Look! Another old lady, but this time she ran into a door!" Timmy exclaimed, his face glowing with laughter.
"Honey, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times…Don't point at the elderly! It's disrespectful!" His mother scolded slightly.
"Oh great," Serena muttered under her breath before she too lost consciousness in the arcade.
"Well…look on the bright side Andy!" Mina exclaimed.
"And that would be…"
"Instead of two, you've had three people become unconscious today!" she jumped in excitement.
"Great…just what I always wanted," Andy mumbled.
