Serena waited anxiously in line to get into Planet Bang. She stood with her friends, impatiently tapping her foot against the sidewalk. During the car ride, she had realized that Stanton could be at Planet Bang that night. She knew that he sometimes went there with his group of followers. The fact that she could see him excited her, but at the same time it worried her. She didn't want him to go into her mind, and find her thoughts of him.

"Ugh, how long has it been now?" Vanessa asked for the hundredth time.

"It's been 2 minutes longer than the last time you asked," sighed Jimena. The line was longer than usual because it was Teen Night. They had been waiting for at least 30 minutes, and it looked as if they were only half way to the door.

"By the time we get inside it'll be closing time," said Serena.

"Well, if you want to pass some time, I see Jerome over there, and it doesn't look like he came with anyone." Said Vanessa slyly. Serena just rolled her eyes. She didn't care about Jerome. There wasn't anything wrong with him, he just wasn't her type. He dated a lot of girls and had a reputation as a heartbreaker.

"Yeah, chica, you should go over," Jimena teased, giving Serena a little push towards where Jerome was in line. Just as her friends were about to drag her over to Jerome, Michael walked over. Phew! Serena thought. Her friends started talking to Michael, making them forget about their previous mission to set up Serena and Jerome.

After about another 20 minutes of waiting, and Vanessa's complaining, they were in. They paid, went through security, and finally walked into the club. Lasers flashed in all different colors, and techno music blasted out of the speakers.

Vanessa went off with Michael, and Catty went to get something to drink. That left Serena and Jimena. They started dancing, moving their bodies with the beat, causing a lot of guys to turn and look at them. But Serena was only looking for one. She scanned the crowd, but didn't see him. Then she glanced towards the back where the stoners hung out. He wasn't there. She sighed, disappointed and relieved at the same time.

She turned her attention back to dancing. After a few minutes, Jimena motioned her off the dance floor.

"What?" Serena yelled over the music. Jimena motioned to her moon amulet, which was glowing. Serena glanced down at hers. It was also glowing. Then Jimena pointed to the corner of the club. Cassandra and Karyl were standing there, staring at them. They were both dressed all in black. Cassandra whispered something to Karyl, her maroon-streaked hair shimmering in the colored lights. He turned and looked them, then they both burst out laughing.

Jimena took her by the arm and lead her outside the club, so they could talk privately. When they got outside, Jimena led her under a tree.

"I had a premonition," stated Jimena.

"You mean just now?" asked Serena.

"Yes," she sighed. "I saw you and..." she trailed off.

"What did you see?" asked Serena, getting more nervous by the second.

"I saw you and Stanton. Maybe it isn't such a big deal, you know? But it looked like you guys were... Like you wanted to..." Jimena trailed off once again.

"What is it?" Serena asked wearily.

"I'm sure I just misinterpreted it. You wouldn't...You couldn't..."

"I couldn't what?"

Jimena took a breath. " Ok, ok. I saw you guys kissing. But it's probably wrong, right? You wouldn't do that...would you?"

"No, of course not. Never," she said. But Serena could hear the lie in her words.


After they got back inside, Serena excused herself to get a drink. She didn't want Jimena to see that her premonition had troubled her. She walked over to the snack counter and put down a dollar for a Pepsi. Just as she was about to walk back, her amulet started to glow. She turned quickly, and ran into Cassandra. She looked at Serena murderously.

"Better watch where you're going goddess," said Cassandra dangerously. She turned, but before she walked away, she whispered something in her mind.

And by the way, Stanton is mine.

Crap. How had she gotten into her thoughts so easily? Would she tell Stanton? She wouldn't be able to bear it if he found out.

"You ok, chica? Did she do anything to you?" Jimena asked as she walked over to Serena.

"Um, no, I'm fine. You want to go dance?" Serena asked quickly, changing the subject.

"Sure," answered Jimena.

They walked to the middle of the dance floor, bumping into some people. Then they started to sway to the music, raised their hands over their heads, and moved in time with the beat. Suddenly Jerome butted in between her and Jimena. Before she could protest, Jimena winked at her and danced the other way. Jerome pulled her closer, his eyes lingering over her body. Inwardly, she rolled her eyes.

"I've seen you around. I'm Jerome," he said running his hand through his blonde curls.

He doesn't seem like your type, someone whispered into her mind. She turned quickly to meet Stanton, smiling down at her, his shaggy blonde hair hanging in his eyes. Surprised? he asked. Before she could say anything, he gently took her hand, and pulled her away from Jerome. He started to complain, but Serena didn't notice, because she was lost in Stanton's startling blue eyes.

"I was hoping I'd see you here tonight," he said in her ear once he had pulled her away from Jerome.

"Why is that?" she asked, desperately trying to keep her cool. He pulled her closer and they started dancing.

"I've been thinking about you," he said simply. But before she could respond she was suddenly jerked out of his arms.

"Chica? What the hell are you doing?" asked Jimena, who was already in a battle stance, ready to face Stanton. He winked at Serena, and walked away.

"I, uh, I was, umm…" she stuttered, trying to think of a good excuse.

"And after my premonition! You better be careful…" Jimena all of the sudden got zoned out. Serena had zapped her mind. Then she hid Jimena's memory of her and Stanton. She knew Jimena hated it when she did that, but she didn't want to deal with this right now.

"You were saying?" said Serena.

"Um…I can't remember…" Jimena said dreamily.

"You were saying you were tired. You wanted to go home," said Serena, making it up.

"Um…Yeah, let's get Catty and Vanessa." Jimena was still a little zoned out.

"You get the car. I'll get them." Serena said and went to find Vanessa and Catty.


"Why did we have to leave so early? I was dancing with this really cool guy! That could have been my future boyfriend, but no! We had to leave!"

"Oh really?" asked Vanessa.

"Yeah. We totally connected," said Catty.

"What's his name?" Vanessa asked.

"Umm…Wait I know this! Uhh…" Catty had a thoughtful look.

"Yeah, you connected alright," said Vanessa sarcastically. She and Catty bickered like that for most of the car ride. Serena and Jimena sat in silence.

"Hey, are you guys ok? You seem…out of it. Did something happen at Planet Bang tonight?" Vanessa said.

"No, nothing happened," Serena blurted out a little too quickly.

"Ok," said Vanessa, doubtfully. Jimena dropped Vanessa and Catty off. When she pulled up to Serena's house, she paused.

"See you tomorrow," she said tiredly

"Yeah, bye," Serena said as she stepped out of the car. She shut the door and the car sped off. She walked up the path to her house, searching for her keys in her purse. When she got in Collin was in the kitchen.

"Hey, how was Planet Bang?" he asked.

"Fine," she yelled as she ran up the stairs. She didn't want to talk about how her night was.

She quickly changed into her PJ's and got ready for bed. Just as she was about to turn out the lights, she saw a something in the corner of her room. She got up to see what it was.

"Stanton!" she said in shock. "What are you doing here?" she said, backing up a little.

"We never got to finish our conversation," he said, a sensual smile forming on his lips.

"We have nothing to talk about, Stanton" she sighed. Why wouldn't he just go away? But at the same time she wanted to stay with him.

"Then come with me," he said. He walked up to Serena, pressed her against him, and they dissolved into shadow.
