Serena's P.O.V

"What was that all about?" Mina asked after a whole block of silence.

"Nothing," I said, going through the sliding doors of Lita's apartment. Rini was right beside me, giving me a look that clearly asked, 'Do you think we should tell them?' I let out a sigh and went to wait for the girls, by the elevators. We all got on one that was empty. The doors closed and we were silent for a moment. "Do you guys really wanna know?" They all looked at me. I could tell they were dieing to know but they didn't wanna pressure me into anything. "Darien broke up with me." There plain and simple. The girls, with the exception of Mina, looked at me with shocked faces.

"…I knew something was going on…but I just thought that Darien was in the dog house or something…" At that moment we heard a ding and the doors opened. We got out and followed Lita to her place. Once Rini was in and the doors closed everything exploded.

"What do you mean he broke up with you! I'll break his nose!"

"Are you sure? Maybe he just had a tough day and you, being you, said something stupid that made him upset."

"He wouldn't do that! It's illogical for someone to go from love crazy to…to breaking up with you the next day!"

"We'll just have to get him back!"

"Told you Mina would say that!"

The girls all looked at Rini and all asked at once, "You knew?"

"Umm…no…?" Oh that was smart. Like they're going to believe that. Rini must have guessed too because then she let out a sigh and said, "Ok, ok. I knew but just this afternoon Serena and I decided to get Darien back!"

There was silence and then Mina yelled, "Yay! Rematch making! I know! You can make Darien jealous with some other guy!" Rini and I shared a told-you-so look. "I know the perfect guy for the job! He's-"

"Mina!" Amy interrupted. "You haven't even asked Serena." Thank you Amy! "What do you think Serena? I mean, Rini said you were going to get him back but when you saw him you were acting cold."

"…Well…to tell the truth, I don't know why. When I saw him I just got mad at him. I don't know why. It was just a…a…reaction, I guess. A reaction of not being able to e in his arms…" I looked down at my shoes and could feel all of their eyes on me. It was embarrassing but also a great relief to finally be able to tell some one. I felt arms around me and I looked up to see deep, dark, blue eyes. For a second I thought I was going crazy and I was imagining Darien but then I realized it was Amy's blue eyes. Then I felt 3 more pair of arms hug me and one pair hug my lower body. We stayed like that for a minute. A bunch of teenage girls and a little 8-year-old hugging like the world was gonna end.

"So…Mina, who is this guy?" I asked when we pulled away.

Mina gave me a big smile and said, "My second cousin, Dave! He's visiting me from England. If you want I can call him and have him meet us at the movies and then we can discuss our plan afterwards."

"Are you sure he won't mind? I mean, I don't want to lead him into anything." Well duh! I might go along with this plan but I don't want to hurt anyone.

"Don't worry! He's part of the Aino family, which means he's a match making expert. Besides he'll do anything for his favorite cousin." Hmm…that does sound pretty good. Why not?

"All right but just don't go over bored with him. I mean don't force him if he doesn't want to," I said getting up and handing the phone over to her.

"Of course! I would never force anyone into anything." Yeah right. The girls must have thought so too cause we all shared glances.

"Well, while Mina is calling Dave, lets get ready!" Lita said and ran off to her room.

"I get dibs on the bathroom!" I yelled and ran to the bathroom with my bag. When I got out I had light pink capree pants with flowers along the sides. I had a white t-shirt with a big pink flower right in the middle. It had just the right amount of sprinkles spread out o the flower. I had put on some clear lip gloss and a bit of eye liner. I didn't really like makeup that much…hmm; maybe Darien wanted one of those girly girls that like wearing a ton of make up.

I found all the girls in the living room doing hair and laughing. Amy was helping Mina untangle her hair, which had somehow gotten tangled with the phone cord. Once she got untangled she started brushing her hair. "Soooo…?" I asked, waiting for Mina to tell how it went.

"…Weeelllllll…He said he'd do it! He'll meet us at the movies in less than an hour." Mina said, with her usual perky smile. I smiled too. Things were looking up. The next half hours were spend dressing, doing hair, and putting on makeup.

Mina has on a black mini skirt with a beige/peach colored blouse. Raye had on a red dress that stopped about 2 inches before reaching her knees. She also had a black belt that hung loosely around her hips. Lita decided on forest green pants with a short sleeved, electric lime blouse. Amy had on navy blue jeans and a dark t-shirt, Rini had on a sleeves yellow shirt with pink capree pants that matched her hair. She had on yellow socks and pink sneakers. They all decided to keep their hairstyles the same and just get rid of the tangles.

When we finally finished we headed out toward the movie theater. We were a few yards away from the main doors when Mina called out to a guy in blue jeans and a black button up shirt over a white t-shirt. "Dave! Sorry we're late. You know how long it takes us girls to get ready." As we got closer I could see he had a lighter shade of blond hair compared to Mina's. It was cut in a stylish sort of way that left his bangs falling over his eyes. His hair sort of reminds me of Darien's bangs but Darien's are a bit shorter. He had blue eyes that were so light that they almost looked white. He let out a laugh. It was a gentle genuine laugh.

"I don't know about girls, but yes, I know how long it takes YOU to get ready." Mina smacked him playfully on the arm and introduced us to him. "Oh, so you're my new girlfriend," he said with a smile. Wait…girlfriend!…Mina! I stared daggers at her which she ignored. Dave ignored it too and took me by surprise when he took my hand and gently kissed it. Wow, Darien's the only one that has ever done that. Wonder what he'd do or say if he saw me now. "Dave Aino at our service, Serena." He gave me a smile and pulled me and Mina to him. He put his arms around both of our waists and we entered like that with the girls and Rini behind us.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Darien's P.O.V

I have to make an appointment with my eye doctor. I saw a strange guy kiss my Serena's hand. I pulled myself together as I realized that I wasn't imagining anything. What did he think he was doing with my Serena! My horror doubled when he pulled her and Mina to him. How can she let him do that! No one was allowed to touch her except me! I got up from the table of the restaurant that was across the street from the theater and left some bills.

I crossed the street to the movie theater and wondered is it a date? It can't be! Why would the girls AND RINI go with her? He has blond hair, for all I know he could be Serena's relative. I looked at all the move choices and wondered which one they would see. It couldn't be a girly movie because that guy wouldn't have gone with them. If he did, he id one brave soul. It can't be a violent movie; Amy is too responsible to let Serena bring Rini.

Then it popped into my mind. Duh! Why didn't I think of it? The new Sailor V movie! I bought my ticket and went in. Sure enough they were all there. Including that guy. Good thing I wasn't wearing my green jacket they all know and love…well at least know. I made sure to sit near the very back. I kept my eyes on them and my blood boiled when his arm went around Serena's shoulder…If he does anything to hurt her I'll kill him!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yay! You guys can't yell at me now! And just for the record I DO love Darien's green jacket! Well what ya guys think? I know, I know, I took forever to post this up. But I had stuff I needed to prepare for next year, my first year of high school. Please guys review and tell what you think.
