Wedding Dreams Fulfilled?

Chapter Six: Putting Plans Into Action

Serena had come by three days ago and told Rei that she understood and wasn't mad at her for what happened between her and Darien. Serena had patiently listened to Rei's side and left for about a half an hour to consider both sides of the story, and said she'd rather forget any of it happened because she didn't want her one best friends and her fiancé arguing over something that happened between the two of them, and trying to pin one against the other.

Serena told both Darien and Rei, at the same time, that she was not going to pick between them so they had to work it out on their own. She wanted no part in what happened between them a few days ago. Darien noticed that even though Serena said it didn't bother her every time the event was mentioned it seemed like a physical blow that just kept getting worse with every hit, every reminder. The others noticed it too, but every time someone tried to talk to her about it she nearly bit theirs heads off. Even Darien, she got so mad at his searching for what was wrong, that she canceled their date and avoided him for three days.

Rei was the only one who wasn't trying to pry; she had her own agenda, her plan. Rei finally had her plan ready it was now time to put it into action. After working long and hard with Chad she came up with some thing that might actually work. Though she didn't share her whole plan with Chad cause some of it involved the scouts, a secret she still planned to keep from him.

Part one of the plan . . . get close to Serena and steal the Luna Pen from under her nose.

Serena was seriously starting to freak. There was just so much that went into planning a wedding that she never knew about. Heck, it was hard enough just trying to find a damn wedding planner who didn't cost a fortune and knew what they were doing. Her dad was getting on her case, saying that May was too soon for an eighteen year old and her twenty-one year old boyfriend to be getting married. Sad thing was, she was starting to agree with him. With the way things had been going as of late she would be surprised if the world wasn't destroyed on her wedding day.

Was thinking that a bad omen? Great another thing for her to stress about! May 26was exactly four months and a week away from today. She was aggravated with all her friends, she was just plain irritable. Darien even asked the unforgivable question. Are you PMSing? He'd never asked her that before. Nothing was going right in the world.

She was on her way to meet with the infuriating man this very moment at the Crown. She walked through the familiar doors. The bells as usual signaling her arrival, when she saw the very thing that got on her nerves the most these days. This was the main cause of her problems. Ever since she and Darien got engaged it seemed people noticed them, women were constantly throwing themselves at Darien. I mean they did before, but not like now, it was as if there was some memo going around saying claim now or never, last opportunity. Serena had been having similar problems, guys, and older guys, like college students kept coming up to her. Flirting, asking her out, they even did this right in front of Darien. He didn't like it much, and punched a guy in the face for it once.

Here it was happing again this girl with obviously died blood red hair was literally draped over Darien. Serena could see Darien struggling with the girl and looking for some one, anyone to come rescue him from her. Serena slowly approached the two and Darien noticed her immediately, his attempts to get Red off of him increased tremendously. "Hi muffin," Serena gave Red a pointed look, "Who's your friend?"

Red disentangled herself from Darien and looked Serena over. After about a minute she stuck her nose in the air, and deemed Serena beneath her. "I'm Stephanie," she picked up her purse and opened it, Serena was expecting her to take out a pen and scribbled her name and possibly address on some paper and hand it to Darien. She was not expecting, "Here," she said as she handed Serena a dollar, "go play some video games and let the adults talk." Bitch!

Serena took the money, "Thank you," and stuffed it in her pocket. "Now will you please keep your snake like body away from my fiancé," she said with an all too sweet smile, it was almost frightening.

"Fiancé," she sniffed, "He could do some much better with a real women."

"Were you talking about yourself? I'm sorry Stephanie, was it,but why would he want something fake," she gestured to Red and her died hair and obvious fake tits, "when he could have the real thing." This time she gestured to her curvy body and all natural beauty, long golden-blond hair and clear cerulean eyes. "He already has a real women," she said matter-of-factly.

Red snorted, very unladylike, and handed Darien a business card, "when you get sick of hanging around with children, let me know."

"Not likely," was Darien's response as he shoved the card back in her hand as he stood and put his arm around Serena's waist, "Let's get out of here."

"Finally," Serena gave Stephanie a smug smile, and turn with Darien and left the arcade, leaving behind a fuming Red.

A few days later . . .

The girls decided to go out to a nice restaurant to celebrate. Wedding plans finally undergo. With the help of her mother, Serena was never letting her leave her side until after the wedding ceremony was over, she finally had an experienced wedding planner who knew what she was doing and was guaranteed, by past customers, that she could make her dream wedding real.

Rei decided this would be the perfect time to put her plan in action. All she needed to do was get Serena alone and get her purse away from her. Serena always had the Luna Pen with her, usually in her purse, in case she wanted to play matchmaker or if was an emergency, not likely. But how to get her alone . . .

"I think I'll go to the bathroom," Serena said as she began to get up and grab her purse.

Now seems good . . . Rei got up too, "Yeah me too," she walked with Serena to the bathroom. When they were at the sinks Rei decided it was time to try. "Hey Serena you got some lip balm in your purse?" it was sitting on the sink right between them. Rei pretended to search her own purse, "I don't seem to have any with me."

"I might. Why don't you look, my hands are wet, I need to dry them," when she tuned her back to dry her hands under the air dryer Rei started to dig. The pen wasn't hard to find, it was with the rest of her pens in one of the hidden pockets, just where she knew it would be. She slyly slid the pen up her shirtsleeve, and hid it in the inside of her arm where she was almost positive Serena wouldn't notice. She zipped up the pocket quickly, as Serena turned back around.

"Found it!" Rei exclaimed and pulled out the small tin of lip balm. She hurriedly applied it and tossed it back in Serena's purse, then handed itto her. "Thanks. My lips were starting to get really chapped."

"It's what girlfriends are for," she smiled sweetly, "Let's get back before they come looking for us."

"Good idea," Rei said as Serena walked out of the restroom. "Part one complete," Rei smiled to herself and stuck the Luna Pen in her purse and hid it well. She pulled out her cell phone, and dialed Chad. "Hey Chad part one is done, now I'm gonna need your help . . . you know what's next right? . . . Yea . . . okay great, see you when I get back, bye," she hung up and went to join the rest of her friends and their 'celebration' for their happy leader.

Author Notes: Okay I'm giving you guys permission to kill me. I know it's been over a month, but hear me out. Please. Here's the deal, about a week after I wrote the last chapter I hit serious writer's block, but I soon found out it wasn't just writer's block. I had lost my muse. I couldn't do anything that involved any kind of creativity. I couldn't write, I couldn't draw, not a good thing for an art major, had the toughest time trying to do homework, all my sketches came out crap. I couldn't even help my friend bounce ideas off me for her story. I finally found my muse about a week ago, but I had midterms and couldn't write so I am sorry. Really sorry considering I don't really think this chapter is all that great and it's short. Please give me a break this is the first thing I've written in about a month.i'm out of practice.I have no idea when I'll have next chapter ready so don't kill me. Please. Any way tell me your opinion; you all know I love to hear from you. Please review!

Til next time . . .

Later
