Disclaimer: For the last time, I DON"T OWN SAILOR MOON! Okay, maybe not the last time.
"For the last time jerkwad, leave me alone or I swear I will kick your ass." Rei ground out.
The recipient of her insult and threat stood in front of her with an infuriating grin.
"Come on Rei, I promise that you will enjoy yourself. No, I KNOW that you will enjoy yourself. Loosen up girl. I tell you…"
"Jayden
McMillan! I told you once and I'll tell again..and again… and
AGAIN! I. Don't. Want. To. Go. Out. With. You! Capisce?" She
stomped away. Her face turned red and she clenched her fists when she
heard the arrogant man yell out.
"One day Rei. One day!"
"Insolent piece of crap..frickin stupid stinkin…." She muttered as she turned the corner.
Jayden, better know as Jay, stood there staring at the spot he last saw her.
"Some day…" He whispered and walked the opposite direction. His thoughts of a raven-haired hellcat were interrupted as he heard a cheerful "Hiya!"
He jumped at the sound and turned to the direction of the maker of the sound. His eyes clashed with a pair of clear cerulean eyes in a head that was cocked to the side.
"Have you ever watched Finding Nemo?"
"Huh?" Jay replied, confused by the topic the silver-headed imp threw at him.
"Have. You. Ever. Watched. Finding. Nemo?" Serena enunciated for him.
"What is it with you Senshias and your enunciation?"
"Well have you?" He shook his head in irritation. He replied in the affirmative though he expressed his confusion as to why it was important.
"Well. Do you remember the blue fish Dory?" A nod. "Well…just think of me as your own personal Dory." A baffled look answered the statement. "Remember her song? Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..swimming, swimming." Serena bawled out shaking her head to an unheard accompaniment.
Still another baffled look. " Just keep swimming. Don't give up on Rei. She 's stubborn and she has been hurt before that's why she acts like she hates you. You. My discouraged Marlin, are a threat to her. " Jay gave Serena's words some thought.
"Why would I be a threat?"
"Its like this. People who are not worth her time, what she says you are, she does not even waste time on. She sees you as a person who has potential. To get close to her. And to hurt to her. Capisce?"
Understanding
dawned in the blond man's blue eyes. He grinned goofily and grabbed
the petite girl into a clumsy bear hug.
"Thanks!"
"Erm…Jay?"
"Yeah?"
He replied still crushing her small form to himself, his eyes closed
in contented bliss.
"I can't…um…really breathe."
He
immediately dropped Serena; unfortunately, she was unprepared for the
sudden release and fell right on her derriere. She peered up at him
with a pout.
"Sorry, sorry." He pulled her up. "Hey. I'll
see you around babe." He started walking away when he felt a tug on
his sleeve.
"You owe me." Serena stated.
"Huh?"
"You. Owe.."
"I heard you. Whaddaya mean I owe you?"
"Well I have to get some compensation for my good works."
Jay burst out in laughter. Serena stood there with an indulgent smile on her face and finally said when the laughs were fewer in frequency.
"I like chocolate."
"Do you know the Arcade?"
"Yes! Its my favoritest place. I love their shakes. They…" The excited girl continued chattering as she pulled Jay in the direction of said arcade. He shook his head and followed after her.
