Thanks to locket101, AngeLic Eyes X22 (really? that makes me feel bad. I thought it was a cute idea.), palikani, sailorstars16, shooting star180, Illusion Glades, Usagi-Tsukino-uf06 (Eventually...Maybe? You'll just have to wait and see.), airdreanna, anangelslife, Princess makkura, and Girl of Darkness. Okay, My last post before school starts. I will try to keep a good updating pace, just please be patient with me; it is hard work to juggle both fan fictions and school. This is 7 pages on Microsoft Word, so no complaining on length.
This is AU, somewhat so no Sailor Moon here.
Love at First Sight
People say that love at first sight is impossible. Is it really or are our emotions deep inside hiding something from us? Knowledge beyond the heart and brain?
Mina and Serena had just exited the dully lit mall; they had gone shopping for the perfect dresses. The perfect, seam line dresses, shoes, and accessories had taken hours of prancing around the mall to find.
They were now heading to a hair and nail salon to finish preparing. Serena was going to wear her hair down for once.
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this." Serena whined while the hair dresser was blow drying her hair.
"Don't you want to impress Darien?" Mina questioned.
"Umm, I don't know." Serena replied. "I don't think he likes me like that, he was just being polite," Serena semi-smiled trying to prove that to her self as well.
"Serena, let's look at the facts. He said he had four tickets. He gave two to Andrew, one inviting me. He has two tickets left right, but he invited you. Who is going to be his date? Who is going to be your date? Why are you so worried about how you look?" Mina rolled her eyes.
Serena didn't want to admit the truth, but she was right. "Whatever you say Mina," Serena dodged her questions.
Mina scuffed, but figured Serena wasn't ready to talk about it yet.
The hair went by without much problem. Serena complained a little here and a little there, but everything pretty much went by smoothly.
The nails…were a different story.
"Gross, what are those things?" Serena whined as the Nail designer put fake nails over her real nails. The lady then added a sugary white cream substance over the fake nails and her own nails. (If you ever got your nails done, then you know what I'm talking about.)
"Sere, it is called Acrylic Nails." Mina laughed. "They can really impress the boys. They look very feminine." Mina rolled her eyes.
"Welcome to the feminine world." Serena added sarcastically.
Mina looked over at her best friend. Serena was always waiting for the perfect boy to dress nice for, and now he is right in front of her and she wouldn't pay attention.
Back into Time a Year or So…
"Hey Sere, I'm going to get my nails done. Do you want to go with me?" Mina sat down in the arcade next to her best friend. She stared at the mop of blond hair in front of her. He was so kawaii.
"I don't really have anyone to impress," Serena said impishly.
"Don't you want to make yourself pretty just to feel pretty?" Mina questioned her friend.
"Andrew, can I have a Chocolate Milkshake?" Serena asked the mop of blond hair, after finally getting his attention. Serena was trying her best to ignore Mina's question for the time being.
"Coming right up," Andrew smirked. "Do you want anything Mina?"
Mina was too busy looking into his eyes to notice he was talking to her.
"Mina?" Serena questioned, playfully shoving her friend off the stool.
"Yes?" Mina questioned.
"Do you want anything?" Serena inquired.
"No, not really," Mina smiled at Andrew.
"Okay…" Andrew drawled out as he walked away. (You know the way I'm talking about, like when you think your friend is crazy, sort of like okayyyyyy.)
Mina frowned. "Eventually you will have to have a boyfriend Serena, and when that time comes you will know where to find me."
"Mina, I promise that when I have someone to dress up for, you will be the first one I call…and I will do whatever you want me to do then, ok?" Serena smiled seeing that her friend had seemingly agreed to the compromise. Serena then pouted, knowing she couldn't dodge her question for long.
Mina had left Serena to her milkshake.
Back in the right time…and at the Nail Salon…
"That hurts," Serena complained as the Nail designer started to shape her nails.
"Serena, stop whining!" Mina looked compassionately at the Designer and whispered sorry. The girl nodded after understanding the facts.
"Why does it hurt?" Serena whimpered.
"Because it is your first time and you're not used to it." Mina rolled her eyes as her designer finished her nails.
Time for the Charity Ball…
Mina had just finished her own makeup. She had gone bold with bright red lips. She was softer on the eyes and used a golden tone to brighten the eyes a little, but wasn't bright enough to overpower the lipstick. Mina had to use a little blush to even out her tone.
Serena had gone a little softer with the lipstick, she instead used lip gloss. She used a soft pink lip gloss on her already full lips. She had added a little lip liner to make them think it was lipstick. She used heavier mascara and some eyeliner to make the eyes appear sparkling, not that her eyes weren't shiny enough. She used a layered eye shadow for a bolder affect.
Serena and Mina were now pacing around upstairs in Mina's bedroom. Mina's bedroom is burnt orange. The things in the room vary in color from Reds to yellows. Mina's bedroom is extremely different from Serena's bedroom, which has light pink walls with white bunnies all over the room. The accessories in Serena's room vary from Reds to Purples.
Serena was just noticing this because she was trying to ignore the butterflies that where in her stomach for the second or third time since she had collided with Darien.
"Why are you so nervous?" Mina had finally stopped pacing and sat down. She urged Serena to follow her and sit down too.
Serena did as suggested and sat down. "That is the problem, I don't know. All I know is that there are butterflies in my stomach and I'm nervous." Serena couldn't look at her friend. She knew what here friend was going to say.
"Oh, you have never been to a charity ball before?" Mina softened her voice to soothe Serena.
Serena blinked; she had expected Mina to go right to the fact that Darien was going to be her date. "No, I have never been to a Charity Ball." Serena sighed.
"It will be fun and you will have a great date." Mina smiled. "I know these kinds of things."
"How can you be certain?" Serena looked into Mina's cornflower blue eyes.
"Give me a reason that I shouldn't be certain?" Mina smirked.
"Do you know that he really likes me?" Serena inquired with a yearning to know the answer.
"All I can say is if you look into the eyes of a guy, you can tell if he likes you." Mina smiled.
"How will you know?" Serena seemed to decide to become a detective.
"His eyes will look like they want to give you the world if he really likes you and cares about you." Mina seemed happy with her answer and started to fiddle with her camera, so she could get pictures of the ball.
Serena smiled at the answer. She whispered, "I guess I will just have to find out."
Mina heard Serena's whisper. She acted like she didn't hear it though. Serena seemed to want to keep that thought private.
Mina knew how to get stubborn people to admit the truth. Just let them figure it out their self. If Mina questioned Serena directly, Serena would have automatically thrown that idea out. Mina approached the idea indirectly so Serena could get the answer she needed and feel like she wasn't giving out a secret. She did like Darien, she was just afraid to get hurt again.
Some Where Else…
Darien took a deep breath. "Do you think that Serena will mind being my date?"
"I thought you had planned it like that," Andrew replied confused.
"Well, sort of, but I'm not certain if she likes me." Darien stared at his outfit in the mirror.
"Don't worry about that, just have fun with her." Andrew fixed Darien's crooked tie. Darien was such a nervous wreck that he had stood in front of the mirror for five minutes and still hadn't noticed that his tie was crooked. For anyone else it wouldn't appear as anything was wrong, but for Darien it meant something was deafly wrong. Darien was picky. He liked everything neat. His apartment didn't look like a bachelor pad, it look… what is that word for it… unusual. He didn't even have a maid. He did it all his self. He scared several girls away because they thought he was…well not straight.
"I really like her, Andrew." Darien frowned, "I'm just worried about getting hurt."
"She wouldn't and couldn't hurt a fly, and I don't think that she will break your heart, Darien." Andrew smiled.
"I hope so." Darien smiled.
Okay, I'm starting to build a little plot. This was just a chapter where they admitted their feelings. I really didn't know what to write for the Ball. Well, school starts Tuesday so I will update whenever I can. Please Review and please give memoreideas about the Charity Ball, even though I have a few, I need more.
