Darien held Serena's hand as he tried to lead her towards the arcade. Serena peeked out often, so Darien decided to put his hand over her eyes. Serena then began to throw a verbal fit, never shutting up. Darien once again wondered why he did these things for Serena. Oh yeah, love.
"Oh no!" cried out Andrew.
"What?" Mina asked.
"I was suppose to prepare some drinks and dessert for Darien and Serena before they got here, which should be in 5 minutes!"
"Oh, so that's where they're going?"
"Yes! Mina, can you please help me?"
"Yeah sure, no need to beg."
Mina and Andrew began to clean up the mess they made on the floor. After that, Andrew changed aprons and prepared a chocolate mud cake while Mina cleaned the counters.
"You know, I'll just set up the ingredients for the drinks, and make it right in front of them later." Said Andrew.
"That's a good idea."
"Thanks!" smiled Andrew. "I always have good ideas."
Mina sat down on a stool.
"Whew, that was quick. Hard, but quick."
"Yeah, Well, we have time now until Serena and Darien come. Want to play some video games?" asked Andrew.
"Sure!" smirked Mina. "I'm so going to beat you."
"Oh really?" questioned Andrew. "Well, I guess we'll find out."
The 2 ran over to a shooting game with a red and blue gun.
"I call red!" shouted Andrew.
"Fine with me." Stated Mina.
Andrew and Mina began the game, and Mina was already winning within 30 seconds.
"Wow, you're really good." Said Andrew. "No fair!"
He faced Mina and shot his gun.
"Pow!" he said, laughing.
"Hey!" Said Mina. "Play fair!"
Serena and Darien turned the corner to the arcade. When Darien saw Andrew and Mina inside the arcade, he stopped, dazed, and slowly began again. Serena, noticing the stop, peeked through her fingers. She saw Mina and Andrew playing together in a shooting game.
"Oh, they'd make a great couple!" she thought excitedly. "But it'll have to wait; I'm on a date with Darien right now!"
Andrew glanced out the window.
"Here they come!" he shouted. Mina ran to the opposite exit, and Andrew dashed to the counter. He nodded to Mina as she turned around and waved.
"I'll see you later, Mina!"
"Yeah! I had a great time, Andrew!"
"Same here. Maybe we can do this again sometime?"
"I'd love to!" responded Mina.
"Me too…" said Andrew, waving good-bye. Mina gave a quick kiss to her hand and blew the kiss to Andrew and winked. It was her trademark…
"But this time," thought Mina, "It might be something more than a trademark."
Serena saw Mina blow the kiss to Andrew. She hoped it wasn't just her usual good-bye.
"Maybe it's time to play match-maker," thought Serena. "Maybe a little later on, when they're ready."
"Here we are!" stated Darien. "The arcade!"
"Oh, I've got this tingly feeling!" squealed Serena. They opened the door to a clean arcade and a chocolate cake with 2 clear glasses already served. The counter was sparkling with the setting sun, and the lights on the arcade games blinked happily.
"Hey, guys!" smiled Andrew.
"Hey, Andrew!" said Darien, smiling back.
"What would you 2 lovebirds like to have to drink?" asked Andrew.
"A double chocolate milkshake!" cried Serena.
"I thought so," laughed Andrew. He took out 4 scoops of ice cream and some coco powder, milk and vanilla flavouring. He poured them together in the glasses, and placed a cap on top. Then, with one glass in both hands, he shook, twirled and spun the glasses in between his fingers and hands, getting cheers from Serena and Darien.
"Voila!" said Andrew, proudly. "2 Double chocolate milkshakes! Oops! I almost forgot!"
He reached under the counter and pulled out chocolate syrup and sprinkles.
"The double chocolate!"
He poured a thick layer of syrup and sprinkles on top of Serena's milkshake, but not Darien's since he didn't want any.
"Enjoy!" laughed Andrew. "Oh, and the arcade games, mademoiselle, are free. Courtesy of Darien."
Andrew bowed to the couple.
"Cheers!" said Serena and Darien. The twisted their arms together and drank. Serena's drink went a bit too far back, and a huge chunk of ice cream and chocolate slowly dripped on to her pants. The sounds of crying came from the arcade as Serena made a big fuss over her pants. Darien and Andrew laughed, trying to get the chocolate off of her.
Rei and Lita turned the corner to Rei's temple when the spotted a guy sleeping on the bench just on the border. His chest rose and sunk heavily, showing that he was in a heavy sleep. The girls just laughed it off as the walked inside the temple to get the cleaning supplies. When they got in, the 2 girls saw Rei's grandpa making shadow puppets against the privacy screen.
"Grandpa, I thought you were suppose to be working!" said Rei sternly.
"I know but I was just so bored!" he complained.
"Well, Lita and I are here now, so you better help us! It was nice enough of Lita to come in the first place!" shouted Rei.
"It was no problem, Rei, really." Argued Lita politely.
"Oh I know Lita, but my grandpa doesn't seem to!"
Lita laughed. "Let's just get started."
The 3 grabbed buckets, sponges, towels, and other cleaning supplies and walked out of the temple.
"Rei, let's scrub the floors. It could be hard on your grandpa's back." Offered Lita.
"Hard? Back? That sounds like an old man! I'm not old! Never old! Only wise!" said Rei's grandpa.
"Grandpa, why don't you clean the walls?"
"What? I'm an old man! You don't expect me to clean the walls without my back aching? You ungrateful child!"
"Grandpa, just do it. It's your home, you need to take care of it." Sighed Rei, beginning to scrub the floors.
"You live with this every day?" asked Lita, getting down on her knees to join Rei.
"Pretty much." She sighed.
The boy on the bench slowly began to wake up, hearing voices coming from near by. He slowly stammered to his feet, rubbing his head and eyes. He saw the roof of the temple, and began to walk toward it. Maybe he could stay there for a few nights. When the boy got closer to the temple, he saw 2 girls scrubbing the floor. He couldn't see their faces, but from behind they seemed pretty…the boy shook his head. It wasn't right to stare.
Grandpa suddenly sprung from the rooftops, a cape on his back fluttering in the wind. He rolled multiple times in the air before landing in front of the boy, scared out of his wits.
'Hiee….yah!" shouted Grandpa, pushing one hand in front on him and the other one back, ending in a karate like pose. The boy was push slightly and fell back like a stick.
"Grandpa!" cried Rei, furious with her Grandfather. "What did I say about attacking visitors!"
"He could be evil!" shouted Grandpa. Lita laughed.
"The poor kid!" sighed Rei, rushing to the boy's side. Lita followed.
"It seems like he had a nasty shock." Stated Lita.
"Hey kid, are you alright?" asked Rei.
"Rei, be careful!" said Grandpa.
"Grandpa, just go continue cleaning." Said Rei.
Rei's grandfather walked away, doing back flips, cartwheels, and jumps in the air, screaming out random shouts now and then. The boy began to stir, and the 2 girls sighed in relief.
"I've got to go now," said Lita, once the boy moved. "I told my mom I'd be home before supper. See yeah, Rei!"
"Bye, Lita, thanks for the help!" waved Rei. She turned her attention back to the boy. "Are you OK?" she asked. "Can you hear me?"
The boy's eyes opened slowly, and when they landed on Rei, he fully awoke.
"I'm so sorry!" he said. "I was just resting and then this guy attacked me and I just wanted to stay here a couple of nights because I really need the rest! I'll do anything to stay! Please, keep me here at your temple."
"Woah woah," said Rei, helping the guy up. "Of course you can stay here. What brought you here anyways?"
"I was leaving for a vacation and happened to fall asleep here. It's just so peaceful and quiet; I thought it was a good place to rest. I didn't know there were old creepy men here."
"My Grandpa is not old!"
"Oops, sorry lady."
"Don't call me lady!"
"Then what do I call you, man?"
"No!" Rei sighed. "Just, call me Rei."
"Rei? Cool name, mine's Mark."
"Nice to meet you, Mark." Said Rei, cooling down.
"You know, you've got quiet the temper. I like that."
"Don't get started on that subject," warned Rei, a grim shadow falling slowly on her face. She wasn't the one to mess around with at heart. She was strict and quick tempered.
"Sorry lady- I mean, Rei. So anyways, can I stay here?"
"Yeah, follow me. I'll show you to a spare room." Said Rei, leading Mark in to the temple.
I wish to meet you again next time
Love is more selfish the deeper it gets
