Book Two: The Spot Light Cries For Me

Chapter Eighteen: What You Do About Me

Darien sat next to Andrew and Sam in a large room that was painted purple with black leather furniture and a steel table on top of a hot pink carpet. He looked around nervously knowing where he was and possibly why he had to be there.

He looked himself over making sure he was dressed properly, but seeing as both of her guitarists right now dressed sloppily, he was sure he was dressed better with his black slacks with frayed hems, bare foot, with a red t-shirt and his hair gelled back.

Andrew looked just as nervous, playing with the button on his khaki cargo shorts and Rita straightening his white tank top. Andrew bent over quickly to retie his converse before sitting back up and playing with the snap on his pant's pocket again.

But Sam looked the most relaxed wearing a grin, a hemp necklace, black vans and frayed jean shorts. Darien shook his head and smiled.

Serena poked her head out of one of three doors, one led out into the hall. He wasn't so sure where the other two led. "Ok guys…" She said "Go in that door, I'll give you instructions when you're in there."

All three of them went in and saw that it was a recording studio. Darien smiled and checked out all of the instruments.

"Ok guys." Serena's voice said from over the speakers. "Pick up your instruments and play something for us please."

Darien nodded as each of them got their instruments. Darien turned back to the guys and with the look in his eyes he knew he was going to embarrass himself and the other for her. He turned around and stepped up to the microphone.

The beat started, heavy techno coming from Andrew followed quickly by Sam's base and Darien's electrical playing a remix of M2M's pretty boy. One of Serena's favorite songs and one she remade herself.

"I lie awake at night, see things in black and white I've only got you inside my mind. You know you have made me blind! I lie awake and pray that you will look my way! I have all this longing in my heart; I knew it right from the start! Oh my pretty, pretty girl I love you like I never ever loved no one before you! Pretty, pretty girl of mine just tell me you love me too! Oh my pretty, pretty girl I need you, oh my pretty, pretty girl I do! Let me inside, make me stay right beside you!" Darien smiled rocking with the beat smiling at the tinted glass.

Victor smiled at Serena. "They're even better in person. I have to say, that they do know your style better. You remade this song…but I believe he is singing to you Serena."

Serena laughed, "I guess…or he just doesn't want to seem like a homo."

Darien closed his eyes and opened them imagining in his mind that Serena was right in front of him listening to his words willing to take to him back and it made him put more effort into the song "I used to write your name, and put it in a frame. And sometime I think I hear you call right from my bedroom wall! You stay a little while and touch me with your smile. And what can I say to make you mine? To reach out for you in time? Oh my pretty, pretty girl I love you like I never ever loved no one before you! Pretty, pretty girl of mine just tell me you love me too! Oh my pretty, pretty girl I need you! Oh my pretty, pretty girl I do! Let me inside, make me stay right beside you!"

Darien heard himself through the speakers and heard his own desperation for Serena as he sang the bridge "Oh pretty girl say you love me too!"

"Oh my pretty, pretty girl I love you like I never ever loved no one before you! Pretty, pretty girl of mine just tell me you love me too! Oh my pretty, pretty girl I need you! Oh my pretty, pretty girl I do! Let me inside, make me stay right beside you!" Darien and the boys finished the song and Darien took a step back and took in a deep breath.

But none of them had ever been happier to hear three little words ever "You are hired!" Victor said excitedly "all three of you!"

Serena came in and hugged all three of them. "Now comes the heart ache of my other band…you guys go with Victor. I have three uncomfortable phone calls to make."

Serena laughed with Rei, Mina, Lita and Michelle as she showed them the dance moves to her songs because they wanted to dance on stage with her, Amy talking with Serena's normal light technician showing him previous shows she had done for Serena.

Serena hummed as she continued to teach them the moves, Darien, Andrew and Sam sat around trying to learn the songs Serena had written down for them to memorize first. Pretty Boy, Stars Are Blind, Caribbean Influence and a few others.

Serena laughed "I feel like I should be running around screaming about Mickey…but I'm missing my Yuki…I need a Yuki to kick me and call me an idiot when I try and kiss him after doing something dumb."

"You and your manga…" Lita said shaking her head. "But I have to admit, I like Gravitation."

Amy looked up and blinked. "Subtract the fact the Serena is a girl and not a gay boy, and there is no blonde writer that she's in love with…this is kind of like a Gravitation scenario. Techno style music, teenage pop star making it big, Disneyland."

Serena grinned and started dancing while singing pretty boy. "Oh my pretty, pretty boy I love you like I never ever loved no one before you! Pretty, pretty boy of mine just tell me you love me too! Oh my pretty, pretty boy I need you! Oh my pretty, pretty boy I do! Let me inside, make me stay right beside you!"
