Darien sat at his usual chair, drinking his usual cup of coffee when the Arcade doors slide open to a loud chorus of "Yee-haaaws" and "Whooooos!" He turned his head slightly to see a group of cowgirls enter and sit at Serena's usual booth. His bristled in anger at the thought of anyone else sitting there but smothered the emotion. Why should he care. As he was turning back to face Andrew he saw the pink clad cow-girl jump out of the booth and head over to the counter. He sniffed disdainfully in her direction and took a long sip of coffee.

"Hey Andrew!" Serena's voice yelled and Darien turned to look for her entering the Arcade. To his shock, the voice had come from the pink cowgirl and he started coughing on last sip. "What do you think?"

"Looks great Serena" Andrew replied, ignoring his choking friend. "Might I ask why you and your friends are dressed cowgirls?"

"Oh! It's spirit week at school and Monday was Wild West Day. Yee-haaaw!" she yelled and sat down next to Darien and indicated the huge banner hanging above the counter. Darien glanced up and saw the whole list of the weeks' themes . "And let me guess the exact words that would come out of you mouth in about 3 seconds Darien. 'Cowgirls? Shouldn't you be in a cow suit then? The look would fit you better.' Am I right?"

To her surprise Darien started choking again, but this time with laughter. Serena glanced at him oddly, ordered 5 milkshakes, and with one last look at the crazy man on the stool, headed back to her table. Darien took a deep breath and steadied himself. Sure, that skirt was real short and her pink vest showed a creamy streak of midriff and her golden hair was in one giant braid that swished around her calves, but who was he to notice. It was just Meatball head. Snorting air like a bull he stood up and went over to Serena's table to make a joke. He was about three steps away when she noticed him and tipped her hat in greeting.

"Hello pardner." she giggled out and her whole group started screaming in laughter. Darien thought about what he had been going to say and realized no joke would faze her when she was so enjoying her outfit.

"Oh Serena, just to let you know. Cowgirls have always been a turn-on for me." he smugly stated and started to leave the Arcade. Serena stared at him open-mouthed for a second and Darien turned around at the doors. "Oh, and I can't waited for Treasure Island Day tomorrow. Are you gonna be a beautiful Mermaid or sultry Pirate Queen?" and left the building.

I saw Wild West and remembered my school spirit week and had to write this. Do you guys think I should do the whole spirit week?
