Home for the Holidays
Serena paced around her old bedroom as images of her old days ran across her mind as she tried to sort out what she needed to do in her thoughts.
'Okay, Serena,' she began in her head, 'First you have to call your lawyer, FORGET ABOUT DARIEN, call the other girls, FORGET ABOUT DARIEN, take Sammy Christmas shopping for the parents, and, most importantly, FORGET ABOUT DARIEN!' Groaning as yet another thought of Darien flashed through her mind, Serena threw herself on the pink comforter that was sprinkled with white, fluffy bunnies and dozed off into a dreamless sleep.
------------------------------------
Across town, in a lonely and bare walled apartment, a man sat on black leather couch, holding in his hands what appeared to be glass angel figurine. His eyes held sadness that had continually been bottled up for years as he held back tears that threatened to spill from his midnight blue eyes. Slowly turning the figurine in his hands while he shifted through his thoughts, his lips curved up into a small smile as he formulated a plan to win his lost angel back.
'I'm going to need help though,' he thought, 'Damn… Well, I guess I'm going to have to call on the Scary 4 for their assistance.'
He placed the angel figurine down on the coffee table in front of him and reached into his pocket and withdrew his cell phone from it. Flipping his cell phone open, he began to look through his address book for the numbers of the four women he was thinking of.
------------------------------------
On the other side of town in an expensive hotel, a man that looked so much like our hero was forming an evil plan of his own which concerned our heroine.
------------------------------------
Serena slowly awoke to the sound of voice's coming from the outside her bedroom door. Keeping her eyes closed, she smiled as she slowly took in the voices and recognized them belonging to her 4 best friends whom she hadn't seen in years, with the exception of Rei, of course. She silently listened to her friends' arguments and she had a sinking suspicion that it concerned her.
"So, She's Married… AUGH!" exclaimed a voice she knew belonged to her fellow blonde, Mina. "She should have married Darien, not this Seiya character! What do we know about him anyway? Even his name sounds fishy! Are you sure we can't kill him?"
Serena heard someone let out an exasperated sigh and then the intelligent reasoning from her dear friend, Amy, "You know, Mina, we can't just kill the man just because he is married Serena."
"Besides," chimed in Rei's voice, "I'm not allowed. My kids told my husband what I said earlier and he said that if I even yelled at him, he would take the kids to go see a therapist because their mommy was crazy and it wouldn't be fair for you guys to have all the fun."
Serena could just picture Amy's reaction to Rei's statement in her mind.
"Hey," piped up the voice that belonged to the best cook Serena knew, Lita, "I say we do something much worse to him than killing him." Intrigued, Rei and Mina both quickly asked, "What?" Sounding pleased with their inquiring, she continued, "I say we castrate him. What's worse for a man than losing his manhood?"
A collective gasp could be heard from the girls and then some evil snickering.
Amy seemed to have cleared her throat to gain the attention of the scheming girls. "I think we should consult Serena on this issue. After all, he IS her husband."
"We would, Amy," replied Lita, "But Serena is asleep and I would think it best for us not to wake her up right now."
"Please," scoffed Rei, "Meatball Head has been asleep for long enough. I say we go in there and wake her up!"
"Hey!" joined Mina, "I know that beauty sleep is the most essential thing a girl needs! I say we let her rest."
"Are sure she's not just lazy, Miss Model?" retorted Rei.
After listening to friends bicker on whether they should go in and wake her or let her continue to sleep, Serena finally decided to fully wake herself from her little nap and greet her friends who were eagerly waiting to see her after the years they hadn't seen each other. When she finally opened the door, her friends stopped their chatter and looked towards the doorway.
The other blonde, Mina, who was dressed in a pink designer sundress, suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream and ran up to Serena, engulfing her into a hug and shrilled, "Oh my God, Serena! I have missed you SO much! I'm sorry, did we wake you?" Patting the woman on the back, Serena laughed as she replied, "Yeah, I missed you, too, Mina, and no, you didn't wake me." Next, Lita came up saying, "Hey Mina, don't keep her all to yourself." With those words, Mina reluctantly let Serena out of the embrace.
Serena then turned to Lita, the tallest of the 4 girls, whose brunette hair was up in a pony tail, showing off her rose-shaped earrings. The white chef's apron she was wearing was lightly dusted with flour, enveloped her into a bone-crushing hug. "Damn, girl," started Lita, "You've gotten very thin. Are you eating enough?" Seeing that the woman couldn't answer due to the lack air, Rei spoke up, "Hey Lita, let go of poor Meatball Head there go. She can't breathe." Realizing that her grasp was a little too tight, Lita unwrapped her arms from around the grateful blonde. Catching her breath, Serena replied to Lita's question, "Yes, I have been eating well, much better than before, actually." With an incredulous look on her face, Lita stepped back to let someone else have a turn.
Next, a short blue-haired doctor, wearing a lab coat, came up and gave Serena a hug. "My, you look so grown up," sarcastically commented in awe as they parted. A smile crept upon her lips as Serena rolled her eyes before responding, "Ha-ha, very funny, Amy." Amy just smiled back in response.
"Oh, she looks hungry! I knew I should have baked more cookies and I highly doubt that her appetite has decreased despite her thinness!" exclaimed Lita to Amy. Her All the girls chuckled as Serena gave a pout at the off-handed comment.
"Well, Lita, I must inform you that I don't eat THAT much anymore," replied Serena. The others girls raised an eyebrow at her statement before she continued, "I only have 5 cookies in one sitting now instead of the usual 15 as in the past." The girls burst out laughing at the blonde's added comment.
Within minutes everyone had told their most important story of the last 10 years and all 4 five girls were up to speed with each other's lives.
Mina was now a world famous super model and was engaged to her manager. Amy was a heart doctor and married to the CEO of the local hospital. Lita was a widow considering Ken had died 5 years earlier in a hit and run accident and now all the family that she had left was her little girl that she had named Serena. Rei, of course, was married to Chad and had twins.
When it came to Serena's turn, she told them about Seiya and the last couple of years in hell.
During the middle of her story, all the girls' cell phones went off. Looking bewildered at all the girls, Serena looked at each of the other girls as they answered what was their interruptions about. "Hospital called, gotta go, I'll be back tomorrow Serena," told Amy as she stood up and hugged Serena before leaving the room. "Chad had texted something about Rose setting fire to her brother's hair." -Sweat dropped- "Ja-ne Serena. Be back soon," answered Rei sped out of the room, kicking up a cloud of dust behind her. "Crap, I'm late for my photo shoot. Lita, will you give me a lift?" asked Mina as she hugged Serena and followed Lita, who just waved goodbye to the bewildered Serena, out the door.
------------------------------------
Half an hour later…
Across town Darien opened the door to his apartment, reveling 4 angry looking females behind it.
"This better be good Chiba," stated the tallest one of the 4 women.
"It is, Lita. I need your guys' help" Darien stepped back to let Lita, Mina, Rei, and Amy in his spacious apartment and began to pace back and forth in. "Help with what?" questioned Amy. "I need to get her back," replied Darien. Rei arched an eyebrow and asked, "And why does that concern us?" Darien turned to her with desperate eyes as he answered, "Because I need your help forming a plan." "Let me guess," joined Mina, "Does this plan concern a certain blonde we all know?" Darien nodded his head in response. "Darien, it's been ten years," stated Lita as she looked at Darien with sympathy.
"I know Lita, but I love her," answered Darien, "And besides, you 4 know her best."
Rei glanced around to see the faces of the other girls. Once they nodded in approval, she turned to Darien with thoughtful eyes, ready with their unanimous answer, "Okay Darien, we'll help"
