Serena and her friends were sitting in the arcade eating pizza.  Of course since they were all girls they were discussing the latest gossip. Well, they were mostly talking about the spring dance, which was that night, and who was going with whom.

"I asked Ken last week, and he of course said he would go with me." Lita informed the group for the fifteenth time in the last two hours.
"Amy did you finally get the nerve to ask Greg to go with you?" Mina asked, the shy one of the group.
"I just do not comprehend the point of the ladies asking the gentlemen to the last dance of the year.  I was always told that the men should
ask the ladies."
"Come on Amy, it's just for fun!  You know something crazy and different!"  Serena said.
"So did you ask him?" Raye asked Amy.
"Yes, he said he would go with me."  Amy said while blushing.
"That wasn't to hard, now was it?" Lita said while gentle nudging Amy.
"Hey Mina are we still on for tonight?" Andrew said while refilling everyone's drinks.
"Yep, I'll pick you up around seven."
"Sounds great, see you girls there." Then he left them not really caring all too much about girlie gossip.
"You asked Andrew to go with you?"  Lita said in amazement.
"I told you that I would.  He seemed delighted that I asked him."
"Chad said he would go with me, after I promised not to yell at him to loudly while we were there."  Raye said sheepishly.
"That's great Raye, the two of you will have a great time."  Serena said to one of her bestest friends.
"And who are you going with Serena?"  Raye asked.
"No one."  Serena said straight out.
"That is so a lie.  You're the prettiest and the most popular girl in school, I'm sure every guy was around you this week waiting for you to ask them."  Mina said.
"Sure they were around me, I couldn't get away, but that's not the point.  I don't want to go to the dance with any of them."
"You are going to the dance right?"  Amy asked.
"I'm not sure."
"You just have to go."  Lita said.
"Let's make a bet on it, shall we?"  Raye asked.
"And what would that be?" Serena asked not really interested.
"If you show up, alone, we'll each pay you a dollar.  But if you show up with the next guy that walks through that door, we'll give you a total of forty bucks."  Raye said winking at the other girls.
"And what if I don't do either?"  Serena asked.
"You will give us forty-four bucks." 
"Fine, tell me when the next guy walks through that door!"  Serena said.
"Ok, there he is now."  Lita said as she saw him walk through the door.

There still in the door way stood a very handsome man.  Standing about, if not over, six feet with jet black hair.  He was dressed casually, but very sophistically, at the same time.  When he took a quick glance around the arcade, his deep blue eyes rested only a second on Serena then continued on until he found Andrew on the other side of the counter.

"Who is he?"  Amy asked.
"He is so FINE!"  Mina committed.
"You know he looks a lot like..."
"Your Ex-Boyfriend!" Everyone else finished for Lita.
"He's a new senior.  He came into my drama class yesterday." Raye said.
"Wait, I'm in the same drama class as you, Raye, and I didn't see him." Serena said.
"You were up on stage performing, magnificently. Like you always do when you're up there.  You don't ever notice if someone else is in the same room with you.  Are you going to asked him?  I know for a fact that he doesn't have a date yet, because he as either turned the girl down or everyone else is already taken." 
"I can at least go introduce myself.  I'm still not sure about tonight."
"Wait a minute, you do have a dress, just in case, right?"  Mina said hoping for an excuse to go shopping.
"Sorry Mina, but I bought my dress weeks ago just in case.  A girl always has to be prepared."  Serena said smiling as she got up to go over and talk to him.  But then she came right back.   "What is his name?"
"Darien."  Raye answered.  Then Serena left.
"Raye you know how much you just bet, ten dollars each."  Amy said.
"I know." 
"Then why?"  Lita asked.
"I saw he was planning on walking in since Andrew and him are friends."
"So you had all this planned?"  Mina said.
"Well duh, how else was I going to get them to go together."
"How do you know that Darien will agree to go with Serena?"  Amy said.
"When he came in class he couldn't take his eyes off of her." 
"Well, I guess then it's worth the ten bucks."  Mina said with hearts in her eyes!!
Mean while Serena made her way to the counter and right next to the new Darien guy.
"Hi!"  she nicely said to him.
"If you're here to ask me to that dance that's tonight, walk away now."  Darien said very rudely.
"Who said I came up here to talk to you?  Hey Andrew can you get me a refill when you have time?"  Serena asked while sliding her cup towards his side of the counter.
"Sure thing Angel.  Hey Darien have you meet Serena Angel yet?"
"Who?"
"I am Serena Angel.  And you are?" Serena said, putting out her hand as a form on introducing herself.
"Darien."  He said without even bothering to look at her.  Or shaking her hand.
"Serena here is the 'Angel' of school.  Who did you decide to grace with your company tonight?"
"Now Andrew if I told you everything you would go simply green with envy."  Serena said while going into a perfect southern accent to impersonate Vivien Leigh as Scarlet O'Hara.
"You're the girl that was on stage yesterday.  What were you performing?"  Darien said finally turning and making eye contact with Serena.
"A senior wrote it over the winter break.  I was playing a lost girl who has to deal with many danger, tragedies, along with many other things, to find her way to her one true love."  Serena said very dramatically. 
"Staring Angel and... Who else was cast?"  Andrew asked.
"Only me and a few of the minor parts.  Mr. Dormal said 'I just can't seem to find the man with the right skills in drama, for the lead.'  If you ask me he's just to picky."
"When is the opening night?"  Darien asked.
"Don't you think we need a full case first?"  Serena said with a small giggle.
"I guess so."
"Darien you really are lucky by being introduced to Angel here.  You'll have every single guy jealous of you at school."
"ANDREW...that is not true.  Really Darien they won't be, Andrew here is just mad because I turned down his invitation to go on a date with him last year."
"That is so not true, I started dating Mina last year."  Andrew said worried about Serena starting rumors of him.
"Really, are you sure about that Andy, as I recall Mina asked you out first." Darien just laughed at how Serena was totally embarrassing is friend.
"Serena I think you have embarrassed the bore guy enough."
"I'll stop on one condition, Mr. Darien."  Serena said with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Can I hear the condition first?"  Serena shook her head no.  "Fine, anything for a friend.  Andrew remember revenge is so sweet."  Darien said to his friend afraid of what this 'Angel' had in mind.
"You loose your 'I'm to good to go to that stupid high school dance' attitude.  And go with me."  Serena said. "Other wise I can bring up what happened last week while you were closing up, Andrew."
"Fine you're on.  One night, but you better tell me what happened." Darien said.
"Later tonight, when we are some place that I won't embarrass your dear friend.  I'll pick you up at seven?"
"Ok, here's my address."  Darien said while writing down his address on a scrap piece of paper.  Serena then waved and said see ya, and walked back to her table.
"You two don't seem to get along very well."  Darien said to Andrew.
"Serena, that little angel, wouldn't harm a fly.  She's been like my little sister since I meet her ten years ago."
"So now you tell me, after I try to save you from embarrassment!"  Darien said while rolling his eyes.
"Obviously she wanted to ask you to the dance, but your attitude, oh hail Mr. Caesar, wasn't to kind.  You better make her happy tonight, other wise, you see those four other girls she is sitting with?"  Darien shook his head yes.  "They will come after you and literally kill you.  She's as delicate as a rose, a real angel, and the whole school loves her.  She could easily destroy you, meaning to or not."  Andrew warned his friend.
"Great, scare me!"  Darien said.

Back at the table Serena had to answer all of the questions the girls asked. 
What took you so long?  Did you ask him?  What did he say?  What is he
like?  Does he seem smart?  Doesn't Andrew look so Hot in his uniform?
"MINA!!"  And many more questions.

"Dear you look absolutely lovely."  Serena's mother Irene said to her.

"Mother, I'm still in my bathrobe, and don't have my hair or make done yet.  Please tell me how I can look so absolutely lovely, like this?"

"I just don't want to forget to tell you later on tonight." Irene said as Serena pushed her out of her bedroom.

"Mothers, can't live with them, can't live with out them." Serena then got to work getting read.  (A.N.:  Believe me I learned the hard way that it is work getting ready for a dance on time!)  After about two hours later Serena looked at herself all finished and dressed in her full-length mirror.  "Perfect.  With three minutes to spare!  Now it go get Darien."

"Darling you look absolutely lovely tonight."  Her mother said again.
"Thanks mom."
"You look nice angel, what time will you be home?"  Serena's dad, Ken, asked.
"I'm not sure, I'll try to be home by one?"

Irene hit Ken right before he made a commit.  "That sounds good dear.  Have a good time!"  Irene answered.

Serena got into her sliver mustang very carefully trying not to ruin anything about her appearance.  It wasn't too hard to find Darien's apartment building, and then she had to go the top floor to reach his apartment.

She rang the doorbell...waited a few seconds...then it slowly opened. 

Darien stood before her just staring at her and taking in her appearance.  Serena was dressed in a short, sparkly, sliver colored dressed.  The style of her dress was spaghetti straps, with a low cut that didn't show too much.  She wore a sliver necklace with a star and moon charm on it that went great with her dress.  Her hair was up into two meatballs at the top of her head, the same way he saw her where earlier that day and yesterday.  She had tied two sliver ribbons around them.  Over all she looked absolutely gorgeous, and Darien had no regrets about tonight, well at least not yet.

While Darien was busy 'looking her over', Serena was busy checking Darien out.  He was dressed in kakie pants, with a stylish black shirt
on.  You would think he was crazy for wear black, but wow did he look hot. Moving on from his clothing, now.  His gorgeous jet-black hair was done just right, but that one piece fell just slight over his eye.  Serena had to control herself not to reach up and brush back.

"Mr. Darien you look handsome tonight."
"Miss. Serena you look just breath taking.  How ever did you pull it off?"
"Very funny."
"Did you drive her all by yourself?"  Darien asked her as they walked towards the elevator and got in.
"Why yes.  Why?"
"You seem to young."
"Excuse me, but just because I'm only 5'5" doesn't mean that I'm not sixteen."
"So you're are what a junior then?"
"Yes, do you have a problem with that, because if you do fine, go on and stay in that 'I'm better than everyone' attitude of yours."
"And you aren't.  Andrew said you were popular and had everyone loving you."
"That is not true!"
"We will see."  They were now down along the street next to Serena's mustang.  "Yours?"
"Yes, I earned by working in the theater last two summers."
"Cool!"

They cared on a little small talk on the short ride to the dance.

"Are you sure you want to be at a school dance tonight?"
"Yes, why are you afraid of being seen with me in public?" Serena asked him.
"No it's just that I have never been the type to go to school dances. I stick to clubs."
"You'll have fun believe me.  Just wait, come on, will you take my word on this one thing?  If you don't have fun then I will go with you to a club next weekend, I promise."
"And what if I don't want to take you to a club?"  Darien asked while Serena was dragging him, literally, towards the gym.
"Then fine, ditch me tonight, go off to your little club alone.  I'll just tell everyone that you're to proud and 'good' to be seen at our school dance, see how that goes around school."  Serena said while letting him go for a second and turning around to face him.       
"Andrew warned me, but you have me twisted around that little finger of yours don't you." Darien said while pulling her close to his side. 
"I said I would go to this dance but you promised me a secret on my friend."
"After the dance I promise."  Darien looked down at her trying to decide if she was worth this, wait she is the most beautiful lady you have ever seen of course, she was worth it.

They walked in the gym together and stood there waiting for their eyes to adjust to the darkness, and their ears to the loud music.  Little did they know that the picture they made standing together was eye shattering perfect.  Everyone there looked at them, but they couldn't tell because of the dark gym.

"Serena you look beautiful."  Andrew said while gentle kissing her on the cheek. 
"Not looking to bad your self, Andy.  Mina you're absolutely gorgeous!"  Serena said to her dear friends.
"I always do!"  Mina said with a laugh.
"Glad to see you could make it Darien.  This is my girlfriend and a close friend of Angel's, Mina Love, Mina this is Darien."
"Nice to meet you, Mina."
"Like wise.  I'm sorry but I must steal Serena away for just a minute.  We will be right back."  Mina said while pulling her along with her to the restroom. (A.N.: it's a girl thing)

"You two look so cute together."  Mina said to Serena.
"I can't believe you, the two of you look so cute standing there together." Lita said while walking into the restroom with Raye and Amy.
"What's he like?"
"I'm not sure yet.  I've only been with him for like ten minutes."
"Every girl is so jealous of you, walking in with Darien."  Raye informed her.

All the girls just stated giggling all at once, which got them to just plain old laugh even harder.

Mean while all of the girl's dates went up to talk to the guy who their girlfriend's best friend walked in with.  They all had met him yesterday at lunch time.

"Darien, every guy in this gym is absolutely envious of you."  Ken informed him.
"Why?"
"You walked in with Serena Angel, is there any other reason?"  Greg said sheepishly.

"Every guy, except all of us, because we are like brothers to her, has tried to get a date with her since first grade."  Chad said.

"Hasn't she gone to a dance before with some one?"  Darien asked.
"No, are you kidding me, Serena is like a modern day Cinderella.  Goes to the balls alone hoping to meet the right guy.  But in reality she is just setting herself up for disappointment."  Andrew said.

"Well then I will just have to show this 'Angel' of yours a good time." Darien said while smiling at Serena as she walked over to Darien.

"Conspiracy against a girl that leaves for a minute and come back and finds a group of guys surrounding her date?"  Serena asked the five guys.  "The girls are looking for you around the gym.  Who knew that I would be lucky enough to find all of you."  Serena said with a small laugh.  A slow song came on and the guys scattered to find and dance with their girlfriends.

"Dance with me!"  Darien whispered in her ear.  Darien then gentle took her hand in his and led her to an open area on the gym floor.

('I Want to be With You')

I try but I cant seem to get myself
To think of anything
But you
Your breath on my face
Your warm gentle kiss I taste the truth
I taste the truth

We know what I came here for
So I won`t ask for more

I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one whose in your arms
Who holds you tight
I wanna be with you
There`s nothing more to say
There`s nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you (yeah)

So I`ll hold you tonight
Like I would if you were mine
to hold forever more
And I`ll saver each touch that I wanted
So much to feel before (to feel before)
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this

I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one whose in your arms
Who holds you tight
I wanna be with you
There`s nothing more to say
There`s nothing else I want more than to feel this way
(I wanna be) I wanna be with you

Oh baby
I can`t fight this feeling anymore
It drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name
Take my hand
Make my wish
Baby, your command?

Yeahhh
I wanna be with you
There`s nothing more to say
There`s nothing else I want more than to feel this way
(I wanna be)I wanna be with you (I wanna be with you)
I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you (Yeahhh)
(I wanna be with you)I wanna be
I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you
* = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = *

As the two them slowly danced in each other's arms, they never said a word but just stared into each other's eyes. Both realizing that they were falling, falling very hard, in what they could only call love.

'Darien is so amazing, we haven't even know each other for a day and I'm already falling for him.  I'll just have to be careful around him so I don't show him how much I do care for him.' 

'Her eyes are amazing, I could stare into them all night. She is so beautiful; I wish I could just hold her close and never let go.  Wait a minute Darien, you don't want to get hurt by this "popular" girl who probably will drop you as soon as the next handsome guy walks through the door. But maybe by some chance she is different at least maybe she is to night.'

The song ended much to quickly for the both of them, and a few faster songs continued.  They continued to dance, eventually joining their other friends in an area.  After a while the D.J. decided it was time for another slow song.

"This is a song for all you couples out there."

Darien once again took Serena into his arms.  Holding her close as if to protected her, from what he didn't know.  Serena was glad to be close to Darien.  Even though her feelings for him were still very questionable, she longed to be close to him. They still looked into each other's eyes seeing the souls of the other.

Everyone by now was really getting into a dance mood.  'We Like to Party' came on, and everyone formed two lines.  Your 'partner' was standing across from you, and you just went down the line starting with the first couple. Each taking their turn to dance in some fashionable manner down the line of people. (A.N. if you don't know what I'm talking about I'm so sorry but I don't know what it's called!)  Everyone was enjoying watching the couples dance.  Some got really into like Raye and Chad, while others were shy, um can we say Amy and Greg.  When the next song came on groups formed, even though you really couldn't tell who was in which group since they were all so close together.

The night slowly came to an end, with one last slow song 'I Do (Cherish You)'

Darien once again held Serena close.  This time 'from exhaustion' Serena gently laid her head against Darien's shoulder.  Well, not exactly his
shoulder but close to it, since she was shorter than him, even with her heals on (which she just put back on!)  (A.N. I don't know one girl who
can last a whole dance without taking off her shoes!!  LOL!!)  To say the least they were both disappointed that the dance was over.

'I thought this night would last forever, I have never been so happy!'  Darien thought to himself, while smiling at his little angel that was resting in his arms.

'I never want Darien to let go.  Tonight was perfect I wish it would never end!'  Serena thought happily.

(Going to the Car)

"Andrew said something about going to the arcade since it is only eleven. Would you like to go?"  Darien asked Serena as they walked hand in hand to her car.

"I don't have to be home until one and the girls were begging me to go. But Darien would you drive, please?"  Serena asked
"Like I would by pass a chance to drive a mustang.  If your tired you can go home and get some rest."  Darien said with concern, while opening the passenger side door for Serena.

"No, I'm fine.  Let's go before Raye decides that we are late."

The ride to the Arcade was quite, both just savoring the memory of the night.  How they danced, laughed and enjoyed just being together. 

"I'm glad you two could come."  Andrew said as they walked into the Arcade.
"Thanks for inviting us Andy," Serena said.
"As if I would leave out my little Serena alone with this guy."  Andrew said while pointing at Darien.
"I'll choose to ignore that comment."

Raye and Chad came in laughing.  Raye made Chad tell the joke that got them laughing and soon everyone was laughing and having a good time.  They talked about the dance and school in general.  Before they knew it, it was already quarter to one and Serena was almost a sleep on Darien's shoulder.

"I better get you home, sleepy head."  Darien whispered into her ear.
"Hmm, what was that Darien?"
"Come on let's go." Darien helped her out of the booth.  "We better get going.  Bye everyone."
"Byeeeeee..."  Serena said while leaning back into Darien half a sleep. All of the girls were tired and their boyfriends decided that they too should be leaving.
"Sere, what was that secret you have on Andrew?"  Darien asked not really caring but needing a way to keep her awake.
"Umm...secret...Oh, that secret, there wasn't one, but I could make one up and people would believe me."
"You tricked me!"  Darien said with a laugh.  "You little trickster."
"As a recall, somebody wouldn't get off his high horse and talk to me unless I came up with something.   I would call it improvising."  Serena said with a little smile.  "You called me Sere."
"Do you have a problem with that?"
"No, I like it."  Darien smiled glad she didn't mind him giving her a little nick-name. 

He pulled the car into the parking lot of his apartment.  They both got out.  Darien lend against the car while Serena walked around.

"I had a wonderful time tonight, Sere.  Thank you for improvising a way to get me off of my high horse."  He took both her hands and brought both up to his lips, kissing them lightly.

"Thank you for agreeing to come with me, even though a club would have been more to you liking."  Serena said softly to him.
"Tonight was perfect, I couldn't dream of anything more wonderful."
"Really?"  Serena whispered while looking into his eyes seeing that he wasn't lying to her.
"Yes."  Darien whispered to her.  Unbeknownst to them, they were getting closer together, closing in the small cap of nothingness that was between them.  "Well maybe I could dream of something."  Darien said.  He gently lifted her chin up a little, then in the sweetest of manor he gentle kissed her lips.  By his better judgment he didn't take the kiss any deeper than that.  But Serena didn't really care, she thought she was dreaming.  "Will you be able to drive home?"  Darien asked out of concern, but not moving away from Serena.

"I'm not sure.  Why don't you kiss me again just to make sure."  Serena gently begged.
"Not tonight,  I need you to stay focused on driving and not day dreaming about my kisses."
"Back to that high and might attitude!"  Serena said half jokingly the other half of afraid, that he had just teased her and that he didn't care
about this night that they shared together at all.
"Excuse me for caring about whether you make it home safely, and not wanting your death on my concince." 
"Fine then I'll leave you alone from now on."  Serena said while starting to move away from him.  But Darien quickly wrapped his arm around her waist, and kept her from moving.
"Not if I have anything to say about it."  Darien said before he kissed her again.  He didn't let the kiss go further than what a first date kiss should go, yet Serena became addicted to his sweet kisses, wanting more.

"So how was your night with Darien?"  Raye asked Serena as they walked to drama class together.
"Lovely."  Serena said with a sigh.
"Care to elaborate on that?"
"Not until I get my Forty Bucks."  Serena said mischievously.
"You're evil."
"This little girl, she's not evil, she's pure goodness."  Darien said while wrapping his arms around Serena from behind.
"Good morning, Darien."
"Good morning, my little Sere." Darien whispered into her ear.  "You must have made it home safely."
"Yep, thanks to you."
"HELLO!  I am standing right here, you two little lovebirds."  Raye said in annoyance.  Both of them blushed, as they walked into Drama class.
"Miss. Angel do you have all of your lines memorized yet?"  Asked Mr. Dormal.
"Now, Mr. D you said I still had at least two weeks to memorize them."
"Serena have you yet?"
"Of course, would I let you down, Mr. D?"  Serena asked.  Darien was still behind Serena.
"Darien, I was wondering if you were interested in trying out for the leading male role in the production.  We just started practicing, and still have plenty of time before opening night, if you are willing?"
"Sure I'll try out."  Darien said.  Serena smiled up at him.
"Have you ever acted in another plays?"  Mr. Dormal asked his new senior.
"Oh, a little of this and a little of that."  Darien answered.
"Fine then, here is the script, just tell me when your ready.  Angel come over here and run through Act 3 Scene 2 with George, he's working on a scrawny voice over."
"Good Luck."  Serena said while giving Darien's hand a squeeze and walking over to where George was.
"Don't hurt her."  Raye said to him VERY seriously, before walking over to the stage to look at the background.
'Andrew tried to warn me.  Raye I won't let you down, there is no way on this earth that I would hurt my little Sere.'
"Darien right?"
"Yes."
"Hello, my name is Rachel.  Mr. D asked me to go over some lines with you for your try out."  A girl about six feet tall, with short brown hair, and brown eyes asked.
"Sure let's sit down.  What scene will I be acting out for my try out?"
"The last scene of the play.  Edward and Lily are just now realizing that through everything they went through and learned along the way, the totally ignored the fact that they fell in love with each other."

"Rachel could you back it up, and tell me the main points of this play?" Darien asked since he knew nothing about this play.
"Sorry, I forgot you just got the script for the first time.  Anyway, Lily is a girl around eighteen who goes on this search to find true love.  Well, her parents agree that she could go on this search as long as she takes a guard with her.  That would be you, Sir Edward.  And on the search for love, they come a cross many dangers and trials.  Then at the end they realize that they loved each other, since they past the tests a long the way together.  That's a very bad summery, but it's a very good play and Serena does a wonderful job with it."

"I take it you are the senior who wrote the play?"  Darien asked Rachel.
"Yes, but I can't tell a story out loud to save my life.  But ask me to write you a novel, or in this case a play, and it turns out great!  So is the life of a writer." 

Darien laughed at this.  "I think it is a very good play.  Now let me run through my lines with you a couple of times before I go up on stage."


**Fifteen minutes later**


"Let take it from the line thirteen of scene 2 of Act six."
"Edward, I do not want to go the last mile home yet."
"What is it Lily?"
"All that we have been through just seems like so much, yet go home with out finding my true love."
"Do you even realize what you just said?"
"Yeah we."  Lily smiled and took Edwards hand.
"What about your true love?"
"I have found him.  The question is has he found me?" 
Edward walked closer to Lily, and gently lifted her chin with his finger. 
"I think he has found you."

Slowly their lips drew closer together, until there was less than a millimeter between them.  "Good bakes I don't want to search any longer." 
Lily whispered.

"GREAT!  That was magnificent!  Darien the role is yours for the taking.  Practices start now and continue every day during drama class, and later on after school."

Serena and Darien were still standing very close.  "Wow, you are amazing."

"No, Sere you are.  This is going to be an amazing play."

"Serena that was your best work ever."  Raye said giving her friend a hug, and in doing so pulling the couple apart.  "This play is going to be the best ever.  The chemistry between the two of you, is like wow." 
"Raye...air...I...need...air."
"Oh sorry Serena, I'm just so excited.  Just wait until I tell the girls."
"Yeah just wait."  Serena said while looking back over at Darien, who was talking to Rachel.  "Raye are you ready to show me the backgrounds?"  Raye took Serena by the hand and led her back stage.
"Darien that was amazing.  You are the perfect Sir Edward, and with Serena as Lily it will be the best production in the history of the school."
"Well it couldn't be done with out a wonderful script.  You did a really good job Rachel.  Do you plan to write more, someday?"
"Yeah someday, but for now I'm excited to be able to see everyone working so hard on this one.   'The Search for Love' is good, but I don't think it is anywhere close to Shakespeare!"  Rachel said with a laugh.
"You'll get there.  Just make sure I get a role when one of your plays makes it  in the 'big show'."  Darien said with a wink.
"Ok."
"I better go mark all my lines, and read through the script.  I'll talk to you more later Rachel."
"I'd like that, bye Darien."


**AFTER SCHOOL AT THE ARCADE**


"So Darien and Serena are in the main characters in the play?"  Ken asked Raye.

All of the gang was at the arcade.  Andrew was working, like usual, but they were still all catching up on the latest 'news' or rather gossip.  Darien and Serena failed to arrive yet.

"Even with Darien she is still late."  Raye complained.  "But to answer your question, yes and they were so amazing on stage together."
"What happened after they left here the night of the dance?"  Mina wanted to know.
"She is refusing to tell us about it until she gets her forty dollars."
"And I'm serious about that.  I don't put my life out on the line without money being involved in there somewhere."  Serena said out of no where.
"Serena...Darien, when did you too get here?"
"Somewhere between dance and money."  Darien said.  "What is this about money?"
"Oh the girls bet me to go over the other day and ask you to the dance. But what they didn't know is that I was planing to go over and talk to you anyway, and they just gave me the chance to get some extra money on the side."
"So forty dollars is all that I am worth.  I think I should be offended by that."  Darien said in a shocked way.
"No I just thought that it would be cruel to take all of their money at one time."  Serena said with a laugh.
"You two are cruel."  Andrew said while bring them two chocolate milk shakes. 
"So have they set an opening night yet?"
"No, but it should be set soon.  Especially since I have my leading male, who just happens to be the most gorgeous guy in school."
"What's on the agenda for Wednesday night since we don't have school Thursday and Friday?"  Amy asked the group.
"I was thinking a bonfire at the beach."  Chad said.
"That would be great, it is warming up at night, and with the fire no way we will get cold."  Mina said.
"Who needs a fire when we all have our men with us, to snuggle up to?"  Lita asked.  All of the girls laughed, and the 'men' sort of just smiled
and shook their heads.

"What time should we met?"  Greg asked.
"How about sixish, that way we can get the fire started and roast hotdogs." Chad suggested.
"Sounds good to me."  Darien said.
"Yeah and at night we can have smores."  Mina said with glee.

Sorry that is it short, but I thought that you would want to read this much and hopefully I will have more out soon!!

Also this really wa just written, I haven't had time to really edit it at all so don't bash me about How bad it is edited!!


* = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * =


It was the day of the bonfire and the last hour of school was dragging on.  The night was suppose to have clear skies, gentle breeze, and a perfect temperature, not to hot and far from cold.  Even drama class did nothing to cheer up Darien and Serena.  Sure they acted out the couple scenes perfectly, and Darien was starting to memorize his lines.  But still the night was going to be filled with fun and memories, and they couldn't wait to get out of school for the much-needed time off!  

"Cut!"  Mr. Dormal, yelled after Serena made her third mistake on her lines.  "Obviously everyone needs the time off as much as I do, so that will be enough for the day.  Serena and Darien I want the two of you to have ALL of your lines memorized over the break so that I can finally set an opening night."

At this everyone cheered, they could not wait to see this production succeed.  Never in the history of the school as a drama class work so hard on a single production, and then not even knowing when the open night was. This was the best play the school as seen in years, and they had the two best actor practicing to perform it!!

At any rate there was still like three hours of school, then another three until they were all suppose to meet.

"Sere, may I have the honor of picking you up tonight?"  Darien asked Serena as they were walking off stage.

"Yes you may.   What time should I expect my carriage to arrive?"
"How about five-thirty."
"Sounds good to me.  Want to run through some lines with me, or at least try too?"
"Sorry Sere, but I told Rachel that I would talk to her about what I thought of the plot and characters of her play.  I'll talk to you before we leave school."  With that he left Serena right where she was standing, and went over to one of the audience chairs to talk to Rachel.
"That's alright I'll just go talk to Ray about tonight."  Serena said softly to herself, feeling a little bit rejected.


  ******************After School******************


"So what is everyone where tonight?"  Lita asked the girls, while she took out the pan of cookies from her oven.  All the girls went home with Lita to 'help' her cook some goodies for the night.  Of course they all just ate the food, that was suppose to be ate that later.
"Well it is suppose to me in the high sixties all night, with little to no breeze."  Amy reported.
"Ok, with that said, thank you Amy, I think I will be wearing shorts, with a nice t-shirt and maybe a light jacket."  Raye said.   "Most likely in the color red."

"Go figure!  I'll probably also were shorts and a light jacket since Ken will be there, on top of the fire."

"I better get going home to get ready.  I have no clue what to wear tonight, and Andrew is picking me up in like two hours."  With that said Mina rushed out of the house, and ran all the way home.

After all the girls quieted down, Raye asked Amy what she plained on wearing.  "Probably pants and a T-shit, you know how cold I can get."

"Even with Greg there?"  Lita teased, and of course Amy's face turned red from the neck up.  "What about you Serena?"

"I don't know, probably shorts and some nice shirt."

"Don't worry about it like Mina, Darien is so far gone with you, you don't even have to try to impress him."

"I wish you were right.  I have to go, see you three in about two hours."


  **************Five-thirty*****************


"Serena, Darien is here!"  Serena's mother said as she knocked on her door.
"Ok.  Did you let him in?"
"Yes, dear, he is in the living room waiting for you."
"Is dad with him?"  Serena asked almost afraid of the answer.
"No, he went out to pick up some pizza.  You look lovely Serena."
"Thanks mom.  I will be home before midnight."
"Ok dear have a nice time."
Serena decided to wear jeans since it was still a bit chilly, but yet she still wore a like pink tank top with a long stemmed rose embowered in it, as the top.  Think that since Darien would be there, she could always just have him keep her warm.  As she walked down the stairs she suddenly felt nervous.  This wasn't like the dance, where she kind of tricked him into going, but it still really wasn't a date.  But she liked him, she knew this by the way she got jealous about him talking to Rachel in drama class.  'Why did he have to go talk to her?  Better yet, why did I get so jealous of him talking to her?'  Serena thought to herself.

"Serena you look beautiful.  But you do know that it is still not that warm outside?"  Darien asked as he watched her walked down the last
few stairs.
"Why of course I do Darien, that's why I have you to keep me warm all night."
"I am her to serve you my lady.  Shall we go?"
"Yes we shall."


  *******************At the beach******************


"Why can't you just start the fire already Chad?"  Raye was yelling.
"Look I do have it started.  It just hasn't had time to catch all the rest of the wood and make a huge bonfire yet.  So please just chill out for a few minutes."
"You two are just so funny to listen too."  Mina said while bursting into laughter.
"Where are those two.  I thought they were even leaving early?"  Raye said choosing to ignore Chad and his fire, and Mina who was still laughing hysterically.
"Who knows with those two.  Serena as always been unpredictable, and without knowing Darien for to long we still don't what exactly what to think should he be late, as like right now."  Greg said thinking logically of course, with Amy shacking her head confirming that she was thinking along those lines too.

  **************By Darien's Car************


"Serena wait a second before we go find our friends."  Darien asked as he pulled her over in front of him, while he leaned against his car.
"What is it Darien?"  Serena asked.
"First let me kiss you."  And without a reply Darien kissed Serena. It was a gentle kiss that ended way to short for both of them, but Darien
was obviously trying to make a point about something.  So Serena tried to focus back on him after he ended the kiss and not just his lips.  "What is going on between us Serena?  Is this a relationship or just something to do in you free time?"

"Darien, I'm not the type of girl who just goes around letting just any guy kiss her.  As for what I would like to call you is my boyfriend. But if you aren't ready for that, I understand..."  Darien stopped her with another gentle kiss on the lips.

"Serena would you please be my girlfriend?"  Darien asked in the sweetest and gentlest voice he had.
"Now Darien, I just might have to think about this.  Let's see...um...OF COURSE I WILL BE!!!"  Serena said jumping into his arms hugging him very tightly.  When Darien finally got just enough freed from her he kissed her a little bit more passionately, but he still ended the kiss disappointingly quickly.  Telling her that they were already late and should getting going before everyone got really mad!!

The fire was blazing by the time Serena and Darien found the group. Chad and Andrew had thought ahead, or rather Raye instructed them, to pull some logs around the fire. They were set not to far from the fire, but close enough to feel the warmth and converse with everyone around the fire. Raye and Chad were sitting on one log, with Greg and Amy next to them. Andrew, Mina, Ken and Lita, claimed the next log. Leaving Serena and Darien to their own smaller log, that would only fit the two of them on it, and only that if they were sitting very close.
"Where have you guys been?" Raye said. "Yeah, we have been sitting here a whole minute or so waiting for you." Lita said while trying to duck from Raye's flying shoe.
"Oh we just had something to discuss before came over by you all." Darien said matter-o-factly.
"What did we miss?"
"Oh just small talk. Actually we starting to talk about the play." Andrew said.
"Raye said that you and Serena are wonderful together on stage." Mina said.
"Just like how the two of you were amazing together and the dance." Amy put in.
Serena knew where her friends were going with this, and so did Darien. They both tried their hardest to stop from laughing at them, at least to their faces. Of course the group only had the good intentions of getting their really good friend, Serena, and their new friend, Darien, together. Especially since they all thought and knew that the two of them were in fact the perfect match. They both loved to act, and were good at it, the height difference made them look adorable, and their colorings (Serena having light blonde hair, and Darien's hair being dark), makes them look like opposites attract. If only they would blurt out that they figure all of this out on their own just a few minutes ago, nah and ruin all the fun, NEVER.
"Ok so who was in charge of the food?" Chad asked.
"I was of course!" Lita said. "Hot dogs to start with. Did any one remember the roasting sticks?"
"Yeah I had left in my trunk from last summer, I just kept forgetting to take them out." Greg said.
"I thought you were smart Greg!" Mina said. "If Greg can't remember to do something so simple then there is no hope for any of us blondes out there." At this comment, from Mina, everyone started laughing, with her of course.
After that they all just started eating and talking about anything and everything. Soon all of the hot dogs were gone and Lita was getting out the marshmallows, in order to roast them for desert.
"How do you like your marshmallows Serena?" Darien asked his girlfriend.
"Gooey and not burnt. Unless you are making smores then you can burn them just a little, since the chocolate takes up most the taste." Serena said.
Darien softly laughed at her. Wishing that he could kiss her right there. "I wish I could kiss you right now, you are so adorable." Darien whispered into her ear.
"Eat your smore then we will get up for a walk." Serena said quietly so that only Darien could here her.
"So Darien how do you like your new school?" Greg asked.
"It's great. I'm actually glad that I was able to get involved in the play."
"Did you act at your other school?" Raye asked.
Serena wanted to go for their 'walk', so she elbowed Darien in the rib to get him to stop talking. "Well yes, but it wasn't such a good play as 'The Search for Love'. Rachel did a wonderful job. But time will only tell how well we can pull the play off. Don't you think Serena?" Darien's side was starting to hurt.
Sure he wanted to be alone with her, but goodness she had a pointy elbow.
"I agree. Darien why don't we go for a walk? You have got to see this view at night." Serena stood up and by doing so pulled Darien up with her.
"Ok, well be back in a while guys."
"Ok see ya in a bit then." Andrew said, trying not to laugh.
After Serena and Darien were out of sight, he started laughing, and soon everyone else joined him. "Why don't they just tell us that they are a couple now!" Lita said through laughs. "WHAT?? Serena and Darien are together, but I so wanted to play match maker." Mina said with a pout. "Sorry Mina, but since they don't need you just means that they aren't blind to love, and that is a good thing, remember." Amy said to her friend. "I guess but I am still disappointed that they were not in the need of my wonderful talents."

*****************Darien and Serena*********************

Serena pulled Darien along, until they were a ways away from the group. The view was amazing. They were on top of a small hill that was half wild grass and half sand. The Moon was right in front of them, as big as it could be. It was a beautiful full moon that only happens once in a great while. "You were right the view is amazing!" Darien said as he leaned down to kiss Serena. He kissed sweetly on the lips, not daring to go deeper. Serena stood on her tiptoes, and wrapped her arms around Darien neck. Darien's hands wrapped around her waist and held her closer. Serena's fingers play along his hair that was at his shirt collar, as Darien deepened the kiss. They pulled apart reluctantly, but they were out of breath. "Mmm...That was nice." Serena said while still in Darien's arms. "Just nice? Maybe I should try again." Darien pulled Serena closer to him, and kissed her harder this time. His tongue traced her lips until she willing let it slip inside her mouth. They both got the shivers when their tongues met, and were engulfed in a passion that neither one of them felt before. After what seemed like forever, yet not long enough, Darien ended the kiss, and took a small step back, but didn't let go of Serena. "Still just nice?" "No, that was magnificent!" Serena said with a sigh. She lowered her arms, so they would wrap around his waste and laid her head on his chest. "You know we just met, but it seems like I have know you forever." Serena said with another sigh. "It does seem to amazing, but we hardly know each other." Darien said with a sigh of his own. "Maybe we should take the time to learn more about each other. Like how I have one younger brother, and my favorite color is pink!!" Serena said both seriously and jokingly.
Darien laughed and gave her a squeeze around the waist. "Well that's nice to know. But we really should get to know each other more. We also need to get back to the group." "Not until you kiss me again." Serena said with a pout. Darien complied and kissed her again. He kept it short and sweet. But he some how managed to sweep Serena right off her feet, and wanting more!! "Are you sure that we have to go back. I'm sure they all know why we left. Especially since I wouldn't tell them anything about the night of the dance. They are all dying to know." Darien held onto Serena's hand but turned her so she was facing the direction that the rest of the group was. "We have to go back. Other wise I might forget about them, and just keep on kissing you." "I'm sure they wouldn't mind. I know I wouldn't." Serena said while turning around and facing Darien again. "I'm not going to kiss you again, until later." Darien said seriously but with a conniving smile. "Fine." Serena said as she stood on tiptoes and kissed him. She tried to get him to let her deepened, and Darien was close to complying, but then she also could be 'cruel' and pulled away from the kiss and turned away from his embrace.
"You little tease." Darien said while wrapping his arms around her from behind. "You are the one that started it. I just gave you a little piece of your own medicine." Serena said with a giggle. They could here the group laughing and having funny. "Maybe they wouldn't miss us for a few more minutes?" Darien said while trying to pull Serena around. "No way Mr. Romeo. We really should get back. Don't want to ruin our reputations, of heartbreakers now do we." Serena said teasingly as she pulled him closer to the group. "What are you guys laughing at now?" Serena said as Darien and her walked back over to their set next to the fire. "Oh Andrew was just telling us about the time, you and him went fishing, and you fell into the pond." Raye said. "Andrew you were sworn to secretes about that!" Serena said. But everyone just laughed harder. "Well, I bet he didn't tell you how he fell in while trying to help me out, now did he." Serena said in order to Andrew back. "No I think he forgot to mention that part." Greg said, as everyone just started to laugh harder, and Andrew's face turned beat red. "Well friends, it's getting late. I told my parents that I wouldn't be out to late. They want to go out on a family outing tomorrow." Ken said while rolling his eyes. "Ken's right it is getting late we better get going." Andrew said as he stood to dump water on the fire. The fire was already dying down, but the water turned it into just smoke. "Wow without the fire, it really is cold out here." Mina said as Andrew draped his arm around her to 'keep her warm.' They all head back to their cars.
Everyone said goodbye to each other, the girls decided to go shopping in the after noon, and the guys just rolled their eyes and shook their heads. Darien and Serena were the last ones left, since they wanted to make sure the fire really did go out. (A.N.: don't tell me I don't look out for my mother earth cause I do care!!) Darien walked Serena over to her door, but before he opened the car door, he kissed really lightly. "I just couldn't wait until we got to your house to give you a kiss." Darien said as he opened her door. "Does it look like I minded? In fact I think we should maybe wait a little longer before leaving." Serena said. "Serena, we really should go." Darien said as he watched her get into his car, and he shut the door for her. "Darien why don't we go to a movie tomorrow, and get to know each other better, since technically we are a couple now." Serena said realizing once again that she really didn't know that much about her boyfriend, but yet at these amazing feelings for him. "That is a great idea Sere. Any movie you want to go see?" Darien said while giving he a quick smile before the light turned green. "Well at the park they show these old movie, on a big screen. Maybe we should go there. We could talk and watch the movie. They might be a little cheesy sometimes, but they are really kind of nice to watch for a change." "That sounds good. What time should I pick you up?" "How about five-thirty, I'll pack a picnic, and we can eat while we are watching the movie." "Alright. Are you sure you will be shopping by then?" Darien said with a laugh as he pulled into her drive. He got out and walked over to open her door for her. She took his offered hand, and he lead her to her front door "I had a good time tonight." Darien said as he kissed her on lips.
Their kiss was so sweet and loving, that is left both of them breathless. "I'll see you tomorrow, my sweet Sere." Darien said as he put a piece of her hair behind her ear, and gave her lips one last, quick kiss. Serena was so dazed when she walked into the house. Her mom had to say her time three times before she answered her. Fortunately her mom just smiled and asked if she had a good time. Of course Serena said yes, and gave her mom a kiss on the cheek and headed to bed. She had just sweet dreams of her prince.

"Why do we always shop until our feet hurt?"  Lita said while sitting down with the five shopping bags, she had been caring still in her hand.

"Because our feet are the only things keeping us from shopping more."  Amy said with a sigh.

"Seriously girls I think we went a little bit overboard today." Raye said flopping down in the closest chair.

"But Spring is just starting and we just have to start our new wardrobes."  Mina said very seriously.

"Serena you only have two bags!  What's wrong?  You feeling sick?" Lita said while feeling Serena's forehead for a temperature.

"Actually I only have one bag, the other one is Mina's.  I just didn't see anything I really like."

"Except that dress, which is beautiful."  Raye said.
"Where are you going to where it to?"  Amy asked.
"I just thought I would get it.  I was thinking about wearing it on the closing night of the play, unless something else should turn up."

"Like a date with a certain tall, dark, mysterious, new boy at school?"  Lita said with a wink.

"Why would you say something like that Lita?"  Serena said with a questioning look.

"Come on Sere we all saw you last night.  You two were all over each other."  Lita said.

"And your guys little 'walk'." Amy said.

"Not to mention that you were late, cause you had to 'talk' about something first." Raye said still a little mad that Serena and Darien were late.

"Would you like to make a comment too, Mina?"  Serena asked.
"I'm mad cause I didn't get to play matchmaker."  Mina said disappointedly.
"Ok so Darien and I are getting a little closer.  We were TALKING about something before we walked over to the bonfire.  And I showed him that little hill, that when the moon is full, looks as if you can touch it.  Mina, I'm sorry you can't play matchmaker, but I don't know, it's different with Darien.  We just sort of clicked at the dance, and things have only been getting better since then." Serena said with a dreamy look in her eye.

All the girls were practically in tears since Serena's life was so dreamy at the moment.  She has a guy that seems to be perfect for her, and she isn't pushing him away like she has done with all the other guys that ever shown interest in her.  Their Serena is actually falling in love with this guy, and they were happy for her.

"So do you have a date with him tonight?"  Raye said to be noisy.
"Yes as a matter fact I do."
"Are you going to wear your new dress?"  Amy asked.
"I don't think so.  I'm thinking of wearing just a simpler spring dress.  Probably my light pink one."
"Oh that will look so cute.  What are you guys doing?"  Mina asked.
"I'm not telling you guys anything.  Cause if I do you all and the boys will end up there, and then we won't be by ourselves anymore.  And what's the point of a date if my friends, though I love you all to death, end up there with me and the guy of my dreams?"
"Ok so you won't tell us.  That's fine.  But can you tell us about the night of the dance?"  Lita said.
"No, cause I don't have my money yet."
"Serena you have, and I quote, 'the guy of your dreams', and you are choosing money over some gossip that just might be really great to spread."  Mina said.

"Um, let me think about this.......oh yeah!"  Serena said with a devilish grin.  "Plus I love leaving you guys in suspense.  I got to go.  Talk to you all later."  Serena grabbed her one bag and left the other four girls just sitting there.

"Ok so where do you think they are going?"  Raye asked.
"Well they don't really know to much about each other so they would go someplace where they would be able to talk."  Amy said.
"There's the Carnival, wait that's closed today.  The movies?"  Lita said.
"You don't go to the movies to talk, you go there to make-out."  Mina said as if Lita was so stupid.
"Not if they went to the movie in the park.  Serena loves taking a picnic and watching the old movies."  Raye said remembering.
"But would Serena take him there.  That's something she doesn't usually even ask to see if we would like to go."  Amy said questioning.
"She took him to that hill on the beach.  That's where she goes to be alone.  Why would she take him there, and not to the park?"  Raye said.
"Raye has a point.  I think that is the place our two little lovebirds are going tonight."  Lita said.
"So are we going to spy on them?"  Mina asked.

The girls all thought about, looked at each other.

"It would be nice to know what they have been doing when they are alone."  Lita said.
"And it would be nice to get a little revenge on her for not telling us the whole truth."  Mina said.

They all thought about it again.  It would be sweet, but was it really worth Serena getting overly angry, and they knew she would tell them about it eventually.

"Nah!  I rather spend the night with my own guy."  Amy said sheepishly, but all the other girls agreed on it, and that they would get Serena and Darien back later. 


~*~Serena's House~*~


Serena was in her room getting ready for the night.  She had just got done packing the delicious picnic for two with everything she loved. Hopefully Darien likes at least some of the same things she did, at least that was what she was hoping for.

As she was getting dressed, she decided to wear her spaghetti strapped pink spring dress.  It went down to her knees, and was made of a light but warm fabric.  She planned on wearing her white sweater too, so she would be just a bit warmer.  Her hair was curled, and she braided the sides back until they connected in the back of her head.  She wore little crescent moon diamond earrings. All was left was for Darien to pick her up.

Just as she was giving her make-up, which she had very little of on, one last look, she heard the doorbell.  'Right on time' She thought to herself.

As she walked down the stairs she took him in.  He wore nice khaki pants, with a dark blue polo shirt that brought out the blue of his eyes.  His black hair was nicely combed, like always, and he had just a bit of hair in his eyes.  He looked amazing, and she couldn't believe that she was going to be spending the night with him.

Darien took Serena in as she walked down the stairs.  And no matter how many times he has seen her in the last couple of weeks, every time she just seems to get more beautiful.  He couldn't believe that she was willing to spend time with him.  Sure he has always had his choice of girls, but Serena was no girl, she was a full-grown angel.

"You are so beautiful, Sere."  Darien said softly.
"Thank you.  You look handsome.  I'll go get the picnic basket, and we can be on our way."  Serena went into the kitchen.  She came out with a huge picnic basket, which looked like it weighed a ton. Darien took it from her, and found out that it just didn't look like it weighed a ton, but it did.

When they got to the car Darien first put the basket in the back seat, then 'helped' Serena in, but not before giving her a soft peck on the lips.

"What was that for?"  Serena asked him as he got in the car.
"For being you.  So what park are we going to?"
"Rose Park."
"The one with all the rose gardens?"
"Yes, have you had a chance to walk through it?"
"I found time.  When I was first moving in the park look amazing with the roses blooming, I couldn't wait to go see it."
"It is my favorite park in town.  The rose gardens surround it, and the big open field and lake at hidden inside.  The Gardeners set up the movie screen in the field, and as you watch the movie, you can smell the roses."

"So what movie is showing tonight?"
"How to Marry a Millionaire."
"Oh, that's a good one."  Darien pulled into the park's parking lot, which was about half full.  He got out the basket as Serena got out of the car.

"Come over here, I always sit near the right side, so I can smell the roses in the breeze."  They walked about half to the screen, on the right side.  Right when Darien was sitting down he felt a breeze, and indeed he could smell the roses.

Serena had laid out a red and white checkered blanket, and started unloading all of the food she had packed.   She first took out two thermoses that held their drinks.  Then two desert containers, which was finger Jell-O or cherry pie.  Then she took out many different containers that held different types of fruits and vegetables.  The last container she pulled out was quit bigger than all the others were, and had many different types of sandwiches stored in it. Serena really did not know what exactly to pack so she just packed small amounts of anything she could find.

Darien couldn't believe how much she packed for just the two of them. "Did you plan on feeding an army Sere?"
"I wasn't sure what you liked so I just packed everything I could find, that I liked."
"So how did you find the best spot in the garden?" Darien asked as he pulled a turkey and cheese sandwich out of the container.
"My Grandma would take me her when I was a little girl on Sunday afternoons.  We would go look at all the roses, then come right here to eat a small picnic lunch.  Then about ten years ago they started showing the old movies, so Grandma would take me every Friday and we would sit right here and watch the movie of the week.  When she died three years ago, I decided to keep coming.  It always seems she is watching me here."

"You Grandma seems like a very special women."
"She was very special."  Serena started to eat a sandwich along with some fresh fruit.  "So you know that my favorite color is pink and that I have a younger brother.  What yourself?"

"I don't have any siblings, and my favorite color is blue, especially the blue of your eyes."  Darien said the end with his little half smile, and seceded in making Serena blush.  "Seriously though my favorite color is blue, with red coming in a close second."

"How did you come to move here?"  Serena asked seriously wondering.
"My Grandfather actually went here, and knew that the school system was still the best around and will help secede in getting accepted in
the best of the elite colleges and universities.  Only the best for his grandson."

"So it's your grandfather that I should be thanking right now?"  Serena said with her only little teasing smile.
"He is the one that is paying for my apartment and schooling.  He has taken care of me since I was a little boy, the only family I ever
remember having."

They went on talking and eating whenever they thought of it.  The movie started but they did not pay any attention to it.
"So what got you into acting Serena?"
"Well I just sort of started.  We did this little plaything for our parents in Junior High, and I tried out for the lead.  It wasn't the best try out, but when I found out that I got the lead I practiced night and day to get everything down right.  Ever since then I just try out and take what lead I received and work hard on performing it to my best abilities.  The girls say that I tend to get lost in the characters and forget about the real world.  Have you ever done that?"

"Yes."
"You said that you have done some acting, but how did you get started?"
"Well my freshman year my school was going to but on a play.  My Teacher's in courage me to try out.  I tried out got a secondary lead. The review said I our shinned the lead, and blew the audience away. After that I just do it. Acting is like my time away from reality and all the pressures on me.  It gives me a chance to be somebody that has all of his problems work out in the end."

"Funny acting brought us together, but I don't feel like I have to act around you Darien."  Serena said as she looked into Darien's deep blue eyes.

"Serena we will never have to act around each other, because when we are together everything is perfect."  Darien sealed his promise to her and himself with a kiss.  He had finally found somebody that didn't want him to be somebody other than himself.  As for Serena she had found the best guy in the world give her loving heart to.
