Title: Love at Second Sight [Part 3] Author: Rena Shields Rated: G Email: Kylara21@hotmail.com AN: Hello, again! I'm so sorry that I took so long for this chapter tocome out. To make up for it, I'm writing a lot of chapters for you. My ficsare always posted first at: http://members.tripod.com/jayhyun/sm/. That ismy friend's site and she updates A LOT, and her stories are really good!Oh yeah, just to annoy Amy (my friend) I have to put this in: She saidthat little voice in Darien's head from the other chapter was ME!! Wasn'tthat mean of Amy! So, now I have to tease her in my fanfic where she can'tdefend herself! HA! Ok, Amy j/k! Anyway, back to the band! (Oops, not yet) ********************************************************* Serena dashed into the sacred Temple exactly ten minutes after themeeting had started. She threw herself through the door and opened her mouthwhen she was politely interrupted. "SERENA YOU BIG MEATBALL HEAD!!! YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T BE LATE AGAIN!! NOT THAT WE BELIEVED YOU, BUT CAN'T YOU EVERBE MORE RESPONSIBLE?!?! WE HAVE A MISSION, REMEMBER!?!?!?" Serena, who had puther hands over her years, calmly turned to Raye and smiled. And shoved abright, remarkably ugly poster in her face. It stuck to her forehead and lookedlike one of Raye's Fireball Charge papers stuck to her head. Raye tore itoff her head, and giving Serena a dirty glare, read it. A change took place inRaye. Her angry grimace turned slowly and brightly to a smile that glitteredlike fire. She glanced at Serena, who said," My point, exactly!" "Guys, we have a little thing to show you . . ." Raye mumbledsomething under her breath and gave the paper to them. Amy was the only one(other than Raye) who noticed that after Raye mumbled, a bright blue lightsurrounded the paper for just a split second. Amy rolled her eyes. Whatever it was, itmust be pretty important for Raye to waste her energy on a good-luck charm. Apparently it worked, for Lita and Mina who had been reading the paper,both said in unison, "Sure! I'm for it!" And grinned gleefully. Amy ofcourse, was a little reluctant, though. She had read the paper now too, and thoughshe WAS part of the Guardians, she never thought they'd actually perform .. . "Guys, I am only ahead by three chapters! You can get along without the second soprano part, can't you?" Serena, Raye, Lita, and Mina exchanged looks. Time to convince Amy that performing was a good idea. For now,forget the scout meeting! They huddled, and when they broke Amy noticed theevil grins on their faces. A little worried, Amy asked," Can we just get on with the meeting? Please?" Mina said, "Not till you say yes, Amy." Amy frowned and said,"What if I don't? You can't make me play, you know." Lita smirked; they ALL smirked. "Dear, dear Amy. We can, you know. Remember the day you hadyour eyes closed and talking out loud to yourself? Oh, scratch that. Youwere talking to GREG in your mind. I'm sure Greg would just adore hearingthis." Raye paused, and ran off to her room. She returned immediately with atape recorder. She pressed play: " Greg, I love you! You're so handsome, and you've got such mysterious, dark, entrancing eyes! Oh Greg, I loveyou!!" STOP. "What do you say now, Ames? Please?" Now Serena tried theinnocence act. Amy rolled her eyes. 'I'm going to regret this . . . but theyspying on me that day????' She sighed, and meekly nodded. Darien, who just HAPPENED to be walking by the temple, dropped all hisbooks and tripped flat on his face when he heard 4 loud whoops and a moanerupt from the temple. 'What was that?' He thought. Darien picked himself upand walked on. ************************************************************************** As the arcade doors slid open, Andrew looked up to see who his new customer was. He saw Darien, strolling along cheerfully. A little TOO cheerfully. He walked up to Andrew with a purposeful sort of strides,and sat down. "Ok, Dare. Spit it out. What do you want?" Darien's subtle smile suddenly broke into a grin: an evil grin. "Oh nothing. Just this-" andhe lay a bright, orange piece of paper on the counter in front of Andrew. "Since I know my BEST FRIEND will willingly do this, for the goodof our band's new reputation, I know you'll agree to this. Or suffer the consequences." Darien grinned at Andrew. Andrew raised an eye. "Did you really think that you needed to convince me? Anything for the sake ofthe band! And other certain reasons . . ." Darien laughed. "You mean, youwant to impress Mina? This is a masked and costumed party, buster, no way willshe know who you are. Lovesick fool that you are, you forgot." Andrew gavehis own little evil grin at Darien. Me, lovesick? Not as much as you. I SAWthe way you looked at Serena when her hair was flying around her. You likeher! So there!" Darien glared at him. "Forget about our pathetic love lives than." "Er-hem, Darien. YOUR pathetic love life. Now, what were you saying?" Darien, who gave himyet ANOTHER dirty look, continued on. "Now we have to round up Chad, Ken,and Greg. We haven't practiced for awhile, and this WILL be our first performance. We want to look good, you know. First of all, we needsomething to blackmail Greg with. He won't do it, I know. Practicing is onething, but performing is another. Especially in front of his darling, preciousAmy. Anyway . . ." The two guys planned and when Andrew's shift was over,they went on a hunt. Later that day, as Serena walked home, she was startledto hear 4 whoops and a moan come from the arcade later that day. Ignoringit, she went on and calmly proceeded to connect her face with the cement. "WAHHHHHHHH!!!!" AN: So, how do you like that? Ok, don't flame me for putting Andrew andMina together . . . You know, poor Mina has no boyfriend! Lita has Ken soit's ok. I always have thought they looked cute together . . . Oh yeah, and just pretend our friend Rita/Reika does NOT exist. Makes life easier, don'tyou think?
