Once In A Life Time Chapter 3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What am I gonna wear Luna, this is to short, this is to formal, and this is to casual,ughh I have nothing to wear." Serena was going insane, she couldn't find a single thing to wear. There were clothes sprawled out in every nook and cranny of her room yet she couldnt find anything. "Why don't you just use the Luna disguise pen Serena, even though I don't like you to use unless its an emergency but this seems important to you so I am all for it." "Really Luna, thats great, but very strange for you, your usually more strict on me." "Serena you need to know what to say, you don't want people to not notice you at all." Luna was right, the Luna disguise pen is very powerful, and it would disguise her totally, but she was despersate. "Mabey I should wear a tux tonight, or mabey just something casual...hmmm mabey I should just call Andrew." Darien was also thinking of what he should wear and this was totally not like him, he never really cared what other people thought about what he wore, but for some reason tonight he wanted to look his best, even he couldn't under stand. "Hey Andrew what do you think I should wear tonight? What?Darien, you feeling alright? I know it sounds very strange coming from me but...I dunno I want to look good tonight. So what should I wear? You know just something casual but sutable for a night on the town. No problem, thanks Andrew. See ya Darien." Darien decided to wear his usual black turtle neck shirt, light grey pants, and green sports coat. "So, Sammy, how do I look? Like a blue jelly fish he he. SAMMY! Ughh you are such a brat, mom how does this dress look on me. It looks fine dear, huh where did you get that beautiful dress? I got it from the back of my closet, don't know where it came from, but Im glad I found it in time. Where are you going Serena, is it a date, whos the guy. Ken, Serena's father, had just walked in from work piling a load of questions on Serena as soon as he saw what she was wearing. Serena and Ilene both knew he didn't want Serena to date until she was thirty, but Ilene was totaly differant about the subject. "Serena is just going out with her friends Ken, leave her be. Fine Ilene, but she better be home by at least ten not a minute later. Fine dad, I'll be home at ten." Then out side there was a honk from a car horn. "Bye guys I got to go love you mom, dad, seeya Sammy. Bye honey, have fun. "Hey Serena, you look great, hop in. Hey Andrew, hey Rita hows it goin. Serena, what ever you do, when you find out who is joining don't get mad at us. Rita! quiet your gonna scare Serena off. Oh its okay Andrew Im ready for anything you throw at me." Now, sitting at the table Andrew and Rita are throwing little winks as they see Dariens car pull up. 'Here goes nothing.' Andrew thought to himself. "Well here goes nothing I hope I... is that Serena sitting with Andrew and Rita, impossible oh Im gonna kill those two." Darien was just getting out of the car when he spotted his so called blind date with Rita and Andrew. "Hey Andrew, Rita, umm Serena. Uhh hi Darien, what are you doing here? Well I was suppost to be eating with Andrew, Rita, and... I guess uhh you. You mean YOU, are the guy Andrew and Rita tried to set me up with no way, Im out a here. Serena wait, don't go uggh Andrew we totaly messed up. Your telling me... hey Darein where are you going. Andrew and Rita were just staring at Darien as he ran out side to try and catch Serena before she tried walking home. "Wait Serena, look I had nothing to do with this, Andrew and Rita asked me to come here I had know idea is was you they were talking about. Look Darien, I know you didn't have anything to do with this, Im just so embarresed that Andrew and Rita would try putting you and me together, I don't know why, but I was starting to like you." Serena suddenly turned around to face Darien totally red with embarresment, she couldn't believe what just came out of her own lips. "What, Serena I... I-I don't know what to say I thought you hated me. Darien I thought you hated me your the one that teases me and calls me meatball head. No I didn't hate you I just had a hard time showing my feelings for you. What! you... have feelings for me. I had no idea Darien you jus-. Serena was cut off by a kiss, she was totaly dumb-founded at first then her legs gave out but darien caught her. It was until a very suprised Rita and Andrew came out of the resteraunt that they let go of each other to explain. "Hey, you guys have got alot of explaining to do, god you guys are so confusing." Poor Andrew was so confused and he could tell by how speechless Rita was, she was to. "Well Andrew to tell you the truth I really dont know what just happend." Serena was totally out of it she just relized that she had been kissing none other than Darien, Darien of all people, that left her totally dazed. "Im sorry Serena, I don't know what just happend its just that, it felt so right and--." Darien was cut off by the sound of Serena's voice."Darien its okay to tell you the truth I liked it." Rita and Andrew were totaly forgotten as they rambled on and on about their apologies. "Umm guys,guys...oh well I guess we should go Rita I think Darien can take Serena home." Rita gave a nod and a wink as they looked at the two love struck idiots and then gave a sigh and walked away with Rita. "Umm Darien, where did Andrew and Rita go. They left us! Their car is gone, you know some how I think they planned this to." well I should be getting home Darien its almost ten and my dad is gonna kill me if I don't get home. I could take you home, I mean if you don't want to walk that is." Darien then gave a lop sided grin as serena nodded her head in agreement. "Thanks Dairen for driving me home I really apreciate it. your welcome Serena. He then leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Stunned, Serena then touched her cheek and opend the car door. Stumbling over her own two feet she clumsly opend the door to her house. "So how was the resturaunt,...and your date." Ilene wispered to Serena then looking over to Ken to see if he heard. "All I can say mom, is that what ever happend tonight, will probably only happen once in a life time." THE END
