Summery: Serena Jacob's and Darien Shield's have been best friends since
 the day Darien was introduced to Serena!! They were, infact, more than
 just friends, but what people would call young lovers! Yet, Darien had
 to leave to go to school and the two were deeply hurt and completely
 lost without the other. Now, seven years latter, Serena has found
 "happiness" again, but that all can change when one person from her past
 returns.

Monday 

"Sorry Sere that I?m late. I stopped to talk to Andrew thinking I had
 plenty of time. I guess I forgot to check my watch."

"It?s ok Mina, I totally understand. I don?t have to be back at the store
 until three anyway."

"The usual for you Miss. Serena?" 

"Yes, Justin that sounds fine."

"And for you Miss. Mina?" 

"Whatever Serena order is fine." 

"I?ll be back shortly with your orders." 

"So have you and Andrew decided on a date yet?" 

"Well, not really. It seems to all depend on you." 

"Me? Why?"

"I was hoping that my bestest friend would be able and willing to make my
 wedding dress for me. Please Serena, say you will design and make my
 wedding dress!? 

"Mina, I?m sure that you have the top designers lined up with plans already
 made and waiting for your approval for your wedding." 

"That?s just it, when the top designers make me dresses the dresses are 
theirs designed for whoever will pay the highest price. But when you design
 cloths for me they are for ME, not just anyone." 

Justin brought them a simple chicken salad and refilled their lemonades. 

"Thank you Justin." Serena said with a smile. 

"I will check back to see how you are doing." After saying that he left them. 

"Mmm, I?m glad I went with you, this is good, but back to my wedding dress. 
Will you please help me out and say yes?" 

Serena took a slow bite of her salad leaving Mina in suspense. She slowly
 chewed, by now Mina was at the edge of her chair. Serena finally swallowed
 then reached for her lemonade. 

"Serena!" 

After a drink, "I would love to, Mina." 

"Yeah!" Mina jumped up from her chair and hugged Serena. "I knew you would
 agree!" 

"I assume you want me to start sketches soon, so write down some of you
 ideas on how you want your dress designed." 

"Sere, dear, there is one more thing, I would like to ask you, before I 
must go." 

"What would that be?" 

"Please design the bridesmaid dresses? I just don?t trust anyone other than
 you to design everything." 

"What about the groom?s and groom?s men?s tuxedos, you want me to make new
 ones just for them?" Serena said with a laugh. 

But Mina took her seriously, "Would you? I mean you will have to talk to
 Andrew about it, but it sounds like a good idea. How long will all this
 take?" 

"It depends, I won?t even have a clue until the sketches on everything are
 done." 

"Thank you so much Sere, for agreeing to this. At least I know that everyone
 in the wedding will be dressed magnificently. It was good having lunch with
 you. I?ll call you in a day or two. Stop and see Andrew sometime." Mina was
 gone hopping into her lovely mustang. Serena just laughed. 


Monday Night 

"Sere, please? The band just canceled and I don?t have any back up 
scheduled. I?ll pay you double?" 

"Go up, Sis, I don?t mind. I love hearing you sing." 

"Keep your money Lita, I will sing. Just pick up the check tonight for us."

"You got it." 

Serena stood up from her table and calmly walked up onto the small stage. 
She wore a light pink strapless dress. It showed off her young women curves 
just the right amount, so she still felt descent. Plus a long slit that went 
up to mid-thigh, showing off her long-leg. 

"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. I am sorry to inform you that the band 
that was schedule for tonight had to cancel at the last minute. But I hope 
that you all will consider me a reasonable replacement." 

"Let us hear your angel voice." 

"Sing for us angel it has been to long." 

"Well I hope I can live up to your expectations." Her opening notes started 
and she came in right on time and in tone. 


'I wonder, I wonder 
I wonder why each little bird 
Has a someone 
To sing to 
A gay little love melody?'


~ At the bar ~ ?Who is she? Do I know her? It can?t be...but it has to be!? 


'I wonder, I wonder 
If my heart keeps singing 
Will my heart go winging 
To someone 
Who?ll find me 
And bring back a love song to me?'


The song ended the customers erupted in applause and cheers. Serena just 
said thank you and blushed, she then continued on with her next song. 


At the bar~ 

"Ken who is that ?Angel? up on the stage?" Darien asked. 

"Serena Jacobs and she is an angel in all ways." answered the young man 
sitting next to him. 

"And you would be?" 

"Sammy Jacobs, her brother." 

"Serena would sing here when we first opened, for a little extra cash and 
a free meal." Ken stated. 

"Of course I would always feed Sere." Lita said entering the conversation. 
"Nice to see you in town again Dare." 

"Finally become a doctor?" Ken asked his good friend. 

"Yes, been a one for a year. Just got a job at the hospital here in town." 

"Wow! Will we be seeing you down at the arcade still?" 

"As long as Andrew owns it you can find me there." Darien swirled around 
his seat in order to look at Serena. 

"How long are you home or Sammy?" Lita asked. 

"Another day or two, I?m working at a camp this summer." 

"I thought Andrew had you convinced to work for him?" Sammy shook his head 
no. "You will be back for the wedding, won?t you?" 

"If Sere has anything to say about is, I will! How long will you keep her 
singing tonight?" 

"Until she gets booed off stage." 

"What? Who would boo her off? She?s beautiful!" Darien wondered out loud. 

"Just joking Dare, once Serena gets going she won?t stop." 

"I better be going. I have to meet Andrew early tomorrow." 

"Bye!" The three said. 

?I?m back love, I just hop I?m not to late.? Darien thought stealing on 
last glance of Serena. 


Tuesday 

"Serena, dear, come over and tell me all about this grand idea you had." 
Andrew said seeing the blonde that had just walked into the Arcade. 

Today she was dressed in a simple baby pink sundress that swirled when she 
twirled. Of course it was a Serenity Original. 

"I simply don?t know what you are talking about Andrew." 

"Dare listen to this, all Mina talks about last night was about her lunch 
date with Sere and this grand idea she had for me and my groom?s men. And 
now she doesn?t know what I?m talking about." 

"Andrew it was not my idea. I was simply making a joke and that bride of 
yours, dear cousin-to-be, thought it seriously would be a good idea." 

"Sounds like your cousin, but she never did get around telling me what the 
idea was." 

"Along with designing her dress and the braid?s maid?s dresses, she wants 
me to design the guy?s tuxedos. They will of course be traditional, just 
new and Serenity Originals." 

"Serenity?" Darien asked. 

"My designing name and store name!" Serena said noticing that there was 
a man sitting next to her at the counter. 

"Nice name." Darien said turning towards Serena. Andrew kind of slipped 
away. 

"Darien!? It is really you?" 

"Yes!" Serena leaped off her chair and went over and gave Darien a hug. 

"How are you? Goodness it?s been six years since you left. Allot has 
happened. You will be here for the wedding won?t you?" 

"Depends if you have to make everything I might be old and gray and unable 
to get up to go." Darien said trying to make her smile. 

"Wrong wedding. I didn?t have to deign anything for this one." Serena said 
a little sad. Darien gave her a questioning look. "You did get the 
invitation, I sent you?" Serena looked over at Andrew who just shrugged 
his shoulders. That?s when Darien noticed the diamond on Serena?s left hand. 

"When?s the wedding?" 

"Two week?s! We must get together sometime." 

"Tonight! For dinner, I?ll cook." 

"Sounds traffic." 

"I?m in the same apartment. How about six thirty?"

"I?ll be there. It is so good to see you again, but now I must be going. 
Sammy will be wondering where I am." 

"See you tonight at six-thirty, don?t forget." 

"I won?t. Bye Andrew." She left with the biggest smile on her face. 

"You could have warned me that she is engaged." 

"Like anyone actually likes her fianc鮠He wears a mask in front of Sere."

"Well I have two weeks to make her change her mind about this guy." 

"Good Luck!" 

"Thanks, I?m going to need it." 


Tuesday Night 

At promptly at six-thirty Serena knocked on Darien?s door.

"Hi Serena come in." 

"I didn?t know what you were making so I brought over my favorite wine." 
Serena said with a smile. 

"Moonlight Raspberry! Perfect, I didn?t think you a big drinker after the 
prom incident!"

"That was not my fault, it was yours for not warning me." 

**FLASHBACK** 
"Darien, I can?t believe I?m actually at a Prom."

"Serena, your here, and after your shock wears down you?ll have fun." 

"You better no leave me, after dragging me here." Serena warned even 
though Darien didn?t really have to drag her to his prom. 

"Why don?t I go get us so punch that will help your nerves." Darien said 
while he was still shocked how beautiful Serena looked. ?I?m sure glad I 
asked her to my Senior Prom. Like you would have asked anyone else except 
for the young woman that you love.? 
**End FLASHBACK** 

"Lucky for you my parents thought I was staying over at Mina?s after Prom." 

"A passed out girl in my bed, and you say lucky me?" 

"It wasn?t the first time, and it most defiantly wasn?t the last. Anyway, 
you know I like this wine, because it isn?t that strong and takes more than 
a bottle to get anyone close to being drunk let alone passed out." 

"Yes I do. Why don?t we sit out on the balcony and eat?" Serena followed 
Darien out to the balcony were table for two was set. Darien ?helped? 
Serena be seated, then he poured the wine in two wineglasses. He then 
served a wonderful meal. 

"You never lost your touch in the kitchen." 

"And for that I cam glad." 

"Mmm, this is good. I have a special surprise for you after we finish."

"Serena, you know how much I hate surprises." 

"I know." Serena said with a devilish look, while taking a drink of her 
wine."

"Anyway, I can get it out of you?" 

"Nope!" 

They soon were finished with the meal. Grabbing their win glasses and the 
bottle they went back into the Living Room. Serena walked to the coffee 
table where she left her purse and another bad. She took out a tin. 

"Now you better appreciate these, because you know I hate to share." Serena 
opened the lid and Darien could see fresh double-chocolate-chip cookies. 
"No I did not make them. They?re from Lita." 

"Sere, you remembered?" 

"Of course after trying so many times to make them for you I think I would 
remember your favorite kind of cookie." 

"And they go perfect with your favorite wine." 

"Cookies and wine? Only us only us would love such a combination." Darien 
gave her a look that said ?why not us?? "I got something else. Are you up 
to a movie?" 

"Of course." 

"Ok." Serena took out a movie and put it in the VCR then went to sit on 
the couch next to Darien and eat cookies and drink wine. 

"Got to watch previews." Darien said. 

"Wouldn?t have it any other way." Serena said smiling up at him. 

As soon as they got a short way into the previews Darien realized what 
movie it was. 

"Come on Sere haven?t we seen this movie enough times?"

"No, because nothing beats the first time..." she trailed off remembering. 

**FLASHBACK** 
"What movie did you pick?" Serena asked. 

"James Bond, you said you wanted action and adventure." 

"Perfect I love these movies. Please don?t fast-forward through the 
beginning." 

"Preview Lover?" Serena shook her head yes. "I?m one, too. Maybe we should 
start a club." 

"I don?t think so, Dare. Now sit down and watch." The two were seated next 
to each other watching the previews, but once the actual movie started, 
they realized it wasn?t a James Bond movie at all. 

"ET?" Darien asked Serena started to laugh. 

"You...didn?t...check...the...tape...inside...the...case!" Serena managed 
to get out through all of her laughter! 
**END OF FLASHBACK** 

Both Serena and Darien were in a fit of laughter over the memory. Once 
they settled down they watched the one movie they loved to watch together. 

When the movie was over Serena got up to rewind the movie when her cell 
phone rang. She walked backed out to the balcony for the call. Darien got 
up to take the video out and turn off the VCR. Then Serena walked back 
into the Living Room with a troubled look. 

"What?s wrong?" 

"Nothing." She made a smile for him. "I should be going." 

"Sere, it?s not even ten yet." 

"Will you be at the arcade for lunch?"

"I can be." 

"I?ll see you then at twelve-thirty." Serena kissed Darien lightly on the 
cheek then left him in wonderment.
