        Hi.  Well, before you start reading, disclaimers do apply.  Also,
 author's note: the flashbacks of the chapter are me telling them from
Serena's point of view.

Dead Scouts
Chapter 2: Telling Dad

        "You did what?!?" yelled Serena's dad after they told him they were
getting married.  "Relax, dad, we're just getting married, nothing bad."
Said Serena, a little angry.  Darien then chose to hide behind Serena.
He was scared of Serena's dad.  "We love each other, dad." Said Darien from
behind his fiance.  "Ohh," said Serena's dad angrily, "Don't call me dad
mister, and you're not in love."  "But we do love each other dad." Said
Serena.  "He's just brain washing you!" shouted her dad.  "But dad, we do.
I'll tell you when we first met.  Maybe that'll convince you."

~~~ Flashback ~~~

I was running to school, and Darien was on his morning jog.  I had a piece
of
toast in my mouth, so I couldn't see anything.  He was checking his pulse to
see how fast it was.  I turned around a rose garden, and ran into him.  I
fell on the roses, and got a thorn in my butt.  He was really sorry.  Then
he
insisted that he help take it out.  So, I bent over and he pulled it out.
Then he said, "Ya know, you have a pair of meatballs on your head, Meatball
Head.

~~~ Stop Flashback ~~~

        "I was mad, but I thought he was cute.  "And I wanted her" Darien
said.  "That doesn't help us muffin. "  Serena said.

~~~ Resume Flashback ~~~

        Anyways, I wasted no time getting to school after that.  That day we
had recess.  I went with Molly over to the field where people play football.
To my surprise, Darien was showing 'em some plays.  He had just walked by
and
decided he wanted to play.  "Ohhh!  I hate that guy, Molly!"  Is what I said
.  Darien said he'd be a receiver.  I wanted to be a safety.  We got picked
on different teams.  Well, someone was throwing it to Darien and I
intercepted it.  I was running to the touchdown and faked everyone out.  He
was on my tail though.  I was 10 feet away and Darien tackled me.  When I
hit
the ground, he was still there.  His arms were around me, and he was
squeezing the air out of me.  " Hey meatball head, " he said.  I asked if he
would get off.  He did, but said that I wouldn't intercept it again.  After
school, I was skipping home, and I fell flat on my face.  I got up and saw
that Darien was walking by.  I waited behind a corner until Darien walked
by.
Then I purpously ran into him.  Then he said "Hey meatball head?You know,
those meatballs are growing on me.  I think you're kinda, sorta, cute.
Wanna go for a shake Saturday?  My treat."  I said"Ya!  Sure!!"

        "I'm still not convinced that you love each other."said Serena's
dad.
"Bunny, what about our first date?  And our 2nd, 3rd, and our 4th?"asked
Darien, brave enough to be on his own with no one hiding him.  "You're
right,
muffin."said Serena.

~~~Flashback~~~

        It was Saturday and I was on my way to the shake place.  "I'm going
to Ami's to study!" I said.  I ran out, got on my bike, and was about to get
going, when Darien pulled up in his Ferarri.  "Hop in, meatball head." he
said.  I got off and went in the car.  We drove off.  When we got in, we
ordered two chocolate shakes.  "Darien, why do you call me meatball head?" I
asked. "I,um,I d-d-d-don't,um,really,um,kn-kn-kn-know. Well,th-the
reason,um,
is that..."darien stuttered,"the balls on your head look like meatballs.
Yeah,that's it." I answered to this by saying," Is that all? 'Cause I
really want to know." "Also,because it's my way of hitting on you,you're
sexy." I was surprised,and scared,all in one.So surprised,that I dropped
my spoon."I'll just go get another one." I said. I got up and went
to get a spoon,and when I was coming back,I saw him crying.It was then I
knew
that we would be going on a second date.I sat down and said,"Do you want to
go on a second date?" "I don't deserve a girl like you,Serena."Darien said.
"No Darien,if anything,I don't deserve a guy like you,but I like you enough
to try.So, do you?" "I guess,if you think I'm a good guy.

        "I guess you guys love each other,and it's great you're getting
married." Ken said
