A Night at the Movies
Prologue
Hey, my first fan fic, please don't hurt me!

"Come on, Dar, it'll be fun," Andrew pleaded with his best friend.
"I told you, Andy, I've already seen that movie," the other boy replied over his coffee.
"How? It premiers in theaters tomorrow!"
"I went to an advance screening."
"Yeah right!"
Andrew knew Darien was telling the truth about the advance screening but he had a special reason for wanting his friend to come with him and Rita the next night.
"PLEASE, Darien," Andrew begged, giving him a pout not unlike the one Serena sometimes wore.
"Oh fine, but only if you stop pouting like that, you're embarrassing me." Andrew grinned widely, phase one completed,
"Great!!! Meet us outside the theater at 10:00!"
"10:00 PM?!?!"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Andrew! That's really late! I have things to do early Saturday morning!"
"You little liar! I saw your day planner, you got nothin going on!"
Darien shook his head; leave it to his best friend to discover his schedule.
"See you later, Andrew," he said, standing up.
After paying for the coffee, Darien pursued with his normal 'I'm-Mr.-cool,- girls-throw-themselves-at-my-feet-but-I-really-don't-care' walk out of the place. Watching him through the clear glass walls and door, Andrew chuckled as a whirlwind of blond hit Darien straight on. Though he couldn't hear what was going on, he was sure it was somewhere along the lines of,
"Watch it, Meatball Head!"
"Oh!!!! Darien, you insensitive jerk! What do you mean 'watch it'? YOU ran into ME this time!"
"Yeah right!!"
After a few minutes of petty bickering, Serena threw her hands into the air in exasperation and stormed into the arcade/ café. Darien watched her go, a little smile on his face, and then walked off. Serena slumped on the stool, buried her face into her arms, and screamed.
"Run into Darien again, Sere?"
"What gave it away?"
"You only have that scowl and blush at the same time because you ran into Darien and happen to like said Darien," Andrew replied, placing a chocolate shake in front of the girl. The blush in Serena's already rosy cheeks, grew significantly and she put her hands up to hide it,
"Anyway, on a somewhat lighter note, did you get the tickets?"
Serena reached into her bag and pulled out seven movie tickets. She placed them on the counter in front of Andrew's ever growing eyes,
"You told me you could only get three!"
"Which is the half truth, I was given ten, gave three to my parents and little brother, promised three to you for yourself, Rita, and Lizzie, and of course my friends would NEVER forgive me if I left them out, so I'm here to deliver the last seven tickets to tomorrow night's 10:30 showing and drink a delicious chocolate shake!" The glass doors whooshed open and Raye's voice rang out,
"Oh Serena!!!" Serena glanced at her watch and, winking at Andrew, stashed the tickets back into her bag.
"Stick around and watch the fun!" she whispered and turned to her friends,
"Where HAVE you been? I've been waiting here forever!!"
"What do you mean, Serena? We're early!" Raye replied.
"Oh yeah, RRIIIGGGHHHTTT!!! I have half a mind to just keep these," Serena retorted, bringing forth the, now infamous, tickets. For half a moment, the other four believed her, till they caught the glimmer in the blue eyes and the smile creeping around Andrew's face.
"Ahhh, we don't deserve a friend like you, Sere," Lita said, also laughing.
"Yeah, Serena, you're the best, buddy, pal, friend, comrade, ally," Mina said, milking the situation for all it was worth. Everyone glanced at Amy for a little bit of support. She must have felt them watching her because she looked up from the textbook she was reading,
"What?"
She continued to look confused as her friends laughed.
