HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

This Valentine's Day is gonna be different, the girl with blonde pigtails stopped outside the apartment door. She stooped down and set a rose, and a note in front of the door. She knocked on the door three times, and then ran down the hallway, looking over her shoulder.

"Oomph," a masculine came from the body she had just bumped into as she continued walking. She closed her eyes and groaned. She turned around and looked up. It was Darien, "Hello, Meatball Head," he said.

She gulped and said, "Don't call me Meatball Head," and she walked away, not wanting a fight. As she walked away, she heard Darien walk to his door. She pressed the button for the elevator. Twice. She muttered, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, please!" Finally, the door opened, and she stepped in, turning around while pressing the button for the lobby floor. She looked over at Darien who had by now picked up the note, and the rose and was looking at her speculatively. The door closed as she watched him open the envelope, and he glanced over in surprise.

What's this? Darien thought as Serena walked away, she didn't even protest the nickname as much as usual. Oh well, I've got to study for that quiz tomorrow. He walked up to his door and saw a glimpse of red on the ground. He bent down and pick up a rose and an envelope. He opened the note, smelling the scent of the bloom.

The note said, Darien, I have wanted to tell you that I love you for a very long time. I know you think that I am just silly klutz, but I know this is true love and I hope that you will be my Valentine tomorrow. Love, Serena.

"Serena's in love with me," Darien whispered out loud, and looked over at Serena as the elevator door's pinged and they closed, hiding her anxious face.

"I'd rather be your Valentine starting tonight," Darien stood on her porch that evening when she reached her house. She smiled and held out her hand, and he drew her into his embrace. He bent his head down and touch his lips to hers, tasting the sweet honey of her warm mouth.
