genre: first season romance awwwww
rated: mistletoe G
disclaimer: Do you know minna, I'd never even seen real mistletoe
before until this past Christmas? I was in this flower shop and
spotted some packaged...except it was dried out....so I asked
the girl working there, "Is that...dried out mistletoe?"
When she nodded I was like "Why would anyone want DEAD mistletoe???"
She just gave me this look like ~Do I look like the kind of person
who would waste the hours of my job contemplating that totally
irrelovant fact?~

Jeesh, some people I tell you.

Oh er, so the point is, I don't own any mistetoe....mumblemutterorsailormoonmutter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was now some time later...

Mina and Andrew stood giggling in some corner, hearts in their eyes. Mina had pinned
the mistletoe in her hair....Serena knew the romantic girl would keep it forever as
a momento.

sigh.

Serena stood in the doorway as Darien cut across the room to her.

"Did you make the calls?" She asked calmly.

He nodded.

"Excellent...."

They smiled secret evil smiles at one another and leaned up close, lips a mere breath
apart. To anyone else, they looked like lovers entranced in their own little world....
that was somewhat true....but these two were in their own little world of...EVIL.

"Is the mistletoe still where we left it?" He whispered seductively in her ear.

"Mmhmm..." She giggled.

"I love you..." He joked in a suave criminal type voice, but he meant it.

She giggled again, "Together, we shall rule the world!" (In later years she was to
remember this comment and burst out in uncontrollable laughter at a very important
royal meeting in the palace of Crystal Tokyo....)

She looked into his eyes, "I love you too..."

Then they really were lost in their own little world.

"Serena...that dress..." He murmured as his hands clung to her soft waist.

She blushed, "You really like it?" She asked, suddenly shy again.

He leaned down and kissed her neck making her muffle an embarassed squeal in his shoulder,
"If I answer that you'll be forcing me to admit that I like letting you drive me crazy!"

She let her fingers wander into his dark hair then and kissed him for being so sweet.

Rei, Lita and Ami stood over near the now bald and rather straggly Christmas tree.
Rei scowled blackly.

"You know," She said bitterly, looking from Mina and Andrew to Serena and Darien,
"All this kissy-kissy romance is making me want to ralph!"

Lita and Ami sweatdropped.

Lita's fists balled, "Who knew this party would turn into one of THOSE parties....maybe
we should pound a few people back into sense."

She turned to Andrew and they followed her gaze, "Like Andrew and Mina for their bonehead
matchmaking scheme for starters!!!!"

Ami sweatdropped....oh no, now she was all alone with the two tempermental scouts...and
they were looking for a fight....

~Why me?~ Thought Ami, she rolled her eyes and that's when she saw it....mistletoe...sooo
much mistletoe....everywhere...hung in every corner and cranny.

Her eyes shot over to Serena and Darien but they were gone...then her eyes glanced through the
arcade doors and outside...and widened in horror.

"L-l-lita....Rei...."

"What?" They exclaimed in annoyed unison, still planning the tar and feathering of
the lovestruck Andrew and Mina--matchmakers extraordinaire.

"It-It's....it's Chad...and Ken...and and G-g-g-reg...." She croaked.

They turned frowning just as the three strolled into the arcade.

"What are THEY doing here?" Rei snapped, then turned to Ami, "And what's the big
deal anyway?"

"Look up." Ami whispered, suddenly feeling faint.

Lita and Rei looked slowly up...a feeling of impending doom in their hearts.

"Uh oh...."


Serena and Darien stood off to one side, high fiving.

Revenge....


The three boys looked around for their friends....Rei gripped Ami's arm, then Lita's.
"Run..."

They took off in opposite directions, trying to duck out of their respective guy's gazes
and find a place devoid of mistletoe....but alas, Darien and Serena had accumulated
mass amounts of it....even after grinding much of it to a find dust....

Rei was the first to be cornered....Chad spotted her.

"Hey Rei!" Chad greeted, heading over.

Rei's violet eyes widened, gazing desperately from side to side....there were people
everywhere! She didn't have time to get away.

A desperate glance upwards revealed mistletoe...everywhere.....

"No! Chad! Don't--"

"Don't what Rei?" He was already in front of her...

Rei chanced a glance over and spotted Serena and Darien smiling at her. Serena was
laughing and pointing at her. Rei's eyes narrowed.

Chad touched her shoulder, "Hey..earth to Rei..."

Rei's gaze shot back to Chad, then upwards to the mistletoe. Chad followed her gaze and
instantly turned a bright bright red.

"...dude...."

Rei sweatdropped, then started yelling, "CHAAAAAD!!!! YOU JUST *HAD* TO COME TO THE CHRISTMAS
PARTY DIDN'T YOU! AND DID YOU LISTEN TO ME WHEN I WARNED YOU NOT TO COME OVER HERE??? *NO*!
NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!!"

Then she kissed him.

Serena and Darien high-fived again, "Darling, you're a genius." She complimented.

"Hey, this was a joint effort. You thought of the guys....I thought of the mistletoe."

"Touche...now, where's Lita?"

Lita was threatening an approaching Ken with violence....
"KEN! I'M WARNING YOU! NOT A STEP CLOSER! I'LL ATTACK I SWEAR!"

Ken gazed at her wonderingly, "Lita...what in world?"

He came closer and instead of attacking she turned to bolt away in sheer terror.
Unfortunately the Christmas tree hampered her efforts.

The tall, abused tree shook and bent, then flung her backwards, straight into Ken, scraping
some mistletoe off the ceiling in the process and sending it floating down in a small rain
of green around them as they lay sprawled across each other on the floor.

Ken looked around them, "It's...raining mistletoe?" He managed dazedly.

"Ken, I'm going to beat the living daylights out of you!" She growled, but instead
she grabbed his neck and pulled him into a kiss.

Ken's half-dizzy mind shut off completely.

Serena chuckled, "That one was pretty funny...."

Darien laughed as well, "That Christmas tree.....just look at it...."

Serena turned and the two bent over in chokes of unrestrained laughter. It was missing
chunks of needles in various locations...all the ornaments were gone, the top was bent
and streaks of tinsel clung to the bottom branches in disarray.

Darien collected himself first, "Now...where'd Greg and Ami go....?"

They spotted Greg edging backwards towards the arcade doors...evidentally he'd borne
witness to the first two incidents and put everything together himself...now he was
looking about wildly and trying for an escape.

"Uh oh, we'd better do something." Said Serena and started towards him when Darien
pulled her to a stop.

"No need...." He murmured pointing.

Ami was edging backwards towards Greg and the door as well. A collision was inevitable.

Darien and Serena simply stood and waited.

It was worth the wait.

CLUNK.

A panicked Greg and Ami flung themselves around,

"Oh! I'm sorry I--"

"GREG!"

"AMI!"

They were nose to nose....tomatoe red.

Ami broke down then, burying her embarassed face in his chest and wailing,
"I never MEANT to get involved in all this Greg! It's not my fault! I thought this
whole scheme was a terrible idea!"

Greg frowned in confusion...what on EARTH was she talking about???
"Uh...there there Ames..." he patted her back awkwardly.

He glanced around, then leaned down to whisper, "Ames...maybe if we just slip out the door
no one will notice..."

Ami looked up hopefully.

Suddenly they were surrounded, eyes glaring at them from all directions.

Lita, Ken, Rei, Chad, Serena, Darien......

"Oh no you don't!"

Greg and Ami turned red once again.

Everyone stared expectantly.

Greg frowned and took off his coat, throwing it over their heads so no one could see.
But then they stayed in that coat for a long long time....

Serena giggled and pulled Darien away, "Our work is done..."

Then our heroes tucked themselves in a dark corner.

"Now....where were we?" Serena smiled, arms wrapping around his neck.

Darien grinned and kissed her.....and this continued for some time without interuption.
Finally, when Serena pulled breathlessly away and saw Darien's eyes clouded to her satisfaction
she voiced the one small thing that had been on her mind since the first kiss.

"Uhhh...Darien?"

"Yes Serena?"

"This is probably going to sound crazy....but,uh....your kisses kind of taste like...mistletoe."

SWEATDROP

"Uh..heh heh heh...you must be crazy Serena...."

Hey, some secrets were best kept to oneself. ^_~
