Serena's Summer RoseWritten by Sailor Puu
Chapter 4
The four walked into the air conditioned burger place.
"I want a
table
by the window!" squealed Rini.
"That's fine. Mina and I will go get
us
some food." Serena said.
"I'll stay here with you then, Rini."
"Okay
Lita.
I'll go get us some straws."
Rini got up and went over to the
condoments
table to get some straws. Lita sat back into her seat. Just then, she
spied
Raye, Amy and Catsy at a nearby table. Lita waved to her friends.
"Hey
guys!" She yelled.
Raye was the first to notice Lita. She waved
back,
and
then tapped Amy on the shoulder, and directed her view to Lita's
table.
Amy
finished her french fry, gathered the rest of her lunch and walked
over.
"Hey there Lita."
"Hi Amy. Pull up a seat."
Raye and Catsy soon
followed
and did the same.
"Hey Raye. Hiya Catsy. I see you guys had the
same
idea."
"Yeah. It's really far too hot outside today."
Catsy said
taking
a
sip of her soda. Just then, Rini came back to the table with a
handful of
straws.
"Hi everyone. Lita? Do you think this will be enough?"
Lita
looked the bundle of straws over.
"Yep. Now we just have to wait for
the
food."
A few minutes later, Mina and Serena came back with the food.
"Sorry it took so long, but the guy behind the counter didn't know how
to
supersize Serena's ALREADY supersized value meal."
"I'm hungry..."
Serena
said in her defense.
"You always are..." Raye said between bites of
her
salad.
"Hi Catsy. I haven't seen you in a while. How are ya doing?"
Mina
asked as she sat down.
"Oh, same old same old. Nothing new. Avery
is
still on vacation, and Prisma, Birdie and I have been really busy with
the
store lately- this is my lunchbreak. I'm trying to relax. Business
has
been booming lately."
Catsy smiled.
"So what are you guys doing
today?"
Rini asked.
"We're going shopping, and then to the movies."
"Wow.
That's
a
lot of excitement for a little girl!" Amy said.
"I promised Catsy I'd
help
at the store today." Raye said finishing her salad.
Catsy checked
her
watch. "Oh-no...we're late! Prisma is going to kill us! Nice to see
you
guys again!! We have to get together later! I'll call you Mina!"
"Okay!
Bye Catsy!" Mina laughed.
"Yeah. Bye guys!"
Raye grabbed her
drink, and
ran out the door behind Catsy.
"So what about you, Amy?" Serena said
with
a mouthful of french fries.
"Serena, you look like a washing
machine!"
Rini groaned.
"I do not!" Whined Serena.
"Do too!" Rini stuck out
her
tounge at Serena.
"Do not!" Serena did the same.
"Now which one do
you
think is the 15 year old?"
Mina teardropped.
"Neither-" Amy shook
her
head.
"They're acting like 3 year olds!"
"Can you two try to keep it
down!?"
Lita raised her voice.
"Sorry." Serena and Rini both sunk
into
their chairs.
"Now Amy, as we were saying, what are your plans
today?"
Mina said still shaking her head. "I was thinking about getting
started on
next year's work."
Lita rolled her eyes.
"Amy, it's summer. School
has
been out for 3 days, you already want to start next year!"
While Lita
was
talking, Rini threw a burnt french fry at Serena. "That's it you
little
spore!"
Serena jumped up.
"Don't even think about it!" Mina said.
Serena
sat down.
"Sorry Rini- just don't throw things at me."
"How about
you
come
with us, Amy? It'll be way more fun than school work!!"
Lita sat up.
"Alright. I can always start tomorrow."
"Great. Let's get going."
Mina
and Serena dumped the trash, and they left for the park.
