Two months after previous episode.

Scene: Shopping Center

The whole gang is out shopping for maternity cloths for Serena.

Mina: This maternity section has a lot of cloths.

Lita: I still can't believe we're here.

Raye: Yeah it only seems like a couple weeks not two months since Serena told us about Rini.

Serena: This dress looks good.

Serena holds up a nice looking pink dress.

Amy: That does look good. I didn't know if you'd have a real taste for maternity cloths, Serena.

Serena: Well some of these look pretty good and like I have a choice.

Raye: The way Serena ate before the baby she'd need maternity before she was pregnant.

Everyone gets sweatdrops and Serena gets mad at Raye.

Amy: Raye, stop getting Serena upset and Serena, calm down.

Lita: Now Raye say you're sorry so Serena will calm down!

Raye: I'm sorry Serena. I didn't mean it.

Serena: Oh thanks Raye. I've gotten so emotional. Man are my hormones screwed up.

Raye: Aren't the y normally. Oops! Sorry, I can't help it?

Everyone gets big sweatdrops.

Darien: It's all right Serena. She doesn't mean any of it.

Looks at Raye.

Darien: DO YOU RAYE?

Raye: No I didn't mean any of it.

Mina: Man, Darien's been extra protective of Serena lately because of the baby.

Lita: He can't help it. It's fatherly and husbandly instinct.

Mina holds up a dress.

Mina: Serena, do you like this one?

Serena: It's beautiful. Thanks Mina.

Mina: You're welcome.

Lita: Hey where are Rini and Amanda?

Amy: They went to another friend named Eric's birthday party.

Mina: Rini's been taking this rather coolly.

Darien: She told me she's looking forward to seeing herself if it's her.

Lita: What do you mean if it's her?

Darien gets small sweatdrops.

Darien: The doctor said it could be either a boy or a girl. It's too early to tell, but from what the doctor says he says it might be a boy.

Mina: That's a shocker. Maybe you're going to have more children than you thought.

Darien: Maybe so! I wouldn't mind it at all.

Amy: I don't think Serena mind at all she's having a ball buying maternity cloths.

Everyone laughs.

Amy: I think it's time to go pick up Rini and Amanda from the party.

Lita: Well let's got then. We'll leave them to their shopping.

Scene: Eric's Party

Rini: This is one of the best parties that I've ever been to, Eric.

Eric: Thanks, Rini! (blushes)

Amanda: I love it too.

Eric: I'm glad that Rini brought you to the party, Amanda. I hope we can become friends. Rini and me haven't been that good of friends so far so maybe you can help, huh?

Amanda: Sounds like fun.

Rini: Where's my backpack?

Amanda: I think you left it in the livingroom.

The doorbell rings.

Eric: I'll get it. Rini, Amanda! It's Amy and Lita!

Rini: Coming.

Amanda: Thanks for letting me come to your party Eric.

Eric: I'm glad you came. See you! Are you still coming over to do the science project tomorrow, Rini?

Rini: Yeah of course.

Eric: Great!

Eric gives her a weird look that no one but Rini notices. Then Eric runs off

Amy: You ready to go girls?

Both: Yep!

Lita: Well let's go. Serena should be through shopping by now.

Scene: Darien and Serena's Apartment

Serena: I love these cloths Darien. Thanks!

Darien: Anything for my meatball head.

Serena: You spoil me!

Darien: I love to.

They kiss and stay that way for a few minutes and then the doorbell rings.

Darien: I'll get it.

Darien answers the door.

Darien: Oh hi Amy, Lita. Come on in. Rini did you have fun at the party with Amanda.

Rini: Yeah it was a blast!

Amanda: Ditto!

Amy: Come on Amanda, its time to go home.

Amanda: Bye Rini.

Rini: Bye Amanda.

Scene: Rini's Room

Rini's writing in her diary. Here's what it says.

Dear diary,

Today I went to Eric's birthday party with Amanda. It was so much fun only because Amanda was there. I think that Eric doesn't like me because right before we left he gave me this look and he treats me weird. He is always making fun of my hair.

All of a sudden there is a knock on the door.

Rini: Hold on a minute.

She hides her diary.

Rini: Come on in.

Serena: Hi ya Rini! How ya doing?

Rini: I'm fine. The question should be how are you doing?

Serena: Now you don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I want to know how you're doing. You seem really down.

Rini: I'm now down I'm just confused.

Serena: About what?

Rini: You wouldn't understand.

Serena: Rini, I've gone through almost everything that you have to go through at your age. So, whatever it is when you're ready to talk to me I'll listen.

Rini: All right.

Serena: It's your bedtime. Want me to tuck you in?

Rini: As long as you promise to read me a story.

Serena: All right. (chuckles)

Serena tucks Rini in and starts to read her a story.

Serena: Once upon a time….

A half-hour later Rini falls asleep and Serena gives her a kiss on the forehead and goes to her and Darien's room.

Serena: Rini's fast asleep.

Darien: I thought you'd be in here telling me she wanted me to read her a story.

Serena: Nope she wanted me to read her one and it really surprised me.

Darien: So when do you think the girls will have another meeting.

Serena: I have no clue.

Darien: You look so beautiful tonight.

Serena: Oh Darien!

They kiss.

Darien: Hmm! I enjoyed that.

Serena: You're not the only one. Ow!

Darien: Are you ok?

Serena: Yeah the baby kicked.

Darien: Can I feel?

Serena: It's your baby to you know.

Darien puts his hand on her stomach and feels the baby kick.

Darien: Wow that is so cool yet weird.

Serena: Why is it weird?

Darien: I just think it's weird yet awesome that there's actually a living being inside you.

Serena: You think it's weird! I'm the one who has the living being in my body. (looks guilty) I'm sorry I guess it's just another mood swing.

Darien: I know. Anything bad that you say I don't take to heart because I know that it's not really you saying that, but the hormones are doing the talking.

Serena: Oh, thank you Darien. I love you, Darien!

Darien: I love you too, my meatball head.

Scene: The next afternoon at Serena and Darien's apartment

Darien is just coming home from work.

Darien: Serena, you'll never guess what happened at work today!

Serena: What?

Darien: I got promoted and was given an assignment to work on a movie.

Serena: WOW!

Darien: The problem is that I'll have to go away for a couple weeks.

Serena: To where?

Darien: Rockland, Maine.

Serena: That's pretty far away. Are you sure that you should leave at a time like this? (looks embarrassed) Um, Well I mean with the new enemy and everything.

Darien: I know it'll be hard for you to see me go, but I'll be coming back in a couple weeks. When I come back from my trip we can spend as much time together as possible.

Serena: But I'll still miss you.

Darien: I know I'll call you every night.

Serena: Alright, but I'll miss you.

Darien: It'll be all right. I have to pack right now and leave for the airport so give me a goodbye kiss, hmmm.

They kiss for several minutes and then Serena goes out to meet the girls at Raye's. They had not noticed that Rini had come in and heard the last couple minutes of their conversation.

Rini: Why would Darien be leaving?

Scene: Rini's Room

The phone rings.

Rini: Hello. Oh, hi Amanda.

Amanda: Are you coming to the Scout meeting?

Rini: Oh, no Serena was serious about the meeting this afternoon! I thought that she was joking. I'll be right there! Let them know I'll be late.

Amanda: Don't worry, I'll tell them. I'll see you later. Bye.

Rini: Bye!

Scene: Rini on the way to Raye's House

Rini is half running to Raye's and thinking at the same time.

Rini: (thinking) I wonder where Darien's going and why he's leaving.

Rini was thinking so much and not watching where she was going that she tripped and fell. (Reminds you of someone, huh?)

Rini: Ow!

Eric: Are you ok Rini?

Rini: Hi Eric. I didn't see you slither up. Um I mean come up.

Eric: Hey, Rabbit head! Where you hopping to? Want to work on the science project?

Rini: Thanks, but I'm late.

Rini runs off and leaves Eric standing there looking puzzled for some reason.

Rini: (thinking) He is such a jerk!

Looks back.

Rini: (thinking) But he's still kinda cute. Oh no now I'm really late!

(Does this scene remind you of anything?)

Scene: Raye's House

Lita: I wonder what's keeping Rini.

Amanda: I called her and she said that she was on her way her.

Amy: If she said she was on her way then she's on her way.

Raye: Amy's right cam down guys.

Serena: Hi guys!

All: Hi Serena!

Serena: Have you heard that Darien got promoted?

Raye: Wow! That is so cool.

Lita: He must be pretty happy about that.

Mina: Why are you so down if he got promoted?

Serena: He has to go on a business trip because of the promotion and he'll be gone for a couple weeks.

By now Serena is sobbing and the girls get big sweatdrops and then they try to calm her down. Meanwhile, Amanda is sitting on the porch waiting for Rini.

Amanda: Hey, Rini!

All of a sudden another monster tries to grab Amanda and Rini jumps in the way and the monster takes her away.

Amanda: NO! BRING HER BACK!

Everyone comes out into the yard.

Amanda: It's Rini.

Mina: What about her?

Amanda: The monster took her!

Amy: What monster?

Amanda: It looked kinda like one of the monsters that took me.

Serena: NNNNNNNNOOOOOO! She can't be gone.

Raye: It's all right Serena we'll get her back.

Lita: I wonder why they took her instead of Amanda.

Amanda: She jumped in front of me when it was going to grab me.

Amanda starts to cry along with Serena.

Mina: Don't worry guys we'll find her.

Both: Promise!

Mina gets a big sweatdrop.

Mina: I promise!

Everyone but Serena goes inside.

Lita: I think that since Darien's away that some one should stay with her.

Mina: Yeah in the condition she's in she shouldn't be left all alone.

Raye: So which one of us should stay with her first?

Amy: I'll do it.

All: Ok!

They all get a picture of Serena snoring above their heads.

Scene: The yard

Amy: Hey Serena, I'll stay with you tonight so you won't be lonely.

Serena: Thanks Amy. You guys are such good friends.

All: We know!

Serena gets a big sweatdrop.

Scene: Serena and Darien's Apartment

Serena: I really appreciate you coming over and staying with me, Amy.

Amy: Oh, I don't mind. Besides you're my friend and I just couldn't let you be alone especially with the baby coming in a few months.

Serena: Do you want to feel the baby kick?

Amy: Are you sure?

Serena: Go on. I don't mind.

Amy puts her hand to Serena's stomach.

Amy: Oh!

Serena: What?

Amy: I felt the baby kick. It was so cool.

Serena: You wouldn't think so if it could keep you up some nights.

Amy: Wow, you've gone through a lot.

Serena: Yeah and I thought that Darien would be there the whole time, but now he has to go away and Rini's gone so I'm all alone.

Serena starts to cry.

Amy: Why don't we play some cards or something.

Serena: (sobbingly) I guess.

Serena and Amy start to play cards and the scene fades out with Serena forgetting her troubles and laughing.
