So now, with out further ado, A Secret No Longer



-Darien-

I've been dating Serena for four and a half months, We know everything about each other. At least that's what she thinks. She has no idea that her boyfriend is really Tuxedo Mask, the masked protector of Tokyo.

Every day I argue with myself. Do I tell Serena or not?

*Go ahead Chiba. Tell her. She needs to know.*

*No I can't, what would she think?*

*She'd think it was cool.*

*She might be jealous. I mean, I fight with the Sailor Scouts for crying out loud.*

*Come on Chiba! She has some mystery surrounding her too. You think you know her so well? Then why can't you ever find her when a Nega-monster attacks?*

*But how do I tell her? It just wouldn't feel right going out and saying 'Serena I have to tell you something. I'm Tuxedo Mask.*

*You figure it out Chiba.*

Today, I'm gonna start my little investigation into my girlfriend's strange running off. Lucky for me today, Saturday, we have a date. Maybe I can bring it up as a topic of conversation.



-Serena-

Darien and I had a date at the movies. I felt that he was getting suspicious about something. Probably about the way I keep disappearing when there's trouble.

I stood in front of my mirror checking out my clothes when the doorbell rang.

I ran downstairs and answered the door. It was just as I had thought. Darien was standing at the door. I yelled goodbye to my parents and my little bro, Sammy, got into Darien's car and we sped off towards the movie theater.



-Darien-

I could tell that Serena was nervous about something. I started to talk to her.

"So, how was your day?"

"It was fine." she answered. "Look Darien, I know that there is a specific question that you wanna ask me. I can see it in your eyes. So just ask it already."

It was at this point that I pulled over to the side of the road. "Alright, now I want you to look at me when you answer me. Serena, why is it that you are always disappearing when there is any kind of trouble?"

"I'm sorry Darien. I can't tell you yet. But you'll find out soon enough." she answered.

With that I started the car again. We drove to the theater and got the tickets to the movie. We took our seats. Then I heard a scream from the projection booth.

A figure jumped from the booth to the stage. It was another Nega-monster. I quickly excused myself and headed for the corridor. There my top-hat materialized in my hand. I threw it and instantly turned into Tuxedo Mask. I rushed back into the theater. The monster was draining the energy from the theater's occupants. I jumped onto the stage and I started to fight the monster. I glanced at where Serena had been sitting. She wasn't there. All of a sudden Sailor Moon appeared from above the stage.



-Serena-

I jumped from the thin walkway around the ceiling to the stage. I glanced at where Darien and I had been, he wasn't in the seats. It was just as well, at least his energy wasn't drained.

I saw that Tuxedo Mask was fighting another Nega-monster. I quickly pulled off my tiara, yelled "Moon Tiara Magic," and threw it.

"Yes! Moon-dusted" I congratulated myself.

I quickly ran out to the corridor, transformed back into normal clothes and walked into the theater. I rushed in, hoping that Darien hadn't come back while I was preoccupied with the fight.

But there he was, kneeling at the side of one of the drained people.

"What are you doing Darien?" I asked.

He answered me. "These people were drained of almost all their energy by a Nega-monster. He suddenly covered his mouth. I looked at him sternly.



-Darien-

I knew I had just said something I shouldn't have. Serena shot me a stern glance.

"Well, Mr. Chiba. It looks like you have some explaining to do.
