This occurs somewhere before Serena ever knew who Darien's secret identity was or vise versa. A simple summer long story, of what I think should have been included. I'm not matching the anime exactly. Kind of my own story with the characters…I hope you like.
The characters don't belong to me, there will only be few that do that are not canon ie. Tess.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Beach Boy

"Well guys, here's the beach house." Rei said entering the beach house, sitting on the borderline between grass and sand.

It was large, and had a wooden exterior, a large porch and sat out looking the ocean. Inside was a large hallway, much like Rei's temple home, with doors on either side. It was old, but most of the furniture was new, and had a certain old time cozy feeling.

"Wow Rei, you're cousin really owns all this?" Leta asked.

"Yea, she's had the property for a while now. Her parents bought her the land for her birthday a few years ago since she loves the marine biology. She normally rents out the rooms, but she invited me down, and I was nice enough to invite you guys." Rei smiled like she was a saint.

"Hey! Glad you girls could make it!" The girls looked to the voice and saw Tess, Rei's cousin. She was taller then Rei, maybe even a little taller then Leta. She looked like she was in her early twenties and had the same raven colored hair as Rei, except she kept it in a high ponytail that ran down her back. She had light green eyes, the color of emeralds, and slightly more tanned skin then the rest of them.

"Nice to meet you too." Ami greeted kindly for them.

"I really hope you guys enjoy staying here, I love the ocean and I hope you guys will too. I'll have to show you the hiking train that's just up back too."

"Any volleyball nets on the beach?" Mina asked.

"Of course, there might even be a tournament sometime." Tess smiled.

" I just can't wait to scout out all the boys." Leta winked.

"Don't worry there is plenty of those on the beach." Tess winked back. "So how about I show you your rooms? Did Rei tell you'll be bunkin' in partners?"

Rei nudged Ami with a smile. Leta and Mina nodded and Serena stood there dumbfounded.

"Rei why didn't you tell me?" She said suddenly realizing that she was the only one without the knowledge.

"We told you to make an appearance at the meeting we had a week ago, when we planned this trip, but you meatball head slept in." Rei scolded.

"Whoa, whoa, don't worry about it." Tess tried to calm them down. "Serena, it works out better because I had to split the spare room in two, so I only have a single left. Don't worry, they're like the temple rooms, so it has a screen divider. This place is kind of old, I want to eventually redo parts of it."

"Well that works out, plus you have Luna to keep you company right?" Mina said.

"Oh is that a cat?" Tess asked, just as Luna popped her head out of the purse of Serena's things.

"Yea, she more or less insisted she came…" Serena rolled her eyes.

"Why did you need to split the other double room Tess?" Rei asked.

"Oh I meant to tell you, but it was a last minute arrangement. Someone else rented out one of the rooms. I wasn't planning on renting them while you guys were here, but he said he'd pay a little extra…I think he's got some kind of job to do or something along the beach."

"He?" Serena asked.

"Yea I hope you guys don't mind." Tess said.

"Chances are if it's a guy, not at all." Mina said.

"So who is this guy?" Leta asked.

"Yea, I mean I'll be splitting the room with him…" Serena started but then bit her tongue when she watched a man with dark black hair, fresh from a shower walk out of a room, with a black t-shirt and board shorts on stop in the long hallway.

"Darien!"

"Meatball head?" He said turning revealing the blue eyed Darien to the girls. He raised his eyebrow both surprised and slightly annoyed.

"Great so you guys have met?" Tess said smiling, then her face turned to confusion as she saw the rest of the girls avoid eye contact with sweat drops forming above their heads.

"We're in for a long summer aren't we guys?" Mina asked.

"Mhm." They all nodded half halfheartedly.
