Title: Right Now
Rating: PG-13 for now. Possibly R later.
--------------
Notes: I wasn't intending on doing a sequel to my previous songfic "Dark Blue", however I
started to think about it, and decided that there needed to be more. You might want to read
that prior to this in order to get some understanding, but if you don't - oh well sucks for
you. This will take place after that story, and right before/up until when Darien gets
captured by Beryl, and they get their memories of the Silver Millennium back - well the whole
Serena is the princess and Darien is her prince. You get the idea. Enjoy! Oh wait, before
you start - this switches POV, so it's not in anyone particulars. Now you can read.

Song: Now
Artist: Def Leppard
I wanna know you better
Let's spend some time together
I wanna be what's on your mind
Look in my eyes, they're calling
I need your love to fall in
If you could just give me a sign
I can't get over baby
I can't get over now
I can't get over this feeling I feel
Now, right now
If the fire inside you
Feels like I feel now
Right now
Deep inside of me
Deep inside of me
I'm tired of make believin'
I'm lost and barely breathing
I'm on the ceiling, help me down, yeah, yeah
So stop my heart from aching
I'll be the risk you're taking
And I won't rest until you're mine, oh
I wanna show you baby
I wanna show you now
I wanna tell ya this feeling I feel
Now, right now
If the fire inside you
Feels like I feel now
Right now
If it's love you're craving
It's a love worth saving
Can't get over this feeling I feel now, yeah
Now, right now
Let the fire inside you
Burn like I do
Now, right now
If there's a love you're craving
It's a love worth saving
Deep inside of me
Deep inside, deep inside of me
Deep inside, deep inside of me
Deep inside of me
Deep inside

It's ME again:
You'd think after talking with him, he'd be nicer right? Wrong. I guess I'm just
going to be wrong about everything when it comes to Darien Shields. I thought I got to him,
you know? I thought he actually started to care a little, that we could become friends. I
was wrong as usual.
You know, it's been a month since he decided he was going to try and take his own
life. A month since I tried to help him realize that was never the answer. So what, I'm a
ditzy blonde, but you'd think he'd realize there's more to everyone - including himself. Of
course not! Not once, since that night I spent the night with him, has he called me by my
first name. No, it's still Meatball Head.
So, I know I shouldn't let him frustrate me like he does, but I can't help it. All
I want from him is to be nice to me. Well, that's not all, but it'd take a miracle for
anything other than that to happen. Actually, it'd take a miracle for that to happen in the
first place. God, why did you let me go on and care about that jerk? Why do you continue
to let me love him? Is this all there's ever going to be? Anger. Fights. Tears. That's
all that I'm going to get out of him, isn't it?
It sucks, you know. All month long I've sat awake going over everything that went
on that night. It was like I saw another side of Darien, the side that I always want to
see of him. The part of him that has emotions, the part that can care for someone besides
himself. Ok, he cares about Andrew - but other than that? Is there anyone else that he
could ever care about in any way besides him? Just because he's been alone his entire life,
doesn't mean he has to stay alone forever.
Why can't I be the one to take away his lonliness? He'd never feel the same way
towards you Serena, that's why. How could he ever love a 15-year-old child? He's too smart
for you, too mature. Too gorgeous. You can't even get passing grades in school. You're
immature - Raye's right about that. I'm just a meatball head who can't even walk without
falling.
I still want to be there for him. To be the one to take all the pain away. Is it
so wrong to feel like this? Is it so wrong to want something so bad, you'd do anything to
have it? I may not be the most beautiful girl, nor the most intelligent, or graceful...but
I still can dream. Dream of him. The only one who could ever get to me like this.
Gee, and everyone swore that Tuxedo Mask was the only guy I'd dream about. Hah, who
cares about him anymore. Ever since that night I haven't thought of him. Ok, that's a lie.
He still saves me every time I'm in trouble. He's still a mystery to me. But now there's a
real guy to dream about. Someone I can freely give my love to; if only that were true. I'd
have a better chance with Tuxedo Mask than with Darien.
I should stop thinking like this for tonight. I barely get enough sleep as it is
right now, with all the youma attacks and everything. Maybe I'll run into Darien again on
the way to school. Hah, that's for sure. Then again, maybe he'll actually be nice to me.
Time to wake up from dreamland Serena.
Anyways, I'm off to bed. Another day in the life of Serena Tsukino has gone down
with the rise of the moon.
-Serena
********************************************************************************************
Yeah:
Never thought I'd be the type of person to keep one of these lying around. I guess
it's better than feeling like you're crazy of course. Then again, I probably am crazy, and
I'm sure anyone would agree if they ever read this. Who would've thought I'd fall in love.
Destined to be lonely and depressed for eternity. Maybe that would've been easier than being
in love with a golden-haired angel. I feel almost dirty admitting it, you know? Here I am,
18-years-old, in college...and I'm in love with a junior high girl. If this were America,
I'd be breaking the law for feeling this way.
Of course, she just dropped in my life when I'd least expected it. Damn test paper
combined with her bad aim. Just had to hit me in my head, didn't she? Couldn't leave me
alone with my miserable life, could she? Now here I am, helplessly in love with her, and
what can I do?
That night she saved my life, she also changed it in so many ways. She made me feel
things I never would've thought I could feel. When I held her in my arms that night, it just
felt right. There's no words to describe it. The next morning was awkward. I mean, what
do you say to someone you've been torturing daily, after one night of being nice. What should
I have said? 'Hi, I'm in love with you. I've always been in love with you, which is why I
would always tease you.' Yeah right, like she'd want to hear that from me. How could she
ever love someone like me.
Then, I just go on being an idiot to her. Doesn't she realize I'm only like that to
hide her from the truth of my feelings? How I wish I could just apologize for everything.
Tell her she means the world to me. Maybe that would make it better? Yeah Dare, and then
you wake up man. She'd be scared. Would run away from me forever. I'd rather have her in
some way, then no way at all.
I think it's time I get some sleep. This saving Sailor Moon is starting to get tiring.
Not that I'd change it for the world - I just wish it was Serena I held in my arms every night.
Nah Tuxie, you gotta remember you're out to find the Silver Imperium Crystal to free your
Princess. If only she was Serena as well. Oh well, you can't get everything you want in life.
Time for bed. I'm out.
-Dar
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: So that's my lame excuse for a prologue. Yeah, I really should finish my other story
before starting a new one, but I can't help it. I just got the idea, and had to roll with it.
I'll try not to drag this out too long. What am I saying, it'll prolly take forever to get
finished. Hey, if you're nice and review - tell me what you like, don't like, and what you
think I should do - it might come out faster. I do take bribes btw. ;)
Rating: PG-13 for now. Possibly R later.
