Enchanting Love
^.^ Serena ^.^ 3
I'm Serena but sometimes my friends call
me Bunny. I'm in 8th grade and am fourteen. I am
also known as the Champion of Justice, Sailor
Moon. I was a normal girl until my talking cat,
Luna, told me I was chosen to fight the forces
of Evil, cool huh? Right now I am in a middle
of a battle and can't chat too much right, now.
" Moon Twilight Flash!" I finished the monster
off. The dust from the blast went on me and I
coughed a bit. I wiped it off and was just glad
the monster was gone.
" You did well, Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask
(the cutie puttee in the tree 3) wrapped his
cape around his self and bid us farewell. He
always goes right after the battles are finish. I
wonder who he is and why he always saves me
just in the 'nick of time'.
" Yeah, Sailor Moon you did all right!"
That was Raye the beautiful priestess and known
as Sailor Mars. She can use fire against the
enemy.
"Well, we should be going home now."
That's Sailor Mercury as has known as Amy. She is
really smart some say she has an IQ of 300. She
uses this fog to help fight the enemy.
" Right, we meet at the communication
base tomorrow after school OK?" Luna, my
talking cat ordered us. She is like our guide
as Sailor Soldiers. She told us we have to find
and protect the princess, find the other
scouts, defeat the enemy, and find the mysterious
silver crystal.
"Ok, Luna, now lets get some sleep!" I yawned and
went the route home with Luna. I dropped down on my
bed and de-transformed. I sat there thinking about
tomorrow. It was going to be Valentine's Day and I
won't get any gifts from a guy. Mom and Dad will
give me their usually candies and stuff animals but
I still want to get something special from someone
who likes me. Maybe next year. . .
**
I opened my eyes and noticed my alarm clock it
was 8:17. I rolled over and closed my eyes. Wait a
minute it's Wednesday and I need to be at school at.
. .
"AHH! I am late!!" I quickly got out of bed
and did my regular routine when I was late. When I
saw my mother with a lunch in her hand by the door
with my school bag I grinned. She was finally
getting this down. "Thank you, Mom!", I said as I
went out the front door.
So, here I am running down the busy streets of
Tokyo there is a lot of people out here. I get to a
traffic light and stop to wait for me to pass. I
notice all these guys looking at me. I choose not to
look at them. Why are they staring at me like that?
Do I have something on my face? OH no, has my pajama
dream came true and I walked out the house with
those on? I look down. Nope, that's not it. I feel
as if someone is coming behind me. I look behind to
see all these guys coming at me. I panic but luckily
the light changes and I can cross. I run as fast as
I can to notice they are coming behind me. Oh my
gosh, I am being chase by about seven boys. Of about
18-30 years old at the moment. I start to run faster
and hope the school gates are not close by the time
I get there. I look at my watch to notice it's 8:25.
I should be able to get there. I turn around again
to see about seventeen guys chasing after me. Why
me? Why this morning?
"Beautiful girl! I love you!!"
" Come with me, sugar!"
" Marry me!"
" I will date with you!"
I hear those words coming out their mouths and
more. My legs are tired and I feel like I am going
to slow down but I have to get away from all those
boys. I see the school and that gives me enough
courage for me to go on faster. I see them about to
close the school gates and luckily that gets the
boys off me. I breathe heavy and rest a little on
the gates. The guy who closes the gates starts
staring at me. Oh no, he is attracted to me too. I
run from him only to be chased to class. I see my
classroom straight ahead and close the door behind
me. I leaned against the door and relaxed.
"Serena, what's wrong?" My good and best
friend since I was a little girl asked me. Her name
is Molly.
Taking a deep breath I am finally able to say,
speaking in sentences. Remember I was scared and had
to run from all those males.
Molly's eyes showed concern for me as she saw
how breathless I was and the look that was on my
face. "What's going on?"
"Molly, there are about twenty guys outside
the school gates this morning that was chasing me."
I grab her by the collar. " Do you have any idea how
scared I was and how much I am drained." I let go
of her and slouch against the door again for support
to relax.
"Serena, this is unbelievable. You expect me
to believe that all these guys just came from their
daily morning activities to go and chase after you?"
Her arms were crossed across her chest and her lips
curled up to a mocking smile. Obviously, she did not
believe my tell. I saw something change about her
that instant but I think it's my imagination. Her
eyebrows slanted towards her nose and face hardened.
It was like she totally changed right in front of
me like a new person entirely. "You got to be lying,
I mean who would want to chase after you. I mean
look at you and look at me. I see no competition.
Now, you are whining again about guys chasing after
you. What a pathetic attempt to get attention." My
eyes widen as I heard each word come out of her
mouth be directed at me. I heard the words she was
saying it just was not registrating.
"Molly? You can't joke around like that. You
know how sensitive I am." My throat hurt as the pain
of her words was taking an impact to my body and
mind.
"You are as they all call you a ditz aren't
you. I mean you can't hear the anger in my voice or
the embarrassment of being your friend." Her voice
began to raise. "Stupid and lazy. The only two words
to describe you." The mocking laugh was the last
thing I remember from Molly that day as she fell
unconscious. I looked behind her and saw Melvin with
his briefcase in his hand.
"Serena are you alright?" His head turned to
me and his hand came to touch mine. " I can't believe
Molly would say something like that to you."
Melvin's hands slowly caressed mine, something
Melvin would never do. I looked at his hand and then
to his face.
" You didn't have to knock her out! She didn't
do anything terribly wrong she was just talking to
me about something." I tried to snatch my hand from
his but he was keeping a strong hold on it and I
could not break free from his grasp. " Let go of me
Melvin." His grasp was hardened and it started to
hurt. I saw his expression change as I did Molly's
only a few moments ago.
"You're not going anywhere." His smile widened
as his voice was unusually deep. For the first time
in my life I was scared of Melvin and what he was
capable of doing. Yeah, I am about two inches taller
than him but right now he was intimidating me with
his whole composure. I was vulnerable against the
door.
"Melvin, you are not being yourself. Just look
at what you are doing. Your man handling me, Bunny,
one of you best friends since third grade. You know
, us, me you and Molly, the three amigos. You have
to stop this Melvin." What is wrong with him? Has
everyone but me gone crazy today? I look beyond him
to see the rest of the class with this same look of
mocking on their face. I have to get out of here
,but how. . . On that's right I am against the door.
"Let you go? After, all those times you have
you refused my pleads for your presence on a date
with me. I don't think so." His voice was so dark
and unreachable. My face fell as I heard his laugh.
"You are finally giving in when I show you a little
authority. When I show you what kind of man I am."
My hands try to find the knob but was roughly taken
back by Melvin. Tears were streaming down my face as
I realized this was not Melvin. This was not the boy
I learned to tease and be friends with.
" You have got to stop this Melvin. You ha
ve to fight whatever evil demon possessing you now.
Before you do something that you are going to
regret." My voice was cracking as I looked at his
face. Melvin did something I never thought he would
do. He slowly took off his glasses to reveal his
eyes. To my surprise Melvin eyes were pitch black. A
cocky smile went on his face as he looked straight
at me. Those eyes were empty and lost. There was no
way of turning back was there?
"A man has taken off his glasses for you.
Aren't you gonna show him something worth seeing."
He was a lost cause. I can't win him back like this
in this form but I could if I was Sailor Moon. But
how was I to transform right here while he is
holding me. Amy. . where is she? She would help me
out but where is she? Melvin started to push his
lips together in a shape like heart. They were
coming nearer to me by the second. No way I am going
to kiss this jerk.
"You . . you . . pervert." I screamed at him
as I ripped my hands from him violently and pushed
him to the floor. I picked up my school bag and
aimed for the door. I saw the guy at the gate still
there. He was kissing the glass. Pushing the door
open I had pushed him on the floor to. Now where
was I going to go. I might as well call Amy and
Raye. I pushed to little Mercury button and Mars
button. It had their planet signs on them. Funny,
how when Raye got here her button just popped up
there. "Amy, Raye, do you read me?"
"What is it, Serena?"
"Yeah, Bunny, what's going on?"
"Well, I am running from Melvin, who tried to
seduce me and force to kiss me also there was Molly
who totally freaked out on me. Oh and I have this
weird power to have boys suddenly chase me and want
me to love them as they love me. Other than that I
am just peachy. Amy, where are you? You are supposed
to be in school too with me. I could have used your
help."
"Well, I had to go to the hospital to test my
science fair project. I was going to be at school in
a little while."
"I need to be hidden from human view. I
am in danger with any human contact. I don't know
how or why this is happening. What am I suppose to
do?"
"Bunny, why don't you go to the temple and
call Luna while you're at it. This is serious and
should be handled as quickly as possible. Amy and I
will meet you there as soon as we can. I should be
there before you though so I'll put up an evil
spirit protector."
"Thanks, I'll be there in a jiffy. Moon out."
Now all I have to do is go to the temple and be safe
from all this wackiness.
@-------- Darien @--------
Sometimes I wonder, 'Why me?'. I really don't
have time for this. I can't believe that my teacher
wants me to lead her other class today because of
the paper I wrote. I got to keep a trace on where
the silver crystal maybe.
What is that noise? I turn my head to see Ms.
Pig-tails and a group of guys chasing her. That girl
is truly something. I guess I should see what the
problem is.
"Hey Ms. Pig-tails! Why are you running?" I
speak to her as she comes to me.
"Keep away if you know what is good for you!"
She shoves past me in a rush. What was that all
about? If I know what is good for me . . I should go
all behind her.
"Ms. Pig-tails, wait for me! I am trying to
help you with these guys!" I push through about what
seems like thirty guys to get to her in front.
Luckily speed is on my side today or I would never
catch up with her. I tap he on the shoulder.
"Ah! What are you doing up here? I thought I
left you back on the corner on First Street." She
said to me with much tired in her voice.
" I was trying to see why these guys are
following you and I see a couple of girls too."
" They are all in love with me and want me to
date them. The girls just want to tear me from limb
to limb. No biggie!" She laughed sarcastically at
her little situation. " Now, leave before you become
just like them and fall in love with me." She
motioned for me to shoo and started to run faster.
"Awe, come on! What is really going on?" I was
running even faster to match her speed. Boy, is she
fast. Then I see her do something that might have
cost her life if I had not been there. She tripped.
"Zut! I can't move! It hurts!" She was laying
on her butt rubbing her knee. She looked behind her
as I followed her eyes to the big crowd of people
coming at her. She looked up at me with fear and
concern. "We are going to get ran over! Run! Leave
me behind and save yourself!" She closed her eyes as
if she was going to take the impact of the stampede.
I scoop her in my arms and start to run with
her in my arms. While her eyes are closed I know I
can get to the top of that building and confuse the
mob as well. I round the corner to an alleyway. I
then jump. It was a couple of jumps actually to the
top of the building. I stop and kneel over for the
biggest breath I ever took in my life. I could still
see her eyes close and feel her body shiver.
"Are you alright?" I looked at her face. Her
eyes blinked opened and looked at my eyes. Was that
mob really going to hurt her? How could anyone want
to hurt her. I may not know her personally but I
very well know that this girl does not deserve to be
harm in any shape or form. She is so innocent and so
very beautiful. cough Not that I have noticed
since, she and I only met about four times. Well,
the fourth time was when she was at the ball and
she didn't even know it was me. I still have her
napkin. It is in my breast pocket, close to my
heart.
"You saved me?" Her eyes showed such hope.
That look she gave me made me feel a certain load of
responsibility towards her, Bunny. I would protect
her not only from the mob today, but for as long as
I can.
I nodded in return to her answer. Those
beautiful eyes shone at me and went straight to my
heart. "Why? Why would you put yourself in danger
because of me?" Did she think I wanted something in
return.
I shrugged my shoulders and looked in her
eyes. " I wanted to."
^.^ Serena ^.^ 3
He wanted to save me from the mob. My heart is
pounding so hard right now. His eyes are so blue. .
. so familiar . . . but now is not the time to think
about that. I have to figure out how to get to
Raye's without Darien coming with me. He is so
strange but looks so much like my protector, Tuxedo
Mask. I know . . I know I went off topic again.
"Darien, where are we?" I looked around and
show the tops of buildings. Were we on a roof? "
Umm, Darien this may sound bizarre, but are we on a
roof?" He blushed a little at my comment. How did he
get here and lose the crowd. I know he didn't jump.
Did he?
"I went through an alleyway and ran up the
stairs on the side of the building." Oh, so that is
what happened. It sure don't take him long to run.
I sigh. "How are we going to get to Raye's
temple with people chasing me?" I plead with him.
"What is going on?" He looked very confused. I
don't know what to tell him. I should be honest with
since he acts as my protector today.
"Well, somehow when I woke up this morning,
all the guys want to love me and the girls wish to
hurt me." I let out an ironic chuckle. "Now, I have
to get to Raye's temple for her to put up a
protection spell around me so this madness can
stop."
"How do you know that Raye will do it? You
said it yourself that all the girls you come in to
contact with will try to kill you." He pointed out
to me. Well, I didn't know the answer to that. I
just assumed that since they were sailor soldiers
they were special. Since I did get affected I guess
they should not get put under the spell as the other
people. Whoa, how did come Darien is not trying to
make me love him?
"Darien, why are you not in love with me? I
mean you are a guy and technically you are suppose
to be drooling over me." Aha, I pointed out
something he does not know the answer to. I'm good.
"Maybe I have a stronger will or something
like that. I don't know."
" What do we do now?"
"Camp out here for a while. I mean there are
human and they have to sleep."
His right. I guess. What do I do now? I am
starting to get hungry. Thoughts of cheesecake and
ice cream cloud my mind. Sweet and Sour pork with
steamed rice. Sushi and mango Jell-O. I drool a
little and my stomach reacts to my hungry.
Darien turns to me with an amused look. "Was
that you?"
I'm embarrassed. I nodded with a rejected
look. " I'm just a little hungry that's all."
He chuckles a little. " A little? You sounded
like you could eat a cow." He looks at me and
smiles. I feel the heat raise to my cheeks as I
realize just how cute he is when he smiles. "How
about I take you to my place and I make you a feast
fit for a princess?" I nod my head vigorously. He
smiles at me again. My heart suddenly melts.
That's not suppose to happen. . .
@-------- Darien @---------
Maybe it is just me but is the sun shining
brighter and the flowers smelling more sweeter. I
feel like I am on cloud nine. Here I am walking down
the street hand in hand with the most wonderful girl
I every met. I don't know why we are holding hands
but I know I am liking it. Maybe she is scared
because of the mob out to get her. She don't have to
worry I'll protect her.
Even though I have so much to tell her I can't
bring it out my mouth. Maybe when we reach the
apartment we will have more to say.
I feel like such a school boy with such silly
thoughts of Bunny. She is so bouncy and I can feel
her energy in the air. It's not at its full
potential. Maybe because of her fear and she is a
little tired from all that running and the stress
from the whole experience.
Bunny now sits on my couch and I am looking in
the refrigerator looking for something fitting for
her to eat. The glories of conveniences foods. I
know I did promise her a feast fit for the beautiful
princess she is but I have to take a little short
cut to it.
My groans and moans with this act of cooking
food must have brought the curiosity of my guest. I
hear her soft giggles as she watches me. I feel that
her feelings about me as changed. She feels more
personal towards me. But the kind of personal
confuses her.
It does not matter which one she chooses but
it does not matter. Well, I am voting for one side
but I would except any kind of relationship with
her.
"Darien, would you like me to help you?" I
feel she does not think I can do the task without
taking out a couple of fingers.
"If you'll like . . ." Before I know it she is
beside me and curiously looking over what I was
impress her with my skills of cooking and present
her a nice little American style lunch. "You can
check the wings in the oven, see if they are cook."
I watched her as she opened the oven to check on the
wings like I asked. She stared at them for a while.
I think she was trying to tell if they were done or
not.
Her eyes rise to mine. Her voice was full with
curiosity as she speaks, "Darien, what kind of wings
are these?".
I turn around and go back to my task. "They
are called Buffalo wings. I got the recipe from an
American cookbook." I actually got them from a pre-
packaged American shop called 'Murray's Steakhouse'.
"What do they taste like?"
"Well, they are really hot and you will need
lots of water to take it all down."
She made a face by wrinkling her little nose.
Then her face went as if she is thinking about
something. I sense she is going to ask me a question
that she has been pondering for awhile, "Darien, how
did you really get on the roof? I mean I believe the
crowd would have followed you. Unless you are
superman and you can fly there is no way you could
have lost them." Aww man, I have to tell her
something. I hate to lie to her but..
"Well, I have an anti-evil charm on me that my
mother gave me when I was younger." So that wasn't a
complete lie. When I was younger I was in an
orphanage and in my pants pocket that on the night
of the accident. I found this little charm that I
can't seem to part with. Of course I don't know who
gave it to me because the accident caused me my
memory. "I guess whatever possessing them is truly
evil. Did you do anything that might have got evil
people anger at you and cast a spell on you or
something?"
^.^ Serena ^.^ 3
Did I do anything that caused evil people to
cast a spell on me? I don't think so. Well, there is
last night with the monster and all. I was closer to
it then normally and some of the dust did come onto
me. Could the dust of the finished monster be
causing all this? There are so many questions and so
little time. I can't keep going about in the world
when people want to either kill me or fell in love
with me. Even though it does sound tempting.
There is one thing I can not understand. Why
is Darien not under the spell. He is treating me as
a normal person. But he does have an effect me in a
way I can not fathom. The arcade guy never affected
me like that with his smile and me heart never felt
like coming out of my chest before. Even though
arcade guy is a major cutie(squeal!!), I feel so
much of that but ten times the effect.
Well, I have to tell him something, "Well,
last night I did take a walk nice the park and heard
some commotion and checked it out. It the
shadows I show some people. There was a burst of
light and scream of pain. I went over to look and
they were gone. All I saw was a pile of dust on the
ground. I examine it a little too. It was a pretty
silver color but I had to go home afterwards." I
sighed, It was pretty late out and mom wanted me to
be back in an half of hour."
He seemed to be thinking about some
thing and turned to me. "Well, maybe that crime
fighter who is Sailor V's partner as they say in the
newspaper was fighting an evil force." He looked at
me strangely, "Do you think she turn people who are
evil into moon dust?"
I gave him a look equally strange, "Hey
anything is possible now-a-days. But is the food
ready I am really hungry."
He chuckled and tapped my nose with his
finger. "Well you wait in the dining room and lunch
will be served in a minute ma petite."
**
Lunch was wonderful even though I drank a lot
of water due to the Buffalo wings. Darien was the
perfect gentleman and offered me more which is a
plus in my book. I decided that needed to call Raye
and tell her what was happening.
"Hello, Raye?"
I heard her sigh," Where are you Serena? I
have been here for the past hour worrying about
you." I could here the concern in her voice and I
immediately felt bad.
"Sorry, Raye. I am at Darien's apartment. He
is letting me claim sanctuary here."
"Well, I thought you were coming here to do
the spell but obviously you ditched Amy and I for
some guy.", now anger was raising in her voice and
she was particularly annoyed. Raye has something
against males for some reason. I know she do not
trust them in the least.
"Raye, that is not what happened. I had
trouble getting to your place with all the people
chasing me. Luckily, Darien was there and helped me
with the crowd. He helped me lose them and brought
me to his place for lunch as well as protection." I
looked at Darien when I said this and he smiled
broadly at me. He was in the kitchen washing dishes
and I was drying off since I insisted to help.
"Well, have you even thought about him trying
to take advantage of you since that spell is in
effect. I thought you said he was under a spell
since he is a guy."
"Of course I thought of that first off. He
shows no signs of being in love with me, Raye. The
spell usually takes affect immediately when a person
comes in contact with me." I sighed, "Raye,
how am I suppose to get to you without having to be
chase down the street by mob. I have to get to your
place for the spell to ware off."
"Come here tonight when Darien is sleep. GO in
Sailor mode and be fast."
"Yes, Raye I understand. I hope to see you
soon."
"Bunny, be careful." Gosh, it's moments like
this that I really do love Raye.
"I will. You and Amy take care too ok?"
"Ok, bye. . ." The phone clung down on her end
and I did the same. Raye is worried about me. I
should not have waited so long to call her. I wished
I had a chance to talk to Amy. Maybe I'll contact
her on the communicator while I am in the bathroom
or something.
"What did Raye say?" Darien interrupted my
train of thoughts.
"She told me tomorrow may be a better day to
go out to her temple. The spell might wear off by
then." So, I lied big deal. He won't notice that I
am gone. I'll be back here before time the sun
raises.
"So, you are staying over?"
You know, I never thought of it in that
manner. I am staying over a very cute guy's house
alone with him. Darien and I are going to be alone
for awhile. Plus it is not helping that I have some
weird feeling for the man. "Yes, I am. Is that ok
with you?" I asked hoping he would not kick me out
and say, 'Yeah Ms. Pigtails, my girlfriend and I
have something to do tonight so if you would
leave!!'. . .boy I hope my worst nightmare is no-
where near reality.
"Yeah, I think it is a problem. Get out now!"
Darien told me with a huge grin on his face. He
started to laugh. "Of, course to you can stay,
Bunny." He laughs again and gives me this awesome
smile. "You think I would leave you out there so the
mob can get you?"
I stutter, "I..I..I thought you might have
your. . umm . . girlfriend. . you know . . over for
whatchamacallit. . Valentine's day." The whole time
I was looking down at the floor and blushing heat at
278 degrees.
Two of his fingers went under my chin and I
was looking into his eyes. He had a grin on his face
that was too perfect with a few strands of his hair
caressed his face. "This is exactly where I want to
be right now on Valentine's day, with you." His lips
came closer to me. I close my eyes. Oh my gosh, he
is going to kiss me.
I felt his lips go to my forehead and he pulled
away.
Damn.
I think he saw the look of disappointment on
my face as he looked at me. He chuckled a little,
"You look a little sad. Did you want my lips to go
somewhere else?". Shoot, him charms and smile has me
captured. I am blushing profoundly. I look down so
he is not to see my blush and shake my head really
fast as to say no. " You could have fooled me .", he
chuckles some more. His smile is incredible. I love
being on the receiving end of his smiles.
I could have thought about him for the rest of
the day if we were not interrupted. Someone was
knocking at the front door. Darien motioned me to go
into his bedroom while he 'take care' of who was at
the door.
@-------- Darien @---------
I am a little on edge with Serena here and
all. I was hoping to not have any interruptions due On
the other hand I rarely get any visitors.
I open the door and greet a young man with
messy brown hair and weird looking glasses. I greet
him, "Good afternoon.".
He cocks a grin and takes off his glasses.
I don't believe my eyes or his. Black, colorless eyes
are what I am staring at.

^.^ Serena ^.^ 3
I'm Serena but sometimes my friends call
me Bunny. I'm in 8th grade and am fourteen. I am
also known as the Champion of Justice, Sailor
Moon. I was a normal girl until my talking cat,
Luna, told me I was chosen to fight the forces
of Evil, cool huh? Right now I am in a middle
of a battle and can't chat too much right, now.
" Moon Twilight Flash!" I finished the monster
off. The dust from the blast went on me and I
coughed a bit. I wiped it off and was just glad
the monster was gone.
" You did well, Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask
(the cutie puttee in the tree 3) wrapped his
cape around his self and bid us farewell. He
always goes right after the battles are finish. I
wonder who he is and why he always saves me
just in the 'nick of time'.
" Yeah, Sailor Moon you did all right!"
That was Raye the beautiful priestess and known
as Sailor Mars. She can use fire against the
enemy.
"Well, we should be going home now."
That's Sailor Mercury as has known as Amy. She is
really smart some say she has an IQ of 300. She
uses this fog to help fight the enemy.
" Right, we meet at the communication
base tomorrow after school OK?" Luna, my
talking cat ordered us. She is like our guide
as Sailor Soldiers. She told us we have to find
and protect the princess, find the other
scouts, defeat the enemy, and find the mysterious
silver crystal.
"Ok, Luna, now lets get some sleep!" I yawned and
went the route home with Luna. I dropped down on my
bed and de-transformed. I sat there thinking about
tomorrow. It was going to be Valentine's Day and I
won't get any gifts from a guy. Mom and Dad will
give me their usually candies and stuff animals but
I still want to get something special from someone
who likes me. Maybe next year. . .
**
I opened my eyes and noticed my alarm clock it
was 8:17. I rolled over and closed my eyes. Wait a
minute it's Wednesday and I need to be at school at.
. .
"AHH! I am late!!" I quickly got out of bed
and did my regular routine when I was late. When I
saw my mother with a lunch in her hand by the door
with my school bag I grinned. She was finally
getting this down. "Thank you, Mom!", I said as I
went out the front door.
So, here I am running down the busy streets of
Tokyo there is a lot of people out here. I get to a
traffic light and stop to wait for me to pass. I
notice all these guys looking at me. I choose not to
look at them. Why are they staring at me like that?
Do I have something on my face? OH no, has my pajama
dream came true and I walked out the house with
those on? I look down. Nope, that's not it. I feel
as if someone is coming behind me. I look behind to
see all these guys coming at me. I panic but luckily
the light changes and I can cross. I run as fast as
I can to notice they are coming behind me. Oh my
gosh, I am being chase by about seven boys. Of about
18-30 years old at the moment. I start to run faster
and hope the school gates are not close by the time
I get there. I look at my watch to notice it's 8:25.
I should be able to get there. I turn around again
to see about seventeen guys chasing after me. Why
me? Why this morning?
"Beautiful girl! I love you!!"
" Come with me, sugar!"
" Marry me!"
" I will date with you!"
I hear those words coming out their mouths and
more. My legs are tired and I feel like I am going
to slow down but I have to get away from all those
boys. I see the school and that gives me enough
courage for me to go on faster. I see them about to
close the school gates and luckily that gets the
boys off me. I breathe heavy and rest a little on
the gates. The guy who closes the gates starts
staring at me. Oh no, he is attracted to me too. I
run from him only to be chased to class. I see my
classroom straight ahead and close the door behind
me. I leaned against the door and relaxed.
"Serena, what's wrong?" My good and best
friend since I was a little girl asked me. Her name
is Molly.
Taking a deep breath I am finally able to say,
speaking in sentences. Remember I was scared and had
to run from all those males.
Molly's eyes showed concern for me as she saw
how breathless I was and the look that was on my
face. "What's going on?"
"Molly, there are about twenty guys outside
the school gates this morning that was chasing me."
I grab her by the collar. " Do you have any idea how
scared I was and how much I am drained." I let go
of her and slouch against the door again for support
to relax.
"Serena, this is unbelievable. You expect me
to believe that all these guys just came from their
daily morning activities to go and chase after you?"
Her arms were crossed across her chest and her lips
curled up to a mocking smile. Obviously, she did not
believe my tell. I saw something change about her
that instant but I think it's my imagination. Her
eyebrows slanted towards her nose and face hardened.
It was like she totally changed right in front of
me like a new person entirely. "You got to be lying,
I mean who would want to chase after you. I mean
look at you and look at me. I see no competition.
Now, you are whining again about guys chasing after
you. What a pathetic attempt to get attention." My
eyes widen as I heard each word come out of her
mouth be directed at me. I heard the words she was
saying it just was not registrating.
"Molly? You can't joke around like that. You
know how sensitive I am." My throat hurt as the pain
of her words was taking an impact to my body and
mind.
"You are as they all call you a ditz aren't
you. I mean you can't hear the anger in my voice or
the embarrassment of being your friend." Her voice
began to raise. "Stupid and lazy. The only two words
to describe you." The mocking laugh was the last
thing I remember from Molly that day as she fell
unconscious. I looked behind her and saw Melvin with
his briefcase in his hand.
"Serena are you alright?" His head turned to
me and his hand came to touch mine. " I can't believe
Molly would say something like that to you."
Melvin's hands slowly caressed mine, something
Melvin would never do. I looked at his hand and then
to his face.
" You didn't have to knock her out! She didn't
do anything terribly wrong she was just talking to
me about something." I tried to snatch my hand from
his but he was keeping a strong hold on it and I
could not break free from his grasp. " Let go of me
Melvin." His grasp was hardened and it started to
hurt. I saw his expression change as I did Molly's
only a few moments ago.
"You're not going anywhere." His smile widened
as his voice was unusually deep. For the first time
in my life I was scared of Melvin and what he was
capable of doing. Yeah, I am about two inches taller
than him but right now he was intimidating me with
his whole composure. I was vulnerable against the
door.
"Melvin, you are not being yourself. Just look
at what you are doing. Your man handling me, Bunny,
one of you best friends since third grade. You know
, us, me you and Molly, the three amigos. You have
to stop this Melvin." What is wrong with him? Has
everyone but me gone crazy today? I look beyond him
to see the rest of the class with this same look of
mocking on their face. I have to get out of here
,but how. . . On that's right I am against the door.
"Let you go? After, all those times you have
you refused my pleads for your presence on a date
with me. I don't think so." His voice was so dark
and unreachable. My face fell as I heard his laugh.
"You are finally giving in when I show you a little
authority. When I show you what kind of man I am."
My hands try to find the knob but was roughly taken
back by Melvin. Tears were streaming down my face as
I realized this was not Melvin. This was not the boy
I learned to tease and be friends with.
" You have got to stop this Melvin. You ha
ve to fight whatever evil demon possessing you now.
Before you do something that you are going to
regret." My voice was cracking as I looked at his
face. Melvin did something I never thought he would
do. He slowly took off his glasses to reveal his
eyes. To my surprise Melvin eyes were pitch black. A
cocky smile went on his face as he looked straight
at me. Those eyes were empty and lost. There was no
way of turning back was there?
"A man has taken off his glasses for you.
Aren't you gonna show him something worth seeing."
He was a lost cause. I can't win him back like this
in this form but I could if I was Sailor Moon. But
how was I to transform right here while he is
holding me. Amy. . where is she? She would help me
out but where is she? Melvin started to push his
lips together in a shape like heart. They were
coming nearer to me by the second. No way I am going
to kiss this jerk.
"You . . you . . pervert." I screamed at him
as I ripped my hands from him violently and pushed
him to the floor. I picked up my school bag and
aimed for the door. I saw the guy at the gate still
there. He was kissing the glass. Pushing the door
open I had pushed him on the floor to. Now where
was I going to go. I might as well call Amy and
Raye. I pushed to little Mercury button and Mars
button. It had their planet signs on them. Funny,
how when Raye got here her button just popped up
there. "Amy, Raye, do you read me?"
"What is it, Serena?"
"Yeah, Bunny, what's going on?"
"Well, I am running from Melvin, who tried to
seduce me and force to kiss me also there was Molly
who totally freaked out on me. Oh and I have this
weird power to have boys suddenly chase me and want
me to love them as they love me. Other than that I
am just peachy. Amy, where are you? You are supposed
to be in school too with me. I could have used your
help."
"Well, I had to go to the hospital to test my
science fair project. I was going to be at school in
a little while."
"I need to be hidden from human view. I
am in danger with any human contact. I don't know
how or why this is happening. What am I suppose to
do?"
"Bunny, why don't you go to the temple and
call Luna while you're at it. This is serious and
should be handled as quickly as possible. Amy and I
will meet you there as soon as we can. I should be
there before you though so I'll put up an evil
spirit protector."
"Thanks, I'll be there in a jiffy. Moon out."
Now all I have to do is go to the temple and be safe
from all this wackiness.
@-------- Darien @--------
Sometimes I wonder, 'Why me?'. I really don't
have time for this. I can't believe that my teacher
wants me to lead her other class today because of
the paper I wrote. I got to keep a trace on where
the silver crystal maybe.
What is that noise? I turn my head to see Ms.
Pig-tails and a group of guys chasing her. That girl
is truly something. I guess I should see what the
problem is.
"Hey Ms. Pig-tails! Why are you running?" I
speak to her as she comes to me.
"Keep away if you know what is good for you!"
She shoves past me in a rush. What was that all
about? If I know what is good for me . . I should go
all behind her.
"Ms. Pig-tails, wait for me! I am trying to
help you with these guys!" I push through about what
seems like thirty guys to get to her in front.
Luckily speed is on my side today or I would never
catch up with her. I tap he on the shoulder.
"Ah! What are you doing up here? I thought I
left you back on the corner on First Street." She
said to me with much tired in her voice.
" I was trying to see why these guys are
following you and I see a couple of girls too."
" They are all in love with me and want me to
date them. The girls just want to tear me from limb
to limb. No biggie!" She laughed sarcastically at
her little situation. " Now, leave before you become
just like them and fall in love with me." She
motioned for me to shoo and started to run faster.
"Awe, come on! What is really going on?" I was
running even faster to match her speed. Boy, is she
fast. Then I see her do something that might have
cost her life if I had not been there. She tripped.
"Zut! I can't move! It hurts!" She was laying
on her butt rubbing her knee. She looked behind her
as I followed her eyes to the big crowd of people
coming at her. She looked up at me with fear and
concern. "We are going to get ran over! Run! Leave
me behind and save yourself!" She closed her eyes as
if she was going to take the impact of the stampede.
I scoop her in my arms and start to run with
her in my arms. While her eyes are closed I know I
can get to the top of that building and confuse the
mob as well. I round the corner to an alleyway. I
then jump. It was a couple of jumps actually to the
top of the building. I stop and kneel over for the
biggest breath I ever took in my life. I could still
see her eyes close and feel her body shiver.
"Are you alright?" I looked at her face. Her
eyes blinked opened and looked at my eyes. Was that
mob really going to hurt her? How could anyone want
to hurt her. I may not know her personally but I
very well know that this girl does not deserve to be
harm in any shape or form. She is so innocent and so
very beautiful. cough Not that I have noticed
since, she and I only met about four times. Well,
the fourth time was when she was at the ball and
she didn't even know it was me. I still have her
napkin. It is in my breast pocket, close to my
heart.
"You saved me?" Her eyes showed such hope.
That look she gave me made me feel a certain load of
responsibility towards her, Bunny. I would protect
her not only from the mob today, but for as long as
I can.
I nodded in return to her answer. Those
beautiful eyes shone at me and went straight to my
heart. "Why? Why would you put yourself in danger
because of me?" Did she think I wanted something in
return.
I shrugged my shoulders and looked in her
eyes. " I wanted to."
^.^ Serena ^.^ 3
He wanted to save me from the mob. My heart is
pounding so hard right now. His eyes are so blue. .
. so familiar . . . but now is not the time to think
about that. I have to figure out how to get to
Raye's without Darien coming with me. He is so
strange but looks so much like my protector, Tuxedo
Mask. I know . . I know I went off topic again.
"Darien, where are we?" I looked around and
show the tops of buildings. Were we on a roof? "
Umm, Darien this may sound bizarre, but are we on a
roof?" He blushed a little at my comment. How did he
get here and lose the crowd. I know he didn't jump.
Did he?
"I went through an alleyway and ran up the
stairs on the side of the building." Oh, so that is
what happened. It sure don't take him long to run.
I sigh. "How are we going to get to Raye's
temple with people chasing me?" I plead with him.
"What is going on?" He looked very confused. I
don't know what to tell him. I should be honest with
since he acts as my protector today.
"Well, somehow when I woke up this morning,
all the guys want to love me and the girls wish to
hurt me." I let out an ironic chuckle. "Now, I have
to get to Raye's temple for her to put up a
protection spell around me so this madness can
stop."
"How do you know that Raye will do it? You
said it yourself that all the girls you come in to
contact with will try to kill you." He pointed out
to me. Well, I didn't know the answer to that. I
just assumed that since they were sailor soldiers
they were special. Since I did get affected I guess
they should not get put under the spell as the other
people. Whoa, how did come Darien is not trying to
make me love him?
"Darien, why are you not in love with me? I
mean you are a guy and technically you are suppose
to be drooling over me." Aha, I pointed out
something he does not know the answer to. I'm good.
"Maybe I have a stronger will or something
like that. I don't know."
" What do we do now?"
"Camp out here for a while. I mean there are
human and they have to sleep."
His right. I guess. What do I do now? I am
starting to get hungry. Thoughts of cheesecake and
ice cream cloud my mind. Sweet and Sour pork with
steamed rice. Sushi and mango Jell-O. I drool a
little and my stomach reacts to my hungry.
Darien turns to me with an amused look. "Was
that you?"
I'm embarrassed. I nodded with a rejected
look. " I'm just a little hungry that's all."
He chuckles a little. " A little? You sounded
like you could eat a cow." He looks at me and
smiles. I feel the heat raise to my cheeks as I
realize just how cute he is when he smiles. "How
about I take you to my place and I make you a feast
fit for a princess?" I nod my head vigorously. He
smiles at me again. My heart suddenly melts.
That's not suppose to happen. . .
@-------- Darien @---------
Maybe it is just me but is the sun shining
brighter and the flowers smelling more sweeter. I
feel like I am on cloud nine. Here I am walking down
the street hand in hand with the most wonderful girl
I every met. I don't know why we are holding hands
but I know I am liking it. Maybe she is scared
because of the mob out to get her. She don't have to
worry I'll protect her.
Even though I have so much to tell her I can't
bring it out my mouth. Maybe when we reach the
apartment we will have more to say.
I feel like such a school boy with such silly
thoughts of Bunny. She is so bouncy and I can feel
her energy in the air. It's not at its full
potential. Maybe because of her fear and she is a
little tired from all that running and the stress
from the whole experience.
Bunny now sits on my couch and I am looking in
the refrigerator looking for something fitting for
her to eat. The glories of conveniences foods. I
know I did promise her a feast fit for the beautiful
princess she is but I have to take a little short
cut to it.
My groans and moans with this act of cooking
food must have brought the curiosity of my guest. I
hear her soft giggles as she watches me. I feel that
her feelings about me as changed. She feels more
personal towards me. But the kind of personal
confuses her.
It does not matter which one she chooses but
it does not matter. Well, I am voting for one side
but I would except any kind of relationship with
her.
"Darien, would you like me to help you?" I
feel she does not think I can do the task without
taking out a couple of fingers.
"If you'll like . . ." Before I know it she is
beside me and curiously looking over what I was
impress her with my skills of cooking and present
her a nice little American style lunch. "You can
check the wings in the oven, see if they are cook."
I watched her as she opened the oven to check on the
wings like I asked. She stared at them for a while.
I think she was trying to tell if they were done or
not.
Her eyes rise to mine. Her voice was full with
curiosity as she speaks, "Darien, what kind of wings
are these?".
I turn around and go back to my task. "They
are called Buffalo wings. I got the recipe from an
American cookbook." I actually got them from a pre-
packaged American shop called 'Murray's Steakhouse'.
"What do they taste like?"
"Well, they are really hot and you will need
lots of water to take it all down."
She made a face by wrinkling her little nose.
Then her face went as if she is thinking about
something. I sense she is going to ask me a question
that she has been pondering for awhile, "Darien, how
did you really get on the roof? I mean I believe the
crowd would have followed you. Unless you are
superman and you can fly there is no way you could
have lost them." Aww man, I have to tell her
something. I hate to lie to her but..
"Well, I have an anti-evil charm on me that my
mother gave me when I was younger." So that wasn't a
complete lie. When I was younger I was in an
orphanage and in my pants pocket that on the night
of the accident. I found this little charm that I
can't seem to part with. Of course I don't know who
gave it to me because the accident caused me my
memory. "I guess whatever possessing them is truly
evil. Did you do anything that might have got evil
people anger at you and cast a spell on you or
something?"
^.^ Serena ^.^ 3
Did I do anything that caused evil people to
cast a spell on me? I don't think so. Well, there is
last night with the monster and all. I was closer to
it then normally and some of the dust did come onto
me. Could the dust of the finished monster be
causing all this? There are so many questions and so
little time. I can't keep going about in the world
when people want to either kill me or fell in love
with me. Even though it does sound tempting.
There is one thing I can not understand. Why
is Darien not under the spell. He is treating me as
a normal person. But he does have an effect me in a
way I can not fathom. The arcade guy never affected
me like that with his smile and me heart never felt
like coming out of my chest before. Even though
arcade guy is a major cutie(squeal!!), I feel so
much of that but ten times the effect.
Well, I have to tell him something, "Well,
last night I did take a walk nice the park and heard
some commotion and checked it out. It the
shadows I show some people. There was a burst of
light and scream of pain. I went over to look and
they were gone. All I saw was a pile of dust on the
ground. I examine it a little too. It was a pretty
silver color but I had to go home afterwards." I
sighed, It was pretty late out and mom wanted me to
be back in an half of hour."
He seemed to be thinking about some
thing and turned to me. "Well, maybe that crime
fighter who is Sailor V's partner as they say in the
newspaper was fighting an evil force." He looked at
me strangely, "Do you think she turn people who are
evil into moon dust?"
I gave him a look equally strange, "Hey
anything is possible now-a-days. But is the food
ready I am really hungry."
He chuckled and tapped my nose with his
finger. "Well you wait in the dining room and lunch
will be served in a minute ma petite."
**
Lunch was wonderful even though I drank a lot
of water due to the Buffalo wings. Darien was the
perfect gentleman and offered me more which is a
plus in my book. I decided that needed to call Raye
and tell her what was happening.
"Hello, Raye?"
I heard her sigh," Where are you Serena? I
have been here for the past hour worrying about
you." I could here the concern in her voice and I
immediately felt bad.
"Sorry, Raye. I am at Darien's apartment. He
is letting me claim sanctuary here."
"Well, I thought you were coming here to do
the spell but obviously you ditched Amy and I for
some guy.", now anger was raising in her voice and
she was particularly annoyed. Raye has something
against males for some reason. I know she do not
trust them in the least.
"Raye, that is not what happened. I had
trouble getting to your place with all the people
chasing me. Luckily, Darien was there and helped me
with the crowd. He helped me lose them and brought
me to his place for lunch as well as protection." I
looked at Darien when I said this and he smiled
broadly at me. He was in the kitchen washing dishes
and I was drying off since I insisted to help.
"Well, have you even thought about him trying
to take advantage of you since that spell is in
effect. I thought you said he was under a spell
since he is a guy."
"Of course I thought of that first off. He
shows no signs of being in love with me, Raye. The
spell usually takes affect immediately when a person
comes in contact with me." I sighed, "Raye,
how am I suppose to get to you without having to be
chase down the street by mob. I have to get to your
place for the spell to ware off."
"Come here tonight when Darien is sleep. GO in
Sailor mode and be fast."
"Yes, Raye I understand. I hope to see you
soon."
"Bunny, be careful." Gosh, it's moments like
this that I really do love Raye.
"I will. You and Amy take care too ok?"
"Ok, bye. . ." The phone clung down on her end
and I did the same. Raye is worried about me. I
should not have waited so long to call her. I wished
I had a chance to talk to Amy. Maybe I'll contact
her on the communicator while I am in the bathroom
or something.
"What did Raye say?" Darien interrupted my
train of thoughts.
"She told me tomorrow may be a better day to
go out to her temple. The spell might wear off by
then." So, I lied big deal. He won't notice that I
am gone. I'll be back here before time the sun
raises.
"So, you are staying over?"
You know, I never thought of it in that
manner. I am staying over a very cute guy's house
alone with him. Darien and I are going to be alone
for awhile. Plus it is not helping that I have some
weird feeling for the man. "Yes, I am. Is that ok
with you?" I asked hoping he would not kick me out
and say, 'Yeah Ms. Pigtails, my girlfriend and I
have something to do tonight so if you would
leave!!'. . .boy I hope my worst nightmare is no-
where near reality.
"Yeah, I think it is a problem. Get out now!"
Darien told me with a huge grin on his face. He
started to laugh. "Of, course to you can stay,
Bunny." He laughs again and gives me this awesome
smile. "You think I would leave you out there so the
mob can get you?"
I stutter, "I..I..I thought you might have
your. . umm . . girlfriend. . you know . . over for
whatchamacallit. . Valentine's day." The whole time
I was looking down at the floor and blushing heat at
278 degrees.
Two of his fingers went under my chin and I
was looking into his eyes. He had a grin on his face
that was too perfect with a few strands of his hair
caressed his face. "This is exactly where I want to
be right now on Valentine's day, with you." His lips
came closer to me. I close my eyes. Oh my gosh, he
is going to kiss me.
I felt his lips go to my forehead and he pulled
away.
Damn.
I think he saw the look of disappointment on
my face as he looked at me. He chuckled a little,
"You look a little sad. Did you want my lips to go
somewhere else?". Shoot, him charms and smile has me
captured. I am blushing profoundly. I look down so
he is not to see my blush and shake my head really
fast as to say no. " You could have fooled me .", he
chuckles some more. His smile is incredible. I love
being on the receiving end of his smiles.
I could have thought about him for the rest of
the day if we were not interrupted. Someone was
knocking at the front door. Darien motioned me to go
into his bedroom while he 'take care' of who was at
the door.
@-------- Darien @---------
I am a little on edge with Serena here and
all. I was hoping to not have any interruptions due On
the other hand I rarely get any visitors.
I open the door and greet a young man with
messy brown hair and weird looking glasses. I greet
him, "Good afternoon.".
He cocks a grin and takes off his glasses.
I don't believe my eyes or his. Black, colorless eyes
are what I am staring at.
