........................

In a little known arcade called The Crown, through shiny glass doors,
in an air conditioned game filled room, a sprightly blonde-haired
angel was fast asleep; her friends desperately trying to wake this
sleeping beauty...

"SERENA TSUKINO, WAKE UP THIS MINUTE!!"


"Rei!! That was right in my ear!"


"Oops...sorry, Lita!" The raven-haired girl blushed a crimson hue, her
pale cheeks turning a rosy red.


Mina prodded the slumbering girl with her straw to no avail, the
snoring beauty refused to awaken. She prodded her friend again for
extra emphasis.

"Come on guys, she had a hard night!"

"Ami, we ALL had a hard night last night but WE'RE not falling into
an unwakeable sleep!!"


Ami rubbed her forehead to try and prevent the onslaught of a
headache. Serena was on her own this time. The only person visibly not
worrying too much about the dozing girl was Mina.

"Sereeennnaaaaa, wake up!"


"Rei, it's no use, that girl could sleep through a hurricane, a
tornado and the loudest riot all put together!"

"Yup, when that girl is sleeping, the only thing that'll wake her up
is either the smell of her mother's cooking or Luna yowling about a
youma on the loose!"

Three of the girls collectively sighed a sound of defeat while the
other one just grinned in amusement.

"What have we got here?"

The girls that were...awake...turned to look at the newcomer, a tall,
chiseled young man with ebony hair and smoldering blue eyes.

"Hey Darien!"

"Hey! Do you think that maybe he could......?"

"Nah."

"We could ask!"

"Hmm...I guess..."

Darien stared down at the girls sitting before him in bewilderment
while Mina just gave an all knowing look that made him feel like
running away as fast as he could without looking back. He turned his
eyes to stare down at a blond mass asleep on the counter.

"Is that Meatball head?"

"Yup, she's out like a log, as usual."

He suppressed a laugh as he turned to look at her nonchalant friend.

"Well aren't you going to wake her up?"

"Huh? Why don't YOU try it if you're so smart!"

He raised an inquisitive eyebrow as he looked inquisitively at the
group, who in turn looked at him expectantly.



He bent down so they were on the same eye-level.



He tilted his head so that his lips almost brushed her ear.




He heard Serena mumble something and leaned in closer to hear what it
was.

''Mmmm...hello, my prince......'' She giggled softly to herself, her
sapphire eyes still sealed beneath her eyelids. She sighed and
whispered,

''Oh your so......''



And with that last thought he yelled into her ear, "WAKE UP MEATBALL
HEAD!!"

........Everyone waited with baited breath aaannnddd......

Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Not even her being insulted by her
worst enemy with her most hated nickname woke her up!!?

Darien frowned in confusion as he saw her mouth open and close.



Everyone stopped and crowded round the sleeping Serena, who was
mumbling incoherently in her sleep.

''Why do you call me such an awful name, my prince, hmmm?'' She sighed
dejectedly and whispered, ''I give up...''

"Well, she''s in the way here, we'll have to move her into the back
room." The up-until-now silent Andrew announced leaning over the
counter so his elbows fell just short of the slumbering blond.

"Well who's going to carry her?"

"Darien can do it!" piped in Mina, still giving that all knowing
look to Darien, who again had to suppress the urge to run.
He didn't argue though. Instead, he merely picked up the sleeping girl
in his arms and headed towards the back room. No sooner had he
balanced her weight, she snuggled in closer to him, sighing in
contentment.
Darien looked down at the sleeping meatball head in his arms.



He walked into the back room and was about to say something when he
realized that nobody had followed him in to help.

"Well that's just dandy, isn't it? Don't bother trying to help me
guys......" He mumbled as he lay the bundle in his arms onto the couch and
proceeded to cover her with a faded plaid blanket.

"Just one kiss, my prince?" He heard her mumble sleepily.

He had just pulled the fuzzy blanket up to her chin and was staring
at her face--rather, he was intensely staring at her lips. He recalled
what he had heard the girls say only moments before.


......Out like a log......

......Impossible to wake......

He thought as he stared down at her, enraptured by her
quiet beauty.

He didn''t finish his thought, however, for his lips were already
caressing hers. He was surprised to feel her kissing him back; he lost
himself in the kiss, unconsciously beginning to deepen it. He slid his
tongue over her lips and she opened her mouth freely as her arms slid
from beneath the blanket to wrap around his neck and into his hair.
Darien groaned at her touch as he felt an electric shock twinge
through his body. Soon he needed air and gently broke the kiss.

Serena's eyes were still closed as she sighed in contentment. It was
then that he realized what he had done...yup, his hormones had
definitely taken over him again.



''Thank you my prince......" she murmured dreamily.

Darien stared down at her in disbelief...she was still asleep!



He stooped as he got to the door, which thankfully had been closed
throughout the whole incident, stopping to glance back in awe.



And with that, he left the room and headed home, while unbeknownst to
him a ''sleeping'' Serena opened her eyes and smiled happily to
herself before snuggling closer to her blanket and returning to the
land of nod......
