Author's Note: Trying again. Another Darien and Serena fic. As of this second I have no idea what the plot is. So you'll just have to go with the flow.

Serena laid back on the blanket picking petals off a flower."He loves me, He loves me not..." She picked the last petal off the flower. "He loves me!!"

A face appeared above her. "Not."

"Very funny Darien." She said showing no sign of getting irritated or retalitating.

Darien waited for more, but nothing came. "That's it? No tantrums? No annoyed screams?"

"Nope." Serena stared up into his eyes totally calm.

He sat down cross legged beside her. "Are you okay, Meatball Head?"

"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" She smiled at his dumbfounded expression.

"Well...you just seem...different."

"You mean I'm not letting you get to me." She laughed at the sky.

"I guess that's what I mean."

"Well, I decided to just let it go. I mean I like my hairstyle why let you bother me about it?"

"What if I like your hairstyle?"

Her forehead creased in thought. "Why do you tease me about it if you like it?"

"Because."

"I don't know if that means you are strange, or just evil," she laughed again.

Darien liked how her whole face lit up when she laughed. The whole time he had sat there she had never taken her eyes off the sky. He wished she would just look at him. For one second if only his eyes could connect with hers.

"I don't think I'm either."

She looked at him with an eyebrow sarcastically raised. "Oh really?"

"Really. Why? Which one do you think I am?"

She sighed and sat up. "I don't know. Maybe both."

He looked kind of hurt and shocked. "How am I strange?"

"You're not so much strange as you are mysterious. The only one who knows anything about you is Andrew. And you could date, but you don't. You don't have to hang around the Arcade, but your always there."

Darien studied the grass below him. It was true. "Maybe I have a reason for not dating."

"Well, yeah, no one wants to get hurt."

"Maybe I come to the Arcade everyday for a reason." He looked into Serena's blue eyes.

She held the gaze trying to search him for the reason. Andrew didn't even come to the arcade everyday. She did.

"Hey Darien!" Raye called. The gaze broke. "What are you doing here?"

"Just talking to Meatball Head."

Mina laughed. "You and Serena talking? Civilly?"

Serena nodded. "Yeah."

The scouts were stunned speechless.

Darien stood up. "Well, I better get going. See ya." He started walking away.

"Hey Darien," Serena called.

He turned around. "Yeah Meatball Head?"

"You're neither." She smiled sincerely at him.

He returned the smile. "Thanks, Serena." He continued walking away. The scouts watched him go and then turned to Serena. She was still smiling.

"That was THE SCARIEST thing I've ever seen." Lita said.

"Are you sick, Serena?" Ami asked. She put her hand to Serena's forehead. "No fever."

"Of course not Ami! This must be the wrong Serena. Where do you think the other one is?" Mina said.

"Just drop it guys." Serena stood up. "It's nothing. Okay?"

"Okay." They chorused.

"I think I'm going to go ahead home." Serena said. She started walking away.

"You aren't going to study are you?" Raye laughed.

"You know," Serena looked over her shoulder at Raye, "I think I will."

Ami fainted. The other three scouts looked at each other. What happened to the Serena they knew?

Serena didn't actually go home. She went to the opposite side of the park and picked another flower. "He loves me, He loves me not," She pulled the last petal. "He loves me!"

"How many times do I have to tell you not?" Darien sat on the bench beside her.

"As many as you want, but he does." She said gazing straight at him. Her crystal blues were shining brightly. He was sure she could see straight through him.

"So who is this mystery man?" He asked.

She sighed. "That's exactly what he is. A mystery man. He's just so perfect." She started rambling. "Ami and the rest of them think he's bad news, but I know he's not. He's too beautiful."

"Hey Serena?" He interrupted her. "You still haven't given me a name."

"Why do you need a name?"

"No reason. Just want to know."

She blushed. "Well you'll probably think it's stupid."

"No I won't." He's said taking her by surprise.

"Well it's Tuxedo Mask."

His smiled reached both ears. She stood up.

"Don't laugh at me! We really do belong together! I know it!"

"I wasn't laughing at you!" He stood beside her and took her hand. "It's because... Tuxedo Mask isn't bad news." He whispered in her ear. "He'll always be there for you and he loves you. Just call him and he'll come."

She was stunned and his voice was so calming. Almost hypnotizing. She would go anywhere with Darien at the moment. She whispered softly, "How do you know all this?"

"I just do." He pulled away. "I'll see you later, Serena."

"Okay." Serena said in a dreamy voice. She watched him leave and sat back down. Darien wasn't so bad after all.

Author's Notes: Chapter Two coming soon. I think.
