I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank my reviewers!
Hatami, Kalinda, Kella ,Cuttie-blossom and Priestess of Anubis
Without you I would surely give up. Thanks a million!
Lizzy, Andrew's sister and the only female employee of the Crown Arcade rushed to see what the commotion was. opening the door to the ladies room, She noticed Serena laying in a fetal position on the floor. Soft whimpers made their way to Lizzy's ears
"Serena? What is wrong?" Lizzy asked
.
"My hair" she replied "It-It's turning silver!"
" Oh Sere" Lizzy said soothing the prostrate girl, "It happens to look very nice like that! In fact I would kill to have your hair!"
"R-Really?" Serena asked.
"Of course…now let's go get that milkshake my brother made for you." Lizzy encouraged.
The girls made their way to the counter, where Andrew was waiting.
"Sorry 'bout that 'Drew" Serena said.
"Oh no problem" He replied, giving her a wink and a grin.
Serena smiled and took a sip of her milkshake. She had to admit, after all that had happened Andrew's milkshake was exactly what she needed to brighten her mood. Just when Serena thought her day was heading in the right direction, She heard the sliding doors open and a familiar voice said:
"Hey 'Drew"
Andrew turned, a huge grin plastered on his face.
"Darien! How are you?" asked Andrew "Is there anything I can get you?"
"My usual would do. Thanks 'Drew" replied Darien
"Be right back" said Andrew as he exited.
Serena, who was still seated decided it would be best not to move. Perhaps if she was still enough he wouldn't notice her!
Darien's P.O.V:
There was something wrong with this picture. I looked around and I could not find Meatball head anywhere! She is normally here at this time, not that I keep track mind you. She is just fun to tease. Right, like I'd have feelings for her! Wow I'd have to be nuts!
She is cute though, especially when she is mad. What! Did I just think that? Darien get over it! You do not like her like that! As a friend maybe, but nothing more. I spotted a blonde with silver highlights who could probably pass as Meatball head, but she did not have her hair in pig tails, it was in a single pony tail! Being as intrigued as I was I decided to go and initiate a conversation with her.
"Hi, I'm Darien" he said ,breaking the uncharacteristic silence of the arcade.
"I know who you are MR. MINUS ZERO PERSONALITY!" Exclaimed Serena, as she spun her chair around to glare at her tormentor.
"S-Serena?" stuttered Darien, taken aback. "Wow!"
Serena:
I can not believe he called me by my name! It is just too much! What is happening to me? My hair is turning silver, Darien is acting strangely! Is the world as we know it coming to an end? He is dreamy! -wait. Hold on there. What did I just think? Oh my goodness, I do not have feelings for him! Oh just forget it! He's looking at me in a strange way. It is almost as if I were some exquisite creature that he could not quite figure out. Wow he is looking into my eyes now. I could get lost in those eyes!
For Serena and Darien time stood still as they stared into each other's eyes. Something rather odd happened a while later. Serena fell into a trance, her eyes were a void (AN: Think Sailor Moon R movie when she dies) As she remembered a part of her dream the night before.
* Serenity was hiding behind a tree. The scouts had just used their powers to teleport themselves to earth. Having spotted four generals they decided to introduce themselves.
"Sere?" Minalla started, " I want you to wait for a man with raven tresses and midnight blue eyes!"
"W-What?" Serenity asked, frightened that she would be left alone soon.
" Sorry Sere, but that is the extent of information I can give you" Minalla replied apologetically.
Not long after the senshi departed than footsteps could be heard approaching her hiding place.
She shivered in fear as she peaked around the trunk. She found herself face to face with a man with midnight eyes and rave tresses. Interestingly, he was the first to speak.
"Fear not little one. I will not harm you and as long as I am around no one else will either!"
He pledged. "My name is Endymion, Prince of Earth. Come now."
With that he stepped into the moonlight revealing the rest of his features to her.*
Serena jolted out of her trance. Why was Darien in her dream? It was then that she decided to talk with Luna about these strange phenomena. She stood up, thanked Andrew and ran as fast as her legs could take her. Her destination? Her house which contained her talking cat and guardian Luna. On the way there, however she ran into a group of four girls. She hurriedly explained and they all followed her back to her place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile at the Arcade~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Darien sat at the counter of the Arcade drinking his coffee. It was prepared as he like it. Strong, Black and bitter. Almost like himself. His mind was plagued with questions. Why did she run away? Where did she go? His train of thought was derailed when Andrew approached.
"Why so glum Dare?" Andrew questioned, concerned.
"Why do things have to work out the way they do? Why do you never have any control in the situations that you most desire it?" Asked Darien, being scornful.
Andrew, knowing that when Darien was in one of his moods, he becomes unreasonable decided to back off and let Darien have his space.
Darien:
She left abruptly. She did not want to be near me. But when I was looking into her eyes I saw things. I saw fear, strength, concern and….. Care! But could she possibly care about me? No she hates me! Oh why did I have to be so mean to her? Ok Darien ! Starting tomorrow you are going to be nice to her!
Darien spoke with Andrew and obtained the information he sought-Serena's address and phone number. He left the arcade for his apartment where he would plan his surprise for Serena.
Neither Serena, nor Darien noticed the affect the flash had on Serena. It would be a shock to both when they did.
I decided to leave off with Darien's POV for this chapter. Sorry it is so short and how long it took me to update! I had three midterms and My (future) sister-in-law went into labor this morning so I had to wrap this up quickly to get to the hospital! I need an editor so please if you are interested please e-mail me, IM me etc.
Next chapter: The meeting between Serena, the Senshi and Luna and Darien's surprise is planned.
Also remember that every time Serena remembers something another trait/characteristic changes!
