Darien wiped the sweat from his face with one of the towels Helios kept in the Shrine, smirking as he noticed the Priest doing the same. Their swords lay at their feet, forgotten for the moment.

"Thanks for the workout Helios, I really needed that," Darien smiled, materialising two bottles of water and throwing one to Helios.

"No problem Darien, I really enjoyed that. Now you really should talk to Serena, before Amara comes after you with her Space Sword. Nothing even I could teach you could prepare you for that level of assault," Helios chuckled. "I'll clean your sword and put it back, you just go really quick."

Darien nodded his gratitude as he closed his eyes. Within moments he had teleported out of Elysian.

"Darien you bastard! What are you doing here?!" Darien opened his eyes to see the three young women sitting on the stairs of the house behind him. In the middle was his girlfriend, who he could tell by her red face and tears that she was extremely upset.

"Sere! I've come to apologise," Darien explained as he rushed to kneel in front of Serena.

Serena looked at him, apprehensive of what he was going to say. "Amara, Michelle, can you please leave us to talk? I appreciate your support but what needs to be said needs to be without your input. I'll be fine, ok?"

Michelle gave a warning glare to Darien and a sympathetic smile to her Princess. "Alright, but call us the second you need us, alright?"

At her nod, and her wobbly attempt at a smile, Michelle dragged a protesting Amara up the stairs and into the house.

As she turned back to look at Darien, her smile faded. "Darien, I need to know. Did you really mean what you said? That all you really wanted was for us to go back to your apartment and for me to take my shirt off-" here she blushed a bright red "-so you could check me out?" She asked loud enough for only him to hear.

Darien blushed, suddenly realising…understanding a little more as to why Serena and Andrew had freaked out so much…he had come off sounding like a complete pervert. Well, he had already realised that, but it didn't explain why they acted so…angry about it. They seemed almost too extreme considering it was just one comment and not a detailed fantasy…..

Confused, Serena watched her boyfriend turn bright red almost like herself. Blinking, Serena tried to work out what on Earth was going through his mind…failing miserably.

"Hello? Moon to Earth?" She couldn't help but giggle at their little joke despite their current relationship crisis.

Darien smiled a little as he looked up at her, taking her petite hands into his larger ones on her lap.

"Sere, I am so sorry that I insulted you, that wasn't my intention. Yes I did mean what I said-" At this, Serena went to pull away from him, hurt despite his apology and his claim, "-but not in the way you and Andrew thought I meant. I wanted to check your back to make sure it had healed properly, without any glass still embedded in your skin despite your accelerated healing abilities. The logical part of me knows that you always heal quickly, but there is a part of me that always worries as to whether you're okay. And since you were in a rush to get home, there was no time for me to check if everything was going heal just fine or not."

"Oh Darien!"

The blonde threw her arms around her boyfriend, pulling her into a tight embrace. "I am the one who should be sorry! I just automatically assumed you were being a pervert! I should've realised that you are too private a person to voice your fantasies in public! Of course you'd be thinking like an overprotective boyfriend and future doctor!" She wailed.

A snicker drew the couple's attention above them, where an amused Amara was leaning against one of the frames holding the house up.

"Figures. You two are so clueless when it comes to being in a relationship! Trust me, that's nothing compared to what I say to Michelle in-" The senshi of wind looked sheepish when said girlfriend walked outside, looking completely unimpressed.

"Amara sweetie, I don't think they want to know what we say to each other in private. Serena, your mum called. She wants you home to talk about a family matter. She said we can re-schedule our girls night for another time."

Serena sighed, looking disappointed. "Aww, thanks Michelle! I am so sorry for tonight not ending like we planned."

Amara dismissed them with her hand. "Don't worry about it, it's not like we haven't got enough time left in the world. Soon we'll be trying to spend time away from each other."

Michelle agreed, laughing. "So how do you two plan on getting back?"

They looked at other in silence for a second, then shrugged when they turned to look at the other couple.

"No idea. As a Lunarian I can't teleport Serena with me through Elysian until we're married, and the Senshi transport requires at least 4 scouts, and there's only 3 here."

Amara thought for a second, shrugged and pegged her car keys at Darien. "Here, take this. But I swear to Selene Darien, you damage this, and I will do whatever damage it received to you."

Serena giggled as Darien gave her mock salute, before he wrapped an arm around her waist, guiding her towards the passenger seat of the car.

"My lady," he said seriously, bowing as he opened the car door. Grinning far more widely than she knew she should be, the blonde got into the car.

As Darien walked to the driver's side, he looked up at Amara and Michelle, one of which was pretending to gag and the other was smiling affectionately at the pair.

"Thanks Amara!" The couple shouted as Darien reversed down the driveway.

Michelle and Amara shared the same look as they said "Kids."
