Here's the next chapter! Thank you to all my reviewers! You guys are so very sweet.

Also, after "Boston" referred to Chapter 2 as "Cookie Cereal," I've decided I should probably put chapter titles. XD


"Why are you wearing different colored socks?" Serena asked staring at Darien's ankles.

"Meatball head, are you that short that the first thing you see are my socks?" He continued sipping his coffee.

"But you always dress perfect. Were you running late or something?"

He raised an eyebrow at her. "You notice the way I dress?"

"Uh," she sputtered, shrugging. "We see each other every day. It's not something I look for—just, you know, it's there as all."

"Hey, Serena," said Andrew, resting his elbows on the counter, "what can I get you?"

"The usual," she said with a smile. "Do you know why Darien is wearing two different socks?"

"Is he?" asked Andrew, glancing over at the raven haired man.

Darien glared at his friend while trying to hide a growing blush.

"Yeah," she continued, nodding her head. "He usually just wear black ones but these are dark brown and navy blue."

"Wait—you know I wear black socks?" Darien asked, turning to her.

She coughed into her hand, her cheeks staining pink. "Just—you know—I see you everyday. Something I picked up on—"

"You know," interrupted Andrew, "dark brown and navy blue are almost like black."

"That's true," she said, nodding. Turning to Darien, she gave him a smile. "So maybe no one else will notice."

"Right." Darien gave her a slight nod then buried himself in finishing his coffee. He hoped she didn't pick up on the blush that refused to leave his cheeks.

"Hey, can you try out the new Sailor V game?" asked Andrew, handing her the usual chocolate milkshake. "I need to know if it's any good."

"Sure!" Serena ran off to test the product, digging quarters out of her pocket.

"Could've picked more obvious than almost-black socks to change in your dress," said Andrew to Darien. "Then again, picking up something that insignificant proves my point even more." The blonde man smiled like a cat that just ate the canary.

"Fine," said Darien, scratching the back of his neck. "She does notice me."
