Serena spent the rest of the week reviewing her script and attending her usual classes. She found she was even enjoying her weapon making class as she had made friends with a couple of the guys there. Darien had managed to get her to tell him about what really happened when he had found her beaten on the ground. He seemed rather angry when he found out who it was that caused it. Beryl had been laying it low for the last couple of days; Serena thought this was in order to avoid confrontation with the scouts. Raye though had been acting strangely. She would zone out every now and then and speak warnings of impending doom. Serena couldn't help but think the priestess was right. That's part of why she was on her way to the campus' temple where Raye would be spending her Saturday.
She must have been distracted from the lines she was reciting in her head from the play as she looked up and saw that she had no idea where she was. It looked like she was on the edge of some sort of forest area. She could hear a stream behind the trees, so she decided to investigate. To keep herself from becoming too scared she decided to hum random notes (a strange thing to do yes, but it does keep one distracted). She found a bit of a resting spot by the stream and sat down on a rock. 'I'll have to tell Lita about this spot, she loves the outdoors,' Serena thought to herself. After sitting at her quiet spot for a while, she started to head back. She had this weird feeling that she was being followed, but she brushed it off thinking it was just her nerves.
After finding her way to the temple she went in. She was informed that Raye was in front of the fire at the moment and that she could wait for her outside of the door. Raye wasn't too long in coming out and her eyes were red and puffy. When she saw Serena, she told her to follow her into one of the side rooms. It was quiet for a bit before Serena finally asked how Raye was. It was obvious that she had been crying for a bit. Raye didn't give away a whole lot, but she did say that the scouts had to find the princess soon because she was in trouble. There would be a scout meeting soon.
Serena headed back to her apartment when yet again she ran into somebody. She didn't tumble to the ground at least, so she knew it couldn't be Darien. She apologized to the tall man she recognized from her weapons class.
"Hahaha, hi Serena! You need to watch where those pretty little feet are going. You wouldn't want to stumble into anything dangerous now would you?" The blond haired man stated.
"Right Daimon, I'll be more careful next time," Serena said quickly and started to walk away quickly. She didn't know why, but she felt Daimon was a little interested in her and it made her a little uncomfortable. After all, she had never really had a boyfriend. 'Huh,' she thought, 'that's really sad. I'm in College and I've never had a boyfriend.' Maybe Daimon wasn't too bad, he was rather attractive with his blond/whitish hair and lean build. While she was wrapped up in her thoughts she hadn't noticed Daimon following her.
"Serena, here, let me walk you back to your apartment," he said more than asked. She was about to say 'no thank you, I'm fine by myself' when he said, "I need your help in our homework and was wondering if we could talk on the way." Well, if there was one thing she couldn't do it was to turn down a person's plea for help. So, she nodded and started back towards her apartment with her classmate. They talked until she got to her building. "You know Serena, you're really easy to talk to," Daimon said gently, "do you think we could go out sometime?" Serena was a little shocked at first and went beet red. She was never good when it came to romance and the opposite sex. She was just about to answer when someone interrupted from behind.
"Hey Meatballs, I need to talk to you," Darien said while looking at Daimon suspiciously.
"Can't it wait Chiba-san? We were just in the middle of a conversation before you interrupted," Daimon said coldly. Serena looked back and forth between the men that seemed to be staring each other down.
"It's about the play Serena," Darien said while still staring at Daimon out the corner of his eye. Serena was relieved to have a reason to get out of the conversation with Daimon; it would give her a little more time to think about his question.
"It's alright Daimon, I'll see you in class on Monday, k?" Serena told him before nodding at Darien to follow her inside the building. While in the elevator she asked him about the play.
"Well, uhhh, you see.... there wasn't actually anything to tell you about the play," Darien said nervously at first before going into a little arrogant speech, "you just shouldn't be speaking to that ... that guy. He's bad news. He's the type that tends to well, you know, want stuff."
This time Serena's face turned red for an entirely different reason. "AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DICTATE MY LOVE LIFE YOU JERK!" She said in a rage. "Or do you just want to see me unhappy?" She got out at their floor and marched into her apartment slamming the door behind her.
"That one always jumps to conclusions. It's just as well Tuxedo Mask has an endless supply of roses," Darien mumbled as he went into his apartment to attempt to figure out the woman that lived beside him.
