I'll Always Love You
A Sailor Moon Lime

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. I'm just borrowing the charectors from Takeuchi Naoko/Kodansha's Manga, "Bishouji Senshi Seilaa Muun," or in english, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon.
It was a rather hot and murky day in the Moon Kingdom, and the immature ones of the royal court, Prince Darien of Earth and his four best friends, Malachite, Zoycite, Nephlyte, and Jedite, had all left their fighting lessons early and had decided to skip the rest of the day's training sessions and all the business meeting they should've gone to, to spend the afternoon in the rainforests of the kingdom. So there they walked, over the well-worn, brown dirt paths through the forest that they had walked a thousand times before, under the towering trees that seemed to stretch up so high that they appeared to touch the sky. Even though the whole forest was shaded over by the trees, and provided some coolness from the extreme arid temperatures of the day, it was still rather hot.
"Damn... Even in this forest, it's still so fricking hot." Zoicite complained
"It could be hotter, Zoi." Malachite reminded him. "Remember the time we had to go to Mars? Now THAT was hot."
"Hey... did anyone notice that we've managed to escape the castle without our little ray of sunshine?" Darien asked, suddenly aware that the young princess of the moon, Serena, wasn't tagging along with them.
"You know Serena. She has a knack for knowing when to find us in these woods. She knows them about as well as we do, if not better." Nephlyte stated.
"It's still too hot. Think anyone will see us here, in the forest of the confusing coniferous?" Jedite asked.
"Not really. We're the only ones who dare come in here, as we're the only ones that don't get lost." stated Malachite.
"Well then. I'm taking my shirt off. These training uniforms are very good for training, but very bad at letting the heat out." Jedite said.
The other men agreed, and all took their shirts off, and carried them till they reached their little hideaway. The hideaway was a pool that was surrounded by forest, and was at the base of a waterfall. The water in the pool was always just warm enough to not be cold, and was always a clear crystal blue color. The guys had moved rocks and boulders from the mountain that the water from the falls fell from to make comfortable sitting spots around the pool. Even though it was a peaceful day in the forest, the birds chirping, the wind rustling the trees, something was missing.
Then the sereness of the forest was disturbing as the sound of someone running through the forest could be heard.
"Told you she'd be along, Darien." Nephlyte stated.
"Yep, you did. Let's see what things she'll do today. I remember when we used to think those things were funny..." Darien said, going off into dreamland for a bit.
"Yeah, but she just turned 14 last month. You turned 18 yesterday. Jed's 21, Neph's 22, Zoi's 23, and I'm 24. There's a big difference in age between... well, most of us. You and her aren't that far apart in age, Darien." Malachite said.
"Yeah well... Don't try hooking me up with her... She's not my type..." Darien said. Despite what he had just told his friends, He'd always had a crush on the young moon princess. By this time, the sound of running feet had stopped, and the five guys noticed Serena was standing atop her rock seat.
"Hiya guys! I tell ya, that secret escape route you put in my room, that exits out of the castle comes in handy. My mother wanted me to go to some boring tea party with all the royal queens of the planets. I've spent enough time at those snooze parties to last a life time." Serena complained. "Besides, why would I want to go to a party when I can come here and spend time with five of the hottest guys in the Silver Millennia?"
"Well, at the least the girl has taste. Too bad you aren't a few years older. Words like that might've gotten you somewhere." Zoicite said, grinning.
"Zoi, want me to tell Clarisse you said that?" Jedite said, knowing Zoicite's current girlfriend wouldn't be too happy if she found out he was flirting with other girls.
"Jed, you do, and I'll introduce you to one of my other friends. Their name is my fist." Zoicite countered.
"You two are worse than me and my friend Raye. Darnit, it's hot. Oh well. I'll just follow the trend." Serena said, taking off her shirt.
"Um... Serena, put your shirt back on." Darien said, getting slightly red at the sight of his friend's breasts.
"What's the problem? It's not like you haven't seen me without my shirt on before."
"Serena, last time we saw you with your shirt off, you didn't have tits." Jedite answered.
"Oh for crying out loud. Just cause I have boobs now, all you guys are telling me I can't have my shirt off. You all are supposed to be my friends!" whined the moon princess. Instictively, Darien put his arm around her to comfort her, but the situation got awkward when Darien found his hand near her boob. "For crying out loud. Just cause I grow boobs, everything's awkward. Time to fix that." Serena boldly stated, moving Darien's hand onto her boob, so that his arm was in position she found most comforting. All the guys snickered at the prediciment Darien was in, as they could cleary see Darien liked it, but he didn't know what to do because it was Serena.
"Should we give him a hand?" Malachite whispered to the Zoicite.
"What? And miss Darien turn bright red? Hell no." answered Zoicite.
"Thought you'd say that." Malachite sighed as he watched Darien's awkward position get even more awkward. Not only was Serena not letting him take his hand away, but now she was leaning on his shoulder and running her hand down his chest. It was clearly obvious to everyone except for Serena that Darien was really liking this.
"Darien, why is there a big bulge in your pants?" Serena asked. She'd had her eyes closed for awhile, and when she opened them and turned her head, she had a clear view or what was going on in Darien's tight dark blue pants.
"Er... um... All this stuff your doing... not letting me move my hand... running your hand down my chest..." Darien started.
"You've been flirting heavilly with him, Serena. You do know what happens when a girl flirts heavilly with a guy, don't you?" Jedite asked.
"Not really..." Serena answered in an embarrassed tone of voice. "I'm a bit more naive than I let on to being..." After saying that, Serena turned bright red.
"Oh look... Serena and Darien match... they're both bright re....." Jedite started to taunt before Malachite shoved him into the pool. Jedite came sputtering up and decided it wouldn't be in his best interest to get on Malachite's bad side.
"You guys are making fun of me for being naive..." Serena said, starting to cry.
"No we aren't, Serena." Darien said, trying to comfort the golden haired girl.
"Darien... you're so sweet. Why can't you teach your friends how to treat a lady?" Serena said, knowing that would annoy the others.
"HEY NOW!!! I've been nice for awhile." Malachite yelled at Serena.
"Of course you were, Malachite. You're always nice. Zoi, Jed, and Neph, however, are another story." Serena said, looking pointedly at the other three. "Well, in any case, it's getting dark out. We should go back before we get caught in the Deadly Dust of the forest."
"I agree. Last time we stayed out after nightfall, Queen Serenity had to use the crystal to heal us." Nephlyte reminded everyone.
"Okay, then let's go." Darien decided.
With that, everyone grabbed their shirts, put them on, and walked back to the castle, talking, screaming, and laughing all the way.
Serena looked up from her journal of last year's Moonlight Celebration. She couldn't beleive how naive she was, that she didn't know literally how hard of a time she must've been giving Darien. Serena sighed. She was still naive and didn't know as much as most girls her age did, but she was a princess, and princesses weren't supposed to know the ways of the world unil they were married.
'I'm supposed to be naive until I marry. Hah! I'll show them. That dreamboat hunk Darien will teach me a few things, I'm sure. He IS one of my closest, dearest, and best friend. I don't think he'll have a problem with teaching me things like, how to kiss, or other things like that. His friends sure as hell wouldn't. I should introduce the girls to the Zoi, Jed, Neph and Mal. I'm sure they wouldn't mind meeting them... but that would mean I'd lose my bragging rights over getting to hang out with five of the cutest guys in the Silver Millenium... Ah, screw them. I'll keep the guys a secret.' Serena giggled to herself. 'Soon... very soon... in a matter of hours, the guys are coming back. Darien look sexier every time I see him. Last time... oh boy... those broad shoulders, tan skin, muscular physique... I can't beleive I didn't drool over his six pack. And dang... that guy has such great arms... they could be better, but.. well... Oh... he's SOOO dreamy. I wish he were here right now...' Serena said, sighing dreamilly at the thought of sweet Darien, and his statueque body, when she was interupted by the low humming that was very familiar to her.
Serena looked up around her spacious room. She was on her four-poster bed that was covered with lots of white see through fabric. To the left of the bed was the small hallway that contained the door to her restroom, and all her closests. To the right of the bed was the door to her balcony. In front of the bed was the vanity. She looked at the vanity to see the mirror sliding down, sliding down and revealing Darien's face.
"Hey Serena. We came early to suprise you. Come on, let's go." Darien, knowing Serena would know where he would take her.
"Darien... I like your friends and all, but..." Serena hesitated.
"But what, Serena?" questioned Darien.
"But... we've been friends since as long as I can remember. But ever since I was 8, every time I get to talk to you, your friends are around. I never get to do anything with just you, we always have to hang out with Jed, Neph, Zoi, and Mal. There's nothing wrong with that, but..." Serena sighed.
"Oh... I get it... We're friends... I should've thought of it sooner... I'm such an idiot. It's only natural that you'd... Can you ever forgive me for being so ignorant?" pleaded the dark-haired prince.
"Hush up. You're already forgiven. But really, could for once, it just be you and me, and not the whole kit n' kaboodle?" the pretty princess pondered.
"Sure, I guess. But the guys are waiting... can't we..." started Darien.
"No. Last time I tried talking to you about this, that was your excuse. I know it's not nice, but sometimes breaking engagements is acceptable. This is one of those times." Serena said sternly.
"Okay, so what do you want to do?" asked the prince.
"Well... how about talking? It's been a year since we last talked to each other, a couple of years since we've really talked. Come on in and sit down, and let's have a talk. Yes, that's it." Serena decided.
"Sounds like a plan to me." remarked Darien.
The Darien climbed into the room, and the two walked over to her bed.
"Sorry about my lack of furniture, but I really never thought I need chairs in my room. But before we really start, we need our privacy." Serena said, flicking her wrist towards the mirror on her vanity and the door leading out of her room, sending a beam of little specs of color shooting towards the targets. The beam sent towards the mirror created a cage like screen of metal behind the mirror as the mirror slid up to cover the passageway behind it. The beam heading towards the doors created giants bars of steel on them, preventing anyone from getting through them. "There. No disturbances. Unless some unwitting fool is going to risk the spell on my balcony." Serena noticed the look of awe on Darien's face. "Something wrong?"
"Um... Just a little in shock about you using magic." Dariend stammered.
"Oh, yeah. They started training me in it this past year. All Silver Millenium princesses are taught magic, assuming they have magic in their blood. No magic in their blood means that they're magicless. Now come on, let's sit and talk." Serena said, moving the lacey fabric surrounding her bed out of the way so the two could sit down on it. "Darien, that sweater you're wearing looks really hot. You gunna be okay in it?" Serena said, noticing the heavy navy sweater the prince was wearing, and the heavy sweat pants he had on as well. Serena was wearing a light marigold colored satin night gown, and she was hot, so she figured her friend must be rather uncomfortable.
"Yeah... it is getting a bit stuffy in this get-up. You don't mind if I take these off, do you?" Darien asked.
"Not really. It's not like I haven't seen you in your boxer shorts before." grinned Serena, secretely liking the idea of the prince in next to nothing. Darien nodded at her, and pulled off his sweater, and stood up and took off his shoes, socks and sweat pants. When he sat back down on the bed, he was in just a pair of black silk boxers. "Been working out, Darien?" Serena asked, noticing how his arms looked a lot better than they did last time she saw him, and that his six-pack was a bit more defined.
"Oh, yeah... Never expected you to notice those minor details." sheepishly stated Darien.
"Please! I'm a woman, first and formost. Just cause you're my friend doesn't mean I'm not going to notice if a friend of mine has a body to drool for or not." Serena said, noticing the slight blush in Darien's face. "Oh, and sorry about last time by the pool. I was too naive for my own good back then. My friend Mina, the princess of Venus, gave me a few lessons about what effects certain things have on guys. I must've given you one hard time back then." Serena spat out.
"That was... very confusing. I mean, if it were any other girl, I would've probably tried to get all I could out of the situation. But it wasn't. It was you, one of my best friends. You have no idea how shocked I was when you wouldn't let me take my hand off your boob. Then when you started running your hand down my chest... It was one of those times when all you can do is sit there and think to yourself 'Whoa.' The others wouldn't let me forget that day for a couple months afterword. I had a soft thing in my hand, and another soft thing running down my chest... It was the closest thing to heaven I'd ever experianced. Figures it was one of my best friend's that did it to me..." Darien sighed, slightly looking away from Serena.
"Don't be embarrassed, Darien. What'd you mean by 'closest thing to heaven you'd ever experianced'?" Inquired Serena. "I mean, you've probably had your way with alot of women, haven't you?"
"According to my friends I have, but in reality, I'm still a virgin. I haven't had any need to go all the way with anyone. I guess I just haven't met the person that takes my breath away enough to sleep with them." Darien decided. 'Even though I'm pretty sure I'm looking at that person right now.' He added to himself.
"Ah... I'm barely 15. There's no way I'm going to give myself to a man anytime soon. I've never even kissed a man before... Oh Darien, I'm so lucky I have you as a friend. Not only are you sweet and caring and considerate, but your also cute as can be." Serena said, getting up and tackling darien in a hug. "There's at least a million women on the moon alone that would want to be me, just because I get to be lucky enough to be your friend." 'I just wish I could be more than just your friend.'
"Serena... you're a beautiful woman. I'm sure you'll catch the eye of a great guy, and I'm sure he'll make you very happy." Darien stated. 'Just wish I could be that guy. Even though there's kind of a gap in our ages, you're still beautiful...' "AH SHIT!!! MY BACK!"
"Darien, what's wrong????" Serena asked with concern.
"My back, I pulled a muscle in it a couple weeks ago, and it still hurts if I move my back in a certain way. I just wish there was a massage woman here right now... My back feels so much better after a lavender oil massage..." Darien complained.
"You know... I just finished a back massage program where they teach you how to massage backs. I finished top in my class, and I have some lavender oil in my vanity." Serena said, knowing Darien would get the idea.
"You have? You do? Would you please? For me?" Darien pleaded, rubbing his aching back.
"Of course I will. I'm not going to let a friend of mine suffer. Now you just lay down on your stomach, and I'll get the oil." Serena directed, getting up and walking over to the vanity. She looked at the room, and how the crystal chandelier above was lighting the room. After deciding the chandelier wasn't appropriate, she snapped her fingers, making about 30 candles appear in her room. After the candles lit themselves, the chandelier went out. With another snap of her fingers, some gentle relaxing music started to play in the room, with no apparent source of where the music came from. She went into a drawer of her vanity, and took out a case of oils, and walked back over to her bed. After getting back onto it, she started to get out the oil when she noticed Darien's boxers were a little tight, skin tight, in the back. "Did anyone tell you you've got a cute set of buns?" Serena asked, while taking the oil and pouring a little onto her hands, then she started to massage the oil into Darien's muscular back.
"No, actually you're the first one who's gotten a good look at it." Darien said. "Oh god, that feels so good. Aren't you worried the lace on the bed will catch on fire?"
"Not really. Magic flame doesn't give off heat, and doesn't burn anything besides what it was made to burn, in this case the candles. You enjoying this?" Serena asked.
"Oh yes. It's the best massage I've ever had. All the other massage ladies have had too rough or too hard of a touch. But you... you've got such a soft and light touch... It's perfect." Darien moaned.
"You know Darien, I've got a secret I haven't told you... I think you're the cutest guy in the universe... and I think I've fallen for you. You're cute, you're sweet, you're caring, you're practically perfect in every aspect...." Serena said, glad she couldn't look Darien straight in the eye when she told him that.
"Wow... Never knew you felt that way... About me of all people. I'll let you in on a little secret of my own. I'd rather wait till you're old enough to make love, and see if you'd be my first, than have just any other woman, like Zoi, Neph, Mal and Jed do. See, I've had a crush on you for awhile..." Darien answered.
"This has to be a dream... I could've sworn the cutest guy alive just said he liked me..." Serena said, blinking.
"Serena, no joke. I DO like you." Darien reassured his friend. Serena had finished the massage a few minutes ago, and Darien sat up so he could face his friend. "Serena, I'm crazy about you. When I said how you'd meet a really great guy, I was secretely hoping I'd be that guy..."
"I can't beleive you'd..." Serena started, not knowing how to finish. "I know this sounds really stupid, but... Could you show me how to kiss? I don't know how, and I don't want you to kiss me, only to find out I don't know how..." Serena blushed.
"It would be my pleasure, Serena." Darien said. He'd always wondered what her full, mauve colored lips had tasted like, and he was thrilled that now he'd have a chance to taste them.
Darien bent over Serena, and kissed her deeply. He showed Serena a few methods of kissing, and a few different variations of the different menthods. After a couple hours, both of them were tired out from all the kissing.
"So does this mean... we go together now?" questioned Serena.
"If that's alright with you... I want nothing more than for you to be happy." Darien answered.
"Right now, nothing would make me happier than to be your girl. Hang on, I have to change into something else. If I stay in this nightgown, I'll ruin it from the heat and sweat. Justa second." Serena giggled, getting up and walking to her closet, where she grabbed something, then went into her bathroom to change. Darien just layed on Serena's bed, about ready to scream cause he couldn't beleive after all this time, Serena had a thing for him, when he had a thing for her. When Serena emerged from the the bathroom, Darien suddenly found himself short of breath. Serena had indeed gotten our of the nightgown she was in before, and traded it for a lacy black, very revealing camisole. The shoulder straps weren't very thick, so Darien just stared in awe as he took in her fairly well devoloped form. "Do you like it?"
"Serena... I don't think I should... I should go... it's getting late, and someone might catch me in here." Darien said, knowing if he stayed, he might not be able to control himself.
"Darien, I can't stay naive all my life. I'm going to find out all this stuff eventually. It's not like I'm not going to be a virgin in the morning, if that's what you're thinking I want to do..." Serena said, just realizing what Darien was probably thinking.
"Oh... yeah... kinda... male thinking... you in that stunning outfit... whoa..." Darien stammered, hoping what he said wasn't just some gibberish.
"But... In the mean time... We've been friends for awhile... As long as nothing goes on below the waist..." Serena grinned wickedly.
"You mean..." Darien said, hoping she wasn't kidding.
"Oh but of course. Why would I joke about this? I don't think I've ever wanted anything more than I want this." Serena said. Darien didn't know how she did it, but somehow, the straps of the camisole she was wearing had somehow slipped down to the sides of her shoulder. The rest of the camisole had sorta slipped down to the ground not much longer after the straps fell. Darien almost started to drool at the luscious sight of Serena standing before him, in only the matching panties that went with the camisole. "Anything you see can be yours, my love." Serena climbed back into the bed.
"Damn girl, you're absolutely beatiful, and breathtaking. I think I'll take you up on that offer." Darien said, feeling his hands aching to feel her boobs, knowing they'd fill up his large hands rather nicely.
After a couple hours of fun and enjoyment, Darien tried to leave, for fear of someone catching him in bed with the princess.
"Serena, please... I don't want to get in trouble for doing this... Who knows what your mother, the queen, will do if she finds me here." pleaded the scared prince.
"Darien, I was the one that let you have your way with me, well, partially anyhow. And I'm still a virgin. We've been friends for awhile... It's only natural that we'd... you know. I'll deal with mother, just don't leave me." Serena softly said, trying to comfort her prince. "Don't leave me, my prince..."
Those words had an effect on Darien. The fact that she reffered to him as her prince made him a little more reassured. After kissing her once more, he pulled her close to him, and fell asleep with his arms around her.
The next morning, Serena and Darien were awoken to the sound of people thumping on the door. Groggily, Serena sent a bolt of magic to the door, making the door burn the hand of anyone who touched it until she took the spell off it, then returned to sleep. Suddenly the door opened, and in walked Serena's mother, Queen Serenity.
"Serena, Darien has a meeting to go to this morning. It's important." Queen Serenity stated.
"Mother... how did you... does anyone else know?" Serena gulped.
"No. Just me, and I won't tell a soul. Beleive me, I know everything that goes on in the palace. EVERYTHING. I'm not worried about you and Darien. I'm more worried about Mina and Malachite than anyone else. You two I know know that waiting till both you are over 18 is very important. Darien, if you'll take care of my daughter, I have no objections to you courting her." Serenity said, knowing that Darien would feel better knowing he had her permission to be with her daughter.
"Mom... I..." Serena didn't know what else to say.
"Thank you, your royal higness. I feel much better knowing you don't object..." Darien sighed from relief.
"Oh, I figured you would. You and Serena have been the best of friends for the longest time. Me and the other queens of the planets in the solar system had a pool going as to what your ages would be when you two finally became an item. Time to claim my money." The queen giggled, before leaving. "And about that meeting, Darien, I'll tell them you can't make it, and arrange a special little treat for you two tonight at the Moonlight Magic Festival." With that, before the two teens could answer, the queen took leave of the room.
"What do you think your mom meant by that?" Darien asked.
"I think it means we're going to be alone again, tonight, on Mount Paradise." Serena said, grinning evilly.
"What's that?" Darien inquired.
"Oh, it's just this mountain that appears during the festival, and it's the most magical place on the moon kingdom. It's also my mom's test to see how trustworthy a suitor is for a member of the Silver Millenia Royal Court. The two have to spend a night on Mount Paradise naked, and not have sex. If they make it, they'll have my mother's consent to get married. If they don't, they have to wait till next year to try again. I hope we'll make it..." Serena sighed.
"So do I, Serena. So do I." Darien gulped.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. I'm just borrowing the charectors from Takeuchi Naoko/Kodansha's Manga, "Bishouji Senshi Seilaa Muun," or in english, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon.
It was a rather hot and murky day in the Moon Kingdom, and the immature ones of the royal court, Prince Darien of Earth and his four best friends, Malachite, Zoycite, Nephlyte, and Jedite, had all left their fighting lessons early and had decided to skip the rest of the day's training sessions and all the business meeting they should've gone to, to spend the afternoon in the rainforests of the kingdom. So there they walked, over the well-worn, brown dirt paths through the forest that they had walked a thousand times before, under the towering trees that seemed to stretch up so high that they appeared to touch the sky. Even though the whole forest was shaded over by the trees, and provided some coolness from the extreme arid temperatures of the day, it was still rather hot.
"Damn... Even in this forest, it's still so fricking hot." Zoicite complained
"It could be hotter, Zoi." Malachite reminded him. "Remember the time we had to go to Mars? Now THAT was hot."
"Hey... did anyone notice that we've managed to escape the castle without our little ray of sunshine?" Darien asked, suddenly aware that the young princess of the moon, Serena, wasn't tagging along with them.
"You know Serena. She has a knack for knowing when to find us in these woods. She knows them about as well as we do, if not better." Nephlyte stated.
"It's still too hot. Think anyone will see us here, in the forest of the confusing coniferous?" Jedite asked.
"Not really. We're the only ones who dare come in here, as we're the only ones that don't get lost." stated Malachite.
"Well then. I'm taking my shirt off. These training uniforms are very good for training, but very bad at letting the heat out." Jedite said.
The other men agreed, and all took their shirts off, and carried them till they reached their little hideaway. The hideaway was a pool that was surrounded by forest, and was at the base of a waterfall. The water in the pool was always just warm enough to not be cold, and was always a clear crystal blue color. The guys had moved rocks and boulders from the mountain that the water from the falls fell from to make comfortable sitting spots around the pool.

"Told you she'd be along, Darien." Nephlyte stated.
"Yep, you did. Let's see what things she'll do today. I remember when we used to think those things were funny..." Darien said, going off into dreamland for a bit.
"Yeah, but she just turned 14 last month. You turned 18 yesterday. Jed's 21, Neph's 22, Zoi's 23, and I'm 24. There's a big difference in age between... well, most of us. You and her aren't that far apart in age, Darien." Malachite said.
"Yeah well... Don't try hooking me up with her... She's not my type..." Darien said. Despite what he had just told his friends, He'd always had a crush on the young moon princess. By this time, the sound of running feet had stopped, and the five guys noticed Serena was standing atop her rock seat.
"Hiya guys! I tell ya, that secret escape route you put in my room, that exits out of the castle comes in handy. My mother wanted me to go to some boring tea party with all the royal queens of the planets. I've spent enough time at those snooze parties to last a life time." Serena complained. "Besides, why would I want to go to a party when I can come here and spend time with five of the hottest guys in the Silver Millennia?"
"Well, at the least the girl has taste. Too bad you aren't a few years older. Words like that might've gotten you somewhere." Zoicite said, grinning.
"Zoi, want me to tell Clarisse you said that?" Jedite said, knowing Zoicite's current girlfriend wouldn't be too happy if she found out he was flirting with other girls.
"Jed, you do, and I'll introduce you to one of my other friends. Their name is my fist." Zoicite countered.
"You two are worse than me and my friend Raye. Darnit, it's hot. Oh well. I'll just follow the trend." Serena said, taking off her shirt.
"Um... Serena, put your shirt back on." Darien said, getting slightly red at the sight of his friend's breasts.
"What's the problem? It's not like you haven't seen me without my shirt on before."
"Serena, last time we saw you with your shirt off, you didn't have tits." Jedite answered.
"Oh for crying out loud. Just cause I have boobs now, all you guys are telling me I can't have my shirt off. You all are supposed to be my friends!" whined the moon princess. Instictively, Darien put his arm around her to comfort her, but the situation got awkward when Darien found his hand near her boob. "For crying out loud. Just cause I grow boobs, everything's awkward. Time to fix that." Serena boldly stated, moving Darien's hand onto her boob, so that his arm was in position she found most comforting. All the guys snickered at the prediciment Darien was in, as they could cleary see Darien liked it, but he didn't know what to do because it was Serena.
"Should we give him a hand?" Malachite whispered to the Zoicite.
"What? And miss Darien turn bright red? Hell no." answered Zoicite.
"Thought you'd say that." Malachite sighed as he watched Darien's awkward position get even more awkward. Not only was Serena not letting him take his hand away, but now she was leaning on his shoulder and running her hand down his chest. It was clearly obvious to everyone except for Serena that Darien was really liking this.
"Darien, why is there a big bulge in your pants?" Serena asked. She'd had her eyes closed for awhile, and when she opened them and turned her head, she had a clear view or what was going on in Darien's tight dark blue pants.
"Er... um... All this stuff your doing... not letting me move my hand... running your hand down my chest..." Darien started.
"You've been flirting heavilly with him, Serena. You do know what happens when a girl flirts heavilly with a guy, don't you?" Jedite asked.
"Not really..." Serena answered in an embarrassed tone of voice. "I'm a bit more naive than I let on to being..." After saying that, Serena turned bright red.
"Oh look... Serena and Darien match... they're both bright re....." Jedite started to taunt before Malachite shoved him into the pool. Jedite came sputtering up and decided it wouldn't be in his best interest to get on Malachite's bad side.
"You guys are making fun of me for being naive..." Serena said, starting to cry.
"No we aren't, Serena." Darien said, trying to comfort the golden haired girl.
"Darien... you're so sweet. Why can't you teach your friends how to treat a lady?" Serena said, knowing that would annoy the others.
"HEY NOW!!! I've been nice for awhile." Malachite yelled at Serena.
"Of course you were, Malachite. You're always nice. Zoi, Jed, and Neph, however, are another story." Serena said, looking pointedly at the other three. "Well, in any case, it's getting dark out. We should go back before we get caught in the Deadly Dust of the forest."
"I agree. Last time we stayed out after nightfall, Queen Serenity had to use the crystal to heal us." Nephlyte reminded everyone.
"Okay, then let's go." Darien decided.
With that, everyone grabbed their shirts, put them on, and walked back to the castle, talking, screaming, and laughing all the way.
Serena looked up from her journal of last year's Moonlight Celebration. She couldn't beleive how naive she was, that she didn't know literally how hard of a time she must've been giving Darien. Serena sighed. She was still naive and didn't know as much as most girls her age did, but she was a princess, and princesses weren't supposed to know the ways of the world unil they were married.
'I'm supposed to be naive until I marry. Hah! I'll show them. That dreamboat hunk Darien will teach me a few things, I'm sure. He IS one of my closest, dearest, and best friend. I don't think he'll have a problem with teaching me things like, how to kiss, or other things like that. His friends sure as hell wouldn't. I should introduce the girls to the Zoi, Jed, Neph and Mal. I'm sure they wouldn't mind meeting them... but that would mean I'd lose my bragging rights over getting to hang out with five of the cutest guys in the Silver Millenium... Ah, screw them. I'll keep the guys a secret.' Serena giggled to herself. 'Soon... very soon... in a matter of hours, the guys are coming back. Darien look sexier every time I see him. Last time... oh boy... those broad shoulders, tan skin, muscular physique... I can't beleive I didn't drool over his six pack. And dang... that guy has such great arms... they could be better, but.. well... Oh... he's SOOO dreamy. I wish he were here right now...' Serena said, sighing dreamilly at the thought of sweet Darien, and his statueque body, when she was interupted by the low humming that was very familiar to her.
Serena looked up around her spacious room. She was on her four-poster bed that was covered with lots of white see through fabric. To the left of the bed was the small hallway that contained the door to her restroom, and all her closests. To the right of the bed was the door to her balcony. In front of the bed was the vanity. She looked at the vanity to see the mirror sliding down, sliding down and revealing Darien's face.
"Hey Serena. We came early to suprise you. Come on, let's go." Darien, knowing Serena would know where he would take her.
"Darien... I like your friends and all, but..." Serena hesitated.
"But what, Serena?" questioned Darien.
"But... we've been friends since as long as I can remember. But ever since I was 8, every time I get to talk to you, your friends are around. I never get to do anything with just you, we always have to hang out with Jed, Neph, Zoi, and Mal. There's nothing wrong with that, but..." Serena sighed.
"Oh... I get it... We're friends... I should've thought of it sooner... I'm such an idiot. It's only natural that you'd... Can you ever forgive me for being so ignorant?" pleaded the dark-haired prince.
"Hush up. You're already forgiven. But really, could for once, it just be you and me, and not the whole kit n' kaboodle?" the pretty princess pondered.
"Sure, I guess. But the guys are waiting... can't we..." started Darien.
"No. Last time I tried talking to you about this, that was your excuse. I know it's not nice, but sometimes breaking engagements is acceptable. This is one of those times." Serena said sternly.
"Okay, so what do you want to do?" asked the prince.
"Well... how about talking? It's been a year since we last talked to each other, a couple of years since we've really talked. Come on in and sit down, and let's have a talk. Yes, that's it." Serena decided.
"Sounds like a plan to me." remarked Darien.
The Darien climbed into the room, and the two walked over to her bed.
"Sorry about my lack of furniture, but I really never thought I need chairs in my room. But before we really start, we need our privacy." Serena said, flicking her wrist towards the mirror on her vanity and the door leading out of her room, sending a beam of little specs of color shooting towards the targets. The beam sent towards the mirror created a cage like screen of metal behind the mirror as the mirror slid up to cover the passageway behind it. The beam heading towards the doors created giants bars of steel on them, preventing anyone from getting through them. "There. No disturbances. Unless some unwitting fool is going to risk the spell on my balcony." Serena noticed the look of awe on Darien's face. "Something wrong?"
"Um... Just a little in shock about you using magic." Dariend stammered.
"Oh, yeah. They started training me in it this past year. All Silver Millenium princesses are taught magic, assuming they have magic in their blood. No magic in their blood means that they're magicless. Now come on, let's sit and talk." Serena said, moving the lacey fabric surrounding her bed out of the way so the two could sit down on it. "Darien, that sweater you're wearing looks really hot. You gunna be okay in it?" Serena said, noticing the heavy navy sweater the prince was wearing, and the heavy sweat pants he had on as well. Serena was wearing a light marigold colored satin night gown, and she was hot, so she figured her friend must be rather uncomfortable.
"Yeah... it is getting a bit stuffy in this get-up. You don't mind if I take these off, do you?" Darien asked.
"Not really. It's not like I haven't seen you in your boxer shorts before." grinned Serena, secretely liking the idea of the prince in next to nothing. Darien nodded at her, and pulled off his sweater, and stood up and took off his shoes, socks and sweat pants. When he sat back down on the bed, he was in just a pair of black silk boxers. "Been working out, Darien?" Serena asked, noticing how his arms looked a lot better than they did last time she saw him, and that his six-pack was a bit more defined.
"Oh, yeah... Never expected you to notice those minor details." sheepishly stated Darien.
"Please! I'm a woman, first and formost. Just cause you're my friend doesn't mean I'm not going to notice if a friend of mine has a body to drool for or not." Serena said, noticing the slight blush in Darien's face. "Oh, and sorry about last time by the pool. I was too naive for my own good back then. My friend Mina, the princess of Venus, gave me a few lessons about what effects certain things have on guys. I must've given you one hard time back then." Serena spat out.
"That was... very confusing. I mean, if it were any other girl, I would've probably tried to get all I could out of the situation. But it wasn't. It was you, one of my best friends. You have no idea how shocked I was when you wouldn't let me take my hand off your boob. Then when you started running your hand down my chest... It was one of those times when all you can do is sit there and think to yourself 'Whoa.' The others wouldn't let me forget that day for a couple months afterword. I had a soft thing in my hand, and another soft thing running down my chest... It was the closest thing to heaven I'd ever experianced. Figures it was one of my best friend's that did it to me..." Darien sighed, slightly looking away from Serena.
"Don't be embarrassed, Darien. What'd you mean by 'closest thing to heaven you'd ever experianced'?" Inquired Serena. "I mean, you've probably had your way with alot of women, haven't you?"
"According to my friends I have, but in reality, I'm still a virgin. I haven't had any need to go all the way with anyone. I guess I just haven't met the person that takes my breath away enough to sleep with them." Darien decided. 'Even though I'm pretty sure I'm looking at that person right now.' He added to himself.
"Ah... I'm barely 15. There's no way I'm going to give myself to a man anytime soon. I've never even kissed a man before... Oh Darien, I'm so lucky I have you as a friend. Not only are you sweet and caring and considerate, but your also cute as can be." Serena said, getting up and tackling darien in a hug. "There's at least a million women on the moon alone that would want to be me, just because I get to be lucky enough to be your friend." 'I just wish I could be more than just your friend.'
"Serena... you're a beautiful woman. I'm sure you'll catch the eye of a great guy, and I'm sure he'll make you very happy." Darien stated. 'Just wish I could be that guy. Even though there's kind of a gap in our ages, you're still beautiful...' "AH SHIT!!! MY BACK!"
"Darien, what's wrong????" Serena asked with concern.
"My back, I pulled a muscle in it a couple weeks ago, and it still hurts if I move my back in a certain way. I just wish there was a massage woman here right now... My back feels so much better after a lavender oil massage..." Darien complained.
"You know... I just finished a back massage program where they teach you how to massage backs. I finished top in my class, and I have some lavender oil in my vanity." Serena said, knowing Darien would get the idea.
"You have? You do? Would you please? For me?" Darien pleaded, rubbing his aching back.
"Of course I will. I'm not going to let a friend of mine suffer. Now you just lay down on your stomach, and I'll get the oil." Serena directed, getting up and walking over to the vanity. She looked at the room, and how the crystal chandelier above was lighting the room. After deciding the chandelier wasn't appropriate, she snapped her fingers, making about 30 candles appear in her room. After the candles lit themselves, the chandelier went out. With another snap of her fingers, some gentle relaxing music started to play in the room, with no apparent source of where the music came from. She went into a drawer of her vanity, and took out a case of oils, and walked back over to her bed. After getting back onto it, she started to get out the oil when she noticed Darien's boxers were a little tight, skin tight, in the back. "Did anyone tell you you've got a cute set of buns?" Serena asked, while taking the oil and pouring a little onto her hands, then she started to massage the oil into Darien's muscular back.
"No, actually you're the first one who's gotten a good look at it." Darien said. "Oh god, that feels so good. Aren't you worried the lace on the bed will catch on fire?"
"Not really. Magic flame doesn't give off heat, and doesn't burn anything besides what it was made to burn, in this case the candles. You enjoying this?" Serena asked.
"Oh yes. It's the best massage I've ever had. All the other massage ladies have had too rough or too hard of a touch. But you... you've got such a soft and light touch... It's perfect." Darien moaned.
"You know Darien, I've got a secret I haven't told you... I think you're the cutest guy in the universe... and I think I've fallen for you. You're cute, you're sweet, you're caring, you're practically perfect in every aspect...." Serena said, glad she couldn't look Darien straight in the eye when she told him that.
"Wow... Never knew you felt that way... About me of all people. I'll let you in on a little secret of my own. I'd rather wait till you're old enough to make love, and see if you'd be my first, than have just any other woman, like Zoi, Neph, Mal and Jed do. See, I've had a crush on you for awhile..." Darien answered.
"This has to be a dream... I could've sworn the cutest guy alive just said he liked me..." Serena said, blinking.
"Serena, no joke. I DO like you." Darien reassured his friend. Serena had finished the massage a few minutes ago, and Darien sat up so he could face his friend. "Serena, I'm crazy about you. When I said how you'd meet a really great guy, I was secretely hoping I'd be that guy..."
"I can't beleive you'd..." Serena started, not knowing how to finish. "I know this sounds really stupid, but... Could you show me how to kiss? I don't know how, and I don't want you to kiss me, only to find out I don't know how..." Serena blushed.
"It would be my pleasure, Serena." Darien said. He'd always wondered what her full, mauve colored lips had tasted like, and he was thrilled that now he'd have a chance to taste them.
Darien bent over Serena, and kissed her deeply. He showed Serena a few methods of kissing, and a few different variations of the different menthods. After a couple hours, both of them were tired out from all the kissing.
"So does this mean... we go together now?" questioned Serena.
"If that's alright with you... I want nothing more than for you to be happy." Darien answered.
"Right now, nothing would make me happier than to be your girl. Hang on, I have to change into something else. If I stay in this nightgown, I'll ruin it from the heat and sweat. Justa second." Serena giggled, getting up and walking to her closet, where she grabbed something, then went into her bathroom to change. Darien just layed on Serena's bed, about ready to scream cause he couldn't beleive after all this time, Serena had a thing for him, when he had a thing for her. When Serena emerged from the the bathroom, Darien suddenly found himself short of breath. Serena had indeed gotten our of the nightgown she was in before, and traded it for a lacy black, very revealing camisole. The shoulder straps weren't very thick, so Darien just stared in awe as he took in her fairly well devoloped form. "Do you like it?"
"Serena... I don't think I should... I should go... it's getting late, and someone might catch me in here." Darien said, knowing if he stayed, he might not be able to control himself.
"Darien, I can't stay naive all my life. I'm going to find out all this stuff eventually. It's not like I'm not going to be a virgin in the morning, if that's what you're thinking I want to do..." Serena said, just realizing what Darien was probably thinking.
"Oh... yeah... kinda... male thinking... you in that stunning outfit... whoa..." Darien stammered, hoping what he said wasn't just some gibberish.
"But... In the mean time... We've been friends for awhile... As long as nothing goes on below the waist..." Serena grinned wickedly.
"You mean..." Darien said, hoping she wasn't kidding.
"Oh but of course. Why would I joke about this? I don't think I've ever wanted anything more than I want this." Serena said. Darien didn't know how she did it, but somehow, the straps of the camisole she was wearing had somehow slipped down to the sides of her shoulder. The rest of the camisole had sorta slipped down to the ground not much longer after the straps fell. Darien almost started to drool at the luscious sight of Serena standing before him, in only the matching panties that went with the camisole. "Anything you see can be yours, my love." Serena climbed back into the bed.
"Damn girl, you're absolutely beatiful, and breathtaking. I think I'll take you up on that offer." Darien said, feeling his hands aching to feel her boobs, knowing they'd fill up his large hands rather nicely.
After a couple hours of fun and enjoyment, Darien tried to leave, for fear of someone catching him in bed with the princess.
"Serena, please... I don't want to get in trouble for doing this... Who knows what your mother, the queen, will do if she finds me here." pleaded the scared prince.
"Darien, I was the one that let you have your way with me, well, partially anyhow. And I'm still a virgin. We've been friends for awhile... It's only natural that we'd... you know. I'll deal with mother, just don't leave me." Serena softly said, trying to comfort her prince. "Don't leave me, my prince..."
Those words had an effect on Darien. The fact that she reffered to him as her prince made him a little more reassured. After kissing her once more, he pulled her close to him, and fell asleep with his arms around her.
The next morning, Serena and Darien were awoken to the sound of people thumping on the door. Groggily, Serena sent a bolt of magic to the door, making the door burn the hand of anyone who touched it until she took the spell off it, then returned to sleep. Suddenly the door opened, and in walked Serena's mother, Queen Serenity.
"Serena, Darien has a meeting to go to this morning. It's important." Queen Serenity stated.
"Mother... how did you... does anyone else know?" Serena gulped.
"No. Just me, and I won't tell a soul. Beleive me, I know everything that goes on in the palace. EVERYTHING. I'm not worried about you and Darien. I'm more worried about Mina and Malachite than anyone else. You two I know know that waiting till both you are over 18 is very important. Darien, if you'll take care of my daughter, I have no objections to you courting her." Serenity said, knowing that Darien would feel better knowing he had her permission to be with her daughter.
"Mom... I..." Serena didn't know what else to say.
"Thank you, your royal higness. I feel much better knowing you don't object..." Darien sighed from relief.
"Oh, I figured you would. You and Serena have been the best of friends for the longest time. Me and the other queens of the planets in the solar system had a pool going as to what your ages would be when you two finally became an item. Time to claim my money." The queen giggled, before leaving. "And about that meeting, Darien, I'll tell them you can't make it, and arrange a special little treat for you two tonight at the Moonlight Magic Festival." With that, before the two teens could answer, the queen took leave of the room.
"What do you think your mom meant by that?" Darien asked.
"I think it means we're going to be alone again, tonight, on Mount Paradise." Serena said, grinning evilly.
"What's that?" Darien inquired.
"Oh, it's just this mountain that appears during the festival, and it's the most magical place on the moon kingdom. It's also my mom's test to see how trustworthy a suitor is for a member of the Silver Millenia Royal Court. The two have to spend a night on Mount Paradise naked, and not have sex. If they make it, they'll have my mother's consent to get married. If they don't, they have to wait till next year to try again. I hope we'll make it..." Serena sighed.
"So do I, Serena. So do I." Darien gulped.
