Mrs. Tsukino stopped what she was doing at the moment she heard the front door slam. She wiped her hands on the cloth nearby and exited the kitchen just as another door was being slammed. 'Something happened.' She slowly walked up the steps with worry etched into her face.

"Serena? Are you all right? Did Darien do something wrong?" All she could hear were sobs coming from the other end of the door. "Serena, I'm coming in." She twisted the handle and pushed the door open. "Honey, what's wrong?" No response. "Serena?"

"Oh mom!" Serena flung herself into her mother's arms. "He's with another woman! I saw her! She kissed him!" Serena cried into her mother's shoulder as her mom slowly stroked her hair.

"Are you sure Serena? I mean he IS in love with you." She tried to find anyway around what Serena was telling her. Tried to find SOME way to convince Serena and herself that this news was false. But there was no way, not when there was proof of Darien's interest in another girl. Serena had loved Darien to death and beyond. 'Hadn't he realized this? Didn't he know Serena would throw away everything just to be with him?' Obviously not. She was speechless. How she wished that these two were not a perfect match. If it was just a crush she could easily fix the problem with some cheesecake or chocolate or shopping even, but not this time. She slowly rocked Serena back and forth until she had fallen asleep.

He slowly gulped down the third glass of wine as he told his friend how much he loved Serena.

"I'd do anything for her. I'd go to the end of the earth and back. I'd go down to hell and back for her. I...I'd...I WANT HER BACK!" He burst into tears for the second time that night. Terra got out of the chair across the table and went to him.

"Darien, if you want her back so badly, go after her! Explain to her what happened! You shouldn't be telling me how much you love her, cause then she'll never hear it! Go Darien!" He looked at her for a few moments before nodding his head.

"Thank you Terra, for being a great friend." He hugged her tightly then got up and went to his car. He was going to set things right, and he was going to do it tonight.

**********

She twisted around as she heard the doorbell ring. 'Hasn't he done enough damage for one night?' She looked down at her sleeping daughter then got up to answer the door.

**********

Serena slowly woke up at the sound of a doorbell ringing and someone answering the door. Slowly she stood and opened her bedroom door slightly.

"Look Darien, I don't care IF you HAVE to speak with Serena, I don't want you to talk to her! Just stay away from her, or I'll get my husband in here!"

"But Mrs. Tsukino..."

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! Listen, up there my daughter as cried her eyes out...and why I ask you? Because the man she truly cared about was kissing another girl!"

"But that girl was my..."

"NO MORE!"

Serena jumped back as she heard the door slam. She turned and walked back to her window and looked out at the starry night. 'Why did he do this to me?' She looked at the moon for the answers she would never find.

**********

'I'm going to talk to her!' A flash of light and some pretty colors surrounded him and then vanished leaving Tuxedo Mask. He looked up at her window where he could see her. She looked heartbroken, and it was all his fault! He needed to talk to her. Looking around he spotted a branch close to Serena's bedroom window.

**********

"Darien..." Sighing her eyes dropped from the moon in the sky to her reflection in the window. "DARIEN!" She looked intently at the white mask that hid his beautiful blue eyes, but caught herself and turned around quickly forgetting that the window was unlocked. She began to walk to the door when she heard the familiar squeak she would always hear when she opened her window. Knowing who would be there and not exactly wanting to see him, she turned around as slowly as possible.

"What are you doing? This is breaking and entering! Get out or I'll...I'll call the police!" She reached out to the phone when a red rose streaked through the air, just barely missing her hand. "Fine, if you're going to be like that...Moth-mmmmm"

"Serena, I hate having to cover your mouth like this, but I need to talk to you. If I uncover your mouth, do you promise not to scream out?" She didn't move. He took this as a yes and slowly took his hand from her mouth. "Serena...that girl...she was just a..."

"Get out."

"What? Serena I told you I needed to talk to..."

"GET OUT DARIEN CHIBA!" He looked at her as the tears threatened to spill.

"Serena? Are you ok in there?" He looked at the door, and then back at Serena, and within a couple of seconds flew out the window and ran home.

"Darien..." She slowly turned back to her bed and cried herself to sleep again.
