On the walk home after the battle she heard a low rumbling noise behind her. It started to get louder and louder so she turned around to see what could be making that irritating noise. A motorcycle was headed strait for her. As it got closer she could tell it was Darien on it. He pulled up beside her and stopped.

"Hi Meatball Head!" he said cheerfully. "What are you doing walking around out here at this time of night? Don't you know it's" he paused while he checked his watch. "11:20?"

"Yeah I know."

"So why are you out so late at night? Don't you have a curfew?"

"I was just...uh...um...going to see some friends. And, no. I don't have a curfew. Just as long as I wake up eventually."

"Oh." he said.

"Well, what are YOU doing out this time of night?" she enquired.

"Just going to...um...ah...getting a mocha latte."

"Coffee shops are opened this late?"

"Yeah. There's one on Crossroads that doesn't close until midnight.

Here! Hop on. I'll take you home. It'll be faster."

"Uh...Darien?"

"Huh?"

"I...uh...well...e-" he cut her off.

"You're intimidated by my motorcycle, aren't you?" he asked with a smile.

"Uh... yeah."

"Don't worry about it! It's safe. You just have to make sure you hold on."

She hopped up on his bike behind him. "Hey...I told you. You have to hold on."

She looked around her. "Uh... there's nothing to hold onto. No handlebars, grips, nothing."

He laughed. "Serena. You have to hold onto me."

Serena blushed like crazy and was so glad he couldn't turn around to see.As they started to go she wanted scream. She was just a little tiny bit scared. After a few minutes she was loving it. Or him.

NO! What was she thinking?

'Serena,' part of her said, 'You know you like him. A LOT!'

The other part said, 'Do Not! Do Not! Do NOT! Well...maybe just a teeny bit.'

"HA!" she said out loud. She wanted to slap herself. 'DUH SERENA! You can like him to your self all you want! Just don't say it out loud'

When she got to her house she didn't want to get off. As they started to slow down she said, "Darien. I LOVE THIS THING!!"

"I knew you would once you got over the initial shock. HEY! I have an idea. I'll pick you up from school tomorrow. If you want me to?"

"Yeah! Sure! That'd be great! Thanks for the ride home!" she called as he started to ride away. She sighed as she unlocked her front door.

She walked in her room and saw her mother had washed Tuxedo Mask's stuff. She was putting them up when she dropped the shirt. She picked it up and couldn't help but notice the tag. Written on it in black marker were the letters "D.S"

As she was drifting off to sleep she wondered, 'Could Darien possibly be Tuxedo Mask?'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The entire next day she was practically jumping up and down for 3:00 to come.

"Sere! You O.K.?" asked Mina, staring at her during 7th period.

"Yeah I'm fine why you ask?!" Serena said very quickly. That was when Mina knew something was up.

"Serena. Why are you so jumpy today? You have been checking the clock every 5 minutes! What's u-"

"MINA! SERENA! Would you like to finish your little conversation in detention?" asked old Mrs.Linardo. Everyone called her "Linardo the Retardo." Not to her face of course.

"No Ma'am!" said Serena just a little too loudly and quickly agian. The Retardo just looked at her like she'd gone insane.

BRING!!!!!!!!!!!

"AH!" screamed Serena as she jumped out of her seat and raced to the door. Raye and Lita just looked at each other like, "Here we go again."

On they're way out of school Mina was telling Raye, Amy, and Lita about Serena. "Yeah I know! I saw her acting weirder than usual today." said Raye.

"*GASP!*" They ducked behind a corner then peeked around it. There they saw Serena on a MOTORCYCLE with...DARIEN SHIELDS?

After they had ridden away Lita stood up and looked at the group. "O.K. That's it. Serena's lossed all of her marbles." The other girls nodded in agreement.Even AMY!

Serena and Darien were sitting at the coffee shop. Darien had ordered just plain black coffee and after explaining to Serena that mocha latte is chocolate coffee, she ordered some of that. When they got their orders Serena's had whipped creme on top. And a cherry! 'HOW CUTE!' she thought. Then remembered that on the discriptions on the menu her's wasn't supposed to have whipped creme and a cherry.

"Darien? They put whipped creme...and a cherry on it! They weren't supposed to do that!"

"Yeah I know. I saw you order an ice creme sunday once with extra whipped creme and cherries. I got them to put it on there."

"Darien you didn't have to do that. In fact! You didn't have to pay for it either! I would have gotten them! I feel bad. Mine cost 5 dollars!"

"Don't worry about it Sere! It's the least I can do for getting you mad and calling you meatball head all the time."

"Thanks."

Then she remembered the shirt. "Uh...Darien? There's something I need to...ask you."

"What is it Serena?"

"Um... have you ever...heard of a guy named...Tuxedo Mask?"

He almost fell out of his chair. He quickly recovered and said, "Yeah. He was in the papers once wasn't he?"

Serena's face fell. She knew it was too much to ask for Darien to be Tuxedo Mask. For Tuxedo Mask to be Darien.

"Why?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"Oh! I got that yearbook you wanted." he said as he handed it to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The battle that night wasn't very bad. Tuxedo Mask never showed up though. Or so she thought.

He was there. Watching Sailor Moon. He didn't know why but... he felt like there was some sort of connection between her and Serena. He followed Sailor Moon on her walk home. He stayed a good 3 buildings away from her at all times. At the least. Most of the time it was 5. He saw her look around then duck in between two buildings. He watched intently. When she came out he nearly screamed. SERENA! Serena was Sailor Moon! Sailor Moon was Serena! He wanted to scream for joy.

He ran towards her. "SERENA!" he called out. She looked over her shoulder.

WAIT! HOW DID TUXEDO MASK KNOW SERENA?! HE ONLY KNEW SAILOR MOON!

"Serena! I guess...you've figured it out by now, huh?"

"Figured what out?"

She didn't know?

"Who I am?"

"No."

"Serena...I'm...I'm... You seriously don't know who I am?!"

"No."

He took his mask off. Serena nearly fell over. "DARIEN?!"

"Yeah. I thought you'd figured me out today at the coffee shop."

"Well I suspected but wasn't completely sure. I guessed because your initials were in your sweat shirt. And the sweatshirt said Azabu High Class of 2002 on the back. That was why I really wanted a yearbook. WAIT! Do...you...know...who..."

"What? Know that you're Sailor Moon?"

"Yeah. How'd you know?"

"I saw you go behind that building as Sailor Moon and come out Serena."

He leaned over and softly grazed her lips with his. The rest of the scouts were looking around from the corner. Again.

"Scouts." started Lita.

The rest finished for her at the same time, "LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT TROUBLE!"
