After the hugs had been exchanged Serena immediately beamed at Jamison and crossed over to her. "Am ..good to see you again...so I take it you've got yet another assignment for me huh?" Amy's bright blue eyes sparkled with amusement when she looked into Serena's face. "you know me to well Serena but we'll discuss it after you to talk. Now I think you had better go say hi to Seiya before he feels to neglected" giggling softly Serena turned to Seiya and hugged him "oh Seiya get the puppy dog look off of your f ace I haven't forgotten you. " tugging teasingly on the end of Serena's hair Seiya did the forbidden and tickled Serena's side., then found himself flipped over on his stomach with his right arm twisted behind him and a beaming Serena over him. Seiya grunted as she let him up "well that's the last time I try to make u laugh" rubbing his sore arm he looked at Serena only to see her focused on Darien in front of her. "OK then hey um jamison ..why don't you come show me that ...thing that you just had brought in..yea". Amy looked at Seiya slightly confused then suddenly her eyes lighted up slightly and she nodded quickly after seeing the look Darien was giving to Serena "ill show it to you..um bye Serena, nice to see you again Darien" exiting quickly Amy shut the door behind herself and Seiya. Darien and Serena hardly noticed. Serena was the first to break the look and sat down on the fluffy couch and Darien took the chair directly across from her.

Serena gave a slightly bumpy beginning to a conversation " so um Darien how have you been?"
Darien answered politely "i'v been alright..just missed a couple things ya know? But I guess we cant have everything right?" nodding her agreement Darien asked the next question.
"but what about you? Does the social princess still rule her kingdom well?"
laughing at the metaphor "yes Darien I'm fine, just been.."busy" lately thanks to Samisen." Serena added silently to herself 'just wish I had a prince to rule with me'

three hours later Serena now had her shoes off and was hugging one of the couch pillows to her, a glass of chocolate milk sat on the table next to her and she munched on a chocolate chip cookie listening while Darien told her stories of what's gone on in the last four years. Darien himself had taken off his over shirt and it was now flung over the back of the chair. Hair slightly mussed but a happy smile lit up his features as they exchanged stories.

Finally another hour later a knock sounded at the door just before it opened and Amy followed by Seiya walked in.

"I'm really sorry to interrupt but its time we talked about your next assignment Serena"
disappointed and confused at the break and as to why Jamison would think about telling her this while Darien was there had her very alarmed and it showed in her eyes. So she voiced her concern

"Jamison...don't you think we should talk about this Later" letting some force be put into "later"
"not at all Serena, seeing as how for this mission he's gonna be your partner"
