In March, Serena and Darien flew out to Califorina to shoot her video for her first single 'What Took You So Long?'. The storyline was
about a girl waiting for the guy she liked to tell her how he felt for her. It was set in the same desert where the Spice Girl's
shot the video for 'Say You'll Be There'.
The video took to days to shoot, and Darien made a special apperence as the guy that "took so long" and then leaves him.

The last night, at the seasons hotel, they sat around the TV in robes, drinking italen sodas and eating chicken and chocolate
yougurts. Then there was a knock at the door. It was the video director.
"Here It is!" he said, holding up the tape.
"Darien! Put it in!" Serena said, with a big smile on her face. He put it in, and turned down the lights. the 3 of them watched
it.

After the video was done, they were all clapping.
"Another brillent performace, by miss Serena Tsukino." the director said.
"hehe. Thank-you, Thank-you. But, that'll soon be Mrs. Serena Sheilds." Serena said, winking at Darien.
"Well, I must get back. I'll get in touch with you when the video airing is." the director said,
"Okay, goodbye. And thanks for everything." Serena said, giving him a hug.
"Your a peach, Serena. Darien, don't loose this one." he said, before leaving.
"I don't intend too." Darien said, walking over to Serena, kissing her.

In April, 'What Took You So Long' got to #1 in the UK and in Japan. Serena did a lot of promotional work, taking Darien along
for the ride. She tried to stay in Tokyo most of the time. But sooner or later, the world needed her, and the Spice Girls. The
new single is 'Tell Me Why'. It had a around the world feel, with each of the girls playing a wildlife chick. Mel B. was in
Africa, Serena was in an Oasis in Hawaii, Mel C. was in a tropical rainforest in Australia, and Victoria was on a deserted
island somewear in the Brumuda Triangle. The single got to #1.

"Darien, where are you taking me?" Serena asked, blindfoled in Dariens corvete. It was Serena's 19th birthday.
"We'll be there in a few minutes." Darien said. 10 mins later, the car stopped, Darien got out and opened Serena's door, then
went over to Serena's door, opened it, picked her up, and ran up some stairs. He then put her down, and pulled out a key,
unlocked the door, then lead her in. He then turned on the lights.
"Okay, you can take th blind off." he said. She did.
"Darien, where are we?" she asked, in the empty apartment.
"We are down by the docks, in a condiminium. In our new home. If you want to move in with me, that is?" Darien asked. A big
smile apperred on Serena's face.
"Yes! YES! YES!" Serena said, hugging Darien.
"Happy Birthday, Seren." Darien said, kissing her.

The next 2 weeks were really busy. Serena and Darien moved into the apartment, then the Spice Girls had more promotion's. Then
Serena and Darien flew to Sardinia, Itay for Serena's newest video shoot 'Take My Breath Away'. It was about how a girl thinks
this guy is the world, and how she was scared to tell him, but now she's not afriad. The video was shot on the beach in
Sardinia. The single got to #3 in England, and #1 in Japan. Her album got to #4 in England and #2 in Japan.

After Tell Me Why, the Spice Girls all took a break from the Spice Girls to work on there solo careers. But, they would
still visit each other and keep in touch all the could. Maybe a Spice Tour was in the works.

"Darien, I think I want 'Were Not Gunna Sleep Tonight' to be the next single." Serena said, sitting in bed with Darien, who
was reading a book.
"Well, tell Virgin that." Darien said, putting down his book, and kissing Serena's neck. Serena giggled as they both went
under the covers.

"Darien, should I go and talk to her?" Serena asked, refering to Geri. They were both performing at Party In the Park in London.
A special concert event.
"It might be a good idea." Darien said, rubbing her back.
"I think I will. I'll be back." Serena said, walking out of her dressing room, to Geri's. She knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Geri said.
"It's me, Geri, Serena." Geri rushed to the door.
"Serena! Oh Serena!" Geri said, hugging her. It was a very tearful moment for both of them.
"Geri! I've missed you so much." Serena said, walking into Geri's room.
"I've missed you too, babe." Geri said.
"Congradulations on your album and single success." Geri said.
"You too." Serena said, sitting down on the couch.
"How's everything with the girls?" Geri asked.
"Oh, okay. Brooklyn and Pheonix are angels. You'd love them." Serena said. Geri smiled.
"So how have you been." Serena said.
"Oh, I've been good. Upset about the whole Robbie and George thing though." Geri said. "How have you been?"
"Great. I'm living with Darien now, and were planning the wedding in December. We don't know where yet, or who's all invited." Serena said.
Someone knocked at the door.
"Your On, Miss Halliwell." the stage director said.
"Okay," Geri said, turning to Serena. "Lets get together after the show, okay?"
"Okay." Serena said, getting up to leave, she opened the door, then Geri called her name.
"Serena," Serena stopped. "It was really nice to see you again." Serena smiled.
"You too, Geri." Serena said, leaving.
