(AN: I don't own Sailor Moon, so please don't sue me. This next chapter takes place after Serena finds out what Darien and Andrew were talking about.)



When Darien turned around to look at Serena, she did the only thing she could. She ran! She flew out the arcade and down the street with one place in mind. 'The park.' When she got there she collapsed on the ground by the lake.

Darien saw Serena run, and turned to look at Andrew who said, "Go after her man." That was all the encouragement Darien needed. The girls all saw Serena rush out of the arcade and were about to go after her when Darien rushed after. Andrew walked by the table and explained everything to them.

Serena was facing the lake when he got there. But she heard his footsteps behind her. She stayed turned around. Darien walked right up to her and sat down beside her. She turned to look at him, wonderment written all over her face, but she tried to hide it.

"Was it true what Andy said back there?" She asked him.

"Yeah, I do like you, a lot." He confessed.

She looked at him wide-eyed, not fully comprehending what he just said. Then she asked why. "Because ever since you threw that test paper at me, I couldn't get you out of my mind. Everywhere I went, I always thought of you." He answered softly.

She looked up into his eyes and saw what was really in them. He was telling the truth. She couldn't believe it. "Do you really mean it, Darien?" She asked hoping he did.

"Yes, Serena, I really do." He said as he leaned in and kissed her. When his lips touched hers, she didn't know how to react. She stiffened a bit. Then she started to relax, and return the kiss. When he felt her relax, he opened his mouth a bit and let his tongue roam around. He caressed the bottom of her lip with his tongue. As if sensing what he wanted, she opened her mouth to him.

Sparks were going off everywhere. The kiss started to get very heated. They got closer and closer to each other until a needle couldn't even fit. Darien's hands started to move around her body. When he heard her moan, he broke the kiss very quickly.

She looked at him strangely. "I'm sorry, Serena. I shouldn't have kissed you." He told her. "Why, Darien? I liked it. Why did you stop?" She asked him, hurt noticeable in her voice. He looked at her, as if not believing what he just heard. He looked into her eyes, and they told him her feelings were the same. He couldn't stand looking at her eyes, with such hurt in them.

So he bent down and kissed her again. Long and hard. It was very passionate. Had a stranger not walked by and interrupted them, its no telling how far it would have gotten. But there was one thing bugging Serena. After the kiss was broken off, she asked, "What about all those times we had fights? Why didn't you just tell me? Why did you make fun of me and insult me?" (AN: here is the line we should all know by heart.) "Because that's the only way I could talk to you. When I first saw you, I liked you at that minute. I had no idea what to say to you. So I said the first thing that came out of my mouth. And I have regretted it ever since. Because I made you mad. And I figured you would never like me anyway. So I insulted you. It was the only way I could get us to keep talking. Whenever you were walking or running down the street, I used to plan what I was going to do. But then we just kept bumping into each other and it just went on from there." He told her, looking away the entire time. Not wanting to see her face.

What happened next was not what he expected. (AN: what do you think will happen? Is she going to kiss him or slap him? theme to jeopardy comes on...ok I'll tell you) She moved from her position, so she could be in front of him. He looked up at her, searching her eyes for anything. But before he could actually look, she leaned into him and kissed him.

He picked her up, (AN: which must have been pretty hard since he was sitting) and sat her in his lap. They continued to kiss for a very long time. Roaming each other's bodies. Kissing for 5 minutes straight. You know the routine. (AN: well some of you do) They stayed like that until dark. That when Serena realized she had to be home for dinner.

Since Darien brought his car, he offered her a ride. The ride in the car was silent. Both smiling from what had happened in the park. When arrived at her house, neither wanted the other to leave. Serena leaned over and gave Darien a kiss.

Before it could go anywhere, a man came out of the house yelling like a maniac. Serena quickly broke the kiss. "Go now, or he will kill you." She told him. He wouldn't really kill Darien but he would do worse things. He knew what she meant and, after she got out, left. But not without waving to her.

"Young lady, where in God's name have you been? And what were you doing with him?" Her father bombarded her with questions. Luckily her mother came to her rescue and told Ken (AN: Serena's father for those of you who don't know) to leave her alone. But from Serena's point-of-view, her mother not only told him, but also yelled it at him.

Serena started to go to her room, when her mom stopped her. "I'll be up in a minute to discuss this." She said. Serena groaned and trudged upstairs to her room. Fiver minutes later, there was a knock at her door. She yelled for whoever it was to come in. After she said that her mother came in.

"So..I want you to give me all the details, or as much as you want." Her mother told her bubbly. Her mother was smiling brightly. And Serena couldn't help but laugh. She thought her mom was mad at her. So, Serena told her mom everything that happened that day.

"Now this Darien, he is the one who always called you 'Meatball Head', and made you come home in tears, right?" Her mother asked. "Yes, it is." She answered. "Don't him get anyway. If he really meant all the things he said to you, then you should hold on to him as long as you can." After that, her mother hugged her and told her to go to bed. They had been up most the night talking about her and Darien.

When her mother left, she got into bed and pulled out her diary. (AN: most people have diaries, mostly girls. Why can't she?) and started to write about the events of that day and about Darien.

She went to sleep that night dreaming of Darien and someone else.

(AN: well that's the end for this chapter. Next chapter will have youma fights and the mysterious guy Serena dreamed about. Can any of you guess who it is? Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it. Please review. Later everyone.)
