Chapter 5: How Can You Tell?

Darien laughed. "Wow, you must have an abstract way of thinking if you just remembered that now."

"Ab-what?"

"Nevermind, Serena, nevermind," Darien laughed. As if on cue, the nurse walked into the room.

"Well, good evening, Ms. Moon," the polite woman replied. "How are we feeling?" The petite woman didn't give the blonde the chance to respond. She had already bent over her and began to examine her. Nothing beyond the ordinary. The flashlight in the eyes, a check in the ears, a tongue depressor in the mouth, a check of the heart rate, a check of the pulse, you know, the usual stuff that doctors do as you answer their questions which they never appear to be listening to. "Well, you seem to be in to be in tip-top condition except for that lovely bruise on your chest and those stitches you needed on your head. Tomorrow morning, I'll be back in to take a sample of your blood."

"Oh......kay," Serena muttered, quite unsure. The nurse turned to leave, but turned back around abruptly.

"Mr. Shields, make sure Ms. Moon does *not* go back to sleep. She has a concussion and may fall into a coma if she does," the petite woman replied, before turning back around and walking out the door.

Darien hadn't noticed it before, but Serena did have a long line of stitches on her hair line. Maybe it was because they were on the right side of her face, which was the side that was facing away from him. 'My beautiful angel,' Darien thought, 'what have I done to you?'

"Are you okay, Darien?" came Serena's quiet voice through Darien's train of thought.

"Yeah....fine," Darien said, snapping out of his thoughts. "Why do you ask?"

'Because you were staring at me so intently,' Serena wanted to say, but instead said, "I don't know....you seem a little dazed I guess. And you're actually being nice to me."

Darien smirked slightly as the realization of Serena's thoughts dawned upon him. "Would you like me to tease you again?"

"Oh, no!" Serena nearly yelped. As soon as she realized how fast she had answered, she blushed. "I mean.....I prefer to see this side of you instead of that egotistical side that you have a tendency to show to me far too often."

"Well, I can't help it if I'm perfect," Darien teased, grinning devilishly.

"Why you.....," Serena hmphed and crossed her arms as she turned to face the wall with her eyes closed.

"I'm just kidding, meatball head," Darien responded, poking her lightly in the arm.

Serena grinned evilly at the wall, not allowing Darien to see it. She turned around with a completely serious face and an eyebrow arched. "Really now? I wonder...."

"What do you wonder?"

"....if you're," Serena grinned again and poked Darien in the side only to see him jump, "...ticklish!"

"Oh, no, Serena, don't," Darien pleaded.

"Why shouldn't I?" Serena asked, completely serious.

"Because.....," Darien replied, thinking hard. Serena leaned over, her hands ready to tickle him to death. 'Okay, here goes....,' Darien thought. "Because you love me too much to torture me."

"That's.....where you're wrong!!"

~~~~After the tickle fight~~~~



Darien sat back down in his chair cautiously and let out a deep sigh as Serena leaned back into the pillow on her bed. He glanced at her. Her face was calm and serene. She seemed to be thinking about something. Just as Darien opened his mouth to ask what she was thinking about, Serena answered for him.

"Darien?" Serena asked, turning her crystal blue eyes to him.

"Yes, Serena?" Darien mocked, smirking slightly as Serena gave him an annoyed look.

"Fine, I won't ask you then," Serena replied, smugly. She turned back to look at the wall across from her bed.

"I'm sorry....what did you want to ask me?" Darien asked, curious as to what Serena thought about.

"How do you.....," Serena began, turning her gaze back to him, her eyes wondering. "How do you know when you're in love?"
