Author's Notes: bounces in like the bouncy blonde she isn't (I'm def blonde, but def NOT bouncy) Hey there!! Um, yeah, thought I'd clear up a question I got in the third chappie! Darien didn't recognize Serena because when she went to visit him in the museum she was well enough disguised. Serena didn't recognize Darien because she was too busy staring at her new found crush to be relating him back to the detective, but I'll let you in on a little secret.....she notices, eventually! Well, now that I cleared THAT up....on with the ficcie!!

Chapter 5: Sleepy Day Dreams

Serena hadn't gotten much sleep that night. So, it was a wonderment as to what she looked like when she wandered into her favorite coffee shop the next day. She ordered herself a French vanilla with extra sugar and a chocolate muffin before she wandered over to the table that she was sitting at the previous day. As she sat, Serena took a long swig of the warm liquid and sighed as she felt it hit her empty stomach. Nothing like a nice warm cup of coffee in the morning.

Serena leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes as she drifted off into a light sleep which really wasn't a light sleep at all. She had actually fallen into a normal sleeping pattern of a slacker kid in the back of Algebra II class. (AN: Hey it's me!!!)

Darien entered the coffee shop not to long after Serena fell into her sleep. He ordered a regular coffee and his accustomed to chocolate muffin. He then spotted Serena and waved to her. He became quite confused when she didn't wave back. He shrugged off the confused feeling and decided to see what was bothering her.

After a few minutes of talking to the sleeping figure that looked as though she were leaning comfortably back in her chair ignoring the world around her, Darien set his coffee and muffin down so he could examine her more thoroughly. He lifted the hat off of her head that had been blocking his sight of her closed eyes. He smiled as it finally dawned on him that she was beyond help and had fallen asleep in a public place. He pulled her coffee and her muffin from her hands and set them on the table, so he could attempt to awaken her and not have something extremely hot thrown on him or have something thrown at him that he would be pulling out of his hair for days.

Darien set both of his hands onto Serena shoulders and shook her lightly. "Serena? Wake up," he mumbled these softly to her as to not draw attention to them. But, alas, the girl made no movement or noise showing that she was going to wake up.

When the ebony haired man shook the petite blonde again, Serena grumbled something under her breath before sighing.

After a few minutes of relentless pursuit of Serena in her dream world, Darien gave up and sat down in the free chair with a sigh of defeat. He couldn't leave her here, someone would be sure to mug her. So, what to do? Fortunately for him, he didn't have to make a choice, but he would have to endure a merciless round of teasing later.

After seeing Darien's car out front of the coffee shop, Jessica decided to see what the detective that was her partner was up to. So, the curly haired brunette walked into the coffee shop and searched among the groups of people sitting down. She spotted Darien waving at her, but who was he sitting with? 'Oooooo!! It's a girl!' Jessica thought, pleasantly. 'Oh, man! Revenge will be sweet Darien. You deserve what you get for teasing me about Chris!'

Jessica grinned evilly before plastering on a normal smile and walking over to the table that Darien resided at. "Hey Dare!" Jessica greeted, cheerfully. "Who's the girl?"

"I need your help, Jess," Darien stated, grinning nervously. "You can tease me all you want later, okay?"

"Alright!" Jessica agreed. She then smiled at Darien again. "What ya need help with?"

"Serena was kind of sleeping when I walked in here," Darien said, gesturing to the sleeping blonde the chair.

"Really? She looks kind of awake, but now that you mention it she hasn't moved," Jessica stated.

"Well, I need you to carry the coffee and the muffins, so I can carry her," Darien replied, rolling his eyes at the evil grin that crossed Jessica's features. "I just don't want her to get mugged!"

"Sure you don't, lover boy," Jessica responded, picking up the coffees and starting to walk to Darien's car.

Darien's face turned a lovely shade of red before he walked over to Serena and cradled her in his arms like a small child. As he picked her up he could faintly detect the smell of vanilla coming from her hair, which caused a small shade of pink to stain his cheeks. He turned around just in time to see Jessica grinning at him as she picked up the muffins.

"You're so much more cute when you're embarrassed," Jessica laughed, as she walked back to the car again.

Good thing for Darien that Jessica left when she did, because Serena was becoming accustomed to the warmth given off by Darien and in order to get closer to it, she snuggled the side of her face into his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Darien turned crimson again. He sighed as he walked out to the car.



(AN: DUN DUN DUN!!! No....Chappie 5 is not over with....just time to introduce the UNDERPLOT, heh heh!!)



The man brushed his long shoulder length platinum hair away from his face as a smirk crossed his features. Last time he had called things were going according to plan, and he hoped that they would stay this way. Although, right now there was a two day delay. Sure, it would throw back his schedule just a bit, but he could fix that. And he might not even mind having to wait, just as long as he got his desired amount of money.

A knock was heard at the door and a brunette entered the room. He bowed to the man sitting at the desk infront of him, his sapphire eyes closing as he did so.

"Moon Four says her progress is coming along perfectly," the brunette replied, standing back up to his full height. "She says Rabbit doesn't suspect a thing."

"What about the Chicago Plan?" the platinum haired man asked, his ice blue eyes narrowing slightly at the man infront of him.

"Moon Four said her plans would be drawn up tonight and that she would fax them over tomorrow," the brunette answered, never flinching under the older man's intimidation.

"Good," the platinum haired man said, another smirk crossing his cold features. "Keep it that way Sapphire and I might let you live."
