"I'm telling you," Raye whispered, "they talked last night."
Serena walked into the kitchen and poured a bowl of cereal. "I see your still an eavesdropper Raye."
Raye turned a dark shade of red. "Sorry."
"That's okay. I still haven't decided what to do yet. Dare and I are talking it over so don't try to pressure us anymore."
"Okay."
Serena ate her cereal in silence. As soon as she stepped out of the apartment the scouts exploded.
"It worked!"
"God Darien's good!"
"You're telling me. When he showed up in a tux with roses I was ready to go on a date with him!"
"Do you think they'll get back together?"
"I hope so! The future depends on it!"
"You know what will happen if they don't," Ami said sadly.
"No what?" Mina asked.
"We'll be forced to rule from the Moon and no one will accept us as easily. Meanwhile Darien will have his kingdom set up on Earth. The two will clash and fight and war might ensue."
"Oh no," Lita groaned. "Let's pray it worked."
Serena wasn't thinking about walking, but was thinking about Darien, and just like in the old times she ran into someone as she turned the corner. Darien helped her up.
She started laughing. "I guess something's never change, huh?"
"I guess not," he said chuckling. They fell into an uncomfortable silence.
"So'd you get to sleep last night?"
"No. I ended up having a long conversation with the neighbor's cat."
Serena laughed. "I've had conversations with cats before. The only difference is they talked back."
"Yeah. Well this one didn't talk back, but she was a great listener."
Serena sighed, "Well I've got to get going. I'll see you later Dare."
"Yeah, bye Serena."
Serena walked away and tried to not turn around and watch him leave. Was she falling in love with him again? He always could confuse her like he had now. She was a hopeless romantic and he always knew how to make her happy. He knew her secrets, her sadness, her happiness, and almost everything about her. He knew how to make her get lost in his eyes. How to make her smile, and laugh.
But he also knew how to make her cry.
She sighed. The feelings inside her was like Chex Mix. Except it was just a little harder to seperate. She wondered if she'd ever get it all spread apart.
Don't look, Darien instructed himself. Don't watch her hips swing slightly when she walks. Don't realize how long and soft her hair is. Don't turn around and call out her name.
But why not? another voice spoke up. You aren't the one who isn't supposed to be in love with her, you can do as you please. It should be her that's torn. Why not help her out? Make it easier? Why are you trying to play hard to get with Serena?
He shook his head slowly and blinked even slower.
"Darien," a voice from behind him said.
Darien spun around to face Serena. Her finger was intertwined in her hair and she was twisting it tenatively, around and around. She bit her bottom lip and looked up at him.
"I liked talking with you last night. I liked going flying. I liked being able to relax with you again. I liked listening to my locket again. I liked seeing you in that tuxedo."
"I loved the memories."
She looked up at him and held her breath waiting for his response. Which was more than even he bargained for.
He grabbed the hand that was in her hair and put it around his neck, then slid his arm down her back to cradle her body in the crook of his arm. He drew her closer and closed his eyes as he met her lips. Their soft smoothness filled his mind and an unignorable tingle spread from his lips down to his toes. Both her arms embraced his neck and she let herself be drawn into the sweet kiss. She thought twice about spreading her lips, but did anyway. The kiss deepened and she knew she never would think twice about Darien again.
Half a block away a brunette smiled smugly.
"I knew they'd get back together. It was Miss Know it All Ami who had the doubts."
"I don't know what you are talking about Lita."
"Well I certainly knew," Mina said. "I am the Goddess of Love."
Raye threw her head back laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"I- I just realized that those are Serena's shoes on that roof!"
"What?"
Three heads craned to see a pair of red high heels dangling from a gutter. The laughter could be heard by everyone on the street. Everyone except Darien and Serena who were lost in each other and their renewed love.
Author's Note: So I finally finished something. Miracle, huh? I was just doing some housekeeping and decided I'd better work on some stories. Review if you liked the last chapter. I liked writing it. I know, I suck at endings. Sorry!
