"What have you been up to lately?" Serena asked as she gave her friend a cup of coffee "It's been a while since you returned any of my mails let alone come see me."
Serena sat herself down opposite him picking up her freshly made coffee, waiting patiently for an explanation.
"Yeah I know." He ran one of his hands through his raven black hair and looked intently at his friend. "I... uh... was going to come sooner but I... uh... didn't know how you would react to seeing me, after everything that happened back then.
"Oh" was all Serena could say as her past was mentioned. Her face clouded for a minute. Shaking out of her reverie she quickly changed the subject.
"Well never mind that, I'm just happy to see you again. Hey, Darien..." Serena stopped short of what she was going to say when an idea struck her. "Do you have a place to stay? If you don't, you could always stay in the guest room."
Darien thought his options over in his mind, "I don't know Serena. I don't want to trouble you..."
"No trouble at all, come on, it'll be fun. Like the old days." Serena said smiling.
"Sure, with an offer like that, who could refuse?" Darien smiled at Serena as his heart skipped faster. 'What are you doing you baka?' he thought.
The two stayed up talking catching up on all times but never once approaching the subject they both wanted to talk about afraid of the other ones reaction.
Darien watched Serena as her eyes drooped from exhaustion. She yawned making him feel tired too. Darien got up picked Serena from the couch and took her to her bed. He found her room and tucked her in.
"Goodnight." He whispered in her ear. He left her room to get acquainted with his new room. He didn't see the smile on her face or hear her say his name.

"Wow, who's the babe with Serena?" Rei asked.
Chad who was only a few feet away from her heard this and felt a tinge of jealousy creep up his neck.
"I don't know, but you're right about something." Lita exclaimed "he sure is hot."
"I wonder why Serena never mentioned him to us before." Amy said curiously.
Mina just sat there her expression a million miles away trying not to get involved in their conversation.
"She could have just met him today Amy." Lita said.
"No I don't think so," Amy pointed out "by the look of that familiarity between the two it looks like they've know each other for a while."
"Hey what's up Mina?" Rei asked suspiciously "You've been awfully quiet back there. Do you know something we don't?"
"N... no." Mina stuttered "What makes you say that?"
A slow blush creeped across Mina's face as the other girls stared at her intently.
"Well." Rei asked impatiently tapping her foot on the ground continuously.
"If you know something Mina..." Lita said "then you probably should tell us."
"You know we don't like being kept in the dark." Rei fumed.
"I... I... I don't" Mina said.
"Hi guys." A jubilant Serena called out waving her free arm dragging Darien with the other one.
'Aah! Saved by the bell, and not to soon either.' Mina mumbled under her breath.
"I want you guys to meet my dear friend Darien. My savior." Serena said introducing Darien to her friends, with stars in her eyes.
"Darien this is Rei, her grandfather owns this place so we hang out here as often as we like." Serena introduced. Rei held out her hand which Darien took immediately.
"Pleased to meet you." Rei said almost seductively. Chad started to rage with jealousy as he witnessed the introduction.
"This is Lita, she can cook better than most of the chefs around here." Serena continued. Darien seemed impressed by her ability to cook which received a blush from Lita.
"Amy is like so smart. And very modest. You already know Mina." Serena looked around to see if she had missed anyone.
"Oh, and that is Chad. He wants to be like a rock star, so don't be afraid if you see him imitating dance moves and lip zincing ok." Serena said pointing to him.
"Hey Chad." Rei yelled "Come here and meet Darien."
At the mention of his name Chad froze for a while blushing furiously. He glanced in their direction but didn't move.
"Its nice meeting you all," Darien said then turning to Serena added "but I really should go Serena, that job interview is across town and I only..."
"It's alright, you can go." Serena said while smiling "We have business to do ourselves, but I'll see you at the apartment right."
"Sure. Bye, bye girls." Then looking at Chad he waved and left. When he was out of hearing range the girls started nagging at her.
"What is that all about?" Lita asked slyly.
"It's not what you think." Serena said defending herself "He's just a friend."
"So he's up for grabs." Rei asked pointedly.
"No Rei, he's not." Serena said calmly.
"So you are going with him." Rei triumphantly said.
"No, we're just friends." Serena replied getting irritated.
"Well if you don't want him what makes you think I'm going to let that 'fresh meat' waste?" Rei said challenging her. She cast a look to where Darien had just moments ago left.
"Oh Rei grow up." Serena said exasperated.
"How'd you two meet Serena?" Amy asked changing the subject.
