Serena didn't turn in Darien's direction like he thought she would
when she arrived at the Arcade that day. She went to order a coke first and
then turned to throw a smile in his direction. It was just a regular smile,
no hidden feelings, just a little I'm-happy-to-see-you smile.
He felt hurt in a way. Maybe the feelings he'd thought she was feeling, weren't actually there. He watched her closely as she slipped in beside Raye. She joined in their conversation like it was nothing.
"I've got tons of Algebra homework," she grumbled. Ami opened her mouth to speak, but Serena interrupted her. "We know, Ami. You've already got it done."
They all laughed and Ami shrugged innocently.
"I want to know what is with that little smile you gave Darien," Mina said with her eyebrows arched.
It was Serena's turn to shrug. "It was just a smile."
They all gave her a look that said We-don't-believe-you-at-all.
"It's nothing," Serena insisted. Though she knew she was lying. She had been able to shake the feelings she had for Darien all morning.
"I bet," Mina said.
Serena rolled her eyes and finished off her coke. "Well, I guess I'll get going if we're not having a study group. I'll get my homework done by myself."
She left the Arcade.
"It's okay, Ami!" Lita said. "Breathe, girl, breathe!"
The scouts were too preoccupied with Ami to notice Darien casually slip out of his booth and follow Serena out onto the street. He jogged to catch up with her.
"Wait up," he said and soon regretted.
"Oh Darien. Tsk-tsk. You shouldn't wait for anything."
"Not even me?"
She eyed him. "Well, maybe you."
He smiled.
"But not anything else."
He frowned again. "Serena I need to talk to you."
"About that kiss?"
"Yes. Did... well, did it mean anything at all?"
She stopped and turned to him. He could feel yet another lesson coming. "The world is round, Darien. It has no end. So if the sky doesn't end, neither do the possibilities. So it's possible..."
"Yes?" he urged her.
"It's possible I fell in love with you."
Darien's smile could be seen around the world as big as it was. And Serena was right, a smile is contagious, so she started smiling too. He picked her up and spun around in circles. When he stopped he brought her down and kissed her. Longer this time, with more feeling than the last had had.
She smiled and seperated her lips from his.
"So you know what this means don't you?"
"No what?"
"I've given up on Tuxedo Mask."
Darien put his arm around her shoulders and they walked back toward her house.
"About that Serena," he started. "The reason I knew so much about Tuxedo Mask, is that I am Tuxedo Mask."
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"Well then you'll believe me when I say I'm Sailor Moon."
He blinked twice. "Yeah, I could see that."
Serena threw back her head and laughed. Darien joined in the laughter and people turned to give them strange looks. They tested once again the conatgiousness of a smile.
Turns out it's more contagious than the flu and cold combined.
Author's Note: You like? Or not? Hmm? Yes, I know maybe I should have included more lessons, but more pool of wisdom has run dry. I'm sorry I have turned back into a blonde. *sobs* Anywho, I may or may not write an epilogue. Please review and tell me watcha think.
