Hey everyone! I'm back with chapter 12, and I decided to write this chapter, and post it with chapter 11. How is everyone enjoying it so far? Please review. I want to know what you guys think.

I forgot to put a disclaimer on Chapter 11, so here it is for chapters 11 and 12.
Disclaimer: I never have, do not, and will not ever own Sailor Moon. I'm a poor high school student. If you have a problem with that email me.

Days of Summer Lovin'
Chapter 12
By Kasumi Yawa




Darien and Serena lay in bed in the early hours of the morning as the sun began coming up and a soft breeze blew through the window onto their sheets as they clung onto one another.
Serena snuggled closer into Darien's arms, which woke him up. He looked at her smiling face, as she sighed in her sleep. He smiled and kissed the top of her head. He lay on his back as the sleeping Serena snuggled onto his chest.
He began thinking of how much he really and truly cared for Serena. He knew what he was going to do. He fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Serena woke up awhile later and turned to see it was 8:02 am. She sighed and looked over at Darien, who was asleep, but had a smile on his face. She smiled and thought how child-like he looked. She lay in his arms when he woke and he looked at her sleepily.
"Hey there beautiful," he said softly. She blushed.
"Hey there handsome," She answered back. He chuckled and stared into Serena's eyes. She was staring back, with a shade of pink splattered across her cheeks. He kissed her softly and then hopped off the bed. She looked at him in confusion, and was about to follow him, when he stopped her with his finger. She sat back on the bed and waited to see what he was up to.
Darien walked into the living room, and looked around for his pants. He found them on the floor, which was carelessly thrown the previous night. He picked up his pants and took out something out of his pocket. He then proceeded to magically materialize a rose and walked back to the bedroom. Serena had remained on the bed, with the sheets covering her. He sat down on the bed next to her, and gently lay his hand on her cheek. They kissed one another, and when they separated, Darien gave her the rose.
She smiled radiantly, as she accepted the rose. She held it to her chest with gentleness and love.
He then held up what was in his other hand. She gasped as he held up a velvet box in front of her. He grinned and opened the box. A simple diamond ring sat in it.
Darien took a deep breath and began saying, "Serena, the love of my life I love you, and I know I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Be my wife. Serena will you marry me?" Serena's eyes began to water as she took a deep breath.
"Of course I would love to marry you. I love you too. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you to, as your wife and you as my husband."
Darien's eyes began to also water, as he placed the ring on Serena's left ring finger. He then kissed her and they hugged.

A few hours later, when they had finally decided to come out of the bedroom, they sat on the couch just talking. Darien sat upright, as Serena was sprawled on the couch with her legs in Darien's lap. She looked at the ring and smiled. She couldn't wait to start planning her wedding. She sighed and Darien began massaging her feet. She groaned and lay back.
"So Serena, school's going to begin soon for you. You're last year, and then it's you, me and the honeymoon." Serena blushed, and then something popped in her head.
"Oh Darien! You just reminded me! I have something to show you!" Serena said suddenly. She got up and Darien waited in anticipation to see what made Serena so excited. She went into the kitchen and came back to the living room, holding a piece of paper.
"Darien. You better see this." Serena stated. Darien took the article from his head and began reading the article. His eyes widened in shock as he read the article. He couldn't believe it.
"I knew something was wrong with her!" Darien said aloud. Serena tilted her head in interest.
"Oh and that's why you were with her all the time?" She asked teasingly, yet a bit harshly sounding a bit jealous when she thought of the two together. Darien noted the harshness in her voice and sighed.
"Were back to that again? You thought she was my girlfriend? How come Serena?" Darien asked. Serena was surprised when he asked her.
"Well I saw her with you one day, and you guys were holding each other really close. I thought you didn't love me anymore and wanted Katherine." Serena stated. She giggled when Darien cringed when she mentioned him and Katherine together.
"Serena you got it all wrong. That day Katherine asked if I would go with her and find her uncle a gift. When I agreed we went to Main St. She then hugged me for helping her out. That was it end of story. I then told her I didn't have any interest in her and that I loved you. And while we're at the subject, what was up with you and Kyle?" Darien wanted to know. Serena blushed.
"Well you see, that day I felt awful and went out a bit. Kyle came up to me and we began talking. When he noticed I wasn't myself, he asked what was wrong and I cried in front of him and he comforted me. That's all." Darien nodded understandingly.
"So what are you going to do about Katherine?" Serena asked.
"Well she hasn't done anything suspicious and we can't confront her about it, because she hasn't done anything. But I'll keep an eye on her." Darien suggested. Serena nodded and they sat in silence. After a few minutes, Darien started grinning. Serena sat and watched Darien in amusement.
"What are you grinning about?" Serena wanted to know.
"Oh just about our wedding and wedding night." Darien stated with a grin on his face. "Oh you!" Serena said, and hit him with a pillow. "Is that what you only think about?" She asked. "No," he stated, "I also think about the times we will work on making children." Serena blushed and covered her face in embarrassment. He burst out laughing, and grabbed Serena and began kissing her.

***********************************************************************************

A few days later, Serena and Darien had decided it was time to tell her parents. They had arranged for a dinner at a five-star restaurant. The night of the dinner was very nerve racking. Serena stood staring at her reflection. She wore a beautiful black dress, which extended to her knees and showed off her chest. She wore her hair in her usual meatballs, and wore her engagement ring with admiration. She wore a pair of diamond earrings and waited for Darien, who was picking her up.
Darien arrived and walked up to her apartment and waited for her as she opened the door. When the door opened, Darien stood open mouthed and in awe as he saw his Serena looking sexy.
"I take it you like it?" Serena asked smirking. Darien whistled and signaled for Serena to turn around so he could see all of her dress. As she turned he smacked her bottom and she squealed in surprise. He laughed and she giggled.
"Hands off until later." She warned. He nodded and said, "Are you nervous?" Serena let out a deep breath. "Well I know my parents like you a lot, so I'm ready." He nodded. "And by the way you look really good. Real handsome and sexy," Serena said checking him out. "Thank you. It's very hard to look this way for a few people. I'm just lucky." He said arrogantly. She snorted, which made him surprised. She laughed and shook her head
She headed for her bedroom to grab her shawl and they headed out to the restaurant.


At the Tsukino's, Serena's parents got ready. They were both nervous and confused in why Serena called and invited them both to dinner at a five-star restaurant.
"What do you think she wants to tell us?" Ken asked his wife as he tried straightening his tie, which was hard for him, since he wasn't paying much attention. Ilene shrugged and laughed at her husband's appearance. He was nervous and playing with his tie. He sighed in frustration and she shook her head and walked over to her husband and straightened his tie for him.
"Well whatever it is, we have to expect the unexpected or except the expected." Ilene answered. Ken, confused by his wife's answer, merely nodded.

**********************************************************************************
Serena and Darien arrived at the restaurant before her parents. They say down and held hands and nervously looked around and at each other. They kissed and smiled at one another. They then saw her parents and waved them over. Serena's parents walked over with big smiles on their faces.
"Darien, Serena. What a wonderful idea! I'm so glad to see you!" Ilene said, hugging Darien and Serena.
"Hello Darien," Ken said, shaking his hand. "Hi Sweetheart," he said hugging her. "Hi dad, mom" She answered hugging them back.
"Well now, why don't we sit down and talk?" Ilene suggested as the sat and proceeded to order their meals.
"So uh Serena, your mother and I we're just wondering if there was a special reason you called us here, or you just missed us." Ken stated. Serena laughed as Ilene jabbed her husband's ribs. Darien smiled, as Ken turned red.
"Well mom, dad I knew you would be wondering why we called you here. Mom, dad, Darien asked me to marry him and I said yes," Serena announced holding out her hand, showing off her hand. They sat in shock, open-mouthed as they stared at the ring.
"Well aren't you going to say something?" Serena asked after seeing their expressions. Ilene answered with a big cry of joy as she stood and hugged her daughter. Both cried as they embraced one another. When Ilene sat back down, they face Ken. He cleared his throat. And looked up at his wife and the couple.
"You take care of my daughter, young man." He said firmly. Darien gulped and nodded. Ken smiled, "I hope both of you will be happy. I know you will be." Darien smiled and the two shook hands as Serena smiled. She couldn't believe her life was on track, and that both her parents liked Darien and excepted him. She sighed as they comfortably continued the evening in a happy state.

**********************************************************************************

While Serena and Darien enjoyed their night, evil was lurking in their shadow. Katherine who was still angered by Darien's attitude, yet was even more determined to have Darien was planning to get rid of Serena.
As she sat and thought, her eyes glanced at an old newspaper. Ironically, it had a picture of Serena! Katherine picked up the newspaper and read the article. It was about Diamond Stone and his attempted kidnapping of Serena. She smiled evilly as she thought of her plan that was forming in her mind.

The next day, Katherine, wearing a trench coat and dark sunglasses entered the state penitentiary, where Diamond Stone was being held. She entered the visitors' room, where Diamond Stone sat, waiting to see who had actually wanted to see him. He glanced up and saw a beautiful woman walking toward him. She stood in front of him.
"Mr. Diamond Stone?" She asked. He nodded silently.
"I've come here with a proposition." She stated. He then knew he was ready to listen, as she told him of her plan to get him out and to get rid of Serena. He smiled and knew he was dealing with a master plan.

***********************************************************************************

Darien and Serena had been engaged for 3 weeks and all their friends we're happy for them. The most surprised were Molly and Andrew as they stood in shock as they were told that the couple was getting married. They couldn't believe the two we're actually getting married and couldn't wait for the wedding. Serena and Darien were very happy and thought their love would never be broken.

However, one night Katherine had quietly slipped into the penitentiary and drugged the security guard and was able to release Diamond and the two sped away into the night as they planned to put their plan into action.
