"Serena?" Mina waved her hand in front of the daydreaming blond.

Serena was just too deep in though about the lovely gifts, she had just received

to even hear or see her friend. Serena looked down at the card in her hand and brought

the perfect rose to her face. She brushed the soft velvet to her lips, then inhaled the

most beautiful scent ever.

The picture on the card was a beautiful yellow moon glowing over a lake. In front

of the lake, there was a prince dancing with his princess. They held each other so closely

you could not see where she began or he ended.

Serena read the card again, 'Please let me be your prince; because you my

enchanting princess have stolen my heart.' Serena sighed, "Beautiful."

Serena turned and began walking out the door of the arcade leaving the

blond barrelling after her.

"Serena....Serena....Serenaaaaa." Wailed the blond, who now was lying on

the hard ground, she had tripped over the crack in the sidewalk.

*******Valentine's Day*************

It was Valentine's Day. A day for lovers to show the one they love how

much they really mean. Today was the day Serena would finally meet her mystery

man.

The bells rang from above as another couple walked in hand in hand. They were

too busy giving goo goo eyes and lovey doves to each other to notice anything, but each

other. They walked over to the booth which was decorated for the lovers day. Actually

the whole arcade was completely done to the hilt. Red and white streamers covered the

ceiling. There were streamers from wall to wall, some were hanging down like vines

in a jungle. Every where you walked you had brush the streamers aside to walk through.

Little red, white, and pink heart confetti was thrown on all the tables and counter

tops. At each table sat a small bouquet of pink and white carnations. Behind the counter,

where you could usually find Andrew, was a gigantic bouquet of balloons.

Serena looked up and smiled at the couple. She sighed, her hands were holding a

pink bunny with a chocolate kiss in its arms. The card attached said, 'Can't wait till

you are my precious little bunny so I can give hugs and kisses to you.' A blush crept

upon her cheeks as she read the last part over again 'hugs and kisses to you.'

'This is so darn crazy.' Serena shook her head. She couldn't believe she was

starting to have feelings for this mysterious stranger who all week sent her gifts of

affection. She smiled as she remembered the rose petals.

~~~~~~~~~flashback~~~~~~~~~

Serena dragged herself upstairs after having a long torturous day. First,

she had forgotten her lunch. Next Miss Haruna had given her a detention, 'Her date must

have stood her up last night,' Serena smirked. Last, but not least Raye gave her a

verbal lashing for being late. It just hadn't been a good day. All the way to her room

she could smell the scent of fresh rose. 'Mom must have bought roses to brighten up the

house.'

As Serena reached her door she noticed it was closed, 'I could have sworn I left

my door open.' She turned the handle and opened it to the surprise of her life. There

were rose petals every where you looked. Red and white petals covered her entire floor,

her bed, dresser, nightstand, and vanity table. She also noticed the bouquet of red roses

on her vanity table. Serena couldn't believe what she was seeing.

'This is so special, it has to be a dream.' Serena walked slowly to her bed. She

loved the fragance the roses brought. She put her bag down and sat on her bed. She closed

her eyes for a moment then opened them, 'Nope, not a dream. This is real. Someone actually

did this for me.'

Serena laid down on her bed just wanting to savor this moment. She put her hands

down and felt something on top of the petals. She picked it up and saw it was a small card

with falling rose petals.

'To my precious bunny,

Hope you enjoy being showered in true love.

Your prince.'

Serena smiled and closed her eyes for the most enjoyable nap ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~End of flashback~~~~~~~~

"This is just plain stupid." Serena hit her head on the teddy bear she was

holding. Not only had she started having feelings for this mystery man, but then there

was Darien. Ever since they started over and became friends her feelings started to grow

for him. He didn't help it either by being so sweet and friendly with her. He was showing

her a completely different side to him. She had always known he could be, but he just

like to hide it from the rest of the world. Then what happened in the park didn't help

her at all. How could she be having feelings for both men. It was just too darn crazy.

"Crazy....crazy.....crazy." Serena continued to hit her head on the teddy bear.

Darien smiled as he walked through the park on his way to the arcade to see if

Serena had received his other gift and the letter asking to meet tonight. He couldn't

believe how well his plan to make his little bunny fall for him was going. What made

this even better was the way Serena and him were acting toward each other now that they

started over as friends. They joked around, laughed and he even spent the day with Serena,

Andrew and her friends at the park on Sunday afternoon. He smiled as he remember the day

so clear. They had set up a picnic area and spent the day playing games and lying around.

They were all just enjoy the day. His smile widen as the scene where he held Serena

replayed in his mind.

~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~

"Hey guys, lets play hide and seek?" The blond begged her friends as they laid

about her.

"Serena. Aren't we a little old for that?" Amy questioned.

"Yeah Serena. I mean we are not 5 years old any more." Raye put her 2 cents in.

"Come on guys, it would be fun." Serena gave her best puppy dog face.

"I think it will be fun. I want in." Andrew stood up and dusted off his pants.

"Okay. I will play too." Mina sprang to her feet ready to get this game started.

Andrew looked at Darien and kick his foot. "Come on Darien. I think you will have

fun."

"Please Darien." Darien looked up into Serena eyes and knew he couldn't say no to

her. "Sure why not."

Serena jumped up and down happily knowing all of her friends would all play. "Okay.

Not it." Serena sang and the rest of the gang followed suit. Serena looked around, "Darien,

you are it so go over to the tree and count to 30. Everyone else it is time to hide."

Darien walked over to the tree and began to count. "One, two, three," a few

seconds later, "twenty-nine, thirty. Ready or not here I come." Darien turned and looked

to see if he could see any of his friends.

He had spotted Amy and Lita hiding behind a bush near a few benches. He found

Andrew and Mina hiding next to the statue near the rose garden. He found Raye standing

behind a tree near Amy and Lita. Now all that was left was to find his Serena. He was

searching for about 15 minutes when he heard giggling coming from behind a large oak

tree nestled next to the lake. He walked slowly and peeked around. There was Serena

giggling. A smile crept on his face as he saw the little minx. He wrapped his arms around

her, "Gotcha!"

Serena yelped and struggled to get free. However all the wiggling she did just

made Darien hold onto her tighter. She turned around and was lost in a sea of dark sapphire

blue eyes. "I found you, my little minx." Darien moved his head down and Serena closed the

gap. They could feel their breath on each other. The heat between them was so overwhelming

that they could not think of anything else. Their lips were only centimeters away....

"Serena, Darien. Where are you guys?"

They were brought out of their trance and let go of each other. Darien smiled and

Serena blushed. "We're coming."

Serena started toward her friends and Darien followed behind with a silly love

sick grin. 'Things are going perfect. You will be mine Serena.'

~~~~~~~~~End of flashback~~~~~

Darien smiled as he walked into the well decorated arcade. He saw Andrew helping

a boy at the Sailor V game. He looked behind the counter to see a giant bouquet of

balloons. 'Cool it looks like my gift arrived.' Darien turned and looked around to see if

Serena was there. He saw Serena in a booth toward the back and was she hitting her head on

a teddy bear? He grinned wider as he recoginzed the teddy bear she was holding. 'She got

the gift I sent her while she was in class.' Darien walked closer and heard her saying

something about 'crazy'?

"Hey there Serena. How are you meatball head and are you enjoying yourself?"

Darien sat across from her.

Serena looked up to see Darien grinning at her. She blushed as remember what she

was doing. "Hehehehehe." Darien just smiled at how she blushed. She was so adorable.

"Hi Darien. I am good. How about you?"

"I am good. So do you have anything special planned for today being valentine's

and all?" Darien asked and looked around to see Andrew coming with another surprise for

Serena.

Serena was about to answer when Andrew handed her the giant bouquet of balloons.

"Serena, here this is for you. Someone left here. It has a card with your name on it."

Serena looked up to see a giant bouquet of red, white and pink balloons

surrounding a large decorated balloon saying 'Be my Valentine.' All Serena could muster

out was "Me?" Andrew handed Serena the card and sat the balloons next to her.

Serena took the card and began to read it out loud,

"My dearest little bunny,

Please meet me tonight at the Moonlite Cafe on the top floor of Tokyo Towers for

a quiet candlelight dinner for two and dancing under the stars. There I will reveal myself

to you. Hopefully you will be my valentine because I am already yours. You little one

have already stolen my heart so I hope tonight I will have yours. See you at 8 tonight.

Your Prince."

"Wow." The girls had chimed in. Serena hadn't noticed that Raye, Mina, Lita,

and Amy were all stand around them.

"Oh, hi guys." Serena blushed as realized they all heard her read the card.

"Gee Serena. You certainly do have an admirer." Andrew winked at Darien, but

Serena didn't seem to notice it.

"Yeah Serena." Lita smiled.

"Wow. How romantic!" Mina swooned.

"Are you going tonight?" Amy asked while the group all waited for the blond's

answer.

Darien just sat back and watched the scene unfold. He smiled at all the comments

the girls were making. He hope this would be affect of the card, but he never thought it

would be this good.

"Yeah I am going to go. I can't wait to see who this mystery guy is." Serena

giggled excitedly.

"Well you better get going now. It's 5:30." Raye stated.

"WHAT!" The blond got out of the booth and ran out the door with 5 girls following

after her.

Darien and Andrew laughed at the site which just took place.

"So you are going to tell Serena tonight?" Andrew looked at his friend.

"Yep. Tonight I will put my heart on the line for her. Hopefully she won't

break it." Darien sighed and stood up. "Well I got to go and get ready. See ya."

Andrew watched as his friend walked out the door, "She won't Darien. She won't.

And boy will you ever be surprised."
