@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

7:15pm rolled around with the girls finishing up at Serena's house. They had

spent the last few hours trying dress after dress after dress on. They helped her with

her hair and makeup . Now Serena stood in front of the mirror looking at herself with

the girls sitting about her room.

"Do you really think this dress is perfect for tonight?" Serena glanced at herself

in the mirror twirling to get the full affect. She wore a pink strapless gown. The bodice

was in a heart shape with white beads, it gathered at her small waist. The fabric billowed

softly from her tiny waist to her feet. The gown shimmered in many shades of pink. She

wore a small pearl pendant around her neck with matching earrings. White heels adorned her

tiny feet. Her hair was pulled back and swept up into a french twist. She had glitter on

her face, her body and in her hair giving her an ethereal glow. Serena wore shimmering pink

shadow on her eyes and upon her lips she wore strawberry lip gloss. Her makeup gave her

such an innocent, angelic look. It was perfect.

She waited for her friends to say something. Mina was the first to speak.

"Girls, I think our work is done here." Smirked Mina as she started to do a little

victory dance. Stopping momentarily she posed and gave a 'V' sign for victory. It was

then the girls slowly started to back away from the crazy blond dancing about the room.

'Remember to help Mina find a boyfriend.' Serena eyed her good friend who was just

way too happy for her.

"You look absolutely gorgeous." Amy commented trying to forget about the strange

blond that was still dancing and very badly too.

"Yeah, this guy won't know what hit him." Laughed Raye as she gave a high five

to Lita.

"Thanks guys. You are the best friends any girl could have." Serena gathered her

friends for a group hug.

"Honk! Honk!"

"Okay Serena. You better hurry. Your cab is waiting." Amy handed Serena her little

white purse. 'I should call Greg and see what he is up to? Do I really want to spend

Valentine's day with the girls? Amy looked at her friends then to Serena as she started

toward the door. 'Nope, I don't.'

"Yeah Serena, You don't want to keep Prince Charming waiting for you." Mina wrapped

a white shawl around Serena's shoulders. 'I can't believe it, Me; the goddess of love;

has no date for Valentine's Day. The world has come to an end.'

"Don't forget to give us all the juicy details." Raye winked. 'I really need to

find a boyfriend if my only way to get romance is through Meatball head there.'

"Yeah Serena! They better be juicy too." Lita laughed. 'I wonder if he will look

like my old boyfriend.'



The girls walked Serena to her cab and helped her in. They watched as it started

to drive off toward Tokyo Towers where Serena would meet her mystery man.

"Well girls, what do we do now?" Mina asked her friends.

An idea came to mind, "Why don't we spend the night here and wait for Serena? She

will want to tell us everything when she gets home." Raye smiled sweetly. "If she doesn't

tell us, we will just have to force it out of her."

The girls cheered, "Yeah!"

***********Meanwhile******************

Darien sat patiently awaiting for his bunny to arrive. He had arrived 20 minutes

ago wanting to make sure everything was perfect for tonight. He had told the maitre d' how

he want the evening to go and what he wanted their table to look like. He was lucky the

maitre d' was a friend of his from Medical school.

He stood up and look out the glass walls. It was a beautiful sight before him. He

looked out at the city below him. The city lights and the moon in sky just made everything

fit together. Everything was perfect and he would tell Serena tonight how he felt. It was

tonight he would put his heart on the line for this little blond goddess. He just hope she

would accept it.

Darien looked at his watch seeing it was 7:55. 'She should be arriving any

moment.' Darien walked over to the table and pick up the white mask. He looked it over

once again running the mask between his thumb and index finger. He did want to let Serena

know it was him when she walked through the doors; but somewhere inside his mind he was

scared. She would just walk out leaving him alone like he had always been. He knew

couldn't take the pain right then and there. It would hurt too badly to know this little

bunny could never have feeling for him as he did her. If he told her into the evening

then just maybe...?

"Ding!"

Darien put the mask on his face and turn to see a vision. There stood Serena

looking around trying to find someone. Darien had to catch his breath before he could go

to her. She was truly the goddes, the woman he had dreamt about so many time over. The one

who could take away all of his pain. He needed her. He wanted her. Hopefully she would

feel the same.

Serena exited the elevator to the top floor where the Moonlite Cafe was. She

couldn't believe she was actually going meet this mystery man. The man who sent her all

the wonderful gifts and notes. However part of her felt guilty. Why did she feel guilty?

She was not attached to anyone. She was free to see anyone she wanted, but something

wasn't right.

As she watched a couple danced by, the woman was wearing a dark blue evening gown.

The color reminded her of a pair of shappire eyes. Darien had entered her mind. Yes, they

were friends, but could she actually be having feelings for him. He was sweet and gentle

when he wanted to be. He actually showed her some emotions he would normally hide. Yes,

he was hiding something. Maybe he was hurt when he was younger. Its why he puts up his

wall, a barrier. He didn't want anyone to get close. He really is afraid of getting

hurt.

'But I wouldn't hurt him.' Her mind screamed, 'He doesn't know that.' Her heart

counter.

As different emotions fought inside her, she didn't noticed someone had actually

walked up to her until he spoke.

"My fair lady. My sweet, little bunny, it is a pleasure to have you here with me."

The voice was smooth and husky all in one. Serena couldn't believe what his voice was

doing to her senses.

She looked up and saw a tall, very handsome young man in a black tuxedo with a

white cummerbund standing in front of her. She noticed the a perfect red rose on his

lapel. She saw he had broad shoulders and seem to fill out the tux very nicely. She was

sure underneath his shirt was a very nice six pack.

She blushed at where her thoughts went, 'Hehehehe, glad he can't read my mind.'

Darien grinned as he saw the rosey hue grace Serena's features. 'I can't believe

you are actually here!'

She trembled a little anxious to finally be able to look into this mystery man's

face. She saw he had black silky hair which was nicely combed. Although he had one strand

of hair which fell over his eyes.

Serena had a sudden urge to reach her hand up there and brush the strand aside.

She could see his dark mesmerizing eyes through his white mask?

'Mask? He is wearing a mask?' She was utterly confused. "A mask?" She couldn't

hide her disappointment and confusion.

"I am sorry, little bunny. I am not quite ready to show you my face. Please

understand. I don't want to be hurt." He looked at her earnestly hoping she would accept

why he couldn't, just yet.

Seeing he was a little worried, but honest she knew it would be okay. He was

scared like she was. "I understand, but when will I see the face of my suitor." She winked

getting him to smile. The most gorgeous smile she had ever seen. 'Why does he remind me

of someone?' She shruged it off.

"It will be tonight, Princess. It will." He kissed her hand which cause her to

giggle. Taking her hand, he lead her to their table which was away from everyone giving

them some well deserved privacy.

Serena stopped as she saw the view in front of her. The skyline of the city was

truly amazing. And for some reason the moon twinkled even brighter in the sky. It seemed

to be smiling down on them. Darien turned to see Serena looking out at the view. He

noticed the moon shining down on Serena which made her look even more beautiful, like she

belong. He saw she was truly the angel he had been waiting for all of his life. The one

he had wished for.

'Thank you.' He smiled. For some reason it looked like the moon smiled down at

him as if saying 'Your welcome'.

They sat at a little table for two. It was very dim with only the candles which

surrounded them. She couldn't believe all of this was for her. The night went on from

there very smoothly. They had a nice quiet dinner. She told him about herself, school,

family and friends. In return he told her about medical school and working his way

through. She had tears brimming in her eyes as he told her about his life in the orphanage

when his parents were killed. She didn't feel pity, but sad at not having a mother or

father there for him when he needed them. She would not know what to do if she didn't

have her parents.

The music invade Serena's ears and she wished she could dance with her stranger.

Darien seeing this stood up and took a hold of Serena's hand.

"Dance with me, my princess?" He kissed her hand sending a jolt of electricity

through her body.

Serena nodded and was lead to the dance floor. She put her arms around his neck as

he brought her petite form to his. Wrapping his arms around her waist he noticed how her

body seem to fit just perfectly with his. He looked down at the woman in his arms to see

her looking straight at him. Her eyes so full of emotion. He was just drawn to them. As

they danced he could not take his eyes from the angel.

Serena wrapped her arms around his neck and felt her body being pulled closer.

She felt the warmth of his body next to her. She couldn't believe how well she fit in his

arms. Looking up she was mesmerized by the dark pools which seem to call to her.

'Why does this seem to feel so right?' She asked herself.

As she continued to dance she could feel him staring down at her. Looking up she

was not ready for what happened next. He slowly lowered his head and seeing this Serena

closed her eyes awaiting for the moment she knew would take place. She could feel him pull

her a little closer, feel his breath on her lips knowing she was only centimeters away

from his lusious lips.

Darien captured Serena's lips, seering them with so much heat and passion it

overflowed through their veins. Nudging her lips open, Darien plunged his tongue exploring

her hot, wet mouth.

Serena was a little taken a back, but seem to go with it. All she could feel was

the need for him. She let him explore her mouth feeling everything. She then let her

tongue dance with his. Taking her cue from him, she slipped her tongue into his mouth

earning a moan from him. She was enjoy this feeling. She loved being held by him. His

kisses seem to be filling her, but she needed more. She needed him.

She moaned, "Darien."

Darien pulled away shocked to say the least. He looked at her. Serena realizing

what she had just said covered her mouth.

"Oh my god. I am so sorry." Serena started to back away. She couldn't believe it.

Here she was having a beautiful evening with her prince and she goes and calls him

'Darien.'

'Damn.' She cursed her heart for telling her what she knew she really wanted.

"But why?" Darien wanted to know. He wanted her to tell him that she wanted him

like he wanted her.

"I am sorry. I guess my heart is not really here. It is with him. I really

shouldn't be here. I am truly sorry." Serena turned on her heels trying to get away.

"Serena." Darien grabbed a hold of her arm not letting her go. She was not going

to get away from him now that he knew she felt the same.

"Please. Let me go." Serena pleaded not turning to face him. She was just too

embrassed at what happen.

"NO!" His voice was commanding and seemingly very familiar.

Serena stopped struggling and turned to look at the man before her.

"Serena. I need to show you something." Darien slowly took of his mask revealing

his identity to her.

Serena couldn't believe it. The man she spent her evening with is the man she has

wanted since day one. She didn't know whether to be happy or to be upset. But looking

into his eyes and seeing he was holding his heart out for her. All she could do was

smile.

Serena launched herself into his arms and cuddled close to him. She loved him. She

knew it in her heart and now she knew he loved her. Darien just smiled and held Serena

close to him never wanting to let her go. They stood there in the middle of the dance

floor just holding each other.

"Darien." Serena looked up into Darien's blue eyes and was greeted with a peck on

her forehead causing her to giggle.

"Serena. I can't believe it. Here you are in my arms." Darien sighed contentedly.

"I don't want to be any where else." She rested her head on his chest.

"I love you, Serena, My little bunny."

"I love you too." Serena looked into Darien's eyes. Darien bent down and kissed

her full on the mouth showing her how much he truly loved her. How much he wanted her,

how much he needed her to take away his pain.

Serena kissed him back showing him she understood. That she would always be there

and she loved him as much. Breaking the kiss off for lack of air, they sighed contentedly

as they danced on. Both happy at what they found, knowing no one or anything could ever

riped them apart.

As they danced under the stars, the moon sighed happily at the sight her daughter

and her prince made. 'Your welcome.'

Hope you liked what you read. Now here is a surprise for you all.

An epilogue. ~,^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Raye awoke from hearing her friends snoring away. She looked to see Mina sprawled

out over the floor, her right foot on top of Amy's face. Lita had taken refuge on the couch

and was laying with her feet up in the air while her head was falling off the edge. Turning

she looked to the clock on the vcr which read 12:35.

'Serena, should be home anytime now.' As if on cue she heard a car pull up. Quickly

she ran to the window forgetting her friends were on the floor. She tripped over Amy and

landed on top of Mina.

"Watch it." Amy swated at the air.

"Owwwww." The blond yelp causing the brunette to wake and fall to the floor.

"Shhhhhhh." Was the only response they got. Slowly waking up the girls looked to

see Raye peeking out the window.

"Hey what is up?" Mina questioned.

"Serena is home. Now shut up!"

Mina pouted, "Raye!" While Mina was busy pouting, she missed Amy and Lita running

to see Serena.

"Hey wait for me." Mina realized and tried to look outside.

"Darien, I had a great time." Serena smiled.

"Is that Darien with Serena?" Lita stuttered.

"So did I." Darien held her hand as they walked to the porch.

"Yes it is. Oh my god." Amy covered her mouth.

They got to the porch and stood there for a moment just looking at each other.

"Do you think he will kiss her?" Raye asked.

"Let me see." Mina tried to push Raye out of the way, but failed miserablely.

Darien wrapped his arms around Serena while her hands laid on his chest. Darien

lowered his head and kissed Serena slowly at first then deepening the kiss. Serena opened

her mouth willingly as he explored. He could taste her. It was pure heaven.

"Awwww." Was heard through the house.

"I want to see! Darn it!" Mina shoved Amy who grabbed onto the nearest thing to

steady herself. What she grabbed or should I say who she grabbed, 'yelp' and took a hold of

the table near the window causing everything to crash to the floor.

Raye turned to see 2 of her friends lying on the floor with the table turned over

and the lamp broken. Lita was sprawled out on the sleeping bags, but somehow she managed

to get the sleeping bags all over her. Amy was struggling to get up since Lita kept

swinging her limps causing Amy to continue falling over. Raye looked at Mina who suddenly

had a really bright hue on her cheeks.

"Hehehehe." The blond bent over trying to help her friends up, but ending up

on her face as well. All Raye could do was laugh.

Darien jumped hearing the crash. He looked at Serena who winked, "Just a few of

my friends. You know the kind."

Darien laughed and pulled Serena into one last kiss for the night.



Now this is the end.
