A/N: Yea! I've already gotten some reviews for this story! Well, glad to know you all liked how I broke them up *inserts laugh*. It was just BEGGING to be done. I mean, how many times do you get to read about a gay darien-jackass/jerk??? Okay, I haven't ready many, I've seen two like that…NE-ways I'm sure you've all guessed (correctly I hope) who I'm pairing our now very sexy Serena with. But I'm not going to officially announce it until the romance actually starts, which may as well be in the chapter, and now I'll stop babbling…Enjoy!

Title: In A Week

Chapter Two

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***

" Birdie?!" Setsuna stared shocked into the face of the beautiful woman standing just as shocked beside her.

Birdie couldn't believe it! She hadn't seen any of the Senshi since they'd left Tokyo two years ago! But something was amiss, who was the gorgeous silver haired goddess next to Amara? The blue haired one knew she'd never seen her before, she seemed mysterious with those dark black glasses on. Getting over her surprise and shock, Birdie grinned and hugged her two friends, then politely held out her hand to the new woman.

" Hi, I'm Birdie." Birdie smiled warmly but her lips turned into a confused type of frown/smile when the girl giggled and started to pull off her glasses.

" Birdie, surely you'd remember someone like me?!"

Birdie's breath caught as shockingly glacier blue eyes revealed themselves and suddenly a name clicked in her brain, triggering her tumble backwards.

" Neo-Queen Serenity?!?!" She fell with a "oomph!" and the goddess was soon by her side laughing like a joke had been told.

" No silly. I just ascended is all. It's so great to see you!" Serena giggled and pulled her friend into a very tight hug and breathed in the scent that Birdie possessed, something close to vanilla.

" What are you doing in New York? I thought you all were still in college?" Birdie grinned, happy to see them all and sat down across from Serena.

" Finished about a year ago, I think?" The silver haired girl looked to Amara who nodded.

" Yea, a year. Everyone's out and doing well in their careers. Setsuna and me opened a business called Moon Designs, ever heard of it?"

" Moon Designs? No, Prisma or Avery might of though."

" Are they here with you? I-we would love to see them." Setsuna looked around curiously, trying to hide her blush she knew the Princess had noticed.

" Oh yea! Hey Ave! Prism! Come over here and see who I found!" Birdie giggled nervously when she found the entire café staring at her with a confused look. Avery in turn grinned and laughed, Prisma blushed and pulled her sister along behind her.

" No way! Setsuna?! Amara?!…Ne-mmph!" Amara placed a strong hand over her old friend's mouth and pulled her in the seat next to her.

" Oh my, I seem to be getting that reaction a lot today! No, Prisma, Avery, it's simply little old Serena, though I'm not old." Serena giggled and winked at them flirtatiously, making them blush a deep pink in embarrassment.

" It's nice to see you again Sere! I thought we would be something like fifty before we ran into you! What are you three doing here?" Avery looked at Setsuna a bit shyly, though she grinned and that seem to hind it.

" Sere and I own a joint business called Moon Designs. Our new base is here in New York. But today it's just a shopping spree." Setsuna blushed a deeper shade under Avery's gaze and stirred her tea.

" Moon Designs?! Really?! You guys are practically famous in the designing world, even if you did just start up a year ago! I should've known it was you." Prisma gasped in her surprise, her eyes going large.

Conversation broke out among them and soon Birdie and Serena found themselves annoyed by being set next to the window. Serena sipped her latte, admiring her blue haired friend's lovely features. It was clear to her, that Birdie was single. But if she swung her way, the Princess didn't know. An idea popped inside her head at seeing her friend's bored expression and she grinned.

" Hey, Birdie." She whispered trying to sound secret and scheming, it worked.

" Yea?" Birdie had a small smile play in her pink lips at Serena's gestures.

" What say we skip this joint and leave them to wonder where we went? There so boring!" Serena dropped a hint of a whine her low whisper but grinned when Birdie nodded her agreement.

" How? They'll obviously notice and then all of our evil plans will be wasted."

" Take my hand, we'll blink out!" Serena grinned more at her confused look, but took her hand.

With the four chattering, no one even knew two other women had sat beside the quartet talking away. Amara, Prisma, Avery, and Setsuna never noticed the two gone…

***

" Haha! A successful escape from the boredom of that café!" Serena giggled and turned in a circle, replacing her glasses on her head with a wink at Birdie.

" So where too?" Birdie felt her cheeks flush again when Serena took her hand and pulled her through the park they'd landed in.

" Well, let's just walk. Maybe we'll spot some hotties!" The silver haired goddess giggled and hooked arms with her friend.

- But I already spotted a gorgeous girl…- Birdie sighed. Oh, it's only been an hour since she'd met Serena in the café at a chance meeting, but her attraction was high. If only she had the nerve to ask her out…

" Say Birdie? What do you do now?"

" Oh, it's not like owning a business so famous as yours. I'm the principle of the Every Grade School in upper town. The school was left to me by the owner." Birdie looked down at Serena, who she was taller than by an inch, and looked surprised to see the interest and surprise in her glacier eyes.

" Really?! Wow, do you teach to? Your job must get hectic with so many students!"

" Yes, I do teach. First grade actually. It does get hectic, but we're on spring break right now. I love it." Birdie felt the hold on her arm tighten and she didn't mind one bit.

**
The sun was falling over the sky, making it turn fabulous pinks, oranges, and light purples. Birdie and Serena had walked away the day, the blue haired one being the princess's tour guide of the city. Surprisingly neither of them were tired. But as Serena got out of the cab and ready to walk up to the Code Hotel, she turned to say goodbye.

" Goodnight Birdie. It was great touring the city with you. I hope I get to see your school before the week's over and we have to leave." Serena had a sad look at the thought of leaving, but smiled when Birdie grinned.

" Of course you'll see it! Thanks for company today…Serena, I don't know if you- well, would you like to go out tomorrow night?" The girl in the cab looked hopeful and blushed and looked away shyly.

" A date? Really?! I'd love too! How about eight?" Serena felt her heart pound lightly, something she hadn't felt in awhile.

" Perfect! Goodnight Sere!" Birdie grinned goofily when Serena gave her a sweet peck on the cheek and ran up to the villa styled hotel.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***

Amara moved out from her room and looked confused at her leader. She should be angry for her and Birdie skipping out on them and worrying her to death, but the happy smile on her Princess's face told her to wait. After the silver haired one spilled why she was so happy, then she could be angry. Setsuna came from her room too, already dressed for bed.

" What's with you? You seem oddly happy Princess." Setsuna plunked down in an overly stuffed chair with some more tea in her hands, sipping it now and then.

" I've got a date!" Serena sighed in ecstasy and swayed into her room to change.

" A date? Who would she find so soon just to break their heart? This could be bad. You don't think it's Birdie do you Sets? I'd hate to see her hurt." Amara felt concern wash through her, Serena had a bad track record with the girls she's dated and gotten in relationships with. Their heart's always ended up broken.

" Could be, I think that's the only person she's been with all day after they left us at the café so rudely." The garnet haired Senshi sighed and looked up through the skylight she just noticed.

" When did that skylight get there?" She wondered tiredly, all that talking to Avery wore her out, though she'd been happy to do it.

" It's been there forever Setsuna. For being my guardian of time, you don't pay much attention to your surroundings anymore. I think you need more training." The princess came out of her room in black boxers and a baggy gray shirt with a cotton blue robe hanging open, her hair down. She walked over to the wall that separated the kitchen and living room. It had a large round half circle cut out with a counter. Amara handed her some cocoa and she plopped on a light green couch.

" So who is that this date is with?" Setsuna arched a brown at her and sipped her tea daintily.

" Birdie, we plan to go out tomorrow at eight." Serena looked back at her friends as they gave her a weird look, Amara now in the other blue chair.

" What?! Stop with the creepy looks!" Serena shrank under the gazes and was relieved when they shook their heads sadly.

" Your going to break her heart Sere! Your record is horrible when it comes to relationships with girls!" Setsuna gave her a motherly look, which she knew annoyed the hell out of her princess.

" No I don't! Name one!" She gulped, somehow she should have reminded herself not to say that.

" Bridget."

" Anne."

" MJ."

" Jeannette." Both Amara and Setsuna drawled on until Serena got mad and told them to stop.

" Alright already! But I really like Birdie! I'm not going to break her heart!" She was getting very ticked off by this conversation topic, even if it was true.

" You will though! What happens when the week ends and we leave for Japan? What then, I doubt you can hold a long distance relationship together with her. I don't want Birdie's poor heart torn to pieces like the others!" Amara felt very protective to the other woman when it came to Serena dating them, she loved her Princess, but her ways of dating would make anyone worry. Especially now it was Birdie, who happens to be Prisma's youngest sister, who Amara happened to like.

" I'm not going to hurt her! You've no faith in me! By my orders, this conversation is over until otherwise stated by me alone!" Serena hissed venomously and stalked into her room where her doors slammed shut behind her. The two Senshi stunned in the living room were knocked from their state when a gust of energy penetrated the walls and knocked into them.

In her room, Serena pounded her fluffy soft bed with a pillow, obviously angry. When her aggressions had been dealt with she tore off her robe and laid angrily in bed. Soon enough she relaxed to a point of rational thinking and frowned during her thinking.

- Will I hurt her like the others? I don't want to, but what if it's unavoidable? I can't hurt Birdie…- With her last thoughts to accompany her to the land of dreams, she fell into a slightly fitful sleep.
