Howdy howdy howdy! I'm back and here's another chapter. Thanks for
reviewing, please continue to do so! I had to finish my Algebra homework
before I could continue -.- I hate the part that we're on. Anyway, I'll
shut up and type more of the story so you can enjoy. Or maybe you won't.
Who knows. ^-^' Anyway, here goes.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own Sailor Moon 'cause I was too busy
doing my Algebra homework and Naoko Takeuchi got it first. Stupid
Algebra.... -.- I bet Naoko doesn't even need to know Algebra! *sigh*
Readers look at her and one pipes up. "Life's not fair. Get over it." Uh
yeah... Thanks...

Darien sighed. He had meant to talk to Serena, but the words just wouldn't come out. He watched as she walked over to her friends, stayed for a minute, and then walked out of the lobby, supposedly to her room. Out of the corner of an eye he saw some movement. Conner was leaving too. Good riddens. Darien rolled his eyes. That guy caused more trouble than he was worth.
He looked around for all his friends. They seemed preoccupied, talking to their newfound friends in Serena's group. He didn't really mind it, but he felt lonely. 'Maybe I should go talk to Serena.' He thought.
'What makes you think she'll talk to you?' A voice in his head seemed to sneer.
'Well nothing, I was just hoping...'
'Hoping what? She likes Conner you idiot. Get over it already.' The voice snapped.
Darien sighed and walked out of the crowded lobby, making his way towards his room. He yawned and looked around. The boat sure was fancy. Suddenly there was a screaming noise, cut off by a door slamming. He rushed to where he heard it. He looked around the hallway. He couldn't figure out which room it was from. There was another faint scream, "GET AWAY FROM ME!" It was coming from room 124. He rushed to the door and jiggled the handle. It was locked. He'd have to force his way in. He backed up as far as he could, ran, and took a flying leap in the air, his foot aimed towards the door. ************************ "Stay back Conner!" Serena warned, quickly picking up an object to throw, which happened to be a bar of soap. Her crystal blue eyes were filled with fear.
"What, you're planning to attack me with soap? I already took a shower today, thanks." He said, continuing towards her. She threw the soap at him and he ducked and it went whizzing over his head.
Serena continued to back up and bumped up against something. The wall. She was trapped. She looked around, desperate for an escape. There was no way out, who knows what he was going to do with her. She should have never let him kiss her in the first place. How she wished for Darien at this moment.
"Come on Serena, I'm not going to hurt you..." Said Conner with an evil glint in his eyes, reaching her and pinning her to the wall. She trembled like a leaf in the wind. She had had enough.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed, attempting to shove him away, but it was no use, he was too strong. Her ears perked up. She could have swore she heard the doorhandle jiggle.
Conner's lips advanced towards hers. She struggled against his firm hold. There was only one choice left. With all of her might she kicked in an upwards direction. Conner's eyes got big and he gasped, crumpling to the floor. He couldn't breath, the wind had been knocked out of him. He tried to speak, but all he managed was a small squeak.
Just then Serena heard a faint "HIYA!" and the door came crashing in, along with a Darien wearing a puzzled yet curious expression. When he saw what was going on, he wasn't sure what to do.
"Darien!" Serena cried, hopping over the speechless body on the floor and running to him, her arms wide open. She threw herself on him and latched her arms around his waist, crying. "Thank goodness you're here!"
Darien's expression turned to one of anger. He watched Conner as he made an attempt to stand. "Get out." He ordered him.
Usually Conner could have made an exceptional match against him, but he was preoccupied at the moment, so he heeded Darien's orders and made his way out the door as quickly as possible without adding more pain. After he was gone Darien turned his attention to the frightened girl that was hanging onto him.
"It's ok Serena, he's gone now." He said, wiping the escaping tears that were rolling down her cheeks away with a finger. She nodded and held in the rest of her sobs. She sniffled a few times.
"I was so scared." She said. Darien could feel her quivering.
"It's ok." He said, stroking her hair. He couldn't imagine how it felt to be in that position. Helpless and vulnerable, open to anything a guy could do.
Serena finally calmed down to normal. "Thank you." She said. "Who knows what could have happened if you hadn't..."
"Shhh." Darien shushed her. "I don't want to think about it, and I'm sure you don't either."
She nodded and gave him a hug. "Thank you." She released him.
"I guess I'd better go to bed." He said, and turned to leave.
"Okay..." Said Serena. Now that he was leaving she felt insecure again. "Good night."
He turned and gave her a heart warming smile. "Good night Serena." He said, and walked out, closing the door behind him. Serena locked the door. She sighed and turned off her light and slipped underneath the warm covers of her bed.
*******************
The next morning she awoke feeling rather peaceful. She yawned and got out of bed, and took a change of clothes out of her bag. White shorts and a red tank top. She turned on the shower and waited for the water to get warm. She took her Pantene Pro V shampoo, and her Morning Glory body wash into the shower. She remained in the luxurious shower for about 20 minutes, enjoying the warm water and clean feeling. She finally got out, dried off, and got dressed.
She put her sandals on and headed for breakfast, locking the door behind her. Once inside the Dining hall, Serena smelled the mouth-watering aroma of pancakes, eggs, and fried potatoes. Every one was sitting down at tables already. She was always late for the meals. She sighed and went and got her food and sat down with her friends, although their table had enlarged. It seemed Darien's friends and her friends were sitting together, talking to eachother. They hardly noticed her sit down at the end of the table.
She sighed and started eating. A minute later a plate was set down in the seat across from her. She looked up.
"Glad to see I'm not the only one who was late." Serena said, grinning.
"Yeah well, I was up all night saving teenage girls from their worst nightmares." Darien said with a wink.
Serena blushed. She had almost forgotten about that. She shivered involuntarily when she thought of the horrible incident. She just hoped that weirdo wouldn't try anything else. Darien seemed to read her thoughts.
"Don't worry about it Serena, surely he's not so stupid as to come back for more." He reassured her.
She smiled gratefully. They were silent for a moment and then she spoke.
"It seems your friends have become friends with my friends." She said. (AN: A rather confusing sentence there. ^.^)
"Yeah. They look so happy. We should do this more often." He replied, referring to having both groups together. Serena nodded in agreement.
"So what's on the agenda for today?" She asked, forking eggs into her mouth.
"Well, I'm not quite sure, but I think we're having a pool party." He said thoughtfully.
"I didn't know this ship had a pool." Serena stated.
"Well, your parents own it, you should know." Darien said,grinning ear to ear.
"My parents never tell me anything. Infact, they hardly talk to me at all anymore, they're too busy. They even forgot my birthday last year." She said, heaving a sigh.
Darien shook his head in disbelief. How could parents forget their child's birthday?
"It must have been rough." He said. "When is your birthday anyway?" He asked.
"It's in a few months, June 30." She told him. "When's yours?"
"August 3rd." He said. (AN: That's when my b-day is too! I feel honored to be born on the same day as Darien! ^-^)
They fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts. They remained that way for the rest of their meal, until the pool party was announced.
"The pool party will be held at the pool at 12:00, we'll be having lunch there. You have free time until then." Gary was announcing. "And to all of those that are still wondering, yes, Mr. Green is still feeling.... rather green. Have fun!" He said and sat back down at his table.
"Wow. We have a while until the party." Serena said.
"Yeah. It'll probably be boring. What are you gonna do?" Darien asked.
"I hear there's a library on the ship, I'll probably go read." She answered. Darien nodded.
They went their seperate ways, Serena to the library, Darien to his room. Serena stared at the door. It was awesome! It was a glass door with a see- through Swan in the reeds. Serena opened the door and walked in, looking back at the door. She bumped into something and fell backwards, landing on her backside with a thud.
"Ouch!" She exclaimed. She saw she had bumped into one of Darien's friends, scattering her books all over the place. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" She said, helping the blue haired girl pick up her books.
"It's ok, neither was I. I was too interested in this book." She said, pointing to what happened to be Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Serena smiled. "I'm Serena Tuskino." She said, offering a hand to the girl.
"I'm Amy Mizuno." She took Serena's hand and shook it.
"So you're one of Darien's friends?" Asked Serena.
"Yeah."
"I take it you like reading?"
"Yeah, I love it, I figured someday I might be a writer. But I decided to be a doctor instead." Amy said confidently.
"Really? That's so cool! I wouldn't have the guts to see all that blood and stuff." Serena said with a giggle.
Amy smiled. She liked this girl. She was actually very friendly, despite Darien's rumors about her.
"Well I'd better go." She said, smiling, "I have to study."
Serena almost fell over. "But It's spring break!" She exclaimed.
"I know, but I have to study hard and get good grades to become a doctor." She said. "I'll talk to you later."
"Bye Amy!" Serena waved until Amy was out of sight, then she began to look for a book, roaming up and down the hallways. She picked one out, and was looking through it when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey Sere..."
