Chapter 6

The next day, Serena spent her morning and
afternoon in the office talking to her professors
and doing research for her projects. The others
knowing that Serena is busy and she would be angry
if they bothered her left her alone in the office.
At about five, Serena put everything away and met
up with her family in the living room.
"Hey kitten, have you finished everything?"
Haruka asked.
Serena took a seat next to Haruka and Heather. When
she sat down, Heather hopped on her lap.
"Almost done, I just need to do a little bit
more researching," Serena replied.
"Well, we should get ready for the masquerade,"
Michiru said.
"Ok," Haruka said as she stood up. "Are you
going with us or are you going alone?"
"You already know the answer to that sis,"
Serena replied. "I have already called for a limo.
I'll see you guys at midnight."
"Ok, then," Haruka said as she went up the
stairs with the other three.
Serena sat there alone drinking tea and
flipping through the channels on TV. She begins to
smile as she imagines the masquerade. For some
strange reason, she had a feeling that this year
would be different. About an hour and a half late,
the four walked down the stairs.
"You guys look fabulous!" Serena exclaimed happily.
The three of the girls were wearing long silk
dresses
with a mask in their hands. (I'm not really good with
fashion, so imagine them in their princess dresses.)
Haruka on the other hand, had on a white tuxedo.
"Thanks!" They all said.
"We can't wait to see yours," Michiru said.
"Well, we should get going," Susan said.
"Yeah, we go to make sure that everything is
right," Haruka said.
"Ok, then, see you guys later! Bye!" Serena
said as she closed the door behind them.

"Now that I'm alone," Serena began, "it's time
to get ready!"
She ran up the stairs and took along, hot bath.
Afterwards,she puts silver streaks in her hair, making
it silver-blonde.Then she applied a little make up on
and put a little sprinkle on her face. She then changed
her eye color to silver-blue,so no one can recognized
her when they look into her eyes.Next, she fixed her hair.
Instead of putting it up in two buns, she decided to leave
it down. Lastly, she puts on her long, white gown. (Like
Princess Serenity's and Neo-Queen Serenity's dress.) She
attached white wings behind her back, making her look like
angel. By the time she finished, her whole body was sparkling,
because of the sprinkles all over her body, face, and hair.
Seeing that she'd done a great job, she went downstairs. As
soon as she arrived at the bottom of the steps, she heard a
car pulled up into the driveway. Knowing that it was the
limo, she grabbed her purse and went out the door.
When they reached Lawrence's Inc., Serena put on her
white mask and got out of the limo. The place was crowded
with well-known people. There were reporters and cameramen
everywhere. When Serena walked out of the limo, everyone
turned to look at her. Reporters start to take pictures and
everyone wondered who the girl could be. Serena smiled and
walked into the building. She took the elevators with the
others to floor 10, where the ball is to be held at. Floor
ten if the Lawrence's restaurant called 'Silver Millennium'.
It's a famous restaurant in Tokyo, with the best chef.
The ballroom is decorated elaborately with red and
green streamers, balloons, and a huge Christmas tree in the
middle of the ballroom. Many people are already there, some
are dancing and others are chatting. Serena walked around and
greeted everyone politely. She spotted her family out in the
dance floor having a good time.
After walking around for another ten minutes, she
spotted her friends talking to four gentlemen wearing black
tuxedos and different color masks. (As I said earlier, I'm
not good with fashion and I don't feel like going online to
search for dresses. So, I'll just tell you that the girls are
wearing their princess's dresses also. But keep in mind that
this is an AR fic. So this has nothing to do with the Sailor
Scouts.) Serena decided to walk up to them and see if they
will recognize her. She walked passed them and 'accidentally'
bumped into Amy. Since Amy's the nicest one in the group and
she's the only one who doesn't have a cup in her hand.
"Gomen nasai," Serena said softly as she bumped into Amy.
"It's ok," Amy said she gave Serena a smile.
Serena turned to look at the others and bow like a
politely. (Princess like.) The gentlemen bow also when they
saw her and the girls smile. Just then, a tall handsome
gentleman walked up to Serena and the group. He's wearing a
black tuxedo with a long black cape that is red on the inside.
He has on a white domino mask. (I think that's what his mask
looks like. Hehe! I have a really bad memory.) He smiled at
the others and bows gently when he looked at Serena.
"Care to dance Mi lady?" Darien asked as he held out
his hand.
"My pleasure," Serena answered as she held his hand.
Darien led them out to the dance floor and they began
to dance to a slow song. The two were slowly falling into
each other's eyes that none of them notice how close they
were to each other. Too mesmerized by this gentleman, Serena
lays her head on his shoulder. After the dance, Darien led
Serena to the balcony. They stood there quietly, looking out
the balcony. Serena began to shiver as the wind blew past
them. (After all, it's Christmas time.) Darien saw this,
pulled her closer to him and wrapped her in his cape. Slowly,
Serena turned around and looked at Darien. She can see all
the emotions and love in his eyes when she looked into them.
Darien seeing the same thing slowly tilts his head towards her.
His hand touched her face lightly as he leaned in to kiss her.
The kiss starts off lightly and got into a passionate one a few
seconds later. Serena wraps her arms around Darien's neck as he
wraps his arms around her waist.
Finally, after five long minutes, they broke off the
kiss. Both were gasping for air, but neither took their eyes
off of each other. Darien held her tighter as she lays her
head on his chest. Unfortunately, their moment was interrupted
when the music all of a suddenly turned off. They both turned to
look into the dance room to see what's going on. They see that
a man was standing on the stage in front of the stage getting
ready to speak, so they walked in and see what the man has to
say. The two stood there, with Darien's hand still protectively
around her waist.
"Evening ladies and gentlemen!" The man started. "As
you all know, this is another one of the Lawrence's masquerade
ball. They usually have the ball in the States, but this year
the two sisters decided to have it here in Tokyo."
"I'd like to introduce you all to our company's
president, Serena Lawrence!" The man said.
The crowd waited silently to see Serena Lawrence walk on the
stage. But instead of Serena, it was Susan Carson. "Evening
ladies and gentlemen. I'm Susan Carson, this company's vice-
president. I'm sorry that our president is not here tonight.
But on behalf of our president, I'd like to thank you all for
coming tonight. This means a lot to our company," Susan said.
"Now as you all know, it's almost midnight. And at midnight
we'd all take off our masks to see who our mysterious dance
partner is."
Everyone stood on the dance floor quietly, waiting for
midnight to come. Finally, ten seconds left they all began the
countdown.
"Ten!..... Nine!....................................Five!
...............Two!....One!" Everyone shouted.
As soon as they count to one, everyone took off their
masks. Serena and Darien looked at each other quietly. They
both reached up slowly and take off the others masks. Both
were surprised to see their dance partner.
"Darien?" Serena asked shockingly.
"Usagi?" Darien managed to choke out.
They smiled at each other and Darien wrapped his arms around
her small waist.
"My Usako," Darien whispered softly into Serena's ear.
Serena looked at him longingly with a smile on her face.
"My Dare," Serena whispered back.
They leaned into each other and kissed passionately.

"There you are Usagi! We've been...." Raye began but
stopped as she saw Serena kissing a guy.
The girls, along with the guys that they were talking to
earlier walked up behind Raye. They all stopped in their
tracks as they saw the two kissing passionately.
"Way to go Dare!" Chad shouted while Raye elbowed him
in the stomach.
The two broke off the kiss abruptly when they noticed that
their friends were there. Both blushed brightly.
"Ow!" Chad cried out.
"Uh... Hi guys," Serena said softly.
"Hey Usagi, Darien," The girls said in unison.
"Wow! I can't believe it, the two rivals kissing each
other passionately," Andrew said.
This comment made them blushed brighter.
"Um... Maybe we should leave them alone," Amy said.
"Yeah, I think that they'd want to be alone," Greg said.
"Ok, fine! But we want details later," Lita said as the
others nodded.
Serena gave Amy a 'thank you' look as her friends left along
with the guys.
Darien pulled Serena closer when they were alone.
"Now, where were we?" Darien asked seductively.
"We were right..." Serena trailed off as she kissed
Darien passionately.
"Here," Serena answered a little bit later.
"Ah, yes, indeed we were," Darien said.
Darien led them to the dance floor and danced the last
song. They dance quietly as Serena lays her head on Darien's
shoulder.
"You never told me why you're here," Serena said softly.
"Well, you never asked," Darien replied.
"Ok, then, why are you here tonight?" Serena asked.
"I'm here because I work here," Darien replied. "Now,
why are you here?"
"Because my sister works here," Serena lied.
"I see, care to tell me who your sister is?"
"Susan Carson."
"Oh!"
Just then the music stopped and the same man from earlier
announced that the ball is ending. People began to gather their
belongings and walked out the room. Darien led Serena down the
elevator into the lobby on the first floor.
"Do you need a ride home?" Darien asked.
But just before Serena could answer Haruka called for her. She
turns to see her family and friends waiting for her.
"No, but thanks for the offer," Serena said.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," Darien said as he
leaned in to kiss her lightly on the lips.
