Chapter 22!
In answer to a question yeah Darien knows he Tuxedo mask and the whole situation he just doesn't remember that one night where he found out.
Serena unlocked the door to find Darien on the floor.
"Oh my gosh. Darien! Are you all right? Can you hear me?" Serena asked as she fell to her knees and lifted Darien's head
"How do you take a pulse?" Serena asked herself as she put her fingers on his nose than ear then forehead.
"My hand Meatball head." Darien mumbled
"Ah!" Serena yelled as she dropped Darien's head on the floor
*Sweat drop*
"Oh Darien, I'm so sorry, I thought you were dead!"
"I'll be fine, Darien said as he tried to get up but go dizzy and fell back down
"Are you all right?" Serena asked
"Why?" Darien asked suspiciously (he's a little different. Cuz of the slight memory lose.)
"Because, I'm worried about you." Serena said as she helped him up, she took him to the couch
"Do you want something to drink?" She asked as she brushed the hair out of his eyes
"No Serena, I'll be fine." Darien said
"Let me get you a blanket then I'll leave you alone." Serena said as she got a blanket out of the closet. It was a heavy cotton blanket with stuffing; it was white and really big.
"Here." Serena said as she placed the blanket over him
"Sure you don't want me to take you to bed?" She asked
Darien nodded his head no, for some reason there was something about Serena, he knew something about her but couldn't place it and it was really making him tiered.
"Serena?" Darien asked
"Hmm?" Serena asked as she got a cold compress (the old fashion kind.)
"You don't have to wait on me, I'm fine really." Darien said Serena smiled as she filled the compress with ice.
"I know I don't have to. I want to because I care about you." Serena said as she smiled
"As…. What?" Darien asked curiously as he looked around the room, scared to look into the eye's because he would know the truth.
"A friend, a brother too." Serena lied, her heart was racing, she wanted to tell him everything but knew it wasn't safe to tell him about Sailor Moon or about her feelings, if she told him about her true feelings she'd just be opening herself up for hurt.
'I wish it was more.' She thought
"Let me get you something to drink." She said as she got up boiled some tea along with some cookies and 2 teacups, she placed them on a tray and brought them out.
"Here." She said as she poured the tea in to the small cup and handed it to Darien
"Thank you." He said as he took the cup and drank it but then spit it out
"What's wrong?" Serena asked
"How long did you boil this? It's so hot!" Darien said
"Sorry." Serena said
*sweatdrop*
"Ouch." Darien said as he looked at his burned finger
"Oh here." Serena said as she took it and blew on it, she looked up into Darien's ocean blue eyes as he moved his eyes from his finger to her, Serena immediately let got of Darien's hand and it fell limply.
"Better?" Serena asked, not taking her eyes off his
"Yes. Thank you." Darien said the room became silence, a very awkward silence; Darien cleared his throat then coughed.
"Oh did I tell you? There's going to be a big winter dance." Serena said
"Oh that's great, when is it?" Darien asked
"Next month but I still don't know if I'm going." Serena said
"Why not?" Darien asked
"Well I've been thinking of getting a job after school so if I had one then I wouldn't have time for a silly dance." Serena said
"Why do you want a job? I give you money to spend. And you're in no condition to work." Darien said
"Darien lot's of pregnant women work." Serena said
"But you wouldn't just have the job, there's school and homework and your friends." Darien said
"All I'm doing is just thinking about it." Serena said as she went into the bedroom, she sat on the bed and sighed
"Silly dance." She repeated as she took out a flyer to the dance from her coat pocket
'I want to go so bad.' She thought as she took out some homework to do, when she was done she took a shower then brushed her hair. As she was doing this so looked into the mirror.
'I'm so tired.' She thought. When she came out of the room Serena went by Darien's side.
"Want me to help you to bed?" She asked
"No, I think I'll sleep on the sofa tonight." Darien said
"You still fell weak?"
"Yeah a little." He said
"Ok, I'll let you sleep." Serena smiled as she took the tray that held empty teacups into the kitchen
"Good-night." Serena whispered as she turned off the light and went into the bedroom, Darien settled down and found a comfy spot, he opened his eyes to a foggy kingdom like place, and it was desolate and dark. Just then someone whisper his name
"Tuxedo Mask." The female voice whispered
"Huh? Who's there? Show yourself!" Darien yelled
"You must find the Imperium Sliver Crystal; it's the key to everything. I fear the Negaverse is closing in on it and if they poses it then the world as we know it will be destroyed, you must hurry" The voice whispered, Darien tried to make out her figure but couldn't, all he could see what her hair was like Sailor Moon's (Meatballs) and she was wearing a pink dress with rose's (the dress Serena wears in the episode "worth a princesses ransom" and how the girl is dressed in most of Darien's dreams.)
"Show me you face." Darien repeated
"Please find the Imperium Sliver Crystal." The girl repeated
"Then we can be together once again?" Darien said
"Yes, Tuxedo Mask we can't let them win, please Tuxedo Mask, help me, help me be free again." The girl said
Darien woke up in a cold sweat, even though the dream seemed like minute in reality hours had passed.
"She looked like the girl I met when I went to Princess Diamond Embassy Party, when she presented her crystal." Darien said she got up and went out to the balcony; he looked up at the stars as he leaned on the fence thing on the balcony.
"Will we ever meet again and then be together princess?" he asked as he looked up at the stars.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena opened her eyes and looked up at the clock.
"Ah! I'm late! She said as she ran around the apartment searching for her school uniform
"Darien have you seen my uniform?!?!" Serena yelled but got no reply, she stuck her head out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in her mouth and then read a note Darien had put on the kitchen counter
Serena,
I had to go to my first class, the extra house key is by your uniform, and I won't be home till late since I have work right after school.
- Darien
Serena crumpled up the paper and continued to run through the apartment looking for her uniform, she finally found it on top of the dresser with the key right next to it. She put it on and then her deodorant and fixed her hair then ran out the door. She ran down the streets of Tokyo, even though her leg had a cramp but she continued to run as fast as possible.
"Ouch!" she yelled as she tripped on a stick. But didn't stop to cry, she was too late so she kept running
"Ouch!" She yelled again as she tripped over her shoe. Finally she reached her school, she ran through the main doors and into her homeroom
"SERENA YOUR LATE!" Miss H yelled (I know I said she was 15 but it was a typo Serena' fourteen. Sorry!)
"Sorry Miss H! There was a traffic jam!" Serena said as she did that bowing thing you do in Japan when you apologizing
"You don't even drive! You need to get your act together young lady!" Miss H yelled as she handed Serena detention slip
"Now class I'd just like the mention before we start that we hope to see some of you parents as chaperones, we've sent out letter's asking them to be.
*everyone but Miss H sweatdrop's*
A girl raised her hand
"Yes Sara?" Miss H asked
"My boyfriend doesn't go to this school, can he still come?" The girl asked
"Yes, you came bring a date from any other school, or you can come alone and dance with your parents and teachers." She said
*everyone but Miss H sweatdrop's again*
Serena rested her head in her crossed arm's that where atop the desk. She was able to get a few Z's until Miss Haruna (that how u spell it?) noticed
"SERENA!" She yelled in Serena's ear
"No Darien!" Serena yelled as she shot up
"Oh, who's this Darien?" A girl asked
"You mean you have a boyfriend?" A boy asked
"Hey he's friends with my brother and he's in his first year of college, he's 4 year older than you!" The girl said
"I've seen him around, he's dreamy." Another girl said with stars in her eyes
"Serena, I thought you totally despised that guy! Is he the father?" Molly asked
"Of coarse Molly I mean he is her boyfriend! Right Serena?" a girl with ebony hair and blue eyes said (most people in school know about Serena.)
"That's enough!" Miss Haruna yelled
"He reminds me a lot of Tuxedo Mask." A girl said
"ENOUGH!" Miss H yelled again, much louder
*Everyone Sweatdrops*
"We're not going to discuss Serena's personal life in class again!"
Miss Haruna started telling about upcoming events and talked about the play but nobody was paying attention. Just then the bell rang.
"Ah there's the bell, you mustn't be late and Serena I'll see you after school." Miss Haruna said
"Yes Miss Haruna." Serena said as she got up and went to her locker; she put her books into her locker and took out her Spanish books then slammed the locker.
"Hola Serena." The Spanish teacher said
"Hola Seniorita Aronica." Serena said as she took her seat next to Lita
"Hola Serena! Como Estas?" Lita asked
Serena laughed uncomfortably and put her hand behind her head
"Huh?" She asked as Lita sweatdroped
40 Minutes Later
"Adios." The teacher said a she class rose except for Serena,
"Can we go Lita?" Serena asked
"Yeah Serena." Lita said, Serena and Lita walked to there lookers then off the Gym class.
"Don't you think it's a little weird that Mina and Raye and Amy aren't hear today?" Serena asked Lita in the locker room
"NO!" Lita said trying to cover up, she was the one who had to go to school that day while the girls did a fire reading and tried to find more out about the upcoming attack.
"All right class! Today we're going to play volleyball!" The gym teacher announced
*Serena' sweatdrop's*
"Volleyball *laughs* do I uh have to play?" Serena asked, the gym teacher came up to Serena,
"That or lose you point's for the gym class." She said
"Oh why didn't you say so?" Serena said as she took a seat on the sidelines
"Serena, if you don't have at least 40 point's for the week then you will get detention." Lita said
"Relax; I just won't sit out the rest of the week." Serena said
Lita spiked the ball again and got the winning point.
"Yes!" Lita said as her classmates came up to her and gave her a high five
"Ah!" Serena yelled as the ball bounced next to her.
*everyone but Serena sweatdrop's*
"Class dismissed!" The teacher yelled
"Finally! I'm starving! Come on Lita." Serena said taking Lita's arm as they went in the girl's locker room.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena walked out of the school doors and sighed, finally she was free to go.
"I thought detention would never end." Serena said to herself as she walked down the sidewalk, she passed the elementary school just as the kids where getting out, suddenly Sammy appeared in the doorway. He looked at Serena in astonishment, like he hadn't seen her in years but of coarse Serena was in her own world and wasn't paying any attention.
"Serena!" Sammy yelled
"Huh?" Serena said as she turned around
"Sammy!" She yelled as she hugged him
"Hi!" Sammy said, for once in his life he was happy to see his older sister.
"How have you been?" Serena asked
"Good." Sammy said, getting shy all of a sudden like he didn't know how to act around her
"Hey I was just about the get an ice cream want to come with me?" Serena asked
"Yeah cool!" Sammy said
"But, I'm kinda short you think you could buy me one?" Serena asked
*Sweatdrop*
"Serena!" Sammy yelled
Serena smiled sheepishly
"You haven't changed a bit!" He said as he laughed
"Ok but just this once!" he said as they walked to the parlor
"So how are mom and dad?" Serena asked
"There good. Mom mostly mopes around the house and dad acts like you never existed." Sammy said as he took another lick of his ice cream
"What do you mean mopes?" Serena asked as she took a bite of her ice cream and creamed because her teeth got cold
Sammy laughed
"You're such a Meatball head! Well I mean she keeps herself busy you know but when there's nothing left to do she goes up to you room and just sits on the bed and looks at pictures of you." Sammy said
"Why don't you call?" Serena asked
"Because dad ripped up the number after he and mom had a fight." Sammy said
"Mom and Dad had a fight?" Serena asked
"Yep, about you, she keeps begging him to let you back and I think he's cracking. Why haven't you called?" Sammy said
"Because I thought you guys had moved on and I was scared dad would pick up." Serena said as she started eating the cone
"Here, I'll give you the number again." Serena said as she wrote down a number on a napkin.
"Thanks Serena, hey I got to go, mom and dad must be worried!" Sammy said
"Want me to walk you home?" Serena asked
"Sure but be on alert that dad could come and run you down." Sammy said, Serena got up and took her bag and her and Sammy walked to her old house, when they reached it Serena sat on a chain in between bars as she had all those times.
Sammy was about to say goodbye when the door started to open, Serena saw it and started to get up and prepare to run.
"Serena it's just!" Sammy started yelled
"Got to book it Sammy! Call me later!" Serena yelled as she winked and looked back at him as she ran away, Serena's mom came out.
"Sammy where have you been?" She started but saw what Sammy was watching, it was Serena looking back at them and then she tripped because she wasn't looking where she was going.
"Sammy is that Serena?!?" She asked
"Yep." Sammy said
"You were with her all afternoon?" she asked
"Yeah, we got ice cream." Sammy said
