Ahhhh! I am sorry it took me so long, but here it is! Wait- it's only been a week and a half! *throws a party* Well, anyway, please read, and tell me what you think (aka review!)
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, however unfortunate that may be.

Chapter 3

Serena and Darien both sat, leaning against the wall. Amy let out an exasperated sigh from across the room. She snapped her computer shut, and turned to face the others.
"I can't seem to figure this one out." A worried look adorned every face, if Amy couldn't figure this one out, who could?
"Alright then guys, time to regroup. You," Mina said as she pointed to Serena, "Out."
"Why do I have to leave?" Darien asked.
"Because we have important things to discuss!" Raye retorted, "Go lock yourself in the bathroom for a few minutes, we'll come get you in a bit."
"There is no way I am leaving my body in here with the four of you!" He argued. Six sets of eyes dared him to argue further, including Luna. He knew he was defeated.
"Now out with you!" Darien was about to ask where the bathroom was, but Lita had him pushed out of the room before he could utter a word. The door slammed in his face, and he lifted his hands in defeat.
"Serena, honey, is that you?" Darien froze.
"Uh, yes?" He said, turning to face Serena's mother.
"Are you ok? You seem a bit out of it." She said, complete with a worried motherly look.
"Yes, uh, fine. Just tired."
"You sure?" Darien nodded, "All right then. Are you friend's staying over tonight?"
"Yes, if that's ok?"
"That's fine; just don't stay inside all day, ok?"
Darien nodded, still suspicious, as that was too simple. He then turned around and headed down the hallway.
"Where are you going Serena?"
"Bathroom."
"You sure you're ok?" Obviously this was not the way to the bathroom.
"Yeah, positive! I was kidding, you know, ha-ha?" Darien saw no other option, so he slipped back into Serena's room.
"DARIEN! GET OUT OF HERE!" Raye shrieked.
A knock on the door followed her words. Darien looked at the others and mouthed the word 'mom'. Serena glared at him and dived underneath the bed, misjudging the distance, and the size of Darien's body. A loud 'oof' followed her attempt. Amy quickly threw a blanket around her protruding legs.
"Is everything ok in here?" Serena's mom asked, incredibly curious, "I thought I heard you yell something about a certain Darien, Raye. Isn't that the one that is always teasing Serena?" She watched as Serena's eyes hardened, but took it to symbolize hate. "You must have misheard me. I am terribly sorry for being so loud." Raye apologized, looking earnestly regretful.
"Oh! Well alright then, I just guess I am as out of it as Serena today. I wonder where she got those genes. Well I'll be downstairs; I trust you girls are staying for dinner?"
"If we are invited?" Amy asked.
"Yes, of course dear." She turned to leave, noting the misplaced blanket, "Serena, please pick that up! How man times do I have to tell you?" With that she left, and descended the stairs. Rays groaned.
"A little help here?" Darien's voice was muffled and distorted. It took Lita and Raye to pull her out from underneath the bed.
"Man!" Lisa exclaimed, "You really wedged yourself in there!"
"It's not like I did it on purpose!" Serena shot back.
"Apparently you're a klutz, even in my body!" Darien mocked.
Before Serena could retort, Amy cut in.
"Back to business."
"What was so important that you couldn't discuss with me here, anyway?" Darien asked, with what was probably supposed to be a cocky smile across his face.
He received no answer, the others deep in thought. Finally Mina sighed in defeat.
"We are just going to have to talk with him here."
"I will not allow that!" Luna screeched, "Do you realize how much danger that could put you girls in?"
They rolled their eyes.
"Luna, we've been over this a thousand times!" Serena said.
"Not with another person present! You hate him, Serena! And now you are just going to trust him?"
"Luna calm down! Breathe kitty, breathe! I was just saying that we don't seem to have another option right now."
"I still don't understand what the big deal is."
"Back to where we left off," Lita said with a wink, "We are going to have to manage with out Serena."
"You act as if we need her! She's the one that always gets us into trouble!" Rei exclaimed.
"Me? Who's the big head?"
"You."
"Actually-"
"Can we get along for five minutes here, please?" Lita requested.
"What if Serena feels... left out? Does this feeling follow her heart, or mind?" Amy questioned.
"My heart." Serena softly said.
"That could be bad."
"Yeah..." She said, as if her train of thought had drifted elsewhere. Darien secretly wondered what had changed her mood so drastically.
"Well, don't worry about it! Well kick butt all the way to the Negaverse! That's a promise!" Mina said enthusiastically.
All heads snapped up to Darien, and indeed, his eyes were wide with comprehension.
"I love Sailor Moon!" Serena said dreamily, hoping that Darien would mistake them for crazed fans, "She's so cool!"
"You are incredibly obsessed." Rei rolled her eyes.
"But that Mars Scout is so stupid."
"Yeah right! You only wish that you were half as cool as gorgeous and strong as she is!"
"Strong and gorgeous my butt! At least Sailor Moon had Tuxedo Mask!"
"Or does she?"
"I wonder if he would appear if Sailor Moon wasn't there. Does he only come for her?" Amy wondered, "And what side is he on?"
"First and foremost he wished to protect Sailor Moon." Darien said, then quickly, "I read it in the paper."
"You like Sailor Moon Darien? Darien's Sailor Moon obsessed! I would have never guessed!" Serena taunted secretly extremely happy that her enemy liked at least one form of her, even if it was unknowingly.
"You made something rhyme, Meatball Head! I am impressed!"
"Shut up, Jerk!"
"So, anyway, what were so guys talking about?" Obviously Darien was thicker than expected.
"Nothing."
"Like I am going to give up that easily."
"If you must know, Darien, soccer."
"SOCCER?!?"
"Yes, soccer."
"You couldn't tell me about SOCCER? That was the big deal?"
A beeping noise halted the conversation.
"And that would be our coach! Come on guys!" Mina yelled as she grabbed the communicator and the other Scouts, "We'll give your mom some excuse!"
"Wait!" Serena cried, "You sure that you'll ok?"
Mina just winked, and shut the door. Serena slumped to the floor, feeling guilty that she couldn't help. What if something bad happened?
"Your mom can't know that you play soccer?"
"She doesn't approve." Serena said, huffily.
"Sure, so tell me again why they left us here, alone?"
"Just drop it," Serena said angrily.
"Why the sad face?" Serena just glared, but the look slipped from her eyes when a strange tingling sensation started to gnaw at her insides.

*Gasp* What is this strange sensation? And no, you perverts, it's not that! Please review, as it makes me a happy person, and trust me, I am much more civilized when I am cheerful.
