Disclaimer: I forgot to throw this in with all of the previous chapters.
So this goes for all of them. I do not own Sailor Moon. I do not own any
of the characters mentioned within. I do not own the movie "Signs" or the
freaky aliens in that movie (Thank God!!!) And anything I forgot to
mention... I really don't own much... a few Taekwondo uniforms... I do have a
car though... But the bank still owns 90% of that thing... So... yeah... I'm
poor. Don't come after me.
Ice Cold Escapades Chapter 4
I pushed my frozen body closer and closer to the bedroom. My pajamas are meant for show... not for warmth. They're nice for Darien to see... he seems to enjoy them... but lace and silk nighties just won't keep you from freezing. And the sad thing? I wore the nighty and didn't even get a reward for it. I was fast asleep hours before Darien got home from work. Too bad... It has been months since we've been able to spend time together like that. You see what happens when you have to work and be a super hero? You personal life goes to pot!
Just as I reached the doorway to our bedroom, the cold won. I collapsed in a cold heap in the middle of the hallway. A cloud of cold air escaped my blue lips as I stared blindly up at the ceiling. I sucked in a deep, shuddering breath, wondering if it would be my last, and then I heard the front door open. It slammed loudly and I heard my beloved drop all of his belongings and come racing through the entryway.
"Serena!" He bellowed. "Where are you? Are you okay?"
He hurried around the corner and into the hallway and gasped when he saw me lying in a heap on the floor. "Oh sweetheart..." he murmured as he scooped my limp form into his arms and carried me into the bedroom. "I'm so sorry I didn't come. I felt you transform, but I was running so late already... I figured I'd just ignore the feelings unless I felt it get more urgent. Raye called me just as I was running out to the car to come find you. I would have been here sooner, but there are so many car accidents thanks to the storm. I didn't know if I'd reach you in time..."
"It's okay," I whispered, pulling myself closer to his warm chest. "You're here now."
"I've got to get you warm!" He deposited me on the bed and threw the down comforter over me. He tucked the edges beneath me and then stepped into the bathroom connected to our room. I heard him turn the water on in the bathtub before he reappeared.
"Let's get you out of that lovely nightgown and into that warm water," He said as he sat down next to me and pulled me into a sitting position.
"You just want to get my naked," I teased, my teeth chattering together violently.
He grinned. "The thought crossed my mind, but I'll have to save that for later."
Within moments he was carrying me through the bathroom and he slowly began to ease me into the water. I cried out as the hot water scalded my cold skin. Tears flowed down my clammy cheeks and I had to clench my teeth together to keep any more sobs from escaping. A worried look was plastered to Darien's smooth features.
"The water is only room temperature, Serena. It only hurts because your skin is so cold. It'll feel better soon."
He was right. I settled myself further into the warm haven as my skin began to return to normal. My teeth stopped chattering and my convulsive shivers stilled. And as all of my pains disappeared, my humor returned.
"You know what?" I shifted my body among the bubbles, squirming to get into a better position to see Darien. "The girls were talking just before I left. They said I might have hypothermia. What do you think, sweetheart? Do you need to treat me for hypothermia?"
He looked up from where he had been staring at the tiling with a mocking look on his face. "I highly doubt you ha-" Then he froze as my meaning slowly dawned on him. A mischievous grin spread across his face and a fake thoughtful twinkle entered his eye. "You know what, I think there might be a risk here. I should begin treatment immediately."
I watched hungrily as he removed his scrubs and slipped into our large jacuzzi bathtub. He straddled my hips between his knees and gently brushed his lips over mine. His arms slid down around my waist and he settled his body against me with a contented sigh.
You know what? I guess freezing isn't so bad. That is, as long as you can have the same "after-freezing activities" as I did. And boy are those activities fun! And long lasting! And refreshing! Eventually the bath water got cold and we had to get out, but that comforter of mine makes a nice, warm tent when you need one!

Author's Notes: That's it. I hope it was okay. I might go through and redo this story a little bit some other time. I'm I could add a few things here and there. But for now, that's it! It's over! Full circle! And it only took me... what?... three months? Two months? Sorry about that.
I've got a few stories floating through my head that I'm just dying to post and see what you guys think. I'll probably post two or three different stories and whichever I get the best reactions from I'll continue on with. And if I get good reactions for everything I post, I'll just keep posting!
The story I mentioned at the end of the last chapter is a real tear-jerker. I've got the entire thing mapped out in my notebook and I'm going to try to post the first chapter of it ASAP. It's about Darien getting a serious illness and him and Serena having to deal with it and all of the ordeals that come with it. I haven't decided if it will have a sad or happy ending though. Do you guys like sad endings that make you need to have a box of Kleenexes or do you like happy endings that make you breathe a sigh of relief? I'm going to have to ponder this one...
I have this horrible urge to sit here and tell you every single story plot I have in my head that I'm going to post, but I don't want to ruin any surprises, so please keep reading!!
I want to take a quick moment to thank the people that reviewed me while I was trying to post this thing and finish it.
Venus Willow – You were my first reviewer ever!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And thanks for the comments!
Tokyo Queen Go-Go – I kept writing! Just like you told me to! What do you think?
Serene Ice Mage – I know you wanted to cuddle up to Darien before, what do you think now? I wouldn't mind having a Darien around when I'm cold... shoot...
"Bored" – umm... thanks? Bored with the story or bored in general? But thanks for the compliment!
rakusaa2 – Sorry my updates took forever. But at least I put two chapters up at once, right? I hope you like it!
Priya – I'm still talking to much! You see how long these author's notes are? Hahaha I'll learn to hold my tongue eventually... but for now... hey! Author's privilege, right?
Okay. I'm off for now. Thanks guys!! Please review and don't forget to throw marshmallows in with the flames!
