Epilogue
She nervously stood backstage, peaking out behind the curtain every once in a while, watching as the seats kept filling up.
The room was filled with hundreds of record producers, agents, and even families who decided to come and watch the performance tonight.
Ten of Julliard's finest singers were here to perform tonight. Serena and Darien being two of them. And lucky for them, they got to sing together.
Serena exhaled and inhaled loudly, clearly stating she was nervous.
But then she felt arms encircle her waist, and she was pulled into a very warm, and hard, but soft chest, and she felt a pair of lips being placed lightly on her neck.
"Serena, you need to calm down. It won't do you any good to get worked up like this," Darien said smiling, at how cute she was when she was nervous.
"Yah, but what if I do something really stupid, like trip…"
"Then I'll catch you," Darien laughed.
"Darien… I'm being serious."
He spun her around to face him, his arms still around her waist, and hers now resting against his chest.
"Listen to me…" he started seriously, "You are going to do great. And you know how I know?"
"How?" she asked quietly.
"Because I know you, and I know what kind of voice you have. I know it's the most beautiful voice in the world… next to mine of course," he smirked.
"Darien…" she laughed, hitting him playfully on the arm.
He smiled down on her, before continuing, "But seriously, I love you, and it doesn't matter what happens tonight, who picks you and who doesn't, this is all just for fun. Just think of doing it for all regular people. One's who don't even know anyone who belongs in the music business. You got it?" Darien asked smiling, though very serious.
"I got it," she nodded. "Oh and Darien?"
"Yah?" he questioned looking down at her.
"Thanks, and I love you too."
He smiled at her, and slowly brought his lips down to hers, both ignoring the call of the curtains being lifted.
Serena slowly slid her hands up his chest, past his shoulders, and let them linger lightly on his face, before combing her hands through his soft hair.
Darien's arms tightened around her waist, pulling her more closely.
Serena took the initiative and lightly her tongue came out of her mouth, and licked Darien's bottom lip, eliciting a small groan to come from the back of his throat.
His tongue pushed hard against hers, tasting her, and finding her sweetest spots.
But then they both faintly heard something… something that sounded like clapping… and cat calls.
They slowly broke apart, only to be faced with well over a thousand people, on their feet clapping, for the now very embarrassed couple.
The two slowly walked off stage, still in a state of obvious shock.
"Darien not that I don't love you or anything," Serena started as they were off stage, "But that speech you just gave me… totally went down the drain."
"Rena, honey… I know that was probably pretty embarrassing for you, but it was quite an experience for me. At least now we know we'll be comfortable in the public's eye. I mean, they sure seemed to enjoy it."
"Don't you find that a little… I don't know… disturbing, that they get a stimulation watching us kiss, when they should be getting that at home… in their own bed," Serena said, her voice sounding a bit deadly.
"Um… well… yah, maybe…" Darien was getting quite nervous at the voice his girlfriend has just changed to.
"You're kinda cute when you're nervous," Serena laughed lightly, walking to her dressing room to get changed.
"You did that on purpose!" Darien accused, though laughing lightly. He ran after her, spun her around, and pinned her up against the wall, next to her room. "It was kind of sexy though," he grinned down at her.
"Oh really? Did it turn you on Darien?" she smirked.
"Maybe…" he trailed.
"Well, I suggest you take care of it, cause I gotta go change."
And with that she was out of Darien's arms, and into her room with her door locked all before Darien could perceive what was going on. When he got his wits together, and realized he was no longer holding his girlfriend, he fell against her door, producing a loud thud.
He heard a small yelp, followed by peals of laughter.
"This isn't funny you know. To leave your boyfriend like this."
"You know I love you sweetie!" she laughed, walking around her room throwing on her clothes, and then she went to sit at her make up mirror.
"And for some reason I love you too." At this sentence he heard a scoff from the other side of the door. "But, this is kind of mean, you know?"
"I do. But I promise after the show, you can have me all to yourself," she said opening the door that he was leaning on, causing him to stumble into her, but she caught him, and he her, before they could fall.
He steadied himself before taking a look at the dress his girlfriend was wearing. It was a strapless satin black gown that hugged her upper body, and flowed out at her waist. Lightly touching the floor. And a pink piece of satin, that started at mid chest, and flowed out to the bottom, in a triangle shape. She wore black heels on her feet, and a clear/pink heart crystal necklace that Darien had given her for her birthday this past year. Her hair was let down and curled, and she had on a sweep of pink eye shadow, mascara, and lip gloss, mixed with a pink lipstick to give a little color.
"Wow…" Darien breathed lightly.
"Thank you," Serena laughed at his shocked expression.
"Wow…"
"Is that all you can say?" Serena smiled.
"Wo-.huh?" he asked, coming out of his shocked state.
"I'm glad you like the dress."
"Very much," he nodded, smiling a charming smile at her.
"Well?"
"Well what?" he asked confused.
"Aren't you going to go get dressed?"
"Oh yah!" he said running to his room.
Fifteen minutes later found Darien coming out of his room, his tie still undone.
"I can't tie it," he answered at Serena's raised eyebrow.
"Let me get it," she smiled coming up to him, closing the distance, till her face was mere inches away from his; their chests lightly touching.
She reached up her hands, and skillfully tied the tie for him.
"Thanks," he said once she was finished.
"Not a problem," she smiled, pecking him lightly on the lips.
"Serena…" he groaned, reaching out his arms to wrap them around her.
"Come on honey… we're on next!" Serena exclaimed excitedly.
"Alright, I'm going," he stated, sighing.
"I love you Darien," she whispered.
"I love you too, Serena," he smiled at her, putting one arm around her waist, leading her out to the middle of the stage.
The audience realizing that it had been the couple from before began to clap loudly.
Serena smiled, though blushed a bright red, and Darien just grinned.
He gently let go of her waist, so they could each retrieve a microphone, from the stands.
"Hi," Serena smiled, still trying to get over what happened earlier. "I'm Serena Kingston."
"And I'm Darien Anderson," Darien nodded, smiling at them. "Tonight we'll be doing a song by Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachay, and it's called 'Where You Are'."
As the audience sat down, slowly stopping their clapping, the music started.
Serena:
There are times.
I swear I know you're here.
When I forget about my fears,
Feeling you my dear.
Watching over me,
My hopes seek.
What the future will bring,
When you wrap me in your wings,
And take me…
Where you are,
Where you and I will be together…
Once again…
We'll be dancing in the moonlight,
Just like we used to do.
And you'll be smiling back at me.
Only then will I be free,
When I can be,
Where you are…
Darien:
And I can see your face.
Your kiss I still can taste.
Not a memory erased.
Serena:
Oh, I see your star.
Shining down on me.
Both:
And I'd do anything,
If I could just,
Be right there…
Where you are…
Where you and I will be together,
Once again…
We'll be dancing in the moonlight,
Just like we used to do.
Serena: And you'll be smiling back at me
(Darien: And you'll be smiling back at me.)
Only then will I be free.
Then I will be free
Serena: So take me where you are…
Darien:
Now baby there are times when selfishly,
I wishing that you were here with me.
So I can wipe the tears from your eyes and make you see…
That every night while you are dreaming,
I'm here to guard you from our fall
Both:
And any time I feel alone,
I close my eyes and dream of…
Where you are…
Where you and I will be together
(Darien: We will be together baby…)
Once again…
We'll be dancing in the moonlight
(Serena: We'll be dancing in the moonlight…)
Just like we used to do.
And you'll be smiling back.
Only then I will be free…
Then I will be free.
Baby I still believe.
(Serena: Oh got to believe.)
(Darien: Got to believe.)
I will touch you that sweet day,
That you take me there…
(Serena: Where you are…)
I still believe,
I will touch you that sweet day,
That you take me there…
Oh… where you are…
Cause only then I will be free…
Where you are…"
At the end, Darien caught Serena's eye, and smiled sweetly at her, before taking her hand, and they both bowed, to the audience, who was once again on their feet.
"Thank you," Serena smiled, as she and Darien put their microphones up, and walked off the stage.
"So? What did you think?" Serena asked, once they were off.
"I think you did wonderful," he said drawing her into a hug.
"Well, I think you did wonderful, also," she smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Well, are you ready to take on those producers?" Darien questioned.
"More than ready," Serena grinned, kissing him on the lips.
Once pulling away, he said "I love you Serena."
"I love you too Darien."
Well there you have it. That's the end of this story you guys. I want to thank everyone who stuck through that one. I love you guys. You all make my time writing stories worth while. Thank you!

Me- And you're right, I really don't know much about Julliard… I was more for acting there, than singing there, but it's the only good dance school I know, so, I thought, why not? But thank for you review, and your input, I will probably need it for a future story (reference). I appreciate it.
