(I would like to state a typo in the last chapter. At the end, Serena

talks about Darien coming on a Friday. I had made some changes and

missed that one. He is showing up on a Tuesday, hence, one eventful

week.)

The next morning, Serena walked to school, wondering when the news

would hit. Turning the corner, she saw her friends ahead of her.

Jogging to catch up, Serena called out.

"Guys! Wait up!"

"Hey Serena! Did you here?" called Rei as Serena approached.

"Here about what?" *not that I don't already know,* she thought to

herself.

"Darien Sheilds has just arrived here this morning! The news says that

he is here visiting his home town for a while," said Lita.

"I didn't know this was his home town," comented Ami as she looked up

for her book.

"You know, I don't think I knew that either, and I have got to be like

his biggest fan."

"Mina, it's not a very well known thing. He even lived in this area

and graduated from our school, what was it, three years ago," said

Serena, before she snapped her mouth shut. *Man, I have way to much on

my mind,* she wailed at herself.

"Really! No way. How come no one remembers?" squealed Mina.

"I think the better question," started Rei, "Is how do you know,

Serena?"

"I... Well you see... It's, um...," she sighed. "Guys I can trust you

right. I mean I can really trust you right?"

"Serena, of course you can trust us!" said Mina.

"Sere, you know we would never tell anyone anything you didn't want us

to," said Lita.

"Serena, we are you best friends, and you know that," said Ami

quietly.

"Besides Meatball Head, what's the point of a big secret if you can't

share it with friends?" laughed Rei.

"Guys," gulped Serena "except for Rei, thanks. I really just needed to

hear it," she said, winking at Rei.

"So, Serena, what do you know?" begging Mina as they continued to walk

to school.

"Ok, the first question is how I know all this. Well you see, he lived

down the street from me. Our families are good friends."

"No way! Do you guys still keep in touch?"

"Yes Mina, we do. See, before I net all of you, we were best friends,"

continued Serena as her friends crowded around her as she walked. *I

hope this a good idea.*

"Meatball head, I don't know if I can believe all this. It is just so

unreal."

"You know Rei, now that I think about it, I think I remember seeing a

picture somewhere of Sere and some guy. I think he did look like a

younger Darien."

"The one in my drawer Lita? Yep, that's Darien and I about 3 and a

half years ago. It was taken a few months before he left for college."

"And then 2 years later, Darien and Serenity appear and top the

charts."

"That reminds me Ami, Sere, do you know anything about Serenity?"

asked Mina.

"Yeah, what about Serenity. Have you met her? Do you know anything

about her? Is her real name Serenity?" questioned Lita.

"I.. Uh.. Well.. *sigh* Guys, why don't you come over tonight? Maybe

around 9-ish. I know that's a little late, but since we are at

school," she points to the entrance a couple yards away, "I really

can't say any more. People just can't over hear you know?"

"It is a little late, and I should be studying, but I think this once

I will pass over the books for this little bit of fun."

"Ami, I thought I would never hear you say something like that. But I

agree, I will be there too," said Rei.

"Me too!," squealed Mina and Lita at the same time.

"Right, then I will see you then. And please, this is a really

important secret for me. Don't forget you promised."

"Meatball head," said Rei as she wrapped her arm around Serena, "you

know you can trust us to keep a secret."

*After tonight, I really hope you guys can* thought Serena as she and

her friends walked into school.

(I thought about ending here, but I have decided to continue on to the

night time get together, well at least part of it. ; )

At the sound of knocking, Serena left her spot on the couch to answer

the door.

"Honey," called her mom from the kitchen, "I've made plenty of snacks

for your friends. I even managed to remember a few of you know who's

favorites as well."

"Thanks mom!," Serena hollered as she opened the door to four very

excited girls.

"So, about Darien and Serenity..."

"Can it Mina. At least give meatball head a chance to let us in the

door."

"She's right Mina, that was such a horrible display of manners."

"Besides," said Lita as the girls walked into the house, "do I smell

some of yo9ur mom's snacks? I swear she is the only one who can cook

better then I can."

"Why thank you Lita," said Serena's mom as she walked out of the

kitchen and handed the girl a tray covered in snacks. "I hope you

girls enjoy your night, and Serena?"

"Yes?"

"Please tell you final visitor that I said hello."

"I.. I will mom," chocked Serena on her cookie as her mom headed

upstairs.

"Final guest?" asked Mina, as the girls seated themselves in the

living room.

"Yeah, I am expecting a friend to show up sometime tonight. Doesn't

know when work will be over, you know?"

"But Sere," pouted Lita, "I have so many questions about Darien!"

"Yes," added Ami, "and about Serenity as well."

"Yeah Meatball head come on and tell us..." started Rei, before the

sound of knocking on and the opening of the front door opening

interrupted her.

"Sere? Hello? Anyone home?" called out a deep masculine voice.

"In the living room," Serena called out, taking a deep breath.

"You know Serenity, you really shouldn't leave your door unlock like

that at this time of night," said Darien as he walked into a room with

4 wide eyed and very speechless girls.
