---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- It was two weeks later and Ken was working in the office as usual. Damon walked in carrying a case of take-out and a cup of old coffee. They had been pulling an all day job and it was getting late.
"Is that all you are eating?"
"Sadly so Ken. I don't cook too well so I have been living on take out."
"How do you feel about a home cooked meal tonight? I am sure Irene can set up an extra plate for you."
"That sounds even better that Sgt. Peppers Chicken surprise!" Putting the food in the trash Damon looked on the evening with eagerness.

Serena was walking home from another meeting at the temple with Richie and she tried not to let the evenings passing get her upset. Darien was slowly getting on her nerves. Not only had he been insisting on going out more but every time she mentioned she was doing something with Damon he would give her a million reasons not to. It was her life not his. They had talked about it before and she was free. She could see whoever she wanted. Why was he making their friendship so difficult?
"What's wrong Serena?"
"Guys Richie. Promise me that you won't be a pain when you get older."
"I will try my best Serena." A playful mood settled on the pair and when the rounded the corner Serena was a bit surprised to see two cars in the driveway. "Do you know whose car that is Serena?"
"Not a clue Richie. Dad probably has dinner guest over." When they walked in Serena was pleasantly surprised to find her father talking to Damon in the hallway. It seemed they had just gotten there too. There was no mistaking the smile on his face when he saw Serena.
"Hello Serena. If you don't mind I will be staying for dinner this evening."
"I don't mind at all. It is good to see you again Damon."
"Serena, why don't you show him to the living room, Richie can help your aunt with the dishes tonight."
"Okay Dad. Damon if you will follow me?" Serena placed her coat on the hanger and she was very aware of Damon following her. When they reached the living room Damon pulled her into his arms and gave her a big hug. Serena was so caught up in the moment she forgot her fears and kissed Damon. When the moment ended both of them were taken by what had happened. "I guess this throws our friendship out of the window. I am sorry I shouldn't have done that!"
"No, I would have started it if you hadn't."
"Lets just be glad Dad didn't see that. He would most likely have killed you for touching his little girl." Damon could only laugh at her remark.
"Why don't you show me around your house? It seems we have a while before dinner."
"Okay. Well, this is our living room. You will find every picture of my family in here. My mother likes to show us off."
"Really? Which ones are of you?"
"Lets see. These are my kid pictures and I believe." Serena was looking around the mantle for a more recent picture while Damon was wondering around himself. A picture caught his eye and he was transfixed to the spot. "Oh you found it! Remember how I said I used to have a very unique hair style that everyone made fun of. Well here it is. Trust me I was glad to go short for a while." In front of them was a picture of Serena in her school uniform and the bun and ponytail hairstyle. Damon was reeling inside. So Serena was Serenity all along! Serena's warm hand brought him back to reality and his mind was planning already. Half the job was done she was already falling for him, she was practically his.
"Damon is everything okay? You went kinda spacey there for a second. Mom said dinner is ready."
"Oh, well I guess you had better lead the way."

Dinner went by with great ease and Damon made his move at the end. Before leaving he asked Ken if he could take Serena out on a date later that week. With a little mind control Ken said yes. Damon would need her alone in order to do what he planned. She would have to turn to him of her own free will, with a little help from the black crystal of course. He left the Turner household and made his way to the apartment as fast has he could. When he got there he contacted Wiseman and told him his plan.
"Everything is going according to our plan your Highness. I will have that crystal to you soon."
"Good. Finally I will have everything I deserve."

Serena happily stuffed her face with another of Lita's bon bons. This summer was going great! The girls had gone to the spas for the day and Serena looked on with amusement as Rei dunked Ami for studying on their day off. Mina just watched Serena intently.
"Serena, is anything going on?" Mina raised a questioning eye to her friend.
"Yeah, good question. Darien has been bugging the heck out of you and yet you are so happy what's up with that?" Lita loved good gossip.
"Nothing. I just have a date tomorrow that's all."
"I knew it! Am I the Senshi of Love or what! Serena is in love!"
"Am not! I just really like the guy."
"Who is he?" The rest of the group slowly surrounded Serena and Mina. This was getting interesting. Even Ami was asking questions.
"His name is Damon. He works with my Dad at the paper. Now if you will excuse me do I have to divulge all of my personal life to you?"
"Yes!!!!" Ami, Rei, Lita, and Mina all started splashing Serena until she gave up but by that point they had forgotten what they were going to ask.
