Serena swept out of the room with her loose hair flowing down her back. She got to the main room and instead of seeing Andrew on the couch it was Darien. Serena was a little taken back from the mistake but she put on a smile any way. Besides it wasn't that hard for her to look happy an instant smile had spread across her face as Serena saw him though she didn't really know why and the thought of it made her blush. Just as she felt the tingly hotness of the blushing filling her cheeks Darien turned around.

"Wow Serena you look.....awesome!"

"Thank you Darien you look good too"

Serena took a spot beside Darien on the red velvet couch. As the two started talking they didn't notice Mina and Raye looking on as they chatted.

"See Mina, what did I tell you great chemistry"

"I see Raye. Wow they're really deep in conversation. It's almost a shame that Andrew will be here tonight too but we can't stop that she is dating him after all."

"Yes I know and she needs to choose between them"

"Well she can't choose if she won't recognize her feelings for Darien first."

Serena looked up from the couch "What are you to talking about so heavily? Raye do you want me to take over there I mean you're not going to eat dinner in that are you?" Serena looked critically over Raye's frumpy frock and black hair knotted in the back. Compared to Mina's beautiful floor length blue dress Raye looked like she was a poor little street child.

"You're rite Serena. I can't very well wear this and Andrew should be here soon so I guess I should get ready."

"I know."

As Mina went back to cooking Darien and Serena went back to their conversation. They were so rapped up in it that neither heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it!" called Raye as she swept out of her bedroom in a knee length black velvet dress.

Raye answered the door to Andrew with a big bouquet of flowers.

"Hey Raye"

"Hi Andrew come on in"

Andrew walked in but Serena was still deep in conversation with Darien and didn't even reply when Andrew said hi....twice!

"Um Serena, hello earth to Serena" said a very upset Andrew

Serena turned in with an obvious look of annoyance on her face, "What do you want! We are trying to....OH MY GOSH! Andrew I am so sorry I...I didn't even...oh gosh I am so sorry!"

"That's ok Hun you were obviously deep in conversation. By the way these are for you. Hi Darien how are you."

"I'm fine thank you"

The dinner went along seemingly perfect to Andrew but he didn't notice all the glances that Serena gave to Darien. Or that small blush that everyone noticed when Darien's hand rubbed against hers while passing the butter. As the dinner was finished Andrew rose and said he had to leave to do homework Darien also said he regretted but he had to leave.

"Oh ok then good bye Andrew" replied Raye

"Good bye Raye, Mina. Bye Serena...."

Serena looked up and replied "Good bye Andrew I'll see you tomorrow"

Andrew leaned over to kiss her good night but at the last second Serena turned and he kissed her cheek. Andrew left looking slightly upset and Darien stepped up to say good night.

"Well thank you for the lovely dinner you guys"

"Our pleasure. Come back anytime you want" replied Mina

Darien looked down at Serena and deep into her eyes "Oh don't worry I will"

Serena looked up and blushed a deep crimson "Good Darien"

Darien walked out of the apartment and turned at the last minute to look back at Serena for a brief instant. As soon as he left Raye and Mina turned to Serena

"You like him admit it!" accused Raye

"What! I don't know what you are talking about!" shouted back Serena

"Come on Serena! We saw you tonight you totally love him! Why is it so wrong for you to admit that?" questioned Mina.

"Because I....It's just that....OH OK! I LIKE HIM OK....I AM IN LOVE WITH DARIEN CHIBA!"

As Serena said this she didn't notice Darien standing in the doorway. He had returned because he forgot to grab his car keys as he headed out the door. Forgetting about the keys Darien ran to Serena spun her around and planted a huge kiss on her. Just then Andrew returned he had decided to come back and see what was wrong with Serena but had walked in right in the middle of Serena and Darien's kiss.

"WHAT THE HELL!" he shouted "GET THE FUCK OFF OF MY GIRLFRIEND!"

He spun Darien around and punched him right in the face

"OH MY GOSH! DARIEN! ARE YOU ALRIGHT! ANDREW WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" screamed Serena without thinking

"What do you mean what did I do that for!? He was making out with you! You're mygirlfriend not his or did you forget?"

"No...but I...."

"Come on Serena you like him don't you? Please tell me you don't"

"I...I...I'm sorry Andrew"

With that Andrew turned a left the room practically running. He beat Serena to the elevator and it closed in her face. She had to get to Andrew she had to make him explain! She pushed the down button and the elevator doors popped open as she stepped inside and the doors began to close Darien appear and stepped inside with a huge bruise already forming on his cheek.

"Serena I have to talk to you" he said while pressing the emergency stop button causing the elevator to screech to a halt.

"Darien...I have to get to him and ...."

"And what? What are you going to tell him?"

"I'm going to tell him that...that I can't see him anymore because...because I am in love with another man. A man that I have been in love with for awhile now but I just haven't seen it."

"You mean that?"

"Yes Darien Yes I do."

"Oh Serena you don't know how happy that makes me"

"I'm so sorry for him hitting you that looks very painful"

"That's alright I don't care about it all I care about is that I have you in my life now and that is all that matters from now on. I love you Serena Usagi."

"I love you Darien Chiba."

All was forgotten as Serena and Darien stood in the elevator kissing for at least an hour. When they finally left the elevator Serena called Andrew and broke it off. She was finally free to be with the one she truly loved. Serena had found her one true love.
