I love you guys so much! I dedicate this chappie to PisxiePam! I've decided to hold out on dare's revenge. Nothing like a lil Sere on Dare action to get me out of my writer's funk! Oh! If you want a pic of sere's dress just tell me in your review or email me!

Disclaimer: I own hundreds of the taped episodes. I own one of the wands. I own a huge poster of Darien and Serena getting married. Hell, I even own two of the dolls. Yet I don't own sailor moon. No matter how much I beg they won't let a 14 yr old own Down with Love either!

Down with Love

Chapter 14

It's Just a Little Crush

----------------------------------------------- (Serena pov)

I'm not going to call him.

If I call him he's got one up on me. But he doesn't know that. I'm a patient person. All I have to do is wait for him to call me. Just sit here and stare at the phone. I'm sure it will ring. Ring dammit ring! My hand itches to pick up the phone. I snatch it back and walk into another room. I refuse to call him! I'm sure he'll call any minuet.

10 minuets later

I suck.

Not ten minuets later my ear is glued to the phone waiting for the man to pick up. When did I even dial his number? Why did I want to talk to him so bad? Why wasn't he answering? Maybe I should just hang- "Hello?" Nevermind. "Catcher? It's Serena. Well you see I called and I was wondering if you wanted to do something later—you don't have to answer right away! I'll understand if you say no—I mean..what? You'd love to? That's…that's great! 7:30 sound good? I'll see you then!

7:30.

That gives me two hours. Two hours and nothing to wear! This is an emergency! I put on a grave face. There was only one person you could call for an emergency of this severity. The love goddess herself.

Mina.

--------------------------------------------

"Mina, its Serena. We have a 2-37 on our hands. Yes. CODE: RED." I pulled the phone away from my ear to prevent becoming deaf. I'll tell you about him later. The mission starts at 7:30. How fast can you be (dingdong)" I grabbed the phone and went to answer the door. Who the hell was it? I opened the door a crack to be on the safe side.

Only to be knocked on my ass by a bubbly blonde. "here."

How did she do that?

"Sere I'm here! How could you not tell me you were seeing someone? What will your readers think? Where did you meet him? He doesn't hate you? Is he cute?" I just watched with fascination as she asked a million questions without ever sneaking a breath. I pointed to a very messy closet and let out an overwhelmed squeak. "Help!" Mina made a tutting sound and mumbled something that sounded a lot like 'what would you do without me'.

And they're off!

-------------------------------------------------- (Dare pov)

She called me.

SHE called ME! She knows that calling me first means I've got one up on her. She's falling for me. I knew it was just a matter of time before she fell for my stunning charm and excellent wit! A voice inside my head corrected me. She was falling for Catcher. Plain, naïve, simple little Catcher. I laughed at the realization. I should have been happy but I wasn't. She was falling for my hick alter-ego. I wasn't jealous. How can you be jealous of yourself?

Than what was happening to me?

----------------------------------------------- (Sere pov)

"Yes, Mina I will tell you all about it! Thanks a lot but it's time for you to get out of my house! Next time use all of your fingers to wave at me! That's not very lady-like! Neither were those words!" I gave an exasperated sight before shutting the door.

"What am I going to do with her?"

I took one last look in the mirror to check how I looked. I was going for a simple look. The last time took me by surprise. This date I would have the upper hand.  I checked my hair to make sure my pony-tail was still up high. I just hope and pray that it didn't start to droop in the middle of our date. What a turn-off!

The bell signaled his arrival. I hope he's ready.

Cause I'm going in for the kill!

-------------------------------------------- (Darien pov)

My breath caught in my throat when I saw her open the door. How could she do that? How could she just show up and make me forget whatever I was going to say? No has been able to do that like this girl—no WOMAN can do. I held my arm out and escorted her out the door.

"Shall we?

I gave her another one of my charming smiles. I saw her let down her guard just a little. It may have been just a little, but that little can turn into a lot more if she lets it.

She'll be mine by the end of the night.

------------------------------------------ (Sere pov)

I looped my hand into his arm. He gave me a cute little smile. I had to relax a little. I saw his smile falter when I gave back a dazzling one of my  own.

"We shall!"

I could tell this was going to be another memorable date.  I snuggled closer to him and almost giggled when he stiffened up a little before relaxing again. I had caught him by surprise.

He'll be mine by the end of the night.

--------------------------------------
