Mina rolled over and mumbled, it was too early. Someone had been rubbing her back for almost an hour, slowly dragging her out of sleep. "Good Morning," a gentle male voice washed over her. 'What the hell is a guy doing in bed with me?' Mina wondered, half asleep. Then she took a minute to look around. It wasn't her room. It wasn't her apartment, even. Then she remembered the events of last night. How she had gone back to Darien's apartment and how they had made love and fallen asleep in eachothers arms. "Morning," Mina smiled. "Darien?" "Yes?" "Did you know it was me?" "I was drunk, Mina. But not that drunk. Yes, I knew it was you," "And you still made love to me?" "Yes. When we were looking for the moon princess, I kept hoping it was you. I've been in love with you since the first time I saw you." "For real?" "Of course. I only date Serena because of that whole 'destiny' thing. I don't love her. She's a cry baby and she's waaay to possesive. How could anybody love that? But you, Mina, you're gentle, caring, funny, mature and sincere.You're fantastic." "So what are we going to do?" "I can't be without you now, Mina. Not after I've had you." "But you can't break up with Serena. Then Rini will never come to be, and I couldn't live with that. Neither could you, you love that kid." "Serena knows I have to study a lot. She's never sure just how much." "What will my story be?" "Do you honestly hang out with her that much?" "But Darien... if she finds out... won't we have screwed up the destiny of the entire moon kingdom?" "I don't care... I love you Mina,I would've told you sooner... but the damned destiny thing... Mina. You're the one for me. I can't let you go now that I've tasted what out future could be. I really beleive that you are my TRUE destiny." "I love you too Darien," She leaned in and kissed him deeply.

"DAAAARRRIIIIEEENNNNN," Came Serena's call from out in the hall. Had Darien locked his door last night? Serena tried the door. It was locked. The two on the bed breathed a sigh of releif. "I'm pretending I'm not home," Darien breathed. "Don't move." Mina nodded. "Come on Darien!!! I can hear you moving! Get up sleepy head and let me innnnnn!" Darien gave Mina a look that said, 'See how I cannot love her? ANNOYING!' Serena jiggled the door knob again. The two heard Serena make a loud guttaral scream and stomp down the hallway and yell at the elevator. "He is supposed to be MY boyfriend!!!!" resounded down the hallways.

"And you still want to do this with me?" Mina shifted under the sheets. The sheet fell tightly over her curves. The ones Darien had caressed and kissed only hours ago. Darien laughed and kissed her again. "You shouldn't have to ask."
