Hi there!! Moonchild here. I am back with the next chapter to the tale. I hope you enjoy. Oh and you know the drill I don't own Sailor Moon so no sueing just reviewing.

**************************************************************************** ****

We finally made it to a doctor's office. A doctor I had never even heard of. I was actually kinda hoping that he would take me to see Dr. Anderson since she knew me, but then again if he had Ami would have found out. I wonder if they'll be mad that Darien of all people talked me into going to the doctor. Rei is going to kill me probably. She really likes Darien and here I am in his car after being in his living room. I don't think she's even been in his apartment. Finally the thoughts in my head stopped when I heard.

"Hey Serena, come on!! You made it this far. Don't stall now."

"Oh sorry Darien I'm coming."

With those words I was about to jump out of the car when I saw Darien's hand reach for mine. I grabbed his hand and he helped me out of the car. I didn't understand why he was being so sweet to me. Was he just feeling sorry for me? He was such a pest to me until that day when I nearly collasped in front of him. I had no idea of how sweet he really could be. I must admit I did enjoy his company when he was like this. The only problem with this was of he just felt sorry for me when I got better he'd turn back into the jerk that Rei hung around with and then they'd both call me Meatball Head again. He has actually been calling me by my given name. I don't think he ever called me that until yesterday. Why did he have to be such a jerk to me until I got ill. Why did I even care if he was a jerk or if he would always be kind to me?

"Serena are you in there?"

"Huh?"

"I said the doctor is ready to see you now."

"Oh okay."

"Do you wanted me to go with you?"

"Yes I do you."

"Well then give me your hand."

With that we went down the hallway hand in hand. I could feel my cheeks turning redded each second. Thats when it hit me. Oh My God!! I think I like Darien. I didn't need to think about it right now. I needed to think about the doctor. We found are way into a room with all this doctors stuff that scared the hell out of me. They weren't going to use that stuff on me...were they?

"Serena, are you alright? You turning pale."

"I'm just nervous.....what do you think they are going to do to me."

"Well probably check your heart beat and maybe take some blood."

"BLOOD?!?!" I almost yelled as I could feel the color leave my face.

"Calm down Serena Dr. Gibson is very kind."

"Can't be that kind if he wants to stick me with needles."

I finished trying to jump off the seat when I felt Darien grab me before I could.

"Serena you are not leaving now!!"

"Watch me!!"

He held me down pretty tight and I kept squirming out of his hands. I don't know how long ths little battle lasted, but I knew it ended with a lady walking in saying...

"Shall I give you to another minute before I start my examination."

We both turned red as his hands left my waist and I calmly sat down into my chair.

"That's better now. I'm am doctor Alden and I will be the one examining you today."

"Dr. Alden I thought Dr. Gibson was the examiner here."

"Well he is for male patiences and I am here for the female patience. They find it more comfortable this way."

"Oh so that's why I got Dr. Gibson when I come here."

"That's right."

When heI said that I began to wonder why he would be here. He has been confussing me with this. First he knew my symptoms, second he turned pale after carrying me, third he knew what the doctor was probably going to do, and fourth he had been here to see a doctor. What was he keeping from me. I'll have to ask him later. Right now I need to do what the doctor tells me and run like hell if she trys to take blood from me.

"Now Serena I need to take off your shirt and pants so you can put on this hospital night gown."

I looked at the night gown and then at Darien. I then began to glow.

"Don't worry Serena I'll leave the room so you can change. Just give me a yell when you are done changing."

"Thanks Darien."

When he left I changed quickly. I wanted him back in the room. I was really nervous and he seemed to keep me calm. When I got done putting it on I called for him. He immediatly came back in. I was pulling on the back part for dear life. (If you have ever had to been in one of those awful revealing gowns w/ no back you'd understand what I mean.)

"Having troubles Serena?"

"No, just do me a favor and don't get near my back."

"Why?"

"I am just having a little trouble keeping it close."

I was redder than I think I had ever been with that one little commit. He just laughed. He is so cute when we laughs!!

"Okay now Serena I am going to check you heart beat I want you take a deep breathe inward."

I did as the doctor said.

"Good now breathe out."

Again I did as she said. She did that several times near my chest and then several times on my back.

"Hmm very interesting."

"What is it doctor?"

"Well you heart sounds fine except it is skipping beats."

"Skipping beats is that bad?"

"Actually everyones heart skips beat just not that frequently."

"Well what does that mean?"

"To be honest I'd have to do more test to figure that out."

"What kind of test?"

"Well I'll only do two on you today. I am going to put a heart monitor on you and I am also going to draw some blood."

There went that b-word again. I was shaking as she went through the drawers to find a needle. I wanted to run, but I knew Darien would just catch me. I began to start shaking until I felt Darien grab my hand.

"Squeeze my hand if you feel any pain Serena."

How sweet was that!?! I did as he said. I know I squeezed like there was no tomorrow when she put that needle in the vein in my arm. I wanted to scream, but I didn't. I wanted to cry, but I only a few tears fell out of my eyes. When they did I felt Darien's hand not holding my hand wipe the tears away.

"There now Serena was that so bad."

"No doctor, but it would have been alot harder without Darien."

When I said those words Darien gave me a sweet smile. He was even blushing a little bit. He is so cute when he was blushing.

"Okay Serena now I need you to remove your gown while a place the heart monitor on. After that you are free to leave."

"When will I be able to take it off?"

"You come back in 24 hours and get it removed."

"When will the results come back?"

"It'll take a week for all of the results to come back from both test."

"Ok."

"Now remove your gown."

I looked at Darien.......and blushed.

"Don't worry Serena I am going."

When he left Dr. Alden put the monitor on me. It was so uncomfortable. There were five lil sticky thingies hooked up to my chest and a box thing at the the end. The box had a button on it.

"What's this do?"

"Press that button whenever a pain hits you in the chest."

"Okay"

"You can get dressed and come back tomorrow."

"Wait are there anymore rules."

"Just two. One, don't take that thing off and two, don't get it wet."

"How do I bathe?"

"Most of my patiences wash their hair in the sink and put lotion on there bodies."

"Oh ok. Thank you Dr. Alden."

"You're quit welcome oh and by the way your boyfriend is really cute and sweet. Consider yourself lucky."

"But......he's.......not....."

It was too late to explain she was already gone. I got dressed. I hated the way you could she the monitor trying to poke out of my clothes. There was no way that Darien would find me attactive like this. Oh well, I guess there isn't anything I could do. When I walked out of the room I saw Darien waiting on me.

"Ready Serena."

"Yah."

"Hey since you did taht I'll take you to get ice cream and then to a movie."

"Really!!! Like a............date?"

"Well I guess you can say that. You coming."

I didn't answer him. I just smiled and grabbed his hand. We went to the movie first. I was surprized when he agreed to go to a chick flick like "The Sweetest Thing." When I looked at him in shock when he agreed to it go to the movie he smiled and said.

"With a scary movie you probably make the monitor explode."

"Hahaha real funny."

"I thought so."

After the movie when went to this outdoor ice cream shop and got two chocolate ice cream cones. I wanted to tell him I like him, but I didn't know how. When I was about to say something it began to rain. Before I could say anything he threw is jacket on me, grabbed me, and ran to his car.

"Darien?!?"

"What you can't get that thing wet can you?"

"Yeah you're right."

We made it to his car. He drove back to his house. When we got there and walked he sat me down and checked to see if the monitor and I were both alright. The closer he got to me I saw he was pale again.

"Darien?"

"Yes Serena?"

"Are you alright."

"I am fine Serena I was more concern about you."

"Why have you gotten so concern for me?"

"Well do you think I was heartless?"

"No......I was just wondering."

"Well I really dunno...you just looked really pitful......."

"Pitiful? Pitful? Pitful? You were saying you just felt sorry for me!?!"

"Yes.....I mean NO!!"

"Oh, I am leaving I can't believe I ever thought you were sweet!!!"

I was about to storm out of the apartment when I felt his hand grab mine.

"Serena that is not why I've took care of you?"

"Then why!!!!"

"Because I like you.......and I wanna protect you."

"Darien.......I............"

Before I could finish what I wanted to say his lips touched mine. We kept kissing very sweetly. It was my first kiss so I wasn't exactly sure what do do, but I just followed his lead. When we stopped kissing he looked at me and smiled.

"What were going to say Serena."

"'Um I forgot. What time is it?"

"Eight o'clock why?"

"Oh my God!!!!!! I have to be home in at Eight thiry I have to go."

"Well I'll take you home Serena."

"Sowwy Darien, but since it stopped raining I should probably walk. No offense to you but, my daddy wouldn't be too happy to meet you. Bye Darien!!"

"Bye Sere."

When I walked outside I realized I never asked him why he was so pale and other things. I wanted to know before I went home so I began to knock on the door.

Darien's POV

**********

When she left my house I layed on my couch. I felt the color begin to leave my face. I was sick. I knew exactly how she felt. Her chest wasn't the only one in pain. Her heart wasn't the only one skipping beats. Why didn't I just tell her that? I suppose I really want to protect her and how could I possibly tell her if I was sick too? I couldn't keep it from her though. The next time I saw her I was going to tell her the truth. My thoughts were instantly broken when I heard knocking at the door. When I answered it there was Serena. She looked at me sweetly and concerned and said...

"Darien we need to talk."

"Yes Sere....we do."
