Darien walked slowly toward his house, if he was going to do this he was going to do this right. He planned it all out. He would call the florist to deliver flowers to her house, with a note. Get her used to the idea of having an admirer, and then he would drop hints that he was the admirer. He couldn't wait. He reached his apartment. He opened the door and stared at his almost spotless apartment. It didn't feel right, he sighed, and the last time he was in this room he was mourning the loss of Serena. Beat up and totally insane, I think that summed everything up perfectly.
Darien took off his shoes; Serena wouldn't be home for an hour. He turned on the television. The show was about the girl and the guy running like what seemed like forever. You know those types of shows. Darien is about to fall asleep when the phone rings.
Darien yawns. He picks up the phone. "Moshi Moshi, this is the Shields residence."
"Hello Mr. Shields." The voice answered. "We would like to meet you tonight, and would you please bring along your girlfriend."
'What girlfriend?' "Who are you?"
"Someone important, just meet me at La Fairy." The voice said.
"Not unless you tell me who you are." Darien argued.
"What a temper, just like your father." The female voice said.
Darien went speechless.
"Now do you want to meet your parents or not? You better bring your girlfriend." The person hanged up.
Darien stood confused, his parents? Weren't they dead?
Rini stood next to Sailor Pluto. Pluto asked, "Why did you do that?"
"It is a decoy to see who Darien will choose, his new found family or Serena?" Rini replied.
"I thought you knew already who he was going to pick." Pluto questioned.
"I do, but since I changed the past I have to see if it really is our Endymion or a new form of him." Rini stared at Pluto waiting for more questions.
"Oh, okay then," Pluto stated.
Darien sighed. Maybe Serena could help him. Maybe he could just deliver the flowers himself. This would ruin his plan. It couldn't kill him, but would it kill Serena, again? He left his apartment on the 15 minute journey to Serena's house. Then a question popped into his head, will she be as accepting as last time? Last time she had death effecting her decision. I guess he could figure it out himself.
'Gulp,' this was her street, now this is her house. Flowers in hand, he walked up to the door. He took a deep breath and knocked.
"I got it," could be heard from inside followed by someone running down the stairs. An exhausted Serena answered the door. "Hello… oh, hi Darien." Serena sighed could her night get any worse.
"Serena…could we um…talk?" Darien questioned. He looked to see if Serena saw that he didn't call her meatball head, she noticed.
"Well, I guess so." Serena stepped outside and closed the door, she looked beautiful.
"Serena, I got these flowers for you." Darien was blushing and I mean profusely.
"Thanks, Darien." Serena read the card.
Dear Usako,
I write this note, hoping you could give me another chance. I have and will always love you. I know that I have been mean, but it was because I was afraid to say anything else. I was happy just to run into you everyday, I started to run into you on purpose. I hope you can look past who I pretended to me and see me for who I really am. Can you love me back?
Sincerely,
Baka, Darien.
Serena gasped. She looked up at him. "You wrote this to me?"
"A little more frank, but yes. I was planning as acting as a secret admirer for awhile, but that plan didn't seem it would work out that well. I thought you would think it was Andrew." Darien looked at the ground, he was too afraid to look at her.
"Andrew? Why would I think it was him, he is dating Mina." Serena smiled.
"Oh," Darien said.
"All you want is another chance?" Serena questioned.
"Yes, that is all I want." Darien smiled.
"Then…….
Sorry. Cliffhanger. What will Serena say? Will Darien meet his family? Stay tuned next week for the next chapter. Please remember to review.
