THIS IS AN IMPORTANT NOTE!!! LAST TIME, I ACCIDENTALLY WROTE THAT THIS STORY TAKES PLACE IN THE R SEASON, HOWEVER THAT WAS A MISTAKE! I MEANT TO SAY, IT TAKES PLACE BEFORE THE R SEASON! LIKE, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WHOLE SERIES! THANKS TO KAYLA TSUKINO FOR POINTING THAT OUT!

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

Hi everyone! As usual all reply to your reviews, and then on with the story! Quick note, if you haven't guessed already, this is a Serena/Darien fanfiction!

Kayla Tsukino: As I have already said, this will take place at the beginning of the series, I think even before she met luna. There will be no Negaverse in this story, or any of the scouts.

bunnybunny: You brought a really good point up, and as I already said, this story will not have the Negaverse in it, or the scouts or anything. Thank you for reviewing!

Crystal: Thanks!

"Where is she?" Darien said angrily, "It's already ten after four! When I catch MY little bunny..."

"Don't worry about it Dare! I'm sure YOUR little bunny will be here soon!" teased Andrew.

"Andrew, what are you doing there? You scared me, and Meatball Head is not MY bunny!" Darien retorted.

"Don't worry about it Dare, I won't tell a soul! Besides, Serena is always late, I'm sure show up shortly!" Andrew promised.

"Yeah I guess your right! But, if you tell ONE single person I will..." threatened Darien, only to be cut off Andrew once again promising he wouldn't say anything.

The both of them sat together and waited, while Darien explained what happened that morning. Finally, the store had to close. Darien walked home and to say the least, he was furious.

The next day...

Serena's P.O.V.

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

Rising out of bed at the ungodly hour of seven in the morning, she checked the bathroom mirror, and was pleased to see that she had big bags under her eyes, both from staying late, and from waking up early. She then put on a hooded sweater, and torn jeans. She kept her hair down, and to put it simply it was a mess. Plan B was well on its way. As she walked the stairs, her mother glanced at her worriedly. Her only excuse was that she wasn't feeling well, and needed fresh air. She even decided to skip breakfast. She covered her head with her hood, so no one would notice her, and walked all the way the arcade. With the hood covering her eyes she walked right into the jerk himself, Darien Shields.

"Oh my goodness! What happened to you Serena!" Darien blurted out.

'Darien used my name!'

Well, no duh! Look at the state your in!

'You just have to ruin everything don't you! Why don't you...'

"Serena, earth to Serena? Anybody in there?" Darien asked as he waved his hand back and forth across her face.

Blushing Serena quickly replied, "Um..hi Darien, I'm really sorry I didn't come yesterday!"

Serena said, trying to sound really sad, while suppressing a giggle she put her plan into action.

"I...he..." Serena even mustered a few tears for her act.

"What happened?" Darien asked, worriedly.

"Oh it was horrible!" she exclaimed

"What? What was horrible?" questioned Darien.

"I...he... I went to find him and I saw him kissing another girl!" Serena sobbed, as she blew her nose into a tissue.

"Oh, don't cry!" said Darien.

Darien's P.O.V.

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

Darien looked at the crying girl now in his arms, unsure of what to do. The anger from yesterday, was coming back, but this time directed at HIM. When he found the guy who hurt Serena, he would beat him up really bad.

'Oh...first I'll punch his nose, then his stomach, then his...'

Uh dude, chill, aren't you forgetting someone?

'Who?'

The girl in your arms!

'Serena?'

No, President Bush! Of course Serena, you idiot!

'Well, what am I supposed to do?'

Make her feel better obviously!

'How do I do that?'

Um...oh I know, why don't you buy her something to eat?

'Hey that's a good idea, I'll take her into the Arcade!'

No, no, no, stupid! Andrew's in there, he'll question her and that's definitely not what she needs right now!

'Fine!'

With that, he started to stand up.

'He's not saying anything, is that good or bad?'

Good and bad!

'How can something be good and bad?'

Well, take a sundae for example, bad for health, yet it tastes so good!

'No! What I meant is how can not saying anything be good and bad?'

Well it would be good because...

Serena's thoughts were once again disturbed, when Darien all of a sudden decided to get up. Unprepared Serena fell on her but.

"Ow! That hurt!" Serena complained.

"Sorry about that! Here let me help you up." Darien said and offered her his hand. She accepted it and quickly got up. Darien started walking and pulled Serena along with him.

"Where are we going?" Serena asked.
