Hey everyone! This is a special update, because it's my birthday today! YEAH! 'throws confetti in the air' (What's confetti used for anyway?) On with the reviews! Oh, by the way, I'm dedicating this chapter to ChibiRikku1 and bunnybunny who been constantly reviewing and pressuring me to keep writing! I hope you enjoy this chapter! IMPORTANT NOTE: TO UNDERSTAND THIS CHAPTER, I SUGGEST READING OVER THE LAST PART OF CHAPTER 7, BECAUSE THIS IS THE SAME PART, BUT FROM SERENA'S POINT OF VIEW! THIS WILL BE ONE CONFUSING CHAPTER! 'takes deep breath' Thank you for listening, and if you didn't, its your loss. LOL!

Review Corner! Ah...my adoring fans! 'blows kisses to everyone who reviewed' (can you tell SOMEONE'S a LITTLE hyper, today?)

Kayla: I sure hope your hand gets better! Don't worry about the writer's block, it happens to everyone once in a while! As for your other fics, I'll be sure to take a look at them once I find the time. I'm not quite sure what you mean about double spacing, because I only put one space between every word. Anyway, thanks for reviewing, get better soon!

CSIcrazy: I love the Serena/Darien relationship too! They should totally put more of it in the show, but then again, I guess that's what fanfictions are for, eh? In a way, OC does mean Orange Country, I suppose, but the way I'm referring to is when an author does couplings. For example, I say one author who put, Serena/OC. In that sense, it means Original Character. (Thanks to Kayla for pointing that out!) Thanks CSIcrazy for reviewing!

ChibiRikku1: Thank you for reviewing! I'm glad you like my story! I hope you read this chapter, seeing as I did dedicate it to you!

bunnybunny: Thanks for pointing that out! I realize that may have been a bit confusing, so I hope this chapter clears it up for you! (It is dedicated to you, you know!)

ashpup: Thank you, and I will most certainly continue! LOL!

"I really like you Serena!" Darien finally blurted out...

Serena's P.O.V.

'Oh my God, did he just say what I think he did?'

Depends, what do you think he said?

'He just said, he likes me!'

I don't know...maybe you should double check.

'Well what do I say, "Um...excuse me, but did you just say you like me, Mr. I'm a cold hearted egolistic jerk?'

No! Of course not! Something less harsh, you idiot!

'Okay, here I go...'

Serena took a deep breath and asked, "Really Darien?"

"Uh huh." he replied.

'Yes!'

What?

'He likes me! He really, really likes me!'

Um...so?

'He's a boy, I'm a girl, and we both like each other! What else is there to say?'

Well...maybe the fact that he probably only likes you as a friend!

'I never thought of that!'

Serena was crestfallen. Although it seemed like minutes, her thoughts had only gone on for a few seconds. Putting on her best fake smile ever, she said, "That's great! I'm sure we'll make the best of friends!"

Each word slowly crushed her heart.

Then, he said it. Darien said the things, and asked the question Serena had only ever dreamed he would do, he said "Serena, what I meant, was that, I like you, more than a friend, Serena, I've never felt this way before. I feel like we have this connection, this bond. Will you be, my girlfriend?"

With those words, Serena felt all her guilt and pain wash away, she felt as though, she had died and gone to heaven. With a feeling of pure bliss, she slipped off into lala land.

Serena's Dream

Serena stood in a white gown, and had her hair up, in her usual style. She walked down the aisle, and soon the preacher had said, and finished his speech.

"Do you Darien Shields, take this woman to be your wife?" the preacher asked pointing to Serena.

"I do." said Darien.

"And do you Serena Tsukino, take this man to be your husband?" the preacher asked pointing to Darien.

"I do." She replied.

"You may kiss the bride." the preacher announced.

Darien (in the dream of course), bent forward, closer, and closer...

Meanwhile...

Darien's P.O.V.

"Serena, what I meant, was that, I like you, more than a friend, Serena, I've never felt this way before. I feel like we have this connection, this bond. Will you be, my girlfriend?"

'She's not responding!'

Not a good sign, dude!

'Is she feeling alright?'

Why do you ask?

'I don't know, maybe because she has this dazed look in her eyes!'

Wow your right!

Darien bent forward, closer and closer...he took both his hands and put the, on her shoulders. Then he...shook her really hard.

"Are you alright Serena?" asked Darien.

"Huh?" snapping out of her daze, Serena quickly replied, "I'm fine, and Darien, I would love to be your girlfriend!"

'Wow! She actually said yes!'

Obviously! Isn't that what I told you from the start!

To happy Darien ignored his thoughts, and caught Serena in a passionate kiss. It started out slow, and gentle, then it became a bit more demanding and fiery. Darien licked the bottom of Serena's lips, as if begging for entrance. She happily complied, this being her first kiss, she could only follow, but she soon caught on, and by the time they broke apart, she was gasping for air.

Darien led Serena out onto his balcony, and together they watched the beautiful sunset.

Is it finally the end! Wow! I didn't expect this when I first started writing this chapter! Thank you to all my reviewers, and 'sniff' I hope you all read my next fic! Whenever it comes out! Um...should I make an epilogue for this story? Oh, and if your wondering why I didn't use my P.O.V. dashes, it's because, the fanfiction thingy wouldn't let me! Oh Well! See you later...hopefully!
