standard disclaimer I do not own Sailor Moon never did, never will thank you!

Author's note: My thanks go out to sailor ceb, Eternal Moon Power, ffirlmoonie, and

Red-Rose18. Thank you all so much for your reviews.

To clear something up Serena and Darien aren't boyfriend and girlfriend.

There not dating but they do both secretly like each other, just neither of

them will admit it. Darien did ask Serena to the prom but she did not say

yes; she just told him she would think about it.

On a personal note, I've recently seen both James Taylor and Bruce

Springsteen in concert; what a show if you ever have the chance to go see

them I strongly recommend it!

Now on with the story as always please read review and enjoy! Thank you

Chapter 12

Friday 6:45pm

Serena was in her room looking in the mirror for the tenth time making sure she looked nice, that her hair was perfect and looking at her outfit once more wondering if she should change again. She looked on her bed at the other eight outfits she already tried on when there was a knock at her bedroom door.

She went to answer it and outside was Samantha waving the phone telling her "you have a phone call and don't worry so much you look fine, just hurry up and finish it's almost seven".

Serena looked at herself in the mirror once more realizing she did look nice not to dressy and not to sporty as she smiled at her sister saying "thanks" as she took the phone from her and said with a friendly hello "hi Serena here" on the other end she heard Rei's voice.

Rei: hey Serena its Rei, how are you doing?

Serena: hi Rei I'm doing great. How are you?

Rei: I'm doing well I was just calling to see if you still wanted to go to the mall with us this weekend!

Serena: absolutely I can't wait

Rei: great! so what's going on. I couldn't help but over here you and your sister talking are you going some place.

Serena: yes I have a date

Rei: a date Darien finally asked you out, that's fantastic!

Serena: it's not with Darien. I'm going out with a guy from school. His names Rob

Rei: oh that's nice I hope you have a good time

Serena: thank you I should probably go he should be here soon!

Rei: okay have a good time bye

Serena: bye

Serena hung up the phone and looked at her self in the mirror once more then rushed down stairs as she saw the clock strike 7.

7:15pm

Serena looked out the window for Rob's car but didn't see it as she told herself he's running a little late he'll be here soon!

7:30pm

Serena sat on the couch getting tired of pacing as she looked at her watch as it read 7:30 as she thought, he got tied up I'm sure he'll be here any minute!

7:45pm

Serena stood up looking out the window as the cars passed by, looking to see if any slowed down by her house. He was forty-five minutes late but he could still show up!

8:00pm

Serena sat on the couch as Samantha came in the room with a smirk on her face as she told her sister "you got stood up looks like Rob found better things to do with his time then spend it with you"

Serena was trying to hold back her tears as she told her "you'll see he will be here soon. I'm sure he just got held up somewhere he'll be here soon, you'll see"

8:15pm

Serena sat on the couch crying into her hands as she realized Rob wasn't coming. She heard Sam start to come down stairs with her mother when she stood up yelling up to them "mom Rob just got here I'll see you later"

She ran out the door into the night not sure where she would go but she knew she couldn't stay there; if she did she would never hear the end of it from Sam and her mother as she slowly walked down the street with tears flowing from her eyes.

Darien drove down the road when he happened to notice a petite blond in his rear view mirror as he turned around and parked the car by the curb; then got out and walked up to her with a big smile as he asked "Serena hey what are you doing out here aren't you suppose to be out on a date or something"

Serena turned around to see Darien trying to hide the tears that came from her eyes as she said with a fake smile "hi Darien how are you"

Darien quickly noticed the tears that were coming from her eyes as he came closer wiping the tears from her eyes when he asked her "what happened"

Serena looked up to him with her tear stained face as she sobbed "he didn't come, he never called or anything. I got stood up Darien"

Darien saw the tears that came from her eyes and in that instant he had the urge to punch Rob in the face the next time he saw him, but instead he put his arms around Serena holding her close as he told her "listen Serena you're a great person any man would be lucky to have you in there life I know I certainly am. Rob was a fool for what he did and don't let him get you down. You deserve so much better then him"

Serena started to dry up her tears as she listened to Darien and a smile started to come across her face. As she told him "thank you"

Darien looked at the beautiful girl he held in his arms when a thought struck him "Serena you look really nice and it is a beautiful night if you don't have any other plans would you allow me to take you out for the evening"

Serena couldn't believe what she just heard (did Darien just ask me out on a date wow this is mind boggling. What about Sam what would she say if I went out with Darien. Well forget Sam this is my chance to be happy) Serena looked up to Darien with a smile as she asked him "Darien just to clear things up is this like a date or something; are you asking me out?"

Darien looked to her with a smile as he told her "yes Serena that's exactly what I'm doing so Serena Taylor. Will you let me be your date for the evening?"

Serena looked to Darien with a big smile as she told him "yes Darien I would love to go out with you"

Darien took Serena's hand as he led her to his car opening the door for her before she got in then going around to the other side as he smiled asking her "where to my lady" She smiled back at him as she said "surprise me".

Darien looked back at her with a gleam in his eye as he told her "you got it" as he started the car and off they went on there date together.
