CharmedSerenity3: You will right now.

Sailorstars16: Ok, I will.

The group finally made it to their destination. They got a glimpse of the scenery of Chicago. Serena got up just in time to see the beautiful city. It looked more beautiful in the evening light. Her eyes glistened into the sunset, and Darien saw how magnificent she looked when she stared at the city.

They arrived at the hotel with their keys for their rooms ready. When Serena got her key she wondered on who she was bunking with? She grabbed her suitcase, and stepped into the elevator. She pushed a button to go up to the 11th floor.

She walked towards Room 615, and she stopped in front of the door. She didn't know why she stopped. Her mind said to go in, but her legs and hands started to tremble.

'Why can't I just go in? Is it that I'm going to get one of the scouts, or gasp! Don't think like that Serena. They wouldn't do that. The scouts know better than that, besides I'll probably get Mina or Lita,' she thought, 'I'm hallucinating. I need to get some sleep. It has been a long day for me, and especially with that yoma attack.'

Serena swiped the card to unlock the door, and she went inside to put her stuff up. It was a little too quiet, and she thought one of her friends would be here by now. She looked around the suite, but there was no other suitcase around but her own.

She went to the bathroom to go get changed for bed. She put on her pink tank top and her red short shorts. The young girl went to her bed and laid there for a minute until she heard the door open. Serena went to the side of the wall so that the person wouldn't see her. The mysterious person said something, but Serena couldn't hear the voice.

The figure walked down the hall not knowing that Serena was there. Drawing closer and closer Serena had no choice is to scare whoever was here. She popped out, and she ran over the figure to the ground. Serena never meant to do that, and she slowly opened her eyes to see whom she was on top of. It was Darien is whom that she was on. She blushed hard when she noticed that it wasn't one of the scouts.

"I'm sorry, Darien, I didn't know that you were here. I thought you were one of the girls," She got off of him.

"Does it look that I'm one of them?" she nodded no, "Do you have the wrong room? What is your room number? My number is 615."

"615," her eyes shot open.

She knew what was going on. The scouts must have put her here on purpose. Why? There are lots of questions that she wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask him. He wouldn't know. She walked towards the other side of the room.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Making a phone call," she paused, "Yes, I would like to have a connection to Ms. Mina Aino. Thank you."

Serena waited for a minute for the connection to reach the room. Mina heard the phone, and went over to answer.

"Hello," She said.

"What made you think putting me and Mask in a room together?"

"I'm sorry. Who is this?"

"IT'S ME, MOON!" being very annoyed.

"Oh hi, Serena, what did you want to talk about?" already knowing what she is going to ask.

"Venus, you know why I am calling. Tell me in what in the galaxies name you put me and Darien in the same room?"

"Sorry Serena, the girls already pick on whom they were bunking with. The two of you were the only one that didn't have a partner to sleep with," Mina lied.

Serena whispered that only Mina could only hear, "Venus, you know that I have a crush on him. Do you expect me to last even one night with him in the same room? I probably wouldn't last the whole week."

"Moon, you'll be fine. The only reason that the two of you are in the same room is that we didn't have enough money to get another room. You aren't going to sleep with the scouts. You are going to stay there. Good night."

"Wait," Mina's line was disconnected, "Great I'm stuck here until morning."

"So what did Mina say about the room problem?" Darien asked.

"We're stuck. They didn't have enough money to get another room. Well I'm going to bed."

He agreed. Serena lay on the bed pulling on the covers. Now only to see that Darien lying on the floor, but why is he going to sleep on the floor?

"What are you going to do sleep on the floor?" she asked.

"You're exactly right," he responded.

Serena was shocked, "You shouldn't do that. You'll stiffen your back if you sleep there."

"And expect me to be the cause of you getting pregnant. I know what I'm doing," he interrupted.

'He's right!' she thought.

Serena lay on the bed, and tried to fall asleep. Remembering the events that happened today, she remembered the lost of the card game, yoma attack, bandage incident, and the unexpected roommate.

All night Serena had been tossing and turning, and then she woke up instantly. She looked around, and saw complete darkness. There was still a sleeping man on the floor. Darien was the nicest person that Serena has ever met in her life. She has never found another guy like him.

Serena's POV

There really isn't another guy like him. He's smart, nice, honest, gentle, and sometimes knows not when to put his two sense in. He's, well, I don't know to say about him. Whenever I see him my heart starts to race. When someone says his name I become weird and uncomfortable, but also in the same time happy and joyful.

The way he looks, acts, and his personality oh I don't know what to say. It seems when I'm around him all of my problems seem to melt away. Most of the time he has all the answers to my questions, and I help him as well.

Just seeing him lying there makes me feel guilty. I warm with the blanket, and to see him in the next cold as an ice cube. I put a blanket on him, and I got up to see what time it was. It read 7:00 A.M. I decided to get ready for the day, because I knew that today is going to wonderful.

Normal POV

The others were walking down towards the breakfast buffet. The only thing that was weird was Serena was up at 7:30 in the morning. They have never seen her up this early unless she needed to.

Rei spoke up, "Meatball head, what are you doing up so early? You're usually in bed by now."

"I couldn't sleep last night," Serena responded.

"It's a miracle. Serena actually got up early. Let me guess Darien woke you up."

"Nope he's still asleep," taking another sip of her hot chocolate.

The others were shocked on her response. Serena never wakes up early, and she's a deep sleeper. The only thing that would wake her up this early if she was worried about something.

"Serena, what's wrong?" Mina asked.

"Nothing is wrong. Why do you ask?"

"The only way that you get up early is when you are worried about something or someone. Now tell us."

"Venus, there is nothing going on. I just had a bad dream, and I couldn't go back to sleep. Now if you excuse me I'm going to do some reading before we go anywhere."

Serena went to the elevator, and walked into the room. She was Darien in the same spot from before. It's like he was sleeping like there was no tomorrow. There was nothing to disturb him, sleeping so peacefully like a little baby. She didn't wish to wake him up in his state.

She sat on the bed, and stared at him. To her he was the most beautiful thing that was in this galaxy. She caressed her hand gently on his face. Being careful by not waking him, and she traced her finger across his face. Serena finally reached towards the tip of his lip.

She pushed her finger back to herself, 'No! Don't think like that! Just say nothing more nothing less than a friend. Maybe the scouts will have the answer.'

Serena looks towards the ceiling, and that's when Darien woke up. He looked around to see what time it was.

"Didn't expect for you to be up before me," he said.

"Good morning to you too," she said sarcastically, "I couldn't go back to sleep. I brought something to eat in case if you were hungry."

"Thanks," he responded.

It has been 20 minutes since their little talk. Serena decided to brush her hair before heading down to meet with the others. Darien saw Serena take down her hair. It reached all the way to her feet.

Darien had never seen Serena with her hair down before. To him she looked like a goddess. She's like a being from the heavens, or a person from another world. He asks himself why he has this feeling to her, but not to other girls.

'Of course why didn't I see it before? It's because I love her. I didn't see it years ago. It's because personality, character, creativity, her figure, and everything about her. All of the pieces of the puzzle are coming together,' he thought to himself.

Serena turned around to face him and she just smiled. They fell into a trance, gazing into each others eyes, and locked into another word instead of reality. Darien never noticed how her eyes looked so magnificent until now.

Serena broke out of the trance and said, "Come on. We are going to meet with the others down at the lobby."

He watched her put her hair up, "Yeah, let's go."

Later that afternoon the group went to the Museum of Science and Industry. Ami was the only one that was actually paying attention to the models. Serena decided to have a little fun in the museum. She progress her friends to play hide and seek around the human body.

Lita and Darien were the seekers as the others were the hiders. Lita told him that she would go to the lower part of the body. Darien got from the stomach up to the head. He already found Ami in the brain, and Mina in the eyes. Lita just found Rei in the feet. All that was left was Serena. Lita couldn't find her in the lower part of the body. Darien checked everything except the heart.

He raced through the stairs to reach his destination. Darien looked around the heart. He only saw a little boy that was laughing. Then he heard a female voice.

"You funny ldy," the 5 year old said.

"Go on with your mom. I'm playing a game that involves hiding."

"Found you," Darien said.

"Crap I thought you would of never found me in the liver."

"Liver?" he asked.

"This is the liver. Am I right?" all he could do was laugh, "What's so funny, Darien?"

"No, that's not the liver, but that's the heart. Let's just say that your heart was in the right spot but your brain still needs some work."

The clock stroke 3:00, and the girls dropped Darien at the hotel. They walked towards some stores in the city. Somehow they walked into a formal store.

"Wait, why are we here?" Serena asked.

"Moon, when was the last time that we went shopping together?" Venus asked.

She was speechless.

"My point exactly, and the reason we're here, because we are going to some place that we have to dress formal. Darien didn't come, because he already has a suit. Let's go shopping."

The girls agreed, and looked around the store. Hundreds upon hundreds of elegant dresses, and so many to chose from. Four of the scouts tired on different kinds of outfits. Each one more magnificent than the last one, and they finally chose what they are going to wear.

Ami put on a sleeveless sky blue dress with sparkling sequence, and elbow length blue gloves. Rei had on a deep red one shoulder outfit that reached to the ground. Lita has on a forest green spaghetti strap dress with a little sequence that went to her knees. Mina tried on an orange dress that held on the back of her neck, showed most of her back, and had on hand covered gloves. All of them but Serena found a dress.

"Serena, why haven't you found a dress yet?" Lita asked.

"Well to be honest I haven't found one that looks good on me. None of these dresses fit my personality. I don't feel the sensation of satisfaction," Moon responded.

"Probably Moon wants to find one to look good in front of Darien, and She has a point. I would want to look good for my boyfriend. We just have to keep looking," Venus said.

She blushed a little, "No, I don't."

"Aw she's blushing. Serena won't admit that we're right. By the time she'll admit it we all will be 30, and we'll be going on with our lives," Rei said while the others laughed.

"Oh, yeah, I bet that I can tell him before the end of this week," feeling enraged.

"Is that a bet I hear?" Rei mocking her, "If you win you get to keep Darien as a boyfriend."

"And if I lose?"

"You can only have as a best friend, and no having him as a boyfriend," Serena was shocked, "So Serena, do we have a deal?"

"Deal," they shook hands to seal it.

"Excuse me?" one of the workers asked.

"Yes."

"You look familiar somehow."

"I'm sorry. This is my first time here in Chicago."

"What is your name miss?"

"Serena Tsukino."

"Do you know a woman named Selenity Tsukino?"

"Yes, that's my mother."

"I knew you the moment I saw you look familiar by the hairstyle. How is she doing?"

Serena paused for a second, "Actually she is in a better place than here."

"What do you mean by that?"

"She is not in this world anymore, and she's not coming back."

The worker thought for a second and figured out what she was trying to say, "Oh I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that."

"It's alright. Some of my mother's friends should know what happened to her 11 years ago."

"Ok, is there anything that I can help you with while you're here?"

Mina spoke up, "Yes, Serena needs to find a dress for tonight."

"First, Serena, I need you to spin around very slowly so I can see what we need to do," She did as she was instructed, "I see. Just wait here for a minute."

The employee walked towards the back, and searched for the right one. The girls waited for a few minutes, and Serena let the others get their normal clothes back on. She finally came out with a dress.

It was a pure snow white color silk laced with gold hemming on the bust area. The strapless dress went down past the floor, and showed with great elegance. Serena looked at the dress, and she looked astounded and speechless.

"This is it," she spoke up.

"We were going to put it up on display, but I knew that this dress had to be worn by you. Here try it on to see if it fits."

Serena walked into one of the fitting rooms, and tried it on. The scouts for her to come out, and a few minutes has passed, but no she hasn't came out.

"Come on, Moon. We have got to see if it looks good on you," Mina commanded.

She stepped out to let the scouts see. The girls gasped on how beautiful she looked. The way it formed on her body just right. Nothing on her was misplaced.

"What do you think?" Serena asked.

"Magnificent," Ami said.

"Beautiful," Rei responded.

"Stunning, and you could get any guy with that dress on," Lita quoted as Serena blushed.

"A goddess," Mina spoke.

"More like a goddess from the Moon," the worker said.

All of them agreed. Serena went back to get her regular clothes back on. She joined with the others to see what's next on the agenda.

"So what do we do now?" Serena asked.

"First we go buy our dresses, do a little more shopping, go back to the hotel, and get ready for tonight."

The scouts purchased their outfits, and went shopping to buy accessories for their outfits. They bought some necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
