~Laughs nervously~ Hehe, sorry for the long wait again, but I have been busy, (being a pyro on Independence day, YEAH!) So anyway, here's a new chapter! Oh yeah, and this chapter may not be as good as the others, I had a major writer's block.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own sailor moon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Serena went around the hospital, happy as ever while she tended to patients. She couldn't wait for the weekend to come. She had the perfect dress and the perfect date to boot.
When Serena passed them in the hallway, Molly and Melvin both looked very happy and excited for the weekend to come. The funny thing was though, Serena didn't see Allen for the rest of the week. 'He must be trying to get a new girlfriend for the ball. I doubt that's going to happen with his possessiveness.' Serena thought as she went down the hallway and into the checkout room. She went out into the parking lot and got to her car, and drove home to her rather medium large house.
When Serena got home, she easily took off her purse and walked into her living room, and then headed for the kitchen. She went to her refrigerator and grabbed a coke from it, she was about to open it when her phone rang. Serena sighed. 'For once, it's not my cell phone.' Serena thought as she quickly checked the caller ID. She smiled excitedly as she quickly answered the phone.
"Hi Darien!" She answered cheerfully. At the other end of the line, Darien looked puzzled. "How did you know it was me Serena?" He asked while scratching his head. Serena giggled. "Caller ID. It's something called technology, Darien. Gee, you really need to catch up with the times." She said, laughing. He frowned. "That's not very nice to say to your boyfriend and future date for this weekend. Just for that, I may reconsider." Serena frowned. "But then who will I go with?" Serena asked as he chuckled.
"Oh come on, I was only joking with you. Now anyway, why did you call me?" She heard him take a deep breath, then let it go. "Would you like to go to the park with me today, Serena? I mean, I did say I would buy you ice cream." He said while Serena smiled wildly. "I would love to go to the park with you, Darien!" She said as she blushed. He chuckled.
"Alright then, tell me you address and I'll pick you up." He said before she started to tell him her address. He quickly wrote it down. "I'll be there to pick you up in ten minutes, Serena. Bye." He said as they hung up. Serena thought about this for a moment. A wonderful stroll in the park with Darien seemed like a sweet dream to her. Suddenly she snapped out of her little daydream and actually thought about it.
'Ten minutes! Oh my gosh, I don't have enough time for a bath! I only have time to change. I hope Darien doesn't mind.' Serena thought as she quickly ran down the hallway to her room. She quickly went though her clothes, throwing everything out into her floor that she owned and scanned them all quickly.
"I can't find anything good enough! Maybe that over there....no too short....maybe that....no...too wrinkled....oh that!....no....too purple. ARG! What am I going to do?!" Serena yelled as she, once again, ripped though her dressers and her closet.
About 9 minutes later, Darien stood at the door of Serena's house. He looked around the small, but beautiful white house. 'She's a famous doctor, so I shouldn't be surprised.' He thought while a smile he couldn't control graced his face as he rang the doorbell. He smiled even more when Serena now stood in the doorway before him.
She was dressed in a sky blue tank top and tan colored shorts. Serena blushed when she noticed that Darien was staring at her. When he finally snapped out of it, he noticed he had been staring at her for some time.
Now, it was his turn to blush. "So, are we going to go or are you going to stand there all day?" Serena said, noticing the red hint of color on his cheeks, and giggled. Darien tried to calm himself down so that his cheeks would go back to normal. Serena tried to hold in another giggle, but failed. He though she sounded so cute when she giggled.
Once they arrived at the park, Darien bought them both ice cream. Serena and Darien both got chocolate and started to walk though the park, down the same path that Serena had first met Darien at. They sat down at the bench and started talking about random things, life, entertainment, hobbies, things like that.
While they were laughing at something Darien had said, a though slid its way into Serena's mind. 'I wonder why Darien was put into an orphanage. He seems so nice and sincere. Why would anyone want to just abandon him?' Serena thought as her smile faded as she leaned on his shoulder. Darien noticed this and became concerned.
"What's wrong, Serena?" He asked as he carefully cupped her cheek in his hand and made her look up at him. Serena looked up at him with concern and curiosity in her eyes. "Darien?" She asked, almost unsure. He smiled. "Yes?" He said as he let her face go. Serena didn't know weather to ask this question or not.
"Why were you put in a orphanage?" She said quickly before she could think. Darien's eyes widened. "How did you know I was put into one? I didn't think I told you yet." Serena blushed.
"Well, when Molly and I typed up your information on our computer when you were brought in, we found out you had no family and you were an orphan." Darien nodded and put one arm around her shoulders.
"When I was a little boy, I was on a road trip with my parents. We were just driving down the road when we turned a narrow corner and a big truck was on the wrong lane, so my father swerved off the road to avoid him, but there was railing where he pulled off to and the car when over the side, and that's when I blacked out." Darien was frowning during the whole story. Serena nodded for him to continue.
"After I woke up, I found that I had been bandaged around my forehead and I had one hell of a headache. The last thing I remembered was going over the side of the railing and I couldn't remember what my own name was. The doctors said it was Darien Shields, but I can't remember. Then, I asked to see my parents, but the doctors told me that....that....that they didn't survive. They checked my records to see if I had any living relatives left, they couldn't find any, so they had no choice but to stick me in the orphanage until I was eight-teen and get the inheritance my parents had left for me."
Darien said as a single tear fell from his eyes. Serena saw this and wrapped him in her arms and comforted him. "It's okay, Darien. I realize that your life must have been hard throughout your childhood. But don't worry, I'll try to help make the rest of your life better." Serena said as Darien looked down into her eyes.
She smiled and hugged him as he wrapped his arms around her and put his cheek to the top of her head. Serena sighed. She felt like she could just fall asleep in his arms with no worries at all. Darien too his head off of hers and looked down at her.
When Serena felt that Darien had taken his head off of hers, she looked up at him and saw something in his eyes she had never seen before. "You know Serena, I've never told anyone else but you about my past. I feel like I can tell you everything."
He said as she blushed. Darien smiled and started to lean down into her and started to close his eyes. Serena felt Darien pull her closer into him. 'He...he's going to....to kiss me.' Serena thought as she leaned towards him as well and closed her eyes. But, before their lips could even make contact, Serena's cell phone rang.
Her eyes snapped open and she reached into her pocket for the little romance killer. Darien's eyes opened as well and he let go of Serena. He sighed. 'I was so close to giving her a kiss, but her stupid cell phone had to ring, damn it!' He thought as Serena answered it.
"Oh hi, Molly, what's up? What? I'm needed for an emergency? Ok I'll be there in a few minutes. Alright, bye." Serena hung up the phone and sighed. 'Why couldn't Molly just wait a little longer? I was so close to getting a kiss from Darien.' She sighed again. "So, I guess you have to go now? Right?" He said as she nodded sadly.
Suddenly, Darien smiled. "My car is just around the corner. I could drive you to the hospital, instead of having you walk." Serena smiled and followed him to his sleek black sports car. He got in and Serena slowly got in, admiring the car.
It had nice leather seats and a very nice stero system. Serena thanked him for the ice cream and the ride and went on into the hospital. Darien quickly pulled around and parked on the side and entered the building to go to the meeting he had missed the last week. He didn't want Serena to find out he was the CEO of the hospital, yet. He figured he would tell her at the ball they would go to that weekend and try to get at least one kiss from her.
