Thank you all so much for the reviews! I love it! I'm sorry that the last chapter was short, but that is just how it ended up. Well, here is the new chapter!

A Moment of Realization

Serena hugged Mina, Amy, Lita, and Raye.

"Remember towrite okay?" Mina reminded her.

"Yeah, so don't be your usual ditzy Meatball Headed self and forget," Raye said in her own way of showing affection towards her.

"Aw, I knew your loved me," Serena said to Raye hugging her.

"Yeah, yeah, don't let it get to your head," Raye replied annoyed.

"We will all miss you," Amy said giving her another hug.

"Yeah, if anyone messes with you tell me because I will hunt them down and show how it feels to have my fist against their face," Lita added.

"I will miss you guys," Serena said while they all gathered into a group hug.

She walked away holding up her umbrella. She headed towards Darien's apartment. First, she had to stop by Mrs. Liten's.

She knocked on her door and Mrs. Liten answered it.

"Serena, my dear, such a pleasure to see you again."

"Hello, Mrs. Liten. I just wanted to say good-bye. I am going to a summer program and won't be back until along time."

"Oh, I will miss you sweetie. I have my special cookies for you. Please take them with you."

"No, you're too kind. I couldn't accept them."

"Take them honey, who else is going to eat them? You know Darien, he doesn't really like sweets because he likes to 'watch what he eats'."

They both laughed.

"I guess I will take them if you say so. Thank you so much!" Serena said taking the bag of cookies and giving her a hug.

"You're welcome. I can't wait to see you again. Please keep in contact with me," and then she looked next door, "Oh, if you are looking for Darien, he isn't home. He went out earlier."

"Oh, I was, thank you. He probably is at the arcade now hanging out with Andrew. I'll go look for him there. See you in a few months," Serena replied giving her one last hug before she was on her way.

She rushed to the arcade because her flight was in a few hours and she had to say, 'good-bye' to everybody. She wasn't watching where she was going and - BAM! She ran right into a hard, muscular body.

"Oh, sorry," Serena said getting up.

"That's alright-" Darien paused when he recognized the voice, "Meatball Head?"

"Darien?" Serena asked looking up.

"Yeah," he replied.

"I was just looking for you to say good-bye," she said giving him a hug.

She noticed how close she was against him. She could feel his breath on her.

She look into his midnight blue eyes and whispered, "Good-bye."

Everything was in slow motion. Their faces slowly came together. Darien and Serena's lips collided together. They kissed passionately. Serena's knees were beginning to give up on her and if it hadn't been for Darien's arms around her, she would have probably fell to the ground already. Finally they pulled away for air.

Serena just took in what happened and her cheeks flushed. She noticed she dropped her umbrella in the process and picked it up. She ran away from him, but turned her head and met his eyes. They stared at her funny, a look in them that she just couldn't put her finger on.

She ran all the way home. She couldn't believe what had just happened. It just kept replaying in her head. She tried to shake it off as she got her stuff in the car.

I don't like him… I don't like him… she thought trying to rid the memory of them kissing.

Even on the plane, she couldn't get the image and feeling out of her head. She sighed and gave in.

I do like him…

I know it is short, but hey, do you guys love it or what? I left you guys at a cliffhanger! What will happen now that they kissed? Nobody will know, except for me of course!
