DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN SAILOR MOON

"Serena… can we talk somewhere private?" Darien asked timidly.

"We'll talk after training. Now pick up your sword and get into fighting stance." Serena said while picking up her own sword. After Darien was ready, he saw Serena lunging towards him catching him off guard. Okay, so he thought he was ready.

"Never, ever let your guard down. Now get up and attack me and don't hold back." Serena stated helping him back up to his stance. With that Darien came at Serena, and she blocked all his moves with ease, like he was a mere child using it for the first time. Everyone stopped what he or she was doing to watch the two bang swords.

They went on for a while until Serena lost her sword. She then kicked Darien's feet out from under him, while stealing his sword. To liven things up Serena began to throw punches. But it was now Darien's turn to show off as he dodged them easily, and not before long caught one. With this he swung her arm behind her back. But she countered with her free arm to elbow him in the gut, Serena freed atlas watch Darien drop to the ground in pain. She made her final move by sticking the sword at his neck.

"Well done." She actually was astounded by his combat skills. She knew his potential, he would one day succeed her in combat. "Now that everyone is done watching our spar, maybe they can continue their own training." She playfully joked. Everyone began to shuffle back to what they had been doing before.

"Well now that's over with, will you help me with dinner?" Serena asked politely. Darien nodded and followed her into the kitchen.

In the Kitchen

"Can you get me the hamburger patties while I get the George Foreman going?" Serena turned and pluged in the George Foreman and she is rewarded with the patties she asked for.

"Seren,a can we talk now?" Darien pleaded and after seeing a nod continued. "I am really sorry about the way I treated you. I know I lost your respect when I did this, and maybe even your love." He choked out painfully. It hurt him to even say that. "Would it be possible to start over. So I can show you how much you mean to me, and how I am willing to work forever to get what ever you will offer me"

"I can forgive you Darien, eventually. Just know I will never forget. If you hurt me like that again then it's over." Serena said while setting the patties on the grill. Serena closed the George Foreman only to be caught off guard by two warm lips on her own. She was shocked then slowly eased into the kiss. Darien felt her relax and deepened the kiss. He tentatively slipped his tongue in and traced every crevice of her mouth. He wanted to feel her again, show her how much he missed her, and loved her.

"AHEM!"

Serena and Darien sprung away from each other. When they put a face with the voice they blushed. Andrew had interrupted their kiss. "So I take it you are back together then." He got a nod from them both for his answer. "So you know if you hurt her one more time, she won't be able to stop me from getting to you." Andrew stated seriously looking Darien straight into the eyes. Then he walked over to the George Foreman and flipped the burgers.

"Darien can you set the table?" Serena asked Darien gently. "Plates are in the third cabinet on the right of the refrigerator. The glasses are right next to them so it shouldn't be hard to miss." Serena informed.

Darien went over to the cabinet, and counted out 12 plates. As he sat the last plate the group of girls came in. "Oh my God. This Kitchen is amazing Andrew. I could probably die right now and be happy." Lita exclaimed as she sat down with the rest of them.

"There's Water, Coke, and Ice Tea. Pick which ever you want." Elizabeth tiredly said as she sat.

20 mins. later

"Andrew, Elizabeth can you come with me for a second. We'll be back in a minute." Serena answered the questioning faces as she left through the door way.

"Okay Serena what's up?" Andrew asked.

"It's midnight. We might as well have them stay over tonight. There are five spare rooms. 2 girls a room and Darien gets his own room. That way we can start training again." Reasoned Serena.

"Sure they can stay, but don't think I don't know your ulterior motive. You just can't wait to suck the lips off Darien again," joked Andrew.

"What! Serena when did this happen?" Elizabeth asked in shock.

"While you guys were still training. Now that this is over, let's go tell them their staying the night." Serena then immediately left and walked back in.

"Okay seeing as it is Midnight, you might as well stay here for the night. We have five spare rooms, meaning 2 girls a room and Darien you get your own room. When you get into your room go ahead and use the showers in there and I will bring a change of clothing for each of you. Follow me." Serena said turning to walk out of the kitchen. They all trailed behind her and saw her glide up the stair following. She turned to her right and proceeded down the hall.

"Rei and Amy you'll stay in this room." They walked in as Serena came to the next one. "Mina and Lita you'll stay here." the rest went like this. Pairing with Trista and Hotaru. Michele and Amara. Then she got to Darien's room.

"Darien you'll be staying in this room." Serena turned to leave but was stopped by a hand.

"I don't get a good night kiss." Darien then leaned down and brought his mouth down to Serena's leaving her breathless. When he felt no protests in deepening the kiss he led her into his room. They moved towards the bed neither realizing this until Darien starts to creep his hand under her shirt.

"Stop. We can't do this here." Serena desperately said trying to keep her self in check.

"You're right. We need to stop. Plus I still need to get your respect so you don't regret anything afterwards." Darien smirked at her as she left.

Out in the Hall

"So I see that you and Darien are Hot and Heavy again. Don't do anything I wouldn't do or anything you'll regret the next day." Elizabeth said in a knowing voice.

"Well that leaves me to do everything I can think of Elizabeth. "I'm going to go to bed." Serena said as she walked into her room.

3333333333333

"Ugh! My head." Serena made her way out of her room and walked down the stairs. Serena found herself in the kitchen with one mission. Tylenol. "Finally, Salvation!" Serena exclaimed quietly.

"It's 7 in the morning. Might as well start breakfast. Let's see twelve people. I'll need to make eggs, pancakes, bacon and toast." With that down Serena walked over to the cabinets and found the loaf of bread and pancake mix. She then went over to the refridgerator and got out the eggs and bacon.

40 Mins. Later.

"There. Pancakes? Check. Bacon and Toast. Check. Scrambles eggs? Check. Milk, Orange Juice and Coffee is on the table. Table is set so time to wake everyone up.

Up the Stair.

KNOCK! KNOCK! Was heard on all 7 occupied rooms.

"Get up now. I made breakfast and it's starting to get cool." Serena made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen. She heard doors open with thundering footsteps race down the stairs and into the kitchen. When everyone came in they saw Serena sipping her coffee and gathering what she wanted to eat. Everyone stared at her except Andrew and Elizabeth. Soon enough everyone sat down and begun to eat. The girls, Darien and the cats stared at it expecting it to explode.

"Come on. I'm not that bad of a cook. Ask Andrew or Elizabeth." Serena exasperatedly said. Darien dug in without a thought after her statement.

"Come on Serena you know you didn't make this. Don't you have a cook in this house hidden somewhere." Rei asked accusingly.

"No Rei, there is no cook here. We couldn't afford to have them sneaking around and hearing discussions concerning scout business. We cook for ourselves. Most of the time I cook breakfast and dinner when there's time. Next time think and ask before you accuse anybody of anything before getting the facts." With that said to all of them Serena grabbed her coffee and left.

"You are warned Rei. If you do something like that again you will be thrown out of here, no powers, and banned from anywhere that we know. That's quite a lot." Elizabeth and Andrew said icily. They began to clean up, and exited through the door.

"Rei you go and apologize right now. Or so help me you won't like what I do." Amara said as she got up and left through the door. There were nods agreeing with what she said and didn't glance at her throughout the whole breakfast. Rei got up and went to find Serena. She found her back in the Gym meditating.

"Serena ..."
