Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon…unfortunately.

A/N: Wow, I completely forgot to mention how old the characters are. I am sooo sorry. So, here's how it goes:

Serena – 15

Darien – 18 (in College)

Raye – 16

Ami – 15

Lita – 16

Andrew – 18 (in College)

Others will be added as they appear. Sorry, that it took so long, but I tried to get it out as soon as possible. I move in to my dorm thisWednesday, so Idon't know when the next chapter will be out. Though, I will try to get it out soon.Hope, you guys like Chapter 4!

JNgirl - What? You just now figured out that I'm evil? Wait till the end of this chapter then you'll really hate me! Muahahahahahahaha...just kidding :p! Anyways, I'm glad that you liked the chapter. Let me know what you think of this one. Oh, and your question about Darien is answered in this chapter also.

Sailor Bray - Wow, you used a big word for me. YEA! I'm glad that you like it and thanks for the review.

Chester91 - I'm happy you like the story so far. Hope that you keep reading it.

RebelQueen - You should try to read it sometime. It's good, but mine is different. The beginning's are pretty much the only parts that resemble each other. I'm excited you like it so far. Hope you continue reading, and thanks for the review.

SexyBeast101 - I'm glad you like it.

Low/Astrum- I'm glad you liked the chapter. I tried to get this one out as soon as possible; but between work, school starting, and family, I barely had time to write. Hope you like this chapter as much as you liked the other.

Red-Rose18 - That's a good question. I figured that waking up at one in the morning,she was still tired. Two, she didn't transform because she didn't want anybody to see 'Sailor Moon' come out of her window. Finally, I think that it would just take longer to have to go through the house rather than out her window, which is the route she is used to going when haveing to fight (at least in my story :p ). Thanks, for your input and review. I'm glad that you like the story so far and put so much thought into it. I hope you keep reading, and let me know if anything else confuses you.

Endy's Girl- It's Awesome that you lovemy story. I left it to the imagination because, I just feel wierd writing that way. You see, I'm a 'good girl'. Don't get me wrong or anything; I've just always have been that way,so I don't really know how to write like that. I also felt that it would work, leaving it the way I did. There's a little more in this chapter because it is in Darien's point of view, but I still stop. Hope you like this chapter and let me know whatyou think.

anangelslife - I'm glad that you like it. Keep reading, hopefully you'll stay interested.

Rasmus - I tried updating as soon as possible, but sooo many things were going on. I'm happy that you like it so far, but you may not be too happy with me. You'll know why when you get through reading this chapter. Hope you like it and thanks for reviewing.

Last Chapter(s)

"I'm so late! I can't believe this is happening to me. Ms. Haruna is going to be sooooo mad. I'm going to get detention for sure!" Once she was finished getting ready, she ran out the door and headed strait for school. Darien didn't even notice Serena leaving, until his apartment door closed. Though, even then he was too busy getting ready to be able to talk to her.

"Aww man, Meatball Head's already starting to rub off on me. I hope I make it to class on time, if I don't I'll lose my perfect attendance," muttered Darien as he grabbed his stuff and headed out the door.

"Our plan has been set into motion, you're Majesty," Zoicite stated upon appearing in the throne room of the Neaverse.

"Good, now we wait to see if the serum to keep Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask apart will work," replied Queen Beryl, "prepare to get another rainbow crystal. You did good this time, Zoicite, keep it up. I do not like failures."

"As you wish, you're Majesty, leave it to me," Zoicite replied. He then disappeared in a flurry of sakura petals.

Chapter 4

'Whew, I made it,' Darien thought as he walked into the lecture hall with five minuets to spare. 'I was almost sure that I was going to be late. I wonder if Serena made it on time. Probably not, she had to run; where I was able to drive.'

"Okay, everybody settle down. Just a reminder that your papers on …" the professor began his lecture. Darien, unlike Serena, paid attention during the entire thing; and at 9:50 headed to his next class. An hour later he was walking out of the Science building looking at his watch.

"Okay, I have an hour before noon. I guess I can take the time to study before I eat lun-" Darien stopped in mid-sentence as realization hit him.

'Oh no, Serena isn't going to have a lunch today, I doubt that she got to go home before going to school. Even if she did, knowing her, she was in too much of a hurry to remember. I, also, remember her complaining yesterday at the arcade about being out of allowance.' He looked at his watch again before thinking, 'I have enough time; I'll just get her a lunch and drop it off at her school. Then I'll run by the arcade, grab me something to eat, and go from there.' With that in mind he went on his way to find Serena a lunch.

While walking along, passing stores, something caught his eye. He stopped to see what it was. There, sitting in the window of a Sailor Scout paraphernalia shop, was a square, pink lunch box with a picture of Sailor Moon winking and giving a 'V' sign for 'victory'.

'Well, the lunch has to go in something. What better to put it in than something that completely describes her,' Darien thought as a smirk made its way onto his handsome face. He quickly walked in the store, bought the lunch box, and went to get Serena's food.

The bells to the Crown Arcade and Restaurant sounded as Darien walked through the door. He had just dropped off the lunch at Serena's school, with a note inside for her, and still had an hour and 15 minuets before his next class started. He looked to the counter to find Andrew, his best friend, serving customer's their drinks and food. Darien walked up and took his usual stool.

"Hey, Dar, where were you this morning? You normally come in and get coffee to start your day," Andrew asked as he handed the final customer their basket of fries and soda.

"Hey, Drew, I was running late, and you know my professors, they would flip if I ever showed up late for class." Darien replied in a casual tone. Though he was thinking, 'Why have coffee to start the day, when you can have a beautiful 'meatball' headed girl to do it for you?' At the same time secretly hoping that the issue wouldn't get pushed any farther. That wasn't the case, however.

"Why were you running late?" Andrew asked curiously, "As long as I've known you, you've never had to run late for anything."

"Yeah, well there's always a first. My alarm clock decided to break this morning and when I woke up it was already 8:30am. I barley made it to class on time," Darien said this while thinking, 'please buy it…please buy it…please buy it.'

"Bummer, well, I'm glad that you made it on time. Did you want anything for lunch?" Andrew asked while pulling out his notepad and pen. Darien nodded and told him what he wanted.

As Andrew went in the back to fill the order, Darien's thoughts wandered to the previous nights events. 'It's almost hard to believe everything that happened last night…

Flash Back

Darien was jerked awake by pain coursing through his head.

"Damn Negaverse, can't they ever attack during the day?" he mumbled as he threw back the covers and climbed out of bed. "Bet I can almost guarantee that they're in the park too," he smirked as he conjured a rose out of thin air and turned into his alter-ego Tuxedo Mask. Once the transformation was complete, he jumped off his balcony and followed the link that bound him to Sailor Moon.

Tuxedo Mask arrived at the park, "See told you," to see a youma getting ready to attack Sailor Mars, and Sailor Moon starting up one of her infamous speeches. He watched intently as the youma changed its target to an oblivious Sailor Moon. Being his cue, Tuxedo Mask leapt from the tree his was hiding in and snatched Sailor Moon just in time.

'Whew, that attack came faster than I thought it wou-' his thoughts were interrupted, however, by the youma intercepting their route to safety. 'Whoa, he's faster than I anticipated,' Tuxedo Mask thought while attempting to dodge. Though, was unsuccessful when the youma reached out its claws and sliced open both Sailor Moon's and his arms'.

"Jupiter Thunder…Crash!"

"Mercury Bubbles…Blast!"

The bolt of electricity hit the youma square in the back followed by a thick fog, allowing Tuxedo Mask to get Sailor Moon away from danger.

Shouts of "Mars Fire…Ignite!" and "Jupiter Thunder…Crash!" were heard through the fog as he and Sailor Moon waited to find out what was needed to be done.

Not too long after Mercury made the fog she told Sailor Moon what would destroy the youma.

"It's a regular youma, Sailor Moon, use your tiara and aim for its left leg!" was the conclusion. Sailor Moon, then, confirmed that she heard and yelled out her attack.

"Alright, Moon Tiara…Magic!"

The youma was soon dusted and the scouts started heading towards their respective homes. Once they were out of sight Tuxedo Mask chose to check on Sailor Moon's wound.

"Sailor Moon, wait,"

"What is it Tuxedo Mask?" She asked as a slight tint of pink stained her cheeks.

"I wanted to look at your arm. I know mine hurts pretty badly, and you got the worse of the attack, unfortunately."

"It's ok; I don't want to keep you up or anything."

"Don't worry about it," he smirked, "by looking at yours I get to see how bad mine is."

"Oh, so you're just worried about yourself. I see how it is," she responded while playfully sticking her nose in the air

'Wow, she reminds me of Serena when she does that. Hmm, there's no way it's her, but if only it were,' he thought as he let out a small chuckle. He looked at her and sincerely replied, "No really, I'm worried about your arm."

She slowly walked towards him, and started to turn to the side. She got dizzy on the way, though, and started to lose her balance and footing.

"Whoa, be careful," Tuxedo Mask said while gently catching her.

"Sorry, I just got a little dizzy," Sailor Moon replied quietly.

"I can imagine; you've lost a lot of blood. I didn't know that your arm was that bad." He gently touched the wounded arm causing Serena to draw in a breath, and wince in pain. "Sorry. We need to get your arm cleaned up and bandaged before it becomes infected." He gently turned her to face him. "I have the proper equipment at my apartment where I can clean, it up."

Sailor Moon stood where she was thinking. He could tell that she was unsure of what to do, and he didn't want to make her feel uneasy.

Slightly hurt, but not wanting to show it, he quickly and quietly said, "Well, you don't have to. I know that the scouts don't trust me, and I would understand. However, you need to get your arm looked at a-"

"NO, let's go," Serena interrupted, "I mean you save my life all the time. Whether the scouts trust you or not, I do trust you. Also, how would I explain this to the hospital," she finished while laughing lightly, easing the tension.

"Thank you," Tuxedo Mask smiled at her, picked her up and headed for his apartment.

Tuxedo Mask lightly landed on a balcony with Sailor Moon still in his arms. He gently set her down and walked into the apartment. After turning on the light he turned to Sailor Moon.

"Make yourself comfortable. I'll go get the first aid stuff, be right back." He walked into his bathroom and searched through one of the cabinets. When he finally gathered all of the stuff he needed, Tuxedo Mask headed back to the living room. He noticed Sailor Moon sitting on his sofa lost in thought. He walked over, sat down beside her and started tending to her arm. When he was done cleaning, he went to heal her arm with his powers. He very lightly and gently placed his hand over the wound on her arm.

"What are you doing?" Sailor Moon curiously asked.

"I'm going to heal it so that there isn't a scar," he replied as a gold glow emitted from his hand. The wound slowly disappeared.

"Wow, I didn't know that you could do that," she stated in wonderment. Tuxedo Mask just chuckled and smiled. Sailor Moon then grabbed the disinfectant and turned to Tuxedo Mask. He looked at her puzzled. Her only reply was, "You got hurt too, now turn and let me clean it."

Tuxedo Mask slowly took off his hat, jacket, and shirt to expose the wound. Sailor Moon didn't notice the pink tint on his cheeks, but he saw the red on hers and smiled a bit. Once she was done cleaning his arm, Tuxedo Mask reached over and healed the wound.

"Well, I guess I should go. Thank you for healing my arm," Sailor Moon said as she got up to leave.

"Wait…I don't know why but I don't want you to leave yet," Tuxedo Mask said as he took hold of Sailor Moon's hand. He stared at her face, taking in all of her beauty.

'Why am I feeling this way? I wonder what is caus-' his thoughts were cut off, however, when Sailor Moon moved her gaze to his. Their eyes locked, and in that moment time seemed to stop. He barely acknowledged that their faces were moving closer. All he saw was her, and when her lips were centimeters away from his, he closed the gap.

The kiss was simple and sweet. However, the longer it lasted the more passionate it became. The two broke apart breathing heavily and waited a minuet before they went back to kissing. Sailor Moon reached up to intertwine her fingers in Tuxedo Mask's hair but in the process knocked of his mask. The two broke apart and Sailor Moon gasped.

"Darien?" she stated in awe.

"You know who I am?" he asked in confusion, "Do I know you?" At that question Sailor Moon reached up and touched her broach. In a flash of pink Sailor Moon faded into Serena.

"Meatball Head?" Darien asked stunned by what he saw. 'I can't believe it, but somehow it all makes perfect sense. My Meatball Head, Sailor Moon…'

"Yeah, sorry if you don't like what yo-" Serena started but before she could finish Darien had pressed his lips to hers again. They couldn't seem to get enough of each other, though neither really wanted to stop. They continued to kiss passionately, as Darien lifted Serena up and carried her to his room. Continuing a night neither would ever forget.

End Flash Back

While Darien was reminiscing, Andrew had brought his food out and continued to serve other customers. Darien had absentmindedly eaten lunch before Andrew brought him out of his reverie.

"Yo, Dar, anybody home?" Andrew asked waving his hand in front of Darien's face.

"Huh?" Darien said snapping out of his thoughts of a Meatball Headed girl.

"Its 12:45, don't you think you should head to your next class now?" Andrew questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, you're right," Darien said while placing some money on the counter, "I guess I'll see you later, bye."

"Bye," Andrew replied watching Darien walk out the door and thinking, 'Something is weird about him today, I just wonder what. Oh, well…I better get back to work.'

Darien walked out of his last class at 4:00pm and headed for the arcade. He knew he and Serena needed to talk about a lot of stuff, he just hoped that she didn't regret what had happened and wouldn't hate him. In all actuality, he didn't know what got into them last night. Sure, he had had a crush on Serena since he first met her, but he didn't think that so much could happen in one night. He thought out what he would say to Serena the rest of the way to the arcade.

When he got there he sat down on a stool and ordered a coffee. He had expected to have to wait to see Serena due to detention, but was surprised when her and her friends, Ami and Lita, walked into the arcade shortly after he did.

A/N: Muahahahahahah...cough...cough. I need to quit laughing like that : p ! Anyways, hope you guys liked it. Again sorry it took a week to get out. Let me know what you all thought!

Oh...I also need to know which of the scoutsyou all want to be Serena's Best Friend. They are all going to be close, but I need to know for a future chapter. The choice is between Mina, Raye, Lita, and Amy. Let me know. The one with the most votes wins!

Thanks,
