Chapter 12 – Short Skirts and Past Flirts

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon!

A/N: Okay, sorry that this took so long, but like I mentioned in The Woodcutter's Cottage, I've had a lot going on. Including my b-day and a test tomorrow morning that I put off studying for to write this chapter. It's not the longest but at least I got something out. Sorry about the wait and I'll try to update soon, and thanks to all of those who have reviewed.

anangelslife - I'm glad that I made that part to your liking. I love it when Andrew does dramatic things. I know it may not be his character in the anime but I think I like him better this way. Anyways, I'm glad you loved it and here's the chapter you were waiting for.

givemeurcash - Lol!

searchingformydarien - I can't help but worry though. It's just something I do, though thank you for the reasurance! It's much appreciated :) ! I'm really, glad you liked both chapters and thought that the last one was funny. I guess I succeded in what I was trying to do. Anyways, I hope you like this chapter too.

cherrybunny - It wasn't really soon, but can I still have the cookie? O.O ? I'm glad the fluffiness was to your liking. Let me know what you think of this chapter.

LeftToWonder - They don't find out yet but they should soon...I think. Anyways, I'll get to it eventually : p . Hope you like this chapter.

Red-Rose18 - I know...what would a story be without Andrew to bring the comedy? Thanks for the review, let me know what you think of this one.

sailor lunakitty - I'm happy you loved it. Hope you like this one just as much.

Silver Moon Goddess1 - Thanks! I'm glad you thought so.

Supergal2005 - I'm excited you liked it and sorry it wasn't updated sooner.

ser - I'm glad you like the story so far. About the lunchbox. I did it that way to show that Darien knew Serena even though they 'supposedly' hated each other. It shows that he knows her favorite color is pink and knows that the Sailor Moon picture will make her laugh, and only they will know the secret behind it. Also, a few of my friends still carry around lunchboxes. Granted, they aren't pink, but I just thought it would be a cute touch. I do understand what you're saying though. Thank you for your opinion. Not many people take the time to send a review and I'm glad that you did. I'm glad that you still like the story so far and hope that you continue to read it. Thank you for your input and let me know what you think in future chapters as well. :)

Last Chapter

However, before the door was closed Serena stuck her head out, "Don't tell the girls, though. We don't want them to know yet. We'll tell them when the time is right, ok?"

"Sure thing," Andrew smiled before walking away whistling a tune.

Chapter 12

Thunk…Thunk…Thunk!

Serena opened her eyes to see…nothing. 'Huh? Where are they? Leet's did say the Temple didn't sh-' she was brought out of her thoughts by a moan coming from the ground. She looked down to find her three friends waking up.

"What are you guy's doing on the ground…this is no time to sleep, I thought we were having a meeting?" Serena asked as the three scouts slowly started to stand, while rubbing their heads and bottoms.

"We weren't sleeping, Meatball Head…you just surprised us by being early," Rei responded while giving the blond a funny look.

"Don't call me that, Pyro, and I can be early!" Serena responded.

"Anyways," Amy cut in trying to prevent a fight, "we should discuss the Negaverse."

"You're right Amy," Luna jumped in while setting herself in the middle of the group. "We need to get down to business scouts. We lost the last Rainbow Crystal and we don't know if it went to Tuxedo Mask or the Negaverse."

"Tuxedo Mask has it," Serena cut in looking at Luna.

"How do you know?" Lita asked turning her attention to her leader.

"I asked him," Serena replied, "and he told me that he had it."

"Well," Rei cut in, "did you ask him if we could have the crystals that he has?"

"Yes, I asked him," the blonde responded, "but he said that he couldn't give it up. He needed it to find the princess. Right after he said that he left and I couldn't question him anymore."

"Well, at least you tried, Serena," Luna stated, "It looks like we have to keep an eye on Tux and the Negaverse to make sure we get the next crystal. Meeting dismissed."

Serena just looked to the floor while the rest of the scouts nodded in affirmation.

"Hey," Lita piped up noticing the solemn mood, "let's all go shopping. I don't know about you guys, but I could use a wardrobe update."

"I could use one too," Amy supplied, "though we probably should study."

Everybody just groaned and drug Amy out of the Temple to have a fun day at the mall.

"Hey guys what do you think of this skirt?" Serena asked stepping out of a changing room of the store they were in.

"I think it looks great!" Lita enthused.

"I agree," Rei stated, "I think guys will be all over you. Hey did they have a red one?"

"Umm...maybe, I think I saw a red one," Serena off-handedly replied examining herself in the mirror.

"Don't you think that it's a bit short?" Amy piped up.

"If you don't mind my intrusion," A blond girl with bright blue eyes walked over, "I think the skirt looks fantastic. I'm sure if you wore that in front of the guy you have a crush on, he'll be falling all over himself to get you to notice him."

"You really think so?" Serena questioned, looking a bit apprehensive.

"Of course he will! That skirt looks terrific on you," the blonde smiled

"Thank you!" Serena smiled back and looked in the mirror again, barely noticing the blonde girl leaving.

'I wonder if Darien will do what she says he will. I mean the skirt is a bit short, like Amy said, but I really like it; and if Darien will have that reaction, I have to get it. I guess there's only one way to find out,' she finished up her thought to change back and purchase the skirt.

The girls all left the mall after they forced Amy to buy something and went their separate ways. As soon as the girls were out of sight, Serena headed over to a phone booth.

"Hello, this is Darien Shields," Darien answered his phone.

"Hi!" a voice chirped from the other side.

"Who is this?" he asked a bit confused.

His question was rewarded with some giggles, "What you don't recognize me? Honestly, Darien, I've only been gone for two months."

"Stacy?" Darien asked into the phone.

"What other girl would call you?"

"Actua-"

"I was only kidding," she interrupted, "I know plenty of girls like to call you. Even when they know you're taken."

"Stacy, what are you calling for? I thought you were in France?"

"I was, Silly, but I missed you."

"What do you mean, you missed me?"

"Well, can't I miss my boyfriend?"

"You broke up with me, Stacy. I'm not your boyfriend."

"How can you say that? You know I just didn't want a long distance relationship, but now I'm back so we can start off where we left off."

"Well, actua-"

Knock…Knock…Knock…

"Hold on, Stacy, I have to answer the door," Darien reached for the door and opened it to see a brunette standing in the doorway smirking at him. He shook his head and hung up the phone in his hand.

"Stacy, why are you here?"

"I thought we already worked this out. I'm here to get together with you again," Stacy, the brunette, replied while pushing her way into the apartment.

"I can't do that. I won-"

"Oh, Darien, we both know you wan-"

"Darien? Are you here?" a voice coming from the door cut Stacy off.

Serena hung up the phone after getting a busy signal.

'Hmm…I wonder who he was talking to,' she thought, 'I think I'll just go over there and see how he's coming along on his paper.'

She left the phone booth to trek to Darien's apartment.

About 5 minutes later Serena was leaving the elevator on Darien's floor and heading for the now familiar apartment. When she got there, however, she was surprised to find the door standing ajar.

'I wonder why he left the door open,' she thought as she made her way through the said door.

"Darien? Are you here?" she said aloud to see if she got a response before heading into the living room.

A/N: Ooooh...cliffhanger! Though, not big, that's it for this chapter. Thanks for being patient guys and I'll try not to take to long to update again. You guys who reviewed are awesome. Thank you soooo much. I love you all. Well, I do need to study sometime...unfortunately.

Sayonara,
