P.S. You guys have to read "Angel From Hell"(Sailor Moon fic)!!! It is sooo good! It's kinda rated PG-13 but really good! I'm already bawling my eyes out.

"I told you Serena. I don't love you. Which part of it don't you understand?" he snapped.

"Please I ask only for one thing" she murmured. "A kiss. Just one kiss and I won't bother you anymore… ever."

He looked at her azure blue eyes behind the glasses that asked, no, pleaded for him, his love, yet he couldn't. 'She's not the one.' His mind said. He watched her as tears slowly fell form her eyes. 'The girl who loves you, the one you've been searching for, all your life. You can't let her down.' The face that haunts his dreams at night, spoken gentle, comforting words whenever he was alone… No… He can't betray her like this.

A gentle hand caressed his forehead and cheeks. 'So soft' he thought as his eyelids slowly fluttered open. He looked up at the smiling face above him. He smiled at her and slowly sat up. His hands slowly crept to her small waist as he held her, not really knowing what it was that made him long for her more each day. The growing need of having her here in his arms, to hold her close to his heart…

A question quickly formed in his mind. He was about to ask her about it when she sensed what was on his mind. She smiled at him in his arms.

"I'm always at your side Darien. Even though you don't know it." Her sweet voice said. He chuckled at her. "My dear princess, I would recognize you even if you're a mile away… what makes you think that I wouldn't know you even at first glance?" he smirked. "Darien, looks can be deceiving you know…"she whispered in a voice so low that it was hard to tell if she was joking or not. She bowed her head as tears fell from her eyes, she quickly hid her disappointment and brushed those tears away before looking up to his face.

He felt her uneasiness and kissed her soft cheek as he pulled her tighter, never wanting to let go, never wanting to be disturbed from their peaceful state, never wanting to…

"BRINNGGGG!!!!" the shrill cry of the bell had awoken him and had tore him from his dream, his princess, his love.

"All right class, pass your papers in front, there will be no need for standing." A stern voice from the front said.

He groaned as he remembered where he was exactly. He pushed himself in an upright position from his desk as he reached for his test paper inside the compartment, his mind still lingering on the dream he had. ' Where could she be? And what does she mean by 'I'm always at your side even though you don't know it'?' he asked himself, all the while gathering his things and sticking them in his bag. He touched his cheek. 'It all seems so real…' He shook his head as he grabbed his bag and proceeded to the lockers, a small smile still lingering on his lips.

"So… did she visit you again?" a voice said behind him. He closed his locker as he looked at a grinning sandy haired guy. Sometimes it surprises him how could one person be nosey and still managed to be his best friend at the same time. Guess it was in the job description.

"How'd you know?" Darien asked irritably.

"Well… I'm not the one talking in his sleep saying 'I love you' over and over. So how was it? Did she say who she was?" he teased.

"Just shut up 'Drew, all right? I'll find her no matter what." He stated firmly. 'Why is it I see your face every time I close my eyes but when I wake up it's as if it's quickly erased from my mind?' he thought. He then remembered what she said 'I'm always at your side Darien. Even though you don't know it.' Those words were etched in his mind as if it was recorded there or something. He continued walking through the halls completely ignoring his blonde friend's attempt to bring him back to reality.

"Dare!" Andrew shouted at him breaking his train of thoughts. He shook his head as he realized that he was really obsessing over this girl. He tried, but still, he can't get her out of his mind. He paused as he found himself at the lockers again. Seems that his feet wasn't really paying attention to where he was going and went back to where he started. His thoughts came back to her again, the lingering scent of her hair, her soft silky skin, it felt oh so real for him. Even now when he close his eyes, she always appeared to him spoken to him and told him words that he had longed to hear, just held him in his time of needs…

"Dare… Dare… DARIEN !!!!!" Andrew's voice cut in as he finally snapped out of his own little world. He shrugged as he looked at his friend who was now frowning. "Look Dare, you can't spend you're entire life searching for some dream girl of yours! Live life! Appreciate what's there!! Why is it so hard for you to see that you have a great life and you just can't waste it looking for some girl that you THINK you love?!" he said in a furious voice. "What do you mean I THINK I LOVE?!" he shouted. "I love her! For Pete's sake! I'll die for her!! I don't care if I haven't really met her yet!! All I know is I'll find her someday and she'll be the one for me!" he replied with anger building up inside him.

Andrew calmed down a bit and looked away. Thoughts in his head where running wildly around, his blood beginning to boil. 'Darien could be so stupid at times.' He thought. With a suppressed voice he whispered, "Darien, I'm only trying to look out for you." He then sighed and walked past him. He turned around his eyes now full of worry instead of anger. "That's what best friends do. You shouldn't put your life on hold for anybody. I gotta go… " he murmured as he turned around and left.

He was right and Darien knew it. He always had "heated discussions or arguements" with Andrew when it concerned his 'dream princess', but lately it had been more of a fight, with his dreams becoming so persistent and all, appearing almost every time he closed his eyes. He sighed as he turned at the corner. He just took his last test for the school year. He was free. It was summer. He looked back to the now empty hall. He sighed again and decided to apologize to Andrew. He ran through the halls, his shoes clicking noisily as he walked the polished floor.

"So you're still going right?" He asked.

"We've been through this 'Drew. I-don't-WANT-to-go. Look, it's fine with you 'cause you have Mina and all… what do you think I'm gonna do all summer, stare at the wall with my back turned while you and Mina play tonsil hockey?" he argued. It had only been half an hour ago they had fought and made up, now they're here sitting at the booth of a café while arguing, again, about their summer vacation. The summer vacation in question was decided by Andrew a long time ago as a gift for Mina, his girlfriend. She became so excited when he told her he was taking her to Hawaii this summer. Of course, Andrew was one of those guys who were born filthy rich. And… so was Darien.

"Please? And besides, I already have someone to come with us so that you won't feel lonely" he grinned. "Umm… I dunno… so, who's the guy? 'Cause if it's Diamond again, I'm certainly NOT coming." He said thinking of the last time they've invited him along. The word gruesome doesn't even comes close to what happened. He shuddered as he replayed those memories in his mind. He shook his head as he look at his sandy-haired friend for an answer.

"Well?" he pressed on.

"Ummm… well… it's not exactly… I mean… ummm…" he stuttered. Just then the chime of the bell at the door alerted them of another person who had just entered the room. Scratch that, make it two.

Darien looked at the door and flinched as he was spotted by a one of the girls by the door. She smiled excitedly and ran fast, tackling him in the process. The other blonde girl just smiled and shook her head as she headed to the same table her friend had just tackled one of the occupants. He smiled at Darien and gave a small kiss to Andrew.

"Ummm… he-hey… Serena… "he stuttered. He looked down at the blonde girl who had just used his body for football practice. He saw her eyes behind the glasses twinkle with happiness.

"Hey Darien!! I'm so GLAD you're coming with us to Hawaii!!! I'm so excited!! It'll be just the four of us!! Andrew, Mina, YOU and me! Of course Mina and Andrew will be busy so the two of us just have to… " she broke off blushing at the last part. From the way Darien's eyes were bugging out, Andrew knew the silence wasn't going to last for long. He excused the still stiff Darien and him to a far corner where they couldn't be seen by the girls.

After a few more moments of just staring into space, his eye still twitching, he recovered and grabbed Andrew by the collar a crazed look in his eyes. "Wha-what does she mean by ME and HER???!!! What??? When did I say I was going????? And, of all the people in the world, why did you have to invite HER???!!!" he whispered frantically while shaking the already dizzy Andrew. The HER in question was Serena. A.K.A. Darien's very own one-girl fan club. Sure… there were a lot of girls who like him too, but Serena just, well, gets on his nerves. She follows him everywhere he goes, like a stalker… a very clumsy stalker. She always gets managed to be caught by him. One time she even tried following him home… but, thank the gods, she got lost following him. Sure it was flattering at first, but now it was just plain annoying.

"NO Andrew! I'm not going on a vacation with HER!!!!" he said in the most crazed voice he had managed to sound this afternoon. "She's just gonna drive me up the wall!!!"

"Please Dare?" he said pouting.(All right… I know it's a girl thing to pout, heaven knows, I do it sometimes… thought the results are… well… scary looking. I look like an old tortoise with a beak, well, not all looks cute when they pout… huhhh…oh! Yeah! Back to the story). "You know you don't look cute Andrew. You just look like a pathetic tortoise with a beak." (See? See?) he drawled. He then thought for a moment and smiled. Inside his head cogs started working, 'Ok, switch to back up plan!'it said. He looked at Darien for a moment and started to look as pathetic as he can be. He pushed himself to let a few tears come out of his eyes. (Think of Puss in Shrek2!) His brain said to the others 'All right! Operation Lost Puppy dog strikes again!' while looking at Darien's expression.

"Aww come on Andrew… you know this isn't going to get you anywhere… I… will you… Serena… she'll follow me all summer…I… stop that!" he stuttered but Andrew just continued with 'Operation Lost Puppy dog'

"I-I-I- Andrew, you know what she'll think! I-stop that! Stop it!"
