"Wow what a beautiful establishment" Amy commented as the five girls arrived at the dance. Each girl looked stunning, all dressed (ironically) in their sailor colours (Raye: Red, Lita: Green etc)

"And look at all the flowers" said Mina as she pulled Andrew towards them. "We'll get a flower garden of our own one day, only ten times bigger and better than this one" she promised Andrew.

Andrew didn't know if he should be scared or afraid first.

"Well there's no point standing out here" said Lita. "No ones going to see how pretty we look outside in the dark"

"With the mask or without the mask, with the mask or without the mask" Darien mumbled to himself continuously. He had never been this nervous in his life and he shouldn't have been.

"It's not as if I'm going to propose to her"

He sighed and decided against the mask. If he was going to have Serena take him back he needed her to take him back for who he really was, and not Tuxedo Mask.

"There all dancing except for me" Serena said to herself, standing on the side line trying to look available for any man who would want to dance. "Maybe I'm not pretty enough, I've done everything I can to look my best but maybe this just isn't it. Maybe men just aren't attracted to me. Perhaps I'll just stand here all night and when my friends ask I'll just lie and say that I was dancing all night and having such a great time. Oh there I go again being negative towards myself, I cant even support my own ideas that some nice gentle man may actually come up to me and ask me to dance with him. Oh how lucky I would be if that was the situation. Just to be held by a man while he guided my body along the floor. I wish I have been Sailor Venus, the goddess of love"

Serena thoughts where started as a man approached her from behind and whispered in her ear making her tingle from the neck down. His breath was hot and raspy against the nape of her neck. She desperately wanted to see who he was but she dare not turn around incase it was all an illusion.

"Princess Serenity, could I please have this dance"

She turned around instantly. "Darien!" she yelled as she slapped him and stormed off, running outside to the flower gardens that she had previously seen before. Millions of rose bushes surrounded the area, making her feel as if she was trapped by Darien as if he had designed this garden even though she knew that the was impossible.

He followed her outside, grabbing her and then turning her around to face him. "Serena" he said. His face was hidden by the night, leaving Serena not able to see the sadness in his eyes. "Why have you done this to us? Why don't you want to be with me?"

"You don't love me" she said, trying to make sure her voice did not break from all the sadness and tears that where welling up in her eyes. "You never have and you never will. I can't believe I wasted so much of my time on you and in return I got nothing."

"Serena, darling you've got it all wrong"

"Have I Darien, have I? I think that this is all just your way of trying to get me to take you back."

Darien pulled at his hair. "Why don't you believe me? What do I have to do to make you believe me?"

Tears began to roll down Serena's cheeks. "I don't need anything from you Darien, and the only thing I do need you can't help me with"

She began to turn away as Darien grabbed her arm and turned her to face him again. "What is it that you need" he said.

Serena sobbed. "I need somebody who loves me to mend my broken heart so it won't hurt anymore"

"Oh Serena" Darien said, his hand reaching up to stroke her cheek.
