AN: I don't own Sailor Moon, and go easy on me this is my first fanfic.

Changing Everything Ch5: Realization

Darien's world came crashing down, Serena… the most popular girl since middle school, Serena… the girl he's been going out for three years, Serena… the girl he thought he knew so well, wasn't who she seemed. On stage she was a graceful angel, with a soothing voice, very intellectual, and with beauty beyond compare.

How could he have never seen this before? How did this wonderful girl escape his eyes? But what if it was just an act he asked himself. He shook off that idea when he realized for the first time, her eyes shined with her smile.

This is just too much for him in one night. During the break between the show, he decided to go home. He needed to sort things out before he told her he knew.

…………………………………….

Serena poured her heart into "Cinderella." As she did every show, it was her only time of being truly happy. After the show as they went to make their bows, the director came on to the stage with the microphone. "Ladies, and Gentlemen, Mrs. Anne Leola as Cinderella." (AN: Serena's stage name I will talk more about next chapter) Serena smiled and curtsied, she was surprised when he kept talking. "Tonight she has a fan who would like to give her a present, come on up Mr. Black." Serena stared in "ah" as she watched Diamond, the guy she met after school, walking up the stage stairs.

In his arms was a beautiful bouquet of red roses. This was something she never expected; by no means did she ever get appreciation outside of her crewmates. It felt nice to be appreciated as he walked up to her and placed the roses in her arms. He followed with a peck on her cheek and exited the way he came up.

Serena began to turn red as she squirmed in the spotlight. Thankfully the curtains shut. Soon a swarm of girl came to talk to her about the "mysterious man."

Finally once the interrogation was ever she was ready to leave. She was tired and needed to rest up for their second and last performance tomorrow night. She left her dressing room, as she headed out. A hand caught onto her wrist and stopped her. She turned around groaning, jeez couldn't the girls give her a break?

"Eeep!" Serena squeaked. It wasn't the girls, but Diamond. "How do you do, Mrs. Anne Leola?" he snickered. "Okay you caught me." She replied. Serena told herself to be calm; she didn't want to do anything rash that would make him mad. After all, he now knew her secret. After 3 years, they now go to waste.

"I'm not going to tell if that's what you think." Serena gazed at him with questioning eyes, there was going to be a catch.

"Why?" She asked.

"I have a secret too. I'll tell you so will be even." He leaned in closer and whispered into her ear, "I like to act too."

She smiled. It felt nice to have somebody know, and not wanting to hold it against her. Unfortunately she knew everyone wouldn't be as nice as Diamond about the situation.

………………………….

Darien was half way home when he thought it through. He was going to confront her now, why he was still angry. So he wouldn't soften up, because he wanted to be mad at her. And he knew time would kill these feelings and make him forgive her, and realize she was right. So he started speeding over there so he wouldn't miss her.

Finally he reached his destination. He flung open the doors and began briskly walking down the halls in search for Serena. After all his turning left then right, left then right. He saw his girlfriend…with another man. No, flirting with another man, with roses in her arms. A new emotion developed in Darien that he didn't feel often, Jealousy.

………………………..

AN: Wow everyone! I loved the reviews and the number .lol. I'm sorry it's a short chapter, but I needed to set up the plot for the next one. Thanks to serena221 I got a great idea that you won't be disappointed in. Don't worry the next chapter I hope will be around 1,000 words, like the last one.
