Chapter Three
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tuxedo Mask sat unusually still. It was in fact a rather odd place to be at
night. In the bedroom,of his crush. Most guys would kill do be in his
position. Yet,from the ticked off look on Serenas face,he was pretty sure he
would kill to get out of it. Also,from the looks of things,he was certain
that either way,he may die tonight.

Mental note.

Never,under any circumstance,sneak into a blondes room at night,dressed as a
mask hero. To some women,this would be their dream come true. But Serena was
a psycho with an odd sense of humor.

He watched her for a minute,then her gaze directed to him. He gulped and
stiffed up.

"So your awake?"She asked softly,getting up from her chair and walking over
to him,the footsteps echoing silently.

"What the hell knocked me unconscious?"He demanded.

"My antique lamp,which,your replacing."She informed calmly.

"And might I ask why?"He asked,tightening his jaw.

"Yes,you broke into my house. And I thought you were a theif,so I attacked.
If you would use the door like normal human beings....I don't think you would
be in this position."She said quietly.

He grinned,"So if you untie me,and I use the door,we can talk?"

She stared at him,"Not a chance."

"Why?"He whined.

"What are you doing here?"She asked,ignoring his previous question.

He paused,what was he doing here?

"Er,I dunno."He admitted.

She blinked,"You don't know?"

"Well,no. But,seeing how I'm here. Can we talk about a guy you know?"He asked
hopefully,an evil plan forming in his mind.

"Who?"She asked.

"Darien Shields?"

"The pervert without a clue?"

"Well,I would have preferred intelligent sexy stud muffin..."He
grumbled,slightly taken aback.

Serenas eyes widened. Then she frowned and looked directly at him.

"Well,if thats the way you want to go. I mean,I should have guessed. Who else
goes around in a cape and tuxedo,throwing roses,and calling theirself Tuxedo
Mask without being gay?"She assumed.

He jaw dropped and he shook his head furiously,"No! I am not gay! I'm not
really I just know the guy and for a man,he is just hot."

Serena looked at him doubtfully.

"Come here,I'll prove it to you."

"What will you do?"She asked nervously.

"Will you just untie one of my hands?"

She raised her eyebrows and shrugged. Leaning down,she untaped his right
hand. Standing back up,she looked at him questionably.

"Now lean down."He said.

She sighed,this was getting old. What was he trying to prove anyway? Leaning
down towards his face,she waited.

Out of nowhere he grabbed her by the neck with his free hand,pulled her
back,and kissed her.

All was going according to plan.

Until the aftermath of his brilliant operation,'Grab by neck,pull back,and
kiss',came into force. When he pulled her back they both came crashing to the
ground. Causing a vase to slam to the ground.

That crash and break echoed throughout the entire house. The lights of her
parents room turned on,commotion was heard downstairs,and footsteps thundered
up the stairs. Her Father,no doubt,had gotten his gun.

"Shit!"Serena swore,scrambling up and dragging him into her closet,then
throwing piles of clothing on him and shutting the door.

Inside the closet Tuxedo Mask - or as he preferred,intelligent sexy stud
muffin- listened intently as a mans voice came through.

"Alright! Where is he?"The mans voice commanded.

A cock was heard,and he could only assume that her father had chosen his
weapon of choice.

"Now dear,calm down. Serena honey what were those noises?"A womans voice
asked.

"Where is he?"Another male voice asked,"I'll kill him!"

Ah yes,her older and overprotective brother. Things were going to get
interesting. Maybe he should have started writing his will at a young age.....

"Guys calm down! Luna was messing around on top of my dresser,knocked both
the lamp and the vase down,then darted out the window."She lied.

"But your window isn't open."Her father observed.

"I know that. I had just shut it when I turned and stubbed my toe on that
stupid dresser,then tripped backwards over a cord."She said hastily.

A chuckle was heard,"Serena you are a klutz."

"Shut-up Sammy."

Darien frowned,who was Sammy. He scratched his head with his left hand and
looked down. He was free! Wait,what was this....heyyy.....victorias secret
order! Quietly,he began to pile contents out.


"Now you see Ken,there is nothing to worry about."The woman said.

"But Iriene,I wanted to try out my new gun!"Ken whined.

"It's back to bed. And Serena honey,do try to be more careful."Her mother
said,leading a griping Ken and a yawning Samuel out of the room.

"I will."Serena said cheerfully.

Slam!

He heard snoring downstairs,followed by a sigh of relief from his angel.

He suddenly came face to face with Serena,whos eyes were wide and staring at
the object in his hands. He looked down and gulped,then hid the object behind
his back.

"You opened,my order?"

"Hey,why order cute lacy lingerie when nobody is gonna see them? I was doing
that for you."

"Get out of my closet,and go sit on the bed."

"Fiesty."He remarked.

She smacked him on the head,causing his hat to fall off. Which,it was a
miracle that it hadn't fallen off sooner.

Taking a seat on her bed,he stared at her.

"So,what do you want to know?"She asked quietly,sitting in her chair.

"Well,lets talk about you first."He replied.

She shrugged.

"How are you?"

She sweatdropped,"Tired. And I'll tell you what,I'll ask one,then you ask
one. Got it?"

"I take it your still mad about the lingerie order?"He snickered.

"Hmph,how do you know Darien Shields?"Sh asked.

"In my regular form. We are good.....er.......friends. My turn,are you mad at
him?"He asked.

"I don't really like being taken for granted. Just because I'm single,doesn't
mean he has to go make a bet."She growled.

"I see."

"So how do you know who I am?"She asked.

"Er,he talks about you,alot."He replied.

She frowned but remained silent.

"Who is Sammy,he your boyfriend?"He asked.

She grinned,"Sammy? No. He's my older brother. One of the voices I can only
assume you heard came from him."

"Older overprotective one yes. And I figured that your father owns a gun?"He
guessed.

"Eight."

"Eight?!?"He shrieked silently.

She nodded.

"So,completely off subject but......are you and Sailor Moon a thing?"She
asked.

He chuckled,"No. I uh,well. She's perfect,a bit of a klutz. But no."

"Would you ever date her?"

"Hey,only one question remember?"He said.

"Yes but you were uncertain of eight,so it became a form of a question."She
informed calmly.

"Your a psychotic weirdo you know that?"He mumbled.

"Yes,now answer the question."

"Um,well,in my true form,I kinda like someone else. But if she was the same
identity as Sailor Moon. Oh yeah."He answered truthfully.

"Hmm."

"Who is Luna?"He asked.

"My cat."She replied with a yawn,stretching her arms.

He smiled and got up.

"Go to bed."

"Just one more question."

"What's that?"He asked.

"Do I know both you and the girl you know in true form?"

He grinned,"Yes."

She smiled.

"Well,thank-you for breaking into my room and destroying my lamp,almost
sending my Dad on a shooting spree...."

"Hey you broke the lamp on my head!"He joked.

"Yes,but your still paying for it."

"Yes oh wise one."He grinned.

She snuggled into the massive bed and he pulled the blankets to her chin. He
leaned down,then paused. Would it be safe to kiss her forehead?

Go for it.

A quick peck on the forehead and he rushed out of there in record time,but
not before slamming into the wall.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A figure under the blankets groaned and snuggled deeper.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Argh!"

Serena emerged from the blankets,grabbed the poor noise making alarm
clock,then hurled it across the room. It slammed into a wall and broke into
several pieces.

"Wake me up,freaking four am."She mumbled,snuggling back in.

"Actually,it's half past ten."A male voice said in her ear.

"Go away Luna!"The girl growled under the blankets.

The person who the voice belonged to frowned. Luna was a cat. And cats did
not talk. He began to poke her.

"Go 'way."Came a sleepy voice.

The light hit his face. And it was none other than Darien Shields in her
room,poking on her.

He frowned again. Then it dawned on him. Leaning closer,he took a deep breath
and went.

"Beep beep beep!"

"Freakin' 'larm clock."She growled.

"Beep beep beep!"He continued.

"Argh!"

"Beep beep beep!"

"That does it!"She shrieked.

She absentmindedly grabbed Darien by the face,grabbed a rubber bat out of
nowhere,and beat him upside the head.

"Shewena ish me!"He yelled.

Serena blinked and stopped pounding. Letting go of his face,her eyes blew up
to the size of tennis balls once more.

"What. Are you doing in my room?"She asked.

"Your mother let me in."

"Are you aware,that I have nearly see through clothing on?"She continued.

He broke into a grin,"Quite."

Glaring,she hit him again over the head.

"Psycho!"

"Why are you here Shields?"She demanded.

"We are going to the beach today."He announced.

She raised an eyebrow,"And when did I agree to this?"

"Get dressed,we leave in a few. And your mother has already agreed to this,so
you can't get out of it."He said,leaving the room,"I'll be right outside the
door. So if you need any,er,help. You know where to find me."

A rubber bat came hurling toward him in response.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Can I at least turn on the radio?"

"No. We are gonna have a conversation. A three long hour conversation."

Serena folded her arms and sunk into the passengers seat of his red Ferrari.

"Hey Darien?"

"Yes?"

"You suck."

He shook his head,then leaned over and turned on the radio.

"Pick a station. It's going to be a long drive."He said.

She smiled at him and turned to 100.5 fm.

'What if I told you,it was all left to me....would you forgive me,
Would you believe?
It's almost that feelin',that we've met before,
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy....'

She leaned over and flicked it back off.

"So,are you sure Tuxedo Mask isn't gay?"She asked finally.

Yup,and so begins the long drive.
