Serena ran quickly from her school to the diner where she was supposed to meet the other Sailor Scouts. "Oh Rei, is gonna have a fit." She thought to herself before a hand reached out from behind her and grabbed her arm. Serena let out a loud shriek and began to get her free arm ready to slap the person who grabbed her.
"Whoa Serena, your seriously going to hit me?" She heard Spencer's voice say from behind her.
Serena turned around and gave Spencer her notorious nervous smile. "I'm sorry Spencer. I didn't know who you were." Serena said.
Spencer smiled at Serena. "Well, that's apparent." Spencer joked.
"Why did you grab me?" Serena asked.
"Well, I noticed that everyday you come to this cafe and I had a question that I couldn't ask you in class." Spencer said.
Serena kept her nervous smile on her face. "What a stalker." She thought to herself. "What is the question?" Serena asked.
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to go to a community dance tonight, possibly with me?" Spencer asked nervously.
"Well...I don't know, Spencer." Serena said, thinking of Darien.
"Oh...well that's okay." Spencer said, hurt in his eyes.
Serena let out a small sigh. "I'll go with you, Spencer." Serena said. Spencer's eyes filled with joy. "But only as friends." Serena finished.
"Awesome. I'll pick you up around seven." Spencer said, walking away.
Serena let out another sigh and started to run again.
"Late again." Rei said as Serena entered the diner.
Serena ignored the comment that Rei made and walked over to the booth where the Sailor Scouts were.
"No retaliation?" Rei asked Stunned, as Serena sat down.
"Obviously, something is on your mind. What is it Serena? Was there another attack?" Lita asked worried.
"No. Nothing like that. I just have a lot on my mind." Serena said.
"Darien?" Ami asked quietly. Serena shock her head slowly. The Sailor Scouts looked at one another then they looked to Serena with sympathy in their eyes.
Serena slowly looked at them then cast a look of suspicion. " Are you hiding something from me?" Serena asked.
"Serena..." Mina started, but quickly closed her mouth as she saw Ami's look of disapproval.
Serena's eyes started to shine with tears. "Darien is hiding something from me. Now, all of you are hiding something from me. Is there no loyalty?" Serena stated, tears about to fall from her eyes.
"It's not like that Serena. We all love you. It's just..." Rei started.
"It's just that we can't get in the middle of you and Darien's relationship. That is something you have to straighten out with him." Ami finished.
Serena wiped her eyes. "So you're suggesting that I go and talk to Darien?" Serena asked.
"Umm..." Ami stammered out.
"Serena, how about we forget about all the problems and go dancing tonight." Mina said happily.
Serena's eyes got big and she felt her blood rush to her face. "What are you suggesting, Mina?" Serena asked, knowing the answer.
"Well, I was thinking we go to this free community dance I heard about." Mina said.
Serena started to blush intensely. "Actually, I'm already going." Serena said.
"Great!" Mina exclaimed.
"I'm going with Spencer." Serena said quietly.
"Not great." Mina said.
"Serena...Are you sure that's a great idea?" Rei asked.
"Well, he asked me and I couldn't refuse and besides that he seems to be the only guy that cares about me right now." Serena said.
"Yeah, but you care about Darien. So, basically you have no feelings for Spencer." Lita said.
"I have feelings for Spencer. I have feelings a friendship." Serena said.
"Yeah, but..." Lita said, but was cutoff.
"Don't worry. I told him were only going as friends." Serena said, getting up.
"Where are you going?" Mina asked.
"I'm going home. I got to think things over." Serena said, walking away from the booth.
Dorlen stood on a ladder preparing the place with ugly red and black decorations.
"Ugh...This place looks ugly. Who's in charge of the interior decorating?" A female's voice said.
"Hello Morgan." Dorlen said, looking down from the ladder.
"Do you need help?" Morgan asked her blue eyes fixated on Dorlen.
"Not from you." Dorlen retorted.
"We're coming, you know?" Morgan said, changing the subject.
"Who is we? You and your fingers." Dorlen said sarcastically, walking down the ladder.
"Oh, shut up, Dorlen. You know we means Darien and I." Morgan said.
"I'm sorry." Dorlen said with fake sincerity in his voice. "I just can't see a guy taking you willingly to a dance. Oh wait...it's not willingly is it." Dorlen said, coming off the ladder.
"Oh, he loves me." Morgan said.
"Please!" Dorlen exclaimed. "Your merely a voice with no face. A siren. He's trapped in a spell." Dorlen said.
"Your just jealous." Morgan said.
"Jealous of what? Your remarkable power of stealing away a girl's one true love, without his willingness to leave her." Dorlen said.
Morgan gave a little glare at Dorlen. "What I don't get is why Queen Beryl wants me to steal him away from that girl. I mean he's good looking and he does deserve better than that blonde bimbo, but why would she want me to mess with their relationship. They have nothing to do with Sailor Moon." Morgan said.
"You truly are clueless." Dorlen said laughing at her.
"You know what's clueless, your sense of decorating. Are you sure you don't need help?" Morgan asked as Dorlen started to walk back up the ladder.
"Don't you have better things to do? People to bother." Dorlen retorted down to her.
"Well fine then. I'm tired of seeing all this ugly anyways." Morgan said, walking away.
"As am I." Dorlen said to Morgan.
Serena sat on her bed waiting for Spencer to pick her up. She looked at the ring that was placed on her ring finger. "Darien." She thought to herself. Luna walked in from the balcony and laid down next to Serena.
"What's wrong Serena?" Luna asked, concern in her voice.
"Oh nothing Luna." Serena said.
"Serena, I don't mean to worry you with anything else. But I want you to keep your eyes open. I'm positive that the monster that attacked at the store was from the Negaverse." Luna said to Serena.
Serena gave a slight smile to Luna. "You're not worrying me. Your just concerned." Serena said.
"Serena! Spencer is here." Serena's mom yelled from downstairs. Serena got up from her bed and made her way to the door.
"Serena..." Luna said from the bed. Serena turned around to look at Luna. "You're growing up." Luna said. Serena smiled at Luna and walked out of her room.
"Serena, you look lovely." Spencer said as Serena walked down the stairs.
"She sure does." Serena's mother said, her eyes shimmering with pride.
"Thanks." Serena said simply, getting to the bottom of the staircase.
"Oh, can I take a photo of this?" Serena's mother asked.
"Why, of course." Spencer said as Serena's mother grabbed the camera.
"Mom...I don't thi..." Serena started but was cutoff by the sound of a camera click.
"My daughter's first date." Serena's mother said. Serena smiled nervously at her mother then to Spencer.
Spencer's face cast a confused look. "What do you mean first date? You never went on a date with Dar..." Spencer started, but instantly stopped when Serena stepped on his toes.
"Ouch..." Spencer said.
"Sorry accident." Serena said.
"It's alright." Spencer said, giving a slight smile.
"You better get use to that. She's gonna be stepping on your toes all night." Sammy said from the top of the staircase.
"Oh, I'm willing to take it for Serena." Spencer said. Serena gave another nervous smile to Spencer.
"Oh, wasn't that sweet honey." Serena's mother said to her father.
"Whatever, you just better have her back by ten, lover boy." Serena's father said.
"Oh, yes sir." Spencer said, grabbing Serena's hand and walking with her out the door. Serena looked out to see a limo parked outside her house.
"Hope you don't mind. My dad's car is in the shop for repairs." Spencer said, walking to the limo.
"No, of course not." Serena lied, walking with him, her nervous smile still attached to her face.
Mina sat at the entrance of the dance waiting for Serena. She watched as different couples walked in holding hands. "I really wish I had a guy to come with." Mina thought. She looked around and saw Darien entering with a curly haired brunette. Mina gasped loudly. The brunette made eye contact with Mina, and Mina gave her a vicious glare. The girl looked away from Mina and continued walking in with Darien. Mina turned away from her to see a limo coming up from the corner. "Wow, that's pretty fancy for a community dance." Mina thought. Mina's eyes got bigger as Serena got out of the limo and Spencer quickly followed.
Serena looked straight at Mina and smiled. "Hey Mina." She said happily.
Mina smiled at her friend. "She seems so happy. She can't see Darien with that girl." Mina thought, walking over to her friend. "You know what Serena. I think we should go to...The Crown." Mina said.
"Why?" Serena asked.
"Because, dances are so stuffy. Don't you think we would all have fun if we went and played arcade games." Mina said, with a big smile.
"Umm...Mina is everything alright?" Spencer asked.
"Yeah, everything's great. I just think we should go to the crown and have fun." Mina continued.
"I put to much effort in this outfit to go to the crown." Serena said walking to the entrance.
"Yeah...But the girls told me it's boring in there." Mina said, following Serena.
"Where are the girls?" Serena asked, still walking to the entrance.
"In the dance." Mina said quietly.
"Then, it's obviously not that boring." Serena said, walking into the dance. Spencer followed right after Serena and Mina hesitantly walked into the dance room.
When Mina entered the dance room, she searched for the other girls. She eventually saw them sitting at a table, watching the dance floor. Mina ran up to them. "I've got bad news and bad news." Mina said.
"What is it?" Ami asked concern on her face.
"Darien is here with another girl." Mina said.
"Yeah...we know. We're looking at them right now."Lita said, pointing to them Mina looked in the direction Lita was pointing to see a brunette dancing while Darien just kind of stood there. "Wow he seems completely interested in her." Mina said.
"Something's wrong with him." Rei said, still looking at them.
"Ya, think. But that's just part of the bad news. The other bad news is that Serena and Spencer are here." Mina said, pointing near the entrance.
"Oh no. She can't see Darien here with that tramp." Lita said.
"Exactly! Lets do everything in our power to keep Serena away from Darien." Mina said. The girls got up from their table and walked over to Serena and Spencer.
"Hey girls." Serena said as she stopped dancing.
"Hey!" They exclaimed in unison.
"You were wrong, Mina. This isn't boring." Spencer said.
"Yeah, I'm getting pretty tried. I think I'm going to get some punch." Serena said, walking to the punch bowl.
Mina looked over to the punch bowl and saw Darien. Mina grabbed Serena's arm. "Punch is overrated. Dehydration is in." Mina said.
"Your funny, Mina." Spencer said. "I'll get you some punch, Serena." Spencer said, walking over to the punch bowl.
Mina gave a sigh of relief. "It's really hot in here." Mina said.
"Yeah, it is. I'm tired already and I barely danced." Lita said.
"Yeah same here." Ami said.
"Here you go." Spencer said to Serena, handing her a cup of punch.
"Thank you." Serena said.
"Hey Serena, I'm not sure if that was him, but I think I saw Darien by the punch bowl." Spencer said.
Mina gasped. "Don't be crazy Spencer. Darien wouldn't be here." Mina said. Serena turned her head slowly. Mina jumped quickly in her eyesight and started dancing.
Serena gave a look of confusion. "Why are you acting so spastic?" Serena asked.
Mina kept dancing. "Because I love to dance." Mina said.
Serena gave a quirky smile. "Hey Spencer, did they have food over there?" Serena asked.
"Umm.no. I don't think so." Spencer said.
"A dance without food!" Serena exclaimed.
Mina stopped dancing. "That's why we should leave and get something to eat." Mina said.
Mina looked up and saw Serena's eyes focused intensely. "Serena..." Mina started.
"Excuse me, Mina. I have to go and have that talk with Darien." Serena said walking away.
"Damn it!" Mina exclaimed, watching Serena walk away.
Serena took in a deep breath as she tapped Darien's shoulder. Darien looked down; he stared down at her coldly.
"Darien, I think we should talk." Serena said, looking over to the brunette that was next to him.
"Yeah...I think so too." Darien said.
"Away from the music." Serena said. Darien nodded in agreement and walked with Serena out to the parking lot.
"Darien..." Serena started.
"Serena, don't say anything. I think we both know where this relationship is going." Darien said. Serena looked at him, tears forming in her blue eyes.
"Yeah. It goes all the way to our death beds, Darien." Serena said.
"Serena I don't think you understand. So I'll make it easy for you. It's over." Darien said.
"What about the future? What about Rini?" Serena asked him. Darien said nothing as he turned around and walked back into the dance.
Serena stood there, tears falling down her face. "What just happened?" She asked herself.
"Serena..." Spencer's voice said from behind her. Serena heard soft footsteps come closer and closer.
"What happened?" Spencer asked putting his hand on Serena's shoulder.
"That's what I'm asking myself." Serena said as she turned around and cried on Spencer's chest. Spencer wrapped his arms slowly around Serena and embraced the moment. They stood there in the parking lot for what felt like hours. Her crying and him whispering comforting words in her ears.
"Oh My God!" A voice yelled from inside the dance. Serena jumped up and looked in the direction of the doorway. A man with long black hair closed the door and ran away with a silver crystal disco ball. Serena wiped her eyes and ran over to the building.
"Serena, where are you going?" Spencer asked. Serena looked inside a window to see people getting attacked by a monster with orange skin.
"Where are they coming from?" Serena asked herself.
Spencer ran up to her. "What's happening in there?" Spencer asked.
"Umm...Nothing." Serena lied. "Someone just won best outfit." Serena said. "You know we should go to the Crown." Serena said, grabbing Spencer's hand and walking away from the window.
"Okay..." Spencer said.
"Oh darn." Serena said as they got to the parking lot. "I left my purse in the dance room. I should go and get it." Serena said, walking back to the building.
"I'll come with you." Spencer said.
"No, you should go to the limo. I won't be to long." Serena said patting him in the direction of the limo.
"Okay..." Spencer said again, walking to the limo. Serena made a mad dash to the side of the building where she could transform.
