Here's the other half. Enjoy. Oh and thanks again to everyone who reviewed/PM'd me!

Disclaimer: Sailor Moon isn't mine; and neither are the other famous things mentioned in the story (The Giants, name brands etc.).

Trying to hail a cab, Serena stood on the curb patiently waiting for a yellow streak to stop and take her back home. The sky was beginning to darken with the sun sinking behind a bank of clouds. The morning that had started out so bright looked to be turning into what seemed to be the initial stages of a rainy night.

Finally managing to nab one of the rushing vehicles, the blond ducked inside. Lady Luck was indeed smiling upon her; yet again she acquired a quiet driver. The ride didn't last long, and before she realized it she was in front of her apartment.

The elevator brought her to her floor, and the quiet corridor was a respite from the busy office that she had left. Reaching her door she opened it quietly. Vegged out in front of the TV was Andrew. Sitting in a pair of grey sweats and an old Giants t-shirt, he looked utterly jaded.

"Hey glad to see you're not crying at least."

"Please Usa, men don't cry."

"Of course not, sweetheart. I'm going to go change. While I find my comfy clothes, decide on take out."

"Why don't I cook?"

"You're on a break from everything while you're at my place; that includes cooking. So if you'll excuse me, dear one, I need something I can unwind in."

Digging through a mountain of clothes, Serena settled on a pair of shorts and an old Sailor V tee. Returning to her living room she got a laugh from Andrew.

"You still have that old thing? I figured you'd have tossed it out eventually. That live action movie came out when you were still like a freshman in high school." Unable to stop, he continued laughing until the small one next to him brought up a hero of his.

"Yeah? Well I know for a fact that you still have that old Tuxedo Mask doll."

"It's not a doll, it's a figurine, AND it's a collectible."

"Whatever. So did you come up with an idea for take out?" Brushing aside the bag of chips that lay next to Andrew she settled herself to his right. The pink that had settled on his face after his laughing fit seemed to fade as he sobered up.

"Umm, I was thinking maybe some Thai?"

"Sounds delicious, do you want to order, or do you want me too? I've got the number on speed dial. You'd be surprised at how well the guys at Thai Bungalow know me."

"That's a little sad Usa."

"Yeah well…" The buzzing sound in her purse made her jump a bit. Give me a sec Drew." Shoveling around the contents of her handbag she found the elusive pink phone.

The name flashing in front of her screen made her groan in agitation.

"Hello Darien. Did you need something?"

The voice on the other end of the line laughed quietly. "I need plenty, but I called you for business related purposes."

"Do you talk to everyone like that?" Standing up and pacing towards her kitchen, she shot Andrew a smile, and turned away. "Frankly Shields, you're starting to get on my nerves."

Sighing was clearly heard on the other end of the phone, "Darling, I'm trying to be civil. Now on page eight of my brief you've highlighted half the argument. This is crucial to this case; I need to know you're reasoning before I can change anything."

"I left the changes that needed to be done on the brief I typed."

"I don't want the changes Serena; I want to know the reasoning behind them. Part of the argument is centered on one of the crucial witnesses. If I disregard it, I lose the evidence that would surely put away this, person. It would be easier for me to rephrase or only drop part of it to make sure the integrity of my line of reasoning is maintained."

"Aside from this page, is that all you have questions on?"

"Well this is as far as I've gotten."

The surprise was audible in her voice as she whispered into the phone, "What? You're brief is forty-two pages!"

"Lucky for me it's only 6ish. I have at least another six hours to figure things out, right Miss Tsukino?"

"It's Ms. Tsukino, to you." With a disgruntled sigh she whispered furiously into her phone, "Do me a favor first, go through as much as you possibly can without me. I have a prior engagement with a friend, and right after I'll meet up with you."

From the living room came a bellow in Serena's general direction. The impatient blond in the living room was hungry after all. "Usa, I'm going to go ahead and order! Anything you really wanted?"

"Umm give me number thirty-two, the Tiger's Cry! Thanks you Andrew! Sorry about not ordering!" Placing the phone back to her ear she apologized for the delay.

"I understand. You have more to life then work I guess. Still I just didn't know it involved a guy."

"He's just a friend, but that's beside the point. I'll call you after dinner ok?"

"That's fine. Then I'll see you in a bit Ms. Tsukino."

Hanging up the phone she trudged back towards Andrew. Sitting up he observed her carefully. "I know I'm not the best looking one out of the bunch, but dinner with me isn't that bad."

Giggling at his comment she pouted, "Drew, after dinner I have to meet with the other attorney. I can't get out of it, his case goes to trial in a couple of days, but Rei and I agreed she wouldn't be bothered until tomorrow. I'm so sorry." Looking a little guilty she gazed up at him in hopes that he would understand.

Smiling gently he hugged his remorseful friend. "I know you have a life, its ok. I know you're trying you're best, and I appreciate it. Not to mention, if you're not here I can totally steal the bed while you're gone and then you'll be relegated to the couch."

"Thanks Drew, buy you're dreaming if you think you can steal my bed."

"We'll see if you can get roll me off the bed tonight." Releasing her from his bear hug he promptly sank back into her lovely coach. Trying to gather random magazines and papers off her table she tried to clear enough space for the Thai that would be arriving soon. Suddenly standing up straight she mentally kicked herself for not bringing this up sooner.

"I was cleaning and reminded of the fact, that neither one of us has been to your house. When do you want me to go to you're house and start the cleaning process, or do you want to start on that?"

"I'm a coward and would defiantly prefer if you did it. Whenever you have time Usa just head over there please. Let me just find my keys, and I'll hand you the one for the front door."

Searching through a duffel bag jammed with clothes and other "manly" items, Andrew pulled out a key ring. Four lone keys daggled next to what looked like an angry teddy bear.

"Tell me Drew, how old did you turn this past year?"

"Why?"

"Usually your age isn't an issue, but that's Kon from Bleach, and he's daggling right next to your house key."

"Oh that… umm well it was a gift. Yes! That's what it was. Though Usa, I should point out that you know exactly who this is. Why is a grown woman still watching Bleach?"

"Don't turn this around on me! You know what; let's just drop this conversation before we both get embarrassed."

With a smug face Andrew turned to the short flaxen haired girl next to him, "I have nothing to be embarrassed about, this was a gift." As fate decided, after Drew uttered those words the door bell rang.

Outside the door stood a young man who greeted them with small box filled with delicious cartons of food. "You're lucky Drew," she shouted over her shoulder. Grabbing her wallet from the coffee table she rushed over, paid the young man and reached for the treasure that was Thai Bungalow food. Sorting out cartons on the kitchen counter she was sorry the night wouldn't end there, instead she had to be meet with him.

I'm cutting it off there. Sorry. You get the backstory to the whole Darien/Serena thing next chapter. I would have included this with the other half of the chapter I just hadn't finished editing it until this morning. I'm limited on time- college takes it's toll on you. Though I'm happy to be doing this...even though I should be taking an online test at the moment...but whatever!
