Thanks for the reviews everyone!

To Jovian Sun: You brought up a lot of great points. When I first started writing, I sort of pictured her as not having any thoughts of that nature but as I've gone on, I think that she has but she never really knew how to express them or interpret them and I think that she figured Darien would guide her more. And in response to your question about her being more relaxed based on the time factor, I think that Darien is/was relying more on the idea of the inevitable than she is/was.

Again, I don't own Sailor Moon or any of the associated characters and this is an M rated story for sexual content.

And with that, here's Chapter 2!

Chapter 2

Later that day, Serena walked over to Darien's apartment, knowing that he would be there since his work at the hospital didn't start until the evening.

"Hey Serena! I'm kind of surprised to see you today; I thought that we were going to see each other tomorrow, when I'm off."

"Well, I thought that this was pretty important so I wanted to talk to you about it as soon as possible"

"Okay… I'm ready I guess. Shoot." He said, completely mortified at what might possibly come out of her mouth.

"Well, I was talking with the girls and with my 18th birthday coming up, they were asking what that means for us."

"Us? Like the group of us? It means that our leader will be 18, right?" He laughed a little at his silly comment and waited for her retort.

"No, Darien. I mean for us, you and me. How will my 18th birthday change us?"

"Well, it won't I guess, right?" he said, wondering where all of this curiosity came from.

"That's not what the girls think. They think that you're going to want sex and that will change our whole relationship" Serena looked down at her hands that were clasped tightly with nervousness as she stood anxiously at his door.

Darien finally realized what she was talking about and he did want it. He'd wanted it for ages but how could he tell her?

"Well, what do you think? I don't want to do anything you don't want to do."

"I… don't really know… It hasn't really been something I've thought about, at least not specifically. And I don't really know much about it" She said, blushing.

Darien started to realize that this conversation was not going the way that he had hoped and wondered how he could lead her to the ecstasy that is sex.

"Don't worry about it, Serena. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it"

He smiled at her and she felt completely at ease just looking at him. Completely the opposite of how Darien felt. He wanted her so bad and even her naiveté was driving him wild.

Serena left, happy with Darien but now desperate to find out more about sex. She decided that since Mina was the one who brought it up, then Mina should be the one to explain it and Serena headed straight to Mina's place for her "sex talk".

Serena knocked at the door impatiently and Mina finally opened it after Serena's hand began to feel bruised.

"What are you doing here? Did your talk with Darien go well?"

"He said we can do whatever I want but how can I know what I want when I don't even know how to do anything or what it all means! That's why I'm here!" She replied, her voice becoming louder as she spoke quickly.

"To find out what it means?"

"Yes! I want to know everything! How it could change my relationship, how it all feels, and why people seem so interested in it!"

"Well. I can answer those pretty quickly: Closer, great, and because it's great."

Mina started to close the door, satisfied with her answers and Serena stopped her.

"Wait! You can't do that! You started this whole thing and I need to know what to do"

"Well, you know what sex is right?"

"Of course I do! It's how people make babies." Serena smiled at her sweet answer, starting to think about all of the babies she's come across and Mina rolled her eyes, pulling Serena inside her place.

"Obviously if that's your answer, we have got A LOT of work to do."

Serena tilted her head, confused and waited for Mina's reply.

"Sex is a totally different kind of human contact. You get to be closer to that person than anyone else, almost as if you're one person."

Serena thought about this for a moment; her and Darien, as one. She knew that she wanted to feel closer to him than anyone else, so maybe this wasn't a bad idea after all. But she really had no clue about the logistics.

"You know how that works, right Serena?"

"How what works?" Serena blushed. She had been deep in thought and forgotten all about Mina's initial description, just thinking about herself and Darien.

"Uh… sex!"

"Oh right! Well, I know that I have a vagina and he has a penis and when they interact, depending on what's been going on before, we could get herpes. Err… wait. That's not right… Well, it is but neither of us has herpes." She scratched her head a little. "Hehe. I think they should've described it better in Sex Ed." Serena blushed and laughed at her mistake.

"Okay… so we'll go with you having minimal knowledge then" Mina laughed, knowing her work was not even close to done.

"The first thing you should know is that your first time will probably hurt"

Serena gulped and thought about having pain in her nether region, definitely not her idea of fun.

"Hurt? I don't know if I want to do this anymore..."

"Yes, hurt. But it goes away before you're even finished and it doesn't hurt after that. Plus, I'm sure Darien will be very gentle and loving with you."

Serena thought about how wonderful the man she was dating really was. All of his kisses and touches made her feel special and complete, as if they were the only two people on Earth. When Mina felt Serena was paying attention again, she started her lecture once more.

"Next, you need to know about birth control. There are several different types and they all vary in their effectiveness"

"Oh, no worries about that Mina, I'm already on the pill." Serena felt relaxed about the birth control aspect and Mina stared at her confused.

"If you're already on the pill then why don't you know more about sex?"

"It wasn't for sex. I went on it to make my periods better. Geez." Serena blinked and rolled her eyes, wondering why Mina didn't know about the other uses of the pill, especially since she knows so much about sex.

"Oh… okay. Well that's good, one less thing to worry about." Mina smiled.

Mina thought about how much more to tell Serena. She talked about arousal, what different sensations mean and how to read them, and also the kinds of moves to make to interest a man, including things like groping. Getting into more details regarding oral sex or other activities may make her more nervous than she already was and Serena didn't need the added pressure she would put on herself with Darien. Mina gave Serena enough knowledge about intercourse to allow her to pursue Darien in that way if she chose, thinking that if Serena wanted to know more later on that she could come back and ask again.

I hope everyone likes the second chapter. I'll be interested to know if this is the way that you all thought the story would start to go. To be honest, I wasn't planning to go as in detail with it as I have. Either way, it's still a long way from finished at this point. Enjoy and I should be able to update again soon! The story is completed up to about Chapter 10, so as long as I keep receiving reviews and feedback, I'll continue to post.
