32. Rain at midnight (267 words)
Serena Tsukino
Another battle was over and another lecture from Luna about taking her duties more seriously was finished. Serena stared at the full moon and watched as clouds began to roll in and block the pale light of the moon. She figured that she was probably meant to be feeling something right. But she wasn't.

"Meatball Head? What are you doing out here? Do you realise what time it is?" Serena hadn't noticed that someone had approached her until Darien spoke. She ignored his questions and continued to stare at where the moon had previously been. Darien frowned as he looked at Serena's side profile. "Serena are you okay?" he asked cautiously.

Serena turned her head and blue eyes met blue. "Who am I?" she whispered. "I don't know who I am any more."

Darien's eyebrows came together in confusion. "Who are you? You're Serena Tsukino, best friends with Molly what's-her-name, friends with Andrew Furuhata and chocolate milkshake addict. Serene what's going on?"

Serena shook her head and replied, "Nothing. I'm fine." At that moment thunder rumbled above them. A second later rain began to fall. Darien shrugged off his jacket and passed it to Serena.

"Here put that over your head. Try to keep a little dry." Darien eyed her as she did as he said. "Come on, I'll walk you home."

As they began to walk down the street Serena glanced up at Darien. "Thank you," she softly said.

"Thank you for what?"
Serena Tsukino
"Just… thank you."
