I'm baaaaa-haaaaaack! Thankyou so much to all of you who reviewed my story. The fact that you took the time to read and then review my fic is definitely inspiration to continue!
As a Sammy update, things have been pretty quiet. Spent the night at his house after the Christmas show (GREAT night ) but since then it has been one series of flirts after another. I blew up at him (again) and since then things have been great. Although I did tell him last night that if I had to spend a day in the office with him I would undoubtedly kill him by 10am. He didn't like that, so I may have to explain that he pushes all my buttons and I would probably not focus on my work and instead focus on him. Hehe, yeah I should explain that one. He did look a little put out at the fact I would kill him. Hehe oops. Anyway, back to the fun stuff, another chapter!!!!
So here it is: Second Verse, Same as the First

Darien groaned and placed his head in his hands. Just how he had ended up getting sick after all the precautions he took to avoid being near people when at their most contagious was beyond him. So now he had four strange birds in his house, a sick meatball head who was still screaming KICK IT TO MEEEE-HEEEE! and a head ache the size of Australia thumping against his brain.
Rubbing his eyes yet again, he jumped as Serena jumped up, her hair flying around like a golden halo, eyes springing open as her arms raised up in victory.
"I Won!" She screeched, her hands waving delightedly through the air at the prospect of winning her beloved soccer game.
Darien groaned and covered his ears. "Must you be so loud?" he asked, eying her warily as she slowly turned in his direction. As her wide fathomless eyes landed on him he mentally groaned for turning her attention to him. To be honest he was a little curious as to how she was going to handle him being sick and the four strange birds which all strangely cringed when she screamed.
Serena brushed her hair out of her eyes and eyed Darien worriedly. "Are you ok Darien?" She croaked, her sore throat getting the better of her.
Darien slowly shook his head. "I think I'm getting sick." He muttered rubbing his eyes.
Serena shakily got to her feet and stumbled across the room. Reaching out a delicate hand, she placed it against Darien's forehead her cool fingers doing wonders to the thumping pain. "Well, I would have to agree. You are feeling quite warm." Pulling back she eyed the four birds thoughtfully. "Would you four mind going into the other room for a moment. I need to do something." Smiling as they obeyed her command she turned back to Darien.
"Right." She stated, hands on her hips. "Onto the couch now!" Had she not been as sick as she was, Darien may have taken her seriously. But the red nose, red eyes and pale skin sure weren't working in her favour.
Darien's jaw dropped. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Onto the couch. Now."
Darien stood up, unsure of whether it was his fever talking, her fever talking or whether this was indeed a very bad dream which he was bound to wake up from anytime soon. Shuffling along the floor he seated himself on the side of the sofa bed. Swinging his legs over he laid down and watched as Serena moved to the end of the bed.
"Right. I want you to stay here until I get back." Pulling the covers up to his chin, she turned and marched from the room.
The second the door closed, Darien could have sworn he heard an explosion. With a gentle smile gracing his features, Darien slowly let sleep overtake him.

Serena faced the four birds in front of her. "Who wants to go first?" She whispered her eye brow raised in disapproval.
Mina fluttered forward. "I swear it was for a good cause."
Serena sighed and rubbed her aching forehead. "Mina, how many times do I have to tell you not to use my moon wand? It is a MOON wand, hence why it was given to Sailor Moon. No one else is really supposed to use it."
Mina's beak dropped open. "Serena?" she asked, her beady eyes widening more. "What's going on? You sound all normal. Why aren't you giggling madly and planning something on Darien. Heck, why aren't you screaming?"
Serena sat down on Darien's bed. Had this been a different scenario, she may have even commented on how nice his mattress was, but this was neither the time nor the place. "Mina. I've got the flu, more snot coming out of my nose than I know what to do with, I now have a sick Darien and I'm talking to four birds. I don't think this is the time to be hysterical."
Raye glanced nervously at Amy, before moving forward. "Serena, how sick are you feeling? Cause any time is the right time for you to be hysterical. It's what you do. Something happens and you go hysterical. Help me out here, Serena. Now we're getting worried."
Serena sighed again and buried her head in her hands. "I'm really not feeling well and what I would love to be doing right now, is sleeping some more. Maybe eating something too, but definitely sleeping. Plus now Darien is sick, so I need to get him some water. Plus just how am I going to change you girls back?"
Lita moved forward, her large wings moving to wrap around Serena's shoulder. They were very lucky to be on such a high floor, for if anyone could see this now, they would undoubtedly raise some sort of alarm. "Serena, let us worry about how to change back. Besides I move that Mina figure it out since it was her idea. You go and focus on Darien and get better, we want a better Serena back." Leaning in close she moved to whisper in her ear – "Besides when I'm back to normal size, I'll come and cook something for you!" Winking in the best way a bird could, Lita fluttered back and stared expectantly at Mina. That girl had certainly got them into trouble this time.
Shuddering under Lita's glare, Mina nodded. "I'll fix it, don't worry Serena. Now then let's go back to the temple and fix this mess!" Flying to the door she waited patiently for Serena to get up and move towards her to let her out. What she wasn't expecting was Serena to come barreling towards her with a rolled up magazine in her hand.
"MINA! I HOPE YOU ARE GOING TO FIX THIS MESS!" Serena screeched, waving the magazine in the air in an effort to hit her with it.
"I will!" Mina cried, perching herself on the ceiling fan. Hiding behind the motor, she eyed Serena warily. "If you stop waving that magazine I'll fix it."
Falling into a coughing fit, Serena lowered the magazine and stumbled from the room in an effort to find water. Finding the jug by the bed, Serena gulped the water down and eyed the remaining three birds in front of her, noting that Mina had high tailed it out the door, somehow having opened it.
"I would follow her example and leave guys. Let me know when you are back to normal and you can come back." Smiling slightly, she closed the door behind them.
Just what was this world coming to?
