So...this has been very LONG awaited! The reviews that are coming in are so beyond my wildest dreams. I have to send a MASSIVE Thankyou to all my lovely readers, who each take the time to send a lovely response to this baby of mine! Ah, without you, this would not exist!

I'm sick again. I blame Sammy too. He was sick on Thursday and it seems he got too close to me and past the germs on! Ugh, that and I need a new mattress. My back is killing me. But hey, what's a little pain to write another chapter? NOTHING I tell you. Pain means I just have to write it faster...and I always said that last minute work was always my best.

sigh

Anyway, I dedicate this next chapter to Sammy, who is so like Darien in sooooo many ways. And hey I'm blonde like Serena, so it's a match made in heaven!! Haha.

So, here is the next chapter: MY head hurts.

Darien moaned as Serena fell onto the bed beside him. It wasn't that he wasn't expecting her to move to lay beside him, it was more that she had somehow landed on his leg. Meatball head didn't look that heavy, but when having her falling onto him, certainly announced how truly heavy she was.

"Careful Serena, my leg was there." He grumbled, trying to pull his leg out from under her.

"Shut up Darien. If you hadn't stretched out where I was going to lay than we wouldn't have this problem." Serena dug her weight in again and slowly moved off his limb.

"You are soooo not going to blame me for falling on me are you?" Darien finished his oh-so-serious comment with a well timed sneeze.

"Bless you." Serena replied. "And yes I am. It's not my fault your a giant who has to take up a whole bed!"

Darien coughed and reached for a tissue. "I can't believe you. I'm now sick – cause of you let me add – and yet you manage to blame me."

Serena sniffed and raised her chin in defiance. "Well I didn't ask for this." Tears welling in her blue orbs she turned away. "I HATE being sick. Almost as much as I hate carrots. I didn't ask for this either." Sniffing again, she lifted her knees to her chin and tried to keep the sob rising silent. She didn't want Darien to see her tears.

"Hey. I know it's not your fault. I'm just grumpy because I'm sick. I tell you what. How about we order some take-out and watch a movie?" Darien didn't like the fact she wasn't wailing. Loud tears he could handle. It's the silent sobs that really killed him.

Serena turned back and wiped the tears away, a smile shining through her tear stained face. "Could we get Chinese?" Serena's tummy grumbled in the response to her suggestion. Blushing madly she covered her tummy with her hands and giggled. "I guess I'm a bit hungry."

Darien laughed lightly and pulled himself into a sitting position. Throwing the covers off him, he let his head catch up with his movements and slowly shuffled across the room to the table by the phone where all the take-out menus were stashed. Pulling a yellow one out, he grabbed the phone and shuffled back. Pausing to watch Serena struggle to untangle her legs from the blanket, he laughed again and moved to help. Reaching around the frustrated blonde, he freed her legs and helped her settle under the covers. Handing her the menu he moved to the other side of the bed and flopped down.

"So what do you feel like?" Darien rubbed his sore eyes. His head hurt more than he was willing to share. The fact that Serena wasn't wailing like a banshee was something he wanted to keep. Forever. He hated her wailing. It was like nails down a blackboard. Shuddering he tuned back in to her response.

"Ummmmm – I dunno. I like rice. And chicken. And cashew nuts."

Darien sighed. "So how about chicken with cashew nuts and rice?"

Serena smiled again. "Sure. That suits me."

Darien coughed and reached for the phone and placed the order. Falling back against the pillows he reached for the remote next and began the slow process of channel surfing.

"Jeez Darien." Serena mumbled; her voice still croaky. "How many channels do you have?"

Darien smiled. "All of them!"

Serena gasped. Not even Mina who's parents showered her with everything she could ever want had that many.

At her shocked look he elaborated. "Well baring a few "adult" ones, I've got all the ones I could ever need. It beats hiring a DVD on a Saturday night."

Serena's eyes widened even further. "So, how many cartoon channels are there?"
