7. Mystery Man
"So Serena I got to thinking…" Andrew started, staring at the blonde haired teenager, enjoying a strawberry milkshake. "You said you didn't know the color of your perfect guy's eyes?"
"Mhm." She managed to get out between sips.
"And you said you met Tuxedo Mask?" Andrew raised an eyebrow.
She nodded as she shrugged, in approval.
"Then there you have it." Andrew smiled knowingly at her.
"There you have what?" Darien said as he entered the arcade, late after picking his car up from the shop.
"I figured out who Serena's perfect guy is." Andrew said.
"Well I never agreed!" Serena defended, as a small blush filled her cheeks.
"Oh yea and who's that?" Darien said, sitting down on a chair, skipping out on the coffee that day.
"Tuxedo Mask." Andrew said watching the reaction between the two.
"So Meatball head's got a crush on the local super hero? Most girls now a days do." Darien asked skeptically.
"She did show us that rose." Andrew defended.
"She could have got it anywhere." Darien defended. No way was Serena that close to Tuxedo Mask. This girl was living a fantasy. He knew first hand...or at least he was pretty sure it was first hand.
"She said she didn't know his eye color and doesn't he wear a mask?" Andrew asked.
"If she really did know him, he'd have taken off his mask." He knew that part was a lie, but he wasn't going to let Andrew get away with this.
"He's a super hero, he's not supposed to take off his mask." Serena finally defended. "Do you know who Sailor Moon's real identity is? Or the color of her eyes?"
Darien looked at her for a minute, did she know he had a thing for Sailor Moon?
"Fair question Darien, Sailor Moon is the other local hero." Andrew said.
"But I never said I met her." Darien looked away.
"But if you did do you think she'd tell you who she was?" Serena said, already knowing the answer.
"Probably not." Darien said, as he shrugged.
"So that's why I don't know Tuxedo Mask's eye color. He's not going to reveal his identity to anyone." She said, secretly wishing he would, or at least to Sailor Moon.
"So you admit it!" Andrew said, to Serena as she realized what she'd just done and blushed again.
"Whatever, let her have her super hero crush. And just so you guys know, Sailor Moon's eyes are blue." Darien said before leaving the table.
He didn't care if they knew that he knew; most of Tokyo probably knew that, since Sailor Moon did look a lot like Sailor V…but knowing Serena was a huge fan of Tuxedo Mask…now that he didn't mind too much either.
