That guy canmake me so steamed! she thought. She entered the park where she would take the shortcut to her house. Down a cobblestone path, over a bridge, andright onto another path that led to the corner of the park, just one block fromher house. The quiet of the park quickly calmed her down and before she knewit she was skipping down the path humming her favorite song. She looked aheadand smiled at the sight she saw; a couple cuddling on a parkbench gazinglovingly into eachother's eyes. That just might be me tonight with John. Serenasmiled at the thought. She couldn't believe that John actually asked her out! *flash back* "Hey Serena wait up! I wanna ask you a VERY important question..." Serena turned to see John coming toward her. He had Light blue eyesand brown hair that seemed to fall perfectly into his eyes. "Uh... Hi John. What did you want to talk to me about?" Serenaasked happily walking up to him. He was the most popular boy in school, and though he did have avery long list of dumped girlfriends, every girl in the school still wanted to goout with him. "I was just wondering if you were busy friday night. Maybe we can go out for Icecream or something..." He said the "Or somthing" part very fast but Serena didn't seem to notice. Don't sound too eager Serena told herself as she replied, "Really?!Oh, um I mean... uh I guess if your not busy..." Oh yeah really smooththere Serena, not eager at all. She mentally kicked her self for that one. "Great I'll pick you up for seven then, k?" And he left withoutletting serena object, but of course Serena wasn't going to anyway. The secondhe was out of sight she must have jumped 20 feet in the air. "Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"*End of flashback* Serena walked down her street, entered her house and ran up herroom to get ready. ************************************************************************** Darien was sitting in one of the booths at the arcade staring intohis glass. He thought back just a half an hour ago where he had met up withhis Beautiful Meatballhead. Yes that's right, Beautiful. He smiled when he thought of her. The way she looked, the way she smelled, every detail he had picked up while staring at her whenevershe wasn't looking. Yes there was no doubt in his mind that he cared abouther. But considering that she was 4 years younger than her and still soinnocent he didn't dare tell her how he felt. The way he saw it, it was his wayof protecting her. From what he was pretecting her from, he wasn't sure.All he knew was that she was perfect, and he didn't want her to get hurt orchange in anyway. So instead he admirred her from a distance like you would a delicate jewel or a priceless painting. Looking up from his glass he barely noticed a group of boys around16 or so walk in. He galnced at them and recognized one boy as John Cartman. Darien had Met him once and hated him automaticly. There wassomething about him that just mad Darien's blood run cold. Darien had heard manyrumors of the way he treated women and how he would trick them into fallingfor him and take advantage of the unsuspecting victims. So Darien wasn't too surprised when he overheard John talking abouthis new "GirlToy", as he called it. But, what caught his attentoin wasn't the fact that he would try to lead her on, bring her to his place, or thefact that he would try to seduce her. But more, the name of the new victim. "Yeah," John said nochalantly taking a whiff of his cigarette. "This time I got that Dumb Serena Chick. You know, the one with the weirdhair. She won't even know what hit her." John smirked nodding his head as helooked down at his watch. 5:33 pm. Darien's head flooded with emotion, No! Not Serena! ************************************************************************** Serena Sat in front of her vanity applying her make-up. Looking inthe mirror she pursed her lips and ran a stick of pink lip gloss over them."All finished" she said to herself not noticing that luna sat behind her. " And where do you think you are going Serena? We have sailorbuisness, remember? You have to start becoming more aware of our enemy. They arevery dangerous and..." Serena cut her off, " Luna can't scouts have any fun? We ARE humanyou know. Besides, this night can't be wasted on sailor stuff. I'll catchup on it later. Tonight I'm just going to be me, and with John!" Serenagiggled before she stood up and grabbed her matching blue purse. When she reached the hallway, Serena checked in her purse to makesure she had her communicator. "Just in-case" she mummbled before walkingout on to the streets of Tokyo ready for her date. *************************************************************************** Darien walked the streets aimlessly looking for any clue as towhere Serena would be. He couldn't stand to think about what might happen to Serena if sheever met up with John. She was too good hearted and innocent to see what wasreally going on. He checked his watch for the 50th time in ten minuteswondering what to do. He had to protect her even if it meant that she would hatehim for the rest of her life. It would hurt him dearly if Serena were toget her feelings hurt, but her safety was the one thing that he had on hismind. That is, if your not counting the unmerciful things he wanted to do to Johnto make him pay for even THINKING about hurting Serena. Next chapter will be out VERY soon. I like e-mail... give me some!!! ... sorry, gomen.LunarRose
