    Chapter 3


    Darien stood watching anxiously from behind a big oak tree that stood 
just outside central park. He had found John and followed him to Serena. 
Darien tagged along the entire date without Serena or John seeing him. Now he 
waited for what John had been planning. Though Darien didn't go one minute 
without thinking of making John pay, but he decided to give him the benifit 
of the doubt. He could have heard wrong. Darien decided to follow them just 
to make sure. He vowed to protect Serena from any danger that night.
    Serena and John were sitting on a park bench together talking. Serena 
thought about how the day had gone... perfect. She had gone out to icecream 
with him before seeing a movie. Now she was just waiting for him to walk her 
home. But before when she had suggested she go home john had acted a little 
strange. He insisted on them taking a walk in the park. Now they were 
together in the park which now lay totally deserted. 
    John looked at Serena, 'She is so vonerable now. I can't believe how 
stupid she is. Now's my chance, no one will ever hear her scream...'
    Darien watched as John grabbed Serena's hand and restled her down against 
her will. Of course he didn't even get as far as to lay the other hand down. 
Darien had him on the ground in two seconds. Serena just watched what was 
happening, too terrified to understand what just happened.
    Punches were thrown and soon John was running down the street as fast as 
his legs could carry him. Serena watched as he ran, her mind starting to 
clear. She turned to Darien who was breathing heavily, recovering from the 
fight. He stood there for a few seconds without saying a word, but scanned  
her over to make sure she was alright. Her whisper was barely audible when 
she finally spoke.
    "Thank you... uh, are you ok? Thank you... oh, I was so scared..."
    That's all that escaped her lips before she started to sob. In less than 
a moment Darien had his arms around her, as he spoke  soft soothing words of 
comfort into her hair. The shaking form in his arms clung to him as if he 
were the only thing supporting her from falling. He slowly made his way  back 
to the bench, still holding the girl. He sat down and pulled Serena onto his 
lap, rocking her slowly as she cried into his shirt. 
    When her sobs finally subsided she remained for quite sometime in his 
strong, loving embrace. She felt safe and warm while a strange comfort 
enveloped her. She raised her eyes to his looking deeply into an azure gaze
that she was sure she hadn't noticed before. She was still seated in his lap 
while her hands rested on his chest. One of his hands was held rather 
posesively on her waist while the other stroked throught her gold hair, 
gently caressing the back of her neck and sending tingles down her spine. 
Never once had John ever made her feel this way.
    Darien looked deep into Serena's eyes, not removing his hands from where 
they were. He would never let go of this angel. Her hair felt so soft in 
between his fingers and the smell of her shampoo enveloped his senses. She 
looked so beautiful in the moonlight, her blue eyes looking into his with 
such force that he felt her reading his soul like a book. His other hand 
rested on her waist, holding her close to him. Then she broke the silence,
    "Thank you... Darien, thank you for saving me."
    He didn't answer but instead pulled her into his arms nearer to him. He 
looked at her one more time before leaning forward ever so slowly...
    'Oh my gosh, he's gonna kiss me!' Serena thought as she leaned in also, 
not doubting for one moment her actions. His lips just barely and inch away 
he stopped to whisper to her, "Serena... I love you".
    "Darien.... I..... love.." Their lips me softly, gently, as Darien's arms 
pulled her body against his. He deepened the kiss, gently coaxing her mouth 
slowly open. She matched his kisses with her own, feeling his love through 
his lips that were now assaulting her own. She felt warm and fuzzy all over. 
Her hands were stroking through his black hair.
    BEEP!!!! BEEP!!!!!! BEEP!!!!
    The communicater brought the two lovers abruptly apart. 
    "Ummm... Sorry Darien I have to go now..." He looked at her puzzled as 
she stood up and grabbed her purse.
    "What? I don't understand..." She put two fingers to his lips to silence 
him.
    "Sorry... I love you" She pulled his lips to hers qickly for one last 
earth shattering kiss, before turning to leave the park.
    Once out of sight, Serena pulled out her communicator and glared at the 
picture in front of her.
    "Raye... couldn't you have gone once without sailor moon? I was REALLY 
busy and..."
    "Serena we need you NOW! This is an emergancy! Jupiter and mercury were 
hit and Venus is hurt pretty badly too... please hurry! I don't think.."
    But all that could be heard was static, the picture blank.
"Raye?!"
    Serena pulled out her locket, which shone in the moonlight.
"MOON PRISM POWER!!!!!!"
    In a flash of ribbons, Light, and magic, sailor moon now stood where 
Serena  once had.
