	Serena woke up the next day, a saturday, with warm
sunshine streaming in through her window onto her face.  She
groaned and looked over at her clock.  10:52.
	"well" she grumbled.  "Ten hours of good sleep.  Yeah,right."
	Slowly she got up and pulled on a pink summer dress and
white sandals.  While she was doing this she thought about last
night.  Why had Darien been so nice?  Serena groaned again.  Why
had she given him the locket?
	The more she thought about last night, the more she
realized that she wasn't mad anymore, and it only hurt a little.
Tuxedo Mask must have had his reasons for acting like that!  She
smiled.  he must have.  Now to get that locket back...~*~
Serena Dashed into the arcade with a happy smile on her face.  And
Darien noticed.	'i wonder if she's happy that the locket's gone, or
that she realized I didn't mean what I said,' he wondered.
	Serena looked around the room, the upon spotting him,
she rushed over to Darien, and sat beside him at the counter.Andrew walked over.
	"hey, Serena," he said, looking from her to Darien an
slight confusion.  "what do you want?"
	She smilied up at him as Darien watched (a bit
jealously) out of the corner of his eye.
	"Um..I think...A coke, if you don't mind."  She awnsered.
	"Sure' he said and quckly filled a glass, placing it infront of her.
	As he walked away Serena turned to Darien.  "Um, Darien?"
	He turned towards her.  "Yeah?" he asked nicely.
	Serena looked up into his aqua blue eyes, and almost
forgot what she was about to say.  She cleared her throught and
looked away.  "I was acting kind of odd last night, and I really
wasn't thinking straight, and so I was wondering if..."  Shetrailed off.
	"You could have your locket back?" Darien finished for her.
	Serena smiled a dazzeling smaile at him and nodded.
	'Never thought she would smile at me like that' he mused.
Nevertheless he smiled back warmly and pulled his bookbag onto the counter
(he's gotta have on for college, right?  Well it's *MY* fic).  "Sure"
	Serena stared at the bag.  "you brought your school stuff to the arcade?"
	"I was planning to study while Andrew finished up his shift"
he said and shrugged.	"you really are odd," she mumbled.
	Darien smiled then pulled out a box and handed it to her.
	Serena opened it and pulled out the locket, smiled,
and slipped it into her pocket.  She then, surprizing them both, threw her
arms around him.  For a moment all Darien could do was stay
frozen, but then he wrapped his arms around her.  all he could think about was
all the times he had wanted to do this to Sailor Moon-and Serena.
All the times he had wanted to kiss her.
	Slowly he turned he face towards hers, and as if the were magnets,
she turned hers towards his.  It was all too much.  Thier
lips met and for what seemed like an icediby long time, but was only
a few stormy seconds, they broke apart.
	They stared at each other for a moment, then Serena walkedslowly out the door.
	For a minute Darien contemplated his choices, then choose.
He ran out the door and quicklty caught up to Serena.  He grasped
her arm, and she gasped.	Darien didn't wait to hear her give excuses.  "I didn't
mean what I said." He whispered.	Serena looked at him, confused.
	"I'm not your enemy, I never could be.  i just need the crystals to
find out my past."	Serena gasped again.  "D-Darien?  You're..."	He nodded.
	She threw herself into his arms.  "I'm sorry for not
trusting you," she said softly.
	"Don't be" he said, as bent his head down to give her
another kiss, their arms still aroud each other.
