Author’s Notes: WHEW! This has been quite the writing adventure, lately. (I’m booked solid... I think my mind thought I was more ambitious than I really was.) Though I vow to get all of them out and finished! Lets see, Up all Night, Rewind (which isn’t too hard, since I’ve got help), Three Wishes, and a few others. *sigh* too many stories. But I WILL get them all out. Thanks to Sailor Starlite, best editor on the web! Check out Rewind to see our joined story. (It’s fairly scary, actually) BIG thanks to her for getting this in here for me! If it weren’t for her, there wouldn’t be any story up here! Thanks all who’ve written me with suggestions, comments, anything! Mail is my life force, my power! Oh yeah, the person who’s name I couldn’t find before (again, sorry ^_^;) was Rachelle who thought of the movie! As usual, standard disclaimers apply.... Now to write the next chapter! -------------------------------- Title: Serena and Darien... together?! No WAY! By: Mako-Chan Part: 9 E-mail: Breeze13@hotmail.com Rated: PG-PG13 -------------------------------- “Greg, what are you doing here?” asked Amy, surprised. “I had to see you, Ames,” he said. Everyone else looked at her with keen interest.Amy, not to play the fool, said, “Let’s go somewhere.” The others looked at her like ravenous hound that had just been deprived of prime ribs. She and Greg walked outside a ways, listening to the birds chirp but not really saying anything themselves. Amy broke the silence first, “What is it Greg?” “Well, I really need to talk to Darien, I’ve been having some, well, rather important visions lately.”“What kind of visions?” “Well, visions of Darien and Sailor Moon... I see him in the place of Tuxedo Mask, kissing Serena...” Amy’s heart did a leap. Did that mean that Serena’s feelings for Tuxedo Mask were being taken over by Darien? It wasn’t any really big secret that she flat out adored Tux.“What do you think it means?” “I’m not sure. But the reason I wanted to talk to you, was to say that you may like me now,” Amy blushed crimson, “You’re right, I do, Greg. I like you a lot...” “You didn’t let me finish,” he sighed, “you and your friends are going to find new guys... or should I say old guys...” he barely whispered the last part, but Amy heard it nonetheless. “You’re saying we’re going to find old boyfriends?” the absurdity of the statement made her think of Lita. “Well, some lady entered the vision and told me not to say too much to you, so that’s all I’m saying about it. All I can say is, that I know you’ll be happy.”“Are you sure, Greg?” “Positive. By the way, I tied you on a test the other day, with out the powers... though I used them to find out what your score was on that test, too.” She laughed and they talked about school and studying from then on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- “Let’s get this one, Darien!” giggled Serena happily. Darien looked at the title, then in disbelief at the section. “This is the history section, Serena! Are you crazy, this is actually educational!” She frowned, “So? I like mythology, and I’ve never seen this one before! Come on!” she smacked his side in mock anger, “let’s get it!” He laughed, “What ever you want, Meatball Head!” She bounced down the aisles with him and stood in the short line to rent the movie. She checked her watch. It was only five! That meant that she still had six hours with Darien! After they got the movie, they rode back on the motorcycle. Much to Serena’s delight, of course. She was screaming “WOO HOO!” the whole way back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- “Leader Red to Leader Green, do you copy?” whispered Raye in the window directly across the street to Darien’s. “I read you, Leader Red, what’s the stat?” “Well, they just got home and are eating a romantic meal together in his dim lighting.” Okay, so Raye was embelishing the details. It was possible for McDonalds food to be romantic, wasn’t it? “Really? That’s great. It seems like things are taking their own course, and Amy still has the microphone planted on her, so it should be okay if you left.” “Really?” she asked, “Whew! I was starting to get bored following them around! Be RIGHT there!” She leapt from the balcony and onto another one. Being Sailor Mars had its advantages, after all. She didn’t really need to worry about falling down if she jumped down from high places. After all, she’s done the same thing with PUMPS on before! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Serena and Darien stopped for dinner (at McDonalds as you all already know) and were sitting at his table eating it. “This is fairly good for fast food. I mean, it may be all grease, but still...” Serena’s voice trailed off. “Yeah, I guess so. All I know, is that it’s pretty fast service and it’s edible.” Serena and Darien sat in awkward silence for a few minutes before Serena’s eyes lit up, “Hey! Wanna watch that movie?” she asked, “It looked really good, I’m a sap for romance.” “Really now?” said Darien, a quirky grin on his face, “and here you are, madame.” He said, bowing and giving her a rose. “WOW!” she said, her eyes nearly popping out of her head, “how’d you do that?!” He smiled, “We never reveal our secrets.” He offered her a hand and she accepted, pulling herself into his arms and said, “Thanks, this is unbelievably sweet of you.” He laughed, “What’s so unbelievable about it?” She sighed, “Well, a few days ago, I would’ve said that I couldn’t stand you... well, at least not personality wise,” she put her head down as she blushed deeply, “I mean, that is to say, you must know that you have plus looks...” He nodded and hugged her, “Yeah, I was a model, I know that my looks are pretty good. Though they’re not everything.” “Well, I’ve always found you cute,” she blushed again and said, “any ways, I didn’t think that you were anything but a jerk... well, a CUTE jerk. Then you proved me wrong with one simple evening of fun.” He grinned, and tears began to well up in her eyes, “Hey, Meatball Head, let’s go watch that movie, all right?” She nodded and they sat down. Serena pushed the video into the VCR and pushed play. The usual previews came up, though not exactly normal previews. ~ On the Tape ~ “The history channel is pleased to present the Mythology collection! Don’t forget to tune into your own history... Perhaps the civil war is of interest to you.” A woman appeared, “Oh, John! I can’t believe the war was won by the union!” “We’ll get em.”~~~~~~~~ “Boring!” Darien cried as he reached over Serena’s stomach and found the remote. He flipped through the previews and finally the movie came up.~~~~~~~~ A young woman with white blonde hair came onto the set, her hair was down in tresses of locks and a jewel was on her forehead (AN: hey, some things have to be lost in the translation!) She spoke, “My name is Serenity, and I am dead... maybe.” She glowed for a moment the the setting changed, the same woman was on a balcony brushing her hair.“Serenity!” yelled a voice. “Endy!” she giggled happily. Then it showed the voice’s owner. A cool brunette guy with medium long hair in silver armor. “Serenity, I know it’s dangerous to come here, but I just had to see you!” “Let me go down there, okay.”“Okay, princess...”~~ Flash ~~ Darien suddenly felt his mind itch in the back, not like the strange insistant feelings he got when Sailor Moon was in trouble, but more like deja vu.“Good night, Princess...”~another flash~“ENDYMION!”“SERENITY!” “DON’T DO IT! I LOVE YOU!”“NO, ENDY! I LOVE YOU! I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU!” ~end flash (AN: don’t you love my little hard to follow thingys?)~ Darien shook his head and concentrated on the movie. Though the girl in his mind looked a lot like the princess...~in the movie~ “So, Endymion, want to go to the ball?”“Of course, my sweet Serenity.” ~FLASH~ (AN: getting annoying yet? For a twist, they’re getting their pictures taken! Tee hee, just kidding!) Serena blinked and strained. Something was bugging her, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Something about the movie... “Good night, my prince...” ~another flash ~ (AN: I’m so unique! Look at the pattern, they are SO different from each other! I mean, Serena’s flashes are so much different looking than Darien’s, don’t you think?)“You can not go to the ball today?” “If it were only that. Evil forces are threatening the entire universe, this Beryl... she came out of no where, Serenity. I love you.” “I love you too... will things be okay? I mean, this is nothing mother can’t handle, right?”“I’m not sure, listen, I’ll have to talk with you later!” “GET HIM! HE COULD BE A SPY!” ~ End Flash~ (AN: I know, not exactly the same dialogue as the real thing, but I think it works, nonetheless.) “Serena?” asked Darien. He shook her violently.“Huh? Wha?” she asked him. “You were out of it. I asked you something and you didn’t answer, what’s wrong?” “Oh, nothing, just a little case of Deja vu.” He smiled, “Yeah, me too. I guess it’s just one of those days.” “Uh, Darien, I know that I wanted to rent this, but I think I’m getting a headache from it’s uh, dark lighting. Can we maybe turn this off?” “Plea- I mean, I guess so.” She clicked it off in a matter of moments. “That was, well, interesting.” “Yeah, Serena, don’t worry, it was supposed to have a depressing ending to it.” She nodded thoughtfully, “Yeah, I guess so.” She looked at her watch, “geez! What a movie! It’s nine now!” He looked at her, stunned, “We’ve been watching that thing for three hours now, and it isn’t even over yet?” (AN: hey, despite what people think they can make tapes with over three hours of time on it. I have one with all the SM eps on it (no commercials, of course) from the time when Rini and they go through the time warp, to the time when they kill the doom phantom. HOW many eps is that?) “I guess not... I better call Amy and see if I should go over there,” she said reluctantly. “Okay, Serena,” he said with the same tone of reluctance, “the phone’s in the kitchen on the wall.” She nodded and floated out to the kitchen. Darien sighed, ‘that movie was really freaky...’“Anderson residence, this is Mrs. Anderson.” “Oh, hi, is Ames around?” asked Serena.“No, she’s still out.” “Oh, can you tell me where she is then?” she sighed. “No, I’m sorry, I have no idea where she could be.” “Thanks, any ways, Mrs. Anderson.” She hung up the phone. “Well, I guess it’s just you and me for a while, Darien, Amy isn’t home yet, but I have to be there by eleven. That’s still two hours away...” ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lita had gotten ready before they left, and Andrew, Rita, Molly, Melvin, and Sherry had decided upon a separate table. Amy was so generous, paying for a night out at the Moon Kingdom Cafe’. She had worn her new dress, along with the other girls. Raye and Amy looked fabulous, and Lita was sure that she didn’t look too bad herself. Her hair was done differently tonight, worn down about her shoulders in a soft wave. The other girls wore their hair normally.“So, Ames, what can we order?” She laughed, “Anything you want! This is a celebratory blow out for our illusive match making skills!” “Really, Amy, you don’t have to go to all this trouble,” started Raye. Amy cut her off, “Listen, it’s the least I could do. This is all my scheming, so you’ll sit here and enjoy yourselves, okay?” “I guess. Though it’s a shame that the others are in a whole other room.” “Yeah, well, they’re fine. Besides, I worked it out so that we were together, in case something happened that was scout business.” Said Amy. “Okay, I guess.” Lita flipped through her menu, “hmm, I bet that I could cook anything on this menu, probably better than the chef does here!” “Wanna make a bet on that, my lady?” asked a tall man with waving auburn hair. Lita sat stunned, “he looks just like my,”“Old boyfriend,” chorused the others. “No,” she said insistantly, “this time I’m serious, he really DOES!” “Enchanted,” he said, bending down and kissing her gloved hand. A familiarness about this struck Lita’s mind and she had the urge to kiss him then and there. She fought it. “You were saying about being better at cooking, madame?” he asked her. “Uh, yes, I can cook anything good...” she was caught inside his gaze. “Well, I’m the cook here, and I think it may be fun to have a cook off some time. Or perhaps you’d like a job here. I’m the head, after all.” “Yeah,” she said, stunned. Amy and Raye rolled their eyes. Lita was being goofy again. But something about this guy made them all think that she was totally sprung over this guy. It was quite an evening. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AN: That’ll do it! I’m done! YAY! Break out the party hats! Only three or four chapters left! Whoo hoo! Now there’s only that three wishes chapter.... *shivers* and the other stories.... *sniff* I’ll never be done!
