**Darien**
>After leaving Andrew--who was pretty mad at me--I went to the park and sat 
>on my favorite bench,
>facing the lake, thinking of Serena, and wondering about my mixed feelings 
>toward her. Then it
>hit me--I..I love her!  Oh my GOD, I LOVE Serena.. No wait a sec. I can't 
>love her; I can't love
>someone who hates me that much!  On the other hand, she never said that she 
>actually hates me,
>did she?  But what about that hug?  Maybe I should go and ask Andrew about 
>it, he'll tell me..>I'm sure he will.
>So I walked back to the arcade, well.. I sorta ran to it. There, some 
>waitress told me that
>Andrew was having his lunch in the back room ..lunch??  At 5:00 PM?? Oh 
>well, why should I care?
>I went to the backroom and found him reading a book, so I approached him.
>"Andrew I.." I hesitated.>"What?" he said with anger.
>"Are you still angry at me? Look...You know that I couldn't help it...I 
>always say things
>that I don't mean to her--she just gets on my nerve sometimes that's >all..."
>"Stop it Darien">"Stop what?"
>"Stop lying to yourself, stop lying to me. I am truly disappointed in you, 
>you never tell me
>anything. It's like you don't trust me or something. I thought that I was 
>your friend..?"
>"Now wait a minute Andrew!  You know how much I trust you!  Your not just 
>my friend, you are>my ONLY friend!">"Then tell me the truth Darien."
>"About what??">"Everything that a person should know about his friend."
>"OK Andrew, you win.  Just ask and I will answer. I swear to tell you the 
>truth, the whole truth,
>and NOTHING but the truth.. How about that??" when I finished, Andrew 
>couldn't help but smile at
>my last sentence and I meant every word of it. I would tell him what ever 
>he asked about.. Even>if he asked about-->"How long have you been Tuxedo Mask?"
>"About a yea--WAIT A SEC!  How?  Who? When? What? I.. No one.. I mean--" he 
>caught me off guard!
>How did he know?? I was ABSULOTELY shocked at his question. No one knew I 
>was Tuxedo Mask, at>least that's what I thought until now..
>"You are Tuxedo Mask.. I know, so don't even THINK about lying about it, 
>OKAY?!">"But how did you know?? And why didn't you tell me?"
>"Because I wanted you to tell me, but apparently you would never do that, 
>would ya??"
>"Well,I don't know, maybe I would..." I said then I asked quickly "But how 
>did you know??"
>"Well, do you remember when I crashed at your apartment 3 weeks ago? I was 
>sleeping on the couch
>when I saw you transform and sneak out; I couldn't believe my eyes at 
>first. It took some time>to let it all sink in."
>3 weeks and he never told me? I was really shocked, hmmm note to myself: 
>Never ever transform to>Tuxedo Mask when someone is close, stupid thing to do.
>"And why didn't you tell me Andrew?"
>"Well, I was hoping that you would TRUST me enough to tell me that 
>yourself, but I don't think>that the word TRUST is in your vocabulary!"
>Ouch.. Now that was HARSH. Andrew must be really mad to talk to me like 
>that-taking into>consideration that he is very understanding and full of 
patience-apparently >not at this moment>he isn't-
>"OK Andrew, I'm sorry, friends??"
>"Sure old buddy, its not every day that I get to be a super hero's best 
>friend.">"Oh that's flattering, c'mon let's go get a drink, how about that??"
>"Oh no you don't"
>"What?" I said crossing my fingers.  Well I admit it!  I WAS trying to let 
>him forget this>interrogation, but--
>"Give me some credit Chiba, do I really look that dumb? I didn't finish my 
>questions yet!">Well, it was a long shot any way.>"OK Andrew, you win, ask."
>"Serena.."
>Ouch, here it comes, the hard question. I didn't know what to tell him so I 
>tried to stall him>for a while so I could think of SOMETHING to say.
>"What about her?"
>"Darien Chiba.. I know and you know that you like that girl. But what I do 
>not understand is>why you treat her like that!?"
>"I don't know, she-just-well you know.."
>"No I don't know, why don't you tell me?"
>"She's just so cute when she is angry, besides.. It's the only way to get a 
>reaction outta>her--well the only way I know," I said honestly.>"Darien.."
>"yah??">"Sorry to say this but you are PATHATIC!"
>"What is that suppose to mean??"
>"C'mon Darien, getting the girl, you like so much, angry-just to get a 
>reaction outta her??>Why don't you act like a normal human being for a change">
>**Andrew**
>I kept trying to convince Darien to ask Serena out or to -at least- be nice 
>to her, but he
>admitted that he couldn't do it. I even suggested that I could bring them 
>together, but he made
>me SWEAR that I wouldn't stick my nose in his life, oh well.. There goes 
>the chance to play
>cupid...anyway, we kept talking until I realized-with horror- that my break 
>ended ages ago,
>so I left my friend and went back to work thinking about Darien and Serena 
>and hoping that>everything would work out between them in the end.>
>**Author -me-**>Five girls sat in Mina's room chatting about...
>"Did you see that guy at the mall yesterday? He was sooo cute," said Mina 
>with stars in her eyes.
>"Yah, he looked so much like my old--" Lita was interrupted by Ray who said 
>in boredom,>"Yah yah we know, like your old boyfriend. Would you pleasssssse 
change the >subject?">"What do you want to talk about, Ray?" asked Serena.
>"I don't know, all I know is that I'm bored to death!"
>"Well, why don't we study? Midterms are near you know" That-of course-was 
>Amy's suggestion.
>"NO WAY Ames!!  Even YOU can't make me study on a Saturday night, this is a 
>slumber party,>NOT a study group!"
>"Serena is right Amy, we should do something fun!" said Lita.
>"Hey I know!" said Mina, "Why don't we play truth or dare? That game is so 
>much fun!">"I'm in!" said Serena excitedly.>"Me too!" said Lita.
>"I think it would be fun, count me in!" That was from Ray.
>"So Ames, will you play?" asked Mina>"I don't know--I--"
>"Oh Amy please play!" encouraged Serena "Pretty please with sugar on top?"
>"Ok why not, I need a break anyway!" said Amy smiling.
>"Cool, I'll begin," said Mina "Serena, truth or dare?">"Dare."
>"Ok then, I dare you to call Melvin right now and tell him that you have a 
>crush on him!"
>As soon as Mina finished her sentence, all the girls-except Serena- laughed 
>at the unexpected>dare.>"But I--"
>"What's the matter Meatballhead, can't do it ??" said Ray.
>"Of course I can!" said Serena and walked to the phone with determination.
>"Hello, Melvin? I-I have a crush on you!" Then BANG she closed the phone 
>looking at her startled>friends.>"There, I did it!"
>"Not fair!!  You didn't tell him who you were, you should've told him!" 
>Mina jumped off her bed>saying that.
>"Well Mina, I said exactly what you asked me to say, you said nothing about 
>mentioning my name,>now did you?" said Serena grinning.
>"She is right you know," said Lita, "You didn't!"
>"Oh well, I guess you're right." said Mina disappointed.
>"My turn!" exclaimed Serena, " Ray, Truth or dare?">>**Serena**
>I knew that Ray would accept the challenge that appeared in my voice, and 
>she said exactly>what I wanted her to say...>"Dare." she said with fiery eyes.
>"I dare you to go on a date with Chad and kiss him on the mouth!" She 
>didn't answer me.>She got up, went to the phone and called the Temple.
>"Hello.. Chad? This is Ray. You and me are going on a date tomorrow night, 
>got it?"
>Bang and she closed the phone leaving poor Chad startled. When she did 
>that, I couldn't help but
>laugh loudly, seconds later all of the girls - including Ray- followed my 
>example and started
>laughing. It took us some time to calm down again, and when we did, Ray >said,
>"Lita, truth or dare?">"After what I saw, Truth!"
>"What are your true feelings toward Ken?  And remember, you have to say the 
>truth!">"Well...I like him...a lot." said Lita blushing.
>"So why don't you tell him?" asked Mina curiously.
>"To him I am only his friend, that's all." answered Lita, then said trying 
>to change the>subject,  "Okay it's my turn, isn't it?"
>I didn't mind when she changed the subject, to tell you the truth, I hated 
>to see Lita so sad,
>it was obvious that she didn't want to talk about him. Why did Ray ask her 
>that? We all know
>that she never wanted to talk about him. Reminder to myself: scold Ray at 
>the first available
>chance, hmm what a refreshing thought, ME scolding someone for a change, oh 
>boy am I going to>enjoy that..>"Amy, truth or dare?" asked Lita.
>"I guess..dare?">"I dare you not to study for the next physics exam!"
>"But-but Lita, I can't do that-that exam is next week!  I.."
>"AMY that's a dare, you HAVE TO accept it, I know you can do it! Look at 
>Serena, it never
>bothers her!" said Mina trying to encourage Amy and.. Woooooow wait a sec. 
>did she just>insult me ???>"And what is that supposed to mean?" I said angrily.
>"Nothing I was just trying to--">"I'll do it." said Amy interrupting her.
>"Way to go Amy!" I cheered forgetting everything about what Mina said.
>"Ok my turn Mina, truth or dare?" asked Amy.>"Dare."
>"You have a date next week, right?? I dare you to go with Serena's 
>hairstyle. No offence>Serena?"
>"Non taken, Ames!" I said cheerfully, Mina always wanted to change my 
>hairstyle, and now
>she has to go on a hot date wearing it? I would never miss such an 
>opportunity!>"But Amy, this date is so important, I--"
>"NO buts Mina; you're the one who wanted to play in the first place" 
>replyed Amy.>"She got you Mina!" said Ray laughing.
>"OK FINE I'll do it, so help me God!"
>Well to be honest the truth and dare game was the most important event that 
>night, after>that Luna and Artemis came and bored us -well at least me- with 
unimportant >boring 'sailor>business' stuff...>
