Shortly after the meeting was over, Serena decided to take a walk in the park. She walked towards the lake and sat at the edge. She was content to just sit and watch the ripples in the water. Moment of peace were so few lately.

Darien too was strolling through the park when he noticed a certain blond meatball head sitting by the lake. He stopped and watched her for a few minutes. Her face was turned away and her eyes were closed, so she didn't notice his hungry gaze take in the lovely sight she made. Her hair swayed in the gentle breeze and stirred her skirt around her legs. Darien let his gaze travel over her curves. He noticed, not for the first time, how her outfit gently caressed her maturing curves. He briefly wondered what those curves would feel like to his touch. But he didn't want to just feel her curves, he wanted to hear her laugh and see her smile. He heard her sigh and he pulled himself out of his thoughts. He moved towards her, hoping to see her lovely smile.

Serena heard movement behind her and turned towards the sound. She was rewarded with the sight of Darien. For once his face wasn't wearing his cold mask. She gasped slightly at the true emotion it showed. Her blue eyes met his as he stopped again. 'His eyes are so full of pain and sorrow,' Serena thought to herself.

'Her eyes are so full of life and innocence,' Darien mused to himself.

They didn't know how long they sat there staring into each other's eyes. Suddenly, Serena smiled warmly at Darien and patted the ground next to her.

The young man was a little confused by her warm attitude, but he complied. He sat down next to her and turned his attention back to her enchanting face. But Serena's focus was back on the lake, her thoughts a million miles away. 'She is really pretty when she isn't doing anything klutzy. She is almost like the Princess.' Suddenly unsettled, Darien turned his attention to the lake, trying to let it's peacefulness calm his racing thoughts.

Serena pulled her thoughts back to the present and turned her attention to the man sitting quietly beside her. It surprised her that he hadn't made fun of her yet. 'He is really cute,' Serena thought to herself while she studied his chiseled features. She briefly wondered what he was like when he wasn't so cold. She longed to find out, but was suddenly afraid to.

They both sat there for a long time just enjoying each other's company. Neither wanted to say anything because they were afraid to spoil the moment. Both wanting so much to be more to their relationship than the fighting. The sun was setting in the distance putting a warm glow around the young couple.

*************************************************

Luna was walking through the park with Artemis, when she noticed the pair sitting at the edge of the lake.

A scene suddenly flashed through her mind. Luna recognized it as the Moon Kingdom. Serena was dressed in a white flowing gown with her hair done up in her meatballs. Darien was in black armor obviously made for royalty. The two stood face to face, lost in each other's eyes. It was obvious to Luna that they loved each other deeply. Serena held out a small gold object but Luna couldn't see it clearly before the memory faded.

"Luna, isn't that Serena and Darien? I thought that they hated each other," Artemis whispered next to Luna when he too had noticed the pair.

"So did I," Luna answered a little distracted. She pulled her thoughts back together and looked over at Artemis. "But I think that those two belong with each other."

"Eh?" Artemis looked at Luna questionably. Usually Luna was yelling at Serena to get her mind away from boys, not encouraging it.

"Just a flash of something from the past," Luna answered as she turned her attention to the lovely young couple.

"Should we tell the other girls?"

"We'll talk to them later about it. Right now I want to see if they are truly interested in each other." With that the two nosy cats padded down to the edge of the lake.
