Interlude (A Continuation)
By Essence
Monday: 1 day
How many days had it been since they last saw each other?
Serena walked down the busy morning streets, her bag banging carlessly agaisn't her legs but she never felt it. She was to numb to feel, to bruised and batterd, all night she had layed on her bed tear pouring down her cheeks spashing on the already wet cover.
Only has the sun had risn did Serena fall to sleep only to be brought back by the shattering cry of her alarm clock. Hateful thing it was interupting her dreams and making her live a normal life. Hateful world they lived in, telling her to stay away from him.
'Your to young! He'll only tear your heart into pieces and throw it to the ground. He's to old!'
What do they know, had they ever felt what she felt everytime he graced her mind. Oh to see him again to lay in his arms, to feel his kisses burn her skin.
Serena stopped and looked up the wind blew past flinging up her skirt throwing her hair to reach toward a figure in the distance.
" Darien?" she whispered the bag falling from her lifeless fingers.
" Darien?" the cry was repeated again louder so only she could hear it.
Serena began to run forward, forgeting everything except him, his back was to her but has if feeling her pressence he slowly turned around and...
Serena stopped one hand coming to her mouth, the man looked over his shoulder green eyes searching for something before lighting up. A womyn came into view, red hair gleaming has she reached up and gave the man a kiss on the cheek.
It wasn't him afterall, just the same colored hair and a green jacket but it wasn't him.
" Serena?" a voice asked from behind her.
Serena fought back the tears threatning to come forth and pasted on a smile.
" Oh hello Molly," she said brightly turning to her friend.
" Serena are you okay? You look like your dog just died or something."
" Oh no, I'm fine I just kind of down today because..uh.. I'm sort of broke and I wanted to play the new Sailor V game at the arcade," Serena replied coming up with a lie to diverge the reason she wanted to cry.
" Oh, well you dropped this," Molly said holding up Serena's discarded bag. " I was calling to you forever back there but you never heard me. It's like you were on another planet or something."
" Just thinking about something," Serena replied taking the bag from Molly and beganing to walk again.
The couple had disappered somewhere probaly on to the bus that now rumbled pass them.
" What were you thinking of?" Molly asked falling into step beside her friend.
" Um.. the killer math we have this morning in Haruna's class," Serena replied searching her mind for something.
" Oh, yea I know I spent all night studying for it. I just know that I have to beat the Melvin with a higher score," Molly began rambaling on until they got to school.
Serena soon stopped lisitining to her friend and went back to her private thoughts.
* * * * *
" Did you see Serena today? She was so quiet and lifeless it was almost scary!" Helen whispered to the girl next to her.
" Yea I know, she was on time to class and everything, but she never really said anything when I asked her a question," Kristen replied looking over to where Serena sat alone under a tree quietly eating her lunch.
" Hey Serena, want some company?" Lita asked walking up to her friend. Behind her Ami walked up her arms full of her bento lunch and some books.
" Oh hi guys," Serena replied giving her friends a small smile and taking another bite of her rice.
" Serena are you okay? You have been very quiet lately, I don't know but it seems like you have retreated into yourself," Ami asked sitting down across from her friend and laying her books on the ground.
" Oh I'm fine Ami, don't worry," Serena replied waving her hand and smiling.
" Well if anything is wrong, just remeber you can always come to us with all your problems," Lita added sitting next to Serena and stretching out her legs.
" Speaking of problems, I was talking to Luna and she seems to think that the 5th sailor scout will appear soon. Except she's not sure since the disturbances with the Dark Kingdom has increased ten fold and were being attacked by more youma," Ami pointed out pulling on her glasses.
" Yadda yadda yadda Ami, this is lunch time we should be having fun and relaxing, not talking about Negaverse activaty. If they do attack though, I'll just put them in their place," Lita replied sticking out her chest and jabbing it with her thumb.
" Yes, but it seems the youma has increased in strength the more they attack and Zoiciste has 4 rainbow crystals while we only have and Tuxedo Mask has two. We don't know if he is a friend or and enemy, Luna seems to think he's an enemy but if he is why does he come to our rescue so much?" Ami asked.
" I don't know," Lita replied growing more serious. " Prehaps he's only coming to our rescue in order to get the rainbow crystal we have. He did say his mission was to get them and we could go to any heights to achieve his mission. What do you think Serena?"
Serena didn't hear her though, she was staring into the bento lunch her mother her made. Tears welled up in her eyes, sitting among the rice and cucumber rolls, spicy pickles and small bit of crackers smeared with salmon paste.
' This is what we ate togethor in the darkning room when I sat with him.'
" Serena are you okay?" Lita asked placing one hand on her friends sholder and bending forward to look into her eyes.
" Yes, I'm fine," Serena replied in a choked voice setting down the lunch. " If you'll excuse me I'm not feeling hungry anymore." Serena stood up and walked off leaving the forgotten bento.
" I wonder what that was about?" Lita asked watching her friend walk off.
" She seems to be acting very strangely, even for Serena," Ami replied looking into the bento lunch and adjusting her glasses.
* * * * *
Serena was feeling a little better that afternoon has she walked out of school. Around her people laughed and talked and a few called out to her but she only greeted them with a small smile or a brief wave. Serena simpily wanted to be home, she needed time to be by herself and cry over Darien. Oh how she wanted to see him, but there was no use in looking for him, he had told her that they could not see each other out of the confines of his apartment.
'" But tomarrow if you call I may not be here...and even if I am. I may have to leave you unexpectedly, without explanation."'
" Serena! Hey wait up!" A voice called from behind her.
Serena stopped and turned around to see Lita and Ami running up. Her pink bento lunch swinging in Lita's outstreched hand.
" You forgot this Serena!" Lita called running up and handing Serena the box.
" We also came to ask you if you wanted some company walking home?" Ami added coming up behind her Lita.
" Thank you, I would love some," Serena replied smling at both her friends and looping the white strings around her hand.
" Hey Serena, did you remeber we have a scout meeting in an hour and a half at Rei's temple," Lita pointed out.
" No, I remebered it just gives me enough time to run home and change before I leave. Don't worry I'll be there," Serena replied.
" Yes, maybe Luna will have some more information on the nex Sailor Scout and what's happening with the Dark Kingdom," Ami said bringing the conversation to a more serious point.
" Ami, what you need is a boyfriend," Lita sighed.
" What?!" Ami replied blushing at the thought.
" You do, your so serious all the time! You need a boyfriend to cheer you up! Don't you agree Serena?"
'" Is that the kind of boyfriend you want?"'
" Darien..." Serena whispered tears welling up in her eyes.
" Serena what did you say? Are you okay?" Lita asked giving her friend a weird look.
" No, I'm fine guys!" Serena replied giving Lita a big smile. " Oh look here's my turn off, well I'll see you at the meeting" Bye!" She called running around the corner waving her lunch at her friends.
" I wonder why she keeps running off everytime I ask her a question?" Lita asked watching two blond pigtails disapper down the street.
" I'm not sure," Ami replied wondering why her friend looked like she was about to cry.
* * * * *
" Is that you Serena?" Ikuko called from the kitchen.
" Yes Mama," Serena replied pulling off her shoes and putting on her slippers.
" I made some muffins if you would like some."
" Thank you Mama, but I'm not hungry," Serena replied running up the stairs, her hand gliding over the smooth banister.
Her rooms was quiet when she walked on, Luna had probaly already left for the meeting. Serena only had time to change out of her uniform before she must leave. Down went the bag, thumping on the floor the lock disengaging itself and opening the flap. The Crescent Moon Wand slipping out has Serena pulled some things out of a drawer and pulled off her blouse throwing it on to the floor, next followed her skirt and white slip joining the blouse on the ground.
Serena pulled on her sleeveless red top and short blue skirt, straighting the flounces before grabbing a red pair of shoes and running out of the room but not before retreving her locket.
" Serena, where are you going?" Ikuko asked peeking out of the kitchen, a spatula in her hand.
" Rei's, were having a study meeting," Serena replied slipping on her other shoe and running out the door.
" Please be home at 6pm! Your father is complaining about never seeing you anymore!" Ikuko called out.
" Okay Mom!" Serena yelled in reply.
* * * * *
The walk to Rei's was quiet, even though she didn't want to admit it, her eyes wandered around her searching for Darien. She never saw him though and she climbed the mountion of stairs she was tired and only wanted to go home and sleep.
The other girls had already arrived and were assembled on the porch chatting with glasses of green tea next to them.
" Hi everyone," Serena called out walking up to them, a smile on her face.
" Hi Serena," Rei replied softly looking away from the girl.
" Well I'm glad to see your looking better," Lita said happily diverging her attention away from the quiet Rei.
" Okay now that Serena is here we can get started," Luna spoke up walking into the center of the group while Serena took a seat next Ami.
" Yes, I was just looking into some battle data from our last battle. It seems that the youma are being sent her to diverge from us trying to capture the rainbow crystals from Zoiciste," Ami said clicking away in her mini computer.
" In laymens terms please," Lita asked looking confused.
" Basically Zoiciste is trying to get our rainbow crystals by using youma but doesn't seem to be succeding. Her next plan of tatic might be to forwardly attack us or to come up with a plan to lure us out and capture our crystal," Ami translated closing the computer.
" Do you mean like kidnapping someone we know and exchanging them for our crystal?" Lita asked looking at Luna.
" She might, she could try and kipnap Tuxedo Mask, or anyone else we know," Rei spoke up.
" Yes, but I highly doubt it since she would probaly pass over Tuxedo Mask for someone closer and we don't even know if Tuxedo Mask is our friend. He may be a general of the Dark Kingdom and just working undercover to help them," Luna pointed out from her perch on the ground.
" I don't think so, Tuxedo Mask would never work for the Negaverse. I know he's working for us, he told me his mission is to find the crystals so he can know who he is, I don't know but I think it's romantic and no matter what we should trust him," Serena said softly, her glass of green tea clutched tightly in her hand.
" Serena I know you harbor some kind of crush on this man but you must always remeber he said he will go to any extreme to get the crystals even the one we have, he's not one to be trusted," Lita replied looking at her friend.
" Lita's right, we should stay away from him and stop relying on his help all the time. We are just has strong on our own feet," Luna nodded in agreement.
" Rei are you okay?" Ami asked looking behind her to the quiet girl staring at the ground.
"I'm fine," Rei replied harshly looking away.
The others and Luna exchanged looks and quickly went back to the conversation of the Negaverse. Serena still couldn't help but feel a little strange at Rei's behavior, it was a feeling like a knot tying itself in her stomach.
" You want to go to Crowns for awhile?" Lita asked Serena has they walked down the stairs.
" I'm sorry but I can't, my mom wants me home for dinner," Serena replied.
" Okay, well I guess Andrew is all mine then," Lita said proudly.
" You have fun then, if he asks after me tell him I went home," Serena replied.
" What? Your not mad over the fact that I'm going to get Andrew?" Lita asked a little shocked.
" No, I better go before I'm late," Serena called over her shoulder running down the rest of the stairs.
" Something is definatly off with her," Ami spoke up from the other side of Lita.
" I agree, she's strangly not herself, it's like an alien took over her body," Lita responded in agreement. " But hey you want to go to Crowns with me?"
" I can't I have to study also," Ami replied from inside her book.
" Jeez," Lita grumbled.
* * * * *
Serena walked down the crowded street, head slightly down, hands clasped behind her. Being careful not bump into anyone she retreated into her thoughts, occasionaly looking up to see her surroundings.
People walking home or to one of the many stores around them, some laughing in groups, others on phones carrying breifcases and walkig past her without really knowing who she was. This all seemed to flow through her has she looked up again and spotted a face in the crowd.
Her breath constricted in her chest, blood froze in her veins and everyone seemed to disapper has she recognized the familar mop of black hair. The feeling soft has silk when she ran her fingers through it.
" Darien!" Serena called running forward, past people she did not see.
Darien had just gotten off his regular part time job, tired and achig from a long day of stress and to little sleep. Now past people he could care less to see, he walked thinking of her wondering where she was at the moment, what she was doing, and if prehaps she was thinking of him. Just when he was yearning to hear her voice again it broke through his thoughts.
" Darien!"
It had to be a figment of his imagination but something in the back of his mind made him turn around just slightly to see her. Long legs just barely covered by her short skirt, a top that showed the fullness of her breasts, blue eyes lit up with a smile on her face has she ran forward.
" Serena," he whispered just before she collided with him wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face into his shirt.
" Oh Darien, I missed you so much," Serena sobbed into his shirt, tears that she had tried to hold back for so long coming free.
" Serena I..." Darien began pulling her arms away from him, and quickly letting go.
A shock looked came upon her face and she stared at him, a thousand emotions in her eyes has she watched him run his fingers through his hair and turned away from her.
" Serena we shouldn't be seen like this, we can't be togethor," he strained out wishing with all his might that he could pull her into his arms and never let go.
" Darien...I..." Serena whispered more tears filling her eyes.
He turned around at the sight of his name and looked down at her, her head was bent hands clasped in front of her has she strained to hold back the flood of emotions inside her.
" Oh, god...Serena," he began his heart breaking at seeing her pain. A thousand thoughts running through his mind before he came to a desicion.
Reaching out to grab her wrist, he began pulling her through the crowds, leaving her to only follow behind stumbaling slightly and struggling to keep up with his wide footsteps. Through the crowds they went until he saw his destination a small park, alone and empty in the bustle of the city. Into they want past the fountion through the trees to a small lake where the city offered itself has the background with the sun sinking behind it.
Darien stopped and let go of her wrist, looking at the golden ball of flames before turning to her. She was holding her wrist in the other hand, looking up at him with hopeful tear stained eyes.
Unable to restrain himself any more he reached out and pulled her into his embrace, arms locking like steel crushing her body to him, his head bending down to reat among the clean scent of her hair.
" I missed you so much," Serena sobbed into his chest, reveling in the feel of his arms around her.
" God Serena how do you do it? I haven't been able to stop thinking of you since I left you this morning," he whispered into her hair.
" I cast a magical spell on you," Serena replied feeling impish all of a sudden.
" You little witch," he growled rasing his head and smiled down at her.
" I didn't want you to forget me," she whispered growing serious again.
" I can't, your to special to me," he replied bending down to capture her lips with his own.
The kiss was light at firstm but soon seemed to grow into something stronger. Her hands wandering up the smooth cloth of his shirt to entwine in his hair, while he ran over her curves remebering the feel of her from the other night.
She was the first to break the kiss, gasping for breath she lightly nibbled on his bottom lip then moved down to the opening of his shirt kissing the hollow of his neck.
" Serena I..." he groaned reaching up to grasp her shoulders and pull her away from him.
" What is it Darien?" she asked, ice freezing inside her.
" Oh, Serena you don't know how much I want to be with you, if we were back in my apartment I don't know how I could not keep myself away from you," he sighed his hands tightning on her shoulders.
" Darien?" she asked softly looking up into his eyes.
" I hope you know how much I love you Serena," he whispered running his thumb over her swollen lips.
" I do," she replied smiling softly.
" I'll love you forever Serena, until the day I die," he whispered bending down to capture her lips in another kiss. This time it was softer and longer and when they broke away her eyes were alive with love.
" Come on, I'll walk you home," he said releasing her shoulders and grabbing her hand.
" I would like that," Serena replied weaving her fingers through his.
He turned around once to give her a puzzled look before smiling down and walking on, she in step next to him.
" I'll say goodbye here," he said stopping a few feet from the entrance of her yard.
" That's a good idea, my father is probaly looking for me and he would not be happy to see you," Serena replied in agreement.
Darien did not answer but instead smiled down at her, letting go of her hand and wrapping his arms around her body. His head lowering to capture her lips in another love filled kiss, she reached up placing one hand at the base of his neck feeling the soft hair while the other ran over the taunt muscles of his back.
" I better let you go," Darien whispered raising his lips from hers.
" Yea," Serena replied licking her lips and moving to leave his embrace but he was quicker and before she knew it he was kissing her again, this time with a little more passion. When he finally released her from his embrace, she was weak and didn't want to let go afraid that she might fall down.
" Have sweet dreams, my love," he whispered into her ear, brushing her lips with the softest of butterfly kisses before letting go and walking down the street.
" Goodnight Darien," Serena replied softly fluttering her finger tips at him and watching his disappering back until it was a blur on the horizon.
Then turning away and smoothing out her mused up hair and skirt, Serena walked into her yard up to the door. Pasting a cheerful smile on before walking in to greet her mother who was standing in the hallway waiting for her.
* * * * *
" Luna do you believe in love at first sight?" Serena asked out of the blue that night.
The black cat looked up in surprise from her pillow, her wide brown eyes searching for an reason to Serena's question.
" Well I don't know, you have to remeber Serena I'm only a cat. Why is that you ask this question?"
" Nothing much, I was just wondering," Serena replied pulling her knees closer t her chest and wrapping flannel covered arms around them.
" Serena are you thinking about Tuxedo Mask again? You must stay away from him at all costs, we don't know if he is our friend or our enemy," Luna warned jumping up on the window sill in front of Serena and sitting down.
" Don't worry Luna I won't forget," Serena sighed staring up into the crescent moon.
'Oh Darien, I miss you so much...'
" Come Serena lets get some sleep, you have school tomarrow," Luna broke through her thoughts jumping off the window sill onto the bed.
" Coming Luna," Serena replied giving the moon one more glimpse then got up dropping the blanket she had wrapped around her on the floor and turning off the lamp.
" Goodnight Serena," Luna yawned from her pillow.
"Goodnight Luna," Serena replied climbing under the covers, slipping one hand underneath the pillow to feel the star locket before laying her head down and closing her eyes.
'Oh Darien.....'

" She might, she could try and kipnap Tuxedo Mask, or anyone else we know," Rei spoke up.
" Yes, but I highly doubt it since she would probaly pass over Tuxedo Mask for someone closer and we don't even know if Tuxedo Mask is our friend. He may be a general of the Dark Kingdom and just working undercover to help them," Luna pointed out from her perch on the ground.
" I don't think so, Tuxedo Mask would never work for the Negaverse. I know he's working for us, he told me his mission is to find the crystals so he can know who he is, I don't know but I think it's romantic and no matter what we should trust him," Serena said softly, her glass of green tea clutched tightly in her hand.
" Serena I know you harbor some kind of crush on this man but you must always remeber he said he will go to any extreme to get the crystals even the one we have, he's not one to be trusted," Lita replied looking at her friend.
" Lita's right, we should stay away from him and stop relying on his help all the time. We are just has strong on our own feet," Luna nodded in agreement.
" Rei are you okay?" Ami asked looking behind her to the quiet girl staring at the ground.
"I'm fine," Rei replied harshly looking away.
The others and Luna exchanged looks and quickly went back to the conversation of the Negaverse. Serena still couldn't help but feel a little strange at Rei's behavior, it was a feeling like a knot tying itself in her stomach.
" You want to go to Crowns for awhile?" Lita asked Serena has they walked down the stairs.
" I'm sorry but I can't, my mom wants me home for dinner," Serena replied.
" Okay, well I guess Andrew is all mine then," Lita said proudly.
" You have fun then, if he asks after me tell him I went home," Serena replied.
" What? Your not mad over the fact that I'm going to get Andrew?" Lita asked a little shocked.
" No, I better go before I'm late," Serena called over her shoulder running down the rest of the stairs.
" Something is definatly off with her," Ami spoke up from the other side of Lita.
" I agree, she's strangly not herself, it's like an alien took over her body," Lita responded in agreement. " But hey you want to go to Crowns with me?"
" I can't I have to study also," Ami replied from inside her book.
" Jeez," Lita grumbled.

Serena walked down the crowded street, head slightly down, hands clasped behind her. Being careful not bump into anyone she retreated into her thoughts, occasionaly looking up to see her surroundings.
People walking home or to one of the many stores around them, some laughing in groups, others on phones carrying breifcases and walkig past her without really knowing who she was. This all seemed to flow through her has she looked up again and spotted a face in the crowd.
Her breath constricted in her chest, blood froze in her veins and everyone seemed to disapper has she recognized the familar mop of black hair. The feeling soft has silk when she ran her fingers through it.
" Darien!" Serena called running forward, past people she did not see.
Darien had just gotten off his regular part time job, tired and achig from a long day of stress and to little sleep. Now past people he could care less to see, he walked thinking of her wondering where she was at the moment, what she was doing, and if prehaps she was thinking of him. Just when he was yearning to hear her voice again it broke through his thoughts.
" Darien!"
It had to be a figment of his imagination but something in the back of his mind made him turn around just slightly to see her. Long legs just barely covered by her short skirt, a top that showed the fullness of her breasts, blue eyes lit up with a smile on her face has she ran forward.
" Serena," he whispered just before she collided with him wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face into his shirt.
" Oh Darien, I missed you so much," Serena sobbed into his shirt, tears that she had tried to hold back for so long coming free.
" Serena I..." Darien began pulling her arms away from him, and quickly letting go.
A shock looked came upon her face and she stared at him, a thousand emotions in her eyes has she watched him run his fingers through his hair and turned away from her.
" Serena we shouldn't be seen like this, we can't be togethor," he strained out wishing with all his might that he could pull her into his arms and never let go.
" Darien...I..." Serena whispered more tears filling her eyes.
He turned around at the sight of his name and looked down at her, her head was bent hands clasped in front of her has she strained to hold back the flood of emotions inside her.
" Oh, god...Serena," he began his heart breaking at seeing her pain. A thousand thoughts running through his mind before he came to a desicion.
Reaching out to grab her wrist, he began pulling her through the crowds, leaving her to only follow behind stumbaling slightly and struggling to keep up with his wide footsteps. Through the crowds they went until he saw his destination a small park, alone and empty in the bustle of the city. Into they want past the fountion through the trees to a small lake where the city offered itself has the background with the sun sinking behind it.
Darien stopped and let go of her wrist, looking at the golden ball of flames before turning to her. She was holding her wrist in the other hand, looking up at him with hopeful tear stained eyes.
Unable to restrain himself any more he reached out and pulled her into his embrace, arms locking like steel crushing her body to him, his head bending down to reat among the clean scent of her hair.
" I missed you so much," Serena sobbed into his chest, reveling in the feel of his arms around her.
" God Serena how do you do it? I haven't been able to stop thinking of you since I left you this morning," he whispered into her hair.
" I cast a magical spell on you," Serena replied feeling impish all of a sudden.
" You little witch," he growled rasing his head and smiled down at her.
" I didn't want you to forget me," she whispered growing serious again.
" I can't, your to special to me," he replied bending down to capture her lips with his own.
The kiss was light at firstm but soon seemed to grow into something stronger. Her hands wandering up the smooth cloth of his shirt to entwine in his hair, while he ran over her curves remebering the feel of her from the other night.
She was the first to break the kiss, gasping for breath she lightly nibbled on his bottom lip then moved down to the opening of his shirt kissing the hollow of his neck.
" Serena I..." he groaned reaching up to grasp her shoulders and pull her away from him.
" What is it Darien?" she asked, ice freezing inside her.
" Oh, Serena you don't know how much I want to be with you, if we were back in my apartment I don't know how I could not keep myself away from you," he sighed his hands tightning on her shoulders.
" Darien?" she asked softly looking up into his eyes.
" I hope you know how much I love you Serena," he whispered running his thumb over her swollen lips.
" I do," she replied smiling softly.
" I'll love you forever Serena, until the day I die," he whispered bending down to capture her lips in another kiss. This time it was softer and longer and when they broke away her eyes were alive with love.
" Come on, I'll walk you home," he said releasing her shoulders and grabbing her hand.
" I would like that," Serena replied weaving her fingers through his.
He turned around once to give her a puzzled look before smiling down and walking on, she in step next to him.
" I'll say goodbye here," he said stopping a few feet from the entrance of her yard.
" That's a good idea, my father is probaly looking for me and he would not be happy to see you," Serena replied in agreement.
Darien did not answer but instead smiled down at her, letting go of her hand and wrapping his arms around her body. His head lowering to capture her lips in another love filled kiss, she reached up placing one hand at the base of his neck feeling the soft hair while the other ran over the taunt muscles of his back.
" I better let you go," Darien whispered raising his lips from hers.
" Yea," Serena replied licking her lips and moving to leave his embrace but he was quicker and before she knew it he was kissing her again, this time with a little more passion. When he finally released her from his embrace, she was weak and didn't want to let go afraid that she might fall down.
" Have sweet dreams, my love," he whispered into her ear, brushing her lips with the softest of butterfly kisses before letting go and walking down the street.
" Goodnight Darien," Serena replied softly fluttering her finger tips at him and watching his disappering back until it was a blur on the horizon.
Then turning away and smoothing out her mused up hair and skirt, Serena walked into her yard up to the door. Pasting a cheerful smile on before walking in to greet her mother who was standing in the hallway waiting for her.

" Luna do you believe in love at first sight?" Serena asked out of the blue that night.
The black cat looked up in surprise from her pillow, her wide brown eyes searching for an reason to Serena's question.
" Well I don't know, you have to remeber Serena I'm only a cat. Why is that you ask this question?"
" Nothing much, I was just wondering," Serena replied pulling her knees closer t her chest and wrapping flannel covered arms around them.
" Serena are you thinking about Tuxedo Mask again? You must stay away from him at all costs, we don't know if he is our friend or our enemy," Luna warned jumping up on the window sill in front of Serena and sitting down.
" Don't worry Luna I won't forget," Serena sighed staring up into the crescent moon.
'Oh Darien, I miss you so much...'
" Come Serena lets get some sleep, you have school tomarrow," Luna broke through her thoughts jumping off the window sill onto the bed.
" Coming Luna," Serena replied giving the moon one more glimpse then got up dropping the blanket she had wrapped around her on the floor and turning off the lamp.
" Goodnight Serena," Luna yawned from her pillow.
"Goodnight Luna," Serena replied climbing under the covers, slipping one hand underneath the pillow to feel the star locket before laying her head down and closing her eyes.
'Oh Darien.....'
