Rated: PG

Author's Notes: Konnichiwa minna! (Is that right??) Aside from my crappy Jap, I've always noticed that I don't come by much humor fics in Sailor Moon. Or I have seen them but there aren't that many. Or at least from my experience anyways...Well, what I'm trying to say is that I thought it would be fun to write a humor piece!

Warnings: Implied cursing, slight violence, extensive nosebleeds and hentai thoughts...::snicker::

Standard Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon & Co. I also do not own Gundam Wing which is briefly mentioned in this fic.

"No way!" Serena said, shaking her head furiously as she backed away from her friends. "I am NOT playing!"

"Come on, Serena. It'll be fun," Lita urged gently as she tugged on her friend's arm as she tried to pull Serena over to the circle where a blushing Amy, grinning Mina and smirking Raye already sat with a scowling Darien, smiling Andrew, dumbfounded Chad, blushing Greg, and a cross-eyed Ken.

They were going to play spin the bottle.

"Yeah and Darien's playing. I mean, he's got enough guts to play. Don't you?" Raye asked, raising a sharp eyebrow as she deliberately taunted her friend.

Serena glared at Raye. "I'm not falling for it. I am NOT playing this game!"

"Why not, Serena? Afraid?" Mina teased.

"I am not afraid! I just refuse to play!" Serena exclaimed as she continued to back away only with Lita pulling at her arm and slowing down her movements.

"What's the matter, Meatball Head? Never been kissed?" Darien asked dryly.

Serena narrowed her eyes dangerously at Darien as a bright blush ran up her cheeks.

"Shut up, Darien! You don't know anything," she fumed as she tried to pry Lita's iron grip on her wrist. She was starting to feel the pinch as she continued to struggle from the grip. "Let me go, Lita. You can't force me to play this game!"

"Oh yeah?" Lita asked dangerously...

Fifteen minutes later after a lot of kicking and screaming on Serena's part. Cries of pains and curses from her friend's part as many of them managed to get bruises from the kicking legs and punching arms. They finally managed to tie Serena up tightly and prop her up against a chair next to Chad who was slowly inching away from the thrashing, struggling, kicking and cursing Serena. If anyone could see his eyes they would be as wide as saucers in fear of his life as the girl continued to scream threats that sounded very, very painful.

"You let me go right now!" Serena screamed as she struggled against her bonds. "You have no right to do this to me! Let me go!"

"No way, Serena," Mina said, laughter clear in her sweet soprano voice. "This is waay too much fun to pass up on."

"Yeah, be a good sport, Serena," Lita chimed in.

Amy just sat there looking miserable.

Raye was muttering curses as she rubbed at the bruises on her shins that came to be when she tried to tie down Serena's legs. The girl was dangerous! The guys were also sporting similar bruises as they also did most of the work. Except for Darien who had dashed off with the sudden urge to use the restroom. He came back, coincidentally, after they had tied down Serena. They all wondered what Darien could have been doing for fifteen minutes in the restroom.

"I'm going to get you all! You hear me?! This is injustice!!" Serena continued ranting about Justice in full Wufei mode (AN: He's my favorite GW guy, so cute and smart!::sigh dreamily as wonderful thoughts flit through author's head::) as she sat there, still tugging and ripping at her bonds which refuse to release her despite all her desperate efforts.

"Quiet down, Serena. The neighbors will start complaining," Raye snapped as she glared at the still ranting Serena.

"I'll stop when these--" Serena raised her bounded hands--"come off!"

"Come on, Serena. They'll be complaining to me and I just don't want to deal with that," Andrew complained as they were in his apartment when all of the games started. (AN: I have no idea where Andrew lives. He's in college so I'm guessing it's an apartment.)

"Then. Let. Me. GO!!" Serena shouted angrily as she began to pull at her bonds once again.

"Let's get started. It's getting late and I wanna hit the sack," Mina said as she stifled a yawn.

"Yeah, but we all get a nice kiss before going into Sleeping Beauty mode," Raye said slyly as she smiled seductively at Chad who was trying to fight back a really big blush.

Amy shook her head. "Guys, are you sure this is right? I mean, Serena's tied up and...well, the guys don't look very well. In fact, they look sick."

All the girls looked at the guys and sighed heavily as they sweatdropped. Chad looked ready to run and hide under a couch or bed...well, maybe not the bed. Too many hentai thoughts could be involved...Darien just looked annoyed, Greg looked ready to spout a nosebleed, Ken was looking faint and Andrew was fidgeting while looking a bit green.

Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina sweatdropped. Serena glared.

"Come on you guys, it's only spin the bottle," Mina sighed as she crossed her arms and glared at Andrew. He just fidgeted a little more and began a more attractive color of olive green.

"It's not like you've never been kissed," Raye added as she glanced at Chad. He looked like he was half way off the floor and towards the door.

"Jeez, your all chickens!" Lita exclaimed, exasperated with this childish behavior.

"We're not. We're just not comfortable with this game," Darien said defensively.

"Whatever. Let's start playing before it gets too late," Raye said, waving her hands as Lita produced a bottle of beer that was going to be the arrow in the game.

They all looked at her and sweatdropped.

"Uuuhh, what are you doing with that, Lita?" Serena asked, her face going through a series of strange expressions.

"We're going to play spin the bottle with it," Lita replied innocently as she placed the bottle in the middle of the circle. "I just thought that a wine bottle would do better than a ketchup bottle."

"Where did you get it in the first place?" Amy demanded, turning a bit blue at the fact of having alcohol at their little get together. "You know, we're all still minors..."

"Except for Andrew and Darien," Lita pointed out. She turned and smiled at the older boys who looked at her through slitted eyes.

"We're not going to take the blame for you girls getting drunk," Darien stated flatly. Andrew nodded his agreement.

Lita snickered. "We're not going to get drunk, you guys! We're just going to use it in the game."

Amy sighed and buried her face in her hands. She didn't know how she ended up in such a group of girls...Oh yeah, they were all good friends in the past life. /And in this life I end up with girls who cause too much mischief than a band of youmas...Serenity help us!/

"All right! Who wants to go first?" Mina asked excitedly as she rubbed her slim hands together hungrily. She looked at all the boys but her look landed mostly on a pale Andrew. She smiled sweetly and slowly licked her lips. Andrew became chalk white. /Aahh, I love hunting. It's soo much fun!/ Mina thought evilly. (AN: ::sweatdrop:: Uhh... ::sweatdrop::)

"I'll go first," Raye said, smiling. She bent over and spun the bottle with a quick flick of her wrist.

The bottle spun smoothly until it slowed and stopped perfectly right in front of Chad.

"N-no way, dude! She used her hocus-pocus to do that! That's cheating!" Chad exclaimed, frightened. He slowly backed away as Raye moved in closer.

"Chad, you agreed to participate in this game. Now play," Raye said dangerously.

"I'm not so sure--!" Chad's words were cut off as a vicious Raye leapt on him and planted her lips firmly against his. Raye smiled as she closed her eyes and kissed the stunned boy. She had always had a soft spot for him and now she can finally show him what she thought of him.

Suddenly Chad's lips weren't pressed against hers anymore. Raye opened her eyes and sweatdropped as she looked down and saw a dazed Chad lying there. His eyes were spinning and he was crimson red.

"He's done in," Serena said dryly as she looked at the unconscious boy.

Greg was holding a white napkin to his nose that was quickly becoming a nice dark red. Darien, Andrew and Ken were laughing until they were blue.

"My turn," Mina said, smiling as Raye took her seat again. Mina leaned over and spun the bottle sharply.

The bottle spun rapidly. Then it stopped right in front of Andrew.

Andrew stopped laughing.

Darien was snickering.

Greg was dabbing his red nose as the nosebleed stopped.

Ken was laughing.

Chad was still unconscious.

Amy, Raye and Lita giggled.

Serena snickered.

Mina smiled predatorily as she leaned over to Andrew until their noses were touching.

"Time for a kiss, Andy," Mina said softly.

Andrew blinked. Then shrugged as he leaned towards her and their lips touched. Mina pressed further and the kiss deepened.

"Time for air, you two," Lita said, snickering.

Mina pulled away and smiled as she kissed Andrew lightly on the lips one last time before sitting back down. Andrew was smiling, his eyes a bit vague.

"All right! My turn!" Lita said as she rubbed her hands. She spun the bottle with a flourished twist of her hand.

Bottle spin...yada, yada, you know the rest!

It stopped in front of Ken.

Ken looked at his childhood friend and grinned. /Oh well, I'll show Lita that I'm not chicken...I hope./ He leaned towards Lita as she leaned towards him and they kissed. It was gentle at first but then deepened as they kissed even more.

"Is he turning blue?" Serena asked, laughing.

"I don't know. Their faces are pressed so close I can't tell them apart!" Mina exclaimed.

Amy was banging her head against the wall near her head and muttering something about hormone raging friends. Greg was reaching for the tissue box once again.

Serena looked down at her bonds and pulled again before turning back to the show Lita and Ken were putting on.

Darien and Andrew were both laughing hard as they leaned against each other for support while they laughed until they couldn't breathe anymore.

"Don't they need to breathe?" Raye asked, eyes widening at the length of time that the two were kissing at.

Lita grinned against the kiss as she heard her friends' comments. Then she kissed Ken one last time and pulled away. Ken sighed and--

BUMP!

Ken was down for the count as his had lost consciousness from lack of oxygen. (AN: Don't try this at home. It's not good to lose oxygen to the brain!)

Chad woke up from the sudden BUMP! sound. He sat up and moaned as he tried to gather his

wits. Then he saw Raye. She smiled at him. He weakly smiled back and sighed as he rubbed the back of his head where a small bruise was developing. /Next time I kiss her I have to found some ground that's soft…/ At the prospect hentai thought Chad ripped Greg's tissues away from him and began to stop his own bloody nose. (AN: ::snicker:: Hey! I'm a growing girl! And I'm in high school. It's amazing what you hear these days!)

"Oookay! It's Amy's turn!" Lita cheered. She was on Cloud Nine and above so you'd say the girl was pretty happy.

Amy paled and backed up against the wall she had been banging her head against. Her blue eyes wide in fright and panic. She looked over to Serena who wasn't looking very sympathetic for very obvious reasons.

"Help me," Amy pleaded.

Serena gave her a withering looking.

Amy knew she was trapped. There was no way she could get out of it. She sighed and scooted up a bit further as she knew that it was the inevitable. She was also was red as blood.

"All right," she breathed as she reached out and weakly turned the bottle. It spun slowly and landed on Greg.

Amy swallowed hard as she looked up at her crush and blushed even harder. Greg was swallowing hard and looking really pale.

"Come on! This is part of the game! Kiss you two!" Mina urged as she pushed Amy forward.

The poor girl stumbled forward until she was nose to nose with Greg. The boy sniffed as his eyes widened. Then he slowly leaned forward as did Amy. Their lips touched briefly before Amy backed away quickly and sat back down. She was blushing very hard and was turning away from the rest of the group as she tried to cool her burning cheeks.

"That was brief," Raye remarked dryly to Lita. The taller girl nodded. Mina shrugged.

Ken opened his eyes as he slowly woke up and sat up dazedly.

"Serena's turn!" Mina exclaimed happily as she clapped her hands together.

Serena shook her head. "You can't make me!" She shouted angrily at them. "You've already tied me down! You cannot make me play that ridiculous game!"

Darien nodded. "I agree with her for once. This is ridiculous. I'm going to bed." He stood up at an attempt to leave when Andrew, Ken, Chad and Greg reached up and yanked him back down. Darien gave a shout as his legs went out on him and he landed back on the carpeted floor hard on his bottom. (AN: Poor little Darien. He got a boo-boo. I bet someone can make him feel better...)

"We played. Now it's your turn!" Andrew declared.

"Yeah! You still haven't been kissed!" Ken chimed.

"I lost this much--" Greg indicated with his forefinger and thumb--"blood playing this game. I literally paid with blood! Now you HAVE to play! It's about time to see Ice King get kissed!"

Andrew laughed and Chad high fived with Greg. The girls giggled. Serena continued to look very pissed off as she tugged at her bonds again to no avail. They wouldn't come loose!

"All right, since Serena is tied down for the moment, I'll spin the bottle for her," Mina announced as she reached out and gave the beer bottle a quick spin.

The bottle rolled almost out of controlled. Then it slowed and began to move around at a slower pace, pointing at each player as it made its rounds. It almost stopped at Andrew for one moment...when with a sudden movement it stopped in front of Darien who was sitting next to Andrew.

"What the--!?" Darien sputtered.

Andrew's eyes widened.

Serena gave a howl of anger and pain.

"Nooo! Anyone but him!" She shrieked as she began to bounce up and down as she pulled at her restraints. Suddenly there was a snap and she was free! Serena gasped and ripped off the ropes before anyone had any time to react and made it for the door.

Lita snapped out of her shock and leaped to her feet. She was taller and had longer limbs as she closed the distance easily. She grabbed Serena by the arm and yanked her back. Then she threw the smaller girl over her shoulder and headed towards the closet.

"Get Darien!" Mina shouted.

Darien gasped as everyone jumped him and grabbed a limb. He shouted and cursed profanely as they dragged him over to the closet Lita was heading for.

Amy grinned as she threw open the door for Lita as the taller and stronger girl unceremoniously deposited their friend on the closet floor. Darien was also thrown in as well. Both captives landed in a confusion of limbs. Serena cursed loudly and Darien shouted for her to get her foot off his face.

Then Raye grabbed the door and slammed it shut. Andrew produced a key and locked it soundly.

Immediately shouting began and the door began to rattle from both Darien and Serena's fists against the door.

"Let us out! Let us out!" Serena shouted. "You have NO right locking us in here!"

"Yeah! Let us go! What do you think your all doing?!" Darien demanded angrily.

Outside all of their friends laughed excitedly. They all high fived each other and patted each other's back.

"All they need is a whole night in there. Then we'll see what happens," Andrew said as he rubbed his hands together in a mockingly sly way. He winked at Mina and laughed.

"Until then, let's go get ready for bed," Raye said, yawning. "I'm tired."

"Shouldn't we give them some pillows and blankets?" Amy asked worriedly as she chewed on a finger nail.

"Naw, there's so in there already. It's a linen closet," Andrew said nonchalantly.

"Oh. Well, that's good," Amy said, nodding.

They all smiled and went to hit the sack.

~*~

"I cannot believe they did this to us!" Serena shouted as she banged against the door. "This is so unfair!"

"Stop your shouting. It's giving me a head ache," Darien complained as he leaned against a soft pile of towels. At least they were locked in a spacious and comfortable closet. He didn't know what he would do if he was locked in a smaller one with Meatball Head. /I'd probably end up screaming for sanity!/

"Darien, what are we going to do?!" Serena demanded as she sat down across from Darien as she leaned against another soft bundle of towels. Her pajama shirt hung loosely on her, revealing a rather smooth and white shoulder.

Darien's eyes widened slightly at the sight. Then he quickly looked away and sighed.

"I don't know. I think I heard them say something about leaving us in here 'till morning."

"That's just great! I knew I should have never agreed to this sleep over!" Serena wailed. Then she closed her mouth and sighed. She was too tired to act immature. It was fun but sometimes it was just too exhausting.

"What Meatball Head? Why aren't you wailing your mouth off?" Darien asked rudely.

"Shut up!" Serena shrieked at him. "Gods, how much can I take from you?! I mean, every time I see you, you have to tease me to no end! Isn't there a time when you DON'T tease me??"

Darien thought about it for a while. "I don't remember."

Serena closed her eyes and just shook her head. "Never mind. I'm going to sleep." She reached up and pulled down a long blanket, wrapping it around herself before folding into fetal position and slowly falling asleep.

Darien watched as Serena slowly fell asleep. He couldn't help think that she looked pretty cute while she was asleep. Gone the immature air head, gone the annoying Meatball Head. All that was left was a beautiful, peaceful girl. Her face was totally relaxed and there was nothing to block her kindness from showing through. Her face was made to smile and laugh and to be sweet. It was amazing...

Closing his eyes, Darien also slowly began to drift away into the world of dreams.

~*~

In the middle of the night, Serena woke up slowly. She was in a rather comfortable position but found that her right arm had fallen asleep. She winced as she sat up and felt the painful rush of blood as it returned to her arm.

She shook out her arm and looked across the darkened closet to see that Darien was also asleep. She squinted and saw that he didn’t have a blanket and seemed to shiver a little.

Unconsciously, Serena reached out for a blanket and gently draped it across Darien. Only when she sat back down did she realize what she had down.

Serena blinked. /I actually did that? Why did I do that? He's my enemy, the guy that makes my life miserable. And I just gave him a blanket...I must be losing oxygen from the brain in this room! She looked over at Darien and smiled slightly. /He looks like a sweet child. I never knew that arrogant, conceited jerk attitude actually left him at sleeping hours./

Smiling warmly, Serena picked up her own blanket and scooted over to Darien. She wrapped her blanket around her body and fell asleep next to Darien, her head touching his shoulder just a bit.

~*~

Serena started awake as she felt Darien jerk away from her. She almost fell on top of him but caught herself as she turned to find out what had happened.

Darien's face was twisted in a deep anguished pain and he was jerking around as if he was trying to escape a bad dream.

/He probably is having a bad dream,. Serena realized. She reached out and shook Darien's shoulder as she tried to wake up him. To free him from his bad dream. She shook him harder and harder but still he wouldn't wake up.

Serena scooted closer and looked at Darien as she whispered his name over and over as she tried to wake him up.

"Darien! Darien, wake up!" Serena hissed as she shook him really hard.

He started awake and Serena lost her balance. She fell on top of him.

"What the--?! What are you doing, Serena?" Darien asked bewilderedly as he was stunned that Serena was lying right on top of him. How did she get there? Darien blushed.

Serena was blushing hard as she quickly got off of Darien and moved across the closet floor

although that didn't help much. Even though it was a large closet it wasn't THAT large.

"S-sorry, Darien. It's just that you had a bad dream and I tried to wake you up..." <Gods, this is embarrassing,> Serena thought miserably. She just wanted to crawl into a hole and stay in there. Anywhere to escape the situation she was in right now.

Darien looked across the closet and breathed a deep shaky breath.

"Yeah, I was having a bad dream. Sorry Serena if I woke you up or anything," he said quietly.

Serena shook her head. "No, it's all right."

"Come on over here, Serena. You look a bit cold," Darien said gently.

Serena looked in at Darien in shock but said nothing as she crawled over to him and plopped herself down next to the handsome young man. She sat there with her arms wrapped around her knees. The silence was almost unbearable.

"What was your dream?" Serena asked quietly.

Darien looked over to Serena in shock. He didn't think she would care what his dream was about but would rather return to her sleeping without another thought about him.

Shrugging, Darien sighed. "Nothing. Just bad memories."

"Really? Want to talk about them?" Serena asked softly as she looked up at Darien's shadowed face. "I'm listening."

Darien smiled at Serena. "Yeah. I know. Thanks, Serena but I don't want to load my crappy life on you. Let's just go back to sleep and wait to be released from this prison in the morning."

Serena grinned and nodded. "Good idea. Good-night, Darien." She wrapped her blanket around her body for the third time that night and fell promptly asleep.

Darien watched as Serena slept. Again he saw that strange peacefullness that he wasn't used to seeing on Serena's face. She was very beautiful. He had to admit that. And she was nice enough to wake up him from that bad dream. Or it was possibly because she wanted him to stop whimpering in his sleep.

Frowning, Darien draped his blanket over his body and went to sleep.

~*~

The Next Morning...

"Good morning, everyone!" Mina said cheerfully as she leaped out of her blankets on the floor and stretched like a cat. She grinned at the disgruntled friends of hers as they gave her a withering look before dropping off back to sleep.

/Hn, I guess no one likes to wake up in the morning but me,/ Mina thought with a shrug.

She turned and walked to the kitchen to get a drink. That was where she found Amy sitting at the kitchen table, eating a bagel and probably doing the same thing with her book at the pace she was reading it.

/Guess not. Amy was always a bit strange,/ Mina thought as she poured herself a glass of orange juice.

"Good morning, Mina. Had a good night?" Amy asked politely as she looked up from her book and smiled.

"You bet!" Mina laughed. She finished her orange juice and walked back to the living room. That's when she remembered that Darien and Serena were still in the closet!

Mina rushed over to Andrew and dropped down beside him. She began to rummage through his pockets as he tried to look for the key.

Andrew leaped awake and rolled away from her. His eyes wide and his jaw dropping to the ground.

"What do you think you were doing?!" Andrew demanded in a totally harassed tone.

Mina sighed and rolled her eyes. "I was trying to look for the keys." Then she got a very mischievous light in her eyes. "Unless of course you want to do something else...That's perfectly fine with me," she literally purred.

Andrew fished out the closet keys and threw it over to Mina who caught it easily being a volleyball player once.

"N-no! It's all right!" Andrew squeaked as he grabbed his blanket and wrapped it around his shoulders.

Mina laughed and walked over to the closet. She stuck the key it and turned the knob. What she found startled her.

Serena was snuggled comfortably next to Darien who had his arm draped protectively around her shoulders.

/OMG! This is amazing!/ Mina thought happily as she quietly closed the closet door and turned around, her eyes wide with pleasant surprise and her jaw always touching the floor.

"What's the matter?" Raye asked groggily as she sat up.

"You guys have to come and see this!" Mina said excitedly as she gestured to the closet door.

Immediately everyone was out of their blankets and walking over to Mina who was grinning like a fool. Even Amy appeared as she tore herself away from her book for a while to find out what was so amazing.

"Come on! Open the door!" Raye complained.

"Shush! They're still asleep," Mina hissed.

"What's the matter, Mina? Tell us," Ken said, frowning slightly.

"Fine!" Mina slowly opened the closet door again and revealed the two absolutely kawaii couple.

Everyone gasped and their eyes widened into saucers.

Raye's eyes fluttered as she fainted. Chad reached out and easily caught her before she hit the floor. Amy had dropped her book. Lita was giggling. Ken and Andrew were both laughing as well. Mina was beaming.

Due to all the noise, Serena and Darien started awake. They stared up at their shocked and laughing friends in confusion.

"Would you all stop making so much noise?! We're trying to sleep!" Serena complained.

Mina laughed even harder before closing the closet door without another word.

Serena looked at Darien and frowned.

"What were they laughing about?" She asked, confused.

"I think it's because we're sleeping so close to each other," Darien said quietly with a slight blush.

Serena giggled and blushed as well.

"Well, it wasn't at all that bad," she said shyly.

Darien looked at Serena and raised an eyebrow.

"It wasn't!" Serena laughed. She teasingly punched Darien on the shoulder and stood up to stretch.

"Serena."

Serena looked down to see Darien looking up at her intently. She faltered.

"Y-yes, Darien?" She asked nervously.

"Thank you," Darien said softly.

Serena frowned. "For what?"

"For just being there after I woke up for that nightmare. I've never had anyone there to make me feel better after having that dream."

Serena grinned and blushed. "It's all right. What are friends for, right?"

"Friends?" Darien asked questioningly.

"Sure? Why not?" Serena asked, giggling.

Darien smiled and nodded. "Friends." It was like he was testing out the word like something he had never said before. Something he wasn't familiar with.

/But he has Andrew,/ Serena thought as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. /Oh well, no point in thinking this out too thoroughly. We've just established a tentative friendship. No point in ruining it./ Serena reached down and slowly pulled Darien to his feet. He was bigger than her! She smiled up at him when she finally got him standing.

"Let's go out and have some breakfast," she suggested as she rubbed her stomach. "I'm starving!"

Darien laughed and opened the door.

"Hey lovebirds!" Mina's chirpy voice greeted them.

Serena groaned and turned around to go back into the closet but Raye suddenly appeared and pulled her and Darien to the kitchen.

"You two have to eat you know!" She said as she sat both of them down together. "So, what do you guys want? Andrew and Lita are cooking which only means more good food!"

"I think I'll just have eggs, bacon and some toast," Darien said with a shrug.

"Pancakes," Serena said firmly. "I LOVE pancakes!"

Everyone laughed and smiled as the food was prepared and everyone dug in.

After breakfast, they all washed up and got dressed as they packed up for the day to go out to the park. Lita, Andrew, Raye and Ken packed the picnic baskets and Mina, Amy, Greg and Chad got the games. Then they were off.

"Mmm, I love spring!" Serena sighed as she and Darien strolled down the park path as their friends were playing Frisbee at the open grass area.

Darien nodded in agreement and also breathed in the fresh sweet air of spring as the cheery blossoms began to bloom to their fullest.

"You know, Darien. I kinda like this friendship thing between us. No more fights!" Serena laughed.

"Yeah, that is a relief," Darien agreed.

Serena smiled and glanced up at Darien. <He's so handsome,> she thought to herself. She had always thought Darien was handsome. If he hadn't been so infuriating in the past she would have fallen for him. /Looks like I'm falling for him now,/ Serena thought guiltily as a slight blush worked up her cheeks. She looked away from Darien and concentrated on walking.

One foot in front of the other...Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left--stumble!

"Aaah!"

"Whoa! Careful Meatball Head!" Darien exclaimed as he caught Serena before she could fall flat on her face. "You've got to watch your step or else you could seriously hurt yourself!" Darien looked down at the angel in his arms and suddenly he couldn't breathe anymore.

Serena's face was flushed a delicate pink and her lips were parted slightly as she breathed a little harder than normal. /She's so beautiful...And from what I learned last night she's also very, very nice. I wonder why I never saw this before…/ (AN: He never saw this before because they're always busy yellin' at each other!)

"Thanks, Darien," she breathed as she reached up to clutch his arms for better support as she came back on to her feet with some help from Darien. She looked up at him and smiled warmly. "Your still calling me 'Meatball Head'!"

Darien laughed huskily as he continued to hold her. Serena became very aware that he wasn't letting go anytime soon.

"Serena," Darien murmured.

Serena swallowed hard. "Yes?"

"Please don't kill me," Darien whispered almost fearfully.

"Wha--?!" Serena couldn't say the last of her words as Darien's lips came down and claimed her own. Serena felt herself go weak under Darien's lips and had to encircle her arms around his neck to get a better hold on herself. Then she began to kiss Darien back.

All too soon Darien pulled away, breathing a little hard as he looked at Serena from underneath his thick black hair.

"I'm sorry. I don't--"

"Shut up, Darien," Serena whispered throatily before pushing herself up to get another kiss.

~*~

Mina smiled as she and Andrew watched Serena kiss.

"That's so sweet. It's about time they fell for each other. If they went one more week without falling in love I swear I'll...," Mina trailed off and looked at Andrew with a sunny smile. /Boy, he's so cute!/

"You'll do what?" Andrew asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'll do this," Mina said softly as she reached out and pulled Andrew down for a kiss of her own.

End.
