Rating: G-PG



Chotto minna! Remember me?? Puh-lease don?t shoot me!! I know that I 
promised that
I?d keep up with Royal Flush the Sequel, but with this new HTML thingie, I?m 
having a
few little small probs. So I?m trying to find a new webpage to post my 
stories at. And I?ll
be going under the name Alexis-chan, and the same here.

So anyways, about this stroy. I got the idea a little while ago while 
listening to that one
song that goes ?Leave the one with, start a new relationship. Choose, the 
things you do.
Think about a ring and all the things that come along. Ways you make, make 
me.?  Hope
ya know what song I?m talking about. I don?t know all the words, but you?ll 
figure it out
(and I don?t know who?s it by anyways). Sorry.

Standard Disclaimers apply. I don?t own Sailor Moon, never have and never 
will. Rats.
And thx to all my friends on the ?Net who constanly are giving me ideas 
(Alex, Starlight,
Mako-chan, Meg and all you other!). And for this story, the Scouts are 16 
and
sophomores in high school and Darien and Andrew are 18 and freshmen at Tokyo
University.

OH YEAH!! Before I forget, I have a new e-mail!! It?s:

Here ya go:

?But I?ve fallen for you?

Serena was walking down the street, the wind blowing her hair around her 
face. She
finally reached the arcade and walked in. She glanced around the room and 
quickly spoted
who she was looking for.

?Hey!? She cried out and ran for a nearby booth where Lita, Amy, Mina and 
Raye were all
sitting and talking. Lita and Mina were filling Raye in on the latest gossip 
at their school
(Amy, Serena, Mina and Lita all attended Juuban High, and Raye attended a 
private
school). Amy was busilly going over her chemstry book.

?Hey Serena!? Lita called and Mina waved. Amy glanced up and smiled and went 
back to
studing.

?How can that girl study all the time!? Serena thought in discust.

?Hey Meatball Head, have detention again today?? Raye smarted off.

?No! For your information, Pyro, I had tutoring.? Serena stuck her tounge 
and Raye
followed in suit.

?Hey girls. What can I get you all today?? A cheerful voice said from behind 
Serena. They
all turned to look and saw Andrew standing there.

?Hiya Andew!? They all said.

?I?ll take a cheeseburger, large fries and large Pepsi.? Lita said.

?Me too.? Mina piped up.

?And me.? Raye added.

?That?s suitable for me as well.? Amy agreed.

?And me!? Serena chirped. ?And a hotfudge sundea with that too.? She added.

Andrew chuckled and turned to get there orders. There was a sudden gingle of 
the bell as
someone came in.

?Hey Andy.? The voice said.

?Hiya Dare. Want anything??

?Just a coke.?

?Kay.?

Raye had managed to slide herself out of the booth and started over to where 
Darien was
standing.

?Hi Darien!? She hugged him and he returned the guesture.

?Hey Darien!? Serena waved and the others waved as well.

?Hey. Hi Raye.? Serena beamed with pride. Her second match-making sceme that 
acutally
worked! Her first one, Molly and Melvin, was going okay, but Raye and 
Darien? Her best
yet! Ever since two months ago when Andrew introduced Serena and Raye to 
Darien,
Raye immedianly fell in love with him. But she was too shy (*AN: Raye, shy?? 
Yeah
right!*) to say anything. Since Serena and Darien were friends (*AN: 
Surprise, surprise*),
Serena worked on setting them up. Now they had been offically a couple for 
more than 3
weeks.

?So, what are you all doing?? Darien asked as he carefully dropped his arm 
around Raye?s
shoulder.

?After a quick bite to eat, were heading over to the temple for a study 
session.? Raye told
him.

?I guess then Serena?s not eating. It wouldn?t be quick if she was eating.? 
Darien
joked.Serena turned and glared at him.

?Oh shut up Darien Chiba. Your one to talk.? Serena slid into the booth next 
to Lita and
Mina.

Darien laughed and said good-bye as Andrew brought out the girls food and 
Darien?s
coke (*AN: For someone totally cute, he can sure be stupid! Ordering Coke? 
What would
Mako-Chan say about that?? Oh wait! I?m writing this story.....oops =ު).

?Oh yeah, were having a beach party tomorrow. You guys are invited and 
Andrew, you
can bring Rita and Lizzie to the party too.? Lita told them. Darien looked 
over at Andrew
who suddenly became very upset looking.

?What?s wrong?? Serena asked.

?Rita called two days ago from Africa and we broke up.? Andrew said.

?I?m sorry Andy.? Mina said quietly, but was secretly was happy. Maybe now 
she would
have a chance with Andrew. Soon silence setted in and the girls finished 
their meals in the
quiet.

*****************
|Next day at the beach|

Six girls were crouded around each other, giggling and talking about 
anything and
everything. A little ways away from them were five other guys.

?How can they talk so much?? Ken asked in wonder. He brushed his dark brown 
hair
away from his chocolate eyes, glancing every now and then at Lita.

?I have no clue, but at least Raye?s not screaming at me.? Chad joked, 
looking longingly
at the fiery tempered preiestess. He felt a pang of jelousy against Darien, 
but shook it off.

?Yeah, and Amy?s the only one not talking that much.? Andrew added as Ken 
leaned over
and whispered something in Chad?s ear then to Greg, causing Greg to in turn 
slug Ken on
the arm.

?Well, I don?t know about you all, but I?m ready to go hit the surf.? Darien 
said as he
stood up and walked towards the girls.

The first thing he took notice of was Amy, who was sitting at the edge of 
the blanket,
reading. She was wearing a pale blue bikini, in fact all of them were. On 
Amy?s she had
white stripes going down the top and bottom.

Lizzie, Andrew?s little sister who was a year younger than the other girls, 
was wearing a
tankini, bright green with yellow squiggly marks all over it. Lita was 
wearing a small green
bikini with darker green prints all over it which were impossible to tell 
what they were
exactly.

Mina?s bathing suit was orange with little yellow stars scattered across it. 
Raye was
wearing a bright plain red bikini with a thin red skirt around the bottom. 
Serena was also
wearing a tankini, only her?s was a light pink with small bunny on the top.

Darien thought to himself how nice Raye looked, but found his eye?s 
lingering on Serena?s
trim figure, her smooth stomach and long legs.

?What are you thinking Dare! Raye?s your girlfriend, not Meatball Head.? He 
scolded
himself. He looked over at Andrew, who?s eyes seemed to be stuck on Mina. 
Greg had sat
down quietly next to Amy, and looked her over real quickly, but turned away 
before she
could notice. Ken had plopped down next to Lita and casually slung his arm 
over her
shoulder. That had to be the advantage to having a girl as your best friend.

Chad was taking odvious pains *not* to look at Raye, afraid of what Darien 
might do if he
caught him looking at his girlfriend. But Darien was too busy looking at 
Serena, who was
involved in a conversation with the other girls.

?So, ready to hit the water ladies?? Chad asked suddenly. Lita, Mina, Raye 
and Serena
jumped up right then. Lizzie leaned over to say something to Amy, and she 
nodded,
looking at Darien, Chad and Andrew, before turning back to Lizzie and 
smiling slightly.
Lizzie jumped up and ran over to Lita and whispered whatever they were 
talking in her
ear. Lita?s face lit up and she giggled.

?What?s so funny Lita?? Mina ask.

?I?ll tell ya later.? Lizzie spoke up before grabbing Mina and Lita?s hands 
and taking off
towards the water. Serena was right behind them. The guys stood there and 
looked at
each other then took off, with the exception of Darien.

?Hey, um......Darien? Could I talk to you for a minute?? Raye asked quietly.

?Sure.?

?Is there something wrong? Do you not like me anymore?? Raye blurted out. 
Darien was
taken back, but gathered himself up again.

?No, why do you ask??

?Because.......oh nothing. I was just bring stupid I guess.? Raye smiled up 
at him then
grabbed his hand, ?Come on, let?s go!? She took off before Darien could say 
anything
else.

All day long the six girls and five guys had a blast goofing around in the 
water. Well,
almost all of them. Andrew had pretty well forgotten about Rita it seems, as 
he was
constantly around Mina, flirting and goofing around with her. And by the way 
that Mina?s
friends were looking at them with knowing smiles, and Serena was grinning 
wickedly. But
Darien, who should have been havign a fun time with ?his? girlfriend, was 
too busy
mooning over a girl that wasn?t even his.

All day long Darien watched Serena as much as he could without Raye 
noticing. He
watched as she, Lita and Mina ganged up on Amy and dunked her in the water. 
All he
could see was Serena?a bright smile that seemed to make the sun seem dim, 
her laughter
with was more beautiful that the pretty bird?s song, and her eye?s who?s 
blue seemed to
match the clear, cloudless sky. It wasn?t before long that he realized he 
was falling for
Serena.

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

Soon, the sun was beginnning to set. The guys set off to find some wood for 
the bonfire
and they left the girls to set up the food.

?So Andy, we noticed that your over Rita? That didn?t take long.? Ken said 
slyly.

?What are you talking about?? Andrew asked innocenly, but failed miserably 
as a blush
crept on his cheeks.

?I mean that you were all over Mina. You like her don?tcha?? Ken proded and 
Andrew?s
face turned blood red.

?Well, I mean she?s a cute kid and everything, but I mean I don?t really 
like her that much
or anything. She?s really pretty and nice and funny and everything but I?m 
not really sure
that I should ask her out this soon when I just broke up with Rita and
everything.....?Andrew babbled on and on before Greg cut him off.

?Hey dude, who said anything about asking her out? We just wanted to know if 
you liked
her or not.? Greg said as all the guys broke out in fits of laughter.

?Yeah, well, what about you and Amy?? Andrew asked.

?Well, were just friends, but yes I like her.? Greg admittted as Andrew 
playfuly shoved
him.

?Well, what about you and Raye, Dare?? Ken asked Darien, and he looked 
around at the
guys.

?What about us??

?Are you still an item or what? You didn?t seem to be too interested in her 
today. If I
didn?t know any better, I would have thought you were hung over Serena the 
way you
were staring at her.?

?Uh oh. Caught red handed.? Was the only thought running through the guys 
minds.
Andrew, Ken, Greg all wore smug smiles on thier face and Chad looked at 
Darien in hope.

?Well, I like Raye and all, but I?m not sure about our relationship. It?s 
going okay.? Darien
said uncomfortably before changing the subject. ?We ready??

They guys nodded and headed back to the camping area with their firewood. As 
they drew
closer to wear the girls were, they heard some of their talking.

?......and then she started hanging on his arm like she does with every 
other guy. He
looked down at her and slid her off of his arm and said ?Listen Lacey, you a 
cute kid and
all, but I?m not one of those guys who likes a slut constantly attached to 
them.? and
walked off!? Lita giggled.

?Oh it was classic! Lacey, the school slut, finally shot down. The entire 
school was
laughing about it all day long!? Serena finished up as the other started 
laughing.

?Here?s the wood.? The guys dropped the wood near the pile of rocks that 
Serena and
Lizzie set up. They begun to pile on the wood and soon they had a bonfire 
starting.

?I think we need a little more dried leaves.? Amy stated. Raye jumped up to 
go and get
some, and Chad followed in the suit. Raye looked over at Darien, singling 
him to follow
her.

?Just let me slip on my shoes.? Darien said as Raye and Chad started walkign 
off by
himself.

About five minutes later Darien reached the spot where he heard talking, or 
at least he
had. He walked around and tree, and was slghtly shocked by what he saw.

Raye and Chad were standing close to each other in a pile of dried leaves. 
Kissing.
Lip-locked. Whatever you called it, they were doing it (*AN: NOT in a bad 
way you
all!!!! just liek my examples!!!!!!!! hehe). Surprisingly enought, Darien 
didn?t really seem
that fazed. He just turned and walked back towards the camp.

By the time he had reached the fire, Raye came walking down there, with Chad 
close
behind her looking upset, but not as bad as Raye was. She dropped her leaves 
then asked
Darien to come with her.

?Darien, listen I have something to confess to you. I?m really ashamed that 
I did it and I
promise never to do it again, but when me and..........? She didn?t get no 
further.

?Don?t worry Raye, it?s alright. I saw you and Chad kissing. I know.? Raye?s 
eyes nearly
jumped out of her head, and for the first time since Darien had known her, 
she blushed.

?Well, I?ve been thinking about us, you know, and I don?t think it?s gonna 
work. Were
too different and I know that you don?t like me, as much as you like some 
one else.? She
stated slyly.

Now it was Darien?s turn to tunr crimsom. ?Well, I uh, sort-of, think you 
right too Raye.
It would never really work between us. And I think that there?s someone else 
that you like
more.?

?Well, me and Chad are just friends, even though I know that he would like 
it to be more.
But I?m not sure. Are we still friends?? She asked hopefully.

?Friends.? Darien agreed and they shook on it. Raye stood up to make her way 
back to
the camp, but Darien just sat there on the cliff over looking the water?s 
edge. The sun was
just setting and the mixture of orange, blue, purple and pink on the horizon 
was
breath-taking.

Back at the camp, everyone looked up to see where Darien was, but Raye 
didn?t say
nothing. Instead she walked over to Serena, leaned over and and whispered 
somethign to
her.

?Serena. Darien?s over there on the cliff. He seems lonly and your the 
perfect person to
cheer someone up.? Serena was about to protest when the look on Raye?s face 
caused her
to change her mind. As Serena got up to leave, Raye walking over and sat 
closely down
next to Chad.

*******

?Darien? Darien? Are you okay?? Serena asked as she gently sat down next to 
Darien.

?Yeah, Meatball Head, I?m gonna be fine. It wasn?t that bad really, Raye 
liked Chad, and
he liked her.?

?So your okay about this whole break-up?? Serena questioned.

?Actually yeah. I was actually gonna end it because I had begun to fall in 
love with
someone else.?

?WHAT?? You liked someone else but you never told Raye? You just kept 
stringing her
along?? Serena yelled at Darien anger filling her.

?No! Calm down Meatball Head! I just fell in love with them today, or at 
least that?s when
I realized it.? Serena calmed down and sat back down.

?Oh? Who is it? Mina? Maybe Lizzie?? Serena pried for information.

?You are so niave Serena. Who do you think I love?? Darien thought to 
himself.

?Oh, if there?s any chance for miricals, please let him say that it?s me.? 
Serena quietly
wished, and it seemed to be her night for miricals.

Darien reached a hand behind her head and another around her waist and 
pulled her closer
so that their noses were touching each other. Serena loved the feel of his 
strong arms
around her and being so close to him. His breath tickled her neck and teased 
her lips.

Darien was enjoying the feeling of her slim body within his arms. He felt 
her slinder arms
around his neck and he breathed in her heavenly sent.

?Serena Usagi Tsukino, it?s you I?ve fallen in love with.? Was all Darien 
said before he
leaned over and their lips touched.

They kissed for a moment, until they begin to run out of breath. When they 
broke, they
looked deep into each other?s eyes, getting lost. Soon, Serena noticed it 
was pitch-black.

?We better be getting back. The other?s are gonna be wondering where we 
are.? She
whispered.

?Let them wonder.? Darien replied as he pulled Serena sideways in his lap 
and kissed her
forhead, then both of her cheeks and the tip of her nose before catching her 
lips on his
own again. Serena wrapped her arms around his neck and played with his dark 
raven black
hair.

They both knew this was heaven that they were feeling and they never wanted 
to leave.
But they eventually had to and walked back to the camp. Serena was feeling a 
little
nervous as to how Raye would react when she saw Serena and Darien walking 
back hand
in hand, but one look at her and Serena?s fears flew away. Raye was holding 
one of
Chad?s hands and had her head resting on his shoulder. They both looked 
happy. In fact
everyone did.

Lita was leaning against Ken resting on him. Amy and Greg were sitting very 
close and
Amy blushed but grinned at Greg when he slipped his arm around her shoulder. 
Lizzie had
traded places with Mina and was pushing her brother against Mina. Soon he 
casually
reached an arm behind her back. Mina didn?t seem to mind at all.

Serena and Darien sat down between Raye and Chad and Lita and Ken. Raye 
looked at
her best friend and smiled happily. Serena sighted as Darien took her hand 
and kissed her
temple.


********

Mina.
