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

"What is this?" Darien asked, picking up an old bottle. The
bottle was purple and pink. It had foreign looking patterns
scrawled across in golden ink.
"Rita sent it to me. She found in on a dig. She said it
belonged to a Turkish prince," Andrew responded. Darien
raised an eyebrow, looking skeptical.
"Look, I'm dying to know what the writing on the writing
means," Andrew began, pointing to the scratches of gold.
"Why don't you take it with you and translate it. I don't have
time to do stuff like that, and you really could use
something to take your mind off that girl."
"Sure, I'll take it hom-... What Girl?"
Andrew winked at him teasingly. "The one that has you
gaga."
"I'll have you know there is no 'girl'," Darien said, before
walking out of the arcade, bottle in hand.

'Andrew is right. I do need to take my mind off Serena.'
Darien thought as he strolled down the sidewalk. He rarely
drove, as he lived a half-mile away. The odd bottle was
clutched tightly in his grip as he thought of ways to begin
his research. 'I think I'll try the internet first, then the
library.' he concluded. He was interrupted by his next train
of thoughts by a CRASH and a soft whimpering of a young
girl. His eyes quickly darted downward and rested on a
blonde, sitting on his feet, in the middle of a very big mess
of test papers and books.
"Be careful Meatball Head!" he scolded, shaking a finger at
her in mocking. He expected to be yelled at for the
unnecessary name-calling, but instead was met with the
delightful sound of her laughter.
"Darien," she said breathlessly, after a good 5 minutes of
laughing. "You looked so funny! Just like Ms. H!"
Darien smiled and helped Serena to her feet. They both
began to collect the scattering pieces of paper, before they
were blown away by the wind.
"What is that?" Serena asked curiously when she spotted
the unusual bottle in Darien's hand. Darien's defense mode
kicked in before he could give it another thought.
"None of you binuess Meatball Brains!" He snapped, before
walking off the other way. He could faintly hear the sounds
of her confused crying.

'Why am I such a jerk?' Darien asked himself as he
continued the walk to his apartment. The sun was
beginning to set low in the sky when he reached his
apartment building. Before he stepped inside, Darien saw
the first star of the on coming evening. He thought that
something might happen between him and Serena if he
were nicer. Heaving a deep sigh, he walked into the lobby.

Darien walked through the doors and threw his jacket on
the couch. He turned on his computer and connected to the
internet.

3 hours Later

"Odd," Darien mumbled to himself as he looked between
the bottle and the computer screen. The golden symbols had
begun to shine brightly under the bright lamp light. Darien
had figured out that the writing was Ancient Turkish and it
said something -very- interesting.
Darien printed out the alphabet on the screen and sat down
with the bottle and began to de-code. It was 3 in the
morning when he finally could decipher what the bottle
said.
"You will be granted a Genie if you have true love in your
heart. The one you love shall become the Genie and the
spell will only be broken when they admit that they love
you to the world,"
Darien looked at the bottle strangely and
set it down. A very interesting idea was beginning to seep
into his head, but Darien pushed the thought aside and
climbed into bed.

***

Luna was disturbed from her slumber by a very strange
movement coming from her charge. The cat opened a weary
eye and the sight that greeted her was one of the most
confusing things Luna had ever seen. Serena was sleeping
peacefully, but her skin was glowing an unearthly gold. The
pajamas that she was wearing started to morph into a pair
of pants and a top. Luna, more awake now, jumped off the
bed and went off to find the other scouts. Before long, Luna
was stopped in the hallway by a very kind looking fairy-
type person.
"Sorry Luna. I can't let you alert the scouts. My cousin
needs to find the love for Darien she keeps locked up in her
heart," she said in a kind voice. The girl looked about
fourteen and had her dark auburn hair up in meatballs, with
the rest flowing down her back, instead of in pigtails. A
silver cresent moon glowed brightly on her forehead. The brown
eyes clashed with Luna's, waiting for her to remember.
"Princess Selenity?" Luna asked. When the girl nodded,
Luna bowed then looked at her in disbelief.
"I thought Metallia killed..."
"No, Luna. I will explain later. Right now, I'm afraid you
can't disturb Serena. Daymiond's idea for them was positively
genius!" she exclaimed giddily. Placing a finger on Luna's
crescent moon, she erased the memories of herself and the
glowing Serena from the cat's mind. When she was finished,
she held up her crescent moon crystal and vanished.

***

Serena stirred in her sleep. A very pleasant smell was
drifting through her senses. She awoke and turned to look
at her alarm clock. But it wasn't there!
"Luna! Did you move my alarm clock?" she asked in a
panicky voice. Hearing no reply, she opened her eyes
completely, looking over her surroundings. The walls of her
bedroom, well she wasn't -in- her bedroom. The room was
circular, decorated with a mass amount of pink and purple
satin pillows. The walls were covered in a light pink sheer
fabric, and the floor was a royal purple. Looking up, she
saw the room's ceiling had a very pointed tip, where it
ended.
"Where am I?" she asked herself, slowly turning completely
around in the tiny room. She looked for an escape, but she
found no windows and no doors. Sighing, she plopped
herself down on a large purple pillow. Her thoughts drifted
to her clothes. She was no longer dressed in her nightgown,
but in a pair of loose fitting pants, and a small bikini top.
(think 'I dream of Jeannie', only purple and pink.) Her hair
was still in the meatballs but small pearls circled both of
them.

Rubbing her eyes, she willed the image of the room around
her to disappear. But, she once again opened her eyes to be
met with the soft satin walls. Sitting down, she tried to
think of ways to get out of the ordeal. Her face lit up, an
idea striking her. Pulling out her broach, she held it up in
the air and took a deep breath.
"Moon Prism Power!" she cried.
Nothing.
She shook the broach, hoping whatever was wrong with it
would fix itself.
"Moon Prism Power!" she shouted again. Nothing. She
placed the broach back in her pocket, before moving on to
plan two.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!"

"somebody help me."
Darien could have sworn he heard the bottle say something.
Shaking his head, he poured himself another cup of coffee.
'Man, I really must be tired. I could have sworn I heard
Seren...'
"Help Me!"
Darien's eyes darted automatically to the shelf that held the
bottle. Setting his cup down, he walked the distance across
the small apartment, so that he was standing in front of the
bottle.
"Hello?" he called.
"Darien?!" came the small reply. Darien's eyes widened
with shock as he picked up the bottle. He turned it over
slightly, so he could see the writing on it once again.
"Serena?" he asked uncertainly. He didn't really believe that
she was trapped in a bottle in his apartment, did he?
"Yeah! Who else did you think it was? Where am I? I don't
like this Darien! Get me out!"
Darien rubbed the side of the bottle. He had no idea what to
expect, he figured he'd follow in Aladdin's footsteps. A
mist of pink smoke shot out of the bottle. It hurried to the
floor, where Serena's feet formed. There were tiny gold
strap sandals on her feet. Next her legs came, and finally
she was whole.

"Serena?" Darien choked out. He couldn't believe what he
had just seen, let alone believe that his Meatball Head was
standing in his apartment, wearing a very flattering genie
costume. Serena stared at him for a minute, before looking
around the apartment.
"Darien, why am I in your apartment?"
'Fair question,' Darien thought.
"Meatball Head, you should sit down."
"Why should I? Don't call me Meatball Head!
What am I wearing? Why am I in your aparment? "
"I was going to explain Meatball Brains, but you won't shut
up," Darien retorted. Serena took a step back, but bumped
into the book case. The precious bottle wavered on the
shelf. It tipped over to one side and fell.
"Serena the bottle!" Darien cried, but the bottle was already
sailing towards the ground. Darien shut his eyes tightly,
waiting for the crash the would spell Serena's freedom. But,
it never came.

Darien opened one eyelid slowly. The bottle was floating in
mid-air, inches away from his nose. Serena, looking very
frightened, was holding up one of her hands. It was as if she
was steering the bottle.
"Darien?"
"Yeah?"
"I think I'm... well, am I a, a genie?" Darien slowly nodded as the bottle
spun around in the air. It wove difficult patterns
as Serena spun her finger around. She looked lost in
thought, but suddenly her face lit up. Waving her hand, she
elevated a pillow and threw it at an unsuspecting Darien.
He fell forward with a undignified 'oof' that caused the
absentminded Serena to laugh.

Darien picked himself off the floor and turned to face
Serena.
"Is that any way to treat your master?" he asked teasingly.
Serena formed a chair out of mid-air and plopped down in
surprise. The shock soon turned to disbelief and anger.
"I am NOT your slave!" she screamed, jumping up. Darien
pointed to the bottle and back to her.
"No, you're my genie."
"I can't be. You don't own me."
"Yes I do. When I rubbed the bottle, you came out of it and
suddenly possessed magical powers. Therefore, you are my
genie and I believe I get three wishes."
Serena got red in the face and tried to think of a comeback.
Failing, she raised her head and elevated up to Darien's eye
level.
"Anything you wish, Master," she said sarcastically. She
walked over to the bottle, and sticking her tongue out at
Darien, turned into a pink smoke and went back into her
bottle.

***

"I said three wishes! Now come out and give them to me!"
Darien screamed at the bottle. Serena had been in the bottle
for seven hours now and refused to come out. The bottle shook
violently in his hands and flopped onto the couch. Darien
bent down and picked it back up. Holding the bottle in both
hands, he shut his eyes tightly and wished.
'I wish Serena would come out of the bottle and see me
with an open mind and heart.'

Serena sat down on the giant pink pillow. She looked up at
the ceiling of the small room and sighed. Suddenly, a voice
entered her mind and she transformed into Darien's living
room. Her genie outfit disappeared and a Juban school
uniform took its place.
"Darien?" Serena asked, breaking the tense silence. Darien
raised his surprised eyes as he caught sight of Serena.
"Are you still mad at me?" he asked cautiously.
"Yes, but I am looking forward to making up."
"Serena? Wha-" Darien didn't have time to finish his
question. Serena had sat down on the couch, right beside
Darien and had thrown her lips onto his. He was very
surprised at the quick movements, but quickly recovered.
Serena's lips pressed hungrily unto his, urging his lips to
give way. Darien tried to regain some control, but felt
himself allowing Serena to explore his mouth. A deep
groan rose from his throat as he pressed against her body
and wouth. He could feel her rapid heartbeat pounding
through the material. Finnally, when the two separated,
both were out of breath.

Darien's eyes found Serena's and he opened his mouth to
finish the question of which he had been interrupted.
"What was that for?" he asked softly.
Serena placed a hand on his chest and giggled. "We made
up silly." Darien was really puzzled and still shocked by the kiss.
Serena was definitely -not- acting normal. The kiss was
something that he had been dreaming about, but never
thought that it would have happened like this.

"Serena," he said sternly. "Do you like me?"
Serena gave him a weird look and answered. "Of course I
like you. How could I not? With your sexy black hair," She
reached up a hand to brush it out of his eyes, "amazing deep
blue eyes, ugly green jacket."
"Hey!" Darien protested. "I like my jacket."
Serena's eyes twinkled merrily. "So do I."

Darien got up quickly and studied the girl with his eyes. He
couldn't keep her like this. 'Why not?' his mind protested.
'Because I would never know if she loved me for me. And
not because of some stupid wish.' he countered back.
Making the hardest decision of his life, he grabbed the
bottle.
"I wish Serena to turn back to normal." Darien watched,
fascinated as she spun around. She was engulfed in pink
and white lights and when she stopped spinning, she was
back in the getup. "I said NORMAL!" Darien screamed.
Serena looked stunned, Darien was backing away from her,
a scared, wild look in his eyes.
"Why are you yelling at me?" she asked scared. Darien
kissed her only a few moments ago and now was backing
away from her like she had a rare disease. 'Wait a second.
KISSED?' her mind hollered. The blond fell back onto the
couch with a stunned dreamy look on her face. Darien had
kissed her. Well... actually she had kissed -him-. Serena hid
her blushing face in the folds of the couch.

In the meantime, Darien had come closer as he saw raw
emotions fly across Serena's face. First it was shock, then
embarrassment, then love. Wait... -love-? Darien quickly
did a double take but was disappointed to see that the look
of love had melted away into embarrassed again. "Did I
really... um,... you know?" Serena's muffled voice came
from the couch. Her red stained cheeks were visible and her
eyes were fearful of the reaction she would get out of
Darien.
Darien looked down at the genie. "Yeah, Meatball head.
You did kiss me." Serena's eyes widened in horror as she
quickly hid her face in the black leather of the couch.
"Sorry," she squeaked. Darien's face fell. She was... sorry?
He had hoped that she would have liked the kiss as much as
he had. "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have wished for that." he
mumbled. Darien quickly walked into the kitchen. "You
want anything to eat Serena?" he called from behind the
closed doors.
"No I'm fine," she replied. She could hear Darien banging
pots and pans around, and soon the noise stopped.

Darien sat on the tile floor, leaning on the refrigerator. 'I am
such a jerk. No, not a jerk, a moron, or an idiot.' he thought
to himself. Self pity over came him and irrational thoughts
raced through his mind. 'She will never kiss me again.
I can't believe that someone gave me a taste of heaven
and then took it away.'
The kiss for Darien had awakened an emotion that he
thought had fled from him for eternity. She had caused him
to fall in love with her. It was her fault. Silently, tears
began
to form in his eyes. Memories of his parents and the void of
love he felt in his heart continued to gnaw at the man. He
was being eaten alive by his own emotions. Tears came
faster now, soaking his shirt. Darien tried to replay the kiss
he and Serena had shared in his mind. But the remembrance
wouldn't come. More tears coursed down Darien's face as
he tried desperately to fight them off. He was startled by a
soft voice.

***

Every time Serena thought about it, a blush came and
reclaimed her pale cheeks. The kiss had been wonderful,
magnificent, earth shattering, and yet Serena wished it had
never happened. 'Darien must think I'm a real creep now. I
can't believe I jumped a 20 year old. But, didn't he say
something about wishing for it?' she kept repeating to
herself. She had been sitting on the black couch for about
twenty minutes now. The banging in the kitchen had long since
stopped. 'Maybe I should go in there and help him. Maybe
he will think of me as a regular person now, well, at least a
genie.' Serena used her powers to float into the next room. 'I
could really get used to this.' she said to herself as she
floated though the wall.

Serena was shocked to say the least. She had expected to
see Darien in there preparing some microwave dinner or
something and instead she was there to find him curled up
in a ball, crying. "What's wrong Darien?" she asked him
softly. Darien's head lifted and he tried fiercely to wipe
away the tears that had started to leak. She moved closer to
him and sat down on the ground next to the refrigerator.
"You okay?" she asked. The tears had stopped flooding but
still continued to trickle down Darien's face like a stream.

Darien looked at the floor embarrassed. He couldn't believe
that Serena had just walked, well... floated in. He was not
used to breaking down and crying. In fact, the last time he
had cried was when his parents died. He was not willing to
show his feelings until he could at least understand them.
Which he couldn't. "I'm fine Meatball head. Why don't you
go order some pizza," he said trying to mask his voice. His
face had turned stone cold and he showed no signs of
crying before. He stood up and Serena followed his lead.
"Darien, don't hide your true self. It will only hurt later,"
Serena said, wrapping Darien in a hug.

Initially, Darien was in shock. 'Is she hugging me?' he asked
himself. His body went stiff but soon relaxed and hugged
the girl tightly. The hidden tears began to surface again and
this time Darien made no move to fight them. He had never
been held in such an embrace before. True, it wasn't a
motherly embrace, but it was one of a person he loved. And
apparently one that cared for him. Darien closed his eyes
and tried to imagine his family. He knew in a second that
somehow he wanted Serena to be his family. Reluctantly he
pulled away.

Serena felt him release his grip from around her waist. She
looked up at his face. Her fingers mindlessly brushed the
few remaining tears off his face. "You okay now?" she
asked. Darien nodded mutely. He picked up one of her
hands and held it in his.
"Serena," he began. "Thank you for being here with me.
You are the closest thing I have to family and I don't want
to lose you." Serena barely had time to look shocked, let
alone think, before Darien leaned down and fully kissed
her.
Serena's mind filled with images of a few minutes ago,
her lips ravishing hungirly against his, but now his were
pressing against her own. She felt herself go week at
the knees as he tilted her head backward, allowing himself
a better angle. His arm wrapped possivly around her,
holding him close to her, molding their bodys together.
His tounge probbed at her soft lips until Serena gave
up hiding her feelings and granted him full passageway.
She moaned dilightfully as his hand gently massaged her
back, just underneath the back clasp of her bikinni top.
Serena moaned again as she pressed her body even
tighter against his, shaping them as one person.
Slowly they pulled away from their embrace.

Serena once again looked up at Darien with surprised eyes.
"I- uh... I mean... Darien?" she asked nervously. Darien
looked down at the stuttering girl. Her eyes looked at him
with unreadable emotion and Darien thought he saw the
one named 'hope'. Hope was exactly what he needed right
now.
'It's now or never.' he told himself. Taking a deep breath
Darien got down on one knee. "Serena, I want to ask your
forgiveness." he started. "For being a complete idiot and a
stupid moron. I never meant to hurt you at all in any way,
and I would not be surprised if lighting came and struck me
down for what I've done." Serena's jaw dropped but she
didn't say anything, so Darien continued. "I want to tell you
how much you mean to me. The joy and life you radiate is
the only joy and life I've felt for years. I have wanted you
ever since you threw that useless test paper at me. Serena, I
want you. I love you." Serena's jaw dropped even lower.

'Could this be true? Can he actually be saying the things
I've waited so long for him to say? I know I love him, but I
thought it was silly. Now he loves me? This is too good to
be true. I have to tell him. I need him.' Serena closed her
mouth and continued to look down at Darien. His eyes were
still puffy and red around the rims and his shirt was still
pretty wet. Serena's eyes went wide as she understood
everything. Silently she tugged on Darien's hands until he
got up. Placing a finger on his lips, Serena spoke.
"Darien, I... uh... well, Darien, I love you too." Quicker than
lighting, the two were separated. A blinding light appeared
in front of the two, who were now on separate sides of the
kitchen. The princess from before floated down into the
middle of the living room.
"Why didn't you kiss him again before you told him you loved him?"
she asked Serena. Serena started to open her mouth in
protest but shut it quickly.
"Who are you?" Darien's voice boomed from the other side.
'Could this be the Princess in my dreams?' he asked
himself. Studying her closely, he decided that it wasn't. She
was too tall and she wore her hair slightly different. Sighing
Darien watched the girl for an answer. The beautiful girl
turned to answer him.
"I am Princess Selenity of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
Cousin to Serenity and Engaged to Prince Daymiond of
Earth, who is brother to Prince Endymiond" she announced.
Darien and Serena both looked at
each other and felt they should bow for some reason. So
they did. "Get up! Royalty does not bow before each other.
Especially since we are all... well almost all family." she
exclaimed.
Serena and Darien were really confused now.
"Royalty?" Serena asked shocked. Selenity nodded her
head. "You will find out about that some other day," she
said before reaching for her necklace. There on the charm
was the other half to the Silver Crystal. The crescent moon
crystal glowed brightly as Selenity raised it in front of her.
"I hate to do this guys." she said. "But you will find each
other right after I'm done." Selenity raised the crystal in her
hands. Raising them above her head, she shouted out.
"Silver Crescent Moon Power!" The trio was bathed in a
bright light and when the light faded, the two girls were
gone.

***

Serena woke up in her bed. The digits on the clock
indicated that it was in the afternoon. Yawning Serena sat
up and stretched. The genie costume was gone! Serena's
eyes flew open as she looked down at herself. 'Was it a
dream?' she asked herself. She knew she would never look
at Darien the same way again. The dream had been so real.
In her mind's eye she could picture the inside of the bottle,
the tears that had flowed down Darien's face. And the
burning kisses. She could even remember the Princess that
had called them royalty. Serena sighed and closed her eyes.
'It was nothing but a stupid dream.' she told herself. 'Darien
could never love someone like me. I'm too much of a
crybaby, too klutzy, too stupid.' Serena stopped her
thoughts as a silvery glow flooded her eyes. In front of her
now was the Princess from the dream.

"I thought you were a.."
"A dream?" Serena nodded. "Well," Selenity giggled. "I'm
not and Darien really did tell you that he loves you. Go to
the arcade. He will be there waiting," she whispered kindly
before disappearing. Serena scrambled out of bed and
started throwing clothes around, looking for something to
wear.

***

Darien watched in fascination as the two girls disappeared.
'Wait! Serena come back!' he called in his mind, but it was
too late. The two girls had disappeared. Darien went to sit
down on the couch. His brain was overloaded with the
wonderful things that had happened. Suddenly, a voice
floated throughout his mind. 'She's waiting. At the arcade.'
The voice sounded hauntingly familiar but Darien shrugged
it off and headed towards the arcade.

Andrew looked up from his position at the counter. Setting
down his rag, he greeted the group of teenage girls that had
just walked in. "Hey girls!" he called out. The four girls
ignored him but headed toward the counter, and as they got
closer, Andrew could see the worried expressions on their
faces. When the girls had reached the counter, Andrew
asked them, "Is everything okay?"
Lita and Ami exchanged glances. Mina looked like she was
about ready to cry. Rei was busy fuming at the counter to
pay attention to Andrew. "Hello?" Andrew asked waving a
hand in front of Rei's face. The fiery priestess released her
angry stare from the counter to focus it on Andrew. 'Woah,
don't want to get on her bad side right now.' Andrew
thought.
Lita spoke up before Rei had a chance to yell at someone,
or something. "We are looking for Serena." she explained.
Andrew raised an eyebrow as he studied the group. True to
her word, the usually cheerful leader of the pack was
missing.
"We haven't heard from her in a while," Ami spoke up.
Mina excused herself and went to the restroom.
"The Meatball Brain was supposed to meet us for a scou...
uh... shopping trip. When the ditz didn't show up, we called
her house. They said that they haven't seen her all day,"
growled Rei. Mina returned from the bathroom, her face
freshly washed, no signs of the recent tears.
"Did he find her?" she asked Ami. Sadly Ami and Lita
shook their heads 'no'. Just then, a man burst into the
arcade.

Looking around the quite busy arcade, he eagerly scanned
the arcade for the familiar hairstyle. He saw the two
meatballs in a shadow but stopped himself when he realized
they belonged to a stunning brunette that looked very
familiar, in fact she looked just like the princess that had
just appeared in front of them a couple of hours ago. But
Darien wasn't concerned with her - only Serena. Not
finding the girl with 'his' meatballs, Darien proceeded to
walk up to the group of girls crowded around the counter.
'Maybe they know where Serena is.' he thought. He was
suffering immensely from Serena 'withdrawal'. He knew
that he needed to see her, touch her, admire her. And now
that he knew that she loved him, he needed to kiss her.
Assure her of his love to her a million times over. To never
let her go. His eyes were the only part of him that showed
the suffering pain he was going through. Reaching the
group of girls and his bestfriend, he was surprised when
they asked him the question that he had been preparing to
ask all along. "Have you seen Serena?' Andrew asked. "The
girls' are very worried about her."
"Actually, I was looking for her myself." Darien replied. If
he hadn't been in the urgent stage of cursing the voice that
told him to come here, he would have had a very good time
looking around at the small crowds' dropped jaws. Lita was
the first to recover.
"Wha- why are -you- looking for her?" she asked in
amazement. Darien blushed and was about to say
something when the small jingle of bells acknowledged the
presence of another person entering the arcade.

"Darien!" Serena cried, sprinting her way across the arcade
floor and running into his arms. The girls and Andrew
looked on, shocked as the couple's faces closed in and
kissed deeply. Lita and Mina sighed in longing after they
had gotten over the shock. Ami and Rei remanded in shock
with Andrew. When the two finally separated, they turned,
still in each others' arms, to face their friends. "Uh... we...
I mean..." Serena tried to explain to the still amazed people.
She stopped, eventually embarrassed, a blush staining her
cheeks. Her face turned to Darien's chest and she buried
herself into the soft folds of his jacket. "You tell them,
Muffin." she said into his shirt. Only it sounded more like
"u telm mmm uffim"

***

Darien and Serena blushed again as Andrew made another
remark on how he had seen this coming a long time ago.
The five girls and two boys were seated at the largest booth
in the arcade. It was near closing, but the sun still streamed
through the arcade's large windows. The happy couple had
told the crew that they simply had admitted their love for
each other and decided to become a couple. Now they were
paying the price of having such teasers in their circle of
friends.

The group looked up from their um... interesting
conversation as one girl around Serena's age and a boy that
looked about a year younger that Darien walked in.
Serena and Darien both let out a gasp in surprise. The girl,
it was... Selenity! Her hair was identical in style to Serena's
but was a bit darker brown that Lita's hair. Her dark eyes
shined merrily on the couple, sitting side by side, with their arms
wrapped around each other. Serena quickly got up from her
seat and rose to introduce the newcomers.
"Uh... guys this is..."Serena started. But wait what was she
supposed to call her? Princess didn't seem to be a normal
title at the moment, as Selenity was dressed in civilian
clothes.
"Rochelle. My name is Rochelle." Selenity said, saving the
embarrassing moment for Serena. Serena flashed Rochelle
a grateful glance as she introduced her companion.
"This is my boyfriend, Nick, " she said gesturing to
the boy whose arm was casually draped over her shoulders.
Seven pairs of eyes turned to focus on the boy and all of
them gasped quietly. Nick was a almost an exact
image of Darien. The only distinct difference was that the
boy was a year or two younger than Darien and he had
flashing green eyes.
"Hello guys!" he greeted them easily. His voice was deep, but
somewhat higher than Darien's. "Come, sit down with us."
Darien invited the couple. Smiling they both took a seat,
Rochelle sitting next to Serena. Nick on her other
side. "Is his name really Nick?" Serena asked
Rochelle in a whisper. "No," Rochelle said shaking her
head. "His real name is Daymiond. But, I will tell you
another time."
Serena nodded, not really understanding, and turned back to
the conversation. Soon Rochelle was chatting with the five
other girls like they were old friends. All the while Serena
and Darien's arms never left their places from around each
other.
