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


Wednesday Afternoon

"She just left, with no explanation?" Raye asked. 

Yes, I know it had something to do with that phone call she had. 

"Maybe it was business, she?ll stop at nothing to please her customers."

"I don?t think so, for two reasons. Th look on her face different, the 
kind like she couldn?t believe she was doing something." 

"Time, it had to be him. What is the other reason?" 

"She would have told me if it had to do with business. Whatever the reason 
she didn?t want to tell me about it." 

"It had to be Tim, I?m telling you."

"Who is Tim?"

"The masked jerk, who also happens to be a rich snub that Serena plans to 
marry. I hate him with avenges. 

"It is almost twelve-thirty, Sere should be here soon."

"All of the girls come here for lunch every Wednesday, unless business 
interferes." 

"An excuse to see me! I love that girl." 

"You better, playing games with my best friend?s heart is not funny." 

"I?m glad I have your approval."

"Less than two weeks, I?ll help in whatever way I can."

Then Serena walked in wearing a light blue sundress, looking has if she 
didn?t have a care in the world. 

"Hello Darien, Raye. I?m not late am I?" 

"Nope just on time, I?ll talk to you at the table." 

"May I ask you a question Sere?" Darien asked her. 

"Can I hear the question first?" 

"Why did you leave so suddenly last night?" 

"I don?t want to discuss that. Why don?t I at here at the counter with you 
today? It will give us a chance to catch up some more." 

"That would be nice." 

"Ok, I?ll go over and tell the girls." Serena walked over to the booth 
that Serena?s four best friends were sitting. "Hey girls!" 

"Sere I got most of the design ideas down, will you have time this 
afternoon to go over them?" Mina asked. 

"Yes, I?ll be there just come on over." 

"When?s the rehearsal?" Amy asked 

"Next Friday. You all will there right?" 

"I?ll try and make it. Ken won?t though. Someone as to stay at the 
restaurant." Lita said. 

"I?m pretty sure I don?t have any surgeries that night, so I won?t plan 
any one that date. I?ll have to talk to Greg though." 

"You will have to chain me down in order to stop me from coming." Mina said
making everyone smile except for Serena who was looking at Raye. 

"What about you Raye?" 

Raye glanced over at the counter where Darien sat waiting for Serena. "I?ll 
be there, standing by your side, just like I promised." Serena gave Raye a 
quick hug. 

"What would I do with out you four?" 

"Starve in hunger!" Lita answered. 

"Failed High School!" Amy answered. 

"Stopped smiling!" Mina answered. 

"Stopped loving." Raye said more seriously and again glancing at Darien. 

"Well, I?m sorry, but I told Darien I would eat with him to catch up. But 
I?m sure I will talk to you all soon, no matter." 

"Go we can handle one lunch together without you, but just one." Raye said 
encouraging her to go over to be with Darien. Serena smiled a true happy 
smile waved at the girls, then went to sit down by Darien. 

"When did Darien get back?" Amy asked. 

"Monday, he came by the temple in the afternoon." 

"He was at the club Monday night. He even saw Serena sing." 

"He must of come for the wedding. Serena said she sent him an invitation 
at the address she finally got out of Andrew." Mina said. 

"I talked to Sammy about being here for the wedding in front of him." 

"He didn?t know that it was Serena?s wedding. In fact, Darien just found 
out yesterday." Raye informed the other girls. 

"Why is he back then?" Amy asked. 

"Now that he is a doctor he got a job in the hospital." 

"I?ve been to busy to meet with the new doctor?s." Amy said. 

"Andrew then asked him to come back for his and Mina?s wedding." Raye 
glanced over at Darien and Serena. "And the most important reason, his 
love and heart is here." 

"She was devastated after he left." Lita reminded them. 

"They belong together." Mina stated with a sigh. 

"He has less than two weeks." Amy pointed out. That?s when all their eyes 
turned to Raye. 

"Well, we just have to help him out as much as four friends can." Raye 
said with a smile at the couple eating next to each other at the counter. 


Back at the counter 

"How did you come to own you own business?"
"You always told me to go to college and follow my dreams. So never, say 
that I never listened to you." 

"I knew that you always wanted to design you wedding down to what the 
flower girl would be wearing. But you still weren?t sure about making a 
business out of designing clothing." 

Serena?s mood changed to a darker one. "I didn?t design my own wedding 
dress or anything else for my wedding." She couldn?t look at Darien. 

"I should have guessed once I saw you gold diamond ring. You never liked 
gold with diamonds, or big diamonds for that matter." 

"You remembered?" Serena looked at him surprised. 

"Yes." He didn?t tell her that the reason why he remembered was because 
he wanted o find the perfect ring for her. 

"Are you busy tomorrow night, Sere?" 

"As of right now, no." 

"I?ve got two tickets to the ice show. Would you like to go?"

"I would love to go, I haven?t gone since...well, it must have been the 
last time we went together." 

"Surely Tim would take you? It is one of your favorite things to go see." 

"Um...Timothy gets bored at those kind of things." Serena left out the 
part that she wouldn?t go with Timothy there, because that was a place 
Darien and her spent many nights, close together, ?to keep from freezing.? 

"Would you like to go to dinner either before or after, too?" 

"How about after?" 

"Full-Moon Dinner?" 

"Perfect! Pick me up at this address." Serena wrote her address down and 
handed it to Darien. Then her cell-phone rang. "Hello Serena Jacobs...
Eating with the girls like always...Mina needs to go over something?s with 
me...Tomorrow I have plans...I?m not sure Raye?s planning what we are 
doing...ok I?ll see you on Tuesday." She put her cell-phone away. "I?ll 
be right back Darien." Serena walked over to the girls, talked for a 
second, then walked back. 

"Please Darien, I don?t want to talk about it." 

Darien looked at her, knowing it must have been Tim. "So when do I get 
to meet this Tim of yours?" 

"Are you serious? You want to meet Timothy?" 

"Why wouldn?t I? I have to see for myself who my Sere is going to be 
spending the rest of life with." 

"Tuesday I?ll have dinner, it would be perfect. Of course I will have to 
ask Timothy. Oops, Look at the time I better be getting back." 

"Tomorrow is seven ok?" 

"Great I will be ready. Bye!" 

"Bye, Sere!" 


Later 

" ?My Sere!? Darien what are you doing to me? You had to come back didn?t 
you? Leaving was the worst thing you did to me? But as long as I didn?t 
see you in person or talked to you again I thought I could marry Timothy. 
But now you have returned to me, and have seceeded once again to confuse 
me." 

"Hey Sere, is now a good time?" 

Sere looked up to saw Mina standing in the doorway. She put the picture 
frame back into her desk drawer. 

"Yep come on in." 

"Ok. Miss. Jacobs her are my ides. I tried to make them short and simple." 

Serena ran through the list: 
1.Short trial 
2.A tad bit smaller vial 
3.Resemble low collar (nothing Andrew would disapprove of) 
4.White satin 
5.Embroidered hearts 

"It?s a good start Mina." 

"Why thank you. I have some clue what I want it to look like." 

"Take a look at these styles of vials." 

Mina picked a style that would go around her head to keep it in place. 

"Hearts for the design?" Serena asked her cousin. 

"Yes that would be perfect." 

"What about the style of the dress?s top?"

"I want it to be mostly strapless, but with some sort of simple straps 
that are there mostly for looks." 

"I think I have the perfect idea. I?ll call you as soon as I get it sketched 
out." 

"Not to be pushy but how long will it take do you think for you to sketch 
it?" 

"No more than three days, it will depend on how many people come in, 
between the next two days." 

"Well, I better let you go." 

"I?ll see you soon. Bye Mina!" 

"Bye Sere!" 


Thursday 10:00 Full Moon Dinner 

"Serena! Darien? You?re back!" Luna came up and hugged both of them. While 
she hugged Darien he whispered in her ear ?No Timothy tonight!? "Well, 
let me guess by you blue lips you must have gone to the ice show! Go sit 
down in your booth and I?ll bring out two Ice Show Specials." 

"Thanks Luna. Now where is my little kitten Diana?" Darien asked. 

"She?s not so little anymore, I?m afraid Dare." Serena told him. 

"She?s right, I?m not little anymore, but I will always be your kitten."
 Diana then gave Darien a hug. "Sere how did you get him to come back?" 

"Umm...?" 

"I found a letter in my apartment, and I just knew it was time for me 
to come back home." 

"Ok, you two eat up and warm up. One black coffee (Darien), and one hot 
chocolate (Serena), two orders of: two hot pancakes with warm syrup, side 
orders of hash browns, and toast." 

"Perfect, just the kind of meal I love to eat. Tell Artimis that it is 
delicious." 

"He?ll come talk to you I?m sure." Luna and Diana left them alone to eat. 

"Haven?t you been coming here?" 

"Yes as much as I can. Diana is going to hand out rice are my wedding." 
(a.n.: I know rice isn?t suppose to be thrown at weddings anymore because 
of the BIRDS, that?s the point right now!!) Darien just gave her a 
questioning look but didn?t say anything about it. 

"Look they never got ride of our sign!" On the wall was a small but 
noticeable heart with ?Sere + Dare? written inside of it. 

**FLASHBACK** 
"Why don?t you two just make a sign that will let everyone know this is your 
booth?" Artimis said jokingly. 

"Why not Dare?" Serena asked. 

"Would you mind Luna?"

"No, it will add to the charm and sentimentalizes to the place." Luna 
answered. 

"What should I write Love?" 

"Sere and Dare! Short, sweet, and to the point (a.n.: for Ames) 

Darien took out his pocket knife and etched into the wall ?Sere + Dare? 

"Anything else Love?" Darien asked. 

"Yes, but I want to do it." Darien handed her the knife, then let her 
take his place next to the wall. She etched a heart around their names. 
"Perfect! Don?t you think Dare?" 

"Perfect!" Darien agreed while looking lovingly into her sky blue, 
innocent eyes. 

"Instead of a tree you two have a booth." Diana said with a giggle. 

Serena, Darien, Artimis and Luna all started to laugh with her. 
**END OF FLASHBACK** 

"That was after we saw that one movie with al the Alstrialline actents." 
Darien said. 

"You never did get tired of that niche of calling me Love." 

"Should I have Love?" 

Serena didn?t have the chance to answer. Thankfully Artimis came over. 
Darien stood up to greet him. 

"Dare it is good to see you back here, and with our little Sere too!" 
Artimis said to him with a wink. 

Darien sat down next to Serena to allow Artimis to sit down, Luna would 
join them soon. 

"Where are you working?" 

"The hospital. I?m a surgeon." 

"Get called in a lot?" 

"No, since I?m still new. I only get in on weekday scheduled surgeries. 
Which is nice, I get to see my friends and catch up then." 

"Well, we are glad you came in tonight and don?t hesitate to come again. 
You are always welcome." Luna said while sitting down and joining the 
conversation. The four of them talked about old times along with recent 
happenings in their lives until one in the morning. Darien drove Serena 
back to her house, and walked her to her door. 

"I would invite you in Dare, but I?m shot." 

"It?s ok I should have gotten you home sooner."

"I had a wonderful time. Thank you for taking me."

"I would take you anywhere." Before Serena knew what was happening Darien 
kissed her passionately. Serena remembered how much she missed his kisses 
and returned his kiss with even more passion, not wanting it to end. Darien 
was the one to finally pull away, and leaned his forehead on hers. "I?m 
going to call you, ok?" 

"Yes." Serena whispered. 

The Darien left her just standing there. 


Friday 

"You are down to a week until the rehursal." Andrew told him at lunch. 

"I know." Darien said carelessly. 

"What is you next plan?" Chad asked. All of the guys were eating breakfest 
together. 

"I have been doing things like we use to. There is one thing she will love 
to do. But I need your help." 

"Anything for you Darien." Greag said. 

"Ya, what is it?" 

"With in the next twelve hours convience he she needsa vaction." 

"What? They all asked. 

"Just do it, with any luck I won?t need anymore help than that." Darien 
put down some money then left. 


3:30 

"Andrew is that cousin of mine around?" 

"No Sere. She had a photo shut today. Why?" 

"I told her I would call her, but thought she would be here. 

"You look like you could use a vacation Serena." 

"Next weekend and week I?ll be gone." 

"Why don?t you go some where this weekend, some where nice and quite?" 

"I?ll think about it." Serena said while looking at Andrew like he was 
going crazy. 

"Got to go, Bye!" 

"Bye Serena." 


Serena?s Home 4:45 

"Hello Serena Jacobs."

"Hi Love." 

"Darien." Serena said with lovingly surprised. 

"How was your day?" 

"Tiring."

"How so?" 

"I started and finished sketches of Mina?s wedding dress. How was your day?" 

"Good, started with having breakfast with the guys, and by three I saved 
a young girls life." 

"That must feel great knowing you saved a life." 

"It is, but I?m glad to have this weekend off." 

"What are you doing?" 

"My sister wants me to go to one of the hotels in Florida." 

"I thought Erica checked out the hotels now?" 

"She does, when she?s not eight months pregnant." 

"That is so great! When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning at seven that?s when the flight leaves. I was also 
wondering if you would come with me?" 

"How long are you going to be there?" 

"I leave on another seven morning flight Monday. Please come with me."

"Can I think about?" 

"Of course, call me back whenever. I won?t even care if you wake me up 
in the middle of the night." 

"I?ll let you know. Bye Dar." 

"Bye!" 

"Raye! I need to go talk to her." Serena said to herself needing a 
'sounding board' to talk about all the thoughts running through her head. 
"Plus, I also need to drop off the designs at Mina?s." 


6:30 

"Serena, what?s wrong?" Raye asked as soon as she saw Serena, come into 
the temple. 

"Raye!" Serena ran to her friend and hugged her and started to cry. 

Raye just held her and softly told her everything would be ok until Serena 
clamed down. 

"Now, tell me what?s wrong." 

"I don?t know." 

"Well, what happened today?" 

"I worked on Mina?s dress, talked to Andrew at the arcade, talked to Darien 
on the phone, dropped off the dress sketches at Mina?s, and then came here 
and I felt depressed all of a sudden." 

"I hope it?s not the temple." 

"No!" Serena said with a small smile." 

"Wedding chitters?" 

"No, different, and some how I know it?s Darien?s fault. Why couldn?t he 
just have stayed away?" This brought her back to tears and Raye comforting 
her some more. 

"Everything will be ok. Remember your heart knows who you love. Why don?t 
you go on a weekend vacation? You more than deserve one, and don?t tell me 
you will be on vacation next weekend, it?s not the same." 

"You are right Raye, I do need to get away for a little while." 

"So will you go away for the weekend?" 

"I?m going to think about it. I have until tomorrow morning." 

"What?!"
