Konnichi wa minna!! Thanks for all of the email. It was great that so 
many of you like my story. This is the second chapter and it starts 
where the last ended when Darien was being nice to her. For all of the 
confused ones out there, the story starts as a flashback to three 
months before Serena gets the letter that she receives at the beginning 
of chapter 1. Then, it goes past the part of three months and you get 
to see? well I cant tell you so read on. If you haven't read chapter 
one, please read it so you can have a better knowing of the story.

Disclaimers: I don't own Sailormoon or any of the characters. Naoko 
takeuchi does and she is soo lucky. I wish I could draw like her. 
Anyways, on with the story. Oh yeah, please send me feedback, good 
and/or bad about the story. I really appreciate it. Thanks. 
*Dreameress*


	Serena's head flew up off the desk and stared at the speaker. He 
was talking to her rationally, she thought with disbelief. And, he 
wasn't mocking. What was going on?
	Finally gathering her wits Serena narrowed her eyes at him. There 
had to be some catch to him being so? nice. Serena stared into his deep 
blue eyes but found no trace of emotion. 
	Darien raised an eyebrow in inquiry. Then he smiled, more like 
grinned. 'So, the bitch has suspicions? Well, I'll have to change that' 
he thought to himself. 
	"Why were you banging your head on the desk Serena. And why do 
you keep staring at me like that?" he asked in his most innocent voice.
	Serena was again speechless. What was wrong with him? Either 
today was act opposite day or he was actually being nice to her. Serena 
abruptly turned away from him. She couldn't be seen staring at him so 
much. I was so un Serena like. Still skeptical, Serena lifted a mocking 
brow and turned back to Darien. He seemed deep into the act of writing 
something on the paper. 
	Strange, Serena thought. The teacher had assigned no writing 
paper so what could he have been writing. Serena tried to conspicuously 
move her head toward Darien so she could see his paper. Just a little 
more to the side, she thought.
	Suddenly, Serena found herself leaning on Darien's chair, holding 
on for dear life.
	"EEK!" she yelled, trying to find a grip on his chair before she 
caused a major seen in the class.
	Interrupted from his note writing, Darien looked to his side to 
find a panicked Serena holding on to his chair. Her eyes were pleading 
with herself and the chair and her some of her hair was coming out of 
it's bun. It was all he could do to keep from laughing his ass off at 
the interesting seen before him.
	Serena felt a warm hand grab her arms and pull her up. Thankful 
but wary, Serena looked up at the keeper of the hands and found a 
grinning Darien. Before Serena could mutter thanks, she was intercepted 
by Darien's inquisitive question.
	"If I may ask, Serena," Darien started, adding emphasis to her 
name, "What were you doing leaning on my chair,"
	Serena saw he was about to laugh and angrily replied, "I was 
trying to find out what you we-" Serena stopped herself. She was about 
to tell that she was trying to figure out what he was writing. "That 
is, what you-r chair said because I thought I saw some writing on your 
chair," Serena finished. Serena was quite proud of herself with her 
great comeback. She looked back at Darien and saw he was quite 
unconvinced. In fact, he looked more like he was holding his breath 
trying not to laugh.
	Darien's non-laughing technique didn't turn out quite like he 
expected it to and he burst out laughing. He was laughing so hard, he 
could hardly breathe when the teacher focused her attention on him and 
curtly inquired what was so funny.
	'Damn that Serena for making me laugh,' he angrily thought to 
himself. He knew very well the reason he found her flaying on his 
chair. I was to see what he was writing. He knew that his ruse would 
catch Serena's attention and thus his efforts did not go without 
rewarded.
	After making a hasty excuse to the teacher, Darien picked up the 
note, quickly scrawled Serena on it, and placed it on Serena's desk.
	Serena noticed this and looked at him in silent inquiry. He 
nodded his head as if to say, "Open it". 
	Serena was triumphant. He was writing a note to HER. Serena 
winced, she should not be happy about this but she couldn't help 
herself. She wasn't blind and Darien was not a shabby specimen. In fact 
he was quite handsome. 
	Serena stopped her train of thought for she was becoming weary of 
her uncontrollable thoughts. She mentally scolded herself and then 
picked up the letter.
	"Serena" was scrawled on the front in Darien's precise 
handwriting. He had lovely handwriting. Serena opened it and read the 
note. It said:
	'Dear Serena,
		I was wondering if you would want to go out for ice cream 
or something. I found out it was your birthday and decided that I 
wanted to get to know you a little better. Please accept without 
thinking twice. I know I have been rude to you in the past and I wanted 
to make up for that. I was too shy to ask you myself.
	Love
		Darien'

	Serena sighed and looked up from the letter. She placed it on the 
table and wrote him saying that she would accept or something to that 
affect. But, what was with all of the change??
