"You sure your parents won't mind you being away with me for the weekend?" asked Darien, still a little nervous about the idea of being alone with Serena for a whole weekend, and perhaps becoming victim to her horrible cooking. He cringed at the thought.

"Of course they don't mind!" she said cheerfully, mumbling something else to herself.

"What was that?" asked Darien. He looked at her curiously, as a look of sadness poured over his face. "You didn't tell the, did you?"

Serena looked a little guilty as he said this but continued to smile as she wrapped her arms around him, hugging her beloved boyfriend. "If I told them the truth" she said. "Then they would have never have agreed and then I wouldn't be able to spend the weekend with you". She snugged up against his chest as he sighed. He picked her up and swung her around, making Serena squeal in delight. He laughed at this gesture and softly put her back down again.

"Don't worry" she said. "This weekend will be perfect. Just you…and me"

Sitting on her bed, Serena had finished the last of her packing.

"A whole two days and a night alone with my one and only prince of the Earth, Darien. How romantic" she thought to herself. She giggled at the thought of it. She sighed as she reflected upon the memories of when she had first met her love. At the time she had only been a small child, it had been the day that her annoying younger brother had been born. She remembered walking past a room where a boy a few years older sat crying. Curious she had entered the room and walked up to the young boy. Serena sighed as she remembered the smell of the rose she had given him and her vow of friendship to him.

"We're perfect for one another" she thought. "I'm his family and he is mine"

"How on earth did you manage to drag all of those bags here by yourself?" Darien asked laughing.

Serena huffed and puffed as he helped load the last of her bags into the boot of her car. "It wasn't easy" she moaned. "But when you're a moon princess and you have a loyal feline by your side…well anything possible". She briefly laughed and wiped the back of her hand across her forehead as she put the last bag in the boot of the car.

Darien's mouth slightly dropped. "You made Luna help you!" he exclaimed. "Serena, have you no moral"

Serena brushed a piece of her off of her face. "Of course I have a sense of moral" she whined. "But I also have a sense of pride and dignity"

Darien didn't know what to say in reply to her comment. Instead he just shook his head and opened the car door, letting Serena get in. He closed it after her and got in his own side.

Serena slept for most of the trip up the sloppy mountains. Her head supported against her hands which sat upon the window. She was half curled up and on occasions would stretch her legs out, making Darien lose his gip on the steering wheel as she kicked his hands out of the way. The car would swerve in any direction it could until Darien gained control again. There where a few times when he had braked himself for a head on collision with other cars or trees but not they where alone, miles from anywhere.

"Another five hours and we'll be there" Darien thought picturing the ski ramps they would see and all of the hot cocoa they would make his taste buds dance. And the joy he would have of spending a whole weekend alone with Serena. His mouth started to salivate from the thought of the hot cocoa. He began to feel tired and weary.

"I could just about go to sleep this very minute" he thought, his eyes feeling drowsy. Simultaneously Darien yawned, taking his hands off the steering wheel to stretch and cover his mouth just as Serena yet again stretched and kicked the steering wheel. Darien didn't have enough time to grip the wheel.
