Chapter 1:

"Ahhh! Why didn't anyone wake me up?!" Yelled Serena Tsukino as she bolted straight up from bed realizing she was going to be late for school.

Luna yawned unsympathetically from her relatively safe and comfortable position on the windowsill, "Your mother woke you up twice Serena, your alarm blared at you three times before you threw it against the wall and I, myself attempted to rouse you from the coma-like state you were in several times."

Serena stopped her mad run around her room frantically throwing on her blue and white school uniform to glare at her annoying pet cat, "Thank you so much Luna!" She didn't have enough time to stay around to listen to her cat's next witty reply as she bolted down the stairs.

"I'm late!!!" Serena yelled, whilst she grabbed her book bag, slipped on her shoes and raced through the door.

"Wait Serena! You forgot your lunch!" Her mother- Irene shouted after her.

"Too late mom, she's already flown the coop." Sammy said, entering the kitchen.

"Oh that girl, when will she ever learn to be more responsible and wake herself up earlier for her to actually get to school on time?" Serena's mother asked mainly to herself.

"Only when pigs start to fly, hell freezes over, money will begin to grow on trees and when someone actually hands over a penny for someone else's thoughts, will then Serena might actually wake up on time." Sammy quipped.

Irene let out a heavy sigh, "Oh dear."

Meanwhile, Serena ran full bolt down the street, trying in vain not to be late for school once again. Only to crash hard against a brick wall. Except it wasn't a brick wall as two arms came around her body to steady her precarious balance.

"Oh! I'm so, so, so sorry- Darien!" Serena exclaimed happily when she looked up into the bemused eyes of her boyfriend.

"Well, good morning to you too Meatball Head." Darien smiled, tucking an errant strand of blonde hair behind Serena's ear.

Serena grinned goofily in response to the once hated nickname. It still stumped the blonde, how someone as ditzy as her had somehow managed to snag someone who was not only roguishly handsome with his dark piercing blue eyes and coal black hair but also smart and above all else kind. "Hey…" Serena breathed out.

Darien tightened his grip around her waist, drawing her up against his body. Serena's breath hitched, her head tilted further up. His head drew further down meeting her halfway, until his head blocked out the sun. His darkened eyes and tantalizing lips the only things that came into Serena's sharp focus. Her strawberry glossed lips parted in sweet anticipation, her hands wrapped under his neck drawing him closer still towards her. And then he kissed her. A sweet, tender good morning kiss. Serena groaned in despair before she heard him chuckle in response, crushing her against him. His lips and tongue plundering her mouth, reawakening all their desires since the last time they had been together.

She shuddered against him, not wanting the kiss to ever end. Her hands traveled through his jet-black hair, eliciting groans and an escalating fever pitch need to get closer, to never stop this feeling. Eventually, they mutually drew away from each other, their breaths coming in short pants as they greedily sucked in fresh oxygen.

Darien rested his forehead against Serena's in a tender gesture. "Oh gods Serena, the things you make me feel-"

Serena smiled blissfully, kissing the tip of Darien's nose.

Abruptly he took a step back and looked at his watch, "Sere- I hate to tell you this but your going to be late,"

"Late? Late for what? Oh my god! School! I'm going to be sooo late! Oh no Ms Haruna is going to kill me!" She hastily kissed Darien again and then sprinted full bolt down the street, "I got to go! See you this afternoon at the arcade Darien!"

Whatever Darien's response was, Serena didn't hear it with her continued frantic bolt straight for her high school.

The late bell rang just as she was entering the front gates. She hurdled her way across the school campus, already dreading facing Ms Haruna, who had no remorse in handing out detention slips when someone was late, especially if that someone was Serena. She nearly skidded past her first period door and covertly slipped in when Ms Haruna back was turned. The blonde let out a relieved sigh when she managed to slip into her desk, unnoticed by her teacher.

Her relief was short lived as Ms Haruna turned and greeted the class, "Well it looks like everyone is here now," She said with a pointed look in Serena's direction, "So we'll just start the lesson. Everyone pass your homework to the front of the class. Make sure your name is written clearly on the top of the page. You're in Year Eleven now this shouldn't be like pulling teeth anymore."

The class tittered at Ms Haruna's little joke but Serena could only watch with mortification as everyone passed up his or her homework apart from her. A sudden flashback to her homework sheet still partially not completed sitting on her desk at home, made Serena give a full body blush in shame. How could she have forgotten her homework? Again?

"You can also collect your assignment from my pigeon hole from lunch time today. Serena? You might want to stay back after class today so we can discuss a few things," Ms Haruna said.

Serena's face flamed, this just wasn't her day at all.

"Okay class, so today were going to continue reading Shakespeare's King Lear. Everyone take out your copies while I hand out these sheets."

Oh the day was just endless, Serena thought gloomily, and it never gets any better than this. She frowned as she tried to concentrate on her work and tried not to think about the long day ahead. Oh what joy.

Yay! Hey y'all this is my first Serena/Darien multi-chap fic that I've written in a long time. This idea and plot has been constantly swirling in my head for several years but I haven't actually typed the words until just recently.

If my characters seem a little AU its because I haven't watched the tv series, read the comics or *gasp* even read much Sailormoon fanfiction anymore.

But please, please send me a review! I will love you forever if you do!
