The rustling of the leaves diminished the sound of their passion. Darien abruptly stopped to look at Serena. She appeared sedated and tired in the light. Her head was tilted slightly and she glared into his eyes with awareness. He picked her up with ease. He carried her over to his car and placed her in it.

"You look a little tired." Darien mentioned as Serena's eyes grew heavy. It was the first night that she would sleep with tranquillity. Darien smiled and stepped into the driver's seat. He planted a tender kiss on her cheek as she finally slept soundly for the first time in months.

Mina awoke from her cat nap and turned to look around. Mina gasped. I'm in the middle of a room on the floor. Her back cramps could prove this. Mina then relaxed as she saw Ben curled up in a pillow of her golden hair. She smiled and lifted a piece of hair from his angelic face. Mina wrapped her hands around him and sighed. This is the first time I've ever slept with a guy! Mina laughed at herself on the inside as she realized what Rei would say. Ben turned and peered into her eyes.

"Well, I've gone to heaven with Mighty Aphrodite." Ben said with pleasure. Mina blushed as she kissed Ben sweetly on the cheek. She listened for music and heard it from a distance.

"We had better head out now." Ben nodded and helped Mina off the floor. They held each other in an affectionate embrace. Mina stepped into his car with ease as they started down the road.

"Will I see you tomorrow?" As Mina stepped out of the car to go into her house. Ben waited patiently for an answer.

"Is their any doubt?" Mina asked as she handed Ben a slip of paper with her phone number on it and ran inside. Ben smiled to himself as he took off. He started to talk to himself as he often did when he was by himself.

"There isn't any doubt at all. But there may be." Ben said with a whole different tone that would send shivers down anyone's throat.

The moonlight shined down as Rei and Chad were walking back to the temple on the desolate street. Rei was clinging to Chad's arm with compassion. Chad had been so sweet this evening, Rei thought. I had never noticed before.

Chad was walking with a glowing aura about him. Rei was being really nice, Chad pondered. I guess she really does love me. She wouldn't be nice to anyone that she doesn't love. They walked together in silence with the wind whistling through the trees. Rei turned to Chad.

"Did you have fun tonight?" Rei asked with hope. I hope I didn't ruin his day or anything. That kissing stuff may have been too intense for him. Chad smiled.

"Of course. I had the best night since I've met you and came to this town. I have finally found the true meaning to my vision in coming here." Chad replied. His grip on Rei became tighter and more protective, as if to stress his point. Rei's smile faded for a moment.

"Who was the song written for?" Rei asked with dismay. She remembered the way Chad had stared at Kat earlier that day. Chad's smile faltered.

"What song?" He asked nervously. Chad wasn't stupid. He knew what song she was referring to. How did she know about that? He wondered.

"The song I heard you singing today." Chad grimaced as hew waited for Rei to scold him for singing when she said not to. "It was so beautiful. I never heard you sing that great before." Rei said as Chad's eyes flew open.

"You liked it? Really?" Chad asked with surprise. Rei had always thought it was awful. Rei nodded her approval.

"Who was it for?" Rei asked again. She licked her lips in a nervous habit that she had since forgotten but did it instinctively. Chad looked at her.

"I wrote it for you. Didn't you noticed that the lyrics were of a girl that didn't care about a guy and ignored him while he was head over feet with her." Rei shook her head. Oh my God, Rei thought, was I that bad to him? I should have known. Rei groaned at her own stupidity. Chad looked up and saw the temple ahead and hugged Rei close to him.

"It's okay. That could have been about anyone. It's not your fault." Chad encouraged, trying to make Rei perk up without making her feel worse. They trudged up the stairs to the temple.

"Was I that mean to you?" Chad looked at her seriously as if to test her nerves with patience. Chad looked up.

"You were never that bad as you call it. You took me into your temple, dealt with me, and let me live her. Now, you've fulfilled my dreams by attaining pure happiness. You were never that bad." Chad replied. Rei's mouth dropped. Chad had thought the world of her and she had hardly noticed. The guilt ate away at her whining conscience. Chad saw the broken look on her face and gave her a quick but loving kiss on the cheek.

"Go to bed, my sweet. You deserve it." Chad opened the door for her and she plodded in with a heavy heart. She perked up when a daffodil was presented to her. She grabbed it with shaking hands. Chad was standing there with it thrusted in his hand.

"Don't feel bad." He handed it to her and walked away, leaving Rei with a shocked expression on her face and holding the golden daffodil.

The moon was setting as Lita and Ken walked out of the double doors of the mansion. Lita's dress was completely wrinkled yet she had not a care in the world for anything. Her life was like the brilliant sun at noon; the brightest it had ever been. Ken had carried her off the balcony while she then preceded to carry him out of the hall. The strength in her body had been hidden but when push came to shove, Lita had intimidation written all over her…except now. Ken had her beaming and acting like the considerate person she was and is.

Ken's car gleamed in the night with a soft sprinkled of dew on it. Lita slid into the passenger seat and leaned back with exhaustion. Ken sat down next to her.

"This night has been the best Lita. I hope we can do it again." Lita smiled at these words.

"I'll have to consult my black book but I think I might have a position for you to fill tomorrow afternoon." Lita said with a sigh. Ken kissed her softly. Lita returned the kiss with as much energy as she could muster. Ken started the car with a rumbling purr. Ken started to speed down the road as the surroundings blurred in Lita's eyes. She started to fall asleep as Ken leaned over.

"Where's your house?" Ken had been driving around the main streets. Lita awoke and blushed.

"Oh yeah, it's down this street, take a left and yeah, go ahead…keep going…there it is!" Ken braked as Lita quickly blurted out her house. Lita turned to him and he handed her his phone number.

"Call me tomorrow. I'll be sitting by the phone patiently." Ken grinned and Lita practically fell into a daze from it. Lita kissed him quick and jumped out of the car.

Lita unlocked her door with tired hands. The room was dark and she didn't bother turning on any lights since she knew her house. She slumped onto the chair and sighed with relief and joy. She heard noises coming from the corner like a person dying. Lita crept to the corner and laughed. Serena had been snoring in her sleep. Lita left her there and without putting on her pajamas, Lita slept in her gown in her own bed.
