The Meeting

**************************************************
5 YEARS LATER~~~~~~

"Hi.ya!" yelled Serena as she went through her daily routine. She had worked really hard to come to this point in her training.

She went through a series of movements with discipline and control. Serena slowly came out of the meditation and sighed. Today was her first day at a new school. She was not looking forward to dealing with all the people. She was not a people person.

Serena took a sip of water and headed inside her house. She just moved in a couple of days ago. Her mother had urged her to make some friends, but having friends is a sign of weakness and she was not weak. Far from it. Not like her father.

She stepped inside her white-walled room to change into the girl uniform. Her room was the definition of simplicity. It only had the necessities. A bed, a dresser, and a mat for her meditations. Other such things are considered weak.

Serena put on the uniform, grabbed her bag and was out the door without a backward glance. She walked to walked to school with an air of ease, grace, and self control. She heard someone laughing and she turned her head. She saw a bunch of boys walking together and one with a braid was laughing his head off. Laughing was a sign of weakness. She just kept on walking.

"Hey Quatre, I heard one of the girls talking yesterday. She said you looked cute." Said Duo. Quatre turned a bright shade of red. "You braided baka. Why don't you just shut up?" yelled Wufei. "You shouldn't talk Wu- man!!" "MAXWELL don't call me Wu-man!" and Wufei started chasing Duo, who started running ahead.

Duo was running so fast that he couldn't stop when he saw that someone was in his way. Seconds later Duo crashed into Serena.

Serena was seeing red but she kept it under control.

Wufei and the others came running up to the piles of limbs just as Serena got up. "Excuse me miss. Are you alright?" asked Quatre. Serena didn't answer she just started walking away. "Now look what you did Maxwell. First you start talking up a storm and now you knock over a weak woman. You're pathetic." Yelled Wufei. "I mean look at that weak woman. She's just walking away." He huffed.

At that last statement Serena came to a complete halt. She turned around and stared straight at Wufei. Quicker that any of them could follow except Heero, she suddenly was standing in front of Wufei. "People who go around accusing other people of being weak are not in tune with themselves and that they are in turn are weak. Especially if the person you accuse is not weak. I, sir, am not weak so what does that say about you?" asked Serena as she turned to leave. Everyone was gapping at her.

Wufei came out of his stupor. "I am not weak. You are the weak one." He yelled. Serena stopped once again and turned to Wufei. Faster than anyone, even Heero, Serena was in front of Wufei again. Then before they could blink Serena had punched Wufei in the eye. Wufei collapsed in the ground.

"You SIR are weaker than I had thought and to tell you the truth I thought you were pretty weak. Good day." She turned and started to walk away. Then Duo was laughing loud. Serena turned around and glared at him. Duo immediately shut up.

Serena walked to school. After she left Duo started giggling. Heero glared at him. "Man that girl's glare is almost like yours Heero." Said Duo. Wufei got up off the ground and eyed Duo evilly. He started to chase Duo all the way to school. The rest just followed silently.

Serena was yelling at herself about self-control. She had lost it. She never did that. She was very upset with herself. But that BOY deserved it, she justified with a nod and walked the rest of the way to her new school.
