Chapter 3 *********************

Detention

*********************
After school Heero was headed to detention hall. He saw Serena in there sketching, again. He shook his head. As if she sensed his movement she looked up and nodded in acknowledgement. He walked over and sat down next to her.

"So, ummm.. what are you drawing?" he asked. Serena looked up at him. She hesitated then showed it to him. Heero was surprised he even showed it and that's saying something for the 'perfect solider.' It was a sketch of Wing Gundam. His gundam.

"Where did you see it?" He looked at her. "Oh. well." She suddenly got quiet. Heero sat silently, waiting. He didn't want to push her. "I saw it in person once." His eyebrows rose. "It was during the war. My little brother was over my best friend's house playing with her little sister. I was coming to get him when a Leo came out of nowhere and was hitting every house. including my friend's house. My friend was inside and the kids were outside. The little girl ran inside to get her sister and my brother was going to go in too. But Wing Gundam came along and stopped him. Thank goodness because the house blew up. That's when I decided I would never have another friend. It causes too much pain to lose them. I always wanted to thank the pilot but never got the chance. He saved my baby brother's life. I don't know what I would do without him. I owe a lot to that pilot. I wish I could meet him. Just for a minute so I could tell him thank you." She sniffed and the bell rang for the end of detention.

Serena got up and gathered her stuff and left. Heero looked after her. You already have, he thought.

The boys were waiting by the door. She breezed past them and walked home. Heero walked out of the room. He remembered that day. After he returned the boy to the girl he turned to leave but on impulse turned back around and saw the girl holding the young boy, crying. That was Serena? He sighed and walked home with the others behind him.

"Hey, Heero wasn't that the chick from this morning?" Duo asked. "Yeah. She had detention remember?" "Shoot Heero, I forgot nearly everything, like how to talk, when you were pointing that gun at me."

Heero just sighed and kept walking. ******************

Well that's it for this chapter. It seems as if maybe she's getting close to Heero, but is she going to end up with him? Hmmmm.. R&R.
