Chapter Three: A Timeless Memory?
The girls were all in Minako's room, including Rei who had
come after dinner because of her singing lessons.
Serena lay across Minako's bed staring at the ceiling. She sighed
softly.
"You know Mina-chan..... I feel like tonight I'm gonna meet
him." Serena said in a dreamy voice.
"Him who?" Minako asked as she stood in front of her
mirror putting on eye shadow.
"Him! The one... My destined... My soul mate!" Serena
said getting all starry eyed. "I just know I'll find him to
night!"
Ami laughed. "If you don't fall asleep before then."
Serena blinked.
"You look like you're tired. You should quit staying up so
late reading comics." Ami said, her worry some grown up side
talking.
"Oh zip it Ami-chan! To night we par-tay!" Rei said
with a big grin as she flopped down on the bed next to Serena.
"Minako nodded. "I'm sure Serena-chan will find her
soul mate at the dance. Rei-chan will dance till she drops!
Mako-chan will flirt with every guy at the dace, which will all
look like her old boyfriends. And Ami-chan will stay ever so
sensible." Minako said summing up the entire dance.
Makoto laughed. "That about sums the night up."
Serena closed her eyes. She drifted off into a dreamy world in
her imagination. Dreaming away about the guy who already owned
her heart....

Gohan put on extra deodorant. He wore clean clothes. He combed
his hair (A.N. though it still looked the same as always ^-^) He
even dawned a tie, a cartoon one, but a tie none the less.
He took such care that night, because he had feeling. A very
strange one, one telling him tonight was a special night. The
night he had been waiting for his entire life.

"Not just once" both Serena and Gohan said at the same
time, though neither of them knew the other had said it.

"What?" Minako replied.
Serena rubbed her eyes. "I don't know. It just popped into
my mind. And escaped from my lips before I could even
think."
"This is probably the deepest thing Serena-chan has ever
said." Rei noted.
Ami nodded. "I must agree with Rei-chan on this one."
Serena laughed.
Something about the origin of 'not just once' tugged at the back
of her mind. Or maybe it wasn't her mind. But her heart.
Something from long ago. A timeless memory buried deep in her
soul.
