Chapter 10

The scouts and g-boys returned home without Quatre or Mina. Serena still blaming her self, and face still streaming with tears. Heero didn't know why but walking home with Serena made him see her in a new view. She was beautiful no doubt about that, but underneath that whiney exterior was really a strong warrior and Heero found that more appealing. Heero approached Serena and tried to comfort her.

"Serena, It isn't your fault. It is Mina's for being so stupid. " Heero explained to Serena while putting his arm around her shoulder. Serena found this insulting. "So your calling my friend stupid? And saying its her fault for getting taken away?" questioned Serena.

"Yeah." Serena then pushed Heero away and stomped off viciously.

"What did I do?" Heero muttered. Duo hearing this decided to lend Heero some of his so called charm.

"Heero, your problem is she is feeling like shit and you just called her friend stupid." Duo said in a 'Mr. Know' it all fashion.

"Well I didn't know what to say."

"Tell her about how beautiful and radiant she is. Girls love to here that!"

"Hnn" was Heero's reply as he walked away.

Elizabeth, Isabelle, Lauren, Reni, and Ruby decided to practice in the training room since everyone was gone and they would have no interruptions.

"I'll go easy on you this time." Lauren said to Ruby while eating a Twinkie. Ruby watched Lauren eat the Twinkie in total disgust. Crumbs were falling out of her mouth. It was so sick how Lauren just ate with her mouth open. Isabelle saw Ruby observing Lauren in disgust and said, "Lauren, try to chew with your mouth closed. "

"Oh sorry!" Lauren replied with a slight hint of embarrassment in her voice. She then closed her mouth and finished the Twinkie.

"Okay so who is going today?" Elizabeth asked. Lauren's hand shot up in the air without any hesitation. "Okay, so Lauren and…"

"Ruby, wanna fight again?" Lauren belched. This caused Ruby to give Lauren another dirty look and Lauren to blush.

"NO!" Ruby screamed

"Why? You scared I'll kick your ass again?"

"You didn't kick my ass! I let you win!"

"Ha! You just can't accept the fact I'm better than you!" Lauren then stuck out her tongue. Ruby saw this as an opportunity to get back at Lauren. She pulled on Lauren's tongue and wouldn't let go. Lauren tried to push her away and she was screaming and tears started forming in her eyes. Elizabeth, Isabelle and Reni just watched.

"This is pathetic I can't watch these two idiots fight like toddlers." Isabelle announced. Quiet little Isabelle walked over to Loud and Obnoxious Lauren and Ruby and screamed "KNOCK IT OFF!" Ruby let go of Lauren's tongue and everyone stared at Isabelle in shock. No one had ever heard Isabelle raise her voice and be that forceful…EVER!

"Wow, Isabelle that was awesome! I'm so proud of you!" Elizabeth started and hugged Isabelle. " Lauren still needs an opponent" Elizabeth was doodling on her clipboard that she recorded all their practices in.

Reni reluctantly raised her hand, she was in no mood to fight but since no one wanted to she decided to take the bullet. Plus she had to admit she did need practice. "Okay, Reni!" Elizabeth wrote down something on her clipboard and said "Okay lets fight!"

"Jupiter Power!" Lauren said

"Moon Prism Power!" Reni muttered with hesitation.

There stood Sailor Mini Moon and Sailor Mini Jupiter on the arena. Mini Jupiter was clutching her scythe and Mini Moon had her Moon scepter. (Sailor moons old moon scepter from season one with the imperial silver crystal) Isabelle rang the bell and the battle started.

"Pink Sugar Moon Attack!" Mini Moon screamed with force as little pink hearts went toward Mini Jupiter. Mini Jupiter blocked the hearts with her Scythe and yawned, "You expect an attack with the word 'sugar' in it to cause any damage?" Mini Jupiter started, "Here is a new one I've been working on!"

Mini Jupiter pushed her scythe in the ground and said " Lightning Death Rays!" Lightning spread over the whole arena and the power went out. Bolts of lightning started shocking Mini Moon.

Isabelle and Ruby watched in amazement, while Elizabeth tried to write down everything on that clipboard.

"Do you think Mini Moon is okay?" Ruby asked with a worried expression on her face.

"Of course she is. Mini Moon can take on anything. She is just waiting for the right moment." Isabelle replied.

Trowa unlocked the door to the mansion. Everyone was exhausted and decided to just go to bed, except Serena. She was still drowning in regret. So she went into the kitchen and just started eating a carton of ice cream.

"Don't worry Quatre and Mina I'll get you back. Even if it's the last thing I do." Serena said to herself.

"Serena?" asked a familiar voice. Serena turned around to see someone she didn't exactly want to see right now. "What do you want Mr. Perfect Soldier?" Serena replied. Heero took a seat next to Serena and took her spoon right out of her hand. He then scooped up a piece of cookie dough ice cream, and ate it. "Cookie dough, my favorite too." Serena clearly didn't care to talk to anyone right now and just got up and tried to walk away. Heero grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"Heero, let go of me!" Serena said with a sour tone. Heero pulled her closer now he was looking directly into her elegant blue eyes with his Prussian blue colored eyes. He saw so much pain in her eyes. Pain that we wanted to make all better and just go away. Heero then said "You're beautiful." And leaned into kiss Serena. She pushed away and stormed out of the kitchen.

"Damn you Duo! Last time I ever take advice from you." Heero muttered while crossing his arms in aggravation.

-------------------------------------

Mini Moon struggled against the bolts of lightning and finally managed to say "Cosmic Moon Power!" the beam hit Mini Jupiter's Scythe and left her unarmed. Then the power went back on. "Ooh playing dirty now, are we?" Mini Jupiter said with a smile. The look in Mini Moon's eyes was cold and harsh looking. Like she had no emotion. "Mini Moon?" Isabelle asked over the speaker "Are you okay?"

Something was wrong with Mini Moon. She never fought with force or coldness like this and it seemed she was refusing to speak. She then pointed her scepter toward Mini Jupiter. All Mini Jupiter could do was laugh because the Scepter wasn't exactly threatening looking. It was pink and had a crescent moon at the top.

"Okay Mini Moon you can stop acting all 'I'm gonna kill you' on me, okay?" Mini Jupiter said with a chuckle.

"Cosmic Moon Power!" Mini Moon screamed and aimed it toward Mini Jupiter. The look on Mini Jupiter's face was just shock as she went down slowly. Elizabeth, Isabelle and Ruby ran out onto the arena to Mini Jupiter's aid.

"Mini Moon, what came over you?" Isabelle started, "You fought great…but why so much power an aggression on Mini Jupiter?"

"Hnn." Was the way Mini Moon chose to reply. She then turned back into Reni and walked away.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say she is acting like Heero." Ruby said

"Hmm, like father like daughter?" Elizabeth suggested.

Authors note Whoa! Reni acting like her daddy! How sweet and even sweeter Heero actually acting like a human. Hehe! This chapter was fun to write!
