(Next morning)

Trowa and Catherine were eating breakfast having a lively conversation. If you can call it a conversation. It was basically Catherine going and on about something and anything she could think of and Trowa listening. It's almost ALWAYS a one-sided conversation with Trowa, so you can't really say anything about. Trowa sure doesn't. (Himiko: *snicker* *wink*)
They heard a door open and light footsteps walking toward them Catherine looked up to see the girl that she had brought in. She was wearing a light silver silk nightgown with a bit of a low back and lacy front. It reached to her ankles. It hung from spagatti straps. It was suppose to just hang, but for some reason it hugged her figure gently and it looked extremely good on her.
{Where did she get that?} Catherine wondered. {She didn't bring anything with her and I don't remember giving it to her, not that I own such a thing in the first place.} Catherine frowned in confusion, which caused Trowa to look up from the coffee and paper to ask why she had stopped talking.
Trowa felt someone behind him and looked back down at the paper. It was the girl he knew it. He didn't feel like associating with her. She took a seat at the table. Trowa glimpsed at her from the corner of his eye. He almost gasped. Almost. She was so beautiful, so pure, so innocent. Trowa blinked. {Why would and innocent try to kill herself?} He asked himself.
Catherine placed a plate of pancakes and a cup of orange juice in front of her. Serenity looked at it and her eyes glazed over as she remembered the many time Makoto use to cook it for her. Catherine frowned as she looked at her. {Why isn't she eating? Is she trying to stave herself to death?}
To Catherine it could the case since she stopped her from killing herself last night. Catherine pushed the plate closer to Serenity, telling her to eat. Serenity snapped out of it and to her relief slowly took a bite.
" You could live with us until you get back on your feet." Catherine started. " And after that, well you can decide if you want to stay or not. Now, for looking for a job..." Catherine said pondering.
" She could go work at the circus." Trowa suggested from behind the paper. {I could keep an eye on her more easily.}
Catherine snapped her fingers. " Yeah! We've been wondering what to do for a new show anyways. So, what can you do Sere-chan?"
Serenity's eyes grew cloudy as her mind brought back memories from the Silver Millennium, when her friends and her beloved called her that. {Oh my senshi...Endymion...how I miss you.} She watched as Catherine-san listed ideas off her fingers. She remembered her scouts. Venus and Mars came to mind. They had always wanted to be in the show business.
Trowa watched as his sister list off ideas. From dancers to clowns and everything in-between. He looked at Serenity. Who was looking at Catherine with cloudy eyes, almost as if his sister had said something that was better left alone. But then the eyes cleared and returned back to the sparkling silvery orbs.
" Anything." She said suddenly. {Literally.} Her voice once again stopped all movement.
There was again silence in the room. It unnerved Trowa. (Himiko: hahahahaha!!! And he calls himself the 'Silencer'!!! *rolling on the floor laughing*)
" Great!" Catherine said enthusiastically, who had been thinking along the lines of her little brother. " You can join Trowa in his tightrope act!!"
Trowa who was drinking on his coffee choked. He managed to swallow after a while, with a big, loud gulp.
" Are you alright Trowa?" Catherine asked concerned. His cheeks were a bit red and his eyes were looking as if they were watery.
" I'm fine." He replied in a monotone.
He turned to look at Serenity to see her looking at the window. She got up from her seat and walked toward it. She leaned her forehead on the plane and her fingers slowly raised to touch the glass. She looked down at the lives of those below them. Every she looked, there was life, adults and children alike were running here and there.
" What are you looking at Serenity?" Catherine asked as she looked at the wistful mixed with content face Serenity had on.
" The people."
" What's there to see?" Catherine stood beside her at the window, all she saw was the everyday going on of people's lives.
" The liveliness, the life, the hope," Catherine and Trowa stared intently at Serenity as she voiced her mind. " The love..." Serenity looked at a couple in the streets hugging, " ...and the friendship." Several others joined the couple in the streets exchanging hellos.
Serenity looked into the sky as she flattened her palm on the glass as if wanting to reach out for something. But...she took her hand away from the glass as she looked back down on the people. Her eyes settled on one group of people specially. A group of 5 14-year-old girls were chatting away happily sitting on a bench and eating ice cream cones. A faint smile came to her lips as one of the girls dropped her cone and started to cry.
" How I wish I could be a part of that again..." she whispered.
Trowa and Catherine looked at her confused as her glazed eyes landed on a group of 10 year olds playing hopscotch in a park.
" The children, so naive, so innocent. Leading normal lives, with friends by their side" Serenity's voice was almost heart breaking " I wish I had a chance at that again."
" What do you mean you can't lead a normal life Serenity?!" Catherine demanded to know, " and who says you don't have that chance?!"
" Things are not always what we see. A normal life is no longer an option. I have duties I must carry for the safety of the people."
" The police can do that! Live your own life Sere-chan!" Serenity winced at the name.
" Is something wrong?" Trowa asked seeing the wince.
" No." a soft reply. " I'll think about the tight rope act, but is there anything else that I can do?"
" We'll go to the circus and see." Catherine said. " Get dressed now."
Catherine was about to offer her a change of clothes, but when she blinked, Serenity wasn't three anymore. They heard some sounds from the guest room, which indicated that Serenity was in there.
" That girl is fast as the wind, I didn't even she her move." Catherine remarked.
{Me neither.} Trowa agreed in his mind, his eyes drifted to the guest room door. Wondering how a normal human being could have done that.

Inside the guest room Serenity looked at herself from the mirror. Her silver nightgown rustled in the wind, but the window was closed. Serenity stared unblinkingly at her reflection with her silvery orbs that showed so much emotion. Right now though, you could see that pain and remorse clearly on top of the others.
{Minna-chan...why does it have to be this way, we saw the future, didn't we?} Serenity choked back on a sob as she remembered what Setsuna has said. {'The future is not set in stone.' Pluto had told us so many times, yet we hadn't believed her at the time. Why, why did you have to be right Pluto? Why did things have to turn out this way?}
Two crystal clear tears slowly ran down her face, her neck, and then it was absorbed into the nightgown. There was a slivery flash then, there stood Serenity with a silvery tank top, light blue jeans, running shoes and white socks. She wiped her face with the back of her hand to dry the water trial the tears had left on her cheeks. After that she took one look at herself and walked out of the door.

She stepped out the guest room door to see Trowa and Catherine waiting for her. Trowa wore a green shirt and black pants, he had a jacket slung over his shoulder. Catherine wore a white t-shirt and red skirt. Catherine once again wondered how she got her change of clothes while Trowa assumed Catherine had given it to her. Serenity nodded and they were off to the circus.

Serenity held up a white suit in front of her. It covered more or less as her scout uniform. The body part was that of Catherine's, only in white-silver. She had gloves that went with it and on the bottom end of the body part, where it ended off like a bathing suit; a double layer silk skirt was attached. It went to a little bit past her knees and there was a slit in front all the way up to the body suit...it (the skirt) was also...see-through. On the ground laid a pair of white high-heeled shoes. So the suit covered less then a one-piece swimsuit, but more than a bikini. Not by much though. (For those that watch Pokemon and saw the episode when Charmander evolved into Charmeloen, this outfit is like the one that Misty wears when she was helping the magician on his show.)
Trowa had gone to get ready to practice for the show and the manager had just given her, her outfit she was suppose to wear. She had gotten her own trailer and was currently in it.
She turned to the manager, "I'm suppose to wear this and jump around on a tight rope?"
The manager nodded. " If it doesn't fit, go to the costume designer, she'll make it a bit smaller or bigger if you need it to." He said that then left.
Serenity's eyebrow twitched before she closed her trailer's door and changed for practice.
