My Heart Will Go On
Chapter five: True Friends
Duo stretched as he got off his shuttle and saw Hilde running towards him, she through her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Hey babe, if I knew this was coming I would have stayed away longer." He smirked as she playfully slapped his arm. She turned to see the rest of the boys coming out of the ship she ran to Heero and kissed him on the cheek,
"Hello Hilde." He said putting one arm around her waist as he hugged her back.
"Relena says that's she sorry she couldn't make it but that she see you at home tonight." She said winking at him then running to the other boys. She stopped when she noticed three other coming out of the ship, she bounced over to them,
"Hi my name is Hilde, what's yours?"
"Gene. Gene Starwind."
"Jim Hawking."
"Jennet Star and that's Ashia."
"And I'm Melfina." She said giving her a little bow.
"I hope they didn't give you a hard time, especially the one with the braid." Hilde said examining them.
"No. They were all perfect gentlemen." Jennet said.
"That's good. O my god! What happened to you." Hilde said grabbing Jennet's arm and pulling her towards her. Hilde examined her worn clothes. "We so need to take you shopping. Girls come here!" Catharine and Sally came running towards Hilde.
"What up?" Catharine asked.
"Look at her, the poor thing, girls we have to do something about this." The three started fussing over Jennet while she just stood there stunned.
"STOP!" the three girls looked up to see Relena standing in the door way. She slowly walked over to them going to Heero first where she placed a gentle kiss on his lips and gave him a hug, the turning towards her friends she spoke.
"Will you three calm down look you scared the poor girl." She walked over to Jennet, "My name is Relena, you must forgive my friends its not often that we have visitors. Heero tells me that you will be staying with us for a while." Jennet nodded. "Well then all of you will have to attend my winter ball next week, and I will not take no for an answer." Jennet just stood there for once in her life she didn't know what to say, she felt Jim's gentle hand find its way to the small of her back, she leaned back on his comforting.
"We would be honored, Miss Relena." Taking Jennet's arm she began to lead her out of the room,
"Please just call me Relena, now what are we going to get you to wear, hmm…"
"Green has always been a good color on me."
"Then you would look like a Christmas tree." Hilde said. The five girls laughed as they walked out of the room.
"Well it seems that they are getting along well. Duo said shaking his head. Heero turned towards them,
"You will be staying with us, we aren't putting you under custody, so please grab your things and follow me." They did as he said Jim picked up Jennet things.
"Why do I have a really bad feeling about this?" Jim whispered as they followed behind Heero and the others.

"You have such beautiful hair." Catharine complemented as she brushed Jennet's hair. "I wish my hair would be as nice."
"O put you have beautiful hair Cathy." Jennet said turning around and looking at her. "You just have to learn different ways of styling it."
"Did you guys hear?" Hilde said jumping on the bed in Relena's room with a magazine.
"No what?" Relena asked from her closet where she was looking for something to where to dinner that night.
"Duo says that Quatre has the hots for Jennet."
"No way!" Sally said, "Last I heard he liked Dorothy."
"That is soo yesterdays news." Catharine said, "That died when she ran off with one of the guys from OZ. plus he meet Miidi, you know the really cute blond that's going out with Trowa."
"Really?" Relena asked, "Last I heard he had it out for you, Catharine." Catharine blushed,
"He did not."
"Did so, he told me himself. What do you guys think about this dress?" she held up a short light purple dress with no sleeves.
"Its beautiful." Jennet said, "It'll look great on you."
"Careful you might put Heero to an early grave, with that." Hilde said flipping another page.
"You're going out with Heero tonight?" Jennet said turning around. Relena blushed,
"So you think he's going to pop the question any time soon?" Hilde said.
"Hilde shut up."
"O come on tell, how long have you been going out."
"Only two years." Sally said.
"Guys."
"You are so lucky." Jennet said, the girls stopped talking,
"What?"
"You guys have been going out for two years-"
"And he still hasn't popped the question, he doesn't have the guts." Sally said.
"No. He just wants to make sure that he will always love you Relena, he wants to make sure that you're the one."
"Wow I never thought about it that way." Relena said.
"Now come over hear and let me do your hair." Jennet said, "There is this hair style that I have been dying to try out." All the girls giggled as they watched as Jennet do Relena's hair.
**
"Thanks for coming Gene, I really need to talk to you about this." Gene took the seat across from Heero.
"What did you want to talk about Preventers Yuy."
"I wanna know where you're from. I know your not of this area, especially that cat thing." Gene looked away.
"Your right. We come from another area. But…"
"But what?"
"You're wrong…Jennet and I are part of this place. We were both born here and are parents were tricked into leaving, we by mistake got sucked into a black hole where we were taken to another solar system."
"So what are you doing back here."
"A man sent us. He told us to come here and that some people would be waiting for us."
"Of course. Dr. J." Heero whispered to himself stroking his chin. "Did he say anything else?"
"Yes. Something about updating."
"Of course he wants you guys to help us."
"Help you do what." A knock on the door ended their conversation,
"I will explain another time Gene, but this conversation has been very informing." He shook hands with Gene as the door opened to reveal Relena. The two just stood there staring. Relena giggled,
"Well how do I look?" she asked twirling.
"Beautiful as always." Heero said taking her into his arms. "Shall we go?"
"Alright."
"Wait. Miss Relena?"
"Yes?" Relena looked at Gene.
"Do you know were my sister is?"
"Jennet?" she asked, "Yes she's still in my room with the girls, the boys decided to take them out to dinner. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if the rest of you joined them."
"Thank you." Gene bowed and left the room.
"Now lets go." Heero said placing his hand on the small of her back, "The sooner we leave the sooner we can come back and have some dessert." He said squeezing her butt.
"Heero!" she giggled slapping his arm, "Stop it."
"Stop what?"
"Heero." she giggled as they climbed into the car.
**
"Jennet?" Gene called nearing Relena's room and heard a lot of giggling coming out of it.
"I still say your brothers hot, Jen." A voice said from inside.
"Sorry he's already taken by Melfina."
"Who?"
"She's in charge of…um…making the ship run."
"That little quiet thing."
"Yeah."
"He could do so much better."
"Sally!"
"He could." All the girls giggled.
"Jennet?" Gene called.
"Come in." Gene slowly entered the room to see all the girls in a circle on the floor some of them looking at magazines.
"Miss Relena said that you guys are going out to dinner. Is this true?" he asked leaning against the doorframe and sending a wink in Sally's direction causing her to blush.
"Yes we are. Wanna come?"
"No, but I bet Jim will."
"Where is he anyway?"
"He's off with Preventers Maxwell somewhere."
"O. Then he will probably ask him to come too."
"Right. Then I'll see you later come and check in when you get back."
"Where are you gonna be?"
"Somewhere with Mel."
"Okay."
"C ya." Gene closed the door behind him.
"What is he your father?" Cathy asked leaning towards her.
"Nope just a very over protective brother."
"I still say he's hot." Sally said under her breath.
"Sally!" all of them yelled erupting into giggles.
**
"You see this is the best place to spy on the girls." Duo said from the tree where he was looking into Relena's room. Watching as the girls giggled and traded gossip.
"Don't you think this is an invasion of privacy?" Jim asked from next to him.
"Of course not its not like we are watching them change." He thought about it, "Not that it would be a bad idea of course."
"Maxwell!" Jim said staring at him.
"Just kidding."
"Sure."
"Hey the guys and I are taking the girls out to dinner wanna come?"
"Will Jennet be there?" he asked, Duo looked back at the room and gave a soft chuckle,
"I'd say that there will be a good chance of her being there."
"Then I'll come." Jim said looking back at the room to see Jennet talking to someone. He followed her gaze to see Gene talking to them.
"Darn it. Its seems like your friend found the girls room."
"Do you have no honor Maxwell?" came a yell from the ground. They looked down to see Wufia looking up at them scowling.
He wanna come and watch with us Wu-man? Sally's in there."
"And partake in this injustice? Never! I came to tell you we are leaving for dinner soon so go get cleaned up.
"Alright." The two boys climbed out of the tree and headed into the house.
**
"Where should we eat?" Duo asked as the group walked around down town.
"Wow." Jennet whispered as she looked around every where taking every thing in with her eyes.
"Its beautiful isn't it?" Quatre asked walking next to her.
"Yea." She breathed, "I always dreamt about coming back to earth ever since I left."
"Left?"
"When I was really little." She said looking at a bunch of flowers leaning over she smelled them. "Beautiful."
"I think we have found the perfect place to eat." Duo called. The group walked up behind him,
"Oh no. No way!" Hilde said.
"She's right Duo. Some of us have a strange fascination with living." Trowa added.
"O come on where's your sense of adventure. He won't do anything he's with Relena."
"I'm going to have to side with them on this one Duo. I don't know Heero very well but I would get pretty pissed if someone mess up my date."
"O come on guys."
"Heero?" Jim asked Jennet.
"Preventers Yuy." She said pointing towards the couple inside the restaurant.
"So your using there first names now?" he asked glaring at her.
"Jim now is not the time to talk about this." She said glancing at their new friends who seemed to be in their only little world at the moment.
"And when would be a good time to talk about it Jennet? Hmm? Can you tell me that?"
"Look Jim they are out friends and they are just being nice so I don't see why we can't-"
"These people aren't our friends, all they want is for us to make their ships and equipment as powerful as it can possible be. And then when there done they will drop us out is space like yesterdays paper." By now the group had stopped talking and was looking at Jim and Jennet.
"You don't know what your talking about, Jim." Jennet said turning away from him to hide the tears coming to her eyes. Jim grabbed her arm and whirled her around to look at him.
"Don't turn your back on me Jennet, I may be the only friend you have."
"Jim stop it."
"Don't tell me to stop I know-"
"Now you listen to me." Jennet said jabbing a finger into his chest while tears ran down her face. "These people are the nicest people that I have ever met and they wouldn't hurt me intentionally."
"That's not saying much considering who your former companions were pirates, after them anyone would do." Jim wished the second after he said it he hadn't. "Jennet I-"
"How could you." She whispered and ran in the other direction. Jim ran his hand through his hair and turned to the others. They all glared at him. Quatre walked past Jim and slowly headed after Jennet calling her name out.
"So much for dinner. We better go find Jennet and go home. Heero will kill us if he finds out." Duo said. Jim stuffed his hands in his pockets and headed out after them to find Jennet.
**
Jennet could hear Quatre calling her name but she didn't want him to find her.
"Why would he even want to even look at me now." She whispered, pain wrenched through her heart just thinking about it. Jennet ran faster, suddenly she collided with another person falling backwards. She looked at them man who gave her a grin, Jennet let out an ear shattering scream.
**
Hearing her scream Quatre quicken his pace. Seconds latter Jim passed him.
Jennet?" he screamed. Quatre took a quick turn and almost tripped over Jennet.
"Jennet?" he looked at her shaking form. "Are you alright." He held her close to his body. "Guys I found her." He yelled. Seconds latter the entire group was around them.
"Jennet?" Jim asked kneeling next to her.
"Jim!" she launched herself into his arms as held her close to his body.
"Shh. Calm down everything is going to be okay baby. Just calm down."
"Jim you don't understand." Grabbing the front of his shirt. "I saw him he's alive and here!"
"Jennet who are talking about." Jim looked into her eyes and saw genuine fear in them.
"Marvin." The others exchanged glances, 'Marvin?' the mouthed.
"Marvin!" Jim nearly dropped Jennet. "Are you sure!?" he asked, all Jennet could do was nod her head. "We have to get her out of here, NOW!' Jim yelled.
**
Back at the house all Jim could do was think about Jennet. "How could I let this happen." He asked himself again, looking at Jennet's sleeping form in the bed. A soft knock on the door startled Jim from his thoughts. He quickly went to the door and opened it to see Quatre standing there. Hesitantly he opened the door and glared. "What do you want?" Quatre smiled,
"Some company and I thought you could use some coffee. Mind if I join you?"
"Sure." Jim opened the door and Quatre came in handing him some coffee. "Thanks."
"Your Welcome." Quatre sat down on one of the empty chairs and looked at Jennet's sleeping form. "You mind telling me who this Marvin guy is?" he asked taking another sip of his coffee. Jim ran his hand through his hair and took a sip of his own coffee.
"I shouldn't. Its more of Jennet's past and she's mad at me enough as it is." Jim said looking at Jennet. Quatre noted how Jim's face seemed to soften as he looked at her.
"Can I ask you something?" Quatre asked, Jim nodded his head, "What's your whole relationship with Jennet?" Quatre watched, as Jim's face became kinda dreamy.
"We are currently sort of in a relationship, but it's hard watching her. I know that at any moment some guy can come and take her away forever. And I love her enough to fight for her, but at what expense you know. I've seen the way she looks at you Preventers she tries hard not to but she does. I know she loves me, but I don't know if hers is the same as mine. I've also seen the way you've looked at her Winner. I've seen it, so have many others."
"Its hard not to." Quatre said blushing. "She's a rare gem that's for sure."
"That she is. Sometimes I wonder why she's with me? Sometimes I wonder…"
"If she's really human, she seems to much of an angel to be human." Quatre finished sipping his coffee.
"You feel the same way I do." Jim said startled.
"Maybe." Quatre said looking at him. "Jim listen to me, Jennet thinks that she is unclean and unworthy of any mans love. You have to show her that that's not true that any one can love her if she just loves them in return."
"How do you know all this?" Jim asked watching as Quatre got up and headed towards the door, just as he stopped in front of the door he opened it and turned to look at Jim,
"We aren't so different, Jim. Just remember that." He smiled at Jim, "Good night."
"Goodnight." Jim said and watched the door close behind him. "Maybe you were right Jennet, maybe they are our true friends."
