She is Me

Chapter 12 ~ A Happy Ending?

Written by Princess Lesse

Trowa kept his eyes on Quatre and Serena's backs, eyeing Quatre carefully yet. He was sure that the other pilots were also having the same inklings of fear creep into their systems. Trowa eyed Heero warily, hoping that he wasn't just itching to get his gun, because Quatre and Serena were close enough. Heero isn't perfect every time. He also saw that Wufei was throwing glares and daggers Heero's way, and he couldn't help but wonder why. He saw Serena run ahead, and Quatre was left standing alone. He watched, as his best and usually only friend, walked off and sat on a bench. Staring at the blonde Arabian, he walked over to him and sat next to him. He looked at his companion, and Quatre answered his silent question.

"No, I won't interfere with your relationship. I know Sere all too well, and she chose you over me. She chose you over Heero. She chose you over Wufei, and she even chose you over Duo, a concept that we all must learn. She is the only woman I'll ever love Trowa, I just hope that you can share her when the time comes. She is my friend, and my best friend at that. She is too innocent for the likes of me, but I guess I could say the same about you."

Trowa blinked and looked at Quatre, his words still echoing in his mind. He looked sincerely sorry for his friend, but he knew that it was his turn to be happy now. He wasn't going to be programmed any longer. He felt Quatre stand up and walk towards where Serena was, and he noticed that Heero had sat down. Trowa stared at him, and Heero answered with a "Hn."

Trowa nodded briefly, and he knew that Heero was grieving somewhat. Maybe about the fact that he lost a girl who seemed to like him, and wasn't a stalker. He turned to look at Wufei, who was grasping his katana tightly and staring all the while at Duo, who was running circles around him, blowing raspberries. Trowa shook his head, and stood up. Standing next to Wufei, he spoke.

"Why so hostile towards Yuy?"

"The bastard, you should have seen what he did to Serena. Making her not even come near us. She was going to her death because of him, and I swore on Nataku that I wouldn't let her do such a dishonorable thing. Damn that Yuy, you should have seen what he said, or you wouldn't have sat by the poor excuse for a soldier."

Wufei kept raving, but Trowa ignored him and decided he'd find out what happened through Serena, as he knew he would get no intelligent answers from either Wufei or Heero. He slightly smiled as Duo started to run around Wufei again, laughing and pointing all the while at Wufei, who was swinging his katana wildly.

Trowa sat back down on the bench, and stared at Heero. He was currently resting, or so it seemed. His head was reclined on the bench, and his hands were placidly by his sides. It almost looked as if Heero had a tranquil expression on his face, giving him an innocent look, only a look that Quatre could muster amongst the five of them. Trowa sat back and thought about the recent events, and how he could have been more a part of them. But as it turned out, everything was focused on Serena. Anything that had something to do with it this year had something to do with Serena. When it was Usagi: Serena. Heero: Serena, which was mainly developed because of Usagi, but it all linked back to Serena. Then there was Quatre and his love for Serena, which drove him to madness. Wufei was Serena's roommate, and Serena was also the first woman that Wufei didn't consider weak. With Duo, she was another happy-go-lucky soul to raid the fridge with and terrorize Wufei. With himself, he wasn't sure. In time, he hoped that he could find out. Of course, Serena seemed to have chosen him over Quatre, which of course made Trowa smile.

Looking back towards Serena, who was swinging at the park, her head back and eyes closed as Quatre sat there and stared at her, talking to her but the meaning of his words having no effect on him or her whatsoever. Trowa blinked and thought, 'How in the hell did I, all of a sudden, begin to read body gestures? Damn that Wufei.'

Trowa noticed that Quatre had stood up and was now walking over towards him. Trowa watched him silently as Wufei stopped thrashing his katana and Duo left him alone to also watch Quatre and give him a Shinigami evil eye. Duo knew that Quatre had no control over his actions, but to the point where he poisoned him anyway still made him wary.

"Trowa, Sere would like to speak to you. Please go to her," Quatre said.

Trowa complied by nodding once and trekked over to the swings. He slightly turned his head to see Wufei and Duo looking at Quatre warily and Heero holding his gun. Walking slowly over to the swings, he stood silently for a moment, watching Serena push herself against the wind, her eyes closed and a grin on her lips. He walked behind her and started to push her. She opened her eyes, and smiled up at him. She frowned slightly at the question in his eyes, but she wouldn't say anything until he would. He stared at her for a few moments more and then he finally voiced what he wanted to say.

"What are you to me? Why me? I mean there is Duo, who's like you. Quatre, your best friend for life and would do anything in the world for you, or Wufei, as scary as that sounds, but I have a feeling that he wouldn't mind someone like you to be beside him. Or even Heero, who already has a stalker, I don't think he would mind someone he himself had to chase after. Why me? What do you see in me? I am nothing but a machine, programmed to do what someone else tells me to do."

Serena looked thoughtful for a moment and looked at Trowa, just staring at him intently for a moment. She smiled up at him and then she spoke as well.

"Right. Why did I pick you? Good question. You see there is a thing that we girls like to call personality. You have none, but neither does Heero. Wufei has too much of a justice personality, and Duo is more like my brother if anything, or too much like me, as you would say. Quatre is my best friend in the whole universe. Then there's you. Silent, yes. Terrible, no. I don't fall in and out of love easily, but you are an exception. I can easily fall in love with you. I'm not going to feed you a bunch of bull and say I fell in love with you at first sight, because then it wouldn't be sorely on love or personality, it would be looks. I would have fallen for you because you are one hell of a gorgeous guy."

Trowa's eyebrows quirked at this statement.

"Yes, get the look off your face, you are gorgeous, no doubt. I would be lying to myself to say that some of my decision wasn't based on looks, because I can honestly say that some of it was. To me, love is a load of bull. Sure, I'm a romantic person, but if you were put through what I was put through it would make your life seem like sunshine. I'm not saying that it is or was, but I was more controlled than you were. Now that I can choose my fate, and my love, I choose someone who is like me, someone I haven't known all my life, therefore making it where fate couldn't choose you simply because you are a good match. Life hands you lemons, throw 'em back and get an apple."

Trowa chuckled and bent down and gave Serena a peck on the cheek. He shook his head, and sat down on the swing beside her and looked at her, just knowing that she might have something else to say.

"Trowa, I like you a lot. You were there for me, and I can tell you now, Usagi, or La Conejita is quickly fading and she is telling me that I made a good choice and you are the best one. She would have chosen Heero, but alas, she isn't here now. She is a part of me, and she wants to say good-bye to you all. She'll be gone in, at the most, an hour. For you Trowa."

Serena stood up and gave Trowa a meaningful kiss on the lips, showing that she wasn't in love yet, but maybe tomorrow she would be. More time would be better and would make her being a lot more comforting. Then they both heard an unwelcoming voice, but then again, it could have been the best choice.

"Woo-hoo! GO TRO-WA! Yeah man! Q will kick your ass now!"

"Stuff it, Duo. Usagi and I didn't become one for nothing!" Serena said.

"Oh no…please don't tell me you won't be sweet anymore. That'll make me feel as if I lost an arm, or Wufei! No, if I lost Wufei, who would I taunt, tease, ridicule?? OH THE HUMANITY!" Duo wailed.

"MAXWELL!"

"Ciao! Gotta go, Wu-man is calling me! Yes, honey-kins?"

"DIE, MAXWELL! DIE!"

"I told you he loved me."

Serena and Trowa looked up, half expecting the sky to fall. Just wondering what they were doing, they saw Heero sauntering towards them. One couldn't even tell he had just been shot in the leg. Trowa eyed him warily, and when Serena looked at him she shook her head, gesturing that she'd tell him later. Heero walked up to Serena, not even acknowledging Trowa, and kissed Serena full on the lips. (This is for all you H/U fans.) Serena responded to the kiss, only because Usagi was still there. Barely. When Heero pulled back, he grinned slightly and stared at Serena one long moment.

"Tell Usagi I said good-bye. I'll miss her, now that she's gone."

Serena nodded mutely. She turned to look at Trowa, who was ready to tear Heero in half. Ah…the twinges of jealousy. She smiled, cuteness and innocence returning to her features ten-fold. She put her arm around Trowa and tilted her head up to him. She smiled and said, "There is nothing for you to be jealous about. It'll always be you and me."

One Week Later

"Yeah, Trowa, I promise I'll be RIGHT back. I'm sure. You can go back to sleep."

Serena got out of bed and walked to the den. Sitting on the couch was Heero, who had the television on the news. It never seemed to fail—he was always there. Serena shook her head; it seemed as if he would never forget Usagi, even though she was gone and wouldn't be back anytime soon. Well, not in this lifetime.

"Hey, Heero."

"Hn."

"You do know it is six o'clock in the morning. What are you doing here?"

"…."

"Right. No mission, eh? So, what is it that you need? Cup of sugar, three little pigs, earplugs? I hear Relena tried stalking you for the final time. She remembered she liked it. Just joking!" Serena said at the look on his face. In fact, Serena and Relena had turned out to be great friends.

"Heero, you need a social life so you can get out of mine and Trowa's. What do you think?"

"Cup of sugar."

"Ha ha. Mr. Funny Man cracked a joke. Hilarious! Now, really, you have to go. Pester Duo—it's the right thing to do. If you don't, I'll take your gun away."

"Omae o korosu. Trowa told me to come by this morning. I came, I'm waiting."

"You could have said that in the first place…" Serena grumbled as she walked back into the bedroom to get Trowa.

The living arrangements had changed, and Wufei once again had his own dorm. Relena was happily running the school, pacifism keeping her sane, believe it or not. Quatre was staying at his mansion, regularly making visits to Serena and Trowa, his two best friends, one of them the love of his life; and he was also housing Duo and Heero. He, being the generous person that he is, got Trowa and Serena an apartment.

When Serena walked into the bedroom, Trowa was already dressed and sitting on the bed. Serena nodded and looked at Trowa questioningly. He looked up, smiled a bit, and beckoned her to sit. She sat and he gave her a kiss on the lips. She smiled beneath the kiss and murmured, "Mr. Sociable is here. He says you told him to come."

Trowa nodded.

"You are going to have to speak before you leave," Serena said.

"I love you."

"Okay, you can go now. I'm just kidding, I love you too. But, you need to extend your vocabulary."

"I can make a dry joke, which will turn out to be dirty, but I'm sure you'd go for it," Trowa said.

"Not now, company's here."

Trowa nodded, stood, and brought Serena with her. They walked into the den, where Heero was still entranced by the television.

"Hey."

"Hn."

"…."

"Dammit! Speak. Words. Language," Serena berated.

"We'll be back at four," Heero said, and they walked out of the door.

Heero and Trowa walked back into the apartment at four, and Serena smiled. She walked up to Trowa and gave him a hug and a kiss. Heero sat down, and Trowa also sat down. Serena smiled and brought them sandwiches. They looked at each other, then at the sandwiches, and eyed Serena cautiously.

"I didn't make them."

They both took a sandwich.

Serena sighed and thought about something that she needed to do. She smiled and figured that it was time. She walked over to the phone and dialed a number that was etched in her brain forever.

"Hello, eh…Rei, hi. Yeah, it's Serena. I miss you too. I know, I'm a Meatball Head. I can't help it. Yeah, Rei. There is someone I would like you to meet, his name is Heero…"
