Chapter 2-First Contact
Sailor
Moon awoke as a civilian. She was in a comfortable bed, with pale blue sheets,
a soft silk pillow and a nice hospital-like blanket. She was in what looked
like a bedroom with a 13" TV, an oak dresser. But something was wrong.
First, she was only wearing her underwear. Second, someone was touching her
exposed chest. Serena was scared, and exclaimed, "What the hell are you
doing, you pervert!?" Right after her near-deafening statement, a soothing
voice said, "I'm sorry that I did touch your bare chest. I also apologize
that I scared you.". Serena was about to scream for help, but chose to
listen to the rest of what this voice was saying. "Please understand, if I
did not take care of you like I did, you could have died." In response to
this, Serena shrieked, "Where am I? Why am I not in a hospital?" The
mysterious person replied, "First off, you should know who I am. My name
is Heero Yuy. Second, I brought you here, to my home. It was closer than the
nearest hospital. Also, you were bleeding too fast. There wasn't enough time
for a hospital. To be honest, I don't trust hospitals, since I've had bad
experiences with them."
Serena,
who was still a bit scared, asked, " Ok then Heero, did you find someone
in a black tuxedo and a red and black cape?". Heero then drew a quick
sketch of him. "Did he look like this?" Heero asked. Serena almost
screamed, "That's him. What happened to him?" Heero chose his words
carefully and said, "He sustained a serious head injury. I'm going to
check on him.". Serena leapt out of the bed, forgetting that she was still
only wearing her underwear. She then crumpled to the floor in pain. Heero
apologized again for seeing her exposed chest, turned around and handed her a
clean pink shirt from the dresser. Serena hurriedly clothed herself, but
started crying because of the pain. Heero then informed her that she should be
more careful, as her legs were still weak from her wounds. "I can see that
you would like to see him, but I don't think you'll be able to walk for at
least a few days." Heero stated "I'll carry you, if that is OK".
Serena was grateful and gladly accepted Heero's offer. He placed Serena back on
the bed and sat in front of her. "I want you to hang onto my shoulders
while I hold your legs." he said. "I appreciate your kindness. Thank
you". Serena stated with gratitude. She then gave Heero a small kiss on
the cheek.
Heero
then thought, "Why am I doing this?
I don't even know who this girl is."
He then picked her up with little effort and proceeded to
the room containing the caped man.
Heero
carried Serena to a room downstairs. During this, Serena apologized "I'm
sorry, I guess I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Serena Tsukino.".
"I see", said a nervous Heero.
They
entered the room where Lucresia Noin was with the caped man. "Tuxedo
Mask!!" Serena exclaimed. "Please be quiet. He is still unconscious."
Noin said. Heero patiently introduced them to each other. "Serena, this is
Lucresia Noin. Miss Noin has been taking care of this man. Noin, this is Serena
Tsukino.". "Pleased to meet you", Serena said. "My friend,
Duo Maxwell brought him back here, since mobile suits can carry a maximum of
two people." Heero monotonously said.
Duo walks
in. "How's that guy-Whoa! Hey Heero, who's the babe?" Duo asks. He
whistles at Serena. Heero responds, "Her name is Serena Tsukino, and
please have a little more respect for her." Duo retorts, "Oh, I get
it. Heero's got a girlfriend!". Heero punches Duo in the stomach.
"Watch it, Maxwell" Heero says angrily. "I'm sorry Serena. I
forgot to introduce him. He is Duo Maxwell.". "Thank you, Duo."
Serena says, "I'm sorry that Heero hit you." "Thanks
Serena", Duo replies, "I'll be OK. Just give a minute.". Duo
recovers from Heero's painful punch and stands up straight. "We were in a
battle around the new colony when Heero just took off. I followed him and we
found the two of you." says Duo.
