Chapter 9-Serena's First Day
Out
It is
about 5:00PM when Heero finishes treating Serena's wounds.. "I accept your
apology, Serena." Heero says "Now I'm going to make up for my
mistake.". "You're sweet, Heero." Serena says smiling. "How
about some ice cream?" Heero asks, smiling back. "You knew exactly
what I was thinking." Serena says "I'd be delighted to go with you for ice
cream.". Heero asks ," Do you think you can walk?". I don't
know. I'll try", says a confident Serena. She stumbles a little, but Heero
catches her. "I think you can walk, but with a little help." he says
with pride. "Before we go, I think you should put on a pair of
shorts." Heero says. "Yeah, I don't want everybody to see my
underwear." Serena says, laughing. "Here's a pair of mine that Quatre
modified to fit you. While we're out, we should get some clothes for you.
Serena
clings to Heero while they make their way to Quatre's office to tell him where
they are going. Quatre suggest taking Trowa's red Nissan. Serena is getting
tired after using most of her strength to walk to Quatre's office. So, Heero
carries her out to the garage. Heero drives slowly, since Serena is still a
little light-headed from the long walk. When they get to the ice cream parlor,
Heero says," Order anything you want." They each order a medium
chocolate ice cream cone. He pays for both of them and helps Serena to a seat.
They talked about the Sailor V game for nearly the entire time. To Serena's
surprise, Heero found some interesting tricks on the Internet. During this
conversation, Serena mentions her friend Amy Mizuno. Heero jokes about playing
matchmaker and setting her up with Trowa. Serena gets a good laugh out of it.
They talk about setting up Raye, Lita and Mina with Wufei, Duo and Quatre.
"Quatre and Mina-that sounds just right." Serena says. "Maybe
Raye could teach Wufei something about manners." says Heero. "Duo and
Lita", Serena says. "Duo could learn how to cook." they both
say, laughing.
After
they finished their ice cream, Heero suggests that they go shopping for some
new clothes for Serena. They walk into a nice clothes store called "The
Gap". Serena sees a pretty pale pink blouse next to a slim pair of jeans.
The problem is that they are on the top shelf. Heero jumps up and grabs both at
once. "Why thank you, kind sir." she says with a smile. After he
gives her the jeans and shirt, he walks over to an elegant blue dress, thinking
,"Serena would look awesome in
this.". Undoubtedly, he picks it up and walks back to Serena. Serena
takes all three articles into the fitting room. First, she comes out wearing
the pink blouse and jeans. She asks Heero ,"What do you think?".
Heero's response is ,"Not too shabby.". Serena looks very good with a
new-age cuteness. Then, she goes back in to change into the blue dress. When
she comes out, Heero is speechless. The only words that he could manage to say
was ,"You look incredible.". Serena knew he would like what he saw.
She liked both outfits, but Heero determined that she needed at least three.
Their third choice turned out to be a yellow T-shirt with a flower embroidered
on it and a pretty blue skirt. The total for all five items was $122.95. With a
tax rate of 6.75%, it turned into $131.25. Heero was glad the he planned ahead
and received about $500 from Quatre for various items. Serena was grateful for
Heero's generosity. Very few people would spend that much on a girl that they
just met a couple days ago.
Next, after outer clothes, Serena needed some lingerie. For this, they went to a store called Victoria's Secret. Serena turned out measuring 34 for chest, 30 in waist and 36 for her hips. Taking this into account, Heero found some "aesthetically pleasing" items that Serena liked. They were a pink bra with lace edging, with matching panty, a triangular-shaped red bra and matching panty and a baby blue bra/panty set. Serena was very pleased with Heero's sense of color. Last, they chose a bikini for Serena. It was a perfectly sized yellow one with a triangular top that accentuated her curvy figure quite well. In Victoria's Secret, Heero spent $74.96, totaling $80.02. By the end of the shopping trip, Serena was feeling much better. She could now walk on her own, but not carrying much. Heero had this in mind, so he gladly carried her new clothes to the car. When they got to the car, Heero looked at his watch. "9:00PM. We better get back to the Winner mansion." he said. Heero was ready to move like the wind. "Buckle up. You'll need to." he instructed. In order to save time, Heero drove 70 Miles Per Hour. The police were afraid to chase him, since Trowa's license plate read "Heavyarms".
