Chapter 14-Serena Tells The
Girls
Serena
and the girls go to her room. "Serena, where have you been?" asks an
annoyed Raye. "We all want to know." says Mina. "Well,"
starts Serena, "It's a long story that goes like this:".
"It
started with Tuxedo Mask and I trying to fight a super-powered giant Youma. We
were getting the crap knocked out of us. Tuxedo Mask was hit square in the head
and went unconscious. I was bleeding badly, but lingered long enough to see a
mobile suit defeat the Youma with one slice. I'm not sure, but it looked
somewhat like a Gundam." The girls gasp. "A Gundam???" they ask.
Serena continued ,"Then I passed out.".
"I woke
up here as a civilian, wearing only my underwear. Heero was treating my wounds
inflicted on my chest and legs. I screamed at him, but he comforted me with his
kind voice. He identified himself and quickly apologized for his actions. He
then carried me to see Tuxedo Mask. He was still unconscious. I met Zechs
Marquise and Lucresia Noin there. They were treating Tuxedo Mask. Afterwards, I
met Duo, the person who saved Tuxedo Mask." continues Serena.
"Heero
punched Duo in the stomach for not having as much respect as he should have.
Slightly later, Duo took us to meet Quatre, Trowa and Wufei at the arcade.
Heero had to carry me the entire time. When it was time to come back here, all
of us piled into Quatre's limo, except for Wufei. Wufei didn't even want to
look at me. He drove Duo's car back. When we got back, Heero carried me to
dinner. We had Fettuccini Alfredo.". Lita blurts out ,"I'd like to
learn how to make that. Italian food is very romantic.".
Serena
continues ," Heero helped me out with every aspect of dinner, like a true
gentlemen. During dinner, Quatre brought up the new colony, dedicated to Treize
Khushrenada. Wufei broke down and ran to the bathroom. While he cleaned himself
up, Trowa asked me to drop the subject, explaining Treize's death at the hands
of Wufei. Wufei returned to a new subject. It was video games. At the arcade,
Quatre and Trowa were playing a game with two plumbers. I talked about the
Sailor V game. After dinner, Heero carried me up to my room, this room. We
talked and played video games until 1:30AM. Heero then stayed with me for the
entire night."
Raye was
about to interrupt, but Serena caught her. "And for your information Raye,
He was there to take care of me, not to try something *funny*. Around 4AM, I
was having a nightmare. Heero woke me up with a kiss. Mina interrupted
,"What about you and Darien?" Serena replied ,"I'll get to that later.".
"The
next morning, Heero got up early to make breakfast. For everyone, he made Bacon
, Eggs and Toast. For me, Heero prepared pancakes and bacon with extra vitamins
and minerals. Since I couldn't walk, He served it to me in bed. "How
sweet." Amy says.
"After
that, we checked on Tuxedo Mask. Noin says he would be conscious by the end of
the day. After that, Noin finds a wheelchair for me and takes me back to my
room. I found a few new games, including Sailor V. During the way back, I heard
Heero and Zechs say something about Tuxedo Mask.
Heero
disappears to the garage and talks to Trowa about Tuxedo Mask. Tuxedo Mask caused the collapse of the Moon
Kingdom." Serena states. The girls are speechless. "He was a spy for
Beryl. Heero's past self was my bodyguard. His friends guarded all of you.
Heero found out that Darien only wanted me for my body and ended up dying to
protect me at 1:35AM on Sunday, January 23, 999AD when Queen Beryl attacked.
Since Beryl survived, she formed OZ from her minions. Today's OZ are their
descendents."
Heero
returned to my room with lunch. He scraped his knees on the last three steps
trying to keep the food intact. During the bedside lunch, I saw his knees and
offered to help. I tried to walk, but fell to the floor. He quickly put me back
in bed and got some rubbing alcohol for his injuries. I doctored his knees. He
treated my chest wound with great care. Duo accidentally walked in on us. I
screamed and threw a pillow at him. After he shut the door, he yelled
,"Dammit! I just made the biggest ass out of myself.". Everybody
laughs.
But then, Heero asked me to do something that our parents
told us not to do.".
"What.
What?" they asked. "Serena started again ,"Heero asked me to
take off my underwear. I called him a sexist pig and slapped him. He explained
that he was only going to treat my wounds. Knowing that this decision would
take some time, he left and went outside. I called Miss Noin and told her about
my dilemma. She suggested that I trust him .She said ,"If Heero says he
won't touch your private area, he won't. After 15 minutes, I called Heero back
up to finish it. To prevent someone like Duo walking in like before, he had
Zechs guard the door. Heero locked the door after he closed it. He also made
two other precautions: He wore latex gloves and asked me to cover myself up.
During this, he was very respectful of me and worked fast to minimize the time
I was exposed and the pain. When he finished, he handed me a new pair of
underwear, and walked out of the room. He came back in after I was dressed. I
apologized to him for slapping him, and he did the same for not being as nice
as he could have been.
After
that fiasco, Quatre modified a pair of shorts for me. Heero took me out,
"borrowing" Trowa's red Nissan. First, we went for some ice cream and then
he bought me some new clothes. Three complete outfits, this blue dress, a pink
blouse with slim jeans and a yellow flowered t-shirt with a blue skirt. This
cost him about $130 at a store called "The Gap." Remembering that I
had nothing on under the clothes he gave me, except for underwear, we went to
another store called "Victoria's Secret". His sense of color was very
pleasing. We chose three lingerie sets, a baby blue one, a pink one, and a red
one. The last item he bought there was a yellow bikini for me. At Victoria's
Secret, Heero spent around $80. During the trip back, Heero drove 70MPH. We got
back in 10 minutes. Plus, we were never pulled over."
"Dinner
had a Japanese theme. It was Champon Noodles with fresh Sashimi. After dinner,
Duo came up to us and apologized for walking in on us. Around 11PM, Heero told
me the truth about how the Silver Millennium ended. After hearing that it was
Darien, I was enraged and saddened. Heero suggested that we get some sleep."
"The next
morning, Heero got up early to work on his motorcycle and to take it out for a
test ride. I got up and had breakfast. When he got back, he suggested that we
go for a swim. He had to reteach me how to swim. He was very patient with me.
Soon, a game of Aquatic Volleyball came. Him, Duo and I were against Wufei,
Trowa and Quatre. They won the first game. During the second game, Trowa hit
Duo in the head with the ball. We laughed at him for not paying attention. Just
for fun, Duo snuck up behind me and dunked me. He burst out laughing when my
top floated away and sank to the bottom of the pool. Heero dove after it and
came up 15 seconds later with it. With my top refastened, we finished and won
the game. After we got out of the pool, I couldn't undo my top. Heero came in
and helped me. Respectful as always, he got his clothes and left to change."
"For lunch, Heero & I went on
his motorcycle to a Fast Food restaurant called "Wendy's" We ordered
chicken nuggets and Coke for everyone. When we got back, we called my parents
and told them that I took the wrong bus and Heero helped me when he saw I was
crying. My dad was furious. To get him to cool off and make it more believable,
Heero said some guy named Darien tried to rape me. After we called home, we
sent Amy an e-mail from my new e-mail account."
"During
the four-day wait for you guys to get together and come here, Heero, myself and
the others went on a picnic, taught me how to use a computer, gave me lessons
about the internet and studied." Raye commented ,"Serena, are you
feeling all right? You studying doesn't seem right." Serena retorted
,"Heero helped me with the hard subjects like History and Algebra just
enough for me to succeed. He made studying fun. He also treated my wounds with
the same respect as last time. Basically, the last week had its high points and
its low points. Overall, I had a good time."
"I know that I'm speaking for all of us." Raye said "We're glad that Heero Yuy found you and nursed you back to health.". "Thanks, Raye. You're all true friends." Serena said happily.
