" We will arrive very soon my princess." informed Pluto.
They were in the realms between time-lines; there was mist all around them. Cosmos nodded at her.
" Saturn I shall make you the same age as the princess. It'll be easier to guard her that way in the new world." Pluto turned to Saturn.
" Very well." agreed Saturn as a bright flash of sparkling lavender light enveloped her. Where there was a 13-year-old scout now stood a 16-year-old Saturn.
" Princess, I am going to change your identity to the 16-year old Queen Relena of the Sanq Kingdom for extra protection." Pluto stated.
Cosmos thought about this for a while and slowly nodded, then said, " Alright. But I don't want to look like her, I'll still look the same as I always did."
Pluto opened her mouth to protest but Cosmos cut her off.
" No Pluto. I know what she looks like and what she acts like. I've taken a look into the future for myself. I know about the war, the death of her supposed father and the gundam pilots already. I also know that she is on summer vacation right now and alone. She has had no contact with anyone for the whole summer."
Neptune nodded, getting her point. " If she has not been seen or heard from for the whole summer. No one can know how she changed over the summer."
" Right." Cosmos said happily.
" Alright." Pluto sighed defeated. " I guess it'll work. Since you already know the information you need, you'll be fine then."
Cosmos nodded as she drifted apart from them. She reached her destination.
" Don't worry Koneko! We'll find you soon!!" shouted Uranus before Cosmos disappeared from that realm completely.

Serena opened her eyes to the morning sun's rays. It had been a week since she came her. Once she had arrived she detransformed and came back to the city, due to her new look no one recognized her as Queen Relena. In the week she had successfully changed her name from Relena to Serena and had gotten used to her surroundings.
Today was the first day of school; she got up and put on her uniform. She looked over to the clock. 7 am it read, she was going to be on time early even, school didn't start until 8:30 am. She had become the lady her friends had always wanted her to be. She was smart, refined, and well mannered and she wasn't a klutz anymore. Oh how she wished the scouts were here to see her.
She pushed aside the thoughts; it would do no good to think about it now. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and for the first time since her friends left her, a genuine smile appeared on her face. Her blue eyes twinkled with laughter.
{Wait until the people at school see me! Boy will they be surprised!}

" Hey did you hear? We're getting 3 new students today!" Duo said.
The guys were gathered around Heero's desk, it was the first day back to school from summer vacation. The guys were glad, they had occasional mission during the summer but the rest o the time they were bored. Duo had even gone to find Relena, due to the lack of play buddies. But he had only found out that she was on vacation somewhere alone and wouldn't be back for the whole summer.
Quatre watched a girl with golden hair tied up in 2 balls on top of her head with 2 steamers coming out of it to her knees take Relena's seat next to the guys. She put her stuff away and when she looked up her deep blue eyes saw 5 guys staring at her.
" Something wrong Quatre?" she asked the blonde member of the group.
" Duo I know you?" he asked confused.
{ Here it goes.} She tilted her head a little to the left and said, " It's me guys, Relena."
" RELENA?!?!?!" the guys had shocked expression on their faces. ( Well Heero's eyes just widened a bit.)
" Well Serena now. I change my name."
" Why?" asked Duo bewildered.
She shrugged. " Just felt like something new." she replied.
" You changed a lot Serena." said Quatre trying to get use to the new name.
Wufei was a bout to ask her something when the teacher came in and announced. "Class please take your seats. I would like to introduce some new students."
The class scrambled to be seated and when everyone was quiet the students introduced themselves.
" I'm Haruka." She had on the guy's version of the school uniform (as always) and all the girls (except Serena who giggled with her hand over her mouth.) had hearts in their eyes.
" I'm Michiri."
" And I'm Hotura." There were some whistles at each one of the girls.
The teacher cleared his throat and said, " Haruka and Michiri please take the 2 seats behind miss Relena - no sorry Serena. Hotura please take the seat in front of her."
The class had confused looks and the teacher clarified. " Miss Relena changed her name to Serena over the summer. Miss Serena please stand up so the students know who you are."
Serena stood up and there were a ton of catcalls and whistles from the guys. Heero was scowling, though he didn't know why. Serena ignored the sounds and sat back down.
Haruka gave her a low five under the table as she passed her, Michiri gave her a smile. Hotura turned around in her seat to smile at her. " It's nice to see you again." Hotura said.
Heero saw these exchanges so did Duo, who sat next to Hotura now.
" Hi, I'm Duo. It's nice to meet you." He introduced himself to Hotura.
" Hi, same here." Hotura said as she turned back to the teacher.
Serena had a smile on her face, she was truly happy for the first time in a long time. She turned back to the teacher as well, but before the teacher could start the lesson there was a knock on the door. In stepped a tall lady with long green hair.
" Hi, I'm Setsuna Mieoh. The new student teacher." She said.
{ Well, the gangs all here.} Serena thought happily.
