Heero stared at the school gates as Rele - Serena came out. She looked so different, acted so different too. She had barely registered his or the other guys presence for the whole day.
" Hey Heero what'ca lookin' at?" asked Duo as he hit him on the shoulders.
The other guys were with him, so was Hilde. The guys followed the direction of his gaze while Hilde tugged at Duo's arm trying to get his attention.
" She changed a lot." Commented Quatre.
"…" Trowa just watched her.
" A lot seems right." Wufei put in.
Serena seemed to have spotted them and walked in their direction.
" Get ready for the Heero wail." grumbled Duo.
The guys were a bit startled when Serena turned a bit to the left and walked up to the new students talking to the student teacher. Hero watched as the guy, Haruka, tossed her a bag of something and a key. She talked a little longer then turned around and went back inside the school.

Serena came out of the school. She looked around the yard and saw 4 gundam pilots and a girl walk up to Heero then she saw Hotura and the others. She made her way to her friends.
" Hey guys." she greeted them.
" Hello Serena." Said Hotura.
" Are you guys all packed up?" she asked
"Yea.. But are you sure about this princess? Us moving in with you." Hotura questioned.
Serena nodded. "It's easier to contact each-other this way." She smiled, " Besides it'll seemed less lonely in that strange house."
Hotura nodded, " Our stuff is in the car."
" Good the help is already expecting you." She looked at Haruka, "Did you bring it?"
Haruka tossed her a bag with the change of clothes and then the motorcycle key. "Be careful and where are you going anyways?"
" To the mall. Relena's stuff doesn't exactly fit me."
" Alright. If anything happens contact us through the communicator. And vice-versa."
Serena nodded at Haruka and walked back into the school to change.
I hate this dress!! How did Relena stand it? Thought Serena as she changed.

" Com'on Duo! I need to get some new stuff." Hilde tried to persuade Duo to take her to the mall for shopping.
"Alright." Duo sighed out, " Hey Quatre, mind if we make a stop at the mall?"
" No problem." Quatre answered.
The guys plus Hilde piled into the car. Heero at the last moment decided to take his black motorcycle instead, since the car was a bit crowdie. The guys pulled out of the school parking lot.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Serena came out of the school in a pink long sleeve shirt, with a black no-sleeve mid-thigh length dress over, it that hugged her body softly. She closed her eyes and breathed in the fresh air. When she opened her eyes she noticed she was the only one left at the school. After a moment she made her way to the parking lot.
She unlocked the red motorcycle and put on the helmet. She made sure all of her hair was stuff into the helmet before starting the ignition.
VROOM!!!!
She pulled out of the lot in the same direction the guys had taken off.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Heero and the guys found spaces to park the motorcycle and car. Hilde had gone ahead telling them to hurry, then ran into the mall. They were just about to follow when a red motorcycle came into the lot and parked in the vacant space next to Heero's black one.
It was more so the rider than the bike itself that captured their attention. The female rider in a pink long sleeve shirt and black mid-thigh dress shut off the ignition and got off. She took off her helmet and shook out her long golden hair….
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Serena parked her cycle next to a black one then shook out her hair from her helmet. She had strapped the helmet to the back before she noticed someone or more preciously some people were watching her. She looked up to see the gundam pilots staring at her.
"What?" she asked.
The guys didn't seem to have noticed she had spoken. They just kept staring at her and it was creepy. Also it was getting on her nerves.
"WHAT?!" she asked again, more harsher.
" Wow." Came out of Duo's mouth at the same time Trowa murmured. "Beautiful."
Serena looked from the guys to her motorcycle then back to the guys. "Okay…." Guys and cars {I'll never figure them out.} She thought.
She blinked then stared. Wufei, Trowa and Heero were glaring at Duo, probably over something he said, but what she didn't know. Quatre was unsuccessfully trying to hold down a blush. Serena decided it was best to ignore it and walked past them, into the mall.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Moments later the guys followed.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Serena came out of the mall 2 hours later with 10 shopping bags. She made sure no one was looking, then put all 10bags into her subspace pocket. It was late now, the sun was setting and the sky was a ply of colors. Purple, lavender, pink, blue, yellow it was quite a sight. She got on the motorcycle and gunned on the engine, the guys came out just in time to see her zoom out of the lot, then out of sight.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
She came back to her new home to be greeted by Pegan by the door.
" Miss Serena, your five friends have settled themselves in and are waiting for you in your room."
Five? Serena blinked. " Thank you." She said and dismissed him.
She went up to her room to meet the girls. Her gaze landed on the fifth figure and her eyes widened. She threw herself into the new figure's arms.
" Luna!"
Luna hugged her princess, she was in human form. Long wavy to her knees, 4 buns on top of her head, 2 at each side, deep purple eyes. There was no crescent moon on her forehead. She wore a purple and yellow dress.
" It's nice to se you princess."
" What re you doing here?" Serena asked.
" Well you know about the gundam pilots. WE will help bring about peace like them. Only without the gundams. Setsuna is one of the scientists, known as Dr. S. And we shall be her team."
" Luna, we can't kill." Haruka said fiercely.
" You won't be. " said Setsuna. " Those that 'die' from our hands won't actually die. What will happen to them would be like what happened to Relena."
" What did happen to Relena, Setsuna?" Michiri asked.
Hotura and Serena looked at each other, Hotura nodded to her and Serena started to explain.
" Her soul was in torment. Seeing all this hatred and anger, just because of her it seemed. She was pure (though a bit annoying) but she had damned her herself by herself. If she had died she would have been stuck in limb. I gave her a chance to start over. Her soul was to be reborn and her current psychical body just faded out of existence."
Setsuna nodded, " that is what will happen to those we seemingly 'kill'. Except there bodies won't fade out like Relena's."
" Their souls would be set free and reborn." Luna continued. " Just not on Earth."
"What?" Serena asked.
" They would be reborn on the old kingdoms of the planets and rebuild life there. They shall get it ready for the Sailor Senshi's rebirth and rule." Luna looked at them smiling, " A new Era is to begin. What do you say?"
" I'll do it." Serena said.
" Me too." Hotura agreed with her princess.
Michiri and Haruka nodded in agreement as well.

At the edge of a cliff stood a figure. She looked out over the vast ocean and the setting sun. In her hand a perfect red rose. She could feel four women behind her stay still while the fifth approached her.
She looked at Luna's hand. She clutched a rose as well. But this one was white. Serena blinked looking at it. {That must mean Artemis-} she looked at Luna, Luna nodded.
The two stood at the very edge of the cliff, the ever so slowly released the 2 roses and let them fall gently to the water below.
Everything was finally settled. They could finally move on. Serena looked up at Luna who was gazing softly at her. She turned her gaze from Luna to the other girls. Haruka walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
" Let's go home." Haruka said softly.
Serena nodded and smiled.
