Serena woke up in a soft bed. "What happened? Where am I? The last thing
I remember is meeting Duo on a mission and…" She touched her chest and felt
for her cross. 'Okay, this is a good thing. I think...' Then it dawned on
her that she didn't have her guns. Her eyes widened as she looked at her
surroundings. That's when she noticed Duo. He was on the desk, sleeping.
"Aww how cute." She poked Duo in the stomach and said quietly, "Duo, wake
up." She got no response. Then she said loudly, but not yelling, "Duo,
wake up." Still no response. She sighed and said, "I forgot how hard it
is to wake him up…" 'I just hope no one hears me.' "Well, here goes
nothing," She took a deep breath and as loud as she could, shouted, "DUO,
WAKE UP!!!!" She saw Duo stir, but not wake up. 'God, in the name of all
that is good, help me!' She sat down on the bed for a moment, trying to
think of what she could do to wake him up. Suddenly she got an idea. She
looked at the clock and it said that it was eight pm. Serena leaned down
and whispered something into Duo's ear.
Suddenly, Duo popped up and said "FOOD!!!"
Then Duo heard laughing and looked around the room. He found Serena on the floor holding her stomach and laughing like crazy.
"Serena?" Duo asked.
Serena looked up at him from her place on the floor and tried to get up but couldn't. Then she said "Yeah. Hi. Duo, could you um help me up?"
At this he laughed and extended his hand out to help her up.
"Thanks." She said dusting herself off. "So Duo, tell me. How have you been for last ten years?"
"I've been okay. I've gone here and there. What about you?"
"I've been fine. But I'd rather not talk about my past." Serena said in a quiet voice.
"Fine with me."
"So Duo, tell me. Where am I?" Serena asked.
"You're in one of Q-man's many mansions."
"'Q-man?'"
"Quatre."
"Quatre? As in Quatre Rebarba Winner?" Serena asked in an eager voice.
"Yep." Replied Duo.
"Can I see him?"
"Sure. But why?"
"Um no reason" Serena replied. 'I can't believe it. He's actually here. This day keeps on getting weirder and weirder by the minute.'
"Serena?" Duo's brought her from her thoughts.
She blinked and answered with a "huh?"
"I said, if you wanna see Q-man we should go now."
"Oh. Okay let's go."
So Duo tried to guide Serena around the mansion, but was not successful. 'This place should really have a map. It's huge!' Finally she said, "Duo I think we might be a little lost."
"Yea I guess you're right." Duo said nervously
Suddenly Serena got up and walked up to a door. Her curiosity got the best of her so she asked, "Hey Duo, what's in here?"
"How the heck should I know?"
"Well let's go inside then" Serena said and went inside. As soon as she did Duo remembered what it was.
"Uh Serena? Do we have to go in this particular room?"
"Yes Duo and you can't change my mind" she said and continued walking.
'Why does it have to be this room? Why not the music room?' Thought Duo as he followed her.
Suddenly he got an idea. He ran to catch up with Serena and said, "Hey Serena, I know where Q-man is."
"Really? Where is he?" she asked eagerly.
"Follow me." He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room.
"Duo where are we going?" Serena asked "And what was that room?"
"To the music room and I'll tell you later."
Finally they reached the music room and went in and as soon as she saw Quatre she let go of Duo's hand and shouted his name. Quatre, hearing his name being called stopped playing his violin. As soon as he saw her he gasped. "Serenity…" he said with shock evident in his voice as well as on his face.
Serena beamed at him and hugged him. "Is that any way to greet your little sister?"
Quatre, realizing he was being hugged by his little sister hugged back with tears in his eyes.
Finally they pulled apart. "Serenity how did you get here? I thought that you were…" he left the sentence unfinished. Serena just pointed to the still in shock, speechless Duo. Quatre laughed and said "Well that's a first. Duo's speechless."
Serena walked up to Duo and gave a small tug on his braid. Duo jumped and grabbed his braid from her hand instantly. "Don't do that! It hurts." Duo whined.
"Hey Quatre I'm hungry. Where's the kitchen?" Serena asked.
Quatre laughed and said, "Well you definitely haven't changed."
"So lead the way already!" She said
"Okay come on."
"Hey Quatre?"
"Yeah"
"Can we go somewhere first?"
"Sure"
"Thanks" she replied led him to the room Duo didn't let her go in.
"Are sure you want to go in here?"
"Yes. And this time there is no way you're going to change my mind."
"What's in here?"
"Training equipment."
"Cool. Can I go in?"
"Sure." Quatre answered and he and Duo followed her in.
When she got in she saw three people training. "Who are those guys?"
Duo took the opportunity to answer her question. He took her hand walked towards the three that were training. He pointed to someone with long bangs that covered one eye. "This is Trowa. He doesn't talk much." Then he pointed to someone with brown hair and Prussian eyes with no emotion. "This is Heero. He never says anything and will often point his gun at you if you annoy him." Then he pointed to someone with black hair kept in a tight ponytail and eyes of the same color. "And this is Wu-man."
Before she could say anything 'Wu-man' was chasing after Duo, with his katana, yelling "MY NAME IS WUFEI!!!" After a while Duo stopped running and hid behind Serena. Quatre, who had been watching the whole thing, was worried. 'Oh no if Wufei calls her anything, he might get seriously hurt.'
When Quatre did get to them what he saw was a very, very pissed off Serena who was currently glaring daggers at Wufei. 'I better stop this before she beats him into a bloody pulp.' "Can you two just stop?" Quatre asked. When Quatre saw that they weren't listening Quatre quickly said, "Serena, please refrain from killing Wufei. Wufei please refrain from killing Duo. Okay?"
Serena sighed and answered with a "fine" and walked away from Duo. As soon as she left Duo he said "Eep" and ran to catch up with her. When Serena got to the door she yelled across the room "hey Quatre come on!"
"Right" replied Quatre as he ran across the room.
"Well that was… interesting." She said as they continued their trip to the kitchen.
"Does that happen often?" She asked
"Yeah it happens too often, in fact."
"Hey Quatre did Duo get a tour of this place when he came to stay here?"
"Yes, but I think he only memorized where the kitchen was." He said and laughed.
"Really? That sounds like him." She said
Finally they reached the kitchen. "Finally I'm starved!"
"Oooh cookies!" Serena shouted with joy. Serena grabbed five cookies and a glass of milk then left the kitchen to eat her cookies. "Hey Quatre, Duo come on."
Soon Quatre could be seen coming out with Duo, who was holding ten chocolate candy bars.
Suddenly, Duo popped up and said "FOOD!!!"
Then Duo heard laughing and looked around the room. He found Serena on the floor holding her stomach and laughing like crazy.
"Serena?" Duo asked.
Serena looked up at him from her place on the floor and tried to get up but couldn't. Then she said "Yeah. Hi. Duo, could you um help me up?"
