I Know Who I Am: Chapter Seven: Does Mattel Even Make These??
IKWIA: 7
-------------------------
Last time, in IKWIA...
...."So now, I can't go back. They'd probably kill my parents trying to get to me if I did... there'd be nothing there for
me at all... I can't let them be sacrificed..." Augusta's face was buried in her hands now, and her eyes were brimming
with tears. "So if you guys don't want me, then... then..." she moved her head even lower.
"We want you." Augusta lifted her head a little, but it still remained buried in her hands.
"You do??" She questioned. Heero grasped each of her hands in his own and pulled them away. "I want you," he whispered.
Augusta lifted her head. Her hair was messy and her eyes were red, but he thought that she was beautiful. After a
journey of over a year, his lips met hers, and the stars cried out in the heavens.
"Serena," he mouthed beyond her sight, caressing her tresses, "my beautiful Sere."
-------------------
Continuing our story...
Serena fell asleep in Heero's arms that night, and he didn't get up for fear of waking her. He looked at her for a
long time, wondering what he was getting into, before finally falling asleep himself.
-------------------------------
Quatre knocked a few times on Serena's door the next morning. It was almost nine, and he had always known Heero to rise
long before that, and every morning. So, it was not suprising that, after a few seconds of silence, Quatre reached for
the key to the room, and unlocked the door.
Looking in, he was suprised to find Heero lying on the bed... holding... Serena? Heero was by that time, awake and staring
at Quatre, glaring for him to leave.
"Hey, Quatre!" It was Duo. "When are we gonna leave?" The pilot walked toward Quatre, his braid swinging. Quatre
hurried to close the door, but was unable to do so in time. Duo had reached the door, and glanced in at the scene. Duo's
head leaned forward, and his eyes bugged out in disbelief. Quatre was blushing.
"Heero??!" Duo was grinning. Heero had, at the sight of Duo, rolled off the bed and jumped into a standing position, glaring
at Duo.
"Duo, you'll wake her..." Quatre whispered. Serena was beginning to stir, and, now lying on her stomach, reached to her
left, and then her right, searching for Heero, but finding nothing. At this point she became confused, and sat up.
Blinking away the remnants of sleep, she glanced around the room, her eyes resting on Heero. She smiled. Heero, for once
in his life, gave a look of terror, and turned towards Duo, who was by that time, laughing his ass off.
"Hahahahahaha! Try to get out of this one, Heero!!" Duo crowed. Heero would not admit defeat.
"What are you talking about??" Duo was instantly confused. He had seen what he'd seen, right? Scratching the back of his
head, Duo turned, and walked out of the room, trying to figure things out. Quatre cleared his throat, and smiled.
"Anyway, Heero, didn't Dr. J suggest that we attend school with Relena? He said it would be better for our cover." Heero
nodded.
"Yes."
"Alright. Can you be ready to leave in an hour?"
"Sure. Serena should come, too." Quatre glanced at her. Recieving a final nod from Heero, Quatre left to prepare for
his leave.
After Quatre had gone, Heero turned towards Serena, blushing lightly.
"I'm going to go... pack. You should, too. I'll be back in half an hour."
Serena nodded, looking at him. Heero, satisfied, left the room quickly. Serena shut the door, leaning against it. A
light smile graced her lips.
---------
About five hours later, the three pilots, plus Serena, had arrived at Relena's mansion, via airplane and limosine.
Relena had greeted them at the door, cheerily, happy to see Heero. Relena was angered when she saw Heero's hand resting
possesively on the back of Serena's elbow, unnoticed by Quatre and Duo. Heero was still angry that they had to stay
with Relena. Duo was still angry that the plane had run out of those little bags of peanuts.
---------
After being shown to her room and eating dinner in the company of Relena and the three pilots, Serena left, wandering
curiously throughout the halls.
---------
See Heero. See Duo. See Heero chase Duo. See Duo run for his life. See Duo turn a corner, sneak up behind Heero, and
knock him on the head with a vase, rendering him unconcious. See Duo glance about nervously, and resume his running.
--------
Unfortunately for Heero, his head had been konked in one of the deepest reaches of the mansion. Also unfortunate for him
was the fact that he was now by Relena's room, unconcious.
Relena walked towards her room, and upon sight of Heero, trotted quickly to reach him.
"Heero!!" Relena quickly tried to revive him, but had no success. Shrugging her shoulders, Relena dragged the comatose
Heero into her room, lifting him on top of her bed, and decided to wait for him to wake up. Plopping rather ungracefully
on her bed, she reached for a brush, and began to pull it through her hair. A knock on her door brought her to her feet.
--------
Serena had wandered around the mansion for awhile, and was now undoubtedly lost. Hoping that someone might show her
back to her room, or at least show her to someone who could. The next was the fifth door, and Serena was getting rather
discouraged. She knocked. A few seconds later, Relena opened the door.
"Hello, Miss Relena." Serena cringed.
"Hello, Serena."
"I was wondering if there was someone who could show me back to my room? I seem to have gotten lost." Serena forced a
smile.
------------------------------------------
Surgeon General's Warning:
The following sequence is most likely incredibly OOC.
------------------------------------------
"I suppose that could be arranged." Relena looked at her. "Won't you come in while I call for someone??" Serena nodded,
and entered the room with dread. She spotted Heero on the bed, and rushed over to him. Relena met her there, even
before Serena was able to check for a pulse.
"You'd do best not to touch him." Relena's eyes were narrowed.
"What is he doing in your room?" Serena was equally irritated.
"He came here of his own free will." Relena smirked.
"I doubt that." Serena moved again towards Heero.
Relena stepped forward, towards Serena. "You stay away from him. He's mine, and I'm not about to let some two-bit
commoner take him from me."
"Who are you calling a commoner?? I'm a princess, too, and I, unlike yourself, don't chase men I don't know around."
Relena smirked. "A princess, eh? Princess of what? Concubines? (ouch!)"
"Actually, I'm the princess of the moon, and of the desire-and-ability-to-kick-your-ass."
"You want to make a bet on that?" Relena yelled, running towards Serena, raising her hand in an attempt to slap the moon
princess. Serena caught her hand.
"What's that you were saying?" Serena grinned triumphantly.
"Only that you're a hoochie-mama!!" Relena spat out, shoving Serena away.
"That's it!" Serena put her fist out, with the intent of punching Relena. Before she could, however, Relena had, like
a village idiot, run at Serena, and succeeded in knocking the wind out of herself. Serena hadn't even had to move her hand.
"You know, for a princess of passivism, you're really a wimp...--" Serena smirked triumphantly. She noticed that Heero was
now awake, sitting up on the bed, and staring at her, eyes wide. She grinned at him, flashing a V-for-victory sign,
and walked towards the door. Heero went out himself, grinning in disbelief."--and for a person, you're really stupid." she
finished, walking out of the room, shutting the door behind her.
------------------------
"That was so cool!!" Duo had witnessed the whole thing, and his eyes were wide.
"Wasn't it?" Serena grinned, grabbed Heero's arm, and pulled him away.
