"How come you never told us you were the Sailor scouts?!?!" Ken asked breaking the eerie silence in the lodge of Hikari Military school.

"Weren't allowed to.." Mina said. "Luna and Artemis would've had a fit.. especially if the enemy was nearby  when we said something. They'd use you against us."

"They haven't touched me yet.." Trowa sighed looking  up at the ceiling of the room.

"You knew??" Lita asked.

"Yeah he knew.." Serena held her arm to her chest.

"You told him…" Rei said cutting Serena off.

"If you'd wait I'd finish explaining!!!" Serena said quietly. "Remember a while back here was a time lock and Trista never came to us??"

"Yeah.." Hotaru spoke up.

"She came to me.. to tell me something." Trowa said.

"Tell you what??" Mina asked, Trowa paused  re-thinking the conversation.

"Something about the future being unpredictable.." He said giving her the last line of the whole thing.

"This has got to be the weirdest Valentine's day." Duo said.

"Oh yeah!! Gift time!!" Serena said and grabbed her bag from the corner while everyone else grabbed their bags.

          They came back to the Center. And passed their gifts to everyone.. Serena got the most gifts of course. Mina opened her bag and got a necklace, a BIG box of Candy (From the scouts) And full paid singing lessons. Rei got a necklace, candy, and a new priestess robe. Ami got sevral books, a necklace and candy. Lita got an apron that says 'kiss the cook', candy and roses. The guys got a lot of candy, pictures of their girlfriends. Duo got hair stuff, Heero got a computer program,, Quatre got a music book with only the staffs so he can write down his songs. Trowa earned lots of candy, a sweater and gel for his bangs. Wufei got a polishing kit for his katana, and a target poster to hang for practice.. it was a picture of Duo's head.

"Hey!!!" Duo frowned and Wufei  hugged Rei.

"Perfect gift, Onna."

"Baka.." Rei said smirking at him.

"So let's see what you got Sere.." Amara said.

"What about you guys??"

"Well I got a new Violin.." Michelle held up the case.

"I'll show you what I got later." Amara winked, then whispered something in Shi's ear and the girl  left.

"I gots candly Galore!!!!" Rini, Simone and Hotaru said.

"Alright then.." She set the candy she got from the scouts aside, and the roses Amara sent her. "Let's see.." She got a Pink Kimono from Michelle and Hotaru. Her two future kids gave her a photo album of the whole group. She opened Heero's gift. A Silver I.D. bracelet. Duo gave her two pairs of earings one with her name in it the other were for everyday wear. Wufei gave her a white Chinese Style dress that looked to accentuate her figure, very well too might I add.

"I figured now you have something nice to wear for the summer ball." He said

"Thanks.." She smiled at him warmly then got up and hugged him, she took her seat and opened Quatre's gift. It was a Ring and the stone was in the shape of a heart. On the inside there was a message engraved.

"To the best friend I've ever had… may life eternally bring you joy, and something new to learn." Quatre dictated out loud as she read it to herself."

"That was beautiful Q-chan." She said slipping the ring on her finger. "Lucky my fingers didn't get fat.." She said making the others giggle. "And finally." She took the square box from Trowa. She looked at him then took off the red ribbon around it. Amara had the strangest smirk on her face. When she opened it Serena stared at it for a couple of seconds.

"Sere??" Lita looked at her unblinking eyes. "Hello??" She waved her hand in her face and Serena grabbed it still not blinking.

"8……9…..10. You got them all!!!" She finally smiled. "Its beautiful she said.

"10 what??" Mina asked. Serena finally took the necklace out of the box  handed it to him  since he was sitting next to her. He nodded slowly silently agreeing to the silent question.

"You even got Rini and Simone there." She said ready to cry. Duo looked at the necklace.

"I've seen that somewhere.." He murmured.

"He got all the colors too.." Ami said. He indeed did..on the left side there was a blue stone, a red one, an orange one, a light green one, and a pink one. On the right there was a darker orange one, a green-blue one, a dark green one, a purple one and a darker red stone and in the middle was diamond.

"That's nice…" Mina said watching Trowa put it around her neck, shakily. The clock then rang signaling midnight and more people came back from their dates and saw the group sitting there.

"Got it." Trowa said and Serena let her hair down.

"What a gorgeous necklace!!" Releana said. "I mean if it wasn't cheap."

"Glad you noticed… I like it too." Serena grinned she put all of the stuff she got for Valentine's day in a bag.

"Ok Amara.. we have to see your gift."

"I refuse to do that next time Amara!!!" Shi said coming back inside. " My arms are killing me."

"You won't have to do it this time. Come Keneko-Chan!!" Amara literally swept the girl off  her feet and carried her outside. There they saw a Car.. It was black and had her name in the back in flames.

"I Love this car!!" Duo got excited and several people started to crowd around the car.

"Nice wheels.." Some one commented and Serena began to yawn.

"I agrree." Serena yawned again.

"Go ahead.. we'll see you in the morning." Simone pushed her mother forward.

"uh-huh.." She yawned again and pulled Trowa with her since he was the closest person. "Oyasumi Minna-chan." She yawned again.

"Tell me why am I carrying you??". Trowa asked stoping outside of her room.

"Because I asked you to.." She yawned once more.

"That's right." He set her on the bed but she managed to pull him with her. "Did I redeem myself yet??" He asked her sitting up while she sat up too and leaned on his shoulder. She smiled and slowly began drawing circles on his thigh again only last time was much closer to  his knee this one was a bit higher. He put a hand on hers to stop her.

"Yeah you redeemed yourself… and more." She added standing up to stretch, looking rather refreshed. Then she sat back down.

"More??"

"Yeah.. cuz firstly I have to apologize over the whole seductress act thing." She said. "I was a bit extreme…" She said.

"Extreme?? That's an understatement."

"I just didn't expect you to get turned on like you had." She said giggling with a blush. He narrowed his eye at her.

"Don't be mad… I just have to do one thing.. and this time I have my head together so if it weirds you out at least you know I'm sincere."  She said as her blush  increased.

"What are you talking about??" His eye showed confusion as she took a deep breath. She looked at him and thanked god they were sitting because she always felt terribly short when they're standing next to each other. With out warning her arm shot out bring his face to hers. Of course he hesitated for a second and pulled away watching  her embarrassed state, eyes closed and a blush so big you could feel the heat radiate off of her. He could only smirk.

"You went about that too suddenly and too fast." He said slowly carressing her cheek with the back of his knuckle. He opened his hand to cup her face in his hand and slowly leaned in but she put a hand up and tucked his bangs behind his ear.

"Go ahead.." She said just above a whisper. He only smiled at her then seal what little distance there was. When they parted she laid back  on the bed and he just sat there processing the fact that he just kissed the girl he cared so deeply about. It wasn't a pity kiss from friendship like the night of the ball, not a desperate anger kiss from when she tried teaching him a lesson, and not the typoe to stop her from  being hysterical. This one out of raw affection, there was no surprise seperation.

"How long??" he asked her referring to the feelings of affection.

"Reallization was recently.." She said sitting up again. " But I guess it doesn't matter now does it??" She whispered in his ear. He turned his head in her direction and smiled.

"I guess it doesn't" He said being silenced by yet another sweet tantalizing kiss.
