"THE WINNER OF DRILL COMPETITION, HIKARI MILITARY SCHOOL!!!" The announcer said as Releana's group began to Celebrate. Releana's group posed for the scrap book and she saw a familiar blonde currently trmbling from anger as a dark haired guy spoke to her.
"You listen to me and you listen good!!Go back to that preky blonde of yours!! Remember after all you broke up with me for her."
"But Serena, I still at least want to be friends."
"Darien, do you know how lame that line is?!?" Serena threw her hands up. "Its commonly used to cover your own guilt and leaves that possibility that you'd have me to fall back on."
"I'm serious, I never asked for all of to drift apart, and besides there's Rini. I mean I knew I was hurting you when I broke up with youbut I figured since we're only going to be together in the end anyway make the most of things and experiment with others so we don't feel any remorse later on." He said and she juat walked away flustered. She didn't feel like springing that she had another destiny as a back up.
"Serena.." He called after her and was ready to chase after her but Releana Peacecraft had cut him off.
"RENA!!!!" She called.
"LEANA!!!" Serena returned the call and hugged the girl. "Congrats on the win!!"
"Thank you!!" Relena grinned. "Couldn't have done it without Hotaru and SImone though.. they were great."
"Yeah I tried really hard, Hime!!" Hotaru said and Serena hugged her.
"Me too!" Simone said and Serena hugged her as well.
"I'm glad you did.. now go check in with Michelle so she can make sure you don't have one of your random spells." She told Hotaru.
"Right." Hotaru said and the two girls left together.
"So who is that guy Rena??" Releana said glancing at the guy now with a shiny haired blonde with blue eyes.
"That would be my ex-fiancee I told you about." Serena said.
"Well, it seems he still might have a thing for you. That girl kinda resembles you, only very trashy."
"I know." Serena said. "But he fails to realize that I've moved on. He's trying to pull that 'I want to be your friend' thing."
"That's ashame." Releana said going to the Mess Hall for dinner. "Can you believe that there are only two groups left from both schools though." She tried changing the subjects.
"Yeah I know.. Mine and yours from here and His and that girl Sara From Appleton Military school." Serena said glancing at Sara who was currently holding onto Darien's arm.
"Yeah.. you're going against Sara's group in Battle Tactis tomorrow right??"
"You know it… That's my favorite event too."
"Even though you're terrible at it in class??" Releana asked.
"Well Yeah. Because the leaders get kidnapped by the other team. You're troop has to be smart enough to get you back." Serena said.
"That's cool. My group got stuck in the trivia round." Releana said.
"I know and the worst part is I can't be there to root you on!!" Serena said as they both got their food at the lunch line. On the way to the table they saw Heero and Shi talking. Heero was actually smiling. Releana gave them a small smile.
"Yeah.. but we'll know how it all ends tomorrow." Releana went back to the conversation.
"Yeah." Serena said.
"Uhmm Sere, I'm going to sit over there with Yaten." Releana said looking at her food.
"Go ahead.. I'll see you tomorrow ok??"
"Ok.. bye!!" Releana said and ran over to the table. Serena sat at her table ignoring the odd stares she got from the others.
"So.. everyone ready for tomorrow??" Serena asked suddenly.
"Yeah."
"Good cuz I make my special disappearance tonight at midnight." She grinned and finished her food and walked away without a word.
"It's not really all that surprising. She can't help but like everyone." Rei said.
"Yeah, this is true." Mina said. "It's amazing how so much dislike could easily be erased from her memory. Unless your name is Darien Shields."
"You know.. you should go find her." Lita said to Trowa. "She'll be gone half of tomorrow and then there's the whole Obstacle course thing if we win. You won't have too much alone time with her."
"She's right you know." Heero said sitting at the table and Duet sat next to him.
"Right.." Trowa said getting up. He had made his way to her room and she was sitting on the bed reading a Manga and munching on Cookies.
"I wondered how long it would be before they told you to come." She said not looking up. "Want a cookie??"
"No.." He sat down next to her and she closed the Manga.
"Good." She said. "Because we're going to play a game!"
"A Game??" He raised and eyebrow at her.
"Yes, I have sevral different types of cookies. You're going to guess which kind I ate. And I'll be genrous enough to give you as many chances you need."
"How kind of you.." He said just before accepting the kiss she was giving him.
"That is so sweet.." Sara walked pass the window with her love by her side. "How come we never do things like that Dare'??" She asked and he wasn't listening very well. "Dare??"
*~*~*~*~*~
The sun was high, meaning it was probably around noon. He looked up and to his left. There he saw the Agile side of the group minust one. To his right he saw the part of his crew that was best at breaking people out, minus two as well. They left the Amazon, her boyfriend, and the Chinese one behind, to guard their prisoner. He gave the blonde with her hair all pulled in a red bow a single nod and she jumped down from the tree. She sprinted for a good distance away from the gorup and she stopped. She found a branch, seeing how they were in the woods, and snapped it in half. A Good scream came from her direction. They counted minutes for the other group to react and send someone out there.
"What was that??" A guy with brown hair and green eyes asked.
"It sounded like the enemy." A girl replied.
"More like someone got hurt." Serena mumbled from the corner of the shack still reading her Mangas.
"You four go check it out." The guy with brown hair said missing the smirk on Serena's face, since it was hidden behind her Manga.
"Right…" they left leaving three people left, since four went to go see wghat Mina was screaming about, the other four went to try and retrieve Sara.
"Now If I'm correct. The whole group might be in the area."
"Please!! They'd leave like three people behind!!" Serena said,in japanese, rolling her eyes at the group.
"Would you be quiet?!?!"
"Well, maybe… but I don't know if I want to.." She said, in japanese still, as they held up their paint filled waterballoons.
"If this were a real war they'd kill you by now."
"Well, I knew that demo… this isn't a real war and you can't kill me cuz you'd be disqualified." She said with a heavy Japanese accent.
"You speak english??"
"Of course I speak English. I have an American on my team how could I not speak english." She said. "How he managed to get into a japanese military school is what gets me." She said seeing something blue flash by the window. She only giggled realizing it was Ami's Blue hair.
"What's so funny??" he asked.
"I don't know…" She said earning a glare from the guy.
"Go outside and check the premises." He said and everyone but him left the room. The door was slightly left open the pink haired girl from her group slid in followed by the tall cyclops. Serena just kept staring at the guy who was studying Serena. Just then a hard object poked him in the back. He turned around to see Rini poking him with her hair clip. "You're brave coming here alone, kid." He said grabbing her arm and set her in a chair. "but you're my newest POW (prisoner of war)
"Who said I was alone." She said in the same heavy accent as Serena and he got doused by 4 water ballons filled with paint. He looked and saw that the once closed windows were now open for two girls (one with red/black hair, one with blue hair) to sititng on the window sill of them and the fourth came from a guy.
"Come one!!!" Let's go!!" Serena said as the group that had set her free climbed out the window and ran for the red line behind their keep house. They made it to the other side a horn was blown Signaling their win. The group celebrated when everyone came in. only one person was caught with paint and that was Mina since she was the scarificed soldier. She made sure she hugged Serena first wiping paint all over her.
"Somebody tell me why we always have the competition with paint involved??" Serena asked. As the whole group posed for the picture in the scrap book.
"I don't know.." Everyone finally said. "But it's more fun!!" They began throwing the paint filled balloons at each other.
"LEANA!!!" Serena approached the group and saw that Simone was ready to start crying. "What happened??"
"I lost us the round.." Simone said.
"We already said it's ok Simone." Catherine said.
"Yeah, I couldn't remember that one either." Hilde said.
"But I wanted to win.." She said.
"Yeah but you know winning isn't everything." Serena said and knelt to whisper in her ear. "Besides it could be worse.. You didn't lose your life and be reborn into another where you HAVE to marry Darien." She said and Simone smiled a little bit.
"That's true.." She said.
"Good.. now smile.. and congratulate our team." She wiped some paint onto her face.
"That's wonderful, Hime!!" Hotaru said hesitating on the hugging her idea.
"Come on you know you want to.." Lita said running after the dark haired girl.
"get away from me Lita!!!!" Hotaru started running and Serena set her sights on Releana.
"Oh no…" Releana backed up and tripped on the bag of of the ballons they had leftand got covered herself. Simone began laughing at Releana. "You think this is funny??" She got up and chased the girls.
"Such Children." Dorothy muttered and the whole group sent glances between each other.
"Come congragulate us!!!" Mina and Serena said tackling Dorothy.
"We need some love!!" Ami said hugging Catherine. Then they began throwing the remaining balloons at each other.
"Have your fun now, Blondie.." Ronnie said with her group of weird colored hair friends watched them play around. "You won't live to become Neo-Queen Serenity." She said and her group left with smirks on their faces.
"This is great. They'll be so wrapped up in that competition so when we attack tommorow at the award ceremony." The pink and red haired girl said just before Sara walked by the group.
