A New Life- Chapter 7

Author's Notes: Hey everyone! I am sooooooooooo sorry that I took so long to get
this out, but I lost the disk that had the original chapter 7 on it and I threw away
the rough copy, so I had to write the whole thing again. I probably would have taken
longer if I hadn't gotten so many reviews, so writing them wasn't in vein! Anyway
here's chapter 7! Enjoy!!

***************
The girls took their seats again, with everyone in the class wondering what the
heck happened to them. Heero never removed his eyes from the front of the class
although his full attention was on Serena, "What's wrong? What happened?" Heero asked
her in a whispered voice. "My past won't leave me alone," whispered Serena back.
"What do you mean?" asked Heero as he glanced at her. Serena sighed, "Amara told
you about my ex-boyfriend, right?" "Yes, she told me what he and your 'friend' did
to you," said Heero through clenched teeth, "and if I ever meet him, I reserve the
right to kill him." "You might actually--," Serena was cut off as the final bell
rang through the school, freeing the students to enjoy their weekend. "hat?" asked
Heero (the Gundam guys, and the rest of the girls, including Hotaru, were gathered
around now). "Serena's ex boyfriend and her former friend have come here to take
her back. They, along with Sere's other friends who don't know what they did," said
Amara. "What's worse," added Michelle, "is that they've joined OZ which can cause
us a threat since they're very powerful. Not as powerful as us, but still they could
pose a threat." 'The princess doesn't need these kind of things to worry about right
now. Maybe we can go some where she could relax,' thought Hotaru. " Hey everyone,
why don't we all go swimming today at the beach? I mean, we have been having a heat
wave (it's September) and it would give us a chance to relax," Hotaru suggested.
"That's a great idea!" exclaimed Michelle who was anxious to see the ocean again.
"Alright" agreed everyone. "Good we'll meet you there at 4," said Amara.

At the beach...
The guys were waiting patiently for the girls while discussing something. "I
think they're hiding something from us," said Wufei. " I agree. I think it has something
to do with Serena's past," added Duo. Heero was about to comment when someone gentle
placed their hands over his eyes and lightly kissed his cheek. "Guess who?" whispered
a familiar voice. Heero smirked slightly and pulled the owner of the arms in front
of him where he got a surprise. Serena stood in front of him wearing a modest bikini
(if there is such a thing) which was a pale pink, but there was something very different
to her look. Her hair was no longer the extreme length that reached down to her
ankles. Instead, it stopped in the middle of her back. "You cut your hair," stated
Heero despite the fact that it was painfully obvious. Serena pouted a little before
saying, "Yeah, the girls made me because they knew I'd be spotted right away by the
others if I didn't." "I like it." "Really?" asked Serena as she raised an eyebrow.
"Yes," said Heero as wrapped his arms around her waist."Would you two please stop
or get a room?" asked Wufei in a pained voice, thoroughly disgusted. "Fine, how
about we play Frisbee?" suggested Serena. The girls, Duo, and Quatre agreed, while
Heero, Wufei and Trowa decided just to watch. After about ten minutes of playing
everyone was annoyed at the fact that Serena was able to do fancy tricks and making
it so that none of them could catch the flying disk. 'This isn't fair! Serena has
so much practice with the Frisbee because she's Sa--," Amara didn't get to finish
her sentence because three pairs of hands that belonged to Serena, Michelle and Hotaru
were covering her mouth. "Shut up!" they all hissed. The girls looked at the boys
to see them all staring at them with a questioning look on their faces. The girls
just smiled innocently at them. "What were going to say Amara?" asked Duo. Amara
was about to cover her mistake when somebody suddenly shouted, "Hey goddess!" Everyone
turned to see Mark leave his group of friends and jogged up to Serena. "Hey Mark!
What a coincidence!" said Serena. "Coincidence my ass," whispered Heero angrily as
made his way to the two where he put Serena into his tight embrace, smirking secretly
at the very-less-then-happy look on Mark's face. Suddenly Serena's and the other's
watches started to beep. "Sorry Mark, but we have an important place to be right
now. We'll see you later!" said Serena as she and the others quickly gathered their
things and went to a secluded area. Once there, Serena opened her watched and awaited
Dr. J to speak. "Everyone, I have some bad news. The information on the new mobile
dolls that you stole wasn't the only copy. It turns out that there is one other
copy that is being guarded by five new special agents (I didn't know what else they
could be) which consist of four females and one male. You need to go destroy them
and that base. Do you all accepted the mission?" "Mission accepted," said everyone
except for Serena who looked sad and unsure. Amara and Michelle each put a hand
on one of her shoulders and Hotaru gave her a quick hug. Serena gave them a small
smile before nodded and agreeing to go. "Alright, here's the data you'll need." Said
Dr. J as he sent them the info they needed. The girls agreed to meet the guys near
the base, giving them each enough time to get to their Gundams and for the girls
to get on their disguises.

At the base...
Serena, Amara, Michelle, Heero and Duo went into the base to find the info and
destroy it while the others stayed behind to fight off the mobile suits/dolls.
They quickly made their way to their way to their destination, guns ready as they
turned the corner to the room holding the information, only to be met by a very unpleasant
surprise. There were the inners and Darien; in OZ uniforms and guns pointing at
the outers and Serena while they had their guns pointing at them right back, creating
a complete stand still. "Serena," said Darien surprised who was able to see through
her disguise, "what did you do to your hair? No matter, you are coming back with
us." "Over our dead bodies!" stated Michelle and Amara firmly. "Why are you letting
her do this? Just because she wants to escape her duties you let her leave?" asked
Lita angrily. "I did not leave to escape my duty, I left to escape my pain," said
Serena looking straight at the people she had once considered her family. "Those
two," said Amara indicating Raye and Darien with her gun, "were having some 'fun'
behind Serena's back and she got them in the act. That's way she left." The inners
stared in shock at the two, not believing what they were just told. Amy recovered
first and still had her gun pointing at the outers and her princess among with the
others. "That doesn't matter. You two were destined for each other and the future
depends on it, and what about Rini?" she asked. Serena winced at the mention of
her would-have-been future daughter. She was the only thing that Serena regretted
wouldn't happen because of her decision. "I will miss her, but she would have deserved
better than to have a loveless family. Besides," said Serena as she stepped back
so that she was right beside Heero. "I've found someone that treats me way better
than Darien, and better looking too." Heero released the death glare he was sending
Darien to give Serena a smug smirk. Darien growled in anger and pulled out one of
his roses straight at Heero. When it was just a few inches away, Serena's hand darted
out and caught it, and, much to the surprise of the others, threw it right back at
Darien, piercing his arm. "Enough of this! You are coming back with us! Mars Crystal
Power!" shouted Raye as she thrust her transformation stick in the air. However,
much to her horror, nothing happened. "I think she has lost her sanity," said Serena
smugly while telepathically she sent a message to the inners and Darien 'Fools! The
silver crystal created your power to protect me! Do you honestly think that it and
myself would allow you to use that kind of power against me?!' thought Serena angrily.
The five visibly paled slightly. "This is not over!" Shouted Raye as she threw a
smoke bomb to the ground and she and the others made their escape. "Cowards!" shouted
Amara angrily. "So that was your ex-boyfriend, huh?" asked Heero as he turned to
Serena nod yes. "I going to enjoy killing him next time we meet." Heero smirked evilly
at the thought as he deleted information on the suits and once again activated the
self-destruct sequence (I'm too lazy to write about them planting bombs around the
base). They quickly made their escape from the base with the other pilots and Hotaru
close behind.

Back at the academy...
"Princess, we need to tell them about our past," said Hotaru. "I know, but what
if Heero wants to break up with me because of it? I...I-I think I love him," said Serena
softly. Michelle smiled and put a hand on her princess' shoulder. "Then he is missing
out on a wonderful person," she said softly. "Thank you, Michelle. Well let's get
this over with," said Serena as she and the others headed to the Gundam pilots who
were waiting for them in their room.

End of chapter 7
*****************
Well I hope all of you enjoyed that chapter! Again, I'm so sorry that I took so long
to get it out! Chapter 8 will come out sooner because I'm almost done writing it
and I saved it on the computer, so the disk incident won't happen again. In case
you are wondering why had Serena have her hair cut, I wanted to because the thought
of having hair that long is disturbing and I know the beach was rather pointless but
::shugs:: I wanted to add and I couldn't just jump into the meeting of all the scouts
again now could I?. By the way , chapter one of my dbz/sm crossover will come out soon too,
so keep an eye out for it. Remember, the more reviews I get the faster the chapter will
come out! Bye everyone! Angel ^_~
