"How long were you all at the beach?" Setsuna asked as she followed Serena out of the building.
"I'd say about four hours almost five. Left at eleven this morning." Serena answered as she placed the jars in the area that seperated the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. Setsuna shook her head as she glanced at everyone in the jeep. Quatre looked miserable and had given up on trying to stop Duo from poking him.
"Mina what did you put on Serena?" she asked as Serena climbed into her seat.
"Baby oil." Mina muttered as Setsuna took a better glance at the five again.
"You're all lucky. Were you five the worst burnt?"
"Yes." Serena answered as she threw something at Duo to keep him busy and stop bothering Quatre. Duo looked up from what she had tossed him and threw it back. "Mina switch places with Duo."
Mina jumped out of her spot happily as she moved to sit next to Quatre in the back. Duo grumbled as he moved up front knowing that he was going to have the sun hitting his shoulder the entire way back. He took a look at Rini before crossing his arms over his chest.
"Serena don't you have a tee shirt or something to cover up with?" Mina asked as she watched Setsuna walk back into her clinic.
"It's being used to block the sun from hitting Rini." Serena answered as she started the car, backed up and pulled out of the drive.
"I could have used mine, if I had brought one." Duo grumbled as he tried to move out of the sun as much as possible. Serena smirked as she placed her left foot on her chair, so that her leg was leaning against the door.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~
"Heero, where were you?!" Relena screeched as she latched into Heero.
"Miss Relena, I'd let him go. He's not in a happy mood right now." Lita warned as she watched Heero's face turn a shade of purple under his sunburn. "I also don't know if he can breath or not."
"Heero's always in a good mood to see me." Relena shot back as she tightened her grip on Heero.
"Who wants to bet that Heero trys to kill her?" Lita whispered as she and Raye prepared their selves to pry Relena off.
"Who wants to bet that Serena's going to kill her?" Raye smirked as she pointed at Serena's jeep which had just pulled in about five minutes after they had gotten there.
"I think she's going to walk right past and grab a handful of Relena's hair." Hotaru told them as she watched Serena pick Rini up and walk towards them with the others carrying their things and the cooling cream. Duo was carrying Serena and Rini's stuff since Serena wanted to get Rini in the building a soon as humanly possible.
"Peacecraft, you are not setting a good example for future students and for you're title. Princess' act with grace, you're acting like a clingy little school girl which you are not." Serena told her as she passed by. Relena turned to look at the girl that had just said something to her and stomped off to yell at her.
"I don't know who you think you are, but I am Relena Peacecraft and I demand that you appologize to me." Relena told her as she tried to keep up with Serena's pace.
"Brat, if you don't shut up, I'm going to make you. I can kill you." Serena threatened as Relena stopped in her tracks.
"The only person that can kill me is Heero." Relena yelled as she watched the pilots and girls that were always with them pass her without a second glance.
"Please do." Heero muttered as he opened the door for Serena and Hotaru.
"You should have killed her when you had the chance to, Heero." Hotaru smirked as she watched Heero glare at Duo for being the reason as to why he wasn't able to kill Relena.
"Hey man I've appologized for that already." Duo told him as when he noticed Heero glaring at him. "How was I to know that she was going to turn into a psychopathic stalker?"
Everyone turned to look at Serena when they heard her growl. Trowa raised an eyebrow as he looked over at the girls for answers. Duo backed up a few feet along with the girls, who knew Serena's mood when Rini was concerned. It normally ended up with someone hurt, namely the person that was pissing her off the most.
"Angry, scary Mother at two o'clock." Duo muttered as he went to hide behind Trowa. Wufei turned to look at Duo, oddly, before he shrugged and headed off towards his dorm. Raye went with him after handing out the cream.
"I say it's best that we all leave before she lashes out at one of us." Mina told them quietly as she started to pull Quatre towards where their dorms were located. Lita followed after them as Heero walked off to his dorm after Hotaru had run up to Lita.
"Oh great, just leave me alone!" Duo yelled as he turned to look at Serena. Shaking his head he went over to open their door. Serena smiled greatfully at him before she placed Rini on her bed. He watched as Serena continued to check on Rini after she had changed her out of her pink swim suit. "Why don't you go change into something other than your swim suit, I think that Rini will be find for two minutes or so."
Serena turned and glanced at Duo before turning back to look at Rini. Nodding she headed over to her dresser and picked out a black silk outfit of shorts and a tanktop.
"Uuh, she sure knows how to make a guy sweat." Duo muttered as he flopped down on his bed. Shaking his head at the suit Serena had been wearing he glanced over at Rini then at himself to compare shades of red. Serena walked out of the bathroom a few seconds later and smiled when her gaze landed on Rini. "She's just asleep right?"
"Yes." Serena answered as she sat down on the floor next to her bed.
"How did you come to know Rini?" Duo asked after a few minutes of silence. Serena smiled as she gazed up at the ceiling.
"I met Rini when she was about three months old. My mission at the time was to inflitrate Darien Shields' base, gather information, and when ordered, blow the base up. I got into the base by offering to be the inhouse nanny for Rini. Darien's wife had died in childbirth so he needed someone to watch her for him while he ran his district of OZ. I ended up staying at that base for three years. She grows on you after awhile, when I was ordered to blow the base with all personal inside, I couldn't leave her. That was the only time that I have ever gone against protocol. I just couldn't kill her she was three, it wasn't her fault that her father was a bastard." Serena told him as she looked up at Duo.
"So you were what eleven almost twelve?" Duo asked as he leaned back on his elbows. "How did you get the job then?"
"I just told him that I was a war orphan who's parents had just been killed and I wanted something to do so that I wouldn't become a number. Also that my parents had been forster parents and I knew how to care for babies." Serena shrugged as she started to yawn. "It's way to early to go to sleep."
"It's about seven it's never to early to go to sleep." Duo smiled as he rolled onto his back.
"Yes well, you don't have to sleep on the floor, again." Serena muttered as she started working on her make shift nest like bed. Duo just smirked as he leaned over and wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her onto his bed. Serena glared at him before grabbing her pillow and getting comfortable.
"You do know that you make things extremely hard." Duo told her as Serena's right arm came out and smacked him. Duo reached over and pinned her under him as he straddle her waist. Serena didn't put up much of a struggle since she was to tired to do anything. "First you wouldn't come out of that tree, then when I catch you, you put up a struggle and hiss at me. When I went to untie you, you growled and hiss at me, and now you're still making things hard."
Serena narrowed her eyes as she tried to get out of Duo's grasp. Shaking her head to the side she refused to look at him since she wasn't physical strong enough to get him off and she wasn't really mentally awake at the moment.
"And that suit you were wearing, did you and the girls just decide you wanted to make things hard on our part?" Duo asked as he turned her head to look at him. Serena growled as she gazed into his colbalt eyes. She had to smirk when he mentioned that suit, however, it had been something that the girls and her had decided to buy on one of their shopping trips. It was a strap less two piece that was hooked together by a silver hoop in the front. The bottoms V'ed in the front and went dangerously low. Serena's had been black, Mina's orange, Raye's a deep red, Lita's mossy green and Hotaru's had been violet.
"What if we had?" Serena breathed as she kept her eyes locked on his.
"Then, I'd say you did your job." Duo whispered as he leaned down, until his nose was touching hers. Their eye contact didn't break as Duo closed the distance between them. Serena responded to his kiss as he loosened his grip on her wrists. Wrapping her arms around his neck she smiled. Duo broke the kiss as he lay a chase kiss on her cheek before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer to him.
Serena lay in his arms as she glanced out the window that was directly infront of her. Twirling a piece of her hair through her fingers she thought back to the orders that Dr. C had given her when her mission was given out. Don't fall for one of the pilots. Serena sighed as she glanced at Rini. She was breaking protocol again, this time she didn't know what the punishment would be, last time it had been a hundred lashes for letting Rini live. She didn't want to think about what the doctors would do to her if they ever found out.
