"What do you think?" Hotaru asked as she glanced over at Serena who was sitting on a nearby bench. Serena looked up from her laptop and studied what Hotaru was wearing.

          "You look find, Taru. Go enjoy your date." Serena answered as a rare smile appeared on Serena's face. After what had happened Sunday, Serena's smiles became hardened and rare. When she did, the girls took everything they knew to keep it there.

          "We're still going to the ice skating rink tonight, right?" Hotaru asked as she sat next to Serena to wait for Heero to show up.

          "If Mina and Raye don't change their minds all of a sudden. Yes." Serena answered as she glared at her computer screen.

          "Are the guys coming?" Hotaru asked as she noticed Heero just leaving the dorm hall.

          "I don't think so." Serena answered as she stood up to leave. "I'm going to intercept Screech. You two owe me big for this."

          "Thanks Serena." Hotaru whispered as she watched the blonde make her way over to where Relena was, before she could spot Heero, so that her and Heero could leave without much trouble.

          "It's Taru and Heero." Mina squeeled as she pointed the couple walking into a nearby coffee shop. Lita looked up from the clothing rack she was browsing through to see what Mina what squaking about. Raye marched over to where Mina had been standing, pointing, and drug her farther into the store.

          A few minutes later screams of outrage were heard farther in the store where Duo and Wufei had gone since the girls had pulled the two screaming into the shopping mall earlier. Moments later Duo's screams could be heard as he ran from the ranting injustice. Lita dropped the clothes she had been looking at, as she ran towards the scene. Mina was watching with interest as Wufei chased Duo around the makeup and jewelry booth in the center of the building while she got her nails done. Raye was yelling things at Wufei but did nothing else to stop the fiasco. Lita sighed as she watched the pair run by again before muttering curses under her breath and leaving the scene.

          Picking up the clothes she had dropped earlier she went to try them on before buying them and walking out of the mall and towards the dorms to get away from the noise. Stopping at a smoothie stand she had to laugh at what she saw in a nearby Paneras, Serena was listening to Relena talk on about something while eating her breadbowl. Thanking the man for her smoothie she continued her way back to the dorms knowing that she would get a few hours of quite time.

          "What started this?" Raye asked as she kept a firm hold on Wufei's arm to keep him from attacking Duo. "Wufei why in the world do you smell like wild flowers? If you wanted to get perfume all you had to do was ask me I could have bought it for you."

          Duo snorted as Wufei turned his glare onto Raye who was trying to hold in her laughter. Mina looked amused as she glanced at her nails before grabbing Duo's braid and pulling him out of the mall. Raye let go of Wufei once Duo screams of outrage could not be heard with in the building. Glaring at her Wufei huffed and marched out of the building. Raye looked around, smiled at the dazzed store clerks and left.

          "Hotaru if I didn't love you, I'd kill you." Serena muttered as she walked into the dorm room everyone had been in with Quatre and Trowa.

          "Why's that Serena?" Raye asked as she sat down in one of the unoccupided chairs.

          "I had to sit and listen to Relena talk about peace and pasifism for about an hour an a half through lunch. Then she spotted those two and I got her turned off the idea of chasing Heero down by having her tell me about how she met Heero, why she loves her Heero, what there weddings going to be like and finally her future when her and Heero settle down and start a family for the next four hours. Heero I know the names of every child she wants to have with you, and every other thing she could think of." Serena grummbled as she glared at him.

          "What does she want to name her kids?" Mina asked as she turned her attention onto Serena for the first time since Quatre had walked into the room.

          "Nadine, Jacline, Alexander, Micheal, Jean Pierre, and so forth. Almost every french name in the book." Serena groaned as she glared at the two. "You all owe me for this. I saw you five walk past during the first hour. Quatre and Trowa are fine they weren't around."

          "Ahh man not fair." Duo whined as Serena sniffed at the air.

          "Wufei why are you wearing Raye's perfume?" Serena asked as she watched the chinese youth turn purple with anger.

          "Dude, he just forget too." Raye groaned as Serena placed her arms behind her head and leaned back to watch the chase.

          "This is much better than Tom and Jerry and the woodpecker and the coyote." Serena smirked as she watched the antics of her fellow pilots.

Poor Serena, I just thought that putting a chapter where Serena wasn't a big part would be a good idea. So any ways. Ice skating chapter next, then the dance.

Review, Thanks, and Goodnight:
