"Come on Taru, it's not that hard." Lita smiled as she helped to steady Hotaru.
"Yeah well, you, Serena and Raye have a natural talent for this." Mina snorted as she looked at the ice from the safety of the boards. "The guys are trying to get Wufei to stand up."
"How hard is it to stand?" Raye asked as she joined their small group and turned to watch Serena skate backwards without a care in the world.
"I don't know that's all I heard before I turned to leave." Mina told them as she pointed over to where the guys were walking out. None of them had change from their normal outfits only Heero was wearing a pair of jean instead of spandex.
"Serena ya big show off!!" Hotaru laughed as she watched Serena spin on the tip of her blade. "You guys can do that also?"
"Yeah, but not as long as she can." Lita sighed as she watched Serena glide out of the spin and over to where they were standing to see what Wufei's yells of injustice were about this time.
"Wu-Man it's not my fault that you can't balance!" Duo yelled out as Wufei grabbed ahold of his braid. Prying his love and joy out of Wufei's hands he stalked over to where the girls were to stay out of reach. Serena who had just glided up pulled on Duo's braid to get him to move.
"He's got the stance down all he needs, is to start walking. He'll be fine." Serena told them as she left to the ice with Raye right next to her. Mina studied the ice once more before moving over to where the door was and pushing off. She made it about halfway around the curve before falling. Serena who was speed skating backwards didn't see her. Until Quatre yelled that she was going to hit Mina. Using the momentum of the speed she flipped over Mina and landed flawlessly before the dazed blonde who had ducked and covered. Skating up to Mina she offered her a hand up.
"I think this was a bad idea." Mina muttered as she pulled down the skirt on her skating outfit. The girls had, yet again, bought the same style of outfit. It had a rounded collar with ribbon threaded through with a bow on either shoulder, they had long sleeves that had ribbon threaded on the end with another bow, a mid thigh length pleated skirts with a bow on the left side of the waist finished the outfit. The ribbon and the knee high skates were the same colour. The outfits were the same colour as their swim suits, save Serena's who's was a charcoal colour with ice blue ribbon. Hotaru's was violet with bright marron coloured ribbons, Lita's was a light green with slate blue ribbons, Mina's was a golden yellow with royal blue ribbons, and Raye was a bright brick red with violet ribbons the same colour as Hotaru's outfit.
"It just takes some getting use to Mina." Serena smiled as she helped Mina get her balance back before letting go to skate over to where the CD player was. Turning the radio on she smiled as she watched the pilots finally make it out onto the ice. "Besides you're better than them."
"Yeah, I guess you have a point there." Mina laughed as she watched Wufei take Heero and Trowa down with him. "Raye go help your boytoy."
"Mina he's not my boytoy!" Raye yelled as she tried to stop laughing at the scene before her. Duo and Quatre were stareing at the three on the ice before Duo started laughing.
"Wu-Man you've got as much grace as a drunken cow."
"Maxwell you will die for your comments!" Wufei yelled as he disintangled himself from Heero and Trowa who were standing up at skating towards Lita and Hotaru.
"That is if you can catch me." Duo snorted as he took off towards Serena who was trying to hold in her laughter as she kept Mina from falling over.
"INJUSTICE!!!!"
"Ahh poor Wufei." Raye smiled as she offered him her hand. Wufei muttered something about weak and women before complying and following after her. Quatre had skated over to where Mina was and looked up at Duo.
"Since when have you known how to skate. Last time I asked if anyone wanted to go you wouldn't, because you didn't know how." Quatre asked as he helped Mina to steady herself.
"No one can resist Rini's eyes, man." Duo smiled as he glanced down at Serena who was about ready to hit the radio. Grabbing her wrists to keep her from doing so, he pulled her out farther away from the boards. Serena shook her head as she skated next to him and watched the others. Heero was helping Hotaru out and more than once landed on his butt while trying to keep her from falling, everyone could see the faint hints of a smile playing on his lips. Lita and Trowa seemed to be the perfect pair on the ice skating in sync with each other, Raye was helping Wufei out who was catching on quick, and Quatre and Mina were doing the same.
"I'm glad they're all happy." Serena whispered she looked up at Duo who was watching his best friend laugh.
"Yeah, they deserve it, especially Heero." Duo smiled as he turned to gaze into Serena's eyes. "So are you happy?"
"Yeah, I think I finally am." Serena told him as she looked back down at the ice. A familiar screeh broke through the silence as Serena glared at the enterance to the rink where Miss I'm a Pretty in Pink Princess, stood. Serena took off for the side board next to Relena and flipped over it as she inturn grabbed a hold of Relena's arm and pulled her away from the rink.
"What are you doing here?" Serena demanded with a growl as she stepped into her blade guards.
"My Heero is here so I have every right to be here as well." Relena told her as she started to head back to the rink. Serena having enough of her I'm better than the world attitude slammed her into the wall.
"Listen Relena, I'm only going to tell you this once. He doesn't love you, you're a mission to him and that's it. This afternoon I had to listen to you degreate Hotaru just because she was with Heero. They've been together for almost a year. And no, you can't be here, I rented this place out for the night to be with my friends and not have to worry about interuptions. So get out of here Relena." Serena told the shaken girl, Relena kept looking into Serena's eyes and could only see the vancant emotionless stare of her black eyes. Relena nodded silently as she turned to leave not wanting to get placed farther down on Serena's bad side.

"Miss Relena I want to apologize for my behavior last night. I had no reason to do that to you an I am requesting a leave of absents from school for the week so that I can pull myself back together." Serena told Relena not once dropping her gaze.
"You're a Gundam Pilot aren't you?" Relena asked as she watched for a reaction out of Serena, which she got. Two silver and gold daggers appeared in the palms of Serena's hands. "Your secret is safe with me. I already know that the guys are pilots."
"Then yes, I am a pilot. I'm pilot 00 of Gundam Shadow and Gundam Chaos." Serena told her in monotone.
"What did they do to you?" Relena asked. "Not even when the others get mad do their eyes change colours as noticably as yours."
"That is classifided information. But I'll tell you one thing. Heero Yuy's training was child's play compaired to mine." Serena told her as she leaned against the wall.
"Your leave of absents will be granted." Relena told her as she watched Serena walk towards the door. That was the last time that she would see Serena.
Hehee
Until the dance.
