"Where are they?" Duo whined as he and the guys waited in the entry way of their dorm building.
"Maxwell they're women." Wufei told him as he pulled at his collar.
All five of them had gotten the same style of tuxedos. Depending on the colour the jacket, pants, and bow were the same colour. Duo had a black suit on with a burgandy dress tuxedo, Quatre's suit was pure white and Heero was wearing the standard black and white tuxedo. Trowa was in two shades of gray, the darker of the two grays was his tux colour. Wufei's tuxedo was navy with a white dress shirt.
"Why do we have to leave now?" Mina asked as they appeared in the foyer. Raye glared at her while Hotaru, Lita and Serena rolled their eyes.
"We're going out to eat." Raye scolded as she glared at Mina. Quatre shook his head as he walked over to Mina. The other pilots did the same with their dates and made their way out of the building where the limo was waiting.
Rashid waited for them at the limo. Duo was the last person in the back as Serena had slipped away into the driver's area. Rashid smiled as he muffled Duo's protests and walked over to the driver's side. Serena had buckled herself in then curled up in the seat so her boots were visiable. Shaking his head he started the limo and drove away from the school. Taking a glance at the slowly falling asleep Serena he decided against the highway.
"Rashid you just passed the highway." Quatre told him once her realized that they had passed the ramp.
"Don't worry Master Quatre. I thought taking the scenic route would be more quite than the highway." Rashid told him.
"Last time I was taken on a scenic road it ended up being hills and curves, curves on hills, hills on curves." Serena muttered as she glared at him.
"Just sit back and relax Miss Serena." Rashid told her with a smile. Serena huffed before turning the radio on and flipping a rock station on. Rashid chuckled as he turned onto the off road.
Ten minutes later, a few multilingual curses and sharp curves and hills, left Serena laughing. Rashid had pointed out a monitor that showed everyone in the back. Every curve made them crash into someone.
"For men of little words. Trowa and Heero are cussing up a storm back there." Serena laughed as she turned away from the monitor to change the station to a softer rock. Singing along with Jennifer Lopez, Alive, she smiled slightly in memory. 'I used to sing this to Rini.'
"Man, how many more curves are there?" Duo asked as they entered another group of curves and hills. Serena's laughter could be heard as she watched Duo crash onto Wufei's lap. A flood of curses, yells of injustices, and I'll kill yous were heard as Serena and the girls laughed. Rashid shook his head as he turned into the restaurant parking lot. Serena turned the speakers on and blared Complicated through the limo as the pulled up to the front doors. Serena jumped out of the limo as Rashid walked over to open the door for the others. Most of them flew out and Heero had fixed his patten gazed on the smirking Rashid. Hotaru simply smiled politely as she pulled Heero away.
Mina started laughing at everything that had happened as Lita, Raye, Trowa and Wufei started a quiet conversation. Duo had his arms wrapped around Serena's waist as she talked to Hotaru and Heero. Quatre was having a conversation with Rashid over the route he had chosen. Quatre left the tall man in a daze, trying to figure out why Rashid smiled after promising not to use the same route again.
Mina latched onto Quatre as the group made their way into the restaurant. Quatre took care of informing the host of their arrival as the girls went into a corner to talk. They had positioned themselves so that none of the guys coud hear or read their lips to see what they were talking about.
"Ben's alive." Serena told them as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I talked to him over the vid screen."
"Ben as in best friend Ben?" Mina asked as she looked up to see Serena truly smile.
"But I thought that….. last year?" Raye asked in confusion. "How could he survive an attack made by them?"
"He wasn't in the building when it blew up. He was hit by the blast, though. A group of hikers found him unconscious and took him to the hospital. He was in a coma for three months and the hospital ICU and reabilitation center for the last nine months. He's back at the base now." Serena told them as the guys walked over to them. The host was ready to show them to their table in the private garden that the restaurant had. Everyone sat by their date except Raye and Wufei who sat across from each other. Serena and Duo sat across from Mina and Quatre, Trowa and Lita sat next to Serena with Heero and Hotaru next to Quatre, Raye was next to Hotaru and Wufei next to Trowa.
Mina and Serena had ingadged in a fast paced conversation about Ben, that left the others wondering if the two actually knew what the other was saying. Lita smiled as she and the rest of them went into small talk leaving Quatre and Duo to try and follow the conversation Serena and Mina were having.
"So is he still hot?" Mina asked as she leaned onto the table.
"Mina?! What do you think?" Serena asked as she laughed at her friends antics.
"So he's still got that Obi-Wan look going?"
"Oh yeah." Serena smiled as she placed her head on her interlaced fingers and looked up at the moon.
"Serena come on." Mina whispered as she grabbed Serena wrist and pulled her out of her chair. "We'll be right back."
"Alright." Quatre answered as he turned to look at Duo who just shrugged, before taking a bite out of a bread stick.
"Did any one catch what they were saying?" Lita asked as she glanced around the table.
"Before or after they left?" Raye asked as she glanced up at her.
"Before."
"Nope. I don't talk at light speed." Raye smirked as Hotaru giggled, glancing back at others she looked up into the night sky and spotted the colonies.
"You're joking right?" Mina asked as she and Serena started back out the doors. Everyone turned to glance at her as Mina blushed. Serena sighed as she stopped Mina and turned to face her so that the others could see what she was saying.
"Mina don't tell them. I don't need them to know that there's another pair. Alright?" Serena asked as she stared into Mina's eyes.
"Alright. So what are their names?" Mina asked as she looked over at the table.
"Ares and Hades." Serena answered as she turned to walk back to the table.
"So Serena is the old married pair going to get back together sometime soon?" Raye asked as she played around with a red flower pedal.
"Uumm, after the war probably." Serena answered casually as Mina started to choke on her drink.
"But what about…….?" Mina asked as she glanced at Serena nervously. Serena only shrugged in response as she took a sip of water.
"What about what, Mina?" Quatre asked as Mina glanced around at the rest of the table, Lita just shook her head no as Mina sighed in defeat.
"Nevermind." Mina whispered as she locked eyes with Duo for a moment. Turning back to talk to Quatre, Serena ran her fingers over her forehead.

Hmm. Tis a good place to stop me thinks. Other than the fact that it's late and all
The hills and cuves are from when my parents and I went to Arkansas for vacation while FF.Net was having its breakdown. Ever see a cow try and stand up when going on a curve in the back of a trailer? No? Well I'll tell ya. The poor thing kept sliding around when there was a curve to the right it was mighty funny though.
THANKS TO ALL THAT HAVE REVIEWED AND EVERYONE THAT LIKE THE DRESSES. OH AND HEE THE WOODPECKER AND THE COYOTE THINGY THAT WAS A FEW CHAPTERS AGO. OOPS MY BAD. JUST DISREGARD IT, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR EDITING AT 3 IN THE MORNING ON A CAFFINE HIGH.
WikeD tEnShI: Hmmm, good question. I don't remember. Humm, alright in chapter 7 I made a age change to Taru, can't have a twelve year old going out with a 16 year old. And from what I've read in Chapter 10 – 11 the two were voted in as a couple so it came in around that time.
Rant for the chapter: I hate neopets at the moment. Froze my account for no damn reason, again. Second time they've done it to me. I talk to next to no one. Gurrr. Lost my babies, Haldir, Leoglas(spelling error on my part), Merry, and Pippin plus four petpets. And a lot of money. Damn them.
~*~ QUESTION FOR THE READERS ~*~
Alright what would you all say if I put up a lord of the rings/sailor moon crossover? Would y'all read it or do you think that there's beginning to be to many of them out there. It wouldn't be a Serena/Legolas romance or anything. I may write one later on down the road, but this one's been sitting in my head for a while and Tipsy told me to write it or he'd do mean things to me.
Answers PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review, Thanks, and Goodnight:
