Prayin' And Wishin'

AN:

Sorry that it took so long for this chap to come out but I was so hung up with school and the extra class I took. There wasn't really much time to make this chap with all the homework's. And over the summer, I had to go to the other side of the world. To visit my cousins who don't have internet. So, I couldn't get any chapters up till now. Hope you enjoy!!

+ chapter 6: Forget Him +

' How can I be so stupid?' thought Serena. She ran fast, wanting to get as far as possible from the café after what she had just witnessed. Tears kept coming down her eyes, making trails down her cheek, as proof that her heart has been broken. ' Why?… How can this happen?… I…' Serena trailed off, realization hitting her. She began to slow down until she was now standing still on the middle of the sidewalk.

' I was never his in the first place, nor was he mine.' Serena answered herself,' He doesn't even see me more than a friend.' Serena brought her hands up to wipe her face off of tears, not wanting to cry anymore over nothing. Over something she didn't have in the first place.

Serena began to a little, at how stupid she acted. Though tears were still coming, making her laugh a little harder, startling the people that were passing her by. Shaking her head, Serena began her trek back to the dormitory. Back to where it all started.

*~*

" Did you see Wufei in that clown suit?!" Rae asked through her laughter. She held her sides as she walked side by side with her friends, towards Serena's dorm.

" Yes!" Mina exclaimed, in the same state as Rae.

" Please don't bring that image up," Amie said, rubbing her temples, eyes covered with terror.

" I swear that was the most horrifying thing that I had ever witnessed," Lita commented with wide eyes. Apparently still remembering the event.

" Awe come on! He looked cute!" Rae pointed out.

" You say that because he's your man." Amie said.

" You would always find him cute even if he is wearing the ugliest tux in the world!" Lita said.

" Like those disco suits one?" asked Mina," The one that come in all those different colors and have those ruffled under shirt thing?"

" Yuck yes!" Amie announced.

" Well I think he looks cute and I'm listening to myself," Rae said, stopping in front of the door of the missing member in their group.

The rest of the girls just nodded. Not wanting to talk about Chang Wufei. Rae knocked the door and waited for it to open. A couple of minutes had passed, and they were still standing outside. Rae tried again, this time knocking harder. This time the answer they received was a loud thud. The girls started to worry.

" Serena? Come on hun answer the door!" Amie shouted. All of them started to press their ears up against the door, trying to listen to whatever was happening inside.

" Serena?" Lita asked.

Mina was about to say a word when she heard someone clear their throat. All of them got off the door and looked at the man that was their friends roommate. Keys in his hand, and a raised eyebrow in question.

" What are you guys doing?" Heero asked.

" Serena isn't answering the door and we heard a thud!" Rae ranted.

" She might be hurt!" Mina announced.

Heero stared at the girls then gently pushed them out of the way so he may open the door. A click was heard and Heero pushed open the door. He didn't see any sign of Serena in the living room, stepping into the room he walked over to the kitchen, the girls following closely behind him. When the kitchen was empty of Serena, Heero roamed over to the bedroom.

Opening the door of the room, Heero looked over to Serena's side of the room and saw her there, with her headphones on, the music blaring out from them a little, and reading a book. Heero looked at her quizzically.

*~*

Serena was oblivious to her surroundings. The music blasting loudly in her ears was just a whisper to her, and the book she was reading, was millions away from her sight. Not either of them were getting to her head. As hard as she tries to occupy her mind with something else, she always comes to think of THAT person.

She drew the book a little closer to her face. Trying to read the book, thinking that it may prevent her from thinking of him if she actually read the book other than just looking at it. As her frustrations grew a little higher by each beat of the song, Serena threw the book and turned around, coming face to face with the one she was trying hard to forget.

Serena screamed and punched Heero in the face in reflex. She jumped off of the bed only to fall on the ground face first because of the headset getting wrapped around her feet, her CD player flying over her and smashing on the floor. Broken.

" SERENA!" Mina and the girls exclaimed, worry filling them as they rushed over to their best friend.

Serena felt the ground shake and looked up. She saw Mina, Rae, Amie, and Lita's lips moving, but didn't hear anything. She took the headset off and slowly shook her head. The voices of her friends became a little clear as the seconds passed by.

" Ouch…" Serena moaned.

" Serena you should be more careful," Amie said.

" Hey it wasn't my fault! I was surprised! It was reflex!" Serena protested.

" I noticed," came the deep voice of Heero Yuy.

Serena looked over Lita's shoulder and saw Heero rubbing his nose. She was about to cry, but she held herself back. She didn't want him to see her cry. She narrowed her eyes at him and saw him look at her a little surprised, but the emotion was wiped out of her face immediately. She propped herself up with her hands and sat down on the floor. Rubbing her chin a little.

" So what are you guys doing here?" Serena asked. Spying Heero from the corner of her eyes as he left the room.

" We just wanted to come over and see how you were doing," Lita said.

" And what happened when you went after Heero!" Mina whispered to her.

At the mention of the name, Serena's expression took a downfall. The girls looked at her in question and worry.

" What happened Serena?" Rae asked.

Serena snapped out of her thoughts. She looked up at Rae and brightened her expression: " Nothing happened! Everything was great!"

" Okay… I so don't believe you," Lita said.

" Tell us what happened," Amie coaxed.

Serena looked at them, she felt her eyes go warm and her vision got blurry: " I found out he had a girlfriend."

The tears began to fall, she sobbed a little but quietly.

" What?" asked Mina.

" He's taken." Serena said.

" Serena… You know that was expected," Rae said.

Serena looked up at Rae.

" I really am sorry for you Serena. But there was a really big possibility that he was taken," Rae finished.

Serena looked down and nodded.

" Come one don't be sad!" Lita said, " There are so billions of guys out there that are so way hotter than him!"

Serena looked up at her in question, with one of her eyebrow quirked up.

" Yeah like there is Trowa!" Lita pointed out.

" Duo!" Amie said, her face were tinted red at the thought.

" Quatre," Mina said, her eyes filling with stars.

" And don't forget Wufei!" Rae said.

Serena looked at them and cleared her throat: " I'm not so sure about Wufei being cute and all but I don't think any of the guys you mentioned are available."

" Hey! He might not look good to you but he is to me!" Rae said, a smile on her face as she was lost in her own world.

" But, at least we proved to you that there can be other guys out there in the world that can be hotter than him!" Amie said.

Serena's face brightened a little. ' They are right, Heero was never mine in the beginning and there was all that possibility that he was taken! I shouldn't be like this and go out there and man hunt!' thought Serena as she looked up at the girls.

The girls were a little taken aback by the broad smile on Serena's face, once recovering from the shock of the smile they leaned in a little to Serena and were ready to hear what she was to say.

" Who wanna join me with my man hunt?" Serena asked mischievously.

The girls just looked at her astonished.

' What have we put in her mind?' thought Mina.

' Major change…' Lita mused.

' Whoa… Did I just here what I thought I heard?' Rae wondered.

" A man hunt?" Amie voiced out.

Serena nodded vigorously: " Yup!"

Mina, Rae, Lita and Amie looked at each other and then at Serena. After a moment of silence the girls all had smiles on their faces.

" What are we waiting for?" Mina exclaimed as she jumped up to a standing position," Let's find you a man!"

Serena squealed in delight and rushed out of the room and into the bathroom. Amie, Lita and Rae stood up and spied Serena in the bathroom who was rummaging through the cupboard, taking out perfumes and make ups. She scooped them up and went back in the room.

" Let's look good," Serena said as she closed the door of the bedroom with her foot. The girls giggled and got down to work.

*~*

Heero stared at the bedroom door that was closed by Serena in question. He had heard the announcement of a man hunt and that got him interested in what they were to do. ' A man hunt?' thought Heero,' are they going to find Serena a--'

Heero stopped himself. He shook his head and went back to reading the newspaper. ' It's there business. Not mine.' Thought Heero as he read.

*~*

After an hour of doing her make up, cutting her hair, styling it, and picking out a good outfit. Serena Tuskino was ready to go clubbing with her friends. She looked at herself in the mirror. ' Damn! I don't even recognize myself!' thought Serena.

She had on a light pink eye shadow, with her eyes outlined with black eyeliner, with a small tint of light pink on her cheeks and red lipstick. Her hair was in a slightly messy bun that hung loosely, held together with 2 stylized chopsticks clip. Some wisps of her hair were used to frame her face. Serena was wearing a pair of black tight fitting jeans and a white tube top with red linings. Some glitter were put on her shoulders, making some parts of her shoulder glimmer a little.

" Girl you look so good you make me look bad," Mina announced.

Serena turned to look at Mina and smiled: " It's thanks to all you guys,"

" Okay, now that you are ready. The girls and I are gonna go and get ready too okay?" Rae said.

Without giving it much thought which she should have, Serena nodded and watched the girls leave the room. Hearing the " See You Later" of the girls, she cleaned up her room. She gathered all of her cut hair and placed them in the plastic bag that she had found lying around.

Serena heard the door open and saw Heero Yuy standing beyond the opened door. She froze and unknowingly glared at him.

" Yeah?" Serena asked.

Heero didn't answer, he just came in the room and sat down on the chair in front of his desk and turning on his laptop. Serena just watched him and finally snapped herself out of it. ' Forget him!' thought Serena as she picked up some more of her hair on the ground.

" You cut your hair?" came Heero's deep voice.

Serena continued picking up her hair and gave a nod.

" Why?" Heero asked. He didn't really know the reason behind his curiosity, but he couldn't stop himself from asking.

Serena just shrugged and straightened herself, before she headed out the bedroom. Heero glared at her. ' Something's wrong with her…' Heero thought before going back to his work.

*~*

Serena walked to the kitchen her hands full of her hair. She opened the bottom cupboard and dumped the hair in the garbage can that they had inside. She looked behind her and stared at the door where she had left Heero. She didn't want to be so rude to him. She didn't even understand herself as to the reason why she was being rude to him. But that was the only other choice she could take at the moment.

She sighed and shook her head in disapproval. ' Heero didn't do anything wrong… But this is the only way I could think of getting over him.' Serena thought as she turned her body around, facing the bedroom door, which she was watching.

A knock came from the front door, shaking her out of her reverie. She answered the door and found her friends. They were all dressed and ready for a fun time.

" Ready?" Rae asked, an excited smile on her face.

Serena nodded and went out of the dorm she shared with Heero. She was different from the rest of her pals. She was the only one who wasn't feeling anxious on going to the club they had planned. She was the only one with no smile on her face.

" Serena what's wrong?" Amie asked.

Serena looked up at her, her eyes glowing with a far away look.

" Yo girl snap out of it! Were going to have fun and forget of our worries and bad times!" Mina announced. She clapped on Serena's back, with a force that made Serena slightly lunge forward.

" Ouch!" Serena moaned. She looked at Mina and saw the mirth in her eyes. Serena shook her head and nodded.

" You're right! Since when had I made a guy make me down? Let's go party, and meet some guys!!!" Serena hollered, shooting her fisted right hand above her.

" YEAH!!!" the girls exclaimed in unision.

And the group of girls marched down the hallway, on their way to the club that would help their friend Serena, forget about Heero Yuy.
