Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing. They belong to
their respective owners. The song that I used is called "Clown" or
"Doukeshi" which is one of Trowa's Image songs and does not belong
to me. If you have a chance, listen to it.
Thank you to all those who review!!! I'm glad you guys are enjoying it and
are really anxious to see our couples get together. Hey I want them to hook
up too but love doesn't happen like kaboom! over night but I'll do my best
and hopefully you guys won't be disappointed in the end.
In this story, Endless Waltz has not happened yet and things will be slightly
out of order. Like I said I haven't seen Endless Waltz yet (I know I can't
believe it either), so I am probably winging it and making things up. I still
haven't decided to use the Endless Waltz timeline or not but but hey
who cares right as long as Serena and Trowa get together which they will I
assure you. BE WARN: THIS STORY WILL BE LONGER THAN RAINY DAY MAN AND WALK
ME HOME!!!
Anyway, before you guys clicked that 'Back' button, on with the story.

Chapter 2: *That* Day for him
It has been two years since he woke up in the hospital *that* day. His
life had never been the same again. He had got most of his memories back yet
in the back of his mind, he knew that he was incomplete like a part of him of
missing yet present at the same time. He could not explain the images of a
blond haired warrior that he rescued from the deadly blast or the blond haired
rabbit that he had rescued from that fallen branch. With time, he came to accept
that the two were one in the same person: Serena Tsukino. He was a Gundam
Pilot and he had been trained to make connections like that. He noted the
similarities in body figure, height, voice, appearance and especially hair style
between the two girls. Finally, he came to the conclusion that he could not
get Serena out of his mind especially after *that* kiss.
He felt that he was slipping away but when the two lips met, he felt
a burst of energy poured forth from her mouth and giving him strength. He
felt her opened the closed borders of his mind and heart and gave the gift of
memory. After the intense battle in space, weeks after returning to L3, the
Zero System had triggered the rest of his memories.
Two years after the peace treaty between Earth and the Space
Colonies, it has been relatively quiet in terms of battles. He had been
working under Lady Une with the rest of the Gundam pilots as Preventers
to keep that peace alive.
Of course, he was still working with the circus on L3 with Catherine
Bloom. There were times that the older woman noticed the changes in her
"brother". She knew that he was happy and unhappy at the same time. She
knew behind that mask, Trowa Barton the clown was missing a part of himself.
Sometimes she would see him just staring into Space after an act, unmoving.
She knew that his job as the pilot of Heavyarms sometimes caused him to
reserve himself. Like today, he and the guys had just came back from a routine
mission and all the guys had stayed for the show.
Right now, Trowa was in one of his moments, still in his clown suit.
Catherine was a few foot behind him but then she realized that she was not the
only one, Quatre Rebeba Winner came up next to her.
"Miss Catherine, congratulations on a great show.
"I think Trowa deserves most of the credit."
"No, Miss Catherine, you were really great tonight. The manager has asked
me to come get you and don't worry I'll go talk to Trowa."
"Thank you, Quatre."
(Trowa)
There is a full moon today. Coming back from space I forget how
beautiful it is from the Earth. Of course, there are the abandon Lunar Bases
from the OZ Wars, still within the moon lies many mysteries and wonders
in her glow.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
It's so cold
I'm getting frozen in the moon's embrace ---
And so it's all pouring down on me
All alone in the night that just draws closer and closer
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
During tonight's show, I felt a deeper void than I had every felt before.
Two years had passed still I couldn't find a single thing on a Serena Tsukino.
With all my hacking and researching, my search had been futile. Sometimes
I wonder if it had only been a dream but when I think about those crystalline
eyes, at the brink of tears I know that it was real. But I keep all that hidden
behind my mask because as Heero said emotions may compromised a mission.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
And this tear
It's always hidden in this smiling mask
But there's still that painful truth in my heart ---
Left somewhere there
And while performing in the middle of the light,
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Even though I don't show it, I still feel it. It is times like those that I
will gaze upon the moon hoping to find answers or at least ignore the
emptiness and the cold that I feel.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
I'm just supposed to feel nothing but happiness
I'm just supposed to leave behind all my sadness
I feel loneliness --- but the show must still go on
I could get tired but not forget such things as dreams
I could never bring myself to disappoint one's love
And although my heart still remains in this emptiness,
I can never leave behind my memories
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
"What are you thinking about Trowa?" The voice came from behind me. It
was Quatre, funny I didn't even hear him come in, I mut be losing my skills
as a Gundam Pilot. Then again, he's one too.
"Nothing, just the moon."
Quatre was surprised to hear an answer from his stoic friend. He usually
stands in the shadows in deep thought, seeing yet not seeing at the same time.
He realized that his friend has changed whether Trowa knew it or not. For
the last two years, Quatre had noticed him looking up into Space and every
time he asked what he was thinking about, he would always get the same
answer: the moon. When Trowa mentioned the moon, he said in his forlorn
tone with a wishful thinking like he was reminiscing about the past. Quatre
did not know what happened during the weeks after that battle in space when
he used the Zero System. He only knew that when Trowa returned to Space he
only had part of his memories. Once or twice, he heard Trowa talked aloud
in his sleep about somebody named Serena. Quatre did not know who this
mysterious Serena is but he doubt that he would get the answers from Trowa.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Learn all you can about that clown
And once again,
I'm walking away from the spotlight
Embracing only these pretensions
Yet tonight, this curtain would still rise
And this tear
Always stopping short within the shadows of a smile
But that painful truth in my heart is only mine ---
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
"What about the moon?" He asked instead.
"Nothing, I remembered a book that I read about myths and I came upon
the story of Selene, the Goddess of the Moon. After that, I feel that I am
drawn to the Moon, so mysterious yet so beautiful. How can something so
barren be so beautiful?"
'Personally, I don't know why I am so drawn to the moon but all I know
that I get a sense of comfort just in her moonlight. During those times,
I feel completely open, nothing hidden beneath all the clown makeup and
that smiling face on the mask.'
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
I'm only crushed, then painted, then… nothing more…
And while playacting for such a drag of time,
There is that happiness abandoned…
Using the sadness locked up deep within me,
I now create that smile on my face…
And those small eyes would surely shine
the innocence of the children…
And I'll be building now what I believe in
Gently with the spirit right infront of me…
Let the mask fall off…
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
'Selene sounds like Serena. Hmm, I am really pushing it aren't I.'
I felt Quatre standing beside me and look up into the sky towards the moon
and then I heard him say,
"It is liked these myths. Each of them are so mysterious yet so
beautiful perhaps there is more to moon than meets the eye."
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
I'm never used to feeling that thing called love…
I'm never ever shown just what love is…
There is no more than once of that brightness for me ---
But my heart is overflowing with a strange something…
A clown also knows what a tear is…
A clown also knows what a tear is…
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
