Chapter 4

Decisions

"Heero, no!" Serena shouted as he pushed her out of the elevator and drew his gun when he saw OZ running toward the elevator.

"We must protect you," Ami shouted grabbing Serena by the arm as the other scouts ran over to the two.

"And without showing our powers," Mina added as they quickly went into Heero and Serena's dorm room.

"NO! We have to help them!" Serena shouted fighting against her friends as tears ran down her face.  "How could this be happening already?" She questioned giving up.

"It's because of the energy that you gave off when you gave us our memories back," Rei said to her. "Now that Darien has joined our enemies he knows how to sense our powers."

'We're going to have to be really careful about what we so no," Ami added.

"But now our Future is really messed up now with Darien joining the other side," Serena said sitting down on the couch.

"That future was changed after we defeated wise Man," Ami said. "We all knew but could not tell you just in case.

"How could you not tell me? It's my life that is mostly affected," Serena said to them. "You're not the ones who have to make sure the universe stays at peace." 

"Yes we know Serena, but we were sworn to secrecy by your mother," Lita explained to Serena.

"Now you have a new mission of your own," said a voice that Serena remembered from her past.

"Mother," Serena said as her mother appeared in front of her.

"I know it's really hard for you to deal with this now," Queen Serenity said, "but you now have another mission and a new future."

"What will my mission now be?" Serena asked as her mother pulled out a rose.

"You must find the other prince and give this to him," she said. "Then he will have the power to become Tuxedo mask." She said giving the rose to Serena and disappeared.

"So now you know," Mina said.  "All you have to do is find the prince."

"That's easy for you to say. Do you realize how long it took Darien and me to get together?" Serena said.

"I wonder where those guys who were with you are?" Mina asked thinking about the blond.

"I saw you eyeing up the blond," Lita said. "The one with the long braid looks like my old boyfriend."

""Lita," Rei said, "everyone looks like your old boyfriend."

"Oh, and what about the black haired dude?" Mina said making Rei blush.

"Okay, so we know who everyone likes, but how does that help me?" Serena said as the 5 boys walked in, and they didn't look well either. "Oh my gosh, what happened?" Serena said running over to them. Heero was the worst off.

"We're fine," Heero said, but it was obvious that he wasn't. "Are you all right," He asked as Serena reached him.

"I'm fine, but we can all see that you're not," Serena said trying to help him, but he pushed her away.

"We're okay," Quatre said to Serena as Heero went to his room, "we have all had much worse." 

"Are you going to introduce us to your friends?" Rei asked.

"Oh right," she said remembering that they didn't know each other. "Rei, Lita, Mina, Ami, this is Wufei, Duo, Quatre and Trowa."

"Nice to meet you ladies," Duo said eyeing Lita up.

"Duo, you can flirt later," Heero said coming out of his room already cleaned up.

'Wow, that was fast,' Serena thought to herself, 'unusually fast."

"Now we need to ask you some questions," Heero said sitting down on the couch next to Serena.

"Wait, Serena said, 'I know you have questions about what happened earlier, but we can't answer them now."

"Why? As you may have noticed what ever you do puts you in danger and everyone else in danger as well," Wufei said.

"It's fine. We'll deal with it Wufei," Serena said brushing it off.

"Now, if you wouldn't mind, we have to get going. Ya know, school tomorrow," Mina said as the four girls slipped out the door.

"Bye." Serena said to her friends. "Now if you'd kindly go to your rooms," she said to the other guys. "I need some sleep before school tomorrow."

"C-ya tomorrow Heero," Duo said as him and the others walked out of the room.

"Hn," Heero responded.

"Well, I'm going to go to bed," Serena said standing up and walking half-way across the room before collapsing again.

"You all right?" Heero asked helping her sit up.

"I'm fine, just still a little weak from earlier today," she said looking up into his eyes.

"Who are you?" He questioned looking into her sweet and innocent eyes.

"A girl form the past," she answered to him as their faces got closer together. Just as they ere about to kiss, Serena remembered about the rose and what her mother had said and quickly pulled away and went to her room quietly saying good night.

"Hn, onnas," Heero said to himself sounding like Wufei before he himself went to bed

*Next Morning*

"Good morning Heero," Serena said happily getting some cereal, the night before completely forgotten.

"What's with the rose?" Heero asked his annoying room mate seeing the beautiful red rose she held.

"Nothing special," She said, "I'm going to be at Rei's room after school if you need anything. We have some 'catching up' to do."

"Hn," was all Heero responded with. 'Good' he thought to himself, 'now I finally get rid of her for sometime so the guys and I can get some work done.'

"What are you thinking about?" Serena asked him. "You look in deep thought."

"Hn."

"Fine, don't answer me, but don't come crying to me when you have a mental breakdown from not talking," Serena said getting her bag. "C-ya in class!" She finished leaving for homeroom.

"Everyone," The teacher in homeroom said getting their attention, "we have a new student."

"Hi, I'm Serena Tuskino," Serena said looking around the room seeing that all of her friends were in this homeroom too.

"Hi," Everyone said back.

"You can go and sit behind Duo, right over there."

"Okay," Serena said.

"Now class, I have some announcements to make. As you all know the annual Formal Ball is coming up next week, and if you want to go, you will all be required to have a dance partner or you will not be allowed to attend."

Sighs would be heard throughout the room as they thought about who they would ask.

"Who ya gonna ask?" Duo said turning around to Serena.

"I don't really know anyone, but I know someone who will go with you," Serena said.

"WHO, WHO, WHO?"  He asked excitedly.

"My friend Lita, over there, the one with the brown hair and green eyes," She said pointing to Lita.

"Thanks," Duo said walking over to Lita. Serena was soon surrounded by Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre.

"Wait, I already know what you want. Wufei ask Rei, Quatre ask Mina, and Trowa ask Ami."

Heero sat down as the others left just as the bell rang, "See ya later Heero!" She said heading to her first class.

*AFTER SCHOOL*

"Hey Heero," Duo said walking up to him with the others behind him, "who you gonna ask to the dance?"

"Ya, who ya gonna ask?" Quatre insisted.

"Hn, what makes you think I'm going to go?" Heero said glaring at them.

"Well," Trowa said "too bad for you."

"Ya, we all have dates," Wufei added.

"Then who are the ladies?" He asked to see if they actually had dates. He found it hard to believe that someone was going with Wufei.

"I'm going with Lita," Duo said.

"I'm going with Mina," Quatre said.

"I'm going with Ami," Trowa said.

"And I'm going with Rei," Wufei said.

"We just met them yesterday and you already asked them to a dance!" Heero said.

"It was actually Serena's idea," Wufei added.

"I know," Duo said with one of those looks on his face, "you could go with Serena!"

"Hn," was all Heero had to respond to the comment.

"We all see how she looks at you and you look at her," Quatre said to his friend. "She likes you."

"What's with the rose she's been carrying around all day, did you give it to her?" Trowa asked changing the subject.

"I don't know anything about it," Heero responded getting up and heading to his room.

***MEANWHILE***

"I'm so excited!" Mina said happily jumping around.

"Why?" Serena asked noticing all of her friends were cheerier than usual today.

"We have dates to the ball!" Rei said.

"And it's all thinks to you!"  Ami said giving Serena a hug.

"Hey, It was what you wanted," Serena responded.

"But do you have a date?" Lita questioned.

"I don't know if I'll even go. I don't really know anyone here," She responded.

"What about Heero?" Ami suggested.

"We all see how he looks at you and you look at him. He likes you," Mina added.

"I don't know. He's so stubborn and I don't want to have my heart broken again like Darien did," Serena said blushing.

"If you want to give this rose to someone you're going to have to take chances," Rei said.

"I just don't know anymore," Serena said trying to get out of the conversation. When are you going dress shopping?"

"Serena, we know you're just trying to get out of this conversation," Ami said to her friend.

"I'll figure something out on my own," Serena said. "But do tell me when you're going dress shopping so that I can go with you."

"Actually," Lita answered, "we were planning to go in a few hours this evening."

"After dinner we're all meeting in the lobby," Mina added. "Do you want to come?"

"Yes! Why else would I be asking?" Serena said sarcastically.

"Well, we better get going. Meet you in an hour Serena!" Rei said as the four girls left. A few minuets later Heero and the rest of the guys came in from where ever they were.

"Hey everyone!" Serena said with cheer in her voice. "How were your days?"

'Just peachy," Duo answered with his usual enthusiasm

"Thanks for the suggestions earlier," Quatre said.

"No problem, I knew they would say yes," She responded.

"Are you going with anyone yet?" Trowa asked

"Not yet. I just went through this with my other friends so don't ask me why," She responded wondering if Heero hade a date yet. "If you're going to stay and seat make sure you clean up."

"Why onna, too lazy?" Wufei said.

"DON'T call me a Lazy onna," Serena said walking over to him and pushing him up against the wall." You do not want to say that to me ever again"

"Meow, someone's has PMS," Trowa said as Heero got up to save Wufei from the humiliation.

"Sere," Heero said pulling her away form Wufei.

"I better get going, see ya!" Serena said quickly going out the door to meet the girls. "Why did he call me Sere? That sounds so familiar," she said quietly to herself walking over to the girls.

"What was familiar?" Mina asked Serena.

"Sere, that sounds familiar," Serena responded to her friends.

"Who called you Sere?" Rei asked.

"None of your business," Serena responded. "I was just wondering where I've heard that before."

"Maybe it was something from your past on the moon?" Ami suggested as they caught a taxi to go to the mall.

"Did Darien ever call you that?" Lita asked

"No" Serena responded confused, "so it has to be from the moo, in the memories that we haven't gotten back yet."

"Let's not worry about that no, and just buy our dresses," Mina said as they arrived at the mass heading to their favorite store.

***A few Hours Later***

"Finally, I think I'm going to get this one," Serena said coming out of the dressing room to show her friends.

"It's beautiful Serena," Mina exclaimed.

Serena was in a white spaghetti strap dress with laces up the back and sliver sparkles in the shape of a crescent moon left on center on the bottom.

"I know, I love it!" Serena said spinning around.

"All right already," Lita said. "We're already late to meet the guys back at the dorm.

"Oh, you have dates?" Serena questioned as they went to change.

"Actually we're all going over to your dorm and watching a movie   since your TV is the biggest!"  Rei said.

"You didn't ask me?" Serena yelled.

"The guys said Heero wouldn't mind," Lita responded.

"Was It Duo who told you this?" Serena questioned paying for the dress. All of the girls' dresses were similar to Serena's, but had their own uniqueness to them. Rei's was red and was sparkly but was shorter and had sleeves that looked like flames with mars symbols all over them. Ami's was an ocean blue and was very wavy and had mercury's symbol cut our all around the bottom.. Lita's was an emerald green, was short, and had a four cut in the chest for her symbol. Mina's was golden yellow and has the shape of the sign of the Venus in it.

"Yes, why is that?" Ami questioned.

"He'll do anything to get on Heero's nerves. But I'll cover for you guy saying I invited you over," Serena said to her friends.

"Thank-you," Rei said hugging her friend.

When they arrived back at their dorm building, the girls dropped off their things and all went to Serena and Heero's room.

"Hi everyone," Serena said cheerfully entering into the room and putting her bag into her own bedroom.

"What took you all so long?" Duo questioned walking up to Lita.

"We had to wait for Serena to pick out her dress," Rei said sitting down on the floor next to Wufei.

"That's because I was busy helping all of you find yours dim wit," Serena snapped back at her.

"Meow, chill out Serena," Quatre said sitting next to Mina on the floor. "That's the second time tonight. I think Heero's starting to rub off on you."

"What movie are we going to watch?" Serena asked ignoring Quatre and sitting down on the couch next to Heero.

"Lord of the Rings," Wufei said hitting the play button.

"Great, we haven't seen it yet!" Rei said as they all steeled down and began to watch the movie.

A few minuets in Serena was already starting to doze off because it had been a long day for her.  Every minuet she had to worry about what Darien was going to do next. She now had an enemy who could sense her where ever she was.

Everyone could tell Serena was going to fall asleep any minuet. In fact earlier they had all made bets on the amount of time before she fell asleep. What surprised them was that when her head fell onto Heero's shoulder, he didn't do anything.

"Heero," Duo questioned, "are you feeling all right?"

"Hn," Heero responded giving Duo an evil glare.

"She's doing pretty good adjusting here," Rei said looking at her sleeping friend.

"Why do you say that?" Trowa asked

"She had a lot of trouble adjusting last time Darien left her," Lita responded.

"She was really depressed and was not acting like herself," Mina said leaning back into Quatre's arms.

"But they ended up getting back together in the end. I don't doubt that he was cheating on her the entire time," Ami suggested.

"The poor girl," Quatre said.

"No wonder she asked where you were when we first met her, she had no one else," Heero said remembering when they had first met looking at the beautiful angel leaning on his shoulder. "I'm going to take her room, you guys better get going. See you all in the morning."

"Okay, bye," Wufei said as they all left.

Heero gently picked the sleeping beauty up and brought her back to her room and laying her on the bed. As he was sitting down beside her  she awoke from being moved.

"Thanks," She said quietly to him and then sitting up beside him.

"Why did you ever get back with Darien?" Heero asked her.

"Oh, him, I thought we had a chance because of our destiny, but , as you now know, that destiny was never mind to happen and I have to find … never mind."

"What do you have to find?"

"The rose, who it belongs to," she said drifting off to sleep in Heero's arms.
