Serena looked down at her pasta and sighed. Food sounded good when Quatre mentioned it but now it just seemed, well, unnecessary. How could she even think about eating when...when... Serena swallowed hard and looked up at the people around her. Quatre and Relena had a concerned look on their faces while Trowa and Heero weren't even paying attention.
"Serena, are you sure you're not hungry?" Quatre asked.
"I'm sorry Quatre I just..."
"It's understandable. If you want to go up to your room and sleep some more, you're more then welcome to."
Serena did her best to smile. "Thank you Quatre." She stood up and walked in the direction of her room.
Heero grunted and stood up to follow her. Quatre reminded him once again not to hurt her. Without really listening he walked in her direction. When he reached her door he was about to open it, then thought better. He knocked on the door. No answer. He did it again with the same results. Next he tried slamming on the door. Still no answer. With no other options, he opened the door. He looked around and found Serena was not in her room. Then he noticed there was a balcony and Serena was leaning on the rail. He was about to confront her, but then she spoke.
"A forced amnesia? But how?" she asked no one. "What about you, my precious friends and senshi? Was that all make believe? And what about Crystal Tokyo? All A dream? I can't accept that." She rested her chin on her fist as she looked over the beautiful scenery. "Can I though? This is my chance at leading a normal life without having to fight, without having my destiny and life set in stone. I can be free here." She shifted her hands that she rested her head on. "Destiny? Wasn't my destiny to marry Darien? But now he's dead... Maybe me being here is destiny. Maybe I'm not free after all." Tears made their way down her pale cheeks. "I'm forever used."
'I can relate,' Heero thought. He shifted his weight to his left side, accidentally bumping into a dresser. Serena whipped around and stared at him 'Shit.'
"How... how long have you been standing there?" she asked as she wiped her tears away.
"Just got here," he lied. Before she could scream at him he spoke again, "I tried knocking but no one answered."
"What do you want?" Serena asked.
"You're wound. It's gone."
Serena lifted up her shirt a little to look at it. She chuckled nervously. "I guess it is. What doctors can do today is amazing." Heero didn't buy it. She threw her hands up. "I don't know!"
"Stop lying to me."
"Stop lying to me!!" she shouted.
"I heard everything. Now answer my question."
"...I can't."
"Why not."
"I just can't!" she yelled. "Get out of my room."
"No." he said and sat down on her bed. "I'm not leaving until you talk."
"Better get comfy kiddo because I'm not going to spill my secrets to just anyone who walks in. Don't you understand? I've kept things from my own family and friends! Why should I tell a total stranger who I am."
"I saved your life," Heero stated.
"I wish you would have left me to die," she spat.
"Now why would I do that?" he asked.
"Please just leave," Serena said. He shook his head and lay down on her bed. "What are you doing?!" she shrieked.
"You told me to get comfy. I am."
"You're mean," she stated and sat down at the other side of the bed. After a few seconds, she too lay down.
"Are you going to tell me?" he asked.
"When you tell me your secret I'll tell you mine," she murmured.
He visibly tensed up. "What do you mean?"
"I don't know. I can just sense something about you. So when you can tell me your secret, I can tell you mine," she said and closed her eyes.
"But I can't tell you," Heero whispered, for snores were already filling the room. He watched her sleep for a while, and then he too closed his eyes and fell asleep.
~*~*~*~
"Wake up," Quatre said as he lightly shoved Heero. He opened his eyes and grunted in protest. "I hope you can explain sleeping in the same bed as my sister."
Heero sat up as fast as humanly possible and looked around. Sure enough, Serena was right beside him. He looked back at Quatre. "It's not like that."
Quatre sighed. "Heero I trust you. Tell me what happened."
"I said I wasn't moving from this spot till she told me about her wound and she said get comfy. I just fell asleep and so did she," Heero stated.
"Well, come on. Let's have breakfast. She can eat when she wakes up," Quatre said.
"Hn."
Serena woke up thirty minutes after they left. She got up, showered, changed, and left the mansion without anyone noticing.
