Disclaimer: I dun own Sailor nor do I own Gundam wing. This will go for all chapters since I hate repeating myself like a broken record.
A/n: I know this fic seems to support the fact that one should be slender to get people to like you.. well to be honest that's shit too so plain and simple this is fiction and doesn't lay anywhere near my beliefs in life.
She stared at the person she saw in the mirror. Her face was puffy and red from the tears she thought would never cease. The taunts of the other kids still rang fresh in her mind, not to mention she still wishes to have her parents well and alive. She closed her eyes and still felt his arms around her trying his best to take her hurt away and make things better for her. Sure she was slightly embarrassed to have him hold her like he did all the time but she let him because he would stick by her side even when she thought he wouldn't.
She slowly raised a hand up to the mirror and touched the glass trying to envision herself in his arms forever. What she saw was only wishful to her. She saw herself.. as a thinner girl in his arm. He was whispering sweet nothings in her ear making her sigh with contentment. But a simple blink of her eyes made realize it won't happen because she'll be fat for all time. She raised her fist ready to shatter the mirror.
"Don't do that.. not only will you slice up your knuckles you'll get seven years of bad luck." The Voice of her Sister-in-law rang out to her ears.
"Oh well.. maybe I'll get hit by a car and die." She replied.
"Do you really think that would happen??"
"No.. I'd probably break the car and be perfectly fine." She said.
"No, I doubt that would happen, Serena" Michelle set down a tray of food in front of her. Michelle took the mirror and left the room. She came back moments later empty handed.
"I thought I had asked you to not call me Serena."
"Why?? It's your given name, Usagi is your middle name."
"But nobody calls me Serena, Even my old teachers had come accustomed to calling me Usagi."
"But not your teachers here. They'll call you Serena." Michelle said watching her pick at the food.
"I don't see why you and Amara eat this health stuff. I'll eternally be fat so…"
"Stop right there.." Michelle cut her off. "That is another reason I've decided to call you by your given name. From what you've told me.. the name Usagi has too many bad memories. So what I've decided to do WITH Amara's help is that I'll home school you and Amara will help you change how you look."
"That will take a miracle."
"Well, Miracles do happen to people who try to make them happen." Michelle said. "Please just give it some thought.." She said leaving.
"Quatre!!!!" Mina approached the boy who has been prertty depressed since Usagi had left. Apparently he hadn't heard her because she had called out his name a second time. "Quatre!!" She stopped in front of him.
"… yes??" He hesitated to answer her, he still hadn't looked at her face. He was looking at the ground with the feeling of emptiness inside his body.
"I uhmm.. Do you want to uh.." She hesitated. A glance at her friends gave her an extra push to try again. "Do you want to go to the movies with me. I mean not just me but with Rei and Chad and Lita and Ken, you know the whole group uh.."
"I'm busy.. One of my older sisters wants to spend some quality time with the brother she never had a chance to get to know yet." He said telling the truth.
"Is it true you have Twenty-nine sisters??" She asked in wonder.
"Yes.. all of us have the same father just different mothers, now are you done??" He noticed Rashid standing by the limo waiting for him.
"Uhmm.. I guess maybe we could hang out some other time."
"Maybe" he gave her an empty answer and walked off to the limo. As soon as he was inside he let out a long sigh, a long heartfelt sigh.
"How was school, Master Quatre??" Rashid asked.
"It was alright." He said turning his blue eyes to the window watching everything go by as a blur.
"Just alright?? Nothing interesting happened??"
"Not really." Came his empty reply. He went inside his house and saw five of the siters her knew watchign t.v.
"Hi Quatre!!" All five girls said reminding him of that old show.. Charlie's Angels.
"Hi…" He said and stalked up to his room. The five girls tore their attention away from the t.v. and watched their brother go upstairs. As soon as he got there he plopped down on his bed. He had twenty minutes to change out of his uniform before his sister came. During fifteen of those minutes he would be moping still.
He missed Usagi to no end. He stayed with her the entire time when she heard about her parents' death. He stayed the night over her house trying to help her cope with things and go through the funeral and everything. He held her when she cried and made her smile from time to time. He felt needed when she was around, like he had meaning in his life. He had a reason to hold her, to spend time with her, to give her gentle kisses on her forehead and cheeks without confessing the way he felt about her.
Yeah he was practically in love with her, but he could never tell her that because she would think he turned on her to be with the populars and mess with her feelings. She was always so self conscious about how she looked because of her weight, but when he was with her he forgot about her physical form and just saw the sweet and gentle girl she was, and when he held her there were time she pushed him away and made some sour joke about her weight, but he never thought of her in that sense. To him she was just a giant teddy bear one he would take care of and cuddle with for all time. Another glance at the clock told him that he should be getting ready for one of his older sisters named Carla. He got up and changed his clothes. Within moments the sister he had been awaiting had come.
"God I have never ran so much!!!" Serena plopped down on her bed tired. She felt her muscles already starting to ache.
"There's more to come though." Amara smirked from the doorway. "But you did good for your first day."
"I just kept thinking how much I wanted to show those stupid kids from school and the mean name they had given me." She rolled over to her side.
"That's good motivation." Amara said gently while trying to not get upset from what her little sister had told her. "But you really should stretch now or you're muscles will tighten up and it'll hurt more." Serena stood up and looked at the empty place on the wall where her full length mirror had been and a head mirror was.
"Why did Michelle do that??" She asked stretching out her arms.
"It's always best you don't judge yourself. You over do it and bring harm to yourself." Amara said.
"I'm sure…" Serena sighed and sat on her bed. She laid on her back as Amara closed the door behind her. "I don't think I can do this…" She sighed as the taunts that haunt her came back to mind and tears welled up once again...
"I told you her fat ass would break it one day!!" The scream of Duo Maxwell rang through the air. Usagi looked at the chair and realized everything had been unscrewed and set lighly so it would be easy to break.. even the petit form of Releana Peacecraft could easily break the chair. The sound of laughter became a faint buzz to her. They soon began screaming out the name they called her all the time… 'Blimpie'
"I-Ididn't know we got Earthquakes in space!!!"
"No!! Wait that's just Usagi."
"Listen, Everyone knows about your little crush on him, but get it through all that fat to your little brain. You'll never have him. HE on ly hangs around you because he pities you. I mean look at you and look at me I've got looks, popularity, brains and a body. You've got fat!! Catch my drift."
"Stupid kids…" She muttered rolling onto her side as more tears fell down her face. "but they're right.. I am fat.. and I'll eternally be that way." She said surprised herself at the tears that fell from her eyes, but she remembered his gentle eyes and how much he comforted her.
"Seven and a half years is a long time…I'll always be here for you.. you and me are best friends forever."
"Quatre… I didn't want to be your friend forever." She whishpered to no one while holding herself. "I'll be back one day.. You'll see and I'll be waiting with open arms waiting for your love." She murmured as sleep over came her.
