A/n: I hope this chapter will make up for the short chapter after not updating for so long.

           Quatre was standing outside of his classroom holding up buckets full of water. Finally he had gotten caught for day dreaming on this time he wasn't thinking about what could've happened between both him and Usagi, more along what he hoped would happen between them. He only got caught because one of his thoughts were one of a regular guy his age and he couldn't help but blush heavily. The teacher had been calling his name trying to get his attention wondering if he was ill, but after a while realized he had been daydreaming when his attention was finally caught and he began blushing even harder. He figures it was worth it, because lunch was only a few moments away and he could finally tell her he knew who she was.

"Hello, Serena." Ami snatched away Serena' notebook and read what she had been writing and shook her head. "I told you to forget about him."

"Who??" Serena snapped out of her reverie as Ami showed her the page that had 'Quatre Rebarba Winner' written all over. Serena blushed and took her notebook. "When did I write that?!?!" Serena asked in complete and total shock while blushing.

"Just now!!"

"Really???" Serena cocked her head to the side.

"Man, that's sad. You've got it so bad that your subconscious knows it's there." Ami said.

"I can't help it I mean I've only known the boy since forever." Serena put her head down on the desk and sighed.

"What do you mean by that??"

"Forget it Ami.. I don't feel like thinking about it." Serena said as her mood changed to a nostalgic one.

"Serena??" Ami shook her.

"hmm??"

"The lunch bell rang a few moments ago. Aren't you coming??"

"Sure.. I'll be there in a few minutes." Serena said and Ami left hesitantly. Serena sat at the table with her head down. 'Quatre… it's been a couple of weeks and you still haven't recognized me. Maybe I should stop the games and just tell you who I am.' She thought. After a while she stood up and walked right into Heero. "Hi Heero."

"Hnn…"

"oh come on I know you aren't still upset that I threatened you to play twister with us!!"

"Not really.. just confirming that I'll be coming to your house tonight to work on the report."

"Uhmmm Yeah I guess… if you don't mind my step sister thinking you're my boyfriend and asking a million and one questions."

"At our house it is then." Heero said and walked away leaving Serena in front of the cafeteria. She was about to walk inside when a voice caught her attention.

"Usagi.. come sit at lunch with me!!" the polite tone of Quatre Winner made her stop.

"Sure.." She said pulling her lunch bag out of her back pack and they walked up the stairs to the roof of the school.

"So how are you??" Quatre asked wondering how long it would take for her to realize he called her Usagi.

"I'm doing fine and…. Did you call me Usagi a few moments ago??"

"That's what I've called you since forever.. right??" He asked watching her eyes shine over with tears. "And you're till mildly scatterbrained." He commented playfully and she shoved him over.

"That isn't nice Quatre Rebarba Winner!!" She said tackling him and they wrestled for a while just glad to be back together as friends, not really paying much attention to the physical growths either have gone through and just knew that they were back together as friends. Only after they stopped and was laying on each other did they really notice the changes and untangled themselves from each other and began eating lunch. "So when did you finally realize it was me."

"Friday afternoon. I stopped by the Cemetary. To see your parents… and it kind of clicked."

"I see." She said with a small smile and they finished their lunch and came back down before the bell rang. "It's great to know you do remember me finally." She gave him a hug.

"I'm just glad to have you back.. even if you aren't the gentle Teddy bear I used to know." He hugged her back unaware of the violet eyes that watched them with fire burning in them.

"Makes sense why he was reluctant to help me." Duo Maxwell said to no one. "He has her for himself, and didn't tell me." He said feeling a weight on his heart. "The last person I expected to do such a thing did it." Duo sighed watching them.

      A Few words were exchanged between the two and he shook his head, she laughed then kissed his cheek earning a blush out of him followed by another hug and the bell ending lunch had rang and the two seperated. Duo watched them leave in their separate direction and felt nothing but pure jealousy towards the blonde he called his best friend. He stalked off to the rest of his classes knowing he'd corner Quatre later. He wasn't sure when but he would soon.

"Innocent and polite my ass." Duo muttered angrily.

*~*~*~*~*~

              Many hours later Duo Maxwell hadn't return to his home, not that the guys were worried about him they just figured that he had been dragged in by Ami Mizuno to finish the report because she had made it clear that she wasn't doing all the work by herself, but that was far from it. The boy with the braid was seething, wallowing in jealousy and burning anger. As far as Duo knew he was in some sort of love.. possibly lust, but if that was the case why did it bother him to see the blonde boy with the girl of his dreams.

          He glanced at his watch that read 7:20, he'd have to return home soon if he didn't want to be convited of some sort of crime he would have to hurry while Mina was still over the house. He walked up the stairs of the house and stood outside the door for a few moments paying no heed to the car in front of the house.

        He got in and unfortuntely Quatre was in the kitchen with what appeared to be a photo album blushing slightly with a small smile apparent on his face. He glanced up at Duo when he saw something move in the corner of his eye. His smile faded a bit and his insides seemed to cringe. He now remembered th promise he had made to Duo Friday and well now knowing that Serena is Usagi that changed a lot of things and despite how Duo feels for Usagi, Quatre really wants to be selfish for the first time in his life, but a friend's heart was on the line.

"Hello." Quatre said forcing a smile through.

"Hi." Duo said quickly with an obvious attitude.

"uhmm the others went out for Pizza so if you're hungry could you hold off for a little bit??"

"Whatever."

"So how's the report coming out."

"Finished it." He replied getting a soda out of the refrigerator.

"That's nice." Quatre frowned a bit. "So what's.."

"Did you ever talk to Serena for me??" Duo asked not facing him. Quatre's eyes widened, did Duo know that Quatre liked the girl himself??…. no he couldn't. "Well did you??"

"No I uhh…" he couldn't help but turn red, he was a terrible liar. "Forgot."

"Save it, Winner." Duo said with a cold bitter tone.

"Duo??"

"Don't even pull that innocent act. God, Quatre, you're the last person I would expect to do that!!"

"Huh??"

"Just tell me the truth.. are you or are you not with Serena." He said trying to control his anger.

"What?!?!" Quatre somehow knew the words were coming but hearing them and know them were two different things.

"Just answer the damned question, Winner." Duo knew he didn't want to know the answer to the question. He knew that regardless of any word that would come out of the boy's mouth would set him off, but at the moment he didn't care.

"Duo, I don't know where you got the idea but.." Quatre was cut off finding himself pinned to the wall.

"You know how much I liked this girl.."

"And I know how much she hates you." Quatre said.

"Yeah because you had to intervene!!!"

"No… it's not because I intervened." He said and the door closed moments later the blonde walked into the room. She froze and gaped at the guys with pizza in hand.

"Problem here??" She aske narrowing her eyes at Duo. He let The blonde boy go and walked away after grabbing his slice of pizza. "Are you ok?? She asked Quatre.

"Just fine." He said giving her a small smile. "Just fine….."

*!*!*!!*!*!*!*!

                    Days later Duo was still slightly upset. He wasn't even sorry for what he had done to Quatre, truth is that he would do it again if he could. It usually takes Duo a while to se ethe light in people and for him to be comfortable around them, but for Serena she was something special. Despite the fact that he thought that maybe he's known her from somewhere else before but he does care about her. He admited he seemed to over react, but still he's lost past loves to guys he knew as friends.. like Rei he had attempted to a relationship with Rei.. Chad suddeny showed up and she was off the market.

"Ok Quatre.. I'll see you later." The voice of Serena rang out. "And maybe I could practice worshiping the ground you walk on someother time Minako Aino."

"Uh-huh.. now move along so me and my man can be together."

"Uh-huh… sure." Serena said walking away. "Baka onna. Still trying to earn his attention. You would think she'd learn by now he doesn't want her." She said walking past Duo but stopped realizing she did. "Maxwell, can I ask you something??"

"It's better than the glares you've been sending at me since last week." He muttered.

"As much as I'd hate to tell you but I don't like you very much." She said. He knew it was true but he never understood why. "Come and walk with me." She said grabbing his hand and dashing out of the school building.

"About time she wised up and decided to take the braided baka." Mina said not noticng the Aqua haired girl with her head in her locker. She glanced up and saw Serena walking out of the school with Duo's hand in her own and just at that moment she felt her heart sink slightly.

"She doesn't like Duo!!!" Quatre said trying to pry his arm out of Mina's hold.

"So she's holding his hand for her health."

"More like for his health. She had something important to tell him and if she isn't making contact with the person she gets paranoid and well verbally abuses people." Quatre said.

"and you would know that how??" Mina asked letting him go.

"She's my best friend and most favorite person in the Universe so just lay off!!" he walked away.

"Quatre!!! I thought I was you most favorite person in the Universe!!!" She squealed. "Quatre?? Quatre!!!!!!" She chased after him.

"hmmm…." Ami stared at Quatre for a moment realizing maybe Serena was on the right track by longing for him for so long.. and it might have to be up to the Genius to help.

"Duo, listen to me and listen good. As much as I appreciate every attempt you've made to get me to like you and such I have to say that I can never feel about you that way." She said with a sigh.

"how can you not like me and you don't know a thing a bout me."

"That's just it.. I do know you." She said. "Duo I have been to this school before. I mean the day before I haven't come back to school you mortified me in front of the whole class." She said pulling one of her odangoes out.

"I'm not following." He said.

"I was fat once." She said yanking the other one out. "I just happened to lose a lot of weight and fix my confidence in myself." She said watching him study her face and slowy it seemed to click in his mind. " I did appreciate the times you were my friend.. but it was only outside of school and away from the others you were my friend, but in school and with the others..."

"I was an ass." He said feeeling his heart twist into a knot. He reached a hand out and touched her cheek. "Talk about Karma." He said sighing. "I guess this is what thet mean by 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'" He sighed as she backed away from his touch. "I don't blame you.. I was an asshole and now I'm paying for it at the price of heartbreak.:

"I'm sorry if it hurts you but Duo… btu think of everything you've put me through, back then." She said.

"I know.." he said turning to walk away. "I know.."
