nDisclaimer: 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 hope this chapter will make up for not updating for so long.. It's just that I now have a job, and tryign to decide if I want to start dating my best friend who recently asked me out… OH well.. I'll see you wonderful reviewers later.. ja ne!!
Duo couldn't help but watch the blonde who had stolen his heart and broken it with the truth. Only when she took her hair out and mentioned about having more weight to her did he recognize the face. He felt horrible. She had been pretty cold to him since day one and he can see wh y… The day she found her parents died he mortified her in front of the entire class. Sure it was all kids' stuff back then but he didn't know his actions could damage a person mentally, not until Quatre had told him about the times she cried over his on/off friendship with her. Yes, now he knew the true meaning of the good old golden rule.. 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' In other words be a good person otherwise the evil deeds you have done to other people will come back even worse than you had done to them.
"Maxwell!!! START RUNNING!!!" The angry voice of Naru called out making him remember he was in gym class.
"Hard to believe that she's such a sweet person outside of school." Duo muttered and sped off around the track.
"Maybe if you actually paid attention more instead of daydreaming you wouldn't get yelled at." Duo said suggestively to the boy who had stopped speaking to him. Then Quatre sped up to finish his final lap. Duo watched him finish his lap and sighed gently. He had ruined a friendship that only grew stronger after he forced Quatre to admit that he did like Usagi. Quatre was only doing what his heart told him and Duo got angry at him for that.. man right about now he was wishing the God of death would just take his life ending the pain that was in his heart right about now. After finishing his ten laps he tried catching his breath and saw Ami trying to teach Serena how to swim, in the pool on the other side of the park.
"I can't believe how she keeps trying to worm herself into his heart!!" Mina said from behind Duo.
"Hmm??" Duo looked at her.
"that Serenie.."
"Serena."
"Whatever.. She doesn't know when to quit. Everyday I see her with either him or Bookworm. I know her tricks though.. she'll try to get into his trust by making water girl trust her.. then she'll sink her claws into him."
"Mina you have a strange imagination… you should write books." Duo said.
"I'm dead Serious Duo.." She said getting angry . "Look at her and water girl.. playing around like they're best friends."
"They are best friends."
"Oh
that's right.. you've got it bad for little miss wanna-be." Mina said, then a
glint shined in her eye. "How about you help me.."
"No.." Duo said suddenly.
"You don't even know what I was going to ask."
"Try to get her away from Quatre and put an end to her 'plan'??" Duo asked.
"Yeah.. I mean you'd benefit. You can have her and I'll ave Quatre."
"No." Duo said watching Serena walk out of the pool sripping wet with her figure showing from her bathing suit. "She knows I like her and if she decides to be with me.. she'll come around."
"Duo!! Nothing happens by just sitting around and waiting!!!" Mina called after him just as the whistle blew signaling the end of Gym, giving everyone a chance to shower befor enext class. Serena and Ami were dripping wet smelling heavily of chlorine and a plan devised in Mina's diabolical mind. She laughed and waited until everyone was in the showers.
*~*
"Serena we're going to be late for English again!!" Ami calle.d
"Just go without me no need for you to be late too!!" Serena said wrapping a towel around herself.
"You sure??"
"Positive.." Serena said wringing out her blonde hair.
"Ok.. I'll tell Ms. Unazaki that." Ami said rushingo ut of the locker room. Serena dried her skin off and went to her locker with her clothes in it. She opened it only to find stuff that doesn't belong to her. Her clothes were completely gone. What was left was a mini leather skirt and a shirt that probably wasn't legal enough to be called a shirt. She searched other lockers for her clothes but they weren't in there.She sighed and just pulled on what was there. She was glad to be tiny this time and she left her hair down and headed to class. AS soon as she stepped out of the locker room she was met by Quatre who too seemed to be running late for his next class.
"Shouldn't you be somewhere??" She asked him. He looked at her and blushed rather heavily while gaping at her. "Look at my face and you might be able to not become… excited." She said making him turn redder.
"You weren't wearing that before." He said unable to remove his eyes from her body. He held out his jacket to her.
"Yeah someone stole my clothes and replaced them with this outfit." She said pulling on the jacket. "You're a doll." She kissed his cheek and took off running. "I'll return it later.
"No need…" He said in somewhat of a daze. He was glad to have study hall this period otherwise he'd be in so much trouble for cutting. He rested his head on the wall behind him and closed his eyes trying to regain composure. "Gorgeous." He murmured unawar of the smirk that played on violet eyes a few feet away.
"He's so innocent mentally wise it's funny." Duo said to no one.
"I just didn't think his feelings still existed for her." The voice of Relena Peacecraft came from behind Duo. She had this love struck look on her face: "How romantic!!!" Duo frowned and walked away.
"Me go class now.." he said not wanting to get caught in one of her ramblings about Heero.
Many hours later school had let o ut and Serena still hadn't found her clothes and well was still wearing Quatre's outfit. That didn't settle well with Mina at all. She had planned on getting her expelled because the outfit went against the dress code they had, but the jacket kept her from getting caught. To top it off it was Quatre's jacket..
"Mina calm down,." Rei said.
"CALM DOWN?!?! She's trying to worm her way into his heart."
"Like you've spent the last four years doing."
"Four years already??" Mina asked.
"Yeah.. since eighth grade after Blimpie left." Lita pointed out just as the hallways cleared leaving Quatre at his locker. Mina fixed her hair as her friends rolled their eyes and walked away. Mina started to walk, poised and confident. Quatre closed his locker jumping slightly seeing Mina.
"uh.. Hello." He glanced at his watch quickly.
"Hey.." She said trying to sound seductive. "how about you and me.. go someplace where we can be alone??" She drew circles on his chest with her finger.
"why??" He took a step back.
So you can finally admit how much you love me silly!!!" She pinned him against the locker. "…unless you're going to let me know now."
"Uhmm.. Mina…" He really needed to set her straight but then it was too late and she got on her tip toes and kissed Quatre full on the lips.
"Serena!! How can you forget your English book?!! You have to start on your half of our oral report." Ami fussed at the girl still in Quatre's coat.
"I know, I know…."
"Honestly you'd forget your head if it wasn't bolted to your neck." Ami said.
"I know.. anyway let me grab my book and we'll be on our…. Way." Her words slowed as a horrible sight filled her eyes. A slight gasp from Ami confirmed she wasn't seeing things.
"You know what.. We start your half of the report.. tomorrow." Ami slowed her words as Serena took off the jacket and let it hit the floor with a thud, then she walked away.
"Sure.." She said.
"SERENA!!!!" Ami yelled making Mina pull back form Quatre. She saw the blonde leave the school and the aqua haired girl followed her. Quatre was staring at the jacket laying on the floor as his insides churned making him feel sick.
"Look.. she brought back the jacket." Mina said ready to put it on but Quatre's hand bolted out and took it from her. He looked different, he looked angry.. heartbroken and angry.
"Mina." He said sternly.
"Yes, dear??"
"I'm not your 'dear,', your 'boyfriend', your ' love, I'm nothing to you. Haven't you understood yet… I never really liked you as a person." He said knowing it was harsh but he probably lost the only chance he had to tell Usagi the way he felt about her.. because of Minako Aino.
"W-what are you talking about.."
"Mina, listen to me.. Just about every friend I made you found a flaw and destroyed their confidence because of that flaw. You have no conscience, I would've thought you'd develop one after you mortified Usagi the day her parents died, but no!!!" He said watching her look heartbroken. "I'm sorry but someone as cruel as you can't have my heart like you want." He walkeda way f eeling slightly guilty, but completely without hope of being with his true soul mate now.
