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: HI!!!!!!! I just realized something.. I'll probably be able to update at least once a week so if any of you people have patience it will all be posted soon…
"So you're the Neice of a super model, A little sister to a race car driver, and the sister-in-law to a famous Violinist."
"Not to mentio cousin our history teacher who is an uprising fashion designer. " Serena said watching Mamoru shake his head.
"What does that make you?? Second rischest kid in the universe??"
"Nope.. more like fifth.. because my Father used to own NASCAR… but he sold it because when my sister decided to race he didn't want it to seem she made it to the top because of a handicap.:"
"Seriously??"
"No that was a lie." Serena said watching him laugh. "but my father did own the team my sister owns now."
"Your father gave it to her??"
"No it was left to her.. a few years ago both my mom and dad died in some freak accident." She said looking at her milkshake. He reached a hand out to cover hers.
"Sorry if it brought up bad memories."
"No.. it's just fine." She blushed a bit. "I know they're gone.. but the pain I feel mainly came from the torture I got as a kid. I was the main target for being picked on and well you see I had bad self esteem and thought without my parents' comfort I couldn't go on with life."
"But you have so much family to live for.."
"I know… and they helped me change who I was." She gave a gentle sigh. "So enough about me.. tell me a little bit about yourself."
"Well, I'm a guy who is… probably a bit spoiled when it comes to finances. I like girls, blondes especially and ones with blue eyes." He said making her blush a bit, then her gaze shifted a bit to see Ami waving like a nutcase.
"Ami!!" She cut him off and Ami approached the table dragging someone behind her… someone like Quatre.
"I thought it was you.." She said sitting down at the the table after forcing Quatre to sit next to Serena. "So who's your friend??"
"Ami this is Mamoru.. Mamoru this is Ami Mizuno."
"Ah.. the genius." Mamoru said kissing the back of Ami's hand making her frown a bit, and Quatre scowled.
"And this here is.."
"Quatre Rebarba Winner." Mamoru smiled a bit too charmingly at Quatre. "It's been a while, Ne??"
"A long while." Quatre responded with a 'polite' smile of his own.
"you know each other??" Both Ami and Serena asked at the same time.
"Hai…" Both Quatre and Mamoru said.
"I've known Mamoru for eleven years.. the same amount of time I've know Serena." Quatre pointed out.
"How come you've never mentioned this charming guy then??" Serena asked as Quatre furrowed his eyebrows at Serena Then he looked at the menu to hide the pained look that took place in his eyes.
"Quatre and I have had… a very rocky friendship." Mamoru said. "We would always spend time playing childish pranks on each other.
"Actually Serena.. I have mentioned him quite a few times before you moved to America. Except I've always referred to him as Darien…" Quatre said still focusing his eyes on the menu.
"I see, you preferred to call me by my middle name." Mamoru said with a smile when he noticed what little eye contact Quatre made.
"Darien.." Serena tapped her finger on her chin. "The name sounds familiar… oh well.." She shrugged. "I'll be back…" Serena stood up and walked away as Ami excused herself and followed Serena. Once inside the empty bathroom Serena took her odangoes out and started brushing her hair. Quatre wished Ami hadn't dragged him here today… He and Mamoru had so much against each other that Mamoru would be the only exception to Quatre's non violence rule.
"Serena… I've been missing something haven't I??" Ami asked.
"What do you mean."
"you know the whole knowing Quatre for eleven years."
"Oh.. I was hoping not to go back to those memories.." She stopped brushing and leaned against the sink. "You see when I first came to the Cinq Kingdom I was in the first grade.. I was a little bit on the chubby side but still rather thin. Quatre was probably my first friend I made followed by Duo, Mina, Rei, Lita, Ken, and Chad." She said remember when they were all best friends. "For somereason I just kept gaining weight and by the fifth grade I was WAY over weight. We made it to sixth grade and finally were able to come to Peacecraft Academy. Mina then had started puberty first and was the 'cool' girl in our group and then the other girl's started as well.. me I turned out to be the late bloomer and they made fun of me over that. As time went on they began picking on me over my weight… they mortified me everyday.. I used to cry all the time and Quatre would be by my side holding me anyway. I left eighth grade because my parents died… and here I am again."
"…" Ami had nothing to say
"What a wonderful girl that Serena is…." Mamoru said with a satified smirk on his face.
"I know that personally…" Quatre lowered the menu and gave a gentle.
"It would take a ruthless and heartless person to break her heart and an extremely caring and charming person to mend it."
"What are you up to??" Quatre gave Mamoru a hard stare.
"Is making a friend bothering you, Rebarba??"
"Making a friend is one thing but if you hadn't conveniently been following me last week you wouldn't even think to go near her."
"You brought it on yourself you know.." Mamoru said. "Apparently you have been leading that other blonde's heart on a string for a long time.. and it took for you to hurt a friend to make you admit how much you didn't care for her."
"what are you up to??"
"I don't know yet.. but this one is whimsical, carefree and innocent…" Mamoru grinned. "Maybe I can taint that a bit… It seems that whole leading hearts on strings is fun…"
"Don try it.." Quatre said tensing up with anger towards the dark haired guy in front of him.
"Well I won't be as evil as you and do it for years.. maybe until I have her eating out of my hands."
"She's a fragile girl. Her childhood has been traumatizing enough and it's a miracle she hadn't done herself away.. She will always be scarred from those things and one wrong move could shatter her for good." Quatre said gripping the glass of water in front of him a little too hard. Mamoru only cracked up laughing.. an annoying maniacal laughter.
"Why do you find it impossible for me to actually like a person, Winner??"
"I don't find it impossible, you just don't know what to do when other people's feelings are involved. Everything has to go your way or you'll simply walk away to the next person without so much as an apology for breaking their heart." Quatre said just as Serena and Ami came back.
"Hey.. you promised me a trip to the movies." Serena said without sitting down. Mamoru grinned.
"I want to stop at the ice cream parlor." He said as she scrunched her face up.
"We're going to be late to the movie… and I really want to go."
"Just come on.. I want something from there and we can go to the mall after, instead. I heard that movie was boring anyway.."
"Fine.." Serena complied with a slight disappointment. "See you later Ami… Quatre."
"bye.." Quatre said staring intently at the table in front of him. When he was sure they were gone he couldn't help the next words that were going to come out of his mouth. "He's going to break her heart."
"Like you did??"
"That was a complete accident. I was trying to tell Mina that I don't care for her in that sense but she wouldn't get the picture and let me speak. So she kissed me.. I was pushing her off but she was digging her nails in my shoulder. She only let go after realizing others were there." Quatre sighed. "Forget it.. just watch after her ok.." he walked away leaving Ami behind.
"Why do they only make things harder for themselves??" She asked to herself not noticing the person sitting at the table next to her.
"I don't know.. why do people in general make things out to be harder than it seems??"
"D-Duo…" She looked to be slightly shocked.
"Yeah I decided to follow you after watching you attempt to kidnap my best friend. I kinda had something to tell him but you took him before I could."
"Oh.. Sorry." Ami blushed a little bit.
"It's ok.. I'll tell him when I see him at home." He sat down across from Ami. Then silence took over between them as they sat a bit unsure of what to say to the other.
"So what did you have to tell him??"
"Uhmm.. Early this morning, Mina's mother passed on." He said as Ami's eyes widened. "Apparently she had been fighting off Cancer for almost six years…."
"What???" Ami frowned.
"When we were all friends way back in 4th grade Miss Aino had to have a blood trasfusion. The Donor she had was infected."
"But the blood is supposed to be tested for that kind of stuff."
"A screw up in the system I suppose. Some of it had gotten through and well this is what happened. Her mother had been in Chemo-therapy but it seems that as they were focusing on one thing she had tremors they hadn't detected and by time they did there was little they could do."
"I knew Mina was evil, but I guess she had to take her frustrations out on something" Ami said.
"To make it worse though is that Quatre had finally broken the news that he didn't care for her in the way she did for him and well she took the news hard."
"Ouch…" Ami said staring at her hands. "Can we change the subject.. it's beginning to depress me."
"I know what you mean." Duo said raising one of his hands a bit but put it back down in hesitation. "So… Who's the lucky guy who has your heart??" He asked making her look at him in shock.
"W-what??"
"When we last spoke you told me about love and and the silly things people do for love. You said you knew from experience and I guess I just want to know who's the lucky person."
"Why would you be interested in who I have my heart set on dating??"` She asked avoiding eye contact.
"Because I want to know who I have to out shine." His voice came out slightly shaky She looked at him in shock and noticed he wasn't looking at her and his face held the cutest amount of red across his cheeks.
"Well, do you really want to know??" She asked and he nodded just a little.
"Well, He's nice, a little bit of a slacker school wise but his sweet heart makes up for it.. He's got the nicest violet eyes and the longest hair I've ever seen on a boy before." She said waiting for a response. When he finally looked up at her shock across his face then he smiled and placed his hand over hers.
"That's great…" he said.
