Disclaimer: You know the typical neither GW or SM belong to me, but here's a new one… White Reflection isn't mine either.. it's a Two-Mix song and the ending of Endless Waltz.
It was the night before the Valentine's Day concert and Usagi had been slightly upset. For a good amount of time up until now Quatre had been avoiding her. He barely glances at her, when they do talk it's like she's a total stranger to him and worst of all he doesn't even return her calls. She just had to know what was wrong with him and to do that is to talk to him… in person.
"Hey, Babe!!" Duo's loud voice yelled opening the door.
"Duo, I'm not."
"I missed you!!" He held her in place as the only other person in the living room sighed.
"I'll see you in the morning then." The saddened voice of Quatre said. "Hi Ami."
"Quatre." Serena said muffled by Duo's shirt. When the coast was clear Duo let her go with a frown set on his usually happy features. "Why did you even bother to come here after you put his heart through a grinder??" He said earning a perplexed face from her.
"Put his heart through a… what are you talking about Duo Maxwell?!?" She pushed him aside and walked into the house only to be jerked back by her wrist. "Duo Maxwell if you don't…" She turned but saw Heero holding onto to her. She narrowed her eyes a bit.
"Don't go up there as irate as you are."
"I am not irate… just slightly confused." She sighed sitting on the couch of the living room. "Do either you know why he's been avoiding me?" She said unaware of the two additions to the room.
"He thinks you cheated on him." Duo blurted out as she looked up horrified.
"I-I'd never do that." She looked at them.
"The day you told him you were canceling the after school thing for your 'cousin' he found you and Seiya in the gym flirting…"
"Flirting?!?" She seemed ready to gag at the simple thought. "God do you know how gross it is trying to just put me and Seiya together!!" She declared. "Man if I and he ever got together our kids would be retarded from how close our genes are."
"So it's confirmed??" Heero asked.
"Yes!!" She said. "Seiya Kou is my cousin!!" She said holding her stomach. "You made me sick for a moment." She groaned.
"But all of the closeness…."
"Cousin stuff…" She shrugged. "Besides I think Seiya has the hotts for Mina anyway!" She said but sat up. "Wait Quatre just thought I had fidelity problems?!?" She said as the two boys looked at each other. "So he can't trust me!!" She nearly screamed. "God I worked so hard to have the surprise set up and he can't trust me!!" She stood up exasperated. "Thank you for clearing things up for me." She stuck her nose up in the air walking past Trowa who had been listening from the kitchen. Without hesitation Trowa followed her with long strides he caught up with her at the end of the walkway.
"Serena…" He grabbed her wrist. "What's going on?"
"The all knowing Trowa should know." She bowed her head knowing he wouldn't leave her alone. "Seiya was going to pass the limelight over to girls and me tomorrow night at the concert. The five of us would be in the spotlight." She said. We were going to perform for everyone. I wanted him to be there."
"I'll make sure he comes." Trowa supplied.
"I don't even know you and you're still nice to me…" She said.
"I know you well enough to know why Quatre cares about you." He said and she just walked away without a single goodbye. Trowa looked up at the house seeing the dark room that would be lighted signaling Quatre was very well awake.
*~*~*~*~*~
"He thought what?!?!" Rei gaped at Serena and the news they had heard from the girl who was almost in a fit of tears.
"But that's silly…" Seiya shook his head that was free of the ponytail as of now.
"Apparently he doesn't know that and… honestly I feel hurt and betrayed that he doesn't trust me!!" She lowered her head allowing her bangs to hide her eyes.
"I'm going to show that boy a piece of my mind!" Lita rolled up the sleeves to her sequined shirt.
"Don't bother… I'm pretty sure he isn't here."
"He'll be here… Duo and the other guys are coming." Ami said.
"Then he'll probably leave by time we go on."
"You mean you're still doing it??" Yaten asked placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Sure... it's Valentine's Day and even if mine has gone sour." She looked up at the others forcing a grin through. "GO!! Enjoy the fair until show time!!" She added before leaving them all behind. They looked after her retreating form with wry looks. Yaten and Taiki looked at each other with a short nod.
"We'll be back." Taiki said.
"Come on… Let's go find Usagi." Mina grabbed Seiya's hand while his black hair waved behind him.
"Well, let's try to enjoy ourselves I guess..." Ami said as Rei and Lita nodded and they left the stage area with their long coats on making sure their clothes were covered.
"Alright… this is where I bid you adieu." Duo said as Ami approached the group of five.
"Hi, guys." Ami grinned at them all. "Glad you could all make it."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Hnn…."
"…."
"Nice to see you, Ami."
"You as well, Quatre…" Ami nodded. "I hope you ALL will be staying for the concert. It's a real treat."
"The Three Lights performing... real treat, indeed Onna."
"Just stick around… and you might find some surprising news." She laughed dragging Duo away.
"That was strange." Wufei looked after them.
"Indeed." Trowa added his say in the whole thing. Just at that moment Usagi walked by in her coat looking completely broken. The three remaining guys looked at Quatre who just then walked away in another direction with his eyes closed. Inside he was hurting real bad but the pain was replaced by anger as he saw Minako Aino dragging the one and only Seiya Kou.
"Seiya… Where could she be??"
"Mina, calm down Serena's hurt, not suicidal… she'll be fine." Seiya said almost guiltily. "Besides she promised to be there so we'll wait an hour and then if she doesn't show we'll find her." He finally calmed down the twin of his oh so lovable cousin. Both people then walked away unaware of the irate blonde who was being restrained by his remaining friends.
"You have no idea what you want, do you?" Trowa asked the blonde who was struggling against his grip, and fairing very well too. "You get upset with Usagi for supposedly cheating on you, then you walk away seeing her walk away being completely broken and now you're ready to bash the guy's face in."
"He broke her heart…" Quatre said with a sigh. 'I can't seem to let go…'
"Are you sure about that?" Heero piped up.
"What do you mean?."
"Are you sure he broke her heart? For some reason when it comes to her some other guy broke her heart. You never seem to notice that when you two have problems she is always getting hurt…"Wufei said and the three boys let him go. Quatre watched them leave him behind and he sprinted off to find Usagi. Constantly glancing at his watch and seeing members of their group with their dates but in long coats. After an hour he couldn't find her but instead ran into the crowd heading to the Concert. Before he could blink he got dragged into the place by the one he didn't expect to see here… Dorothy Catalonia. When they stopped moving he gave her a funny stare and she laughed.
"What are you doing here??"
"Quatre, have you forgotten the tradition you and I have yet to break?" She said and he felt his stomach sink. God he had been so wrapped with his feelings with Usagi he totally forgot that Dorothy was coming to spend the entire weekend with him. Before it had been Quatre, Usagi and Dorothy but for some reason or another the two girls could never get along and it definitely wasn't because Usagi was a bit hefty.
"I guess I've been a bit…Preoccupied." He supplied an answer to the girl. Before anything else could be exchanged Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten had come on stage earning screams form the crowd.
"Student's of Peacecraft Academy, Are you ready for some music?!?!" The three guys asked earning more admiration from the crowd. "Well, you'll have a bit more to wait!" They replied getting disappointed groans from the students. "Right now… I Seiya Kou will be passing the mic off to the one person most of you ignore but I know and love… She has yet to find her calling and well."
"Seiya you're babbling." Taiki muttered but Seiya didn't stop talking.
"I present to you… Planetary Moon!!!" Seiya said getting smacked in the head by his comrades and they left the stage. It went dark and a song began and the song started. In the Back of the stage a girl with short blue hair had been lighted up wearing a blue shirt and pants covered in sequins that sparkled as she moved gracefully and slowly, then to her right a hot tempered priestess in training was lighted up and started moving in a similar manner with the red sequins moving, Soon followed was a blonde superstar Wanna-be in an orange outfit, then a martial artist girl in forest green, followed by another blonde in all pink. The girls opened their mouths as words from a song that used to be her favorite rang out… White Reflection. Before he could blink Serena stepped up and opened her mouth to sing the words he knew in verbatim.
I feel your love reflection
In your eyes as they gaze back into mine
Writing a distant, neverending story
He closed his eyes as the words left her lips. No sooner the music picked up speed and the movements of the girls picked up as well. The stage was then full of the lights flashing from the girls' outfits. Why did she have to pick a song that applied to them in more ways than one?? He knew she picked it because well… let's face it it's made by a Japanese group and she was the only Japanese girl in the group… After an apology to Dorothy and a promise to see her tomorrow afternoon he left the concert only pausing when he heard the next verse.
As if throwing off the sadness and pain,
I flap my wings,
and in my heart, I spread wide
the wings of courage that you've given to me…
