"Quatre are you okay??" the voice of Dorothy had to stir him out of his thoughts once again. He should be paying more attention to the girl in front of him because she was leaving in a few hours, but he was focused on what had happened almost a week ago at the Valentine's Day concert… he was living proof of that Trowa had said to him the day he first saw Usagi and Mamoru together: 'Jealousy makes a man stupid and feeble to his true nature.'

"I'm-"

"Don't say you're fine again because you've been out of it for sometime now. Now what's wrong?"

"Listen… it's something I have to work out myself."

"Your broke someone's heart didn't you??" Dorothy pinched his cheek in a playful manner. "Come on… Quatre just tell me you'll probably feel better."

"I think I ruined the best relationship I could ever have." He said.

"What did you do?"

"I got jealous."

"Well it happens…"

"…but you don't get it! I just made assumptions. A few weeks ago she introduced me to a guy she knew. Then she cancelled our plans to spend time with her cousin and I lost my head when I saw her with him. I figured she had been lying to me and I don't know how but she found out my assumptions and we haven't been talking since."

"Where did you learn mistrust, Quatre??"

"I…" His words trailed when he saw Michelle and Hotaru enter the restaurant with panic written all over their faces. Both females spotted him and seemed to be contemplating who the girl he was with was. Finally both women approached the table.

"Hi…" Hotaru said to the girl. "If you don't mind we need to borrow him for a moment." She said missing the gaping stare on her. Quatre followed both women to a few tables away. "Don't tell me she's the reason why Usagi won't talk to or about you!!"

"Hotaru!!" Michelle scolded and Quatre sighed.

"No that's not why…"

"Listen we're not worried about why… truth is we want to know if you know where she is."

"Huh??"

"Serena never came home after the concert. We've been searching for her frantically but we can't find her anywhere." Michelle looked ready to break down in tears. Quatre on the other hand was at a loss.

                She stared out the window looking at the happy people walk by as the sun began to quickly set. Why hadn't she gone home?  She doesn't know herself but… she knew that she needed to think she sighed and looked at the goggles in her possession. She was going to have to return them eventually, meaning she would have to see him and if she knew him well enough he'd want to talk to her about the situation and what was there to talk about? It's as plain as day he didn't trust her to be true to him and that was that.

"Odango!!" The voice of Seiya Kou knocked on the bedroom door.

"Enter…" She said realizing it came out in a way that would mark her as friend with Heero Yui. "Come in…" She replaced the last statement and the boy poked his head in the door.

"Michelle called again…" He said. "She was crying…"

"I was going home anyway… I got my thoughts together."

"Anything you want to talk about for now then?" A white haired young man poked his head in just under Seiya's.

"Are all three off you out there??" She asked just as the third head popped through before they all fell in the door and all over each other making her laugh before she caught a glimpse of the setting sun. "You've all been nice…" She sighed.

"Well you were always nice to us." Yaten pointed out while smoothing out his white locks.

"Yeah well I was hoping for a moment on stage…" She smiled at the three guys. She grabbed the goggles. "I'll return this shirt whenever I get it washed Yaten." She pulled on her shoes and ran down the stairs and out of the house.

                Within moments she found herself outside of the house he shared with the others… If she was lucky one of the others would answer the door. She raised her hand to knock on the door but only lowered it. She closed her eyes trying to gain back her nerve and all she could see was the night of the concert. He was near the front of the stage with Dorothy… could she do it? Well maybe the doorbell will work just as well. She was ready to ring the bell but just pulled her hand back completely just as it started to rain… hard.

"Why can't you do it?" A voice made her jump. She turned around and saw him standing there with his hands in his pocket just allowing the water to slide down his face where his hair was starting to stick to. She didn't answer him and they stood there looking at each other. He then approached her with his eyes lowered to open the door. "No one would've answered anyway... they all went out. Want to come in?"

"I just came to return these." She held the object out him and his eyes closed completely.

"Why??"

"Because they're yours aren't they??"

"I mean you're telling me it's over… why?" He slicked his wet hair back and out of his face.

"Quatre…" She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. "Since I came back there's been nothing but complications between us." He finally looked at her.

"And I'm sorry for that."

"I just want to know what happened to that great boy I used to know. He rarely got jealous and he trusted just about everyone… and honestly I don't think you know what happened to him."  She sat on the couch knowing she wouldn't be able to walk away from the conversation.

"Time happened to him."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"It makes a lot of sense to me!" He said. "When we were fourteen I never imagined you leaving the Cinq Kingdom. I always thought I had four years to tell you that I was in love with you before we'd separate for college. Then that day came and you did leave, I sent you letters and you wrote back... but one day they just stopped. For some reason I felt like I'd never see you again unless I searched for you myself. Then you just re appeared and…"

"Everything changed yeah I know the story…" She said hastily.

"No you don't. During those four years I learned a lot of things… for once everything was in perspective. It was those four years that I became aware of the harsh realities of the world. It was then I realized if you want something you have to work for it and fidelity is a rare thing." he paused.  "Before I actually went firing off at the mouth that night when I told you how I felt I began to doubt everything. I mean here we are old friend who haven't seen each other in almost four years and you were gorgeous. I saw no reason for you to ever care about me anyway and that hurt. Then Mamoru came into the picture and I felt like maybe I didn't have a chance with you at all! I even tried warning you he was no good but you were just too involved with him. I never trusted Mamoru and the fact that you were with him despite my warnings drove me crazy. Then when I finally had you in my life…"

"You were afraid I'd up and leave?!?!" She asked. "That's not like me!!"

"Yeah well it wasn't like my mother to do and she did!!"

"What??"

"The same year you left my mother left our home to be with a guy she introduced as distant family to us. Apparently the guy wasn't related to her because it was also uncovered that she was having an affair with him. Not once did I ever dream that could happen but it did."

"Quatre we're only eighteen. It could happen and I'm not saying it will but all you can do is trust me when I tell you something." She said gently and he stood up and ran upstairs saying something about coming right back. Almost immediately the electricity flickered before turning off completely and she could've sworn she heard something behind her. "Q-Quatre??" She questioned in the dark feeling her hear speed up. She stood up trying to find either the stairs or the doorway; she found the stairs first and ran up them. "Quatre, Where are you??" She asked not receiving an answer. "Winner, if you're behind this I will personally kill you!!" She kept walking and feeling the wall for a door. She found one slightly open. "Quatre??" She reached to push it open but it opened before she could touch it and she stumbled backwards.

"Usagi??" A light from a flashlight shone on her. "Are you okay??" He asked finding himself on the floor after she swept his feet from under him.

"Don't scare me like that again!!" She sighed. "The electricity went out." Her voice nearly whimpered as she grabbed his hand.

"Come on." He helped her up and they went into the room he came out of. Once inside she could see a couple of candles had been lit. "The electricity is out on the entire block." He pointed to the window.

"Right…" She said uneasily and sat on the bed.

"You're still afraid of the dark??" He asked lighting several more candles.

"Maybe…" She looked up at the ceiling. "Is this your room??"

"Yeah, it is." Those were the only words that sounded for a few moments.

"Why'd you leave me downstairs so suddenly??" She broke the unusual silence.

"I came to find something."

"You knew the electricity was going out?!?"

"No I didn't know. It was the thing I was going to give you for Valentine's Day. Probably has little value coming from me, now, but I can't keep it." He glanced at the box on the table near his bed and she opened it. Her jaw dropped as she sat up to get a good look at it.

"It's beautiful…" She looked at it. "Quatre you know I'm a sucker for jewelry." She looked at him. "Come help me put it on!" She giggled happily almost as if they hadn't had problems previously. He smiled and sat next to her and hinged the charm bracelet around her wrist. As soon as that had been done she hugged him. "Listen to my words… We're young so let's just take things as they come, Okay??"

"Okay…" He said meeting her gaze before boldly placing a kiss on her forehead. She returned the favor with a gentle kiss on his lips followed by a more involved one.
