Chapter Nine
Serena shook the sleeping girl, Just what do you think you are doing?
Amy rolled over and buried her head under a pillow, she mumbled.
Get up, Serena tugged on Amy's arm, Right now!
Amy sat up groggily, she asked, rubbing her eyes.
Serena glared down at her blue haired friend, You should know why, Amy.
Amy shook her head, I'm sorry, I don't know why.
Serena glanced over to where Mina now sat, waiting for instructions. Mina, what is wrong with her? Serena turned to face the other girl.
Mina shrugged, I'm not sure, Lita had mentioned something about Amy being a little different, but I hadn't noticed anything.
What are you talking about? Amy looked up at Serena, What do you mean about me being
Serena sighed, Quatre told the guys about your little chat. Everyone agrees that it was completely inappropriate and wrong for you to be talking about things like that. Especially to someone so impressionable.
Amy stood, wrapping a sheet around herself, Sorry, I didn't think it would be a big deal. He's an adult isn't he?
Serena looked over at Heero who stood in the doorway, How old is Quatre?
Heero answered, He has been very sheltered though.
Amy smiled, He is an adult, and I thought he was cute. I thought maybe he and I could play a few games together.
Serena stared, shocked at her friends comments, Is this the same girl who used to break out in hives at the thought of a love letter?' She thought as she tried to form words.
Heero walked towards Serena and stopped when he stood beside her, Amy, Quatre isn't very worldly, he doesn't understand your games. He grew up with thirty older sisters, so to him, playing doctor is literally that. He doesn't understand the deeper meanings.
Amy looked down guiltily, I thought...
At that moment Quatre came bounding in, Amy! You're awake!
Amy smiled sadly at the boy, What's up?
I came to see if you wanted to play now, Quatre laughed happily, You had so many fun games yesterday.
Trowa walked into the room and grabbed Quatre's arm, Come on, didn't we just have a talk about her games?
Quatre nodded, But everyone else is in here, I thought it would be O.K.
Trowa led the other boy from the room, Well, it isn't. Now please come along.
Quatre followed Trowa out, Bye, Amy!
Amy waved halfheartedly, Bye, Quatre.
Serena looked back at her friend, Amy, why don't you get dressed. We'll wait in the other room and then we can all talk.
Amy nodded, All right, I'll be out in a moment.
Serena took Heero's hand and led him from the room, Come on Heero, Mina you too.
Mina followed behind, I'm going to call Raye and Lita, they might know more about this.
Use my phone, Serena released Heero's hand, I left my door unlocked so you should be able to get right in.
Be back in a moment, Mina said as she walked from the room.

Heero slouched down in a chair and waited. He looked over at Quatre who was in the kitchen cooking, oblivious to everything around him. Heero sighed and turned to Trowa, Does he even know what is going on? Heero asked.
I don't think so, Trowa shrugged, He isn't very observant to these kind of things.
Wufei knelt down beside Heero's chair, Why are we questioning her? Why don't we just kill her?
We can't, Heero shoved the other boy away, Serena claims that Amy is really a good person, she just as become misdirected over the years.
That is what she said about Rini, Wufei grumbled, standing up.
They will be here in a moment, Mina shouted as she came running into the room.
Serena said from her perch on the back of the couch, I hope Lita can help.
I do too, Mina slumped down onto the couch, I can't believe Amy has changed this much.
I can't believe it takes her this long to get ready, Wufei mumbled from across the room.
Serena looked at Mina startled, He's right! It has never taken Amy this long to get ready.
Mina leapt up from her seat, I'm going to go check on her.
Serena jumped off the back of the couch and ran after her, If Amy has run off...
Mina reached the door and began pounding on it, Amy, what is taking you so long? Come out now!
Heero stood and walked to the waiting pair, Would you like me to get Quatre, he has a key.
Serena nodded,
Heero walked into the kitchen, Can I borrow the key to your room?
Quatre looked up from the cookies he was stirring, I don't have it, I left it in my room when I came out.
Heero groaned,
Duo asked sitting up excitedly from his chair.
Go get your lock picks, Heero walked back to the two girls, and be quick about it.
Duo leapt up and dashed into his room, soon emerging with is kit, Step back ladies, he made his way to the door, this will only take a minute.
Heero watched as his friend expertly picked the lock, in much less time then Duo had said, the door was opened.
Serena pushed open the door, Thanks, Duo.
Duo smiled smugly, No problem, it was an easy lock, not nearly as hard to pick as Wufei's was.
Wufei turned to Duo, anger evident in his tone, What did you just say?!
We don't have time for this, Heero pushed Duo aside.
Serena turned and entered the room,
There was no answer. Serena switched on the light and surveyed the empty room. Mina followed her in and looked around sadly.
She's gone, Mina sighed, Now there are two of them.
Heero walked across the room, The windows open, she must have jumped down.
Serena moaned, just great. Not only do we have to find Rini but we now have to search for Amy as well. And here I was, thinking she was the smart one.
Heero left the room and went over to where Trowa still sat, Amy has gone.
Trowa rolled his eyes,
Heero nodded, Well, now we may have someone else to worry about.
More than likely, Trowa stood, and began to make his way to the kitchen, I'm going to talk to Quatre, I don't want him thinking that Amy is his best friend or anything.
Heero raised an eyebrow.
Not likely, Trowa laughed, I just worry about him, he is still so much like a child.
Heero agreed, I hope he doesn't take it to hard.

Serena threw herself angrily onto her bed, Just perfect, it wasn't as if I didn't have enough problems already.'
Mina came in and perched on the edge of the bed, Serena? Are you all right?
Serena moaned, turning and burying her face in a pillow, I'm not. I feel horrible, I would never have imagined that Amy would turn on us like this.
Mina reached out and began to stroke Serena's hair, I'm sure she isn't going to be like Rini. There has to be a reason why she left.
Serena wrapped her arms around the pillow, I don't know-
Mina asked leaning forward, What's wrong?
I think... Serena sat up, an envelope in hand, Do you think it is from Amy?
I don't know, Mina leaned back, Open it so we can find out.
All right, Serena opened the envelope, 'Dear Mother,' It's from Rini!
Mina frowned, What does she say?
Serena began to read allowed again, 'Dear Mother, Did you like the gift I sent you? You looked very pretty in it at the boy's house. I don't know if you are really into pink lace, but is was so cute! I really loved the nightgown, I'm sure if Heero wasn't so distracted he would have been totally starring. By the way, you did a great job of decorating your apartment, loved the scented soaps. Well, I really must be going. I'll make sure to tell Amy you said Hi.' Your loving daughter, Rini.'
What is she talking about? Mina took the letter from Serena, How many times has she been here?
At least two, Serena sighed, I had wondered when I had gotten those clothes, I just figured it had been so long ago that I had forgotten.
Do you still have them? Mina stood up from the bed.
Serena pointed to her dresser, I washed them yesterday and put them away there.
Mina pulled open the top drawer, These pink ones? she held up the panties.
Serena nodded, Yes, there should be a matching nightgown also.
Mina rummaged through the drawers before pulling it out, You now have a whole set, she laid the pink night wear on the bed before pulling out three others of blue, green, and purple.
Oh my, Serena held her hand to her mouth, That is what she meant about not knowing if I liked pink.
Mina rushed into the bathroom, Serena, please come here.
Serena stood and made her way there slowly, Is it bad?
Mina stepped back so Serena could enter,
Serena walked into the small restroom. The mirror had been broken, shards of glass where strewn around the room. Her shampoo and other soaps had been spilt onto the floor also, their empty containers laying in a pile in the bathtub. The contents of the medicine cabinet was dumped into the sink, and the toilet paper was unrolled and spread across the room.
Serena looked around sadly, I don't want to stay here anymore.
Mina nodded and led her from the room, Don't make any rash decisions. Wait one night and then decide if you want to allow Rini to scare you.
You're right, Serena sat back on her bed, I won't run, I'll wait a few days.
Mina nodded, Now, I really have to leave. I need to get a hold of the other girls and tell them what has happened.
Serena scooped up the night clothing, Can you get rid of this on your way?
Mina took the garments, Sure, I'll talk to you later.
Serena waved,
Mina turned and walked from the room, I'll call you if I hear anything.
* * *
Heero knocked on his neighbors door, then waited for a moment. When no one answered he knocked again,
The door finally began to open, Serena asked, pulling the door open a little bit more.
Yes, it's me, Heero waited for the door to open further, Mina asked me to come and check on you.
Come in, Serena held the door open for him, I don't really want to talk in the hallway.
Heero stepped into the living room, How are you?
Serena shut the door, Rini broke in and trashed my bathroom.
Heero's eye's widened, She what?
She broke in, Serena cried, she left a note practically telling me everything she had done.
Did she do anything else? Heero asked, looking around the room.
She just left some clothes in my dresser, I had Mina get rid of them. Serena answered.
Are you all right to stay here? Heero turned to Serena.
I don't know, Serena shook her head, I thought I was, I'm not to sure now.
Would you like to stay at my place? Heero looked down at his feet, At least there would be more people there.
I guess, Serena smiled, but I don't think you have the room.
I can sleep on the couch, Heero said looking up.
I'll go get my stuff, Serena turned to go into her room, but I'll sleep on the couch, I don't want to kick you out of your room.
Heero shook his head, I can't let you sleep out in the living room. It wouldn't be safe, Wufei would take it as a perfect opportunity.
Serena went into her room and after a few minutes emerged with a bag of clothing,
Not maybe, Heero pointed out,
