He shot up, gasping for air as he placed a shaking hand over his racing heart, his chest covered in a film of sweat. Glancing around the room he noticed everything was in their rightful place. Looking towards the window in his room he could see the faint signs of light filtering through the hills. Lowing his head, his bangs fell over haunted eyes, his hands lay clinched in his lap. The dream had seemed so real, that it scared him, it never ended any different, she always died.
Sighing he threw his covers off before standing up on the wooden floor, the coldness seeping into his bare feet as he slowly made his way to his bathroom. Just once he wished that it would end differently, that she would live. But he always wished and it never came true for him, never. A lot of things he wished for never came true anymore. Staring into the mirror across from him he sighed at his reflections, turning away from it silently he moved to take a shower before heading into work.

"She'll kill us." Mina hissed as she looked across the table at Raye. "She's with Ben, plain and simple, they've always been together and they always will be together. No matter how much we wish for it to be different."
"Mina, look, I know you've given up. That Serena won't go back to Duo, but, if we put the two into situations, they'll have to talk." Raye pointed out as she leaned across the table to get closer to the girls. Hotaru rolled her eyes before looking over at Heero, his prussian eyes sparked as he glanced at her before turning back to listen to Relena's speech. Lita looked slightly taken back at Raye's idea before turning to Mina who was sitting back in her chair thinking it over.
"I haven't given up, but I know it's impossible. She left because they killed the commander, one of the first men she really trusted besides Ben. She was getting really close to trusting the rest of them but she's lost that trust, lost it the second they sliced through his shuttle. That's why she won't go back with Duo. She hates them as much as she hates us." Mina told her, Raye shook her head not wanting to believe that the woman she looked up to was more of a man hater than she herself had been.
"She's right, Raye." Lita spoke up for the first time that night, her long chestnut locks falling over her shoulder as she batted the ponytail away. "As much as we want to not believe it, she's right."
"I guess, I just hate seeing him so upset. Wufei's really getting concerned, says Duo hasn't been taunting him as much as normal."
"Let things run there own course." Hotaru spoke up as she watched Serena, Ben and Trowa walk around the corner behind the stage, moving to meet up with Heero, for Relena's speech was now over. As the pacifist princess walked through the blue curtains she smiled at her friends. Duo, Wufei and Quatre were just making their way backstage from their positions out in the crowd. There was an uncomfortable silence as everyone paired off into small groups.

There's an annoying little thing I like to call a Wall covered in concrete, wood, stone walls, lava, a giant collection of pink things with the word princess written all over them. I like to call that wall a writer's worst nightmare come true. If the last chapter has any concept that I like about it, it would be the detail. Of which this story lacks. Detail, taste, Hell it lacks everything. I'm not good at sequels, not good at writing them, most of the time the sayings that the sequel ruins everything, is true. For me.
