Sorry about not having this blasted chapter out on Thursday. I did the most idiotic thing and never realized it. I deleted the two chapters of ToC from my recycle bin and never noticed but I honestly thought that I had back up copies on diskette. I was wrong big time. And I found that out late Thursday night when I was going to continue but I figured, hey I don't wanna go online again. Then my father wanted me to leave the house with my mother and she leaves before seven so I did not have time to go online and download the back up from FFN. Then last night when I went online, the password was not working. It went back to it's 'I only work after two in the morning' mode.

There's my excuse. Believe it if you want. I already know in my heart that it's true. Now for the formalities.

Thank you all of you who reviewed and asked me to continue this fic. I trust that you guys read it before you reviewed. I am currently stuck on what the pranks are but I'll figure them out as I go along. I hope that what I decide to do with this miserable fic pleases you. I know that I'll have to work hard to limit the clichés but I'll try my best. This is where I thank Dark Earth for Malledd. He would make an excellent villain for this fic and help me write it better. He belongs to her but I have her permission to borrow him and trust me on this, he's a bishounen. Just think along the lines of a better looking Diamond.

Disclaimer: (abrupt, I know) I do not own anything except for the plot. Oh, and any characters that I add, like teachers.

Chapter Two...

Something About You

At Class...

Duo grinned evilly. Payback always felt good and the backstabbers did not have a clue. Relishing the prospect of his prize, Duo finger came down on the button, only to stop a few millimeters from it. The look of despair on his face was comical for the teacher, Mr. Caldwell, was watching him closely and signing that the slightest disturbance would be placed on his shoulders.

Duo sighed sorrowfully but comforted himself with the thought that 'there's always next time'. He did not want to get more detention, not when he had other plans. In a way Duo had the backstabbers to thank for that. Waking him early had succeeded in him not having detention for once, which then gave him the time to set up his pranks. Duo had no idea how lucky he really was because the threat of suspension was hanging over his unsuspecting head.

Serenity stifled a yawn and looked around the class in hopes of finding something interesting to keep her awake. Her gaze fell on the glaring teacher and she smirked at the sight before turning to follow his gaze to the recipient. Her smirk grew to a smile as she saw the boy with a long mahogany braid sitting besides her, looking back at Mr. Caldwell in comical dismay.

Wondering why he was so disappointed, Serenity studied him and his surroundings and spotted and device in his hand that had a red button on the top. A prankster, she thought accurately and wondered if she and he could hook up for some pranks. From the looks of things, he seemed to be the most likely choice for blame around there. An excellent scapegoat.

Her Senshi spotted the smile on her face and followed her gaze to Duo. Poor Duo had the misfortune of having Haruka glare at him rudely and evilly until their sensei asked him what the problem was between he and Mr. Maxwell. Duo did not help the situation by repeating the question. The whole situation defused the boredom of the class as they decided to pay more attention to the two boys. Relena was busy staring in adoration at her obsession.

'Ruka-chan, stop glaring at the poor boy. I was only watching him because the sensei was glaring at him.' Serenity said.

'I don't care. A look is all it takes for them to get interested. It's best to warn them off early.' Haruka retorted.

'Listen to Serenity-hime or it's the couch for you tonight and the rest of the week.' Michiru said sternly.

'Demo Chiru-koi...' began Haruka in a soft whine.

'Save it.' came Michiru's curt response.

Haruka gave a noticeably loud sigh and earned strange glances from the sensei and a few students. He had to leave the braided boy alone until Michiru loosened up a bit. But there was always private sessions. The thought of those private sessions cheered him up a bit and he shot a furtive glance at his koi before telling the sensei that everything was alright.

'I guess we know who really wears the pants in this relationship.' Serenity projected to all the girls teasingly.

'Yeah. And it isn't who we thought at first.' Hotaru added with a giggle.

'Hn.' grumbled Haruka, eliciting laughter from his koi and the others.

'Aw, get over it Ruka-koi. Why get your panties in a bunch over a that. You can do that later when we're home.' Michiru said suggestively to only Haruka.

'I'm liking the sound of that.' Haruka replied and a wolfish grin graced his face.

Sighs were heard from all over the classroom as the female population with crushes on him caught the grin. This caused those of the annoyed male population to all glare at Haruka was ignoring them quite successfully. Heero, Trowa and Wufei all groaned inwardly at their bad luck. The fates did not like them.

"Class, control yourselves. Your behaviour today is atrocious and speaks very badly of me as a teacher. Calm down and listen to Ms.Peacecraft or it detention during lunch for all of you." Mr. Caldwell reprimanded sternly.

As expected, the prospect of missing lunch and the gossip fest that usually took place made the class shut up and gaze attentively at Relena, who in turn was still staring at the object of her deepest and sickest desires in obvious hero-worship. A few snickers were heard as they all watched her in amusement. A few boys even betted among themselves how long she would last.

The object of her stare was ignoring her as usual. He was greatly annoyed by her antics and wished that he had killed her before she had become important to the peace between the colonies and the earth.

'She is such a fucking hypocrite! She says that she abhors war yet in the same breath she proclaims undying love for me, a soldier of war. Someone who has killed, who lives solely for fighting. She is but a gilded peacock, made substantial by people's hope and dreams but bearing no real substance of her own.' he thought angrily.

All she did was chase after him when she was not fulfilling her official duties. She was an embarrassment to the Peacecraft name but her status saved her from being judged harshly and the extremities through which she went to get to him were covered up. The lucky, naive bitch. Her naïveté would one day be her downfall, of that Heero was certain.

Shoving all thoughts of the annoying princess out of his mind, Heero turned his attention to the girl in front of him. When she he had first laid eyes on her, a jolt of familiarity had run through him. A slight pounding in his head had him striving to remember where he had seen her but to no avail did he find answers. He gave up the search through his memory and put it down as a resemblance to someone he had met before.

He noted that the location of her seat afforded her excellent protection as he and the other Gundam pilots surrounded her and the spaces in between them were filled by her friends. Well, he assumed that they were her friends. The way they had all entered with an air of comfort and ease belied a knowledge of each other that came from a close friendship.

Her beauty surpassed all that he had seen before except once. On the scale of his mind they were equal. So what if he had only glimpsed the other in passing, she had been stunning in her innocent beauty. Young and fresh, innocent in the ways of the world. He had seen all that in her eyes just as he had seen it in the new girl's.

There was something about the new girl that reminded him of her. They even shared the same name. Serenity. It was an impossibility that they were one and the same. He had heard of the attack and her death. There was no way that his informant had been wrong. But still...

Shaking his head, Heero glared at the back of Serenity's head. He would figure out what it was about her that had him so mixed up and delving into old memories. The possibility that both she and her friends could be enemies flickered through his mind and he grasped onto it like a drowning man to a piece of driftwood. He never realised how long it took before that thought had surfaced.

At peace with his decision to find out all he could about the new students, Heero settled back and took out his laptop from it's case. Since Relena was still acting like an irritating retard he might as well do something productive. Starting the computer, he hooked it up to his cell and went online. Hopefully he would find what he was looking for.

That's it for now. How did you like the new chapter? Be sure to tell me in your reviews, no matter how short they will be. I'm curious as to how many of the thirty of you will review this chapter. I'm posting it after the notice so that I can compare Don't think that I won't know. I have eyes and ears everywhere. I wanna say thank you once more to the thirty of you who encouraged me. I was shocked at the amount of you who wanted this fic continued. Maybe I should say thirty-one. I got a review after the decision to continue was in.

Those of you who are aware of me taking over Heaven and Hell, I ask you guys to be a little more patient. The first two chapters will be posted on New Year's Day along with another chapter for From Stone to Man. I hope that those of you who read this fic check them out too. I'm not too sure of how many of you read most of my work. This time I'll definitely try to be punctual with my updating.

A little notice, after the New Year's, my updating will be erratic. I'll work on whatever fic I'm in the mood for and it won't matter if I've already updated one and neglected the other. I have finals coming up and those dreaded SBAs. You people with the American school system are so lucky. Down here in the Caribbean we lean heavily towards the British system.

Hope you guys enjoyed your Christmas and will have a wonderful New Year. Please check out my other fics if you haven't. If you enjoyed this one then you'll enjoy the rest.

R & R peeps!!

Ja ne.
