Hi again. Remember the writer's block, well here's the solution. I want to thank the few reviewers who wished me luck in overcoming my block. As for going back to school, I feel much better about it. By the way, going to an all girls school isn't that bad. The real problem is the fact that I live on an island and the school I go to is rather prominent. A really excellent reputation and as in small town, every little thing we do that is out of place is reported. Why, oh why did we have to have uniforms for all the schools? The only good thing about that is the lower cost and less worry over what I'm gonna wear.
Now to stop my rambling. This is a straight forward story. The couple is one of my favs. Heero and Usagi but I'll call her Serena in this fic. They had a break-up and then by chance they meet and then get back together. Cute ,huh, but typical. Now on to the fic.

Fortune's Gift
Lilaclight
She never expected to see him again. Not after that horrible fight they had had. Yet there he was, sitting with a group of friends, looking good enough to eat. Oh, how she wanted to devour him.
He had not noticed her entrance. For once he was not being the 'Perfect Soldier'. The thrill she had felt when she had first set eyes on him wavered when she noticed his female companion, then disappeared altogether when she saw how the girl fawned over him.
She recognised the girl as former teen idol Relena Peacecraft. Her disappointment was followed by indignation. True it had been just over a year since they had last seen each other but he had promised to love her past eternity. He should still be getting over her; like she was still getting over him.
Gathering her courage, she walked right up to them. She was too busy controlling her nerves to notice the surprise, joy and pain that flickered in Heero's eyes before his usual mask was put in place. Quatre, however, did notice the emotions. He was stunned and yet his caring soul sympathized with Heero.
"Hello Heero. It's been a long time. Too long, wouldn't you say?" she said looking straight at him. She too had a mask in place. One that hid the pain beneath. To everyone looking she was a happy silvery blonde greeting an old friend. Only Quatre sensed her pain.
"Heero," whined Relena in an annoyingly high pitched voice. Her wheat blonde hair was in its usual style, hanging loose with two useless, tiny braids holding it back from her face. "
"Who is this bitch?"
Rage swept through her like fire, stiffening her body like a board in her attempt to control it. She dearly wanted to punch that washed out hag.
"Ms. Relena!" burst out an aghast Quatre. " Please take no offence. She didn't mean it."
"That's right babe! Now for the little matter of you knowing a shmuck like Hee-man here. How'd he meet a babe like you?" asked Duo with a grin.
Serena had had enough. This braided idiot who somewhat resembled a girl with his braid and long lashed cobalt blue eyes and long chestnut hair was disrespectful. And she was still very much pissed off. It did not matter that the gentle platinum blonde with the crystal clear blue eyes had tried to apologise for Relena's behaviour.
Duo suddenly felt a right hook from out of nowhere. It resulted in him seeing stars and ringing ears. Wufei was highly amused by Serena's actions while Quatre was dismayed. As for Serena, her poor hand smarted. Duo's head was harder than it looked.
"You are not a weak onna. You have just shown that there is justice in this world by knocking this braided baka. Too bad you can't permanently rid of his brand of injustice," Wufei said rather hopefully.
The other pilots were surprised and Heero was feeling jealous. Relena was still sulking over Serena's presence.
"Thank you." Serena replied to the good looking Chinese guy with a painful looking ponytail and black eyes.
"I'm Serena Tsukino. Heero, introduce us." She stated.
"Hnn," Heero began, causing Serena to smile. " That bakayarou you just punched was Duo Maxwell; the blonde is Quatre Winner; the chinese guy who just complimented you is Chang Wufei and the other brunette with the long bang is Trowa Barton. You should know Ms. Relena Peacecraft." He then fell silent.
"It was nice meeting y'all but I can't stay and chat. I'm here to get the snacks for our picnic." Serena said regretfully.
"Picnic!! Can we come, can we come," burst out Duo after quickly regaining his senses.
Serena let out the most angelic sound he had ever heard. He had most certainly missed it. He had missed everything about her every single day she was gone. Now the merciless fates had sent her to tempt him. The ever bothersome Relena Peacecraft was still on his case. He had never had any interest in her but somehow in her deranged mind they were a couple. Disgusting!!
He was not pleased at Duo's behaviour. First he calls her 'babe' then he tries to wheedle an invitation from her. This was an injustice! Heero stopped his thoughts in shock. Injustice? 'Man, I've been hanging out with Wufei way too much.'
Still irked, he listened for her answer. He watched her cock her head in that endearing way of hers as she appeared to consider Duo's request. She gazed thoughtfully at them all, her eyes passing over him unseeingly, his only consolation the fact that they passed often. Duo, as usual, tried his best to sway her with his puppy dog face. An expression which had won Quatre's sisters over many times.
Relena sat next to 'her man' and fumed silently. As in the way of the more intuitive sex, she could tell that there was something between them boiling away below the surface. What Heero had ever seen in her she did not know, especially when he had always had her at his disposal. So what if she had dabbled with others while she waited; he could not expect her to ignore her needs. He certainly had not ignored his.(pity she doesn't know how much like a whore she sounds)
Serena took her time to decide. Looking at Heero quite often was unnerving because he seemed to be staring straight at her each time, willing her to say no. Then she looked at Relena leaning so close to him that it should be illegal. That rekindled her ire and she looked at Duo with a flirtatious smile.
"Sure. I'm sure my friends won't have a problem with that. Are the rest of agreeable with this?" she queried, aware that what Duo might wish would not be the same as theirs.
"Join a bunch of weak onnas for a waste of time? Hah! I don't wish to be there."
"Are you certain we won't be imposing?" asked Quatre.
"The girls will like you guys. You're all kawaii. But Wufei, don't be so certain that we're all weak." she warned.
"If you're sure then we'll come. All of us." responded Quatre with emphasis on the all. Trowa had no objections while Wufei sputtered out his typical phrases. (I don't have to tell you that. You should know them all by now)
"But I can't go," objected Relena. "I've an appointment that can not be disregarded. Heero, you're going to take me, right?"
"Hnn." Heero gave her one of his most lethal death glares. Too bad she would not drop dead from it.
"I guess that settles it," Serena told Relena with a superior smirk women give each other when they get the guy. (Remember Toni Braxton's song 'He Wasn't Man Enough For Me'. Even better if you saw the music video)
Noticing the exchange, Heero chose to ignore it. He would do anything to stay away from Relena, more so when there was a chance of them being alone together. The last time that happened, she almost raped him. He still got chills when he thought about that night.
Relena got up in a fit of rage and left. She would find a way to get back at that whore Serena even if it was the last thing she did. No one took her man away from her. She headed for Mamoru Chiba's apartment for comfort and plotted along the way. Her kind of comfort meant getting hot and sweaty yet it never occurred to her of how promiscuous her mannerisms were. Talk about ironic.
I'm going to finish this in one more chapter then I'll let you guys decide whether or not to do a sequel. I'm sure I'll leave room for that. To be sure enough of you read this I'm posting it on my story Body Swapped. That way, if any requests to lengthen or create a sequel are made, I will make it into a separate fic.
My writer's block is still around so I'm gonna start typing up the beginnings of fics that I wrote by hand. I think I'll do the shorter one first. I'm halfway through with it so I can start my typing now. That way I can post regularly. Oh, and I need advice on how to play poker. There's a poker scene in a chapter between the G-boys minus Heero. You'll find out where he is when you read. I'll start this weekend. Expect the chapter on Sunday.
Wish I could stay longer but I gotta go get ready for bed so I can wake up early and do my homework. It was nice writing again even if it's slow going. School has just messed me up. Adios amigos!!
Ja ne.
