Chapter 3

Surprises

Serena may have been going to the Peacecraft Finishing School, but she also had one class in the Peacecraft Academy part of the building. This one class had to be history. Since both schools were in the same building, the dorms were on the same grounds as well. This is were Serena happened to be at that precise moment. She was there gathering up her things for her history class, which started in ten minutes. Serena was grateful to have a dorm room all to herself. Actually, it was more like an apartment. It had enough room for her and 6 other people. Relena made sure Serena had a big dorm to herself, just in case any of her friends decided to visit or join her. Serena, also chose to live in the co-ed section of the dorms, just in case any of her other friends wanted to visit.

Serena finally made it to her class and with a couple of minutes to spare. Now she could relax. Today, they were going to start talking about past wars and how they related to the current one. The bell went off, signaling it was time for class to start. Once the class settled down, the door opened, and in came Relena. Relena may have been around her age, but she got to do whatever she wanted. But usually she ends up taking a trip to the colonies. She may have been the owner of both schools, but she was also the representative of both the Earth and the Colonies.

When Relena came into the class, she walked right up to the teacher and started talking to her. The teacher nodded and they both looked out the opened door. Relena beckoned, for whoever was out there, to come in. Three figures walked in, wearing the Peacecraft Academy uniforms.

Serena went wide-eyed, 'It can't be!?!'

The teacher signaled for the class to quiet down, and proceeded, "Class, it would appear we have three new students joining us."

Serena continued to stare, 'She wouldn't!?!'

The teacher turned back to Relena, "Thank you for escorting them here Ms. Relena."

"It was my pleasure." Relena replied. Now she turned her attention to the three in front of her. "Now you three behave yourselves!" She warned. Then she left.

The teacher turned to the three new students, "Would you three kindly introduce yourselves."

Since Duo was first in line, he started the introductions, "The name's Duo Maxwell."

Then it came Sara's turn. Sara and Heero looked at each other. They were thinking the same thing, whether to use false names or there real names. Then they thought back to when they found Relena in her office.

----------------------------------------Flashback--------------------------- ----------

Since Heero and Sara had been to the Peacecraft Academy before, they had a pretty good idea where everything is or was. So, they lead the way for Duo to follow. After awhile, they had finally found Relena's office. The problem was that the door was closed. But they didn't care if she was talking to someone or not. So, they opened the door and went in. Once the door opened, Relena looked up from what she was doing, to get the surprise of her life.

"Heero?" She asked, just to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Heero gave her a look as he walked in. With this look, she knew it was him. Once Heero walked in, she noticed two others behind him. At this, Relena stood up, "Duo. Sara. It's nice to see all of you again." Silence rose for a moment, with Relena's excitement going with it. "So, what brings all of you here?" Relena asked, sitting back down.

"Why do you think were here!" Duo replied, looking over at Heero.

Relena understood Duo's answer. Heero had to come.

"That's why Duo and Heero are here. As for me, I came to see someone." Sara piped in. Heero looked at Sara through the corner of his eye. He knew who she was talking about.

Duo stood there staring at Sara for a moment. Then it hit him, "Oh, I get it. You want to see your..." Unfortunately, Duo was silenced by, none other than, Sara. Sara didn't bother moving form her spot. She just raised her hand and covered his mouth. Then she gave him a glare that could match Heero's Death Glare. Which didn't surprise him since those two were hardly seen without each other, especially on missions. Duo decided it was time to shut-up. Unlike Heero, Sara carried out her word and promises of death. Because of this, Duo has dubbed her The Goddess of Death. When she said or promised she would kill someone, she would carry it out to the letter, or die trying. And she has come pretty close to it quit a few times. And plus, she loved to cause destruction and mayhem, just like he did. Sara removed her hand a little. Deciding that Duo was going to keep his big mouth shut, she removed her hand back to where it was before he said anything. After that, they all sat down and discussed the matters at hand. After about ten minutes, Relena came up with an idea.

"What!?" Sara shouted. Now she was getting pissed. "You're kidding, right?" Sara asked, trying to calm herself down.

Relena looked at the three of them. "I'm serious." Relena simply stated.

Sara stood up. Now she was ticked. She stood there for a moment, with her hands clenched into fists. Duo thought she looked ready to pound something or someone. Relena in particularly. "I said I wanted to visit! Not stay!!" Sara yelled, fists in front of her.

"I'd think it would be best if you three stayed here, even if it's for a little while." Relena stated calmly.

Heero just sat there, he didn't mind the idea that much. Duo didn't dare say anything. Especially, with Sara this angry. So, he just sat there as well. Sara was too ticked to say another word. She was using all her strength to not go over there and beat Relena to death that very second.

Relena decided to try and address them again, and to try and get an answer out of them, "Duo Maxwell, Heero Yuy, Sara. Please consider my proposal."

To this, Sara put her fists to her side, closed her eyes, and turned her head to the side. Sara stayed like that for a moment, with everyone staring at her, and she knew it. "Fine!" Sara spat out. Everyone looked at her surprised. Well, she knew Heero didn't show it, but she knew he was thinking it. She's known Heero for so long that she would know what he was trying to say by just looking in his eyes.

Relena started ravaging though some papers on her desk. "Now lets see. You're going to need a room to stay in..." Relena stated, looking at a list of dorm rooms available. Then she glanced at Sara, who was still in that same position. Like she was disgusted with herself. 'With that hair color, she looks exactly like...' With that thought, it hit her. "I've got just the one. This dorm is big enough for 6 people. It is in the co- ed section of the dorms. And, there is already one person there." Relena announced.

"Who is it?" Heero asked, folding his arms.

Relena looked at her paper in her hand, "Her name is Serena Tsukino. It's her first year here." When Relena said Serena's name, Sara tensed up. Looking as if she was about to explode. Relena didn't notice, because she was paying attention to Heero, waiting for his answer. She knew his answer would he the final answer of the group. Heero noticed Sara was about to explode, from the corner of his eye. Just like Relena, Duo didn't notice either. He was to busy absorbing what Relena had just said.

'Serena...Now, where did I hear...' Duo thought, then it hit him. Duo turned his attention to Sara, "Hey, Sara. That's your..." Once Duo said her name, her eye's snapped open. Duo didn't get to finish his sentence, because Sara's fist came in his direction. She was ready to punch his lights out. Duo noticed her fist heading his way. So, he dived on the floor to escape Sara's wrath and pain he was about to receive. Once Sara missed, she stared at Duo on the floor and started to growl. Then she kicked him in the gut. Sara waited awhile for Duo's moaning to subside.

"Maybe that would teach you to keep your big mouth shut!" Sara yelled. Sara then closed her eyes. "Heero." Sara stated. Heero nodded, understanding what she wanted him to do. She wanted him to help Duo, until he was able to walk by himself again. Once Sara saw Heero nod, she stormed out of Relena's office, as calmly as she could, leaving the door open. Heero and Relena stared at the door. Relena was hopping no one was going to get hurt, with an angry Sara on the loose. Heero stood up, he decided it was time to go.

"We accept." Heero stated, before going over to help Duo up. Once Heero was sure he had a good grip on Duo, they heard something hit the wall, just outside of Relena's office.

"What was that?" Relena asked, startled.

"Sara." Heero simply stated.

"What?! You mean she's still out there?" Relena asked, now surprised Sara was waiting for them.

"Yeah. And her patience is wearing thin." Heero explained, heading for the door with Duo.

"Yeah, but did she have to take it out on me?" Duo asked, trying to regain his breath.

"You're the one that opened your mouth. Besides, I supprised you're still able to talk." Heero answered.

"Considering everything, I think she took an easy on me." Duo replied, with a smile on his face.

Then they headed off to get what they would need for school, then went with Relena to there first class.

-----------------------------------End Flashback---------------------------- -------

Heero and Sara nodded to each other and continued on with the introductions.

"The name's Sara." Sara stated.

"Heero Yuy." Heero replied immediately after Sara.

"Now, if you three would take the empty seats in the back, we'll start class." The teacher stated.

The three did as they were told. Once they were settled, the class started. Serena kept glancing over at Sara, wondering why she would do something like this. Sara kept glancing at both Serena and Duo. She glanced at Serena to see what her cousin's reaction was to the day's events and what and how she would feel when the day was finally over. She kept glancing at Duo, to make sure she wouldn't have to beat him up in front of the whole class. Duo was making sure he would stay in one peace the rest of the day. As for Heero, he didn't care what happened, as long as there cover wasn't blown. So, class continued and the day went on as it normally would, and that was the only class Serena had with her cousin and her two friends. But, it left her wondering how she managed to find friends such as those two boys.
