Last Time:
An hour later :
Hotaru and Duo had just finished unpacking and were heading to Serena
and Heero's dorm for dinner as they reached the door and turned the doorknob
they opened it to see the weirdest sight they have ever
seen........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now:
What they saw was something they thought they would never see. As they
walked in they saw Quatre hanging up side down with a rope around his ankles
with........ Heero right next to him upside down and Wufei next to him. Each
one covered in something diffrent. Heero covered in carmel, Wufei covered in
chocolate, and Quatre covered in carmel,chocolate,nuts, and whip cream. They
looked around to find Serena smirking, Amara looked smug, Michelle was giggling
behind her hand, Trista was biting her lip to hold in her laughter, Trowa was
leaning against the wall with a smallsmirk on his face but laughter in his eyes.
What shocked tham the most was Heero had been caught.
"Ok, what did you do to the poor guys?" Hotaru asked eyeing her brother and the
two others.
"Oh! nothing." Serena said smiling innocently.
"Serena, what did you do?" Hotaru asked,"To those three I mean."
"Oh! them, Let's see."Serena said as she acted like she was thinking.

"I owed Quatre because of that little stunt he pulled on we were little, Heero
because he helped Quatre with that stunt, Wufei because he went and pissed me off
when he called me a baka onna." Serena replied.
"Well I think you can let them down now." Hotaru said in between giggles.
"Sure, Why not." Was the only answer.
With that she let them down. Serena smiled at them, then she walked over to Quatre
and smiled at him.
"Revenge is sweet, Quatre." Serena said, "And paybacks a bitch."
With that she kissed all three of them on the cheek, stepped back, pulled out a
camera from behind her back and snapped a picture and smiled at them again. Quatre
looked at his sister then at his two friends.

Once he saw the other two nod at him he looked back at his sister with an evil
glint in his eyes. When Serena saw that look in his eyes, she knew he had some
thing planned, but what? Quatre avanced towards his sister the other boys behind
him.
"Sere give me the camera, if you refuse then you'll be spending the next two hours
cleaning your hair." Quatre threatened knowing Serena hated getting anything in her
hair.
"Well when you put it that way." Serena said,"Then you can have it"
Serena then withdrew the camera from behind her back and tossed it to her brother.

~Giving up so easily Koneko?~Amara asked telepathically.
~No, I had Hotaru take a picture with out them noticing. She gave it to me and I
put it in my sub space pocket.~ Serena replied.
Amara mentally sighed and rolled her eyes
~Thought of everything didn't you?~ Amara asked.
~Yup you better believe it. I even got it all on tape.~ Serena smiled
~Your kidding me.~Amara said.
~Nope look at the ceiling far left corner.~ Serena replied.
Amara did and when she looked she saw a small video camera. ~You got all of it right?~
~You better believe it.~ Serena said smirking.
~This will be good.~ Amara said.
~Yup~ Serena said

"Well enough of this non sense you three go clean up and so we can eat." Serena said
The three walked off towards the bathroom each trying to get cleaned up and waiting
for the other to get out of the shower. Once Serena was sure the three were gone she
went over to the hidden camera and pulled out the tape. Serena turned around with a
smirk on her face.
"A video is even better then a picture." Said Serena smirking.
Duo smirked and Hotaru giggled. "Sere your cruel." Hotaru said giggling.
"I know." Serena said
"Anyway I'm going to finish dinner so it will be ready when they get done." Serena siad walking towards
the kitchen.
Ten minutes later Heero walked out with a towel around neck drying his hair. He sat
down on the couch next to Serena with Hotaru on the other side of her. Serena turned to
him and smiled.
"Have a nice shower?" Serena said.
Heero turned to her and glared. Serena shrugged "If you say so."
Pretty so Quatre came out followed by Wufei soon after. As soon as every one sat down
at the table, Serena started serve to dinner. Duo immedately started to dig in as she
sat at the table. Serena sat between Heero and Quatre. Hotaru sat between Duo and Wufei,
next to Wufei was Amara, followed by Trista, Trowa, and then Michelle.
"Hey Yue did you ever finish your painting?" Hotaru asked.
"What painting?" Amara asked looking up at Serena than Hotaru.
"It's a painting I did before we came back. I saw it in dream." Serena replied.
~It's actually a memory from the past.~Serena told the girls telepathically.

"Well can we see it?" Trista asked.
"Well I don't know I normally don't let anyone see my paintings." Serena told them.
"Come om Sere, it's not like were going to burn it." Quatre said.
"Ok, let me go get it." Serena sighed as she got up to go get it.
Serena walked off to her room to get her painting to show them. When she got to her
room she went to her closet and pulled it out. Serena then proceded back to the table
to show everyone. When she walked into the kitchen. Hotaru noticed Serena had come in
and was immedately in front of her.
"Let us see Yue come." Hotaru pleaded.
"Hold on Hoshi." Serena said as she sat it on the floor and grabbed her easel and set
it up then put her painting on it.
"Well come on let's see." Hotaru said impatiently.
As soon as everyone else gathered around Serena took of the cloth that had covered the painting. When
Hotaru saw it she gasped. The picture was beautiful or so she thought.
" Oh! Serena that's beauitful!" Michelle exclaimed.
"I have to admit Koneko that I agree with Michelle." Amara said.

The picture was of Sailor Cosmos with Sailor Saturn on her right and Sailor Neptune
behind her. On the left was Sailor Pluto and Sailor Uranus behind her. Below the five
Senshi was the earth in all its glory.
In the top right was the sun it shined brightly on the right side
of the earth putting a dark shadow on the left side. On the top left was the moon with
the Moon Palace on it. The moon was shining brightly slightly illuminating the left
side of the earth. Up above the 5 Senshi were 5 men their faces were completely over
shadowed with an ominous evil that was up above them and the Senshi. If you looked
closely at the Senshi you could see a look of determination in their eyes their faces
were also slightly over shadowed. All in all the picture was very beautiful.

"Sere that's beautiful." Trista said.
"Yes, it is, but why are the 5 up above...... why are their faces so dark you can't
even see their faces only the hair color, you can't even see the hair style just the
color." Quatre asked.
"That's because I couldn't see them either that's how they appered to me in my dream."
Serena replied.
"Oh, I have an idea why don't you frame it and hang it up." Hotaru said.
"Hey that's a good idea, something that good should be displayed so everyone can see
you can even use it for the class project." Duo said.
"For once I agree with Maxwell." Wufei said.
"Then it's settled tomorrow we go and get this framed." Amara said.
Heero and Trowa just nodded his head agreeing with the others and even though they
didn't say anything Serena could tell they liked it.


Serena just smiled and listened to her friends talk about her painting and asked her
if she had anymore, she just nodded and asked them if they wanted to see her drawing to. Needless to say they liked all of her drawings and the rest of her paintings. After
letting everyone pick one painting and one drawing (per dorm)they wanted(since she had
so many), she told them they could have them and they would frame them tomorrow so they
could hang them in their dorms. After they all picked one and left Serena and Heero
sitting on the couch in their dorm where they had all been watching the t.v. Serena
turned to Heero.
"Hey Heero you don't mind if I hang some of my stuff up do you?" Serena asked.
"No." Heero said
"Also would you be my partner for Mythology. I pretty sure I will be better then Relena." Serena said.
"Do you even have to ask?" Heero said not believeing how much he was talking.
Serena laughed. "I'll take that as a yes." she said as she yawned.

Serena then snuggled into the couch getting comfortable. She then leaned against Heero
putting her head on his shoulder. Heero stiffened but then relaxed when he looked down
and saw she had fallen asleep. He then moved her off his shoulder and picked her up
princess style and carried her to her room. Once there he put her in bed and covered
he up. As he stood up he looked at her.
'She looks so peaceful.'Heero thought and before he knew what he was doing he bent
down and kissed her on her
forehead. As he was leaving one thought ran through his mind.
'There's no dought about it. I think I'm falling in love with her. But you'll have to
kill me to get me to admit it in front of anyone or until I'm ready to.'Heero thought,
'Yup you're going to have to kill me first.'
