Last Time:

'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.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Time:

The next day Serena woke up to find herself in her room.

'Heero must have broughtme in here' Serena thought. She looked at her

clock. '6:00 a.m. on a Monday.' Serena sighed 'guess I better get ready

for school' with that Serena got out of bed and walked to the bathroom,

clothes in hand.

Ten minutes later Serena was out of the shower and dressed before heading

to the kitchen to make breakfast. As she put on an apron she heard the

bathroom door close and the shower turned on. 'Heero's up, better make him

something' Serena thought as she got all the ingredients out and made her

and Heero breakfast.

After about ten miutes Herro came out and into the livingroom and toward the

kitchen to the table to see a plate of foor set out. Serena came out of the

kitchen setting down another plate of food. Serena turned to Heero when she

noticed him. "Good morning Heero! Hope you're hungry!" Serena chirped as she

walked into the kitchen and came back with two cups of water.

"Would you like something else to drink?" Serena asked.

"Hn . ." Heero grunted.

"Ok. I guess not" Seren a said, "come on sit down. I'm guessing you normally

don't have a big breakfast, but . . . get use to it." Heero just looked at

her and grunted.

"Well, sit down." Serena said.

"Hn" was all Heero said as he walked to the table and sat down. Just as

Serena was about to sit down there was a knock at the door.

"I wonder who that is" Serena mumbled to herself as she walked to the door

and opened it, to see Michelle, Amara, Hotaru, Trista, Quatre, Wufei, Duo,

and Trowa all standing there. Serena smiled at them all.

"Can we come in?" asked Michelle.

"Sure, come on in." Serena replied with a smile as she moved so they could

all come in.

"What did you all want?" Serena asked them.

"Nothing, just see what you were doing." Amara replied.

"Well, I was going to eat." Serena said.

"Really, so do you have anything for your favorite person?" Hotaru asked.

"If you really want, but didn't you eat?" Serena asked.

"Nope. Not yet." Hotrau answered.

"In that case, sure, how about you guys?" Serena asked, looking at the

others.

"Sure, I've been wanting to see how much you've improved" Amara said.

"I resent that, Amara" Serena said angrily.

"Well, you couldn't even boil water back then, so I wanna see if you

improved" Amara said.

"Well, excuse me if those 'people' never tried to help me" Serena said.

"I know Serena I know" Amara said, "I wish you would have never met them."

Serena nodded before she smiled at Amara.

"So, what would you like to eat?" Serena asked, "pick; we've got plenty of

time to eat."



"Anything is good" Amara said.

The others nodded their heads in agreement. Serena smiled and walked back

to the kitchen to make the others some food, missing the look Duo had on

his face, as he eyed her food hungrily.

~Sere, Duo is going after your food~ Hotaru told her.

~Thanks, Taru~ Serena replied.

Serena walked to the doorway with a wooden spoon in hand. She took aim and

threw it at his head.

It of course, hit it's target. Duo's hands retreated from her food to hold

the back of his head gingerly, as a cry of pain escaped his mouth.

"Who did that?!?!?!?" Duo whined.

"I did" Serena said from behind him as Duo turned to face her, glaring

daggers at her through slited eyes.

"Why did you do that for?!?!" Duo asked.

"Because, you wouldn't leave my food alone" Serena said while walking

towards him; she grabbed his braid and yanked down hard.

"Now, I suggest you leave my food alone or you won't get anything to eat"

Serena said.



Duo just nodded quickly, whimpering slightly.

"Sere, be nice" Michelle reprimanded her.

Serena looked at her and pouted slightly.

"I was" Serena said as she pointed to a knife she had put on the table,

which had gone unnoticed by the others. "I was gonna cut off his braid."

Wufei smirked, "You got lucky, Maxwell."

The rest of the morning was uneventful until class started.

In the first hour, Mythology, Mr. Jackson called to see who was with who,

the partners I mean. It ended up Serena and Heero, Duo and Hotaru, Amara

and Trowa, Trista and Wufei. To say the least Relena was mad because she

wasn't with Heero, but immedately forgot when Mr. Jackson told the class

it was Relena's day to speak with them. The class groaned but shut up

immedately after Mr. Jackson glared at them.



Relena stood and walked to the front of the class before she started on

her peace talk.

" You see we can achieve total peace if we throw away all weapons....."

Relena continued. The class tuned her out with a groan. It really does get

boring ecspecially when you don't agree. Everyone was tired of Relena, I'm

they've heard this speech who knows how many times.

" That with out weapons, evey one will negotiate. They will be able to

talk evey thing out. We can settle our diffrences with out war." Relena said.

She was about to continue when she was interrupted.

" Your wrong Miss Relena." a voice spoke. Eveyone turned to the back of the

room.

"Excuse me?" Relena said.

"I said your wrong." Serena said every one looked at her.

"How am i wrong? How would you know?" Relena asked.

"It's common sense Miss Relena, what you think of is a world that can

never exist." Serena rplied

"Why do you say that." Relena asked.

"Well, because we are humans. As humans it's in our nature to fight."

serena said closine her eyes," You may be able to get ride of the weapons,

the wars.But chances are there will be some one who will not listen,some one

who will hold onto the past, who won't let go of thier will to fight."



"How do you know that?" Relena asked snidely.

"Are you really that blind Miss Relena?" Hotaru asked,"There are a lot of

things you do not get, that you don't. But to think that to get total peace

we should throw away all weapons..."

"Then Miss Relena, you are sadly mistaken. It is in our nature to fight,

to argue with one another. If you know what's wrong with the way things

are done it can be easily fixed." Amara added.

"Yes, when you know what's wrong with the process, you can begin to change

it. It is immpossible to fix something unless you know what is wrong."

Michelle said.

"Besides humans are a stubborn race. We are afraid of change, scared of

what will happen. When we live one way for so long, they get mad or they

are afraid about all the changes." Trista said.

"We are complicated. Emotions, feelings, everything we see, we do; it

can effect us. Weather in the long run or not." Serena said as she opened

her eyes.



"So, what's your point?" Relena asked. She was getting mad, everyone was

paying more attention to them then her.

"My point is, that humans don't like change, some may, others don't. Those

others will rebellious,they will fight.They won't throw away their weapons.

Evil men will still be here, because of the universe's balance." Serena said.

Relena had a blank look.

"I mean Miss Relena, that in the universe there is a balance. Good can't

survive without evil and vise versa. It's good and evil, light and dark, white

and black. Only one person can help good prevail and keep evil back while

maintaining the balance. That is the Queen of the Stars, Sailor Cosmos. Serena

explained.

"So, I was able to get every one united, eveyone at peace. I use to be the

Queen of the world." Relena said.

"So, you're point. How longdid the peace last? Not long. You use to be is the

key word." Serena pointed out. Relena opened her mouth to say something, but

couldn't, she was speechless. So instead of looking like a fish she immedately

closed her mouth.
