Mina smiled. "Hey guys!" She said as she and Quatre walked over to Duo, Hotaru, Raye, Wufei, Trowa, and Lita.
"Hey! Is it just a day to be in the park or something?!!" Raye asked, laughing.
"What do you mean?" Quatre asked.
"We met the others just a second ago. We all sorta agreed that we'd all go and have a picnic. Amara and Trieze went to go get the food and Michelle and Yaten went to go get the drinks. Seyia and Lucretia still have their blanket from earlier. We were even just about to call you guys." Lita said.
"Where is everyone then?" Mina asked, looking for the others.
"Seyia and Lucretia went with Michelle and Yaten. Sammy and Maurimaya went with Trieze and Amara. Trista and Millardo went to the house to get some music with Amy and Taiki."
"DUDE!" Duo shouted.
Everyone looked at him and then at what he was looking at.
There, in the park, stood Serena and Heero, kissing each other like there was no tomorrow.
"Wow.since when have Heero and Serena been together?" Lita asked.
"Since when has Heero been one to stand out in the middle of a public park and make out with a girl?" Duo asked, looking at the other guys.
Trieze walked up to them. "Is that Heero Yui kissing my baby sister?" He asked, irritated.
"Um.yeah, I think it is." Sammy said, carrying an arm-load of food.
"HEERO Y--" Trieze started, only to have his mouth covered up by Amara.
"She wouldn't kiss him like that unless they truly were in love. She didn't even kiss Darien like that." She hissed at him.
Unfortunately, for the two lovers, it was too late. They broke apart and saw every single one of their friends staring at them, grinning like crazy, with the exception of Trieze, who looked ready to kill Heero.
As if reading his mind, "Trieze, if you even think about killing him, I'll blast you into another dimension." Serena growled out.
Trieze breathed in deeply and loosened up a bit. "Fine." He said flatly.
Amara gave a thumbs up to Serena and Heero.

Everyone (every single one of them) was sitting on the blankets while talking and eating.
Seyia suddenly cleared his throat. "Did any of you get memories when you kissed?"
Everyone looked at him in shock. "You too?" Amara said.
"So did we." Duo said.
"I think we all did." Serena said, looking around at everyone.
Lucretia looked at her. "Earlier, when Seyia and I received our memories, he said something about your memories being false."
Serena looked confused. "Yes, they were, but I don't understand. Why would I have false memories?"
Lucretia began to explain what she knew. "Your father and my father had made a deal before your father died. It was that you and Endymione and you were to marry. You hated him, but he was obsessed with you. Your mother didn't want you to marry, but she didn't want to dishonor your father's wishes, so she didn't stop the deal. Had she stopped it, it would have started a war, and she didn't want that either."
Serena looked at her, as if she remembered something else. "That's right...she knew of my love for Heero, but she didn't do anything to stop it. The night he died, she came to my room and told me everything. That she didn't want me to marry Endymione, but she didn't want to break the promise my father had to King Terra. She kept telling me that she was sorry." Tears were streaming down Serena's face as she remembered that night.
Heero pulled her closer and allowed her to cry.
Amy looked at Lucretia, wanting to change the subject for Serena. "You were Endymione's sister?"
"I was his younger sister."
"Trista, why were our true memories blocked?" Raye asked.
"The only reason I can come up with is that Selenity didn't want us to remember our pain of loosing them, there by making us sad and making us think that they were either out there somewhere with no clue about their past or not out there at all. It would send us into a deep depression, making us lose battles and end up dying, letting evil rule."
"But why would my mother give me the memories, making me think that I was in love with Darien?" Serena asked, shuddering.
A bright light suddenly appeared in the middle of them. When it died down, Queen Selenity stood there before them.
"I didn't. I thought, when you received your memories of the moon, that you had just chosen Darien, because that was how you felt about him after being reborn. Then, when I gave you more memories on the moon, I didn't know where you dying for Endymione came from, but I went along with it, not wanting you to know that you had hated him. It would have affected you, affected the way you fought Beryl. I didn't learn until later that your father had done that. Even after death, he still wanted the bond between Earth and the moon. . . Your father never did understand why I wanted you to fall in love and then get married. Well. . .Serves your father right. I got my way! You are going to marry the man you love." Selenity said, beaming with pride and happiness.
Another bright light surrounded them and a man, looking very proud and very angry, stood next to Queen Selenity. He was the spitting image of Serena. . .obviously her father.
"Selenity." He said, somewhat stiffly, yet with love, even though it was covered in anger, you could still tell that he loved her.
"Tranquility." She said, smugly, yet also with love.
He turned to Serena. "You, young lady, are very much in trouble."
Serena's eye twitched slightly. "Oh really?"
"Yes, really. I can't believe you! Breaking the treaty that Terra and I made! I thought your mother brought you up better than that."
Serena's fists were bunching up like crazy, but it was Selenity that spoke up. "You want the bond so much! You marry Endymione!!"
Everyone's eyebrows rose.
A thought struck Serena. "Dad. . .what do you want for me more than anything in the universe?"
Tranquility looked at her in mild surprise. "For you to be happy. You know that."
She looked him straight in his eyes. "Then why are you forcing me into something that will make me unhappy for the rest of eternity? Dad, Endymione was not and is not what he seems. He was aggressive, possessive, abusive-mentally and physically, cruel, and downright mean. Not only that, but this is the second time he's joined Beryl, the first time, I don't think that he meant to, but this time, I have a gut feeling that he wants to be there. He craved power and nothing else. Daddy please, let it go. Heero and I were and are in love. Dad, please. Let me choose who I'm going to marry."
Tranquility looked into his daughter's eyes. They were the same color of his own, they shown with the same determination, but they showed the wisdom of his wife. He thought for a little while. "Alright. You and Heero have my consent."
Serena smiled and then winked. "Good, because we don't really care what you say. We're together and that's that."
Tranquility looked stunned, while Selenity laughed at her daughter's stubbornness, which was exactly like her father's.
"I could arrange it differently!" He said, a weak threat behind it.
"You're dead, I'm not. I've got the silver crystal. You don't. Tough luck Dad, you almost had me scared there. Besides, even if you did try something, I could undo it and you know it. I'm my mother's heir."
Tranquility was sputtering with shock at the indignity of it all. Selenity, still laughing, began to pull him back, "Come on darling. We'd better get going. It's getting late. Besides, she gets it from you."
Everyone laughed as Serena's parents disappeared. The look on his face had been priceless.
