The Picnic and Carnival and Chaos
Morning arrives at the Ten'oh household, with a loud crash. "TRINITY! What are you doing up out of the wheel chair?" Asks Michiru as she runs up to the shorter girl. "How can you walk? Hotaru said you would have to remain in the wheelchair for at least another week. This is such good news. I must awaken Haruka and Setsuna." Michiru runs off to fetch the other adults to see this miracle.
"I get out of bed, take my shower, and walk down they stairs and she thinks it's a MIRACLE." Trinity grumbles as she watches the food that Michiru left to cook.
Trinity begins to prepare five plates of food for breakfast. The sounds of running feet heard, as the Outer Scouts run down the stairs to see their princess. In the Kitchen, Trinity is sitting at the table scarffing down the food on her plate. "Michiru, these are good eggs and pancakes. A good thing I stayed down and made sure they did not burn, while you ran upstairs to awaken the others." Teases Trinity.
Haruka runs over to her neko-hime and takes her in a huge hug. "Keneko-chan, I have missed you." She cries on Trinity's shoulder. Hotaru and Setsuna run up and embrace both in a Group hug along with Michiru.
"What are we gonna tell the boys when they come? I mean wont they wonder how Trinity is walking now when she could barely move yesterday." Hotaru asks the group.
"We will tell them that earlier today the doctor removed the casts saying that Trinity can walk now with crutches, but to only use them sparingly. That is the truth, though a week early." Setsuna sighs.
The girls nod, though most of them wondering how Trinity is healing sped up. So being the youngest Hotaru asks, "Usa-mama how is it that you have healed so quickly? You could barely move. No to mention you had just started talking coherently to us. Now this…" As the girl-child waves her hands at her friends' body.
"I don't know what happened, all I know is that when I was talking with Mr. Trowa-kun it seemed that his personal energy started healing me. It was like the sun shinning on a flower bud, encouraging it to bloom." Trinity states, while walking to the dishwasher to put her stuff away. "Bye the way, I have the homework done for yesterday. I caught up with the other students for the year. It seemed rather easy this time compared to when I was in Jubban."
The others stunned by this realization. Setsuna asks to look over Trinity's homework, just to double check it. "All seems in order here, as far as I can see you have surpassed Mercury's brain power by over ten fold."
"Don't look so shocked." Teases Trinity as she smiles at the girls. "I have been taking advanced classes when I was in detention. Mrs. Haruna's husband taught me college courses for the last 5 yrs. I just never told anyone, I wanted it to be a surprise at graduation."
The Outer Scouts go to one knee and bow their heads. "We have never doubted you, hime. We are very proud that you have been able to keep up your grades." Hugs are giving once more around, before lateness of the time. "I believe we all have dates to get ready for. At least Makato is not here to say that any of them look like her ex-boyfriend." All the girls laugh at this and run to get ready before 11 am.
After arriving at the Brownstone, the boys do notice that Trinity's casts are missing and send questioning looks towards the girls. Since the truth is best Setsuna say what had decided on earlier. The Gundam guys take this as fact, and escort the girls to the park. Where Rashid has set up the foodstuffs on a near by picnic table.
Trinity and Trowa sit at the table conversing over nothing really. Setsuna and Quatra talk quietly, while sitting at the base of a tree. Heero and Michiru stand next to each other, leaning against a tree not talking just watching. Hotaru and Dou throw the Frisbee in the park. Off in the distance Wufei and Haruka are sparring a little bit.
"It seems that our friends like each others company." Trinity states while watching the others.
((Ok … Trowa will now become OOC sorry))
"Yes" Trowa answers. He seems nervous about something, clears his throat. "Would you, and your friends, like to go to the carnival in town tonight?"
Taken slightly aback Trinity smiles and nods her head. "We would love to go. Though," sighs, "I should ask them first. I will do it when we eat for lunch. That way it will be easier." Trinity laughs, drawing the attention of the other girls with her.
Unknowingly, it also attracts the attention of others just outside the group.
The first a young woman in the park looks towards the laughter. 'Serenity-hime, at last you have returned. It is time now to awaken your prince. Though, it seems that you might have started the wheels turning in his head.' The woman smiles as she watches the group of ten people. 'I wonder if the Inners will allow you to follow your heart this time. I hope you stay safe from them until the final battles.' The blue haired girl walks off to find her friends at the local carnival. Looking back over her shoulder, Fisheye, with a worried look at the two people sitting on the picnic table. 'I know the Quartet will be ready to awaken their prince. I wonder if they will accept the Princess to be his bride. No matter, at least we seven have been watching over him with Mistress Catherine at the Circus.'
The others the laughter disturbs a couple walking down the path, heading towards a bench overlooking a nearby lake. Mamaru and Rei are just sitting down when the laughter echo's off the lake and trees. Both jump up at the sound, looking around wildly to see if the spirits are displeased. "Ah, Mama-koi, you did dump the body in the lake, right?" Rei asks as she holds a talisman in her hand about ready to throw at the bench. "No. I thought you girls took care of it. I had to return to the US to continue classes at Harvard." The dark haired couple, scurry out of the park speaking in harsh tones to each other. "We couldn't lift her body if we wanted…" "Well, I left when you girls were arguing while she was dying…" "I know Chad did not take it…"
Watching the arguing couple leave, Setsuna sighs. 'At least they did not recognize us outers. Though, I know they recognized the hime's laughter.' Looks up from her musings, and heads with the others to the picnic table.
"The food looks great. Is there enough for all of us?" Duo asks as he starts devouring food at an astonishing rate of speed. Then nearly chokes on a chicken leg when he sees Trinity's' speed of intake. Twice as fast as his, so to catch up Duo tries stuffing the food in fast and starts choking on bread sticks. Haruka being the closest helps the poor braided-baka, then offers some good advice. "Don't try to keep up with Trinity. Just try to make sure you get some of the food. However, you may give her a run for her money. You will never win the bet on who eats the fastest, you, or her." Haruka laughs and sits back down near Wufei to finish her meal.
