Chapter 34

Pool Paradise
*******************
:Saturday:
Serena woke up feeling warm and protected. She looked around her and came face to face with Quatre, still sleeping. She smiles and runs her hands through his blond hair. What in the world happened? She asked herself.
A flash of the night before told her exactly what happened. Who in the world was Rini? She shrugs her shoulders and cuddles closer to Quatre.
The movement jerked Quatre out of his deep sleep and he inhaled deeply and blinked the sleep from his eyes. Where am I? He thought to himself. He looked down and saw the top of Serena's head and exhaled deeply. Oh. He gently detangles himself from Serena and stands beside the bed and looks down on her. Such innocence and beauty. He shakes his head and leaves the room quietly.
Serena wakes up when she felt the warmth leave her. She sits up in the bed and frowns when she sees that Quatre left. "Oh well. Might as well get washed and dressed." She tumbled from the bed and headed to the bathroom.
*
After washing and dressing Quatre headed for the kitchen where he met up with the other Pilots and Sammy.
"Morning." He said.
"Morning." They all replied.
"How is Serena?" asked Sammy.
Quatre sat down and fixed himself a plate and smiled at the boy. "Your sister is fine."
"That's a relief." Said Wufei.
"So what's happening today?" asked Quatre, eating.
"I have to perform at the circus today and I thought it would be a good idea to get Serena out of the house. I think she would like to see the circus."
"Me too!" yelled Sammy gleefully, jumping up and down in his seat getting food all over.
Trowa ducked when a stray piece of sausage sailed his way. "Yes Sam, you too."
"Yeah!" and Sammy clapped his hands.
The door to the kitchen opened and they all turned to see Serena enter.
She smiled at them all and fixed herself some breakfast.
"What's up guys?" She sat besides her brother and ruffled his hair.
"Serena!" he squealed and she smiled down at him.
"We're going to the circus!" said Sammy happily.
Serena's eyes shone brightly. "Really? That sounds like fun."
Trowa nodded. "I have to perform today so you'll get to see my act."
"Wow! How exciting! When will we be leaving?" She asked as she finished her food.
Heero, who had be quiet the whole time, looked at his watch. "Not for a little while. The first show is at 4 and its only 12:30."
"Well what can we do in the meantime? I'm bored." Whined Duo, who had remained relatively quiet until that moment.
Wufei shot him a look. "Baka."
Serena glared at Wufei. "Fei-chan. What have I told you about calling Duo names?" Her blue eyes glinted silver when the light hit them at the right angle.
The Pilots all looked at her. "What?" she asked and her eyes returned to normal.
"Nothing." Said Wufei.
Serena eyes them, not sure if she believes them or not.
"We could always go swim in my pool." Suggested Quatre.
Serena turned to him. "You have a pool?" she squealed.
Quatre smiled. "Of course. What mansion would be complete without one?"
Serena's smile fell. "But I don't have a bathing suit."
"Sure you do. We went to the beach once and it should be in your room." Said Duo.
"Great!" And Serena ran out of the room.
"I guess that means we have to get dressed as well." Sighed Heero as he left to go change.
The others all left the kitchen to change.
Serena was up in her room searching through her closet for the bathing suit. She came across a beautiful dress and she lightly ran her fingers along it. Her eyes glazed over as she saw something she didn't remember.
******* Vision *******
*"Now entering The Lady Serena! She is being escorted by Sirs Heero, Duo, Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei!" yelled the announcer as the crowd turned towards them.
Serena glided down the stairs, wearing a silver colored gown with rose- colored gems criss crossing over her dress. The dress is low cut and high waisted, sleeveless and the back is criss-crossed as well. Her hair is a mass of curls and braids piled onto her head and trailing down her back in a cascade of molten gold. She has a silver adornment that wraps around her forehead and a ruby falling from it to rest just above and in between her eyes. Her hand, encased in white gloves holds onto the banister as she descends. Her feet are also encased in white dancing slippers. Her cheeks are speckled with silver and rose- colored sparkles.
What was this? A ball? Weird.*
******* End *******
Serena blinked as the vision faded and she stared at the dress. "Strange." She rummaged through the closet until she found the silver bikini.
"I wore this?" She shrugs and puts it on. She also found the sarong and sunglasses and put them on as well.
She walked out of the room and met with everyone else by the back door.
She smiles at Sammy in his little Hawaiian printed trunks. "Nice Sam."
He puffs out his chest with pride. "I picked them out myself."
"Of course." She replied.
"Ok lets go swimming." Cried Duo and he bounces out of the house and around the corner to the very back of the mansion that isn't easily seen by people who didn't know that a pool was there.
The pool was half inside half outside. The inside was like a grotto with dim lights and a waterfall. Leafy green plants surrounded the whole pool. There was a slide that went into the deep end that was located on the outside part of the pool. The inside was more for intimacy and quietness. It was lighted by dim green lights located in the pool and there was a little corner that was a Jacuzzi. There was also a swim up bar near that back of the pool, deep inside.
"I call it my Pool of Paradise." Said Quatre and laughed.
Serena looked on in shear amazement. "I can't have seen this before. I would have remembered seeing something this extraordinary."
Quatre laughed. "No, you haven't seen this before. We haven't gotten around to it."
"Oh."
"Well what are we waiting for?" yelled Duo and he jumped into the deep end of the pool making a big splash, wetting Heero and Wufei.
They both glare at him and dive in after him.
"I'll get you Maxwell!" shouted Wufei.
"I'll kill you." Stated Heero.
Serena smiled as she went into the grotto part of the pool and settled into the warm water. "This is so great Quatre."
"Yeah...... well......" and he blushed.
Sammy slips into the water and swims around to the best of his ability.
"Hey Sam. Let me teach you to swim properly." Said Duo, swimming up to him.
"You really will?" said Sam.
"Sure." Duo grabbed Sammy and started to teach him the basics of swimming.
Serena watched them in wonder. "Duo is so great with Sammy."
"That's because he's hardly but a kid himself. He can relate." Said Trowa. He walks into the pool and settles down near Serena and Quatre does the same.
"I guess you're right." And Serena pushes away from the wall and starts to swim.
"I'll never get her." Said Quatre.
"I agree."
They stayed like that for a couple hours. Alternating between playing, swimming, relaxing and getting a drink at the swim up bar.
Trowa looked at the clock on the far wall. "I have to go. I need to be there early to get ready." Trowa lifted himself from the pool and went inside.
"We'll go in shortly to get ready and go to the circus."
"Yeah circus!" cried Sammy.
