Clowning Around

After everyone got out of the pool and dressed they headed to the car to go see Trowa at the circus.
"This will be so exciting!" squealed Serena.
"Circus!" cried Sammy.
"Yes the circus." Said Quatre, who was driving.
"Yes another weekend spend watching Trowa act like a clown. Its like having two Duos." Muttered Wufei.
"Hey, I resent that!" said Duo.
"Do you even know what resent means?" asked Heero from the front seat.
"It means....... It means... that I'm seriously pissed at you." He sputtered and crossed his arms over his chest.
Serena laughed as she moves Sammy slightly in her lap and hugs him tightly.
They arrived at the circus and parked the car.
Sammy skipped in front of everyone while Serena was walking in between Heero and Wufei with Duo and Quatre trailing behind them.
They entered the big tent and went to sit down. "Why didn't we have to pay?" asked Serena.
"We never pay because we're friends of Trowa's." said Duo.
"Oh." And Serena sat down with Sammy on her lap and the guys surrounding her.
The lights dimmed as the show started. First there was the lion tamer, the contortionists, juggling, and a man who balanced on chairs and a table, and then a high wire act.
Serena's eyes narrowed as she saw the girls balancing on the wire high above their heads. She got a flash of four girls with different colored balls.
"This seems familiar." She whispered.
Duo, who was sitting next to her, leaned in close. "What was that?"
She blinked and looked at him. "Nothing."
"Ok." And he turned his attention back to the show.
"Same old same old." Said Wufei.
Just then a cannon was rolled out into the center ring. About 15 clowns were around the ring and one of them lit the cannon.
"Where is Trowa?" asked Serena.
Suddenly the cannon shot out a person and Trowa landed on the ground, standing right before his friends.
Sammy squeaked and hid on the floor.
Serena and the others stared at him wide-eyed. He was wearing green puffy clown pants and a white and orange shirt with white suspenders and his clown mask. He held out his hand to Serena and motioned for her to take it.
"Go on Serena." Urged Duo, who had picked up Sammy and was holding him in his lap.
She nodded and slowly took his hand, but as she did she disappeared.
"Well that was new." Said Wufei.
"Sere!" yelled Sammy.
"Its ok. Its probably part of the act." Said Quatre.
Heero watched on silently.
There was a purple puff of smoke in the center of the ring and Serena reappeared on top of a white horse wearing a peach and silver outfit. The crowd applauded.
Trowa back flipped and then ran back to Serena and helped her down from the horse. He pulled out a rose from out of nowhere and handed it to her. Serena blushed and took it. The rose turned into a rope and it gently lifted her into the air. Trowa took the end of it and swirled it around.
Serena held onto the rope tightly. What am I suppose to do now?
The other clowns were down on the ground doing funny skits.
Serena swung in the air and twisted, trying to figure out what to do.
Suddenly Trowa was on a rope beside her.
Two other clowns were holding the ends of the rope.
Trowa did all these amazing moves and then he held out his hand for Serena to try.
She twisted and spun around and copied Trowa as best she could. Trowa then swung over to her and their two ropes twisted together. They were really close, almost nose-to-nose and somewhere along the way Trowa had lost his clown mask. Suddenly the two ropes where attached at the top. Then Trowa moved them around so now he was holding himself up with the two ropes and Serena was on his shoulders. She pulled herself up and did a split. The crowd clapped as Trowa did a flip and wound the rope around his arms.
The Pilots were looking on in fascination, not just a little jealous.
When Trowa was upside down he did a straddle and held that while Serena did one on top of his legs and she spread her hands wide and smiled at the crowd. Then she suddenly dropped down and Trowa caught her and she swung around until she was doing a split.
The crowd was clapping wildly and stomping their feet. Trowa moved them and they finally came down out of the air and stood in the center ring. They both bowed and Trowa motioned to Serena and clapped. "Lets give our guest Serena a round of applause." He said.
Serena blushed and did a little curtsy. She hugged Trowa and gave his a kiss on the cheek. The other clowns were around them making funny faces and pretending to kiss on another. One of the clowns pretended to faint and leaned against Serena. There was a drum roll and with a puff of smoke only the ring leader was left.
"And that's our show! I hope all of you had a wonderful time." He said.
The crowd cheered and filed out of the tent.
"Where is my sister?" asked Sammy, his lower lip trembling.
"Its ok Sam. She's probably back stage." Said Quatre.
They made their way back stage and saw Serena standing next to Trowa talking with some of the other circus people. Trowa whispered something to her and she laughed, leaning up against him.
Heero's eyes narrowed. They were just a little too close for his liking.
When she spotted them she smiled and ran over. "Did you see me? Wow that was amazing. I can't believe Trowa did that to me. What if I made a fool of myself?" she rambled.
"That wouldn't of happened." Said Quatre.
"Thanks."
"Serena you were the best." Said Sammy.
"Thanks Sam." And she picks him up and hugs him.
Trowa finished talking with his friends and walks over to them. "We can leave now." He says.
"Yeah, I am so tired." Said Serena.
"Why don't you drive back with me? You can have more room to lay down." Said Trowa.
"Ok." And Serena walked off with Trowa.
"I'm coming too." Said Sammy and he ran after them.
The other Pilots looked at each other and eyed one another wearily.
"Well....... Quatre can't go because he drove the car here." Said Duo.
Quatre sighs.
"I'm the perfect person to go." Continued Duo.
"Give me a break Maxwell. A perfect person you are not." Argued Wufei.
They continued to argue and while they were occupied Heero walked off to ride with Trowa and Serena.
Quatre watched him go and sighed again. He grabbed Duo and Wufei and dragged them to the car.

In the car Serena was talking a mile a minute. "That was so awesome! Wow. I can't believe I did that. I was so scared." She trailed off as she yawned.
"Tired?" asked Heero.
"Yeah." And she rubbed at her eyes.
Sammy continued talking about the circus and who great it was. "Don't you agree Serena?" and he turned to his sister from the front seat, but Serena was already asleep curled up against Heero.
Heero sat with his arm lazily draped around her. "I'm sure she thought it was the best circus as well Sam." And he looked down at her and smiled.

I told you guys I would have it out sooner. I'm so proud of myself. Thanks for hanging with me. I appreciate it.
Just as a lil side note wish my dorm luck in our Spring Olympics. We just had our karaoke night and we came in second. I think we're in third overall and tomorrow is the softball tournament and volleyball. And I'm participating in the Tug-Of-War on Saturday. Wish me luck!
Also to PadfootCc's question:
im confused!! their from the silver millenium!?
You are referring to the Vision, Yes? That is a flashback to before Serena lost her memory. (That's all I'm telling for now. Continue reading and you might be surprised.) Please refer to the chapter titled The Ball for further understanding. I hoped that helped.
