The jeep jerked to a stop, causing Sere to drop the rubix cube, she'd just solved.

"Steady on the brakes Raven." She muttered, picking it up.

"We're here." Raven stated, getting out the jeep.

Taru and Sere followed. There in front of them was a large house, with two garages on the right hand side. Raven walked up to the front door, and unlocked it with her key. All three then went in.

"It's fairly large." Taru murmered.

Barking reached their ears. Into sight ran a large German Shepard. Raven knelt down and welcomed it.

"Reba." She sighed, "You've grown handsome boy."

"Miss Raven, it's good to have you back." A male voice said, "The same goes for you Miss Hotaru and Miss Serena."

Out of the shadows stepped a tall man with green eyes and brown hair. Some of which fell over his left eye. He was wearing black trousers and a white shirt that was open near the top.

"I am Evan Kaimah." He told them, "I'm what you call a butler and house keeper. I take care of the house and grounds."

"Lawrence, your Father did the same before you." Raven said standing up, "I remember everything now. Oh and don't call me 'Miss' Evan. I don't like it."

Evan smiled.

"Let's get you settled in." He replied, leading the way to the stairs.

Raven, Hotaru and Serena followed. All of them remembering which rooms were which as they walked past.

"Did you know we were coming back?" Hotaru asked, as they climbed the stairs.

"Yes. I knew you'd come during the spring after Serena turned eighteen." Evan answered, "But I didn't know the exact day."

They stopped outside the first door on the right.

"This is your old room Raven. Hotaru yours is at the front of the house on the left." Evan told them, "Serena yours is the second room after Hotaru's."

Hotaru and Serena ran off to their rooms. Evan followed Raven into hers.

"Raven, I need to tell you some more things." He said, "Your mobiles will now be completely black and have a few odd numbers in them. Those numbers are for people who may request your help later on. Only you have those numbers."

Raven nodded.

"Anything else?" She asked, putting her bag on her bed.

"Yeah. Do you remember Quatre Winner?" Evan answered, "A blonde lad you used to play with when you were little."

"He was always polite and kind." Raven said, "What about him?"

"He's been in contact with me since you left." Evan explained, "Would it be okay if I let him know you're back?"

"Sure." Raven smiled, "I'd like to see him."

Evan nodded and left her to settle in.

* * *

Three days later at two o'clock, Evan answered the door to five lads.

"Master Quatre please come in." He said allowing everyone in.

"I can't believe Raven and the others are finally back." Quatre sighed, "I hope you don't mind me bringing my friends?"

Before Evan could answer, a tall lass with blue eyes and long blonde hair walked out a room. She was wearing jeans and a vest top. She looked at Evan, then at the five lads.

"Quatre Raberba Winner." She muttered, "You sure haven't lost your boyish looks."

Quatre smiled, "I'm happy to know you remember me, Hotaru."

"Guess you'll want to see Rave and Sere." Hotaru replied, "I'll take you to them. Evan, can you bring drinks to the pool for us?"

Evan nodded and watched as Hotaru led the lads further into the house.

* * *

'I can't believe I'm here' Raven thought calmly, the swirl of water around her, 'It feels like I'm finally home.'

She moved her hands through the water and onto her knees. Her breathing had slowed due to the fact she was sat on the bottom of the pool. Even as her train of thoughts passed to something else, she felt vibrations in the water. Opening her eyes and looking up. She saw five lads stood with Hotaru and Serena. Smiling she swam up to the surface. Startling them all when she broke the surface.

Evan walked in with a tray, as Raven sat on the edge of the pool, drying her hair slightly.

"Raven, I believe you remember Master Quatre." Evan said.

Raven stood up, turning to face the lads.

"It's good to see you again Quatre." She said, tying her hair in a loose plait, "So what have you been up to with us away?"

"Just the usual." Quatre answered, "Schools, then college. Oh these are my friends. Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton and Wufei Chang."

"It's a pleasure." Raven said to them, "I'm Raven Sohmara. My sister Serena Sohmara and my cousin Hotaru Sohmara."

"Nice to meet ya." Duo muttered.

Evan handed out drinks to them all.

"Raven whilst I remember, Terry said that your bike was giving off an odd squeak when he used it yesterday." Evan told her, "He asked me to tell you. And to also thank you for allowing him to use it."

Raven rolled her eyes.

"I'll check it later." She said, sitting down on one of the few sun lounges.

The lads followed her lead. Hotaru and Serena had already sat down. They all then began talking. Mostly Quatre and the lasses. Them having twelve years to catch up on.

* * *

"Quatre when were you going to tell us you knew hot babes like them?" Duo asked, as they left Twilight Manor.

"I haven't seen or heard from them in twelve years, Duo." Quatre said, "But I'm glad their back. They were always fun to be around."

"Why did they leave for so long?" Wufei asked curious.

"Because all three of them were in danger." Quatre answered, "They were sent away so they could live."

Heero and Trowa both looked at him, figuring out what he wasn't saying out loud. They carried on walking in silence.

* * *

A few days later, Trowa and Heero were walking past a store, when Serena and Hotaru walked out of it.

"Can you believe that clerk?" Hotaru complained, "Trying to make a pass at me. As if I'd date a jerk like him."

"Taru, I don't think you should have had a go at him." Serena said, "Anyway, where's Raven? Didn't she say she'd meet us here?"

Hotaru turned to face her cousin and ended up walking into Trowa.

"Sorry. Oh it's you Trowa." She said, "Well sorry I bumped into you."

"It's okay." Trowa replied, "What you two up to?"

"Just getting some things for the house." Serena answered, "You?"

"We're just…" Trowa began, but stopped as a scream filled all their ears.

"HEERO!!!"

"God, won't she ever leave me alone." Heero muttered, as a blonde haired, blue eyed lass ran up to them and dived on him.

Serena and Hotaru exchanged looks.

"Heero you're good at mechanics." She smiled, "Can you fix my car? Something's wrong with the engine."

That's when Serena and Hotaru glanced past Heero and Trowa and saw the jeep, with someone under it.

"Alright, there's the jeep." Sere cried and hurried over. Hotaru followed with Heero and Trowa. As well as the lass.

"Yo Rave, when do you ever stop tinkering with your car?" Hotaru asked.

"Shut it Taru and pass me the socket wrench." A voice replied.

Hotaru passed over the tool.

"There done." The voice muttered.

Out from under the jeep, came Raven. She packed her tools away and put them into the glove compartment.

"Hi Heero, Trowa." She said turning round and seeing them.

"You can do mechanics!" The lass clinging to Heero cried in surprise.

"Yeah cling-on I can." Raven replied.

"My name's Relena Peacecraft." The lass stated.

"Right well you look like a cling-on to me." Raven muttered.

"Rave, we good to go now?" Hotaru asked depositing her bought goods in the jeep, as Serena got in.

"Sure." Raven answered, "Trowa, Quatre asked if you'd be able to pick up some books for him, from my house. I guess he figured we'd meet up."

"When's the best time?" Trowa asked.

"Just jump in." Serena answered, "Might as well get them now. Anyway I heard you were a mean chess player. I wanna see if it's true."

Trowa smiled and nodded. Hotaru and Trowa got in the back with Serena.

"Heero you joining us?" Taru asked, "Lose the cling-on first though."

Relena let go of Heero furiously.

"I'm not a cling-on." She snapped, not realising both Heero and Raven had got in the jeep.

"Never mind. We're out of here." Raven smiled and drove off.

Leaving a fuming lass behind on the pavement.

* * *

Two hours later, Heero found Raven sat reading in the library.

"Do you always get chased by the cling-on?" Raven asked, looking up at him as he approached her.

"Yeah. It's really annoying." Heero answered, sitting down, "She won't leave me alone."

"Tell you what. I'll rescue you every time she's around." Raven said, "What do you reckon?"

Heero smiled.

"Thanks." He muttered.

Raven's mobile rang and she answered it.

"Hello? ... Yes, this is her… … … … … … … WHAT!!! … … I'll be right there. …"

She hung up and closed her book.

"You'll have to come with me for a bit." She told him, "That was Lady Une. Someone I've been told you know."

Heero nodded and followed her out the room. As she led him to the garages, they walked past Evan.

"Tell the others we were called out." She said to him, "And don't let them follow."

Evan nodded, "Take your bike. It's faster."

Raven grabbed the keys and walked through the garage door. Heero followed her.

'Must have got a call from Lady Une.' Evan thought, as he finished off the task he was doing, 'I'll leave it a while before I tell them.'

Smiling to himself he headed for his bedroom.

* * *

Raven pulled up outside a warehouse. Both she and Heero entered. Lights were switched on, blinding them.

"Should have known you'd be the one brought here Heero." A female voice said, "You must be Raven Sohmara."

Raven's eyes focused and she saw four people stood in front of her. Two female and two male.

"And just who the hell are all of you." Raven replied, coldly.

"I am Lady Une." The woman with brown hair answered, "This is Noin, Zechs and Dr. O."

Raven felt slightly uneasy.

"What do you want?" She demanded, moving closer to Heero, "You threatened to expose my family. I wanna know why."

"That was only a guise to get you here." Dr. O told her, "We really wanted to ask for your developing skills. We are trying to develop a more movable mobile suit, which will out move the mobile dolls."

"If that's all, I'm leaving." Raven said, and turned to leave, brushing past Heero slightly, "One last thing. If you even think of threatening my family. I will hunt you down and kill you."

"Miss Sohmara, there was another thing." Zechs said, "It concerns your friends."

Raven stopped and turned to face him.

"Let me guess, you were going to tell me that Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei are the pilots of the Gundams. And that my family's skills could aide them a lot."

Lady Une, Noin, Zechs and Dr. O all stared at her. Where as Heero only glanced at her.

"How'd you find out?" Noin asked.

"Do you really think it's that hard to hack into any system?" Raven answered, "Before I returned back here, I worked with computers. So I think I'd find a little hacking, simple to do."

"Is this all you dragged her down here for?" Heero asked, "To pester her into helping you. If that's the case you'll find more help in a ditch."

He then steered Raven outside, retrieving his gun back off her in the process. They rode off, on Raven's motorbike shortly after.

* * *

By the second to last day in March, Raven, Hotaru and Serena had settled quite well. Only Hotaru and Serena were thinking about what was happening in the past.

"Evan we never did ask what would happen in the past with us here." Serena said, "What exactly will happen?"

"Well you have a choice. To stay here or return to the past." Evan explained, "The blue stoned bracelet you wear is what calls up the time portal. To stay forever in one time you must snap it in that time."

"How long do we have to decide?" Hotaru asked, "And are we able to get back into the past?"

"Five months from the first of April." Evan answered, "You can travel between both times up until the five months are up. Then you definitely need to choose."

"How are we meant to snap them once we've decided?" Raven said, playing with her own bracelet, "None of us have been able to remove them at all."

"That was due to the charm put on them." Evan replied, "It ended when you regained your memories. Now I suggest you all go relax. I'll make up some drinks for you."

All three lasses nodded and headed to their indoor swimming pool.

* * *

Ten minutes later Evan was heading to the pool with some drinks, when he bumped into Raven.

"I'm heading for the gym to train for a while." She told him, slipping something on the tray he held, "Make sure I'm not disturbed for at least an hour."

Evan nodded and continued to the pool.

"Your drinks." He said, kneeling at the edge of the pool and offering the tray.

Both Hotaru and Serena reached for their drinks at the same time. That's when they spotted the broken bracelet on the tray.

"Raven's bracelet." Serena muttered.

"I guess she's staying then." Hotaru said, "We don't need to make our decisions yet, do we Evan?"

"No you don't." Evan answered, "Raven made hers, as she knew it's what she wanted. As for you two. I suggest you pack and go into the past tomorrow. Then you'll be able to understand what you'll be leaving behind there."

"Your right." Serena sighed, "We'll go start packing soon. Will you look after Rave for us?"

Evan smiled and nodded. He then left them to relax for a while.

* * *

Early next morning Raven with Evan, drove Hotaru and Serena to the mountains where they'd first travelled into the future. The black mist appeared and hummed slightly, as they got out the jeep.

"Take care you two." Raven said, giving both her sister and cousin a hug, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

Unable to say anything, Serena and Hotaru nodded. Tears began falling down Serena's face, as Hotaru pushed her into the mist. Turning round she smiled, forcing her own tears not to fall.

"I'll take care of Sere for you." She said giving Raven a hug.

She then ran into the mist, without looking back.

"And that's that taken care of." Evan sighed, resting his hand on Raven's shoulder, "Want me to drive us back?"

Raven nodded, not trusting herself to speak. They both got in the jeep, and drove back to the Twilight manor.

* * *

"Quatre what's bugging you?" Duo asked, as the five of them walked by some shops, "You seem preoccupied."

"Serena and Hotaru went to sort out some unfinished business." Quatre answered, "Evan told me they left over a week ago. Ever since then Raven has been keeping herself busy. He's worried about her."

Heero looked at Quatre. He could tell he was worried too.

"Haven't you been to visit her?" He asked.

Quatre shook his head.

"I…" he began but got cut off.

"HEERO!!!" A voice yelled.

"Not again." Heero sighed, as all five lads cringed.

A jeep skidded to the kerb next to them.

"Need an escape?" Raven smiled, "Get in, but mind the stuff."

Trowa, Quatre, Wufei and Duo jumped in the back, as Heero got in the front.

"Gomen Heero, for not being able to do what I said until now." Raven said, as she drove off, "I've been getting some things at the manor sorted."

"Good job you appeared when you did." Heero replied, "It's happened fourteen times in the past four days."

"What are you two on about?" Duo asked, looking from one to the other.

Neither Heero nor Raven answered him. Silence fell as they drove.

* * *

Evan had just hung up the phone when Raven walked in from the garage carrying a large bag, stuffed with parcels. Behind her came, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Heero and Wufei.

"Did you get everything?" Evan asked, as Raven put her bag on the kitchen counter, and hung up her car keys.

"Yes." Raven answered, "I also got some spare. And picked up the lads."

Evan laughed.

"Oh Terry rang." He told her, "Told me to thank you for getting them there. And that Annabel had her child. Baby girl and they've named her Mai."

Raven smiled and began unpacking the parcels.

"Did you check with Lynn and Nina if they minded doing up the nursery?" She asked.

"Yes and their doing it now." Evan answered,

"You're having a nursery…" Duo muttered, "I mean you're turning one of your rooms into a nursery."

"No, one of the rooms in the small house behind the garages that's joined with the manor." Raven explained, "Servants quarters, I believe the term is. Though I hate using it."

"Anyway Raven, I think you should relax a while." Evan said, "You've been active for thirty eight hours with hardly any sleep. Go chill by the pool with the lads. I'll bring some drinks through."

Raven nodded. She was then steered out the room and to the pool by the lads. Leaving Evan to put the parcels away, as they weren't to be opened in front of the lads.

* * *

Two days later, Heero, Trowa and Quatre called round again. Raven was no longer busy with things round the manor and was actually sat at the bottom of the pool, when the lads walked in, after Evan had told them where she was.

"Wonder if she went to get changed." Quatre said, as he hadn't seen her.

"Try looking in the pool." Trowa muttered.

Quatre and Heero looked and saw her sat calmly on the bottom.

Reba ran into the room and barked. Raven's eyes opened and she looked up. Seeing the lads, she surfaced.

"Sorry, how long you been here?" She asked, sitting on the edge and drying her hair slightly, as Reba lay down near a sun lounge.

"Not long." Quatre answered, as they sat down, "We came to find out what you're going to be doing."

"Come again?" Raven said, moving onto the sun lounge Reba was laid next too.

"Well we attend Tokiyono College." Quatre explained, "I thought you might enrol. Give you something to do."

"It's not a bad idea." Raven replied, "I think I will. But I will have a few things to sort out first."

"At least we won't get all the attention." Heero muttered.

"Hey, I don't want it." Raven laughed, "If I start getting stalked by guys, I charge you Heero, to get me the hell away from them."

"Why me!" Heero argued playfully, as Quatre and Trowa smiled.

"Because I'm already charged to keep your stalker at bay. And no doubt I'll keep any others away." Raven answered with a smirk.

"Fine." Heero murmered, giving in.

Just then Evan came in with some drinks. And Quatre took the chance to tell Raven more about the college and what lessons she could take there.
