“It’s been I while since when last saw you five.” said Rei. “But we just saw you a couple hours ago!” said Duo. “Duo, the
time gate, remember…?” whispered Quatre. “Oh, oh yeah, I forgot.” laughed Duo, hand behind his head, others sweatdrop.
“How old are you, now?” asked Quatre to Ami. “About 20.” said Ami, blushing. “You sure don’t age fast.” said Duo. “There
was a ice age that froze all the people on earth. But they where still alive, then Neo Queen Serenity saved us all with the
Ginzuishou.” said Makoto. “Ginzuishou? What’s that?” asked Duo. “This is the Ginzuishou.” said Neo Queen Serenity,
holding a beautiful, silver gem about the size of a golf ball. “It’s so, pretty.” said Quatre. “That pitiful little thing saved the
earth? I don’t believe it.” sneered Wufei. “Usako, who are these visitors?” asked a man in purple. “Oh, Endymion, don’t you
remember the five boys we were fighting at the bay?” asked Neo Queen Serenity. “Oh, those five. You haven’t come to kill
anyone, have you?” asked Endymion, the man in purple, getting his staff ready for a fight. “Why would we do such a thing?”
answered Duo. “They are allies now King Endymion.” said Rei. “At least, that’s what we thought.” said Makoto. “And your
right.” said Duo. “Would you like to stay at the palace for a while?” asked Minako. “I am up for it, how about you guys?”
asked Duo to the other 4 pilots. “I would be happy to.” said Quatre. “I don’t mind.” said Trowa. “I guess…” said Wufei.
“What about you Heero?” asked Duo. “Fine.” said Heero flatly. “Yatta! I can show you to your rooms!” squealed Minako
with delight as she grabbed Duo by the arm and started to pull him towards the stairs. The other 4 pilots follow. “I see you
haven’t changed much.” said Duo with a sweatdrop. “We’ll come too.” said Rei and she and Makoto and Ami followed. “I
am glad to see the Senshi happy.” said Neo Queen Serenity. “Mommy? I am hungry.” said a small girl with pink hair as she
walked into the thrown room, looking kind of sleepy. “Okay, Chibi-usa. We’ll get you something to eat.” said Neo Queen
Serenity as she took Chibi-usa, the pink haired girl, by the hand a lead her to the kitchen, Endymion flowing.
Upstairs…. “Here we go, your room is right here Duo-chan!” said Minako as she opened a door across from her room. The
other Senshi and pilots walked on. The room had a bed, dresser, vanity table, a full length mirror, and a TV with the newest
video game system attached. The room was mostly black. “Yatta! You sure know what I like!” said Duo as he ran and
jumped onto the bed. “Is it good enough? I decorated it myself!” said Minako. “Hai! I love black!” said Duo as he got up
and went over to the vanity table. He then pulled out one of the drawers. In it were hair brushes, combs, and hair ties. He
opened another and in it was candy. “Did you get to know me this well?” asked Duo, still looking in the drawers. “Yeah,
pretty much.” said Minako. “Where you expecting us?” asked Duo, looking at Minako. “Hai.” said Minako with a slight evil
grin. “Oh, so that explains it.” said Duo. “Your not mad are you?” asked Minako, looking hurt. “Huh? No! I just didn’t fell
you would want us here so we weren’t expecting to be welcomed.” said Duo. “We welcome anyone we consider friends.”
explained Minako. “I didn’t think you trusted us.” said Duo. “Nani? Of course we trust you!” said Minako. “I didn’t think
you did, after we attacked you then I held a gun to Usagi’s head…” said Duo looking kind of sad. “You didn’t know it was
us. Besides, we attacked first.” said Minako. “Yeah, your right.” said Duo, grinning. “But you still shouldn’t hold guns to
people’s heads, no matter who they are.” said Minako. “Whatever.” said Duo as he fell onto the bed. “Glad you like your
room. I’ll be back later, you don’t have to say in here, you can walk about.” said Minako as she left the room. Duo smiled as
he sat up to watch her leave.
Further down the upstairs hallway… “Okay, here’s your room Quatre.” said Ami, softy as she lead Quatre into a room across
from her’s. The other 2 Senshi and 3 pilots walk on. Quatre’s room had a bed, computer, dresser, and a music stand, with a
violin in it’s case next to it. The room was blue. “How did you know I play?” asked Quatre as he walked over to the violin
case and opened it. “Michiru told me. She said Duo said it in he sleep.” said Ami as she joined Quatre. “Thank you.” said
Quatre. “Can you play me a tune?” asked Ami. “Be glad to.” said Quatre as he positioned the violin under his chin and raised
the bow. He then started to play with great grace and skill as each note can out of the instrument. The tune he played
sounded so sad. Quatre stopped when he notice tears running down Ami’s cheeks. “Ami, what’s wrong?” asked Quatre, very
concerned as he reached out to touch her face. “Nothing, it’s just that tune was so sad I couldn’t help myself from crying. ”
whispered Ami as Quatre graced his hand over he cheek to wipe away the tears. “Should I play a happier tune then?” asked
Quatre softly. “That would be nice.” said Ami as she stopped crying and managed a smile. Quatre started to play again, but
this time the tune was that of which you would hear in a fairy tale. “You play beautifully.” commented Ami after Quatre
finished the song. “Arigato.” said Quatre as he put the violin back into it’s case. “I hope you like the room. I’ll be back later.”
said Ami as she left. “See you later Ami-chan.” said Quatre as she left. Ami paused and turned when he called her Ami-chan,
she was blushing. Quatre smiled at how she looked. Ami couldn’t help but smile and she turned and left.
Even further down the hall upstairs… “Here’s the room. ” said Rei as she stopped by a door across from her room. “About
time.” sneered Wufei. Makoto, Trowa and Heero walk on. “Oh, come on, don’t be that way.” said Rei. Wufei just stood with
his arms crossed. “Do you even remember what we talked about before you went into the time gate. I sure do.” said Rei.
Wufei’s eyes got slightly bigger as he blushed slightly. “So you do remember.” said Rei with a evil grin. “H..hai.” stuttered
Wufei. “Well come in already!” said Rei as she grabbed Wufei by the hand. The room only had a bed, a closet and a small
table, the rest of the room was empty. It was a red color. “Not much in here.” said Wufei and he eyed the walls. “If you
promise not to hurt anyone, you can have these.” said Rei as she opened a closet in the corner of the room and pulled out a
bundle of swords. “You could practice all your karate in the open space, if you want.” said Rei as she handed the bundle to
Wufei. “I haven’t even promised anything and your already giving me swords? You are weak minded.” said Wufei. “Maybe
cause I have trust in you now…” said Rei with a bit of anger in her face as she shoved the bundle into Wufei’s hands. “You
really do need to open up and not be so stubborn.” said Rei as she sat on the bed. Wufei placed the swords in a corner of the
room and then joined Rei on the bed. “Do you even have any emotion?” asked Rei. “Why shouldn’t I have them?” Asked
Wufei. “You sure don’t act like you have any.” said Rei. “I have them, I just don’t like to show them.” said Wufei. “Your
opening up.” said Rei as she stood up. “Where are you going?” asked Wufei. “I have go check on Usagi. I am her
protector.” said Rei as she headed for the door. “I don’t think I like you.” said Wufei a joking way. “Say what you want, but
I can see right trough you.” said Rei with evil smile as she turned and headed out the door.
Further down the hall upstairs… “Heero, this is your room, Usagi herself decorated this room. You are aloud to wonder
about around the palace, but no hacking onto the computers!” ordered Makoto as she showed Heero his room. In the room
there was a bed, and computer, a closet, and a TV. The room was mostly white. “Well, I’ll leave you to your room.” said
Makoto as she and Trowa went on down the hall. Heero opened the closet and saw tons of different colored spandex pants
and tank-tops hanging in it. Heero just shrugged and sat in front of the computer and started to type.
Further down the hall… “Here it is Trowa, hope you like it.” said Makoto, kind of nervous as she opened the door. The
room had a bed, a TV, Computer, mirror and a refrigerator. The room was mostly green. “Well? Is it okay?” asked Makoto.
“Hai.” said Trowa in a whisper. “All the food in the refrigerator was made by me, well except the drinks.” said Makoto with
a proud smile. Trowa opened the refrigerator to see it jammed with food. “You’ll let us have alcohol?” asked Trowa as he
grabbed up a beer bottle. “Yeah, but one of the Senshi has to be with you when you have it and after until your sober again.”
explained Makoto. “Oh.” said Trowa as he put the beer back. The refrigerator was small, so Trowa had to bend over to get
the food. His behind was right in Makoto’s sight. She couldn’t stop staring at it until he stood up again. “Uh, Trowa, do your
pants ever ripe?” asked Makoto. Trowa gave her a look of “are you crazy?”. Makoto sweatdroped at that. “Yes actually.”
said Trowa finally. “Well, if they ever do, I can sew then up for you.” said Makoto, trying to cover up for the weird
question. “That’s very kind of you.” said Trowa. Makoto looked surprised at his answer. “You don’t think my question
was… weird?” asked Makoto. “It was, but it’s not nice to make a woman feel hurt, embarrassed or stupid.” said Trowa.
“Your not like other men I have known.” said Makoto as she blushed a little. Trowa could only smile at the strong girl
blushing. “I.. I have to go watch Usagi now, I may be back later.” said Makoto and she quickly headed out of the door.
Trowa just stood and watched as she left.
Back in the thrown room… “Good, we’re all here. Did you all show the boys’ their rooms?” asked Neo Queen Serenity.
“Hai.” said the 4 Senshi. “I hope you all got to know each other.” said Neo Queen Serenity. The Senshi all smile. “I’ll take
that as a yes.” said Neo Queen Serenity with a smile herself. “But are you sure you can trust Heero?” asked Makoto. “I am
sure.” said Neo Queen Serenity. “Who’s Heero?” asked Chibi-usa as she walked in. “Oh, Small Lady.” said Rei. “Who’s
Heero?” asked Chibi-usa again. “One of your Mommy’s many cruses…” said Minako with a evil grin. Neo Queen Serenity
gave Minako a death glare. “Can I meet Heero?” asked Chibi-usa. “Not right now. Maybe later.” said Ami. “But Ami-san! I
am bored and want something to do!” whined Chibi-usa. “Tomorrow. They need to get used to their rooms and
surroundings first.” explained Minako. “There are more!?” asked Chibi-usa with amazement. “Yeah, one for each of us!”
said Minako. “Oh, Minako-chan.” sighed Makoto as the others sweatdrop. “Well, tell me when I can meet them.” said
Chibi-usa with her eyes bright and lips in a smile. “Of course Small Lady.” said Ami. Chibi-usa skipped off to another part of
the palace.
Later, deep into the night… “Quatre? Are you in?” asked Ami as she knocked on the door to Quatre’s room. “Hai” said
Quatre from inside. Ami opened the door. Quatre was siting on the bed, looking out a window at the night sky. “What are
you doing?” asked Ami and she joined Quatre by the window. “Just looking at the stars. Aren’t they beautiful?” answered
Quatre, still looking out the window. “Yeah, they are.” said Ami. “But not as beautiful as you.” said Quatre as he stared at
Ami. “Nani…” said Ami, surprised, blushing. “It’s the truth.” whispered Quatre as he brushed his hand over Ami’s cheek.
“You have to be kidding.” said Ami softly. “No, I am not.” said Quatre as he tilted Ami’s chin up so they could see eye to
eye. “Your eyes are beautiful Quatre.” said Ami softly. “So are yours.” said Quatre as he smiled at her. “May I kiss you?”
asked Quatre as he pulled Ami closer. “H..hai…” said Ami slowly and softly. Quatre’s lips met Ami’s at which Ami blushed
the darkest red you had ever seen. The two fell over onto the bed as they finished the kiss, looking into each other’s eyes. “I
can trust you, right Quatre?” asked Ami in a small daze, eyes closing. “Hai.” said Quatre and he held Ami close, the two
falling asleep for the night.
At the door of Wufei’s room… Rei slowly creaked the door open. She stepped in. Wufei was asleep on his bed. He didn’t
have a shirt on and his hair was untied. “He looks angelic while he sleeps.” thought Rei to herself as she approached the
sleeping body. Wufei flipped from his side to his back, making Rei stop for a moment, then she continued. She walked over
to his bed quietly and bent over him. Her lips got close to his when Wufei’s eyes suddenly flew open. “What the..!!” said
Wufei as he punched the intruder in the stomach. “Ow…” yelped Rei as she fell over onto the bed, grasping her stomach.
“Wait, Rei!? What are you doing in my room!?” asked Wufei when he finally found the intruder to be Rei. “Damn it Wufei.
Do you have to be so aggressive!” said Rei with anger, still holding her stomach. “You should have asked me if you could
come in.” said Wufei. “You were asleep!” said Rei, still lying down. “Still, it’s your own fault for getting hurt.” said Wufei.
“Your so heartless!” yelled Rei, still lying down. Wufei looked down at her, then laid down beside her, face to face. Rei
looked angry. “It’s not that I am heartless, I was just mad that you have seen me with my hair untied. I look weak with it
down.” confessed Wufei with strange softness in his voice. Anger left Rei’s face. “Why are you so obsessed with things being
weak or not?” asked Rei. “My wife was a strong woman, but I never realized it until she was dead.” said Wufei, sadness in
his face. “That’s horrible!” said Rei. “But I know her soul still lives inside my Gundam.” said Wufei. “Whatever you believe
in, keep it that way.” said Rei as she grasp Wufei’s hand. “Rei, what were you going to do if I hadn’t woken up?” asked
Wufei. “I was going to kiss you.” said Rei, slightly blushing. “Would you forgive me for punching you if I let you do so?”
asked Wufei. “Only if you want me too.” said Rei as she gazed into Wufei’s eyes. Wufei just nodded. Rei immediately kissed
him, surprising Wufei. She then rapped her arms around Wufei’s neck, digging her hands into his jet black hair. Wufei’s eyes
were big as he looked at the girl who was kissing him. His eyes shrunk to their normal size as he relaxed, then rapped his
arms around the black haired girl. His eyes shut as he fell asleep, Rei did as well, leaving the two embracing in sleep.
In the hall upstairs… “Hey Trowa? Can I come in?” asked Makoto as she knocked on the door. “Sure.” said Trowa as he
opened the door. “So how do you like it here?” asked Makoto. “Fine.” said Trowa as he sat down on the bed. “Is my food
okay?” asked Makoto. “Hai.” said Trowa. “It hasn’t made you sick or anything?” asked Makoto. Trowa suddenly stood up.
He then walked over the Makoto and put his hands on her shoulders as he bent down to see eye to eye. “Makoto, don’t be
so nervous. If you worry to much, then you can’t enjoy what you are doing.” said Trowa, his green eyes sparkling. Makoto
looked into his eyes with her green eyes. “Did you hear me?” asked Trowa. “H…hai.” said Makoto. “Good girl.” said Trowa
softly as he let go of her and went back over to the bed. “Your rather kind for a man who has been in a war.” said Makoto.
“War can teach you to be happy with your life, any life is better than the life of a solider.” said Trowa as he laid back onto
the bed. “Your mysterious.” said Makoto as she walked over to the bed. Trowa shut his eyes. “How did you ever talk your
parents into letting you be a pilot of a Gundam?” asked Makoto as she sat on the bed next to Trowa. “I don’t have any
parents.” said Trowa bluntly. “Oh, I am sorry, I didn’t know.” said Makoto trying to apologize. “None of the Gundam Pilots
have parents, except Quatre.” said Trowa. “I don’t have any either. Mine died when I was 13.” said Makoto. “It must be
worst when you knew your parents then have then leave you suddenly.” said Trowa. “I guess.” said Makoto, her eyes where
watering. Trowa sat up. “Why don’t you just forget them and stop feeling sorry for yourself?” asked Trowa. “I don’t want to
forget them. If I did, I would never have any emotion.” said Makoto as she wiped her tears on her sleeve. Trowa looked
surprised. “The Senshi have always acted on emotion. When Usagi was ever in trouble, we wouldn’t be able to save her
unless we had strong emotional love for her, which the Senshi all do.” explained Makoto. Trowa just stared. “I hope we can
get you pilots to act the same.” said Makoto. Trowa suddenly grabbed Makoto and kissed her. They both closed their eyes.
They fell onto the bed and started to embrace. Trowa stopped kissing her. “Don’t we have enough emotion already?” asked
Trowa in a whisper. Makoto smiled and nodded as her eyes slowly closed.
Upstairs in Duo’s room… Duo was humming to himself as he sat in front of the vanity table, brushing his chestnut hair before
bed. Suddenly the door flew open. “Hi Duo-chan!” yelled Minako with a grin. “Minako!” said Duo, surprised. “Ah, your
hair’s down! You look so kawaii!” squealed Minako as she ran over to Duo. “You mind leaving my room and I’ll tell you to
come back in when I have my hair re-braided.” said Duo, kind of annoyed. “Oh no, I am not leaving now. You look too
kawaii!” said Minako, grinning. “Yeah, a kawaii girl! Now leave!” ordered Duo as he stood up and pointed to the door. He
towered over Minako. “Ah, I didn’t think your hair was as long as to your thighs!” said Minako with delight. Duo
sweatdroped. “Come on, please leave! I fell embarrassed!” asked Duo. “I don’t think so Duo-chan.” said Minako as she
jumped onto Duo, knocking them both over onto the bed. She then pinned him on the bed. “I have got you pinned, what are
you going to do Duo-chan?” asked Minako with a evil grin. “This.” said Duo as he flipped Minako over and pinned her.
Minako started to giggle. “What’s so funny!?” asked Duo, annoyed. Minako just keep giggling. Duo finally noticed some of
his hair was tickling her neck. “Oh, Duo-chan, your hair is so soft, like silk.” said Minako after she managed to stop
giggling. “Quit trying flatter me!” demanded Duo. “But I am not, I think your hair is pretty. I told you that in the past,
remember. To tell you the truth, I am jealous.” said Minako, smiling. “Huh?” said Duo, he looked surprised. “I mean it.” said
Minako as she managed to get out of the pin, her hands now playing with some of Duo’s hair. Duo started to blush. “You
look so cute when you blush.” said Minako as she placed one of her hands on Duo’s face. “I…I..” stuttered Duo, his eye’s
getting wide. “Your eyes are pretty too, I love that color, blue violet.” said Minako. “Your eyes aren’t half bad either.” said
Duo finally, he managed to smile. Minako grinned back. Duo then suddenly kissed her, catching Minako by surprise. She
broke free of it. “What was that!?” asked Minako. “Paying you back for the one you gave me.” said Duo, giving Minako a
love gaze. Minako blushed. “Want to continue?” asked Duo. “Sure, but I thought you wanted me to leave?” asked Minako.
“Not anymore.” said Duo. Minako smiled as they both kissed again.
Outside Heero’s room… “Heero? Can I come it?” asked Neo Queen Serenity from outside the door. “Hai.” said Heero from
inside. Neo Queen Serenity walked in. “What are you typing?” asked Neo Queen Serenity. “Not this again.” said Heero
under his breath. “Oh, I am sorry, I won’t look.” said Neo Queen Serenity as she faced away from the computer screen.
“You have changed since you were young.” said Heero. “Of course. I am refined and lady like. What else would you expect
from a Queen?” said Neo Queen Serenity in a somewhat snobby tone. “Act like a human.” said Heero, looking at the screen.
“Nani?! I act like a human. It’s you who doesn’t.” said Neo Queen Serenity. “So you haven’t changed as much as I thought.”
said Heero, eyeing Neo Queen Serenity. “Oops.” said Neo Queen Serenity. Heero went back to typing. “I hope you find this
room alright. I knew you might like the wardrobe.” said Neo Queen Serenity. “Really funny Usagi-chan.” said Heero. “Ah!
You called me Usagi-chan! We must be friends then!” said Neo Queen Serenity or Usagi with delight. “Mommy! I am
hungry!” whined a familiar voice in the hall. “Chibi-usa!” said Usagi. “Oh, there you are mommy! Is that Heero?” asked
Chibi-usa as she walked into the room. “Hai.” said Usagi. “He is kawaii.” said Chibi-usa with a grin. “Who are you?”asked
Heero, cocking his eyebrow. “Me, I am Small Lady, Daughter of Neo Queen Serenity and Endymion, but you can call me
Chibi-usa.” said Chibi-usa, extending a hand. “You’re her daughter?” asked Heero, pointing to Usagi. Chibi-usa nodded.
Heero’s eyes got big for a moment. Chibi-usa’s stomach started to growl. “Oh, I almost forgot, I am hungry.” said Chibi-usa.
“Okay Chibi-usa. Let’s get you a snack, see you later Heero.” said Usagi as she grabbed Chibi-usa’s hand and guided her out
of the room. Heero went back to typing.
The next morning in Trowa’s room… “Oh, where am I?” yawned Makoto as she slowly sat up in the bed. “You don’t
remember?” answered Trowa, standing in front of the mirror. “Oh, Trowa, Oh yeah I remember now.” said Makoto as she
got up and walked over to Trowa. “What are you doing?” asked Makoto. “Trying to keep my bangs up.” answered Trowa
with a dull voice. “Why don’t you brush it all back?” asked Makoto. “I thought about that, but Quatre says the bangs in front
fits me, covering my face, making me look mysterious.” said Trowa. “He’s right about that.” said Makoto with a smile.
Trowa smiled back slightly. “What’s on the TV this morning?” asked Makoto as she walked over to the TV. She turned it
on. “On recent news, the colony L2 has been recently attacked by a unknown force….” said the news broadcaster. “Oh,
shit.” said Trowa under his breath. “Is that a bad thing?” asked Makoto, looking at Trowa who was standing next to her.
“We have to leave soon.” said Trowa. “Nani? Why?” asked Makoto, looking sad. “The pilots job is to protect the colonies.”
said Trowa. “You had better tell the other pilots then.” said Makoto, looking down at the floor. “We’ll come back when we
know the colonies are safe.” said Trowa. Makoto nodded. Trowa walked out the door to the hall, Makoto stayed on the
bed, looking at the TV.
In Wufei’s room… Rei was lying on of Wufei, her face next to his chest. Wufei’s arm was over Rei’s back. “Oh… Wufei…?
What time is it?” yawned Rei as she slowly woke up. Wufei was sound asleep. Rei managed to wiggle her way out from
under Wufei’s arm. She then put her knees on the floor and kneeled over Wufei. She played with his hair, looking very
content. He started to stir. “Oh, Nataku… what are you doing?” asked Wufei in his sleep. Rei giggled. “N..nani!? Rei!” said
Wufei as he sat up. Rei grinned. “What were you doing just now?” asked Wufei as he eyed Rei. “Just playing with your
hair.” giggled Rei. “Speaking of, I have to tie it up.” said Wufei as he got off the bed and walked over to the small table
where his shirt and hair tie laid. “Want any help?” asked Rei, coming up behind him. “I can do it by myself.” said Wufei, kind
of annoyed. “You sure are grumpy in the morning.” said Rei. “You’re the one who woke me up.” said Wufei, tying his hair
into its usual tight ponytail. “Well, aren’t you suppose to wake up?” asked Rei, hands on hips. “Yeah, but who ever wakes
me up gets this.” said Wufei as he looked at her from behind, face looking angry. “I guess that whole night didn’t do
anything for your emotions.” muttered Rei to herself. “I heard that.” said Wufei and he put his shirt on. “Why are you so
mean at times?” asked Rei. “Why should I tell you?” answered Wufei, turning around to face her. “Because I am a Sailor
Senshi and it’s my right to help stop you from being unhappy.” said Rei. “Sailor Senshi are weak.” said Wufei as he walked
to the door. “We are not weak! Why won’t you tell me!?” yelled Rei. “You can find out later.” said Wufei as he walked out
the door. Rei stared. “He just dist me!” said Rei aloud. She then stomped out of the room.
In Duo’s room… “What’s that… wonderful smell…?” said Minako in her sleep. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw Duo’s
hair. She was facing Duo, her fingers in twined in his hair, one hand grasping his. A bunch of his hair was right in her face.
“Oh, his hair, smells so nice. So that’s what I was smelling.” said Minako with a smile as she inhaled more of the sweet scent.
“I never thought a man would care this much about his hair. I wonder, could there be something important about it?” asked
Minako to herself and she got a little closer to Duo. Duo was smiling in his sleep. “Kawaii…” said Minako to herself as she
reached over to the side of Duo’s head and ran her fingers through some of the hair on the side of his head. Duo’s smile got
bigger. Minako giggled. Duo’s suddenly looked unhappy. “Sister… Helen… no,… don’t… leave…me…” moaned Duo. “Duo,
are you alright?” asked Minako, shaking him a little. “Huh, wha…” yawned Duo as he slowly woke up. “Duo-chan! You
were suffering from a nightmare.” said Minako. “Thanks for reminding me.” said Duo sadly. “What was in your nightmare?”
asked Minako. “I really don’t want to talk about it.” said Duo, his face glum. “Who’s Sister Helen?” asked Minako. Duo
looked up at her. “How did you know about her…?” asked Duo. “You said the name in your sleep.” said Minako. “She was
the nun who raised me. But she died in a church massacre.” explained Duo looking very sad. “You were raised in a church?”
asked Minako. Duo nodded. “You never had any real parents?” asked Minako. Duo shook his head. “So Sister Helen was
like your mother, in a way.” said Minako. Duo nodded, his eyes looked like they could cry any second. “Gomen nasi.” said
Minako, hugging Duo. “The most horrible thing is she died in my arms.” said Duo as tears started to roll down his cheeks.
“Duo…” said Minako as she held him tighter. “I know how you feel, Duo, of course, a broken heart doesn’t compar to love
ones dying, but when it first happened, I wanted to die.” said Minako. “I guess where similar.” said Duo as he managed to
smile. Minako let go of him and gazed into his eyes. “Do you feel any better?” asked Minako, stroking her hand over Duo’s
hair. “Hai, arigato Minako-chan.” said Duo, smiling. “We had better get up, it is the morning.” said Minako as she jumped
off the bed. “Yeah..” said Duo as he got off the bed and went over to the vanity table. “Hey, Duo? Why do you take such
good care of your hair?” asked Minako. “Memories.” said Duo as he ran the brush through his hair. “Of what?”asked
Minako. “My childhood.” said Duo, he keep brushing. “I just keep mine for the beauty of it.” said Minako. “I am not
surprised.” said Duo as he separated his hair into 3 sections. “Want me to help you with that?” asked Minako. “Uhh… I have
been braiding my hair every morning of my life, I don’t need any help.” said Duo. “Just this once?” asked Minako, puppy dog
face. “Oh fine. But you had better not damage my hair.” said Duo as he handed her the sections. Minako braided his hair fast
yet neatly. “Done!” said Minako. “Nice job, I think I will make my way downstairs for some breakfast, care to join me?”
asked Duo as he stood up. “I would love to.” said Minako with a grin as they headed out the door. “Duo, wait.” said Trowa
as he came walking up to them. “What’s up Trowa?” asked Duo. “There’s been an attack on the L2 colony, we need to get
up there and find out what’s causing the attack.” said Trowa. “Can the Senshi help?” asked Minako. “No Minako, this is a
pilots job.” said Trowa. “Ha, all the Senshi could fly one of those Gundams just as good as any of you could.” bragged
Minako, crossing her arms. “I wouldn’t brag about stuff like that Minako-chan.” warned Duo. “It’s true.” said Minako. Duo
and Trowa sweatdrop.”See you later Minako.” said Duo as he a Trowa walked off down the hall. Minako looked mad but
went on downstairs.
In Quatre’s room… Quatre started to wake. “Ami… are you awake yet?” asked Quatre. Ami was asleep. “I guess she was
tired.” said Quatre to himself as he got up.
A couple minutes later… “Quatre..?” yawned Ami as she woke up. Quatre was playing his violin. Ami got up and walked
over to him. “Good Morning.” greeted Quatre. “Quatre, I want to ask you something.” said Ami. “Ask then.” said Quatre,
still playing his violin. “Did you take advantage of me last night?” asked Ami quietly. Quatre played a sour note for a
moment as he abruptly stopped playing. “No, what makes you think I would do such a thing Ami?” asked Quatre, his face
looked concerned. “I was always told as a child to not let boys do anything to me with out me telling them to do so.” said
Ami. “Ami, I would never do such a thing to you. I am not that kind of a person.” said Quatre. “So it was only the kiss and
embracing and that was all?” asked Ami. Quatre nodded. “That’s a relief.” said Ami with a smile. Quatre smiled back. There
was a sudden knock on the door. “Hai!?” asked Quatre. “Quatre, we need you to come to Heero room immediately.” said
