"You… go to school, right?"

"Yeah…"

"What's it like?" his eyes were large and pleading.

For a moment Mina wasn't sure she'd heard correctly. "Wha- what is school like?"

"Yeah. What's it like to be with other people all day? Other- NORMAL people," he seemed hungry for the knowledge.

"Not as great as you'd think," she said honestly. "You know… this is silly- I'm sure there must be a way for you to enroll at my high school!"

"What?" he stared at her.

"Sure! There must be! The moon's only full three days in the month, right?" Her mind was working faster and faster now. She instinctively knew the patterns of the moon… they had been engraved in her brain for millennia. "Heero, think about it," she said excitedly. "You could enroll. Be a student. Live a normal life- even if only for less than a month. What do you say?"

He was staring at her, wide-eyed. Could she- could she- be serious? His heart was thundering in his chest. Was it really possible? Could he actually do this? "But- but I barely know anything- I'd never fit in-"

"What's the capital of Austria?" she asked, startling him.

He stared at her. "V- Vienna, why what does that-"

"When did man first land on the Moon?"

"N-Nineteen-Sixty-Nine-"

"Who was England's Lord High Protector?"

"O-Oliver Cromwell-"

"What's the square root of 49?"

"7, Mina what does this have to do with anything?" he snapped, ending her barrage of questions.

"You'll do fine," she smiled. "Besides, Ami's a brain- she helps us all study, she could easily help you, too."

Ami… Cool hands, gently bandaging his wounds, blues eyes able to spare him a smile… "I'll do it."

~~~%*%~~~

Silence pervaded the Winner mansion… No, not total silence… there was the rustle of wrappers every so often… and munching noises…

The four vampires sat around the dining room table at last, the first time they had ever done so. They were in ecstasy, taking their time to savor the food. There were no words to possibly describe the awesome sensations coming from their mouths now.

Heero entered the house, instantly going on alert when he heard almost nothing from his comrades. Stealthily, he slipped in, investigating each room as he went. Whoever was in would pa-

"What are you guys doing?" he blinked, finally coming upon them in the dusty dining room.

Four happy faces turned to him, smiling.

"Oookay, I don't want to know."

"Here, Heero, sit," Quatre was polite enough to offer him a chair.

Heero did so warily. "Are you four alright?"

"This food is the BEST thing I have EVER tasted," Duo sighed contentedly.

"They're just cold cuts…" Heero gave them all odd looks.

"No, they are FOOD," Wufei corrected him. "Real FOOD."

Trowa nodded in agreement.

"Right… If any of you bloodsuckers care, I have an announcement," Heero said, wisely standing again.

"You brought us more food!?" Duo cried, hope in his large blue eyes.

"Nope. I, am going to school."

"You're what?"

"You're who?"

"You're why?"

"You're when?"

"School. You know- be normal. And not one of you can do anything about it," Heero grinned, holding up the documents he and Mina had gotten on the way home.

They stared at him. Then dropped their food to chase him upstairs.

~~~%*%~~~

Mina peered in the front door, looking for her mother. She heaved a sigh of relief and carefully stepped inside. Her mother wasn't home.

"Minako!"

Mina cringed. She turned slowly to see a very angry little while cat. "Well, hello to you, too."

"So how'd your date go?"

"It was NOT a date!" Mina said huffily, heading upstairs.

"Yeah, sure. Whatever you say- yeow!" he neatly dodged her handbag by a few inches and leapt up onto her bed. "You don't have to throw things, you know!"

"Well you don't have to go nosing into my love life!" she glared at him, letting her hair down. "Not that this had anything to do with love of course- it was business. Strictly business."

"Yeah right."

"Are you TRYING to be annoying?" she turned to glare at the cat.

He ignored her. "What business? Sailor stuff?"

"No… private business. Nobody else needs to know," she said carefully.

"Which means that everyone should know because you're probably in way over your head- does this have something to do with where you were all last night?"

"We're going to have a new student tomorrow," she said, seemingly changing the subject.

"How would you know-?"

"Ooh, that reminds me! I need to call Ami! He's going to have to start studying with us immediately so he can catch up-" Mina ignored the stunned look on Artemis's face and went to find a phone.

"HE!?!?"

~~~%*%~~~

Raye stumbled into her room and flopped down on her bed. It had been a long, hard, terrifying day… She was certain a good ten years had been knocked off her life. "I am NEVER getting in a car with Chad AGAIN…"

Someone knocked on the doorframe. "Raye?" her grandfather poked his head in. "Some of your friends are here to see you."

Raye groaned. The meeting. She'd totally forgotten about the meeting… "Tell them to come in here."

"Whatever you say…"

"Raye-chan!" Bunny was the first to bound into the room. "Hey, what's up? Nani? Why are you lying on your bed like that?" The others slowly came up behind her, also peering at the prone Raye.

"Chad tried to kill me in his car today…"

"Oh," they chorused.

Mina was the first to take a seat in a chair nearby. "Are you ok, Raye?"

"I'll live… give me ten minutes…"

"How come when I ask for ten minutes nobody listens to ME?" Bunny complained, also taking a seat, following the example of the others.

"Because all you ever DO is ask for ten more minutes to sleep," Lita reminded her gently, smiling when Bunny stuck her tongue out at her.

"A little order, please?" Ami raised an eyebrow. They all turned to look at her, Raye slowly pulling herself around. "We do have something important to discuss."

Mina fiddled with the hem on her sweater. "Well…"

"Mina actually got a date!" Artemis poked his head out of the cat-carrying basket.

"Oh my god! Mina, you did!?" Bunny gasped. "How come you didn't tell US!?"

"Way to go, Mina!" Lita cheered.

"Artemis, you stupid feline, I'll use your pelt as a foot blanket!" Mina raged, reaching for the madly chuckling cat.

"Oi, can everyone PLEASE keep it down?" Raye pleaded. "Not that I'm not happy for you, Mina but I've got a real migraine here…"

"If everyone will just calm down-" Ami began.

"Mi-chan!" Bunny continued to whine. "We're your friends! You're supposed to tell us these things!"

"I did NOT have a date!" Mina yelled, bringing quiet to the room.

"Nope, she had two!" Artemis cackled, not caring that to do so meant putting his life on the line.

"Why you little-!" Mina leapt for him but he ran under Raye's bed.

"TWO!? Mina how long has this been going on!?"

"Mina are you having an affair or something?!"

"Oof! Get that stupid cat out from under my bed!"

"ARTEMIS!"

"Wahahahahahaha!"

"Oi…" Ami sighed and put her head in her hands. Luna padded in, looking at the yelling group of mad teenagers oddly. "Don't worry about it," she told the dark cat. "It's just- *sigh*- another normal meeting…"

~~~%*%~~~

Heero sighed and rolled his eyes, trying to ignore all the loud banging and scuffling at his door. He'd known it would be dangerous to dangle that in front of them…

"Yuy! Let us in!"

"Maybe if we all just calmed down a little, and tried to talk this through…"

"Aw, come on, talking never solved anything, Q…"

"…"

"Maxwell, move your big ass, so I can knock down the door!"

"Iie! I'M going to knock down the door! Me and my kick-ass scythe, see?!"

"Duo! Watch where you point that thing!"

"Allah preserve us…"

"MAXWELL!"

Heero sighed again. His own stupid mistake. He looked at the papers in his hand and smiled though. Tomorrow would be different. Because tomorrow would be NORMAL.

"Winner, would you stop whining and get the damn skeleton key or something!?"

"Aw, now look what you've done, Wu- you got Quatre all upset!"

"Alright this is starting to get out of-"

CRASH.

"-hand… I give up…"

"Hey, Trowa, where're you going?! Look, Wufei, you made Trowa leave, too!"

"Shut up, Maxwell!"

"Bite me!"

"Gladly!"

"We shouldn't be fighting like this- EEP!"

Yup… this was just your typical abnormal day…
