Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ The Search for Happiness ❯ School Dance ( Chapter 11 )

SONG "I COULD FALL IN LOVE" IS BY SELENA....

It was the night of the dance. I still wasn't going, and I've been trying to avoid Trowa for the last couple of days so that he wouldn't ask me again to go with him. So far, it has worked. I hate the way I'm feel like I'm hurting his feelings, but this is what I have to do. That night, I was in my dorm looking out my window. I could see the courtyard, and people were already beginning to dance and talk. The teachers and professors were setting up refreshments and music. It did look like it would be a great party.

"I'm not involved," I said as I turned away.

I went over to my laptop, deciding to look up some information. I heard Zechs talking to Treize when Trowa and I were in battle. Dr. J had told me things about Treize, but I never knew what he looked like so I tried to find a picture. When I found it, I was in complete disbelief.

"I don't believe this!" I exclaimed.

When the picture appeared, it was Mr. K.! What would he be doing here? It hit me like a ton of bricks at how obvious the answer to that question was. Treize had to have undercover trying to find out who were the ones chosen to fight OZ in this school. What if he already knows? If that is the case, we are in trouble!

"Come in!" I called.

"Hey Rei."

"Oh, hi Minako. Love your dress."

"Thank you." She had a yellow ball gown that looked perfect on her, something straight out of those classic ballroom movies. She wore white gloves on, white shoes, and a yellow flower in her hair.

"Rei? How come you're not ready to go?"

"I told you. I'm not going."

"You have to! It'll be fun!"

"I have too many things to do."

"Like what?"

"Concentrating on the enemy. I've discovered something."

"What is it?"

"Treize is at the school."

"What? That's impossible!"

" That's what I thought, but when I looked up info on the guy, this picture came up."

"It's Mr. K.!" exclaimed Minako. "Has he been sent as a spy or something?"

"Apparently so. He might have already figured out that we go to school here."

"Come on! We got to tell the others."

"You go," I said. "I'm not going."

"Rei! The party will be fun. Even Heero is down there."

"Really?"

"Well, yes, after Usagi told him that if he didn't go she would do something to his spandex so he went without a second thought."

I laughed. "That figures."

"Come on Rei. Come to the party. I'll help you get ready."

"Well, OK."

Minako went to my closet, and got out the package where the dress was in.

"You still haven't even looked at it?" she asked.

"I told you, I wasn't planning on going."

When we opened it, I had to admit that the gown was breathtaking. It was a red gown, with the collar hanging off my shoulders. There were also red shoes and a red rose for my hair, along with white gloves to the elbows. I went to my jewelry box and put on ruby earrings and a ruby necklace. I also put on the bracelet that Miliardo gave me.

"You look great!" said Minako.

"Thanks." I looked at myself in the mirror. I had never worn such a beautiful dress in my life!

"I'm sure that Trowa will like your dress as well."

"Did Duo ask you to the dance?" I asked trying not to go into that subject.

"Yeah," she said as she sighed. "He's a real nice guy. Even if he is a bit nuts."

"Let me guess, Quatre asked Makoto, right?"

"Yup. The others went because they wanted to."

"I don't believe that. They're just trying to be tough." I said.

Minako giggled. "Well, we should go tell the others about what you found out, right Rei?"

"Yeah, let's go."

We went out the door, and as we were about to leave I heard someone call out to me.

"Rei-san!"

"Miliardo, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Don't you remember? I told you I would come pick you up."

"Oh, I forgot." I looked at him over, looking quite handsome in his white tux.

"Shall we go?" he asked as he held out his arm.

"I guess so," I said as I took it. Minako walked beside me and gave me a funny look. `I know what you're thinking,' I thought at her.

`Are you reading my thoughts?' she thought.

`I guess so. You're thinking that I'm ditching Trowa, right?'

`In a way.'

`I told you already. I'm not having a boyfriend. Miliardo and Trowa are just some friends of mine okay?'

`Sure. Whatever you say.'

"You're quiet this evening," said Miliardo.

"Oh, I'm sorry," I said. "My mind is wondering again."

"Funny. It seems that your mind does that allot. Especially when you're with me."

"I apologize, Miliardo. I don't mean to be rude."

"That's fine. I do that as well sometimes."

"When?"

"During class."

Minako and I laughed.

"Tell me about it," said Minako, "I do that so much! Class is way to boring for me, so I think about putting my efforts into protecting the-" I nudged her arm to make her stop so she won't say `colonies.'

"Protecting what?" asked Miliardo.

"The...umm..environment," she said absentmindedly.

"Oh? You would like to become an environmentalist?"

"Uh, I've been considering it. It's just not fair the way the Earth is being so polluted nowadays, especially with the war going on and-" she kept going on and on and on and was driving me nuts!

"Minako," I said warningly, trying to get her off the subject of the war and the colonies. "I think we both support your effort."

We finally got to the courtyard.

"Wait here," said Miliardo, "I'll get the three of us some drinks."

"Nice going, Minako," I said.

"I'm sorry!"

"You almost told him our mission! You got sidetracked by his looks!"

"Don't you?" she asked defensively.

"I won't even go into that!" I snapped, trying to hide the blush that was slowly creeping on my cheeks. "The point is you've got to keep your mouth shut about this!"

Miliardo then came back with the drinks and we both smiled in greeting as if nothing had occured.

"Here you are," he said.

"Thank you," Minako and I said.

I noticed that Treize wasn't here, and thought he was probably waiting somewhere to attack or something. I noticed that the pilots weren't here also. I thought Minako said they were!

`Minako,' I thought at her.

`What?'

`Where are the pilots? I thought you said they were here.'

`Uh. Well, uh.'

`You tricked me? You're going to get it, but not now since we're in public. Dammit I'll get you if it's the last thing I do Minako!'

She gave me a frightened look. She should be scared! No one, and I mean no one, tricks me! We finished our drinks.

"May I have this dance?" Miliardo asked.

"Sure," I said. I took his hand, and once again he led me in a series of spins and twirls. It felt different, more exciting, with a ball gown on, the way my dress swayed with ease.

"I see you are wearing the bracelet I gave you," he said.

"Yes. I love it very much."

"Rei-san-"

"Miliardo, please. I trust you now. I consider you as a friend. So call me Rei." He smiled down at me.

"I'm glad you trust me now. Rei, I wanted to tell you something. Remember when I told you that I sensed something about you?"

"You've figured it out?" I asked nervously.

"In a way. All I know is that you are not like other girls. You seem to be very mysterious."

I wondered if he was talking about me being a scout. That was the secret about me. I don't think he would know it, though.

"I don't know what's so mysterious about me. You seem to know me well."

"True, but there's still something about you I can't put my finger on. I think I know, though." I took in a deep breath and wondered if he knew my secret. "You-" but he was cut off, for someone came up to us and whispered something to Miliardo. "Please excuse me, Rei. I have to leave."

"But why?" I asked.

"The personal matters I told you about few days before."

"Oh, I see. Will you be coming back?"

"No. I will, though, be seeing you later." He kissed my hand respectfully before he turned and left. I was left standing at the dance floor with a puzzled look on my face. What could be wrong? What did he mean that he would see me later? Most of all, what was he going to tell me? I went over to where the other girls were standing.

"Hi Rei," said Usagi. "Wow! Your dress is great!"

Usagi was wearing a white ball gown, white shoes, white flower in her hair, and gold jewelry. Makoto was wearing a green gown, green shoes, white gloves, and a pink flower in her hair. Ami was wearing a blue gown, blue shoes, gloves, white flower for her hair, and silver jewelry. It all looked quite predictable, now that I look at all the other girls that were at the dance. This school is so cheep and has so much lack for imagination that they made all the dresses look the same, with the exception for the variety of colors.

"I love your dresses," I said to them. "Minako, did you tell them?"

"Tell us what?" asked Makoto.

"I guess not," I said. Quickly, and quietly, I told the girls of my discovery of Mr. K.

"What?" asked Ami. "Treize has been here the whole time?"

"Yes, and I'm a bit worried about Miliardo," I said.

"Why is that?" asked Minako.

"He's been away for a while. He wasn't here for dancing class once, and usually he's always there just to dance with me. He left a while ago saying he had some personal matters to attend to. But what struck me as odd was that he said that he wouldn't be coming back, but he would see me later. I'm going to be here all night, so I don't know what he's talking about!"

"He's so dreamy, though," sighed Usagi.

"Hey, what happened to Heero?" said Makoto. "Are you going to dump him?"

"Absolutely not!" she exclaimed. "I...oh no. Hide me!" She ran around us and hid behind me.

"What's with her?" Minako asked.

"Hello there." Before us stood a handsome young man with jet black hair and sparkling blue eyes wearing a black tux.

"Hi," I said.

"I'm looking for someone. I saw her talking to you so I came over, but now I see that she's left. Do you know where she is?"

"Just who are you anyway?" asked Makoto defensively.

"Cool it! I'm only looking for meatball head!"

"Oh!" I exclaimed. "You must be Mamoru!"

"Yes I am."

"Usagi has told me so much about you! She's right here," I said as I dragged her from behind me.

"Rei!" she screamed.

"Hey there, meatball head! Long time no see," said Mamoru.

"Yeah, I'd like to keep it that way," she snapped.

"Cool your jets, I only wanted to say hi."

"Well, you did, so can you go now?"

"All right, fine. I'll talk to you later, meatball head," he said as he left.

"My name is Usagi! Do I have to say it in a different language or something to get it through your thick skull?!! Thanks a lot Rei."

"Your welcome," I said with a smile. "You know, though, he's kinda cute."

"What about Trowa?" she asked slyly.

"Shut up Usagi!"

Then, the pilots finally came. Duo was wearing a dark purple tux, Quatre was wearing a light blue tux, Heero was wearing a black tux, Wufei was wearing a tux, and Trowa was wearing a dark green tux.

"Hey girls!" said Duo. "Looking good!"

"Oh, stop it Duo," said Minako blushing.

"That's a nice dress, Rei," said Quatre.

"Thank you Quatre," I said. "You don't look bad yourself."

"Rei has just made a startling discovery," said Ami.

"Well, what is it?" asked Wufei.

"You know Mr. K.?"

"Yeah, he's not here for some reason," said Duo glancing the crowds.

"That's because he's not our dance teacher!" said Minako.

"What? Then who is he?" asked Quatre.

"Treize Khushrenada," I said. I told them about what I found on my computer, and about Miliardo. When I mentioned that I was worried about him, Trowa looked a bit hurt.

"There's nothing much we can do now," said Quratre. "For now, let's just enjoy the party."

"Great idea!" said Makoto. "Let's dance!" She pulled Quatre to the dance floor. The girls and I laughed a bit.

"Trowa," I said, "you've been so quiet. Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Usagi then pulled me aside and said, "I think you might have hurt his feelings when you were talking about Miliardo."

"Yeah, I think you're right. Miliardo is a nice guy, but Trowa is...I don't know what to do. I must sound real dumb huh?"

"No! You just need to follow your heart. It'll tell you what to do."

"I wish I could. I just don't know what it is telling me at the moment."

"Giving love advice, meatball head?"

"Mamoru!" Usagi shouted. "Go away!"

"Relax! I only wanted to ask your friend to dance is all."

"Usagi, may I speak to you a moment?" I asked pulling her aside.

"What is it Rei?"

"I don't know what to do! I'm afraid I might hurt Trowa's feelings again!"

"It's just a dance, don't worry about it. One dance won't hurt."

"I guess you're right." I went over to Mamoru and accepted a dance. I looked for Trowa, who was at the refreshment stand. I then looked over to Usagi, trying to convince Heero to dance. Eventually, he goes.

"That girl is weird, isn't she?" Mamrou asked.

"Yeah, but she's a great friend." We glanced at Heero and Usagi.

"This is a great dance floor, isn't it Heero?" Usagi asked.

"Yeah," he said, "why don't you dance on it instead of my foot."

Mamoru and I laughed. Soon the dance was over.

"One more?" he asked.

"No thanks. I've got to go to someone else."

"You mean him?" he said jerking his head in Trowa's direction.

"Yes." I made my way over to him. "Hi there. Why so sad? Something wrong?"

"In a way. I wanted to dance with someone, but she's too busy."

"Oh, well, can I substitute for her?"

"You don't have to. You're the girl I'm talking about." He then led me to the dance floor. For some strange and odd reason, I was hardly able to look at him. I was actually feeling a bit shy. It's the first time I've felt that way, and it scarred me.

"That dress looks great on you, Rei." Trowa said.

"Thank you Trowa. Your tux is great too. It matches your resilliant eyes." I realized what I just said and looked down in embarrassment.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, Rei. I know you try to hide your feelings from me."

"What?" I asked a little shocked.

"It's okay. I can tell you don't want to talk about it now, but just do me a favor. Stop avoiding and keeping things from me."

I looked at him with my mouth hanging a little open. He knew all this time? I didn't know what to do at the moment but look at him with confusion and shock. The dance ended, but Trowa showed no signs of stopping until Duo came.

"Mind if I cut in?" he asked.

"Not at all," said Trowa.

So Duo and I danced a while. I got to dance with all the pilots, even some others guys. It took up so much of my time, I wondered if I would ever get back to talk with Trowa. When I finally got away from guys asking me to dance, I went over to him. He was talking to the other pilots and the girls.

"So, you finally made it over here, Rei," said Minako.

"It's not my fault," I said sheepishly.

"She's right," said Makoto. "She must have dance with 11 guys tonight!"

"Very funny, Makoto."

"Well, we better get going," said Quatre.

"Yeah," Trowa said, "we're almost up."

"Up where?" Usagi asked.

"You'll see," Quatre said.

Quatre and Trowa headed up towards the stage.

"What are they doing?" I asked.

"They've got a part in the entertainment," said Heero.

"Like what?"

"They're going to play music," answered Duo.

The orchestra stopped and was getting ready to play the song that Quatre and Trowa were going to play. Trowa took a flute and Quatre took a violin. When they started playing, everyone started dancing. Even my friends danced, except for Makoto and I. We were watching the guys on stage.

"Isn't Quatre great?" said Makoto. "Rei? Earth to Rei! Come in Rei! Rei! Do you read me?"

I didn't answer. I completely ignored her and let the music flow in my ears. I watched Trowa on the flute and remembered the music that we made together when we were younger. I closed my eyes and could see it happening. The soft harmony we played along with our mixed smiles warmed my heart.

"Rei!" said Makoto as she slapped my arm.

"What?" I asked. "What is it?"

"Rei, you've been daydreaming or something. What's wrong huh?"

"Nothing," I said as I looked back at the stage.

"You were thinking of Trowa, weren't you?" she asked smugly.

"What? No! I-"

"Stop pretending! We all know you like him."

I huffed and clenched my jaw tight, my mouth set in a firm line. For some reason I just refused to answer her and give my cheeks a reason to start flushing.

"Come on Rei," she said, "don't be mad. It's no use trying to hide it anymore."

"It's not that Makoto," I said defensively. "I'm just...I don't know what to do."

"For one thing, tell Trowa how you feel."

"I think he already knows that."

"But he wants you to tell him."

"I couldn't."

"Why not?" she asked.

"I'm scared," I admitted softly.

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Trowa and Quatre finished their song, and everyone applauded.

"That was terrific, Quatre!" Makoto exclaimed.

"Thank you," he said.

"So what'd you think, Rei?" Trowa asked.

"You were great! Just like you always were, and still are." I realized, again, what that sounded like and shut my mouth. Trowa and Quatre gave me a smile.

Then, Ms. L. came on the stage and announced a that a volunteer could come up on stage and play or sing something. No one wanted to do it.

"Rei," said Trowa, "you should sing something. You've got a great voice."

"I don't know," I said.

Makoto whispered to me, "Hey, this is your chance to tell Trowa how you feel! Tell him in a song! No one will know that you're directing the song to him. Except for us, of course," she said with a wink.

"Sure," I said. "I guess so."

"Well go on up!" said Quatre.

I made my way up on the stage. Everyone was silent, amazed that I'd be the one to go up and volunteer. I went to the orchestra, and after instructing them what to play, I nervously made my way to the microphone.

" 'I could loose my heart tonight

If you don't turn and walk away.

Cuz the way I feel I might

Loose control and let you stay.

Cuz I could take you in my arms

And never let go.

I could fall in love

With you

I could fall in love

With you.' "

My heart was pounding rapidly in my chest, it was a wonder to me how my voice even escaped my throat! I had to calm and reassure myself like Makoto said, no one knows who this song is for. But it still didn't help the fact that I felt weak in the knees since there are others who do know that this is a tribute to someone. Someone who at that moment was starring at me with the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen.

" 'I could only wonder how

Touching you would make me feel.

But if I take that chance right now

Tomorrow would you want me still.

So I should keep this to myself

And never let you know..

I could fall in love

With you

I could fall in love

With you.' "

I felt my confidence return to me, my voice much stronger and by the looks of the faces in the audience, captivating. I looked Trowa directly in the eye, something that I never thought would be so hard to do. His features were marked with understanding, he knew. He knew. But mixed in with those features was something that I wasn't expecting to see....dissapointment.

" 'And I know it's not right

And I guess I should try

To do what I should do

But I could fall in love

Fall in love with you.

I could fall in love

With you...

...So I should keep this to myself

And never let you know.

I could fall in love

With you.

I could fall in love

With you.' "

Why did he look that way at me? Why did he look dissapointed when I'm practically spilling out my heart to him in front of hundreds of people? Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he didn't have any feelings for me other than just being friends. But it was too late now. I had already bared my soul for him and there was no turning back.

" 'I could fall in love!

I could fall in love..

..with you..

I could fall..fall in love

with you..

I could fall in love

With you...' "

I rejoined my friends feeling confused about everything again, but the feeling left me once I saw their smiling faces.

"That was great Rei!" exclaimed Usagi.

"You could be a professional," said Ami.

"Thanks you guys," I said with a slight blush.

"You want to dance again?" asked Trowa.

"Why not?" I said.

Once we had started dancing, he said seriously. "Rei, I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Really? What is it?"

"I hope that no matter what, I'll always be your friend."

"Trowa, I don't understand." He had such a sad expression on his face and I began to feel confused, because it was the same look of dissapointment I had seen on his face earlier. "What is wrong?"

"Rei, I hope that you're happy with your choice. If for some reason, things don't work out, I'll be here for you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Why do you have to make it so difficult for me to say this? What more could you possibly want from me!"

He walked away, clearly being annoyed at how helpless everything felt. I knew because I was feeling the exact same way. I followed him to see what exectly was going on, and saw him sitting by the fountain. It wasn't far from the party so I could still see people dancing and the music could still be heard.

I sat next to him and asked, "Trowa, what is wrong? I have no idea what you are talking about."

"I know what you meant by your song. It's clear to me now."

"Well...I.. I'm glad you do."

"I hope Milliardo takes care of you."

"WHAT?! What the hell are you talking about?"

"Aren't you with him? Wasn't that song for him?"

"No! What gave you that idea?"

"I thought because he gave you that bracelet. And you've been avoiding me so much, and lately when I see you, you're always talking to him. So the only conclusion that I can come up with is that you're with him."

I quirked my brow at him. "So? So what if I did like him? Why would you care so much? Right now the conclusion that I can come up with is that you're jealous."

"Jealous?"

"Of course! Why else would you be trying so hard to divert my attention away from Milliardo! I thought you could at the very least trust me on whom I decide to make friends with!"

"Are you saying I'm possessive?!" he said, anger hinting in both of our tones.

"Maybe I am! And maybe I'm also saying that you should trust me once in a while so as not to follow my every move like some kind of stalker!"

"I'm only looking out for you! That's what friends do!"

"Well stop fussing over me!" I exclaimed. "I'm not that helpless little girl that you once knew in the orphanage, that needed protecting all the time!"

"Are you listening to yourself Rei?! Dammit why can't you for once not barricade yourself in and let others help you! You were always like that! At times willing to let certain people close to you, but you never let them get close enough and you keep them always at an arm's distance! I worry about you!"

"The hell with worrying about me!"

He grabbed my shoulders firmly, forcing me to look at him. His eyes clearly showed that he was angry, his mouth set in a firm line. But his next words came out gentle, and yet firm.

"That's the thing Rei. I do worry about you. I always have and I always will. You know that, I've said it many times. You want to know why I always watched you and Milliardo? Because I wanted to make sure that he would treat you well. You're my best friend and I want to make sure that you have the best."

Best friend? Only a ... friend.. Trowa?

He looked down and seemed to struggle with his next words. "There was another reason why...you were right...I was jealous."

"W-what?"

"I guess it was because you now spent all your time with him and the only time I get to see you in in class or on a mission and even then few words were spoken between us. What really hit home was when I found out from Minako that he brought you here to the dance. You knew I wanted to take you Rei! Why did you let him take you instead of me? If you didn't like him...then why?"

It was my turn to be speechless and struggle for words. "Oh Trowa I didn't mean to...it's so hard to explain. I wasn't planning on going to the dance in the first place Trowa, I had refused Milliardo's invitation as well! But then Minako came over and I told her about Trieze and she convinced me to go and then he just showed up and since I was heading down that way anyway...I didn't mean, I mean I didn't know that it would...!"

The truth had to come out now. There was no way that I could escape it again, I'd just be putting up another wall just as Trowa had said, and I didn't want him to drive him away farther than I already had! But he had referred to me only as his best friend? I would be crossing the line if I admitted to him that I had feelings for him...even...falling in love with him.

"Trowa I...I'm sorry I've been avoiding you so much, believe me I didn't mean to! It's just that, I've felt something for a while now and I needed to figure things out before I could fully accept what it was that I felt. I know that we've been best friends for a long time..but for a while I've been questioning that bond."

"Questioning? What do you mean?"

"I..I've been questioning whether or not...what we have...could be...more.."

"Rei, I...don't quite fully understand."

"The song was for you!!" I blurted. "All right?! Everything in that song it was for you Trowa! Not for Milliardo, not for anyone else, but you!" I bolted up and started pacing around nervously as I continued to blurt out everything. "I'm sorry! I've felt this way for quite a while now, and I've been questioning it ever since! We've become the best of friends and I didn't want it to change! I didn't want it to change if you didn't return the same feelings for me and then I'd loose our friendship. I didn't want it to change if you did have the same feelings for me and then it would prove a distraction and, what if something happened in battle then I would never forgive myself because I was emotionally involved! Don't you see Trowa?" I asked finally stopping my pacing and looking at him directly in the eye. "I was afraid just like you said. I was afraid to love you so I just put up more walls and blinding myself! But it's true, Trowa it's true! I've fallen in love with you!" My voice chocked as tears fell down my cheeks. "I love you!"

I stood there crying in front of him, my mask fallen and my walls crumbled. I stood there with my bared soul crying for him while he just sat there with a bewildered expression, as if he weren't fully processing the information well that he had just received. I became shamefull of what I had just done and prepared to baracade myself up again, but before I could he leaped off his seat and I found myself being embraced in a crushing hug. I burried my face in his jacket, the tears continuing to flow.

"Well?" I asked, finally controling my tears. "Aren't you going to say something?"

I heard him take a deep breath and exhale slowly, his hand carressing the back of my head while the other ran his fingers through my hair. It felt soothing and I leaned against him contentedly and relaxed in his warm embrace.

"I love you," he said in a whisper.

I pulled away enough to look up in his eyes and I smiled at him and received a breathtaking smile in return. Removing the rose that was in my hair, I placed it in his front pocket. He took one hand and placed in on mine on his chest and felt his warm breath tickling my skin. His lips delicately brushed my own and we were wrapped up in the purest, most chaste and wonderful kisses ever imaginable. Despite the chilly air, the kiss left tingles of warmth up and down my spine. Once we separated, we smiled at eachother once more.

"Oh how sweet!!!!" the girls exclaimed. Them and the pilots were behind us.

"How hard was that?" asked Makoto.

"It's about time you two!" said Duo as he put his arm around Trowa and my shoulders.

"Cut it out Duo," said Trowa.

"Oh I'm so happy!" Usagi cried.

"Stop bawling Usagi," I said.

We all started talking excitedly laughter and happiness surrounding us. But it didn't last for long for that sudden warmth was then replaced by a chill. That chill struck me hard, and I must have had a blank look on my face for it was questioned.

"Rei? What's the matter?" asked Quatre.

"Something's coming," I said nervously. I looked up at the sky and saw 30 planes. "Look!" I exclaimed pointing.

"What are they?" asked Minako.

"Those are OZ carriers!" Duo declared.

"I'd say that judging by their speed and size, there are about three mobile suits in each carrier," said Heero.

Then the carriers dispatched Aries and Leo mobile suits.

"Are they out of their damn minds attacking the school like this?! They must have found where we were hiding!" said Wufei.

"What do we do?" asked Ami.

"You girls transform while we get our Gundams."

"Right," we said.

"Careful Rei," Trowa said.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine," I said with a wink.

We then split up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The truth has finally been revealed and the pair has finally come out and bared their souls to eachother. Will this finally be happily ever after?
