Authors notes: Okay, hopefully I can get to a comp again before school starts next Aug. I lost my job which was where I posted everything, so now I am in the mist of looking for a new job, and trying to get to a comp that has internet access. I would go to the local library, but one it is too far away for me to walk to (don't have my license...) and two I owe them a good amount of money. Oh and not to mention that I have been kicked out of my house...*sigh* needless to say that it has been a pretty bad week. anyways, on with the story.

OH yeah this part takes place at the same time as 5.2 this is also the last part of chapter 3.

Questions and Answers part 5.3

Aurora made her way through the maze of corridors that lead to her dorm room. She figured that even if Heildi wasn't in the room she could at least check her messages and drop off her books. She entered the room, dropped her book bag on her bed, and pushed the play button on the answer machine.

The first message was from a lady asking for Heildi: "Hi, this is Sara from Dr. Nusei's office calling to tell you that you are late for your appointment and I wanted to know if you wanted to reschedule. You can reach me at 555-4321. Have a good day."

Aurora just took down the number and left a note for Heildi then continued to listen to messages. The second one was from Duo reminding Heildi of her doctor appointment and to say that he loved her. Aurora smiled at this, envying her room mate slightly. The last message was from Heildi. "Hey Aurora, I am in town today. I have a doctor appointment, and I was planning on getting some shopping done before I came back. I should be back by like 6 or 6:30. If you need to get a hold of me for what ever reason call my cell phone. The number is 999-8274. Talk to you later. Bye."

Aurora, quickly jotted down the number and called Heildi.

"Heildi here."

"Heildi, this is Aurora."

"Something wrong?"

"Well, no. Not really."

"Well, then why ya call?"

"Just to tell you to come straight to the UC when you get back."

"Okay. Any particular reason why?"

"Well, ya know that whole thing you all witnessed between me and Une. Well that was really the second one today. Trowa witnessed the first one. I promised him I would explain everything to him and everyone else at dinner tonight."

"Ahhh okay. Cool. I will see you then. Talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye."

Aurora hung up the phone and checked the time. Seeing that it was only 4:30, she decided to take a walk and try to clear her head of unnecessary thoughts and try to get everything in order for later on.

She started in the general direction of the UC but ended up heading for the gym. She didn't really care, she had plenty of time to waste, and as long as she got to the UC on time, where she went really didn't matter.

She was about halfway between her dorm and the gym when she came across the most unexpected site. Wufei and Sally making out like there was no tomorrow, and they didn't seem like they where going to stop anytime soon. She was just going to pass by them with out saying a word to them, but of course right at that time they decided to stop for air, and Wufei looked up and say Aurora "sneaking" off.

"Aurora!" he yelled.

Aurora paid no attention to him and continued on down the path at a fairly fast pace. She fought a loosing battle with the creeping blush that was making its way up her face, because of her embarrassment of seeing something so private between people that she hoped would become her friends. Of course right then, Trowa was making his way up towards her, and upon spotting her he raises and eyebrow up at her in question. She just shakes her head and continues to walk past him.

'Oh God, what can I do about that!' she thought to herself.

Rubbing at her temples in a vain attempt to stop her on coming headache, she sights slightly and turns around to return back to her dorm. Only she takes a different route so that she could avoid Wufei and Sally.

When she got back to her room, she saw that she had only wasted a half an hour. Groaning slightly because of her headache she takes some aspirin, before deciding that she should take a shower before dinner. She gathers her stuff and heads to the bathroom that she shared with Heildi and Une and Noin. She stopped short of the bathroom when she heard the shower running and some rather graphic noises. Sighing, she grabs a bag and stuffs all her shower stuff in it and heads towards the gym, figuring that those had to be more clean than hers at that moment.

As she enters the gym, she saw Quatra and Dorothy finishing their match and Duo busily calling people on his cell. She also saw Heero, who had also saw her. He stopped her right before she entered the woments locker room. "Heero, is there a reason why you have stopped me?"

"What's going on?" he asked in a monotone voice.

"Well my shower is...occupied at this moment so I am going to use the gym showers."

"No, between you and Trowa."

"Between me and Trowa?! How did you come to the conclusion that there is something between me and Trowa?" asked a fairly shocked Aurora. 'Is there something between me and Trowa.' she asked her self at that same moment.

"There is something between you two, maybe you don't see it but there is something," Heero said as he moved past Aurora, leaving her standing there with a confused look on her face.

Aurora shook her head and continued her way to the locker room, but right before entering she turned around and took a look at everyone. Quatra and Dorothy where packing their equipment and Duo had gotten off the phone and was looking at Robin with curiosity shinning form his violet eyes. Robin just smiled at him and entered the locker room.

'Finally,' she thought as she felt the spray hit her face. 'This is what I need, a nice long hot shower.'

But it didn't take long before she allowed her mind to wonder to what Heero had said to her. 'Is there something between....No, no way there could be. Is there?'

Aurora continued to think about her and Trowa together, but in her mind it didn't seem possible. 'Why would anyone like you!' her mind was screaming. 'They can's understand you, yet alone like you!'

Finally, Aurora couldn't take it any loner, they yelling at herself had caused her to loose control of her emotions and she started to cry. A steady stream of tears fell down her face, but they remained unseen because of the shower water. She had become so lost in her emotions that she didn't hear anyone enter the shower room yet alone hear the person approach her.

"Aurora?" asked a Dorothy.

Startled, Aurora jumped back slightly, causing her to back up into the faucet. "Ow!"

"You okay?"

"Yeah you just startled me."

"Ahh, I hope you don't mind, but I came in here because I though I heard someone crying."

"Oh, it's okay," replied Aurora, happy that the shower was still on.

"Why are you crying?" asked Dorothy.

"Huh? I wasn't crying," said Aurora as she cut off the water and walked out of the shower stall.

"You can't hide it from me, Aurora, you eyes are puffy and red and your breath is still hitching some."

Sighing slightly, Aurora takes a deep breath, and starts to explain some things to Dorothy.

"I don't exactly have a great self-esteem, and I don't usually have the guts to tell anyone much of anything, so when I am confronted about things I start to act aloof. Well anyways, I was thinking about something Heero said to me and about what I am going to do at dinner and well, some things clicked into place but caused others to fall out. Which, of course, caused me to doubt myself."

Dorothy looked at the girl with a confused look on her face and asked, "What did Heero say to you?"

"Well, he asked what was between me and Trowa," said Aurora as she finished getting dressed and started to brush her waist long, brown hair.

"And?" asked Dorothy as she took the brush from Aurora and started to brush the girls hair.

"Well, I laughed it off and asked him where he came to the conclusion that there was anything between me and Trowa. Which there isn't anything between us."

"Do you want there to be something?"

"I...I don't know. I guess so..."

"It'll be okay, you figure things out soon enough," said Dorothy as she finished French braiding two braids into Aurora's hair.

Aurora, for the first time in a long while, smiled a true smile at Dorothy. "Thanks."

"Don't think anything of it. Anyways, lets go back to your dorm room so that you can drop off your stuff and make our way to the UC. It's about time for dinner."

"Already?" said Aurora as she checked her watch, "Wow, it is."

Aurora then quickly stuffed everything back in to the bag, and made her way out of the locker room with Dorothy and headed off in the direction of her dorm room then they both went to the UC where the met up with almost everyone.
