[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
A week had passed since she told Endymion that she was coming.... Now, it was the day of the Ball, and she felt as if she didn't want to go. She walked downstairs to the basement and saw Heero working on his Gundam. " Eight in the morning and you're already at work. Don't you ever get tired?" she asked, walking up to him. Heero looked at her. She was still her pjs: a pair of black shorts and a loose long sleeve shirt. He also noticed that her hair was up in a bun. " As long as I don't wake anybody, I try to get the job done." she heard. Saturn sipped her tea and sat beside him. Heero noticed that she was awfully quiet that morning. Usually, they would talk about the repair job of her father's project, but today, she was silent. He looked down at the wires and asked, "Having second thoughts?"
Saturn looked at him with her gray eyes. She looked down in her cup and held it with both hands. " I just feel that maybe they's be better off without me..." she whispered. Heero stood up and wipped his hands. " Think of it this way, if they didn't want you there, they would say something." he told her. He sat next to her and grabbed her cup. She looked at him as he sipped from the cup. " Beside, I wouldn't mind seeing the Palace." he said. Saturn swung her legs a lil and sighed. How could she tell the others who he was? Oh, he's my long lost brother! "Oh, yeah, they'll believe that." she thought, sarcastically. She jumped down and looked up at him. " My father is going to finish the Zero System in the new Gundam.... He told me to go look for a dress. If you don't have a tux, you should stop and go rent one.." she said.
Heero watched her walk out the door. He could tell that there was something on her mind. She had only been there like half of the month and he could read her like a book. He shook his head and looked up at Gundam Wing Zero. " There's nothing I could do.... she's different from any other girl... there are some things that I don't know about her.... like her job.... but it's best if she kept it to herself." he thought. He went back to work, thinking what type of dress she would get.

Endymion walked through the Palace and saw Lita talking to Ami. "Have you heard from Saturn?" he asked in a calm voice. Lita looked up at him and began to think. "Oh, yeah! She said that she was coming and that she was bringing a friend." Lita said.
"A friend?" Ami and Endymion said a unision. Endymion knew that she went to Eden's Garden to see her father, but meeting someone? It was true, she did change over the yrs. She had grew in to this beautiful young woman with a deadly pass.... but actually bringing someone with her? He wondered if this was her father... or someone else all together.....
"King Endymion...."
Endymion turned around and saw Luna. He walked over to her and asked, "So, what did the doctor say?" Luna looked down and replied, " It's that time of the birthing stage. She's just getting down to the finally seconds, but there was a slight change." He raised an eyebrow. "A-a slight change?" Luna looked up with a smile and placed her hands on her tummy. " You're going to be a father to twins." she said. Endymion's eyes widen as he took in the news. "Tw-Tw- twins?" he thought. Before Luna could say anything else, she heard a loud thump and looked at the floor. " King Endymion!" she said. Lita and Ami ran over to them.
Setsuna walked out to the courtyard and saw Haruka and Michiru. " So, Saturn's bringing a friend?" Haruka said. She looked up at the sky as the wind blew calmly. " King Endymion fainted once he got the news he was going to be the father of twins." Setsuna said. Haruka looked at her. "Twins?!!!!" Haruka hit her head with her hand. " This is not happening. Let's hope the other one is a boy. It's bad enough we have to lead the new future queen." Haruka stated. Michiru looked up at the clouds. "Oh, it won't be that bad, Haruka.... it'll be like raising Hotaru again." she said in a low voice. The three became silent as the wind blew a second time. Saturn had grew up right in the front of their eyes and yet they felt as if she grew up too quick. Haruka turned to go back in. " Well we better get ready for tonight." she said.
"Come on, Hotaru!" Heero yelled up the stairs. He really didn't like being in a tux. He just didn't feel like himself in one. " I-I-I changed my mind!" she called from the hall. Heero's eye twitched as he took in a deep breath. "GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!!!! YOU JUST CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND IN THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT!!!!!" he yelled.
Souichi, who was downstairs in the basement, shook his head. He knew that something was going between them, but he also knew that they were blind to see it. " Those two were made for each other." he thought, going back to work.
Saturn stood there at the top step and sighed. " I might as well." she thought walking down the stairs. She could see Heero in his tux and she slightly smiled. " He looks cute like that." she thought.
"Hotaru! If you-" Heero paused as he saw her at the bottom step. She was wearing no strap crimson silk dress with a black chocker and gloves. (the ones that come up passed your elbow) She looked down and asked, in a quiet voice, "So, what do you think?" Heero only stared, trying to find the words to say. Maybe there was a reason why they met.... Saturn looked at him and said, "If it helps, you look cute in the tux." Heero slightly blushed and replied, looking down, " You look cute as well...." Saturn slightly smiled and hooked her arm with his. "Well, we better get going." she said. Heero nodded in agreement.
Endymion walked down the hall to the Ballroom. Serenity was in bed, resting from the day. He knew that she wanted to go, but he told her that it was best if she just rested tonight. He turned the corner and entered the Ballroom. He could see all the people that had come .... but there was no sign of Saturn. He took in a deep breath and went towards Setsuna and Luna.
Saturn looked around at all the people. " I didn't think it would be that many people." she told Heero. Heero looked around as well, noticing Duo and Trowa. " How about we talk to some people and meet up by the door. That way we can get the flow of things." he stated. Saturn nodded and walked passed some people. She saw Endymion, Setsuna and Luna by the refreshments. Heading over there, someone grabbed her arm. She turned around and smiled. "Milyardo!!!" she said, hugging him. He smiled faintly and hugged her in returned. You see, Milyardo had took her in (when she was 15yrs old) and trained her.... basically, he was like her adopted older brother. " What are you doing here?" she asked. Milyardo looked around and pulled her to the side. " I wanted to talk to King Endymion, but I haven't seen him all night." she heard. She raised an eyebrow and asked, " Why won't you tell me?"
Heero glared at Duo. "What, I'm just saying. We haven't seen you in a week, so you must be spending time with your girlfriend." he said, shrugging. "SHE NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!!!!" Heero snapped. Trowa looked around. " Listen, I have to go. Catherine and I are suppose to be going out to dinner and I have no clue where she is." he said. Heero said nothing as Duo waved bye. " I'm going to the bathroom." Heero stated in a low voice and walked off. He didn't have time for this mess.
In the distance, he saw Milyardo talking to Saturn. He didn't think nothing of it... just some friendly conversation that would end up with a friendly ending. He headed off to the hall, hoping to find the bathroom.
Saturn sat there in silence. " Just how long is it going to take?" she asked. Milyardo looked out at the crowd. " Maybe a month.... The Romefeller Foundation System comfired it. My guess is that they will attack, hoping to bring down Crystal Tokyo. You have to tell King Endymion." he said. Saturn nodded and looked around. It was back to work.... but how was she going to tell her father and Heero? She left Milyardo's side and went towards Endymion.
Endymion smiled once he saw Saturn. "So, you made it." he said, giving her a smile. " Endymion, we have a problem. Setsuna, get Haruka to call a meeting with the others." she said. Setsuna raised an eyebrow and wondered what was going on. Setsuna left Luna, Saturn and Endymion alone. " Saturn, what's going on?" Luna asked. Saturn looked at the woman and replied, " You will find out soon enough. Right now, you have to get Artemis and Queen Serenity." she said. The two watched as Luna left and Endymion turned to her. " What is going on?" he asked. Saturn pulled him off to the side and whispered, " Milyardo just told me that Crystal Tokyo was going to be under attack in a month. Apparently, Diamond is back and he has an army. We have to get a plan going before something bad happens." Endymion looked around at the people who were there. " Did he say what kind of army?" he asked, still trying to take everything in. Saturn looked around as well and replied, " Moible Suits."
Serenity walked down the hall, happy that she got a donut. " I thought I was going to die." she thought, nibbling on it. She turned the corner and stopped as she came face to face with her past.
Heero looked at her with his cold blue eyes, not a word leaving his mouth. He wanted to curse her out, but now wasn't the time. He could see that she was expecting, considering the fact that she was as big as a house. " What are you doing here?" she asked in a low voice. Heero placed his hands in his pockets and replied, " Hotaru brought me along. I didn't want to go, but she needed someone to take her." Serenity wondered where had gone... now he was there, right in the front of her.
"Queen Serenity!"
They both looked turned around and saw Saturn, racing towards them. " There's been a meeting called by King Endymion. They need you there." she said. Saturn then looked at Heero who seemed to be confused with everything. Serenity passed Heero and met Luna and Artemis around the corner. Saturn looked down and replied, " I bet I have a lot of explaining to do, huh?" Heero lifted her head and looked into her eyes. "Apparently, you are needed now. I'll head home and you can tell me later." he said. Saturn nodded and headed to the Conference Room.
Saturn walked in and saw everyone at the table. " I can't believe this is happening... after almost a full two yrs." Mina said. Saturn sat down. " Well, believe it, Venus. Time isn't on our side this time. If we knew about this earlier, then, well, this all could have been avoided. But, the way I see..." Saturn looked up at everyone. " We're at War." she finished. Endymion stood up and walked to the window. " So, how far are they?" he asked. " About two thousand light yrs away from Pluto. They will Time Warp in order to get to Earth in two months." Saturn said in a low voice. "Then what are we going to do?" Queen Serenity asked. " The only thing the Scouts can do at the moment. Train." Rei said, standing up. Endymion looked at Saturn, who was looking down. "Alright then, the Training Sessions will begin in two wks. Until then, you are free to do as you please." Endymion said.
Everyone stood up, but Ami questioned, " What about the Queen?" Everyone looked at Serenity and Lita looked at Saturn. " Maybe the King and Queen can stay with Saturn's Human father?" Lita asked, looking at the Royal couple. Saturn looked at Jupiter then at the King. " I can only see." Saturn replied to the sudden offer. Endymion nodded and everyone left the two alone( Luna and Artemis helped Serenity to her room)
Saturn looked down at her hands and said nothing. Endymion sat beside her and sighed. " It's not easy keeping a secret when it's out in the open, is it?" she heard. She looked up at him and sighed. " I mean, what can I do? He probably will hate me after this...." she whispered. Endymion looked out the window and replied, " Ahh, love is a powerful thing." Saturn looked at him, her cheeks flushed. He looked at her with a small smile. " It's written all over your face, Firefly. You might as well tell him the truth.... he deserves it." he said. He got up and walked to the door. " If you feel that you can't, at least tell him who you really are." he said. Saturn heard the door close. She had to tell him.... she just had to.... there was no other way....
