((( ))) : Me going in and interrupting the story just for fun or
whatever.
********* or ~.~.~ : These two are for change of sequance.
( ): thoughts in the person's head.

I think that's about it, if there's more you'll catch on to it quickly
enough.
This is mostly the Gundam World and no, Serena isn't Sailor Moon. She's
a normal human being.

**************
Serena went off to take a jog around the city as usual. It was as of
now, 4:38a.m. in the morning. Everyday, she goes out to take her
morning jogs at this time and right now, she was still on schedule. She
jogged all around the city and finally rounded the way and toward her
home but turned to the school grounds.
Serena entered the school grounds of her school, which was
nearby her house. The sixteen year old made her way up the steps
and stopped on the topmost step. Serena stopped and sat down on
the top step of the school grounds.
(You could see the ocean view from here. It's beautiful.)
Serena smiled softly at the sunrise as it began to cast its
etheral glow over the city of Juuban. For awhile, the young teenager
sat there and gazed lovingly at the sunrise.
Soon, the sunrise finished and Serena stood up once more and
continued her jog toward her home to get ready for another day
of school.

The whole day was filled with nothing but endless homeworks, quizes,
tests, and teachers. But it was all worth it at the end as the last bell
rang and she could go home.
"Hey Serena!"called out Molly, her best friend.
"Oh! Hey Moll!"Serena smiled as she slowed down.
Together, the two of them walked off to their houses and chatted
enthusiastically about what has been going on.

That night, Serena strode over to her window and gazed at the stars
and the moon.
"Everyday is always normal. Nothing different happens. I just..
I just want something different for once. Something that keeps
me going. An exciting life. Yeah..an exciting life,"Serena said to
the stars and then went in and closed it to get ready for bed.

The next day, Serena went off for her morning jog as usual and
then ended up back at the school grounds and up the steps. This
time, she saw something different. A boy was there, a bit older
than her with unruly brown hair and prussian blue eyes. He didn't
say anything at all but looked at her and then ignored her. Serena
smiled kindly but didn't receive one in return so she just shrugged
it off and turned to sit and wait for the sun to rise once again.
(He seems so cold. I wonder why? Oh well, if he doesn't want
to speak to me. Then so be it.)
Once the sun rose over the horizon she turned to go and gazed back
at the boy but he already turned his back and walked off. So Serena
just turned around and walked down the steps.

Everyday it happened and not once did they speak to each other. They
would just be there and got ready to go and leave.
Until one day...
It was around February now and Serena went over and expected to
see the boy again and sure enough there he was, at his usual spot
near the basketball court and leaning on the pole. She gazed at him
for a moment in wonder and he turned to look at her as well.
(This time, I'll try to get him to talk.) Serena said with a bit of
confidence and strode over to him.
"Hi,"Serena greeted.
The boy didn't say anything but just nodded in greeting.
Serena sighed and pulled her hair back away from her face.
"Everyday I see you here and you never speak. Why?"Serena said.
He turned to stare at her.
"There's nothing to speak about,"he replied in monotone.
"Why don't you tell me your name then?"Serena asked.
The sun began to rise and the two stopped to watch. For a long
while there was silence but in a way it was comforting to them
both.
As soon as it rose, the boy turned to walk away.
"Hey!"Serena called out.
He stopped and turned around to her.
"Aren't you going to say your name?"Serena asked.
"You don't need to know it,"he replied in monotone and went off and
away from her.
"Hmm..."Serena sighed and went down the stairs again.

After that one day, nothing really did change. Everyday it was the
same and Serena really didn't care much.
But then as Serena strode up the steps one day, she halted. She gazed
at the spot where that boy was everyday but this time it was
not the same.
"He's not here,"Serena uttered as her eyes held a bit of disappointment.
It didn't seem right for him to not be there.
For a week, he wasn't there and the following week, Serena didn't feel
like going out for her jog but she forced herself to go. As she neared
the topmost step, she slowed down not wanting to see the disappointing event
that might happen but once she reached it, she smiled.
He was there at his usual position and looked at her for a moment.

For several days he came and would always be at the spot where she
expected him to be. But one day it was raining. Droplets of rain
came pelting down at the ground.
Serena appeared crestfallen at the sight that met her but her expression
changed to determination.
"I won't let rain keep me from going,"Serena muttered with confidence
as she got her rain jacket and went out.
"Serena? Where on earth are you going?"her mother asked.
"My jog,"Serena answered.
"But honey. It's raining,"her mother replied.
"I know..but I won't let it stop me,"Serena smiled and opened and closed
the door behind her.
Serena's mother stayed in that position and wondered for awhile to
herself.

(I bet he's there. I know he is...)Serena went over in her head as
she neared the school and strode up the steps. There on the top
most step was the guy she knew would be there.
"You're here,"Serena said with a small smile.
"And you are too,"he replied.
"I knew you would be. But I wonder why you would come
out in the rain,"Serena stated.
"I should say the same about you,"he retorted.
Serena smiled a warm smile at him and he walked closer to her.
"Everyday you come and when you don't, I keep asking myself
how come. I know I shouldn't ask you because it's none of
my bussiness but somehow...I expect you to be here. It seems
a bit strange whenever you're not here,"Serena told him.
"I couldn't come on those days you expect me to be here
and I can't tell you why,"he simply said.
"I know.."Serena nodded in understanding.
"I'll be leaving again soon,"he told her.
"When?"Serena asked.
"Tomorrow,"he answered.
"Will you come back?"she asked.
"I don't know...but if I do...I'll be here,"he answered with a small smile.
"I'll be here waiting,"Serena smiled a small smile.
He nodded in acceptance and began to go away but stopped and turned.
"Remember that one day when you asked what my name was?"he said to her.
Serena turned around as she was beginning to descend down the steps.
"Yes,"Serena nodded as she recalled that day's event.
"Well, what's your name?"he asked.
"I don't think I can give you that,"Serena said slyly.
"Then give me any name...any name at all,"he said.
"Hmm...I don't want to be called by my actual name. So you
can call me Usagi,"Serena told him.
"And why not, Usagi?"the boy asked.
"It's different...you're different. But if you want to call my
by my name it's Serena. Serena Tsukino,"she told him.
"Serena...well if you want to be called by Usagi. Then okay.
I'll call you that,"he nodded.
"Thanks,"Serena said in gratitude.
He began to walk again.
"Aren't you going to tell me your name?"Serena called out.
He looked back at her.
"Heero. Heero Yuy,"Heero told her and continued to walk off.
(Heero. I finally know your name after all this time.) Serena said
inside her head and went back down the steps and to her home.
As the young teenager finally reached the bottom step, the rain stopped
and the sun was beginning to shine through and a rainbow appeared over
the sky.

Ever since that day, Serena felt a bit lighter and smiled a bit
more. Everyday, she would go out for her jog and she didn't feel
as bad not seeing Heero there. She knew he was away but she would
wait.
(He'll be here one day. He said that he would try.)Serena said
to herself as she watched the sun rise as a sign of a new day.
For awhile that happened and April came. It has been a month now
since that day in the rain.

"Serena!"Molly called out.
"Hey Moll!"Serena greeted.
"Me and the girls are having a sleepover. Want to come?"Molly asked.
Serena debated inside her head about what to do and in the end
nodded.
"Sure, why not,"Serena replied with a sincere smile on her face.
"Great!"Molly exclaimed.

That night, they gathered around Molly's house and chatted and laughed
about what went on and all the gossips that went around.
"Soo...Serena. We've noticed your change. So who is it?"Mina asked.
"What?! What do you mean, who is it?"Serena asked.
"You know what we mean!"Lita retorted.
"I obviously don't,"Serena said.
"*ugh* Serena!"they all exasperated.
"We mean....who is the guy? You've been smiling so much
lately! It's clear to all of us what that means! You haven't
smiled that much since...since..never!"Molly stated.
(Really? That's what's been going on with me?)Serena thought inside
her head as she blinked.
"There's...there's no one,"Serena shook her head.
"Of course there is!"Raye intruded as she joined in.
"Really!"Serena insisted.
"Sure!"all of the girls nodded disbelievingly and hit Serena with
pillows and started a pillow fight as they ganged up on her.

The following morning, Serena woke up and looked around. Everyone was
sleeping soundly.
(I better leave them a note, knowing where I am.)Serena said to
herself as she prepared for her jog and jotted down on a piece of
paper.
Quietly, she left the room and out the door. She breathed in the
fresh air that greeted her and set off for her trip around town.
As she passed by various shops and buildings, her mind wandered.
(I hope Heero is okay...)Serena thought to herself.
Soon, she arrived at the school and glided up the steps. At once
the sun began to rise overhead and Serena's thoughts vanished from
her head as she stared in awe at the beautiful sight that met her.
"I don't think I can ever get enough of this,"Serena said to herself.
"I agree,"said a voice from behind her.
(It couldn't be...)Serena thought inside her head in shock.
Slowly, she turned around and was met with prussian blue eyes that
stared down at her.
"Heero, you're here,"Serena said dumbfounded.
"I said I would be once I get back,"Heero stated with a small smile.
"I'm glad,"Serena replied.
*ahem*
The two turned around to be met with a braided boy, looking at them
both with twinkling indigo eyes and a mischievious smile.
"Duo,"Heero said a warning monotone voice.
"Now, now Heero. There's a lady present,"Duo said in a taunting tone.
"You know him?"Serena inquired.
"Hn,"Heero nodded.
"My name in Serena Tsukino but please call me Usagi,"Serena introduced
herself with a small bow.
"Name's Duo. Duo Maxwell,"Duo greeted with a big smile.
"What are you doing here Duo?"Heero turned to him in monotone.
"Just wandering where you go whenever we come around this part
of town,"Duo grinned.
"I better get going. It's been nice meeting you, Duo,"Serena waved
and went down stairs and back to Molly's house.

The very next day, Serena came earlier than usual at the basketball
court of the school near her house. She sat down on the steps and
faced the horizon.
"You're early,"Heero said in monotone.
"Yeah, I know,"Serena said not turning to face him.
Heero strode over and sat down next to her in silence.
"So Duo is your friend?"Serena asked.
"..you could say that,"Heero said after some thought.
"I see..."Serena said with a small sigh.
For awhile there was silence between the two.
"You know...it's been awhile since we first met. At first
you were so distant and we wouldn't speak to each other. Now...we
sort of talk...it's quite odd what time does to people. It
changes them a lot, doesn't it,"Serena said to him.
"Mmm...yeah..it does,"Heero nodded in monotone.

The sun rose over the horizon signalling a new day and the two
left after a hasty good-bye.
