DISCLAIMER:  I'M BACK!!!!!!  I know, I know...I'm suppose to get the next

longer than I thought.  On top of that my computer is down so I have to

use my brother's which is sort of rare because he doesn't trust me

with using my disc.  This story is a bit short and a bit odd or pointless

Here's the voting of the pairings so far!!

 

Heero/Serena-Usagi :  53   (((You know who's winning so far!)))

Trowa/Serena-Usagi:   31   (((More votes on this guy!!)))

Wufei/Serena-Usagi :   5   (((Well it got higher!)))

Quatre/Serena-Usagi:   3   ((Uhhh...-_-;;))

 

***************

 

 Quatre heard the screech of the car in back of them and he turned his head.

 "What's going on back there?"Quatre wondered.

 Heero just shrugged and turned his head back to the front of the road.  Quatre

was a bit worried but gave a sigh of defeat as he averted his gaze.

 

  "What do you mean you saw them kissing?!" Wufei demanded and shouted.

  "Heero and Relena?!  Heero?!  Heero Yuy?! And Relena?  Relena

Darlian Peacecraft?!  The psychopathic, stalking pacifist?!  That

Relena?!" Duo exclaimed in a shocked tone.

  "The same Heero and Relena?"Trowa asked, his voice a bit louder

than he usually talked.

  Usagi gazed at all of them, staring into their bewildered and

shocked faces.  Even Trowa was showing a lot of expression instead

of his usual calm look and detached facade. 

  "None of this happens often with Heero and Relena?"Usagi questioned.

  "Of course not!!  Those two?  Kissing?  Under the moonlight?!

That's like..that's like..."Duo tried to come up with something suitable.

  "That's like having a full blue moon out in the day time while at

the same time having Trowa speaking a whole bunch of words non stop like

Duo.  And Duo actually shutting up and giving up on being open and laying

off of calling me Wu-man!  Plus Heero would be turning into

a pacifist!"Wufei supplied.

  "Hey!"Duo protested while Trowa glared at Wufei.

  "It works,"Wufei shrugged.

  "What are the chances of that happening?"Usagi said.

  "One in infinty,"all of them answered.

  Usagi querked an eyebrow at them.

  "So what you're telling is actually the truth?"Duo tried to make sure.

  "Yes, I swear!  They kissed!  I saw them with my own very

eyes!"Usagi nodded in answer.

  Duo shook his head muttering.

  "I don't believe it."

  "Heero and Relena."

  "Yuy and that onna."

 

  For the rest of the ride, the three pilots with Usagi were still

in a phase of disbelief.  On the other car, it was just..well, silent

with the occasional bits of chatter from Quatre and the 'hn' of Heero.

  The two groups got out of the car.  Wufei, Duo, and Trowa came

out a bit dazed still while Quatre, Heero, and Rashid came out looking

okay.  Usagi was okay but currently thinking about what was really going on.

  "What's wrong with you guys?"Quatre asked them.

  Wufei was muttering incoherent words that Quatre couldn't make out.

Duo was going on about 'I don't believe it.'  Trowa's expression

was confusion instead of calmness.  None of them gave an answer so

Quatre turned to Usagi.

  "What happened back there?  First the car swerved when we made a turn

awhile back and now they're just acting...like...like this,"Quatre waved

his hand to the boys in the back as they walked toward their private

shuttle which was preparing for take-off. 

  "I will be leaving you all now.  I must return back to the

mansion,"Rashid announced and turned to go.

  "Good-bye,"Usagi waved and Quatre gave a nod.

  Quatre got the Maguanacs to get a private shuttle just for the six of

them.  They entered the shuttle and Usagi was in awe as she stared at the

roomy interior.

  "Wow, I never rode a private shuttle before,"Usagi murmered.

  The boys just entered, sitting down.  Heero sat a bit way off from the

others while Wufei sat down to the nearest chair near the exit.  Trowa

sat down next to Quatre without a word.  Duo was still standing, grinning

now and returning back to normal but slowly.  When his gaze

went toward Heero he went back to shaking his head muttering 'I don't believe

it.'

  "They're still in their stupor,"Quatre quietly pointed out from his seat.

  Usagi chose a seat beside the window across from Wufei and in front

of Duo's chosen seat.

  "I'm sorry, Quatre.  I was the cause of this,"Usagi bowed her head.

  Heero stared at her, wondering how she could be at fault.  Quatre

turned his head toward her direction, eyes widening.

  "How Usagi?"Quatre murmered.

  "..I don't think you'd want to find out,"Wufei muttered, hearing the

conversation that was beginning.

  Trowa merely nodded his head.

  "I still can't believe it.  Did we have a blue moon yesterday

or something?"Duo uttered.

  "At least they can hear what's going on now,"Quatre commented.

  "How did you make them go into that trance?"Heero demanded.

  The three pilots:  Duo, Wufei, and Trowa stared at Heero and

they all turned their heads returning to what they've been

rambling or thinking about.

  "Okay, from what it looks like.  Everytime they stare at Heero,

they go into that position of theirs.  What did you say or do

to them to make them act this way, Usagi?"Quatre questioned her.

  "Well..."Usagi hesitated.

  "Whatever,"Heero shook his head and took out his laptop and

began typing into it, ignoring whatever was going on.

  Usagi gazed back at Heero and she seemed to be in a bit of

shock but pushed it aside.

  *FLASHBACK*

  The two embracing under the moonlight and stars.

  Relena raising her head to meet his eyes.

  Nuzzling him.

  Finally they kiss.

  *END OF FLASHBACK*

  Usagi couldn't get that picture off of her mind but as Quatre stared

at her, she snapped back to the present time.

  "We will be ready for take off in eighteen minutes.  Please wait while

we put the baggages inside and fill up the fuel tank,"a voice

sounded out from the speakers.

  "I'm sorry Quat-chan.  I was out of it for awhile, I'm

okay now,"Usagi apologized.

  "Do you still want to know?"Usagi softly asked him.

  He nodded his head.

  "Alright,"Usagi sighed and got up from her seat and bent down next to him.

  Usagi ushered him to come closer and he obeyed.  She whispered in

his ear, telling him the words that plagued their minds and his eyes widened.

By the time she was done, his mouth was gaping and his expression was

priceless.  Usagi shook her head and gave a sigh.

  "Like the others said, you wouldn't want to find out,"Usagi told him.

  "..I..I..what...the...they....them..."Quatre stuttered.

  Usagi got up from her position and sat back down in her seat.

(The others are still shocked but their expressions is something

to remember!)Usagi grinned and turned her head to see Duo who

was still muttering.

  She stared at Trowa and Quatre.  Trowa in deep thought with his eyes

wide while Quatre stuttering incoherent words.  Wufei was a bit calm

now but he was mumbling something she couldn't figure out.  The only

one that acted anywhere near *ahem* normal was Heero who didn't have

a clue what was going on as he consistently typed on his laptop.

 Usagi looked out the window from her seat.  The scenery outside

appeared to be calm and tranquil.  There was no big commotion,

no screaming banshee, no soldier coming to kill her or the others,

no fire, no big event going around that had to be dealt with. 

Nothing to disturb this place.  The sky was blue and the sun was

shining brightly with birds in the distance flying with such grace

and speed.

  "Nothing but the scene before me and the past behind me.  With the

future to look forward to,"Usagi whispered out.

 

 "We will soon be taking off for, San Francisco, California.  Please

buckle your seatbelts,"the pilot announced and continued on with the

same procedures.

  Usagi unconsciously buckled hers and rested her head on her chair,

closing her eyes, immediately falling asleep.  Heero stopped typing

and put his laptop away, then put his seatbelt on.  The others followed

shortly after, coming out of their dazes.  His eyes travelled to a

certain 'Yumetenshi' and his prussian blue eyes softened as he gazed

at her. 

  (I'm sorry boku wa tenshi.  Sorry for hurting you as much as I have.)

  As the plane began for take off, his eyes never left the sleeping

angel.

  Duo was now snoring peacefully in slumber while Quatre's eyes went

outside, staring at the clouds and the ocean below.  Trowa turned

his head and stared at the sleeping princess, her eyes closed and

some of her golden hair falling over her face.  She was so innocent

and peaceful as she continued to slumber. 

  (My princess, my hime.  I could look at you forever.)

  Wufei was trying to fall asleep but he wasn't able to.  When Usagi

told them about what she saw, troubled him.  It had his mind spinning

and picturing the two together.

  (That onna!  Look what she got me into!)Wufei grumbled as he peeked

at the sleeping girl but as he did his expression softened.

 

  Usagi was tossing and turning as she dreamed.  Her face changed

from peaceful to problematic.  The sweet angelic features were altered

to one who is having a traumatic event within their mind.

  "Should we wake her?"Trowa quietly suggested.

  "I suppose we can, we're already up in the air,"Quatre consented.

  "I'll go wake her up,"all three volunteered.

  At that moment, Duo woke up.  His eyes were wide and he breathed

a sigh of relief.  He heard a small whimper come out from the person

in front of him, at once Duo went to go see the problem.  There

he saw, Usagi/Serena having a troublesome dream.

  "Usa. Usa wake up,"Duo slightly shook the sleeping girl.

  Usagi slept on.  Duo got out from the seat while the three guys were

still discussing about who should wake Usagi up.  He slipped into the

vacant chair next to Usagi and he draped his arm around her shoulders

and shook her whie saying her name.

  "Sere. Usagi.  Come on, it's only a dream,"he whispered.

  Usagi turned her head onto his shoulder and her eyes fluttered open.

Her crystalline blue eyes first held shock but went back to a hint of

sadness then to relief.

  "D-Duo?"Usagi quietly whispered.

  "Shh...it was only a dream Usa.  I'm here,"Duo assured her.

  "I'm glad,"Usagi uttered and nuzzled into his arms.

 

 All four other pilots snapped their attention toward the two.

Usagi in Duo's arms.  Quatre was at first shocked at seeing this but

it melted to an expression made to be a frown and an icy stare.  Wufei,

at the moment, was acting as if he didn't see the intimate moment between

the two and folded his arms. Inside his thoughts, he was seething

with a bit of jealousy but tried to stomp it away.

  (I do not care about who that onna sees!  I don't!)

  Heero saw this from his seat in the back.  He wasn't taking this lightly

as he gave Duo's back a death glare and made a note to himself to

threaten and possibly beat Duo up once they land and he was alone.

  (I should've gotten to her first instead of staying in my seat.) 

  Trowa glared at Duo with ice, fire, and death mixed into his dark green

eyes.  He was practically fuming but attempted to make it appear as if

he wasn't.  However, if you took the moment to stare into his eyes, you

would see all the jealousy and dislike he had for the braided boy

who was holding his hime.

 

  Duo wasn't really aware about what was going on around him.  Right now,

he was holding the girl he cares about in his arms.  And if he believed

in heaven and hell, he would say that he was in heaven at this moment.  But

he didn't, so he was in pure bliss.  Duo slightly pulled Usagi into his

arms more closely and she consented by burrying herself into his chest while

Duo was able to nuzzle himself into the mane of her golden hair.  It smelled

like sunflowers to him.

  (I don't want to let go of this moment, this is true rapture!)

  The other G-pilots witnessed the event taken place and when he buried

his head into her golden locks, they practically burst but contained themselves.

Quatre wanted to shout out 'NO' while Wufei wanted to grab the braided baka and

throw him far away and into the ocean but before cutting away his precious braid.

Trowa so badly wanted to grab ahold of his knives and fling them at him or

toss Duo into a cage full of lions.  His glare tripled as he stared at him.

Heero at that moment was about to shoot Duo but stopped himself before he

could.  They all knew that if they acted on their emotions Usagi wouldn't

forgive any of them. 

  "You should try to get some rest, Usa,"Duo quietly told her.

  "I can't go back to sleep,"Usagi protested.

  "Nightmare?"Duo guessed.

  "Yes.  So many of them, the images of..."Usagi trailed off.

  "Go on, I won't say anything about it.  You can trust me,"Duo urged her.

  "Nevermind, Duo.  Thank you for waking me up and being here,"Usagi said.

  Duo grinned down at the girl who gazed up at him.  They were close enough

to kiss but neither one made the move to do so. 

  "I'll always be here when you need me.  Don't you remember

what I said a long time ago?  I'll take care of you and that's what

I'm going to do,"Duo said staring down into her blue eyes.

  "I remember and you're here right now,"Usagi uttered.

  "I'll be right here if you need.  Just go and sleep."

  "You'll be here to wake me up if I have a nightmare?"

  "I will, I promise."

  Usagi trusted him on his word and layed her head down on his arms

and fell asleep.  He watched her with content, admiring the sleeping

girl. 

 

  Quatre couldn't take this anymore.  He got out of his seat and strolled

into the cockpit, not looking back.  No one stopped him as he went through

the door, nor did they even notice him.  All eyes fell toward Duo and Usagi.

  "How long till we arrive at San Francisco?"Quatre inquired.

  "Two more hours, Master Quatre,"the pilot answered.

  "Would you care to join us?"the second man offered.

  "No thank you, I'll return to my seat,"Quatre politely rejected the offer

and strode out of the door.

  When Quatre arrived back, nothing much changed.  Actually nothing

happened except the same thing when he was still there. 

  "Two more hours till we get there,"Quatre announced as he sat down.

  "Hn."

  "...."

  "...."

  "Hmph."

  *silence*

  After ten minutes, Duo fell asleep and rested his head on top of Usagi's,

earning harder glares and promises of worse deaths.

  "I say we should carry him out of the emergency exit and cast him

off,"Wufei spoke up.

  "Shove him into the broom closet and leave him to rot,"Quatre said.

  That got him surprised looks.

  "What?!"Quatre exclaimed.

  "..nothing,"Wufei mumbled.

  "....."

  "Shoot him and throw him out,"Heero said in monotone.

  All the other three pilots turned their heads to stare at him, eyes widened

and they were all silent.  Images of two people resurfacing and so they

averted their gazes.  Wufei mumbled incoherent words once more.  Quatre

was stuttering while Trowa was just silent.

  "Hn.  Those guys,"Heero grumbled in monotone.

 

  An hour later, Usagi blinked her eyes and yawned.  She noticed that Duo

had his head on her shoulder she tried not to move.  His lips were slightly

parted and his bangs were drifting on his eyes and his braid over his shoulder.

He was so cute in her eyes, she let herself lightly smile at the image that

appeared before her.

  Slowly she got out of his hold and his head fell to the side of the chair.

Usagi scanned the room and all eyes were on her. 

  "What?"Usagi innocently inquired.

  "..nothing,"Wufei mumbled and averted her gaze.

  Trowa didn't say anything but veered his head to the ground.  Heero

already had his head facing another way.  Quatre blushed and mumbled

an apology that she couldn't hear.

  Usagi shook her head and got out of her seat.  She decided to sit next

to Wufei now and gave a smile of greeting.

  "What do you want, o--Usagi,"Wufei asked/demanded, he was about to say

onna but stopped himself from saying it.

  "Nothing, just a mere question,"Usagi said.

  "Well?"Wufei uttered.

  Usagi raised her bandaged hands up to him and he took the hint.

  "Not yet, wait for two more days and we'll see,"Wufei said.

  "Okay,"Usagi shrugged and continued to sit there.

  All the other guys in the room were already glaring at them but

Duo who was still sleeping.  Wufei glared back at them, full force, however,

it didn't make them flinch or turn away.

  "Wufei?"Usagi uttered, catching his attention.

  "Have you ever been to San Francisco?"Usagi asked.

  "Yes,"Wufei answered.

  "How many times? Is it sunny? Cold?"

  "Couple of times.  Sometimes sunny and a lot of times cold."

  "Why are we going there?  Where will we stay?"

  "You ask a lot of questions, Usagi,"Wufei chuckled.

  "Sorry,"Usagi bowed her head down and allowed herself to blush.

  "You remind me of a little girl, innocent and pure,"Wufei smiled.

  Usagi blushed more and the guys glared harder.

  (Why did I say that?!  I shouldn't have!  Grab ahold of yourself

Chang!  This is a weak onna!  Keep saying that to yourself!)

  "To your questions...I can't answer to why we're going there.  We're

staying at Duo's place for awhile and then we'll see from there,"Wufei

answered.

  Usagi merely nodded and then gazed outside the window.  She could

see a whole lot of clouds and some birds farther south of them. Down

below all she could see were more clouds and some glimpses of the ocean.

  "It's so peaceful and quiet now,"Usagi quietly commnented.

  Quatre left again and then came back shortly after with a black

jacket.

  "I suggest you wear this, Usagi.  It will be cold once we land,"Quatre

told her.

  Usagi turned her head from the window and gave him a sunny smile that

would make any one's heart melt. 

  "Thank you, Quatre,"Usagi said as she took the jacket and put it around

herself.

 

  "Please return to your seats and buckle down, we'll be landing

shortly,"the pilot announced.

  Usagi got up and sat down next to Duo once more, buckling his seatbelt

as well as hers.  She brushed back his bangs and gave a small smile

then leaned down on her chair, glimpsing at the cloudy sky and then up

at the ceiling.

  (That dream, no, nightmare.  I can't shake it off.  Those images.

Those people.  That one guy.  I can make out their screams for help.

The burning fire, I could almost feel it and smell the rotting

flesh of my family.  Then that man would always be there after

the sun rises and over at the house of my family beyond the fire. 

I don't feel threatened by him, on the contrary.  I believe he's there

to take me somewhere safe and feel protected, but who is that man?

And then...that other part of my dream.  The stars, the moon, and..

and Relena.  Always there, her cornflower blue eyes mocking me.

Why does she seem to hate me?  What did I do?  She has Heero. 

So why would she appear to be so cold toward me?)Usagi wondered,

closing her eyes and feeling the plane start to descend.

 

To be continued...

******************

Okies there goes the chapter and you'll need to wait awhile for the others

because this computer I'm using is a bit..limited since my brother's

around.  -_-;;  So sorry, I just hope that my computer will be

repaired soon but seeing my brother doing nothing but waiting...that's

a sign to me that it may be awhile. 

 I'll do what I can to get the next chapter out soon! But I'm not

making any promises.  Sorry for any grammars or spelling mistakes

in this chapter!
