BWAHAHAHAHA!!! You'll never catch me!! *keeps on driving it away*

*steals a look behind her*  *two helicopters, eight police cars, four

soldiers on motorcycles trailing behind her*  Wow...that's a lot

AUTHOR'S NOTES:  *sigh*  Well, I'm back once more.  I'll TRY to

make this chapter longer or something.  Okay? 

Yes, all the guys have feelings towards her!  I didn't steal anything!!

I made it up!  Imagination, get it?  Anyhoo, there are lots of fics

where all the guys like Usagi/Serena and she'd like them too but that

would take place over at Quatre's mansion.  Over here it's on a plane.

Plus! *eyes twinkle* Did I say that she really loves all of them back?

I will get Usagi's decision out soon but for now, let's eliminate

some contestants but not at the moment...not now.

 

Here's the ratings so far!!

 

Heero/Serena-Usagi :  60   (((You know who's winning so far!)))

Trowa/Serena-Usagi:   38   (((More votes on this guy!!)))

Duo/Serena-Usagi   :  10   (((More over here!!)))

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

Quatre/Serena-Usagi:   3

 

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

   The shuttle for San Francisco, California landed on the airport. Quatre

was first to get out of his seat followed by a quiet Trowa.  Heero was next

and so was Wufei.  Usagi unbuckled her belt and was about to wake up Duo

when she was met by Trowa. 

  "Let us wake him up, hime. You can go out and wait for us,"Trowa said.

  "...okay,"Usagi hesitantly nodded. 

  Looking back one last time, she saw all of the guys excluding Maxwell

gazing at her.

  (That's odd, why would they be offering to wake up Duo?  It only

takes one person to, doesn't it?)Serena/Usagi wondered.

  Usagi stepped out into the cool building, thousands of people were

walking around or doing whatever.  She made her way toward the window and

saw what was outside.  A cloudy sky with only a slight glimpse of the

sun greeted her.  Practically everyone wore a jacket here in San Francisco.

  "A new home, a new life,"Usagi muttered under her breath, her crystalline

blue eyes travelling toward the city.

 

  "How should we wake the baka?"Wufei grumbled.

  Trowa and Heero didn't suggest anything while Quatre just glared out the

small window.  Wufei mumbled under his breath then stalked toward the

sleeping Duo and whacked him upside the head. 

  "Mister fluffy bunnies....*snore*...cheesy tater tots...*snore*

....call the monster man...over there...*snore*"Duo mumbled.

  Quatre querked an eye brow while Wufei rolled his eyes and tugged

at his braid.

  "AHHH!! Mister Fluffy Bunnies!!!"Duo shouted, he stopped yelling when

he noticed the guys.

  Wufei mumbled baka while Trowa gave a hint of amusement.  Heero was

silent and Quatre stared down at his shoes and bit his lip.

  "Oh, hey guys!"Duo grinned.

  They glared at their comrade which was met with uncomfortable silence.

  "What's the matter?"Duo asked and looked around the shuttle, he noticed

a missing person.

  "Where's Usagi?"Duo inquired.

  "Guys?"Duo was beginning to get a bit uneasy under their glares.

  "Usagi is waiting outside,"Heero answered in monotone and walked

out of the shuttle.

  Duo merely gulped and took off the buckle then got out of the chair.

The other three pilots were still there, gazing at them. 

  "What?"Duo innocently asked.

  When he said that, Trowa went out and then so did Quatre.  Lastly,

Wufei went off.

  "That was weird...almost as weird as that Heero thing.  Almost,"Duo mumbled.

 

  "I'll get us a cab,"Quatre told the guys, walking off to the phone booth.

  Heero was missing, once Duo got up to them.  He just stood there in silence

among some of his comrades.

  "You said Usagi was waiting outside, where is she?"Duo inquired.

  "....."

  "....."

  "It was only a simple question,"Duo mumbled, putting his hands inside

the pockets of his black jacket.

   

  Heero saw his Yumetenshi sitting on one of the chairs near the window. 

Her head bowed and gazing at the maroon carpets.  Heero unconsciously walked

behind her.  His prussian blue eyes studying the scene before him. 

  (She appears to be sad..)Heero noted to himself.

  Without a second thought, Heero placed his warm hands on her right

shoulder.

 

  (Huh?)Serena/Usagi said within her head when she felt a hand.

  She cocked her head upwards and was met with Heero's silent gaze.  Her

blue eyes met his and nothing was said after awhile.

  (Did I hurt her that much?  Her eyes hold pain and betrayal.)Heero wondered.

 

  The two merely gazed at one another, neither moving.  His hand still

on her shoulder but slowly he made a move to drop it.  But it never did,

Usagi reached up to hold his hand with hers. 

  Usagi was about to speak when they both heard her name being called out.

Heero slipped out of her hold and moved away from her as she got up to

face the others.

  "Usagi! Heero!  Let's go.  Our ride is here,"Quatre informed them.

  Heero grunted and walked off.  Usagi stood in that position, staring

after his retreating back. 

  "Usagi, come on."

  Serena/Usagi dumbly nodded and followed behind Quatre with Wufei

behind her.

 

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

  "San Francisco is so, so..."Usagi was thinking of something to say.

  "Cold?"

  "Cloudy?"

  "Or foggy?"

  "All of those,"Usagi gave them an amused grin.

 

  They finally arrived to a two story blue and white house. Duo got out first and

up the steps. 

  "Well here it is!  My house!" Duo announced with a playful grin on his face.

  "This is where we're staying for awhile,"Quatre added.

  All the guys took their baggages inside the house.  Inside, it was warm

and comfortable looking.  There was a staircase leading upstairs.  The kitchen

was to the left connected to the dining area.  Living room was to their right.

  "All the rooms are upstairs,"Duo told them.

  "So who's rooming with who?"Wufei spoke up.

  "Mi-...Usagi will have her own room of course,"Quatre stated.

  This was earned with agreements, neither one wanting the other to have

the same room as hers.

  "So who's rooming with who?"Duo inquired.

  Serena/Usagi strolled out of the room and into the living area.  It was

simple, just like her old home.  A couch, television, lamp, etc.  Something

that normal houses would have.  The place was clean with no sign of gathering

dust.  Whoever was the caretaker here while Duo was gone sure did a good

job.  As the young teenager got closer, she noticed that there was a PS196

under the DVD.  Games were lined up on a shelf nearby.

 

  "Okay, so I'll be rooming with Trowa and Heero with Wufei.  Duo can have

his own room,"Quatre stated.

  "Yup,"Duo nodded with acceptance.

  Usagi just surveyed the scene with quiet reverance.  Listening to them

talk and discuss their sleeping quarters.

  "Duo?  Do you mind if I check the place out?"Usagi requested.

  "Not at all!  Go ahead!  Just don't enter my room upstairs at the

end of the right side of the hall, kay?"Duo grinned.

  Usagi nodded and climbed upstairs.

 

  Several minutes later, the guys began taking up the bags and placing

them inside each room to whoever it belonged to.  Nothing was said and

neither stopped to rest.

  "Do you need help?"Usagi asked the guys when she noticed what they

were doing.

  They shook their head, refusing the offer.

  "We can handle it, Usa,"Duo stated.

  "We're almost finished,"Quatre said.

  She continued to stare after them once they continued to unpack and

carry the remaining packages.

  (Stubborn lot, why won't they just let me help them?)Usagi frowned.

  The teenager went off to her room that Duo informed her about and

sat down on the bed, the door slightly open.  Her bags were already

there, so she began to unpack the clothes into the drawers.

  Quatre seemed to know what she would bring.  Even though these

weren't her actual clothes, it did fit her and she liked them. 

These garments belonged to his sisters, the younger ones, and

they were the ones that they either outgrew or just left behind

or didn't bother to wear.

  After a couple of hours, she finished and began to undo her hair.  It was

windblown and needed brushing.  Serena/Usagi began to comb it and her

thoughts wandered off. 

 

  "Why exactly are we here again?"Duo questioned Wufei as he helped him

unpack alongside Heero.

  "Kyoko Yoarashi,"was the only reply.

  "Kyoko?"Duo mimicked, unsure.

  "......"

  "Oh!! You mean the chick, the one who sent that guy.."Duo remembered.

  No one said anything else.

  "Are we going to hunt her down or something?"Duo wondered outloud.

  "Hn."Heero grunted.

  "Is that a yes or a no?"Duo prodded.

  "Hn."

  "That doesn't answer anythin'..."Duo rolled his eyes.

  "Maxwell, shut up!"Wufei exclaimed.

  At that time, Trowa and Quatre stood over at the doorway.

  "You guys..."Quatre caught their attention.

  "..We have a mission,"Trowa said in an uncaring tone.

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

  "Where could Heero be?"Relena muttered to herself.

  The pacifist returned to her temporary house over at Juuban.  Her

cornflower blue eyes, holding unanswered questions and a bit of worry.  She

did care for the Perfect Soldier even if he...didn't.  She would not give

up until he was hers.  She wouldn't.

  *knock* *knock*

  "Your tea, Miss Relena,"a maid announced.

  "Come in,"

  The door opened and the maid placed the tray over at the unused coffee

table.

  "Oh, and Miss Relena there's a visitor for you,"the maid added.

  Relena turned to the maid, showing her that she wanted her to go on

if there's anything more to be said.

  "She wouldn't say what her purpose here was but she promised

that she's not here to cause any harm,"the maid told her.

  "Very well,"Relena nodded and picked up the fresh cup of tea,"Show

her in."

  The maid did a small curtsy then left to fetch the visitor.

  (I wonder who this person is...)Relena wondered, sipping the tea.

 

  The young woman wore a navy blue bussiness suit.  Her dark purple,

almost black, hair done in a bun.  She wore black spectacles over her

purplish eyes.  The woman appeared to be someone important and she

is. 

  Footsteps came up and the maid came over to her, bowing lightly.

  "Miss Relena will see you now,"the maid announced.

  The woman didn't say anything but followed her.  It made the maid

uneasy as she led her through the silent hallway, only their footsteps

sounding out.  Finally, they stopped in front of the door.  The maid

gulped and knocked.

  "Come in,"Relena's voice answered.

  She opened it and bobbed a curtsy as Relena turned around, her face

smiling at the visitor. 

  "This is the one who wanted to meet with you, Miss Relena,"the maid

told her.

  "You may go now,"Relena shot a look at the maid.

  The petite woman bowed and left the two alone, shutting the door behind

her.

  "Please, sit down,"Relena waved her hand over to the empty seat in

front of where she currently was positioned at.

  "Thank you,"the woman said, sitting down.

  She held onto a little folder and placed them next to the tray filled

with tea and some biscuits.

  "Would you care for some tea?"Relena offered.

  "No thank you."

  "Very well,"Relena placed her cup down onto the table and stared at

the older woman.

  "I'm here on bussiness."

  "What is it that you would want from me?"Relena inquired.

  "Nothing much.  It doesn't really concern you much at all.  I was just

told that you were here as well.  Being the kind of person that would

want to meet with respectable people, such as myself.  I came to greet

you and maybe talk,"the woman said in a slightly kind voice.

  "Thank you for the comment,"Relena quietly blushed.

  "If I may ask, why are you here?  I was told by one of your maids that

your purpose here is already finished some time ago.  Why are you

still here?"the woman asked.

  "My..friend.  I saw my friend here,"Relena hesitantly replied.

  "Oh, and where is..your friend,"the lady prodded.

  "....I don't know,"Relena quietly answered, her eyes showing sadness as

she averted the woman's gaze.

  "I saw them leave in a car when I was coming in.  They didn't even

say good-bye,"Relena continued.

  "What kind of friend does that?"the lady said with a bit of coldness in them.

  "I don't mind, really, I don't,"Relena told her.

  "What kind of bussiness are you here for?"Relena tried to change the subject.

  "It's a bit of a secret but maybe you could help me with it?"the lady said

a bit mysteriously.

  "Help?  Sure,"Relena said.

  "Good, I was looking for some documents here and I was able to retreive

them.  Actually someone else did,"the lady told her.  The lady reached over to the table

and took the small folder into her hands.  She opened them up and rustled through

some sheets of paper.

  "The papers inside was filled with some nonsense but something caught my

eye,"the lady continued to talk and took out a picture.

  "This,"the lady showed it to Relena.

  "Why would that be of importance to you?"Relena asked her, her eyes knitting

together in wonder.

  (Oh no...)Relena gasped within her head.

  It was a picture of the five Gundams, side by side.

  "The Gundams are quite extraordinary, don't you think?  However, they

are a nuisance and would only bring destruction to the peace which has

been established.  They must be destroyed, don't you agree?"the lady

stated.

  "But why, destroy them?  They've helped a lot when we were in

need,"Relena said.

  "You don't agree with me?  I was sure that you out of everyone

would be on my side.  You are after all after peace.  Settling the

arguements without fighting,"the woman was a bit shocked.

  "..I do agree in pacifism.  I really do, but destroy the Gundams?"Relena

sighed.

  "Good you are on my side then,"the woman lightly smiled, ignoring the

question of the Gundams.

  "But..."Relena started to speak but what cut off.

  "Now then, we should begin our search for them,"the woman's eyes glinted.

  "I guess so, but where should we start?"Relena relented.

  "That's the spirit!  I received word to go to the desert.  There's

a base there but there's also something that must be dealt with over at

California,"the lady said to her

  "So why are you telling me this anyways?"Relena wanted to know.

  "I figured that you should go to California, while I'm at

the desert,"the woman slyly told her.

  "California?"Relena's eyes widened.

  "Do you have any purpose to stay here?"the woman inquired.

  Relena was silent.

  "See?  So will you go?"

  "...I guess so.  What do I have to do?"Relena asked her.

  "Nothing too big.  There's a class of soldiers located at San Mateo.

All you have to do is be there and they'll give you a report about

what's going on.  I'm not too sure about what the problem is but

I'm sure you can handle it,"the lady informed her.

  "Okay,"Relena dumbly nodded.

  "Well, I must be off.  We're leaving tomorrow,"the lady got up with

her folder.

  Relena got up as well from her seat, walking with the woman out

the room and down the hall.  It was quiet, nothing was said.  Finally,

they reached the front door.  Each facing the other.

  "Now remember, tomorrow.  Near noontime.  A car will be here to

pick you up to go to the airport where a plane awaits you,"the

woman reminded her.

  "Yes, I understand.  It's nice to meet you..uhh.."Relena didn't know

her name.

  The woman gave a small smile and took off her glasses, placing them

into her breast pocket.  Her eyes shone with slight amusement at the

young girl.  She let out her hand and shook the girl's hand.

  "Kyoko.  Kyoko Yoarashi,"Kyoko told her before opening the door and

going out. 

  A black car was waiting for her with a driver, who was opening

the car door for her.  She got in, took one last look at Relena, and then

the car sped off.

  "Kyoko Yoarashi. I'll be sure to remember that,"Relena murmered.

***********

  The very next day, Relena was ready to go.  She wore a maroon dress

with a pink scarf around her neck.  Two bags were on the pavement floor right

next to her, the third was a small case which she held on to.

  The car drove up onto the drive way and Relena placed her bags onto the trunk

with the help of the driver.  She sat down and gazed outside the window.

  "Heero..."Relena murmered, almost seeing his face out at the blue sky.

  (I'll meet you again, my Heero.)Relena vowed within her head.

  The car started and drove off toward the airport.

 

  Once there, the driver came to her and gave her a ticket.

  "This will get you onto the plane.  It's a bit slower than the shuttle

but oh, well.  It's a first class ticket, though.  You'll get there before

nightfall, I'm sure of it,"the driver told her.

  Relena stared at the ticket and nodded in acceptance.  He helped her

with the bags and after ahwile, she was going inside.

  (Another trip for a purpose.)Relena inwardly sighed.

  She sat down next to an old man, she gave him a warm smile before staring

out at the window.

  "I guess we'll be sitting next to each other for the ride to San Fransico.

Are you there for vacation?"the old man tried to start a conversation.

  "No, I have to do something there.  I'm helping someone out,"Relena politely

answered.

  "I'm just going there for a small visit,"the old man told her.

  "So you've been there before?"Relena said.

  "Yes, for a short while though.  I'm from one of the colonies,"the old

man told her.

  "That's interesting,"Relena nodded and then turned her head to stare outside.

  The plane wasn't ready to go yet.  People were still entering the airplane.

She could hear small bits of chatter and babies crying or children whining.

  (This will be a long ride...a really long ride..)Relena said within her head,

sighing.

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

  "So what's your report?"Kyoko Yoarashi demanded, once her plane landed.

  She was facing three men, who were a bit uneasy under her presence.

  "We were able to build the number of Leos, Taurus', and Mobile Dolls that

you have ordered.  There is also another good news,"one of the soldiers

reported.

  "Oh, really?  And what is that?"Yoarashi raised an eyebrow.

  "One of the soldiers have managed to grab ahold of a blueprint of a

Gundam.  An old model, but a Gundam,"the second soldier told her.

  "Is it being worked on right now?"Yoarashi asked.

  "Yes.  Of course we're doing a bit of modifications and adding and changing

a few things.  That way it may be able to face another Gundam,"the third

soldier stated.

  "Good,"Kyoko Yoarashi approved.

  She went over to an awaiting vehicle and got on.

  "Soon those Pilots will know where we are and we'll be able to be ready

for them.  I've managed to get that Peacecraft to help me out, so naive.

She was easier than I thought her to be.  Of course, at the moment she

was hesitant but she relented in the end,"Kyoko Yoarashi smirked.

  "Why did you get Relena Peacecraft?  Is it because she's a symbol

of peace?"a soldier asked her.

  Kyoko shot the soldier a look but softened.

 "Partially.  Befriending her will help cover up some stuff.  But that's

only an added bonus for us.  The main reason is because she's close to the

Gundam Pilots.  I've watched her from far away and one of them in particular

saves her a lot of times,"Kyoko Yoarashi told the soldier.

  "Now quit asking so many questions,"Yoarashi told them.

  Yoarashi tugged on her white uniform.  She wore a white shirt with

a white blazer over it that reached to her hip.  It was buttoned up to the

second of the top button.  There were silver buttons and silver linings

around it.  Her skirt was matching white that reached a bit shorter of

her knees.  Kyoko's hair was done up the same style as yesterday, in a bun

and she wore her usual spectacles.

  After awhile, the vehicle stopped and Yoarashi stepped out.  A base

was there hidden in the sand dunes, it was underground.  The other

three officers came out of the car and one of them approached a sand dune

with the other two.  All three of them dusted one of the dunes and after

awhile halted.  The first officer who approached it, took out a flat card

and placed it in a small slot.  The dune began to shake till all the sand fell

off and towered over them.

  "Nicely done,"Kyoko complimented as she stepped up and went inside the

now tall tower.

  There was a series of stairs as they descended but their leader didn't say

a word.  Once they reached the bottom floor, tons of soldiers and scientists

were at work. 

  "Where's the room with the machines I told you to make?"Yoarashi demanded.

  One of the soldiers saluted and led Yoarashi to a far room at the end.  He

placed a code and it opened, revealing a room full of Mobile Dolls and only

Mobile Dolls.

  "There are two rooms filled with the Dolls, same with the Leos and

Taurus',"the soldier informed her.

  "Only two?"Kyoko Yoarashi said.

  "The other orders you've sent out were done by neighboring bases at

the desert far off near the edge,"a second soldier spoke up, meekly.

  Their leader turned her back and began to walk away, not saying another

word.

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

  "A mission?"Duo sounded bewildered.

  "Yes,"Quatre nodded.

  "It was sent from one of the doctors,"Trowa told all of them.

  They all stared at Trowa and Quatre.

  "We are to go to a base at San Mateo and stop a certain woman

from entering.  Kill if we must.  Then we destroy the base

and cover our appearances,"Quatre stated.

  "Gundams?"Wufei spoke up.

  "No, we are not to use our Gundams.  Only guns and explosive

devices,"Quatre answered.

  "When do we leave?"Heero asked.

  "In two days,"Trowa told him.

  They nodded in acceptance.

  "What about Usa?  We leave her here?"Duo spoke up.

  "She can take care of herself for awhile,"Wufei said.

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

~.~The Next Day~.~

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

  Usagi woke up and went down the stairs, she wanted to explore this

new territory of their's.  Her hair was now dry and her attitude was

quite cheery for once.  No bad dreams met her and there were no images

of a certain couple coming up inside her mind.

  "Morning!"Serena/Usagi cheerfully greeted.

  "Morning,"Quatre and Duo said.

  Trowa nodded and went back to eating, Wufei grunted and Heero 'hn'.

  Usagi grabbed a piece of toast and started back out of the kitchen.

  "I want to see San Francisco!  I'll be back in awhile,"Usagi told them

as she was going out the door.

  "Uhh..Usagi, maybe one of us should take you around.  You may get

lost,"Quatre protested.

  "It's still a bit dark, Usa,"Duo added in.

  "Okay, sure..."Usagi consented.

  "Oh yeah, your school won't be starting till next Monday.  It's Spring

Break right now.  You have four days to get ready,"Quatre told her.

  Usagi nodded and stared around the room.  Heero and Trowa were quietly

eating their breakfast right now.  Quatre was cooking and Duo was drinking

and wolfing down his meal.

  "So who wants to take me around the place?"

  Heero ate the last bit of sausage on his plate and got up.  He 'hn'ed

and Usagi shrugged, then followed.

  "He better not try anything,"Trowa mumbled but no one really heard him

clearly.

  Quatre stared at his friend for a moment, wondering what he just said

but shrugged.

  (Please be safe, Usagi.)Quatre said, flipping over a pancake.

  Duo glimpsed at Usagi's retreating figure trailing behind the trigger

happy pilot. He wasn't truly happy with this event but someone did have to

show Usa around.

  Wufei didn't really care.  He wanted to spar and practice with his trusty

kitana.  But a part of him, deep inside, wanted to be with that blond girl.

Of course, he didn't want to admit it.

  

  "So where are we going?"Usagi asked him.

  "Where do you want to go?"Heero said in monotone.

  "How about the beach?"Usagi suggested.

  He shrugged and went over to the garage. A black motorcycle was there next

to a black sports car.  Heero went over to the motorcycle and put on

a helmet and tossed one to Usagi.

  "Let's go,"Heero told her.

  Usagi put it on and climbed in back of Heero, grabbing him around the

waist.  He revved up the vehicle and then glimpsed in back of him.

  "Hang on,"Heero instructed in monotone.

  She did as she was told.  Then Heero rode the bike out of there and

down the street.

 

To be continued..

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

  There's Chapter 9 of Time Changes Everything!  Longer, like some

of you asked for!   

  Luckily I got this out.  My brother's gone for the time being, heheh!

The next one may take awhile still but who knows?
