Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah. I don't own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. *Glares at lawyers* Happy?

Claimer: I own this story and plot!

A/N: Sorry this came out so late!

-----------------

Quatre started by flipping his cards over. A pair of aces.

Heero flipped his cards over. Two pairs. Quatre groaned.

Minako grinned. She flipped her cards over. A whole hand of diamonds neatly arranged in order from ace to four.

Makoto grimaced. A pair of twos.

Duo grinned brightly. He flipped his cards over gleefully. A royal flush. Every jaw in the room dropped.

Minako silently gaped at Duo's hand to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. She wasn't. …A royal flush. She looked at her hand; a whole hand of red diamonds. Royal flush, red diamonds… hmm… she looked up to see the glaring faces of her two best friends.

Wait a minute… strike that comment. ANGRY glaring faces, looking toward Minako, ready to pounce.

"Minako!" Usagi's war cry echoed loudly in the room as some closed their eyes in slight pain of the high pitched wail.

Makoto was already chasing the red-bowed blonde, Usagi in tow. Run Minako run!

-----------------

Usagi grumpily threw the last of her belongings into her suitcase as she closed the lid. The constant bickering over in the next room was starting to give her a headache.

"Minako! The shirts too tight! And look at this skirt! Jeez! It's above my knees! And I already hate wearing dresses!" Makoto's angry complaint made it's way to Usagi's ears as she flopped onto her bed.

"Makoto!" Minako whined. Then her voice gained more confidence. "You see me already wearing this! You don't see ME complaining!"

"Duh!" Makoto dully commented as she shot another glare to her friend. "YOU'RE the one that got me and Usagi into this mess!"

Minako's size seemed to shrink as she gazed up toward the towering Makoto.

Usagi gave a sigh as she glanced over to her luggage. The maid uniform that they had to wear sat there, seeming to taunt her evilly. She growled as she got to her feet and put on the uniform.

-----------------

Five boys sat in only one of the many living rooms the billionaire Arabian owned. It was rather odd of them to allow Duo to have the three new temporary maids, because of their former… job. Mr. Trigger Happy joy boy over there had threatened the braided boy NEVER to enter his room, and now he had three more girls to take care of and break down. Heero mentally groaned at accepting the wager the girls had placed the other night.

The doorbell rang as Quatre rose from his comfortable seat to answer it. It wasn't really necessary because one of Magnuacs (sp?) had taken the liberty, unfortunate enough for him it seemed. The door had been blown off because of the constant yelling the two girls had in store for their petite red-bowed friend. But the minute they stepped inside the house, the bickering stopped as they examined the very large mansion, mesmerized by the sight. The unfortunate Magnuac that had opened the door left the room rather quickly to avoid getting another deafening wail. A maid had taken them to the room in which the boys sat.

The yelling previously heard had stopped as the boys looked at each other uncertainly. Four ladies entered the room, all wearing similar maid uniforms, but three of them wearing very tight, very umm… revealing versions of it. The maid working for Quatre right now looked downright unamused as she glared at the three girls. The girls didn't even bat an eyelash.

Now, the boys… well the boys were having… problems. All jaws from each of those five faces were dropped; Duo looking the most mesmerized at the sight. Time to drool… Quatre was turning as red as a cherry as Trowa tried to politely (A/N: *cough, cough* Right… *cough*NOT*cough*) turn away, but his eyes kept on wandering back to a specific spot. (A/N: *cough*LEGS*cough* Bad, bad Trowa! And you're supposed to be the quiet one!) Wufei was currently muttering weak onna, much to Makoto's dismay as she glared hatefully at him. And Heero… well… Heero was currently glaring at the oh-so-beautiful dull tapestry, gun in hand, fingering the safety latch.

The girls looked the boys, a bit confused at their movements, especially with Heero's gun. Then they remembered what they were wearing. Then, they also remembered who had gotten them into this mess. Two of the girls glared at the blonde. Quatre suddenly coughed, attracting the well-needed attention. His face was still a bit flushed as he smiled politely at the girls.

"Um… err… would you like to see your rooms?" He asked, momentarily blushing as he gazed at them again.

It was only then when the other boys noticed the suitcases in their hands, and a few more trailing behind them.

"You mean they're STAYING here?!!" Wufei burst out, his face getting red with anger. He glared at the other men. "Why didn't anyone tell me?!"

Trowa smirked as he responded, "Because you were drunk."

Wufei's pale face reddened slightly as he turned away from their gazes. Usagi's face blushed as she remembered the incident.

Duo finally took the opportunity to try be the gentleman of his stature. He grabbed the bags behind the girls as he grinned at them.

"C'mon ladies! I'll show you around!" Duo said as he grabbed more bags. Quatre grabbed the remaining luggage as the girls and Duo followed in tow. Duo was BEHIND the girls by the way…

Quatre stopped in front of the door labeled the Lavender Room. All shades of violet were shown, with touches of blue and pink. A dresser and closet were nearest to the door and Usagi and Minako shoved Makoto into the room. A queen-sized bed sat near the wall. The bags fell from her hands as she bent to pick them up. Duo's gaze wandered as Quatre flushed and turned away. Usagi and Minako giggled at the guy's antics.

Two more stops were made as Usagi occupied the Opal Room, and Minako occupied the Maple Room.

A thought crossed Makoto's mind as she snorted, 'Why are the rooms named?' She left the thought at that as she proceeded to unpack her belongings.

After packing, the three gossiping girls made their way downstairs. Quatre led them around the mansion, showing them a tour of the place. Duo finally caught up with them, and wrapping his arms around Usagi, he whispered something in her ear, making her turn red and start scolding him.

Minako grinned mischievously as she whispered to Makoto. "Yup… a match made in heaven."

Makoto groaned at Minako. They entered the function-dining hall, which turned out to be bigger than the area of a rather large house. It was currently being decorated as Quatre explained what was happening there tonight.

"A private function is taking place here tonight. You are welcome to come as guests or servants," Quatre explained as Minako and Makoto sweatdropped at their stature.

'Servants huh?' Makoto thought as she silently sent a mental glare at the Arabian blonde, now currently one of her employers. Then she sent another glare in Minako's direction.

"Um… maybe we'll just answer the door," Usagi offered weakly as she looked down at her clothing. She didn't want to intrude in on the meeting and get dressed up. And going as a servant in this get up would attract some unwanted attention. Quatre nodded as he looked down at his watch.

"Well, I have to get going. Duo… don't do anything stupid," Quatre warned, giving the braided pilot a final glare before he left the room.

"Me? Do anything stupid? I don't know what you're talking about," Duo said, sarcasm dripping heavily.

A snort was heard as Heero and Wufei headed in their direction.

"Really?" Wufei said as he sent a glare in his direction.

"You're the guy with the gun from yesterday," Makoto accused, her eyes narrowed.

"That I am," Heero replied boredly as he faced the glare sent his way. He shrugged it off easily as he turned and faced his friends.

"What?! I didn't do anything!" Duo said defensively as he slung an arm around Usagi again. The blonde turned red. She pushed him off.

"Yet," Heero added as he raised an eyebrow at Duo's antics.

"You know, if you really like her, just ask her out," Makoto said bluntly as she crossed her arms knowingly.

"Yeah, it sort of getting weird for us to see you guys just want to make out or something!" Minako exclaimed as Duo turned red.

"MINAKO!! MAKOTO!!" Usagi bellowed out at her friends as the two girl started laughing.

Suddenly Duo grinned. "Fine! Usagi, will you go out with me?"

Makoto's jaw dropped suddenly as Minako's eye's widened. They had expected him to ask, just not now!

Usagi grinned as she answered sweetly, "What if I say no?"

Duo's featured drooped a bit as he still looked hopefully at her. Minako gasped as she glomped her blonde friend.

"What do you mean by that?!" Minako all but yelled, attracting many of the decorating staff's attentions.

Usagi smiled slyly at her. An evil grin touched her lips as she smiled sweetly at Duo.

Duo groaned. "Aww… C'mon! I'll do anything!"

Usagi's grin widened. "Well, since you WERE the winner of the game yesterday… you are our main employer… um… could you cut my work-"

Makoto gasped as she realized what Usagi was doing. She quickly cut in, "No! You are not going to get your work cut out for you! You're working as much as we're going to!"

Minako's eyed widened again as figured out what Usagi was planning to do. "Hey! That's no fair!"

Usagi scowled. Giving into Duo's puppy face, her feature's brightened a bit as she finally gave Duo a genuine smile, "Yes."

--------------------

The evening's function arrived quicker than anticipated. The front door bell rang as Usagi ran to answer it. Well, these were the first people to come anyway. She straightened her appearance, but she knew that it wouldn't help much for the stares she would receive that night because of her uniform. She finally opened the door.

If these people were someone Usagi didn't know, she would have smiled warmly at them and ushered them inside the house, taking off their jackets and such. But Usagi DID know this people and these people also knew her. She all she could do was merely gape at the guests.

But when her pet named echoed in her ears, she meekly glanced up toward the visitors.

"KONEKO?!!!"

The one phrase wanting to come out of her mouth didn't come out. Instead it only echoed within her mind.

Finally, finding her voice she gazed into the sky blue eyes of her friend. "Hello Haruka."
