Chapter Two:

Serena's Dream

"Quatre!"

Quatre snapped his head up to see his sister marching down the royal gardens towards his friends, and him. He looked up at Shingnami and they both rolled their eyes, knowing very well what she was fuming about. "Yes, Serenity?"

"You have to tell mother that this arranged marriage is stupid!"

"Serenity, you know as well as I do that I have no say in the matter."

"Yes, you do, Quatre. Mother will at least listen to you."

Shingnami let go of a sigh and took her delicate hand, "Ren, sit down and tell us what's the real reason you don't like the idea of getting married to Endymion?"

Her crystal blue eyes looked up into caring and understanding cobalt eyes. She let go a heavy sigh as she sat down on the crystal bench, "Mars."

"I don't understand, Serenity," Quatre asked with confusion.

Serena looked up at him, and threw her hands in the air with frustration, "Because, she'll hate me for taking him away from her!"

"I'm sure she'll understand."

"No!" She stood up from the bench with hostility floating in her crystal blue eyes as she stared at her twin and his friend, "Here I thought, you'd understand, Quatre!"

"Ren . . ."

"Serenity . . ."

Serena found herself sitting at the royal dinning table and kept her eyes looking at the plate of food. Her mother looked at her daughter and felt her heart sink. Her silver eyes looked up at her son, "Prince Quatre, what's this I hear about an intruder?"

"Oh, that?" Quatre looked at his mother and smiled. Thank- Apollo that she knows what's going on. "Zeus and Hephaestus found him roaming the royal gardens, and took him to the dungeon."

"Did you get his name?"

"No."

Serenity looked up at her twin, and looked over at her mother. Her eyes looked at Quatre's dear friends and saw them hiding something. "Why didn't my scouts and myself hear about this `intruder'?"

"Because, your onnas couldn't handle the situation."

Her eyes turned from a crystal blue to a dark blue that made even the God of Death shudder in fear. Her cheery and warm voice turned to ice, "Oh, is that a fact, Prince of Mars?"

"Yes."

She stood up from her spot and glared at him with an unbearable expression, "Pig."

"Princess Serenity," Queen Serenity said, shocked to hear her daughter speak to the prince with such hatred and . . . ice.

Before anyone could say anything, Serenity left the dinning room, with angry tears strolling down her cheeks. Her footsteps stopped as she saw herself standing by the dungeon. She looked back to see if anyone followed her, and sighed in relief no one followed her. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly as she opened the doors that would lead her to the "intruder." She walked to the only stall they had, and noticed a lone figure sitting against the wall and his head bowed low. "Excuse me?" The young man looked up and grunted in response. He smirked at her next response, "You really have the nerve, you know it?"

"What do you want?" Came his cold and monotonous voice.

"I never," she gasped as she felt his cold yet warm hands grab a hold of her wrists. Wondering silently how he made it from the wall to grabbing her wrists without her seeing him. She pressed the issue aside and looked into pools of Prussian blue and locks of chocolate brown fell into his eyes.

"Been criticized before or asked a question so rudely?"

She let out another sigh and looked at him, "Actually, I had both of them happen to me." She looked at him and felt her heart skip a beat before it began to beat again at a regular pace, "I just came to see if you were alright."

"Very trustworthy, aren't you?"

"No, but it's not everyday the Moon gets . . ." she paused, then changed her voice to mock a man's, "as they called you, an intruder."

A small chuckle escaped his mouth at her weak and horrible impression of a man's voice, "Intruder? I'm glad to know that your people think every visitor is an intruder. It's just a good thing that I'm not someone of great value."

She closed her eyes and her body began to glow a soft golden light as she stepped inside of the gate. She opened her eyes to see him staring at her with wonder, "Never saw anyone walk through a solid mass before?"

"Hn."

She took a hold of his hand and led them both to the far back wall and sat down, "Then who are you?"

"What?"

"Well, you said that it's a good thing that you are not of great value, so who are you? A common folk?"

"No, I happen to be a prince."

"A prince?" She shook her head then smiled warmly at him, "My name is Princess Ren, Serenity's protector."

"Prince Heero."

She giggled and looked out towards the hall with a thoughtful look gracing her delicate features. If only he knew who I truly am . . .

Heero as he called himself just kept his Prussian eyes locked onto her. "Why are you down here?"

"Oh, one of the guards made me upset, thinking I couldn't handle capturing an intruder."

"And you came down here to see how hostile I am?"

"Yes."

"Strange onna . . . very strange."

Quatre's Dream

"Honey, please take Aphrodite."

Quatre looked at a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes lighter than his was looking at him with a distraught look. He stepped up to her and took the child in her arms, "Aphrodite giving you trouble?"

"No," she giggled and kissed him on the cheek, "the queen just called a meeting. VERY important, if you know what I mean?"

Quatre laughed at her and kissed her on the lips, "You know my mother, Venus." He looked at his wife with a worried look, "How do you think Serenity will take the news, and Mars handling the situation?"

Venus shrugged her shoulders and kissed her daughter on the forehead, "I don't know. Serenity will more then likely throw a fit, and as for Mars . . . I don't know." She kissed him one last time before she had to leave, "I'll see you later, Tiger."

Quatre felt his cheeks turning red as he watched his wife walk off with a taunting walk. You'll pay for that later, Venus. He then looked down at his daughter and smiled, "And how is my Aphrodite?"

A baby's giggle soon filled the empty halls as Quatre walked the other way towards the gardens. He stopped when he felt a presence, and grinned. He's back . . . Aries is back.

"Aires," Quatre said standing outside of the cell, "I think you should know something, before everyone actually finds out that you're alive."

"What?"

"That's my sister."

Aires looked at him with a confused look. "Whose your sister, and what are you talking about, Quatre?"

"The arrangement between the Moon and Earth . . ." he sighed, and brushed his hand through his sun-golden hair, "The Moon princess, is my sister, Aires."

"So, if this is one way to get my kingdom back, then so be it."

"But . . ." he let out a sigh and shook his head, "I just want her to be happy, Aires. Besides, I don't think this marriage will fall through."

Aires looked at him as Shingnami handed him his black and gold cape, "Why?"

"Because," the five men began to walk towards the banquet, "she wants to marry for love."

Aires shook his head and strapped his sword to his waist, "Women and their pettish thoughts."

End of Dream

"Sunshine . . ." came a sing-song voice that made the person cringe and groan.

Quatre took a hold of his pillows and covered his head, "Go away, Duo!"

"Come on Prince Charming, we have a mission."

"Then," burying his face deeper in the pillow as he tried to drown out the annoying voice, "go without me."

"But it's time for you to wake up. You've been asleep most of the day." Duo then chuckled at someone else, "Even the Perfect soldier slept in, Quatre."

Quatre sat up and glared at Duo, and his eyes happened to glance at the clock, "WHY didn't you wake me up?!" He kicked back the covers and walked over to the bathroom, "I've never slept in THIS late BEFORE!"

Duo took a step towards the door as he watched Quatre walk around his room franticly, "Well considering the circumstances, and what happened yesterday; we all slept in. Wufei never woke up until two if that helps. Heero just woke up thirty minutes ago, Trowa woke up around 1:30, and myself woke up at one."

Quatre shook his head and looked at Duo, "So when do we leave for the mission?"

"In thirty minutes, Sunshine!"

"I'll be down there in ten minutes." He waited for the door to close to start talking about yesterday's events. His blue eyes looked into the mirror as he was brushing his teeth, spitting out the toothpaste as he saw a sun and moon insignia on his forehead. He took a closer look at the symbols and noticed the moon was a crescent with it's tip pointing up and resting in the center of the sun, "What's going on?" He shook his head and noticed the symbol vanished, "And why did I sleep in so late? I've never slept clear through the morning and afternoon. It's already time for dinner, we have a mission, and then when we get back, it will be time for bed."

"What's got you all worked up?"

Quatre looked up to see Trowa watching him with emerald eyes that watched his every move as he spoke with frustration, "The fact that I've slept the whole day away, Trowa."

"It happens. Then again, you and Heero did take most of the attacks yesterday."

"Maybe . . ." He grabbed his dark blue jacket and walked down the stairs, "Let's go."

Heero looked up from his laptop and gave the group a nod, "Hn."

~~~~***

Luna, a black cat with a yellow crescent moon on her forehead sat on a dresser looking at the sleeping form of a teenage girl. "Serena?"

"Five more minutes, Mom."

Luna looked over at the clock and back at her princess, doing the only thing she knew best, she yelled, "SERENA!"

Serena quickly bolted up and looked at the room with confusion and sleep still in her eyes and talking frantically, "WHO . . . WHAT . . . WHEN . . . I'M AWAKE!"

Luna laughed and let out a sigh, "Serena, you're ten minutes behind schedule."

Serena looked down at her clock and noticed she slept right through her alarm, "Kuso. . .shimatta . . ." Cussing some more as she went about her room like a giant tornado to get ready for school. Quickly grabbing her book bag, she patted Luna gently on the head and left her room, "ByeMombyeDad!" Slam.

Ilene looked up from her breakfast and up at her husband, "She's ten minutes behind schedule."

"You know she did mention about having a test today, so she probably stayed up studying."

"Or she's just worn out."

Serena got to her seat with five seconds to spare before the tardy bell, and she was hoping that she would be able to breathe again. I never ran that fast before.

"Hi, Serena." Chimed three girls who sat next to her.

Serena waved at them as she continued to catch her breath. Mina smiled at her and noticed Serena was shining brightly today, "Not bad, Serena . . . you really should try out for the track team."

Serena laughed along with her other friends, Lita and Amy. "Thinking about it."

"Man, I hope that I don't have to re-take the test," Mina whined as Serena, Lita, Amy, and herself sat down by a tree. She took out her lunch, "Why does the teacher have to be so mean?"

"If you read the chapters," Amy said as she began to munch on a sandwich while reading a book.

Serena looked at her friends and smiled. She closed her eyes as she felt the warmth of the sun shine down upon her face, and an image popped into her head. A boy with hair similar to hers and eyes matching hers smiled at her. She quickly opened her eyes, blurted out, "Who is he?"

Lita looked at her then at their surroundings seeing no one; she looked at Mina and Amy shrugging her shoulders, and looked back at Serena with a raised eyebrow, "Serena, who are you talking about?"

Serena looked over to her friends, "I don't know. Last night I had this dream that I was in the Silver Millennium and since then, I get these images."

"What kind of images?" Mina asked with suspicion in her eyes along with hearts floating around in her blue orbs.

"People we should know." She glanced down at her watch and smiled at her friends, "Well, I guess we should get back, ne?"

~~~~~****

"What's the mission, Heero?"

Heero looked up at the vid-com and saw the pilot to Sand Rock, Quatre, and replied back in his cold voice, "To check out the Moon. The scientists think OZ is planning some attack or new bases."

"The moon, but why?"

"There happens to be some type of building that could do well for their base, and that's what we need to find."

"We know people didn't live on the moon."

"Perhaps."

Quatre turned his vid-com off to the pilots and kept flying towards their destination. This just doesn't make any sense.

It will, Son. Besides, there's something that belongs to you there.

Mother?

Hai, Son.

The other Gundam pilots all looked at Sandrock and wondered what the Arabian was up to. Heero noticed his Vid-com blacked out and an image of Helios greeted him, "Prince Aires." Heero glared at the screen and said nothing. His eyes watched Sandrock fly towards something on the moon that resembled a broken down palace. Helios chuckled and shook his head at his prince, but said nothing. He was amused to watch Heero. "Do you still believe that I'm a figment of your imagination, Prince Aires?"

Heero's cold Prussian eyes locked onto Helios' light blue eyes, "How do I know? Hell, last night I had a dream of seeing Trowa, Duo, Wufei, Quatre dressed in who knows what. My chest still hurts, and you just pop out of nowhere!" He never lost his cool or patience until now, what was happening to him?

Again, Helios chuckled at his prince, "What did you dream about?"

"You tell me, since you're the one who knows what in Aires is going on."

"So you are remembering." He left and Trowa's image appeared in the Vid-com screen.

"Heero, do you have any idea what Quatre is doing?"

Heero looked up and saw Sand Rock stop and a mobile doll creep up from behind Sand Rock, ready to take action. "He's going to . . ."

A white and bright light came forth out of nowhere and obliterate the mobile doll, "Nande kuso?"

"Whose the babe?" Duo asked as he stared at an image of a woman with long silver hair done up in a weird style and a white dress float in the air above Quatre's body.

Quatre smiled at her and walked toward the broken down palace, "Why does this feel so familiar?"

"Because this was once your home, the White Moon kingdom to be precise." She landed lightly on her feet and began to walk towards an old fountain that remained all these years, "your sister loved to come hear and think or just get away."

Quatre turned around to face her with a questioning look, "I don't seem to be rude, but how can this be? I mean this kingdom exist . . ."

"Because," Queen Serenity said as she stepped closer to her son, "I made it happen, Quatre. I also blocked your memories until now, however most of them will not return until your sister arrives." She walked over to the fountain, bent down, and picked up a golden chain, "I believe this belongs to you, Quatre."

Quatre cautiously took the chain and noticed a heart shape locket with the symbol of Venus and the sun engraved on the cover. He opened the locket and let out a gasp as he saw him on the right side of the locket and two children on the left. The girl looked like Aphrodite herself with eyes matching his, and a boy that looked exactly like himself. "Who," he looked up and saw his mother disappear, his eyes traveled back to the necklace, "would have a picture of me?"

"Wow! Did you see the babe vanish? What was that thing glowing on her forehead? Quatre has a lot of explaining to do about that chick!"

"Maxwell," came Wufei's impatient voice, "would you shut the hell up for once?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP MAXWELL! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR BAKA VOICE ANYMORE!"

Duo crossed his arms mocking a hurt expression at Wufei's harsh words, and then smiled, "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, jeesh!"

Trowa and Heero both shook their heads and smirked to themselves at Duo and Wufei. "Move out."
