Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Unusual Circumstances ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

"The left thruster to your right is for take off." Setsuna explained. "The right thruster to your left is for landing. Try not to get the two confused and you'll do fine in the Gundams"

"Hey, Sets, I mean Trowa" Usagi grinned. They had all agreed not to use their real names but the names of the body they were in, so that way they wouldn't arouse suspicions. So, she was Heero. Haruka was Duo. Michiru was Quatre. Hotaru is Wufei and Setsuna is Trowa. And since, Setsuna didn't know when they'd be able to get home again, she thought that it would be best to give each of them a crash course in Gundam Piloting. 'Somehow, I don't think that this was such a good idea' she thought wearily.

"Hey, Trowa. What does this red button do?" Usagi asked. She couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated at all the blinking buttons in front of her. But one button had caught her eyes and that was the one she was asking Setsuna about. A red button that just beckon to her. As if on reflex, she reached out to push it.

"DON'T PUSH IT!!!!" Setsuna frantic voice called over the intercom. Usagi quickly jerked her hand away.

"Why not?"

"It's a self destruction button"

"Eeep!" Usagi tried to shoot as far away as she could. "Why do they have that?"

"As a precaution. Every Gundam has a destruction button. Just in case OZ ever managed to get their hands on one, the pilots can destroy it before it is used against the colonies. So please make sure not to press it!"

"Red button. No press" Hotaru voice piped up. "Got it."

"Good" Setsuna glanced at her controls. Was there anything she forgot to tell them?

"Hey, Trowa!" Haruka frowned. "What does it mean when my screen starts flashing?"

"It's probably a mission. What does it say?"

"Abandon OZ base near the moon. Needs to be destroyed."

"That's on my screen too!" Hotaru blinked.

"Than I guess that mission is just for Duo and Wufei" 'Thank god it's an abandon base' Setsuna thought. "Do you think you can do it?"

"Piece of cake, right, Wufei?"

"Yeah, Haruka-papa, I mean Duo. Let's go" Silently, the remaining scouts watched as the two gundams took off.

"Will they be alright?" Usagi asked worriedly as they flew out of view.

"I'm sure they'll be fine" Setsuna assured.

"Now, what are we suppose to do?" Michiru asked warily.

"The Peacecraft are throwing a surprise party for Relena. I'm sure the inners will be there."

"Than what are we waiting for?" Usagi eyes shined eager. Where there was a party, there was food! And man is she starving!

* * *

"And so I end this meeting with a favorite quote of mine. ' When the world turns it's back on you, you turn your back on the world!" Minako beamed a weak smiled at all the shock press before walking off. "Whew!" she wiped the sweat from her head. "That wasn't so bad!"

"Yeah right. That's why you were sweaty like a pig up there" Rei snorted.

"You try talking in front of hundreds of people and see how you feel" Minako playfully swiped at her with a towel.

"Miss. Peacecraft!"

"Relena, may I have a world?"

"Please, just one world, Princess!"

"Is it true that Zechs Merquise is your brother?"

"That's enough!" Noin interrupted the press. "Miss. Peacecraft is through with today's meeting, Good-bye!" She gently led Dorothy and Relena away from the mob. She wanted some peace and quite. Oh, and some answer would be nice too.

"All right. What's going on?" she frowned.

"What do you mean?" Relena asked innocently. Only Dorothy looked a triff nervous.

"Do you honestly want me to believed that ,in the course of one night, two of you have become best friends?" she tried not to sound uneasy. As Relena guardian, she had a duty to protect her from people like war-loven Dorothy, but the fact was, she was worried about the blond, too. They just didn't seem to be acting like their usual selves. And that stupid quote Relena had ended the meeting with! What was she thinking?

"Relena" she gently kneeled down. "you must tell me what's wrong. So I can help you" she blew her bangs back annoyed, before turning her attention to the Princess.

"What makes you think something's wrong?" Dorothy growled a bit. "Everything is just fine!'" Noin ignored her and looked at Relena.

"Nothing is wrong" Relena assured.

"Alright. I'll take your word for it" she quickly got up. "Now let's take you home before you're mobbed by the press again." She peep into the hallway to make sure it was clear.

"By the way" she asked as they walked down the hall. "What were you doing in Relena bedroom, anyway, Dorothy? I never got a straight answer before Relena had to go to the conference."

"Isn't it obvious?" Dorothy smirked as she placed her hand around Relena waist.

"We're lovers"

"What!"

"I was just joking" Dorothy rolled her eyes. "I was helping her pick an outfit, gees!" As they were arguing, none of them noticed the reporter who was busy scribbling in a note pad.

"Hey did you get the picture of them together?" he asked his companion.

"Sure did!" he held up a camera. "This is going to make a hell of a story! I can see the headlines now 'Peacecraft make peace with her girl lover!" both men burst out laughing.

* * *

"Maybe you should rest" Makoto frowned. "You've been at that computer for hours now"

"No. I'm fine" Ami waved the dish that was offered to her. "I'm trying to figure out what time period we're in and how we got here."

"And?"

"The year is 195 A.C. and as for the how we got here, I'm not sure of that yet."

"Oh" Makoto sighed as she sat back. Up ahead she could hear the flash of thunder as it rung out. "Ami, maybe you should turn it off, just in case the power goes out." She suggested.

"Alright" Ami rubbed the bridges of her noise. "I don't think I can find anything else anyway."

"That's too bad" Makoto sighed again. She quickly got up and head for the kitchen. "do you want something?"

"Do you have any milk?"

"Yeah" She quickly walked back with two glasses. "Now what?" she asked as she took a sip.

"Now, we wait and hoped that somehow we'll be returned to our rightful bodies" Ami sighed.

"Well, at least we should look on the good side" Makoto grinned.

"What's that?"

"We still have our hair color" she grinned as she touched her hair. "Who knows? We could have end up in someone body with a pink Mohawk!" Both girl burst out laughing.

"And I supposed we're lucky to be girls, also" Ami smiled. "I hope the others are as lucky"

"Do you think they're in other bodies?" Makoto eyes widen.

"It's just a theory, but yes"

"Well, then if that's true, then how are were going to find them? Geezs, how would we know if it's them, if they're in different bodies?"

"Well" Ami tapped her chin thoughtfully. "I recognized you even with you even in another body. So I guess we had a bond of some sort. I'm sure we'll recognized the others when we see them"

"I hope so. The sooner we find everyone, the faster we can find a way to get out of this." Makoto glanced up as another roll of thunder ran out. "it's kind of funny, though."

"What is?"

"I've always dreamed about joining the circus and look at where I am now" Ami laughed. Suddenly, the door of the trailer flung open.

"Hilde?"

"Yes?" Ami frowned she got up. She had recognized the name of the body she was in. "Is there something I can help you with?"

"Just turn around please" she did as she was told and was stun when she felt a pair of handcuffs being placed on her wrist.

"What's going on?" Makoto cried out.

"Hilde. You're under arrest for treason against the OZ organization."

"Ami!" Makoto ran out as Ami was being courted off. "Ami!"

* * *

Heero didn't blinked as he gently ran the brush through his long blond hair. The face that stared back at him didn't look like the happy, innocent kid that this Usagi girl was supposed to be. Her eyes were icy blue, now, with none of the warmth. No matter whose body he was in, he was still the perfect solider. He couldn't escape that.

"Errrr, Usagi?" All you alright?" Luna jumped onto the dresser.

"I'm fine, Luna" Heero remarked coldly. He had take the liberty to know everything about this Usagi, so that he could play a convincing role, until he find his body and change back. Her name is Usagi Tsukino, Age 15. She has a mother and father, Ken and Irene and a younger brother, Shingo. She has several close friends. Her best friend was a red head name , Naru. A Shinto priestess name Rei. A brainy girl name Ami. A good cook name Makoto and a girl who looks alike like her, Minako. Heero quickly tossed the diary on the bed. Reading it had given him some good information, but basically it was just what he thought it would be. A book on mindless chatter like shopping and how dumb school was. Quietly, he picked up a picture of a smiling dark hair man and grimaced in disgusted. In her dairy, she often talked about this, Mamo-chan. Apparently, she thought the world revolved around him. Poor deluded child.

"Luna? Don't you think Mamoru is too old for me?"

"Perhaps, but you love each other." Heero raised an eyebrow.

"Tell me something, Luna. Why would a college student be interested in a high school girl ?"

"I'm not sure. Usagi, what are you getting at?" Luna frowned a bit.

"He's only after her, my, virginity"

"What?" Heero didn't answer right way. Instead, he gripped the frame hard until the glass shattered.

"Usagi!" Luna cried out in alarm.

"I think. I think I'm going to dump him" He wiped his bloody hand on his pajamas before reaching for the school uniform he had to wear. Quietly, he left a stun Luna in the room as he went to change.

"Usagi-chan! What happened to you?" Luna tried not to shudder when she remembered how cold her charge's eyes were. And the way she spoke! The Usagi she knew would never say things like that about Mamoru!

"I wonder." Luna frowned as she spoke out loud. "Could her strange behavior have something to do with last nights battle?" She hadn't been there to witness the thing. All that she had learned came from the report Artemis had made to her.

"Artemis! That's it!" Artemis was at the battle. He'll know what happened. Then, maybe she will find a cure for Usagi new founded attitude. Hopefully, it was reversible.

"Now what?" Luna sighed when she heard some commotion down stairs. Quickly, she ran to investigate. The noises seemed to be coming from the, Kitchen!

"Irene, Wake up!" Mr. Tsukino tried to wake his fainted wife.

"I thought I'll never see this day" Shingo looked in awe. "Usagi left without eating breakfast!"

* * *

"Gosh!" Quatre blushed as he tried to tug his skirt down. "These uniform is, hum, kind of short"

"Yeah" Duo agreed.

"Why are you agreeing, Maxwell?" Wufei scowled. "You're the only one wearing a guy's uniform!"

"Oh, yeah" Duo smirked. He watched as his fellow pilot tried to lower the hem. They had all agreed to go do the things that their current bodies were involved in. That way, they wouldn't seem strange or out of character. And as far as they can tell, Trowa was the only one who was going to work. The rest of them were stuck in school. 'Lucky, Trowa' he thought.

"I'll see you, later" Trowa told them quietly. "you know where we're meeting?"

"The Arcade near here" Quatre smiled.

"Ja ne" Duo watched in amazement as Trowa walked with ease in the short purple skirt he wore and the high heels that came with it. It was scary!

"Now what?" He asked. He suddenly felt lost. There were only three of them left.

"Well, I have to go" Wufei announced. His purple eyes scanned the signs.

"Where are you going?"

"Duh, Maxwell. The body I'm in is younger than yours. I go to a different school" Wufei rolled his eyes. "Ja"

"And then there were two" Quatre beat him before he could said it himself. "Look on the bright side, Duo. At least we're in the same classes." Quatre frowned a bit. "I wonder where Heero is though."

"He'll show up" Duo waved a dismissal hand. "He always does"

"I guess" Quatre smiled wanly. Suddenly, they watched as a hoard of people scream out.

"Hey!" Duo pushed against the crowd. "What's going on?"

"MONSTER!" Soon the street was clear.

"Come on!" Quatre ran forward. He stopped short when a large nasty creature came out, running full speed towards him.

"Q!" Duo ram himself against the green hair girl and sent the both of them tumbling safely. "Are you Ok?"

"I'm fine!" Quatre rubbed his head. He reached down uncomfortably at something he was sitting on.

"A pen?" he stared at it confused. He had seen that pen before.

"Transform" A voice whispered. "You can defeat it" He could vaguely make out the silhouette of a woman with silver hair. "Transform" the whisper became urgent. Quickly, he shouted the first words that came into his head.

"NEPTUNE STAR POWER"

"Whoa!" Sailor Neptune glanced down in shock. "These skirt are even shorter than the other ones!" A growl brought his attention back to reality.

"Um" his mind went blank.

DEEP SUBMERGING

It worked the first time, so he thought he'd try it again. He called out the words that came into his mind.

"Dusted!" he cheered when the monster disintegrated.

"Unreal!" Duo gaped.

* * *

"I, am, not, possessed!" Dorothy screamed. She tried to tug off the chains that bind her. "LET ME GO!"

"Tsk. Tsk. " Grandpa stared at her with bright eyes. " Don't worry now, Rei. Grandpa going to get you back to normal."

"I am normal! You're the one whose got me locked up in chains! And who the hell is Rei? My name is Dorothy!"

"Ah, so my poor Rei is possessed by a demon name Dorothy!"

"Demon?" Dorothy sighed. She almost wished that she hadn't even woken up this morning. Cause everything is going wrong and strange. Besides! She wanted her war!

"Let me gomufff" she glared at the old guy when he placed a sticker on her mouth. Now, she couldn't even speak! 'Now what?' she thought when he dipped his hand into a bowl and sprinkled a bit of water on her.

"Hmmm, still won't come out? Even with Holy water? Must be a powerful demon." Dorothy sweat dropped and glanced at the guy, with the shaggy hair, for help.

"Err, grandpa? Maybe you're wrong. I'm sure Rei just got up on the wrong side of the bed" Chad looked at Rei's pleading eyes.

"She doesn't even know her own name" Grandpa glanced at him doubtfully. "I'm sure it's a demon.!"

"She's probably just a bit disoriented since she stay up so late with the holy fire, right Rei?" Dorothy nodded frantically. Grandpa sighed as he removed the sticker.

"Rei, how many times have I told you not to stay up late? It ruins your brain cells!"

"Hai, Grandpa" Dorothy mumbled as she played along.

"Good, now get dress for school!"

"Hai!"

"Here, I'll help" Chad helped her to her feet. "OUCH!"

"You will not!" Grandpa handed him a broom. "Now clean!"

"Hai, grandpa" he looked down weakly before he glanced up at Rei's retreating back. 'What's wrong with you, Rei' he wondered.

* * *

Relena tried not to look dejected as she felt.

"Ok, so it wasn't a dream" she mumbled as she walked to school.. She really was trapped in another girl's body.

"Hi, Minako!" Relena waved weakly to a group of girls that called to her. 'Well, at lease everyone seems to like Minako ok' She quickly blinked the tears back. She was sure that this Minako missed her parents wherever she is, because she sure missed everything about her home. Suddenly, Relena stopped in awe. Where she came from, there wasn't anything as beautiful as this…

"Cheery blossom" a voice called out.

"Huh?" she watched as a beautiful silver hair women walk up.

"It's a Cheery blossom tree or Sakura. That's what the tree is called."

'Oh" Relena glanced at it. "it's beautiful!"

"Isn't it?" the women smiled warmly.

"My name is R…Minako" Relena smiled back.

"You can call me, Usa" The women greeted. "Is something wrong?"

"Uh, no. Why would you ask that?" Relena fibbed.

"You just look a bit of trouble, that's all.

"Oh?" she laughed weakly. "I'm just kind of lost"

"If you're looking for the high school, it's that way!" Usa pointed in the other direction.

"Thanks!" Relena glanced at her curiously. "How did you know?"

"I'm sorry. I ready got to go. Ja" The women waved good-bye.

"Ja ne" Relena watched as she walked away.

"Oh and Miss. Peacecraft?"

"Hai?"

"Everything will be fine."

"Ja, Wait! How did you know my name?" Relena watched stun as she disappear around the corner.

"Who was she?" Relena looked confused. Suddenly, her eyes landed on a head of blond hair. Sort of shaped like meatballs.

"No" she whispered out loud. It couldn't be!

"Heeeero!" she quickly pushed her way through the crowd till she was face to face with a pair of eyes she would know anywhere, even if it was on a different body.

"Heero" Relena whispered. There was no mistaking the coldness there. Slowly, she walked up to him and reached out a shaking hand. "Heero?" she flinched when his hand grabbed hers in a hard grip.

"Princess" he greeted. His blue eyes still remained cold.

"Heero!" Relena couldn't believe her eyes. It was really him! She glomp onto him as tightly as she could, afraid that if she let go, then he would disappear and she'll be alone again. The perfect solider made no move to comfort her, but she didn't care. Just as long as he didn't push her away, she'd be content to just hold him. "Heero!'

Hilde tried not to throw up. She felt sick to her stomach and just walking made her vision blurred a bit.

"Are you alright?" Catherine asked worriedly.

"I'm fine" Hilde glanced up in front of them. "What's his name again?"

"Mamoru"

"Oh, yeah" Hilde stiffen a cough "And why are we following him?"

"We're going to see, Usagi, his girlfriend" Catherine smiled widely.

"And you know this, how?"

"This, Makoto diary" Catherine grinned. "It explains things I think you should know"

"Does it explain how we got here?" Hilde asked ironically.

"No, but it gives a description on all her closest friends." Catherine cleared her throat before speaking in a low tone.

"Mamoru Chiba, he's the college student that use to date Rei before he got together with Usa-chan. He's a total branic who likes to study, which get on Usagi nerves sometimes, but she loves him and it's all that matter. Honestly, I think Usa should find a better guy because I still can't forgive him for dumping her that time over a stupid dream"

"A dream?" Hilde frowned.

"Yeah" Catherine studied the book. "it doesn't say anymore detail on that"

"What else does it say?"

"Usagi Tsukino. At first she seems like a total ditz, but when you get to know her, you can't help but love her. She's the type of person you could either hate or love. She was really the first person to understand me, plus she's my best friend and my Princess. I'll die before I let anything happen to her"

"Princess?" Hilde coughed. "Do you think that it's a Shoujo ai thing?"

"No" Catherine smirked. "She mentions a lot about a guy name Ken. This whole book is practically about him!" Hilde laughed a bit.

"Something funny?" Mamoru looked confused.

"No, Nothing" Catherine grinned.

"Well, we're here" Mamoru quickly walked ahead.

"Irene! Wake up!" a loud shout called out frantically. Worriedly, the three of them suddenly opened the door to see Mr. Tsukino trying to wake his wife.

"What happened?" Mamoru glanced around warily.

"Usagi just left without eating breakfast" Shingo announced gleefully. He loved to watched the shock on everyone faces when he told them. And Mamoru face had to be the funniest yet. The collage student face turn pale, his eyes widen, and his mouth dropped opened.

"Hahahahaha" Shingo laughed as he pointed. "You look like a gapping fish!" Mamoru quickly closed is mouth.

"Where is she now?" he asked suspiciously.

"She went to school" he blinked when the three of them abruptly ran out of the hose.

"Man! Every one is acting weird today!"

* * *

Mamoru tried not to panic as he scanned the streets. Something had to be horrible wrong if Usako left without eating anything!

"So, what's the big deal?" Ami puffed behind him. Beside her, Makoto was busy reading a book.

"What?" Mamoru stopped and looked at her in disbelief. "Ami-chan, Usagi left without anything to eat!" he looked meanfully at her.

"So?" Ami looked blankly at him.

"Hey! I found it!" Makoto exclaimed. "Usagi eats like a pig, if there's any day that she doesn't eat, then something is definitely wrong"

"Makoto" Mamoru frowned. "Just what is it that you're reading?"

"Err, nothing" Makoto laughed weakly as she hid the book behind her back. The sounds of loud cheering unexpectedly rang out.

"What's that?" Ami frowned as they walked closer. "Oh!"

"I can't believe it!" Makoto rubbed her eyes. "Heero and Relena? Together?"

"Heero and Relena?" Mamoru frowned. He didn't know what the two of them were seeing, but what he was his girlfriend locked in a passionate embrace, with Minako!

"Usagi!" she glanced up coldly and looked at him in the eyes. Mamoru tried not to look away and shudder at the frostiness in them. Suddenly, almost deliberately, she returned Minako hug, but her gaze remained on his face, as if judging his reaction. But all he could do was stare.

"It's over" she mouthed to him. Those two little words cut straight to his heart. Then, she whirled and marched away with a hopeful Minako tailing her.

"Hey wait!" Ami cried out. She and Makoto quickly rushed forward leaving him alone.

"Usako" he whispered, stun. Suddenly, a flash of purple caught his eye. Setsuna! She should know what was going on.

"Setsuna!" But the guardian didn't hear him, or she was ignoring him. Soon, he lost sight of her when she turned a corner.

"I hate to admit" a voice hissed out. Silently, he glanced down at a worried Luna and Artemis.

"It's just the three of us now" Luna remarked. "Just the three of us"
