~ Part 4: Good Luck and Good Bye ~

The Senshi, Moon Princess, Gundam pilots, Zechs and Trieze assembled on the calm battlefield. A few of the girls were sniffling and Gemini, who refused to let go of Wufei, had tears streaming down her face. Libra, Leo and Chibi Scorpio were off to a far side, as they had no one they were particularly attached to.

Duo was the first to speak. "Hey, uh, Aries?" he said shakily. "I thought you might want this." He handed her the spaghetti strainer she had when they had first met. She smiled sadly at him. "I'll miss you, Shinigami-chan," she said then kissed him softly and left to join Libra and company. For some reason, Leo and Libra had started an argument about ancient China...

"Miss Antares, I must say this: You are an incredible warrior. You are intelligent, strong and honorable. A rare combination in one so young, and it will bring you many victories. I wish you the best of luck. Here; take this as a reminder of your time here," Trieze handed her the sword she had used to duel him with. "In all honesty, I will miss your presence here in OZ." He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. Antares sauntered off to the others quietly, blushing a little.

"Heerooo! We'll miss you!" Virgo and Cancer cried in unison, grabbing either one of his arms.

"Well, Heero, I guess this is good bye,' Lima Bean said.

"If it means anything to you, you're a much better monarch than Queen Relena, and I'd rather have you ruling the world. At least you can talk intelligently and defend yourself," Heero said to her while prying his arms free.

"Thanks!" Lima wandered off pulling Virgo and Cancer behind her. "Come on you two."

"It's been really nice meeting both of you,' Quatre said with a smile. "If you ever feel the need to mess with time-space again, you're welcome here."

"I'll see if I can talk Antares into it," Taurus replied.

"Since we probably won't see you again, I demand a group hug," Aquarius said to her two companions. Taurus and Aquarius deprived Quatre's lungs of air for a little while, then left to join the growing group.

"C'mon, Capricorn, let's go join the rest of 'em," Sagittarius said, helping the Mongolian Senshi to her feet.

"Scorpio... I... um... sorry, I'm not good at this," Trowa stuttered. "I understand. You're a great guy, Tro. Tell your sister I said good bye," Scorpio answered. She hugged him tightly then left to join the group with Capricorn and Sagittarius.

"Pisces, do you think you're strong enough to make it over there by yourself?" Zechs asked Pisces, who instead of being carried, was leaning on his side. "Yeah, I'll make it," she said. "I'll miss you. Thanks for taking care of me."

"My pleasure. As the Gundam pilot said, you're welcome here anytime."

Somewhere, Colonel Lady Une screamed.

"Gemini..." Wufei started.

"Wufei, I don't want to go. I want to stay here with you!" Gemini said as she clutched Wufei's shirt. She buried her face in his neck and cried.

"Niu tu..." he said as he comforted her. "Wo ai ni, niu tu. I will always remember you. I hope you will remember me."

Gemini sniffled. "Ai shiteru," she sighed. Wufei lifted her tear-streaked face and kissed her slowly and passionately (5). "Go now," he said as they finally parted. "Before I refuse to let you go. Your friends are waiting." Gemini nodded and slowly walked to the others. Libra and Leo were still arguing about ancient China.

"Every one ready? Let's go!" Antares said. "Constellations, hear my call! Planets, answer me! Space and Time, heed my command! Take us to..."

"That's mythological ancient China!" Leo said to argue a point Libra had made earlier.

A bright light flashed again.

"LEO! GODDAMMIT! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Antares screamed.
