Disclaimer: I do not claim Sailor moon or Gundam Wing I'm only a mere fan of both!

Akina's Notes: At the moment I have no idea where this story will go. I just came up with an idea. I don't know the pairings, but I'm going to come up with those on my own. I will consider suggestions though. I refuse to do a Usagi/Heero fic, though. Please review so I can get an idea of what everyone thinks and get an idea of how well I write. This is my first fic. Though so, don't get to mad! Sorry about the slight Usagi bashing in the beginning, the whole fic won't be like this. Also, I don't know if Japanese really write term papers so sorry if the culture is just a bit off. I only know so much! This is long so I'll stop now, unless I need to explain something I probably will not write such a long A.N. again. I'll let you get to reading now.



The Tears of Hope

Usagi stared in shock at the normally even-tempered, quite blue haired girl now chasing her and screaming "Usagi-chan I'm going to kill you!" After all Usagi had only accidentally knocked the nice neat stack of papers. "Those were my term papers in page order and in class hour order! Organizing them alone only took me a little over three hours!"

"I'm really sorry Ami-chan! I'll help you get them back in order! EEP!" Usagi yelped as she ran away from her red-faced friend ducking the various items thrown at her.

"Oh no! You already helped enough!"

"Wow, Usagi-chan what did you do to make Aim-chan so mad, I've never seen her like this." Asked a Minako who was now entering.

Rei was the one who answered. "Oh, she just knocked over a stack of papers that Ami-chan had been working on for over three hours." Rei snickered as Ami finally hit her target in the back of the head with a notebook. "This is actually pretty funny to watch."

Ami had stopped chasing Usagi and came over to where the two girls were talking. A tearful Usagi followed her. Rei had called the all the inner-senshi to the temple for a meeting. She had explained little, but it was clear the violet-eyed priestess had sensed something that worried her.

"Who are we waiting on?" asked Ami.

"Just Mako-chan. It seems. I thought I was late, but she's even later then I am!" said a jubilant Minako.

"Um, Minako-chan, I told you and Usagi-chan to come early since both of you are always late," Rei explained with a sheepish smile.

"Oh" was the only reply Minako could muster.

"Hey!" cried an offended Usagi. "I'm not always late. Besides if you told us to come an hour early the Mako-chan is late! Almost ten minutes too!" Right on cue Makoto entered the room with a gigantic basket.

"Sorry, I'm so late. I had trouble finding a basket big enough for all the cookies I baked. I made extra so we'll all get some." At the last remark every eye glared at Usagi.

"Sheesh! What is this Usagi bashing day anyway? I feel so appreciated!" Usagi whined, becoming over dramatic as she gave the group big, sad, puppy eyes. Everyone sweat dropped excluding Usagi.

There was a soft knock at the door. It slid open directly after, exposing Setsuna. Her maroon eyes held a worried expression. "I need you all to come to the time gate there's about to be some trouble and I'll need you and the outers' help. The outers are already there. We must go quickly, more will be explained when we arrive." She then turned, her olive hair flipping about behind her.

The five girls quickly followed her orders and followed Setsuna into the portal she had created that lead to the time gate. The giant basket and scattered papers the only sign the girls had ever been there. (an hehe foreshadowing here no?)

At the time gate the girls were now all dressed in their fukus and they saw the outer senshi and Tuxedo Kamen, already transformed, there too. All nine senshi looked at Sailor Pluto questioningly.

"All right, I'll explain a bit now so will you all quit looking at me like that? Please?" Sailor Pluto waited until everyone had stopped giving the, 'why am I here' glare the continued with her story. "I came across something that troubled me when I was searching through the timelines to make sure everything was in order. I couldn't see any farther then today. That means either someone is somehow blocking my view of everything or someone is coming to destroy the Time Gate!"

With this conclusion everyone took in a deep gasp.

"D-d-destroy the Time Gate? You think someone would do that?" a very shaken up Sailor Saturn asked.

"What would happen if it was destroyed?!" shrieked a disturbed Rei.

"Well, if some one had a big enough grudge against us of even just me yes, I think destroying the Time Gate would be very possible. If it was destroyed then anyone in this area would be dropped in a random time and anyone who had any idea how to get here, which our enemies must, then nothing would be able to stop them from going anywhere to do anything. "

"That's so horrible! What do you want us to do about it?" asked Sailor Venus. Taking on a serious form compared to her normally happy-go- lucky self.

"Well, I was hoping that you would all help prevent this and help me to find out who was doing this." Concluded Sailor Pluto. She was pleased to get an enthusiastic yes from everyone.

Suddenly there was a menacing but soft chuckle from behind the group. All turned to see a silhouette of a female figure with long hair shrouded in the mists of time. "This has been very touching, this group meeting. But, I believe you are too late. My warriors and I are already here."

With those dreadful words said there was a brilliant flash of light and everyone blanked out……..
