Fate's Powder
Prolouge (revised)
Author: Jumping Jellybeans
Disclaimers: I have come to the depressing conclusion that I do not own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing.
Author's Notes: ATTENTION! This was going to be a joint fic with Silver Shadows, so bits and pieces of the Prolouge and Chapter One was her idea. Oh yeah, Hotaru is 13, Usagi and Rei are 14, Haruka and Michiru are 18, and all the G-boys are 15. Also, I am very new at this crossover thing, so please don't send me any FLAMES.

"Usagi, hurry up!" Rei yelled, as Usagi dragged her luggage out of her house, "We haven't got all day!"

"Rei-chan! Stop being so mean!" Usagi yelled back, putting her luggage in the trunk of the mini-van Haruka was driving.

Usagi, Rei, Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru were going on a week-long trip to a small resort west of Tokyo. Origanally, the rest of the Inner Senshi and Setsuna, were invited to come along to but they were all busy. Minako had two very important volleyball matches coming up and she needed to practice with her team, Makoto was a special guest for a cooking show, Ami needed to be at a chess tournament, and Setsuna needed to attend a fashion show.

"Usagi, you knew I wanted the back seat!!" Rei yelled, as Usagi scrambled into the back seat.

"Too bad, Rei-chan, you were too slow." Usagi stuck her tounge out at Rei and blew a raspberry.

"Rei you can have the back seat on the way back, right Usagi-chan?" Hotaru said softly.

"I guess so." Usagi said sullenly.

Up front...

"Remember, Haruka," Michiru looked meaningfully at Haruka from the passenger seat, "The highway is not a racetrack."

"Hai." Haruka grumbled.

Three hours later...

"Haruka-chan, what's our room number?" Usagi asked.

"We're rooms 215 and 216." Haruka answered, glancing at a sheet of paper in her hand as they dragged their suticases through the lobby.

Five minutes later...

"I like it." Usagi said, dropping her suitcase on the floor.

"Yeah, it's not half bad." Rei agreed, putting her suitcase down on the floor next to Usagi's, "Who wants the sofa bed in this room?" Rei asked.

"I do!" Usagi claimed it.

Rooms 215 and 216 were both suites (you know two rooms). Hotaru entered the second room and claimed the bed on the left. Rei was left with the bed on the right. Usagi unfolded the sofa bed and plopped down on top of it. she grabbed the remote and began flipping throught the channels.

"Hey, Rei!" Usagi yelled, as she found an interesting channel, "Here's some old mansion open to the public. And best of all, it's free. It used to belong to the widow who's will they found a month ago. She wanted it made open to the public. Pretty cool, huh?"

"That's nice, Usa-chan." Rei said as she came out of the other room in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, "Why don't you change before we go?"

Thirty minutes later...

Haruka parked in front of the mansion and everyone got out of the van. People were entering and exciting everywhere, since there were five different exits.

"All right, let's go!" Usagi disappeared into the building.

Everyone sweatdropped and entered the hotel-like mansion. They spread out and began searching for her.

Meanwhile...

Usagi had found a small, dusty room connected to the master bedroom. The room was filled with a silvery light coming from a small shimmering bottle sitting on one of the small tables. Curious, she picked up the bottle and pulled out the cork stopper, then she preceeded to dump out its contents onto her hand. Silver powder came out in a steady flow, filling the palm of her hand. Usagi gave the bottle a last tap and out fell a tightly rolled up sheet of paper. Unknown to Usagi, it was a spell that would activate the powder. Usagi unrolled the piece of paper with one hand and began to read it out loud.

Elsewhere...

"Any luck?" Michiru asked everyone as they met at the doorway.

"Let's check the second floor." Rei suggested, and they all headed up the flight of stairs.

"Look, there she is!" Hotaru shouted, pointing into the master bedroom where she could see part of one of Usagi's pigtails.

Everyone ran into the bedroom.

"Usagi, there you are!" Rei all but shouted.

Usagi had just finished the last word of the spell and she was so startled that she jumped a good five inches into the air. The powder flew up higher than her and fell down in a silvery rain. It landed on all five girls who stood blinking. There was a moment of silence before the powder was activated...
