Up where we belong
A/N. My first Gundam Wing / Sailor Moon-crossover. The characters belong to their respective creators. I own as usual nothing. I watched the whole SM-series, but didn't watch Gundam Wing. Please forgive any mistakes I make on behalf of the Gundam boys or take it as a result of my little warped mind grin
English is not my native language. Please, no flames for mistakes!
However I´d love to see many, many reviews hint hint
Haruka and Michiru are a couple in this story. If you don't like it, blame Naoko Takeuchi. She made this decision and I just go along with it. If it consoles your mind Haruka being Senshi of Uranus is both male and female (I will also make this part of my story). Watch out for the SM manga if you don't know what I mean.
Duo and Hotaru are probably going to be a couple. As for whom to be with Usagi...I'm not sure whether it should be Hiiro or Trowa. Your votes would help a lot. You can also vote for another guy, but these two are my favourites and it's highly probable that I choose one of them.

Chapter 1 - Always expect the unexpected
*SM Dimension, Tokyo year 1997*
Haruka was busy filling out some important papers for her next race on Sunday when suddenly the phone ringed. Michiru sitting on a chair in the living room, book in a hand, looked up surprised. They weren't expecting anyone to call them, considering no one knew this number. Hotaru and Setsuna were still out in the mall buying some new clothes for the girl. Hotaru had grown a lot these past few days and was now back to her 16 years old age. It was only normal that her clothes wouldn't fit anymore.
The phone ringed again. Michiru looked at Haruka, silently asking her who should answer to it. Haruka nodded slightly and got up from her desk. Taking a deep breath she answered the call.
"Moshi, moshi...Tenoh residence. How may I help you?"
"Onee-sama?", a silvery voice asked from the other side of the phone-line.
Haruka smiled.
"Oh, it's you chibi."
How stupid of her to forget that she gave this number to her sister. She frowned a bit. She sounded upset. She wondered what was wrong with her.
"What's up? You sound upset. Did something happen? Did they yell at you again?"
Haruka silently vowed to kick the others asses once she faced them again. When her sister spoke again, she realised this may be sooner than she thought.
"Rei called a meeting for the Inners.", the silvery voice said, " she didn't even mention you. They are going to do it today, onee-sama. You've seen the future like me. They didn't use their chance not to make the same mistake twice. I think we're not needed here anymore. We can finally go home."
When the girl said "home", Haruka could here the longing in her voice. She sighed and smiled. She knew how much her imouto missed it. Home...
"I'm supposed to be there in half an hour. I think it's time to show them the real me. The traitors will have to learn how it is to be betrayed."
Her voice held no anger, only a deep sadness. Haruka had hoped the other senshi would change their attitude and look past the facade of her sister, but it was a lost battle. Pluto had said that the future couldn't always be changed. But the Outers and her sister had so hoped, that Setsuna was wrong for this time. Too late.
She looked at Michiru who had listened to their conversion up till now. Michiru nodded.
"Listen, chibi! Michiru and I will come by your house and then we'll face them together. We'll be there in...", she looked at the watch, "ten to fifteen minutes. I'm sure Setsuna already knows and will join us there with Hotaru-chan.
"Ok, onee-sama. Luv´ you!"
Haruka could hear the tiny smile in here voice. Her own lips twitched upwards in a similar smile. They may have lost this fight, but it didn't mean they lost hope in the future.
"See you in ten minutes, chibi."

Hikawa shrine about 25 minutes later
Rei and the other Inners were sitting around a table discussing what they would tell their so called leader once she arrived. The door opened and Mamoru entered the room. He smiled politely, then walked up to Rei and kissed her passionately.
Ami, Minako and Makoto didn't seem to mind that he was supposed to kiss only Usagi. They greeted him with a smile. Makoto offered some cookies to him.
Mamoru looked at them.
"I see she hasn't arrived yet. Should have known it. She's always late!"
Rei snorted.
"That immature ditz. What did you expect? She hasn't been on time for the last ten meetings."
Makoto nodded.
"It's a shame. She's the Tsuki no Hime, but instead of acting like one she prefers to wail like an infant, eating like a dog and getting starry eyed at every cute boy she sees."
"She's such a failure!", Minako said. "She forgets her responsibilities. We always have to save her in a Youma battle."
"She never does her homework though she knows she's failing her classes.", Ami added quietly.
"I really wonder how she could have been the Tsuki no Hime. I would make a better princess than her.", Rei said hotly. Mamoru kissed her again agreeing with her.
"We already have talked about this problem", she continued, "it's time we finally react. Time to order her to..."
Rei was interrupted by the door sliding open again. She wanted to yell at Usagi for being late again, but when she looked at her, her mouth fell open in silent shock. Shooting a glance at the others, she saw they reacted the same.
Usagi was standing silently in the doorway. Haruka and Michiru to her left, Hotaru and Setsuna to her right. Minako noticed that Hotaru looked older than usual like she was before the fight against Pharaoh 90. They all looked serious, but that wasn't what shocked them. The Outers had made surprise visits on several occasions. It was nothing new. No! The sight that greeted them when they looked at their leader was shocking to no end.
Usagi´s usually golden hair had turned a shade of silvery white. It wasn't up in its odango style, but fell in soft waves past her knees, only hold slightly together by a deep blue ribbon. Her crystal blue eyes once sparkling with innocence and naiveté had turned a darker colour. If you looked close they were the same shade as Haruka´s. They held an impossible amount of wisdom, power, but also sadness and a deep longing they couldn't explain. Her eyes were fixed on them with their mouths open. They held no anger. Her body seemed to have grown a few inches, but she was still very small.
Rei couldn't believe it, but her ditzy, immature leader looked like a goddess. She gasped.
Usagi and the Outers smiled at their reaction. Hotaru grinned.
"See! I told you that they would react like that, Sere."
Usagi´s eyes twinkled in mirth. Her eyes fell on Rei.
"You wanted to say, Rei-chan?", she asked sweetly.
Rei and the others gulped.
"Um, Usagi. You're here. Um, we wanted to start the moment you came. Oh, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru. How wonderful to see you!"
Usagi´s smile grew wider if that was even possible and Hotaru lay on the floor laughing.
"What's so funny, Usako?", Mamoru dared to ask irritated.
Usagi and her companions became serious.
"First of all...", Usagi looked at Rei, "That wasn't what you wanted to say. Second...", she looked at all, "don't call me Usagi for it's not my name and never was. Last but not least...", she pinned Mamoru with a glare worth ten basilisks and he paled visibly, "You have no right to call me Usako. I'm not as stupid as you think I am."
Rei sneered.
"Sure! That's why you never realised..."
"....that you think I'm a klutz, immature, stupid, naiv and that you're fucking with Mamoru behind my back? That you wanted to dump me today so that Rei would become the new leader?", Usagi stated calmly.
Minako and Makoto gasped. Ami simply looked shocked to no end and Rei and Mamoru were ready to faint. Haruka smirked.
"Always straight to the point, chibi."
Usagi smiled.
"You and Michiru taught me, onee-sama."
"Ooo...onee-sama?", Ami asked confused.
"Of course!", Hotaru stated. "If you wouldn't judge a person by their appearance and behaviour in front of others, but instead tried to look behind the facade, you would have realised sooner that they were siblings. And you also would have realised that Usagi only put up an act in order to fool the enemy."
"But, how... Haruka and Usagi? I don't understand that...", they stuttered.
Haruka sighed.
"Setsuna, could you explain it to them?"
Setsuna nodded.
"Our tale starts back in the Silver Millennium when the planets still were ruled by your former parents. If you remember correctly, there was always a King and a Queen to each planet. The only exceptions were Uranus and the Moon. Uranus was ruled by King Uranos, the man you know as Haruka´s father. The Moon and the Silver Alliance was ruled by Queen Serenity, Serenity-hime´s mother. What no one but the regents of the outer planets knew, was that King Uranos and Queen Serenity were a couple. Both held a power that surpassed that of most other planets, especially the Inners. There would have risen problems if King Uranos and Queen Serenity would have married, so their love stayed a secret only known by King Hades of Pluto, King Kronos of Saturn and King Poseidon of Neptune."
"Wait a minute...didn't you teach us that Queen Serenity could only give birth to one child?", Ami interrupted.
Setsuna glared at her and the blue-haired girl shrank back in fear.
"I would have come to that, if you hadn't interrupted me. Well, it was said that there could be only one heir to the Moon, not that she could only have one child. Understand? One heir! King Uranos ruled Uranus, so there was also the chance for a heir to Uranus to be born.
Haruka was born first. She held powers of both, Uranus and the Moon, but the planet Uranus chose her to be her guardian. She became Uranus´ heir with the future of an Outer Senshi and protector of the Tsuki no Hime who hadn't been born yet. She would also become one of Cosmos´ guardians. Cosmos the legendary ruler and protector of the whole Universe. King Kronos presented Haruka to the other planetary Kings and Queens but never mentioned who the mother of the child was.
Two years later, Queen Serenity became pregnant for the second time. This time she gave birth to Serenity-hime. The child held powers of the Moon and Uranus and to the shock of her parents the powers to the Cosmos. The Moon recognised the child as its Guardian and so she became the Tsuki no Hime. This time while announcing the birth they left out the fact who her father was.
Serenity-hime grew up with the princesses of the outer planets up to her tenth year. She learned different martial-arts, sports and the use of various weaponry including archery, kento and fencing together with her older sister. She learned the art of music, poetry and dance together with the princess of Neptune, Michiru. Hotaru, heir to the planet Saturn taught her how to control her vast powers and the new Senshi of Time, Pluto or also known as Setsuna-hime taught her various techniques to unfog the future and retell the past.
When Serenity reached her tenth year, she had to go back to the Moon in order to be prepared for her birthright as future Queen of the Moon and wielder of the Guizinshou. No one knew of her immense powers she possessed as a child of both, Uranus and the Moon and Guardian of Cosmos. Her parents expected her to act as an innocent child, sweet and carefree. Nobody should know yet what she really was capable of. Her Guardians and sister didn't like to be separated from her, but they knew it was important for the future.
Back on the Moon Serenity finally met her inner guardians, the princesses of the inner planets Mars, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. They took their duty as protectors to the heir very serious, but that didn't mean they respected her like they were supposed to.
When Serenity was engaged to Endymion, she asked her sister and friends to come to the Moon. She knew that Endymion had an affair with the princess of Mars, Rei-hime, and that her inner guardians knew about that. She also knew that they didn't trust her. The inner princesses thought that Serenity wasn't powerful or smart enough to control the immense powers of the Guizinshou. Their plan was that once she was married to the Prince of Earth they would find a way to get rid of her and find someone else to be the keeper of the Guizinshou. They didn't know that Serenity-hime herself was part of the crystal and no one but her or her mother could use it. Not even Haruka who was part lunarian could use it. Their plan, secretly known to the princess, never came to action because Metallia attacked them before Endymion and Serenity could marry. Not wanting to loose their precious throne the Inners and Endymion decided to help fighting against Metallia and her minion Queen Beryl, but they died during the battle. Haruka and the Outers were on their way to meet the Tsuki no Hime, but came too late.
Sailor Uranus full of grief over the loss of her little sister and the planned betrayal of the inner senshi decided to join her sister in death in order to be reborn with her in the future. Sailor Neptune being Uranus´ soulmate also killed herself. As a last option Sailor Saturn called upon her Silence Glaive and destroyed Metallia and the Silver Millennium.
All except me, for I had to remain at the Gates of Time, were reborn in a far future."
Setsuna stopped. All the Inners were shocked, Mamoru was very pale. Usagi and the Outers simply looked sad.
"You knew all long?", Minako asked, "You knew we would betray you in the past and now in the future? Why didn't you interfere sooner, Usagi?"
Usagi smiled sadly.
"Don't call me Usagi. My real name is Yue Serenity Tenoh. I'm still Haruka´s little sister. As for why I acted like I did...let me just say. I tried to have faith in you. The Outers and I, we knew you would betray us again for we know the Future. Being Cosmos or her Guardians brings some abilities with it including that we know the future. But the future is not set in stone. It can change from one second to another. That's why we decided to give it a try and trust you. It was all for nothing."
Ami, Makoto and Minako lowered their heads in shame. Rei and Mamoru glowered at them.
"And? What are you doing now, ditz? Punishing us?", Mamoru smirked evilly.
Suddenly his face connected with a fist and he was thrown out of his chair. Haruka hovered dangerously above him.
"Never ever call my koneko ditz again, understood!", she snarled. "She's smarter than Ami and Michiru put together."
Michiru nodded with flashing eyes. Hotaru and Setsuna glared at them.
"Sure that's why she failed all her classes.", he sneered. Haruka raised her fist again.
"I didn't fail them.", Serenity (from now on I'm calling her Yue or Serenity) grinned." To be honest I passed all classes with more points than Ami. Ask Haruna-sensei. She knows that I was only acting. Truth to be told, I even took some courses in higher classes. That explains all my detentions. And when you thought Luna tried to get me to do my homework, I was with onee-sama and the others training or racing or just talking. It was all an act to fool the enemy and you."
Haruka walked back to her sister and placed an arm around her shoulder. She smiled grimly.
"As to what we do now. We're going back home since you won't need us anymore."
"Home? But, don't you live here?", Makoto asked dumbfounded.
"Being Cosmos´ ruler means that I can choose where I want to live. The Tsuki no Hime may have supposed to stay here, but I'm also Cosmos and I´ll go where I really belong.
Haruka, Michiru and I were originally born in another dimension known as the Gundam Universe. Our father is leader to colony L6 and head of Tenoh corporations, a very important and influential person. Michiru´s father is his best friend. There was a threat to my and Haruka´s life several years ago. Our father decided to send us somewhere safe until the main threat was over. Setsuna chose this dimension because she knew you'd be here and Sailor Moon as well as the Outers were needed. I was taken under the care of the Tsukino family, while Haruka and Michiru lived alone.
Now that there are no enemies left in this world and it's also relatively safe back home, we're going back leaving you with the knowledge that nothing ever is as it seems. Always expect the unexpected. For you that means that the traitors got betrayed in the end."
With those last words their former leader and the Outers disappeared in a flash of light. They wouldn't hear from them again.
End chapter 1
A/N: I wrote that back in the Silver Millennium Haruka was two years older. If you look to the head of this text I wrote Haruka to be 18 years and Yue Serenity to be 17 years old. Let's just say that Haruka is nearly 19 and Usagi´s birthday was only a few days ago, so they are still 18 and 17, but with nearly two years age difference.
Next chapter Serenity and the Outers will meet the Gundam Boys. Everyone swoons over the new band "Taliesin", but no one has ever seen their faces. Serenity impresses the Gundam Boys and Relena decides that she doesn't like her (as usual!).
