Two Hearts Beating As One

Two Hearts Beating As One

Prologue: Memories Within Dreams

Note: Gundam and Sailor Moon don't belong to me… unfortunately.

I know I should finish my songfics first, but I couldn't help it! I just got this great idea for a fic! ^_^

Dedicated to all my friends! Enjoy the fic!!!

            Delicate features, framed by golden locks. Sparkling crystal blue eyes accenting smooth white skin. Her voice, like soft bells chiming in the wind lingered in the air, as did the familiar scent of lilies. The girl, no more than 11, beckoned to him. A cheerful smile lit her face.

            "Come play with me!" she begged. "It's no fun to play by myself! And everyone else is too busy!" He felt himself grin and nod.

            She laughed, delighted to have a playmate and pulled him out to the garden. "We'll always be together, right?" she turned to him as they lay on the soft grass.

            "Don't worry, I promise! We'll always be together," he vowed.

            He ran down the halls, eager to see her once more. It had been so long since he'd last seen her. He was sure she'd be ecstatic to see him once more. He skidded to a halt, seeing his father's grim expression as he approached. "I have some bad news," his father began. The boy fidgeted, concern written all over his face. "She's gone."

            At those two words, he felt his world crash down. His father didn't have to tell him who "she" was. He already knew.

            "No," he whispered, shaking his head in denial. "How? Why?" he asked over and over.

            "Apparently, she was playing in the garden unsupervised. She was kidnapped," the older man continued. He glanced at the boy next to him. "Are you alright?"

            "Am… I alright?" the boy repeated dully. "Do you think I'm ALRIGHT?" he yelled, anger taking over shock. "I'll never be alright again!" With those words, he ran, he didn't care where to. He had to find her! He had to…

            He gasped, jolting awake from the dreams that haunted him. He had drifted apart from his father from that day on. He knew he must find her. He was never the same since she disappeared. He hid his feelings, his real feelings at least, under a mask of gentleness. On the outside, he was calm and rational, the peacemaker, but on the inside, feelings boiled in turmoil, waiting to be released.

            He knew he had to find her. He just had to. "Will I ever see you again?" he whispered to the emptiness of the night. He sighed upon receiving no answer. But not now.

Now, he had to sleep. He had a mission to complete, peace to be gained. Afterwards, he would be able to search for her, the missing peace in his life. But for now, sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, for Doctor J told them about a new pilot they would be meeting tomorrow. And so he closed his eyes, and was claimed by sleep.

            Calm blue eyes were hidden behind wild platinum blonde hair. A happy grin on his lips, he turned as she called out to him. She was pleased that he'd accepted her invitation to play with her. She knew he couldn't deny her anything. They lay on the grass in the garden.

She looked up at him. "We'll always be together, right?"

"Don't worry, I promise!" his soft gentle voice told her. "We'll always be together."

She struggled wildly. Who were these men who were trying to take her from her home? She couldn't leave! He was coming home today! Home from the exclusive boys' school he had been accepted in. How dare they try to ruin the first chance she had to see him in moths! 

"Let me go!!!" she yelled at them. The man holding her merely smirked and lifted his hand. Then, all she saw was darkness.

*****

"Wake up girl," a voice called, tearing her away from the comforting dark. She sat up, rubbing her head.

"Where am I?" she was quick to ask. "And who wre you?" she faced an old, strange looking old man.

"My name is Dr. J. we have chosen you to become a spy for us," the old man told her.

"I don't have to do what you tell me! I'm…" She was cut off by the rude doctor.

"You obviously don't know what happened girl. Those men who were trying to kidnap you was from Oz. You were lucky that we were able to save you! Look at what happened to your home!" Dr. J then pressed a button on a remote control and a screen popped up. It showed scenes of destruction… the destruction of her home.

The small girl shook her head in denial. "No…" she whispered. "Could he be… no! He couldn't be dead! Neither can the others!" Crystal tears formed in the eyes, blurring her vision.

"I'm afraid so girl. Now, don't you want to avenge them? If you work for us, you will be able to get revenge. Well?"

"I…I accept," the girl's voice trembled slightly, but then became stronger. "For revenge."

She woke, sweating. Why were these dreams coming back to her now? She thought she'd buried them in the back of her mind but now… she sighed, and pushed her hair away from her forehead. She closed her eyes, remembering happier days. She had been so innocent then… but now… she had blood on her hands, and she could never change that. If he were alive, would he still love her, accept her as he did back then? No, she shouldn't think of such things. He was dead. She had seen her home explode herself.

She lay back down on her bed. Her status had risen from a mere spy to a gundam pilot. And tomorrow, she would be able to meet the better known pilots. She, with their help, would be able to get revenge… so, she shut her eyes and slept.

Quatre ran towards the hanger where they would be meeting the new pilot. He was late! Of all the days to wake up late! He cursed him self inwardly as he ran faster. Finally, he reached his destination and spotted the others  crowded around Dr. J and another person. He approached, gasping for air. This caught the attention of the others and they turned to look at him.

"Sorry, I'm late… my alarm clock was broken," he gasped. "I…"

"Quatre?" a familiar voice asked. It sounded of soft bells chiming in the wind. The subtle scent of lilies hung in the air. His eyes widened. Could it be?

He looked up. Cerulean blue clashed with sky blue.

"U… Usagi?" Quatre managed to whisper.

Note: Cliff hanger!!! ^_^ Ain't I evil? How do Quatre and Usagi know each other? Find out in chapter 1! Tell me if I should continue or not! ^_~
