Gundam Moon Chapter 1

Duo looked up when the door to his room was flung open. "Duo, are you ok?" The other five pilots made their way into the room.

Duo nodded, not realizing that he had been sweating until he felt Heero press a cold clothe against his forehead and wiped the sweat away. "Thank you Heero."

"Did you have a nightmare Duo?" Quatre asked.

"Yeah, a bad nightmare, but I don't remember most of it."

"You shouted my name in a panic Duo." Heero told him.

Duo blushed. He remembered it a bit better than he had said, eight females were close enough to be best of friends and a prince with Heero's name… he felt warm at the idea that Heero was actually worried about him.

Quatre looked at the clock, "Well Duo; we might as well get ready for work. Get up and meet us downstairs."

"Yes Quatre." Duo nodded. After they left, he climbed out of bed and found that He hair hadn't grown longer, much to his relief. He entered his bathroom to freshen up. Ten minutes later he was down the stairs and having a healthy breakfast with the other pilots.

They didn't live very far from the Preventer office they worked at, at the moment, but getting up early was a habit that they didn't mind having from the wars. Having to be ready to go at a moment's notice was a good thing in this line of work.

The others had all grabbed keys. "We'll see you at work Duo."

"Sure, see you in a bit." Duo waved after them. He had decided to walk today; he had that strange feeling that something was going to happen. What, he wasn't sure but he didn't want to miss anything. He heard noise coming from an ally and ran don it.

There were a bunch of kids gathered around something small on the ground. Duo heard a quiet sound. He wasn't sure what it was but he had to make himself known. "Hey kids, what are you doing?"

The boys looked up and froze when they saw that a Preventer had found them. "N-nothing." said the lead kid.

"Then get out of here." Duo told them. "I'm sure you have better things to do than stay here."

They nodded, running off. Duo saw what the group of boys had been harassing. "Damn boys, can't give anything peace…" He laughed. "I'm going to take you to the vet to make sure you're ok, then I have to get to work, I'm going to leave you at the vet today ok? And then I'm going to take you home."

The black cat he had picked up purred, cuddling into the one armed hug Duo gave it. Underneath the happy, purring façade, Luna was worried. She had yet to find the Princess and she had tried all the girls in the area! She just knew the Princess was here. But then, this boy had picked her up and her senses had gone wild. That was when she came to a conclusion that almost scared her. Could the Princess have been born the wrong gender? Was that why she hadn't been able to find her before? Was this boy who she was looking for?

But then, if Princess Serenity had been born male then that meant that some of her Guardian Senshi could have been born as males too! Luna felt a headache approaching. At least she had found the Princess. Now she could focus on finding Serenity's guardians. The best place to start; would be his own residence. She needed to awaken them soon and she would even wake the outer guardians early if she had to. Darkness was approaching, and the Princess was in danger. * I hope I find the Guardians soon…*

Duo grinned; glad that Hilde's veterinary office was also close to where he and his friends lived. She had to, as she also worked with them as a Preventer part of the time.

The bell dinged cheerfully as Duo walked in. "Hiya Hilde!"

Hilde looked up from her paperwork. "Hey Duo, how are you his morning?"

"Good, I'd be better if I hadn't found a bunch kids hurting this sweet girl here." He set the cat down on the counter.

"Oh she is adorable Duo!" Hilde exclaimed quietly. "What's her name?"

"Haven't thought of one yet. But you can bet that I'm keeping her. She's really sweet and friendly."

"I can tell. Do you mind if I name her?" Hilde asked.

"Not at all, though I will change it if I don't like it."

"Sure Duo." Hilde grinned. "Let's get her in the back so I can look at her."

Duo picked the cat up and followed his 'sister' to an examination room. "I'd better call Une and tell her I might be a bit late."

"Go ahead."

Duo placed the cat onto the table and pulled out his phone to call Une. "I might be a bit late Lady, taking care of an animal I found." Duo nodded. "She's staying with Hilde today." He hung up.

Hilde smiled at him as she began the exam. "You are such a good kitty cat…"

Luna looked up at Hilde with wide eyes. * Could it be that I found Venus too? * This had to be a huge coincidence! She could never have gotten this lucky! If Venus was here the others should be nearby too! She'd need to tell Artemis…

Duo scratched under her chin, "You be good for Hilde-onee-chan Ok? I need to get to work."

Luna gave him a happy meow in reply.

"Don't worry Duo; she's in good hands here." Hilde told him, smiling.

Duo nodded. "I'll be back after work to take her home." He waved good bye and walked out the door.

"Have a good day Duo!" Hilde called after him.

"I will, you take care of Neko-chan"

"Ok Duo!" Hilde smiled, turning back to the sweet cat Duo had brought her. "I think I'll call you… Luna!"

Luna purred then began to mess with something on her forehead.

Hilde noticed. "Stupid boys, using band aides on animals is wrong… the adhesive pulls hair out…" She reached down. "Be still for me Luna, I'll be quick and I'm sorry for any pain this causes."

Luna set her paw down on the examination table, meowing as Hilde reached down to pull the band aide off of the moon mark on her forehead. There, there Luna…" Hilde gave a quick tug and the bandage came of. "There, all better."

Hilde blinked when she saw what was under it. "How cute… Let's put you in the back to rest and recover from those nasty boys." She still had to check on her canines and then there were the appointments she had today… She put Luna in a cage and went on with her daily routine.

Luna smiled as she watched Hilde. * Yes, she is the Princess and Guardian of Venus… I recognize her anywhere. She needs her pen… * She pulled the Venus transformation pen out of her stuff space pocket.

Venus had always been the closed thing the Princess had to a sister. The interaction between her and Duo was enough to make her pretty damn certain that Duo was the lost Princess.
