I'm going to have a dream sequence in this one so fair warning. I'll surround it in these ~blahblahblah~
Chapter 7: Shattering Dreams
Usagi quietly unlocked her door and entered the room. Even though she was quiet, Rei woke up immediately upon hearing the lock click.
"So, you actually decided to come back tonight did you?"
Usagi sweat dropped. "Hai, I'm sorry if I woke you up Rei-chan."
"No problem. So, where were you Usagi-chan?" asked Rei, curious to know what had kept her out until, Rei looked at her clock, 10:00?! It had been two hours since Rei had returned.
"Well, after you left, Trowa-san went away too, so it was just Duo- kun and I. We talked for a few minutes then went and got a bite to eat. While we ate we talked for awhile. He is so nice Rei-chan!" Usagi told Rei as she got into her nightgown and got ready for bed.
"You've been with Duo-chan all this time?! Usagi-chan what about Mamoru-chan?!"
"Duo-kun and I are just friends," Usagi stated firmly. "Besides, I was hungry and he asked if I wanted to got get a bite. What is so wrong with that."
"Usagi-chan you just spent two hours with a guy you don't know, and you laugh at all his jokes! You think I don't know you well enough to know when you have a crush?"
"Rei-chan, I love my Mamo-chan, Duo-kun is just a friend who happens to ask me to dinner. It's not my fault he's cute!"
"Like I said before, Usagi-chan, you think I don't know you well enough to know when you have a crush." With that Rei turned over in bed, dismissing the subject. Climbing into her side of the bed Usagi thought 'Do I really like him? I know I love Mamo-chan, but do I like Duo?' Soon, the room was filled by the soft snoring of the two girls sleeping.
~ It was quiet, too quiet for Rei's liking. Suddenly the air was filled with a grating laughter. Rei tried to run, but her legs wouldn't work.
"Sorry my little senshi," laughed the voice, "but I have plans for you." Suddenly, Rei was hit in the stomach by something. Then, out of no where the forms of the other inner senshi were before. Each of their faces were locked in a silent scream. Suddenly, one by one, the bodies of the senshi exploded into billions of bits of light. First to go was Mercury, then Venus, then Jupiter. Then, a torn and battered body of Sailormoon was flung to the ground. Rei watched in horror as with every effort to get up, an unseen force beat down Sailormoon again.
"Sailormoon!!!" cried Rei, her vision was being blurred by tears. Sailormoon looked towards Rei and with sad eyes she mouthed the words 'I'm sorry' to Rei just before she too exploded into light.
"Do you see the fate of our friends and yourself. You all will face certain death if you try to oppose my mistress and her army. Beware."~
Rei sat straight up in bed. Her face was wet from tears and sweat covered her body. She looked towards Usagi who was sleeping peacefully. Usagi turned over and sighed softly. Rei thought of the dream that she had just experienced. 'I can't let what the voice said would happen actually happen. I care about my friends. The word needs people like them all.' Rei thought of Ami, the quiet bookworm, Ami was always ready to help out in any way she could. Next to enter her thought was Makoto, strong and protective, Makoto was the nurturing type, always cooking food and caring for her friends. Minako's face flashed through her mind next. Minako was always cheerful and could brighten you up from even the darkest moods. Again Rei looked at the small girl next to her. Thinking of her bubbly personality, Rei couldn't help but smile. Yes, Usagi was a crybaby, a coward and was never on time, but beneath her typical blonde stereo type exterior, Usagi had something deeper then all of those things. Usagi was the most loyal person that Rei knew. She had to do everything in her power to prevent her friends destruction.
After thinking for a while, Rei lay back down and tried to fall back asleep. Her dreams were now just dreams and no longer haunted by the evil voice.
Usagi awoke the next morning. When she looked at the clock on her nightstand she realized that it was only 9:00. 'Wow, I'm even up before Rei, she must have not slept well.' Getting up Usagi went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she emerged she found Rei sitting on the bed still in her nightgown. She looked distant to Usagi. "Rei-chan, are you all right," questioned Usagi.
Rei looked up; she hadn't heard Usagi enter the room. "Hai, I'm fine. I was just thinking. Well, I better start getting ready for the day." Rei plastered a fake smile on her face and went into the bathroom.
Usagi soon heard the shower running. 'Something must be bugging her. I'll have to ask her again once she comes out.' Which wasn't long, since Rei took fairly quick showers. Once Rei had walked out of the bathroom, Usagi cornered her. "What is wrong Rei-chan?"
"I told you nothing. Now, will you quit bugging me?" Rei replied angrily.
"You're lying Rei-chan! Now tell me what is wrong!" demanded Usagi. She didn't like the fact that Rei was hiding something from her. Rei laughed, which was the last reaction that Usagi had expected.
"Usagi-chan, don't ever change!" Rei then pushed Usagi out of the way. Just before she could say anything, there was a knock at the door, making Usagi drop the subject.
Since Rei was closest to the door, she opened it. Standing by the door was Duo, Quatre, and Trowa.
"Hey babes!" greeted Duo. "We thought that we could take you girls out on the town."
Quatre blushed a bit and said, "What Duo forgot to say is that, you will probably need some more clothes then you seem to have. Since you didn't have any money, I'll buy you a few things." With each word, Quatre's face got even redder. Both girls stared in shock.
"Really?! You want to take us shopping! Oh thank you Quatre-kun!" squealed Usagi. She began to bond around the room.
"What about Heero Wufei? How come they aren't coming?" Rei wondered out loud.
"Well, Heero is spending the day with Relena to make sure that nothing else happens around here, and Wu-man just didn't want to come. I can't imagine why though," said Duo while looking at Usagi, making her cheeks flush a soft pink.
"Well, lets go then!" said Rei enthusiastically, happy to get some new clothes since she was tiered of wearing the same uniform. The girls exited their rooms and they went off with the boys.
"So, what do you all think?" asked Usagi. She had just come out of the dressing room with a pink sundress with a flowery Hawaiian print.
"It's nice," said Quatre. Trowa only gave an approving nod.
"Wow, babe, you look hot!" exclaimed Duo. He was being honest too. He had taken a general liking to her.
"Thanks guys! Where's Rei-chan?"
"She just went into the dressing room with something."
"Oh, O.K." Usagi said and went back into the dressing room. Once she came out, everyone was waiting for her. 'How did she beat me out here?' wondered Usagi.
"Do you want that dress Usagi?" asked Quatre.
"I don't know, You have already got me three things. I feel bad because I can't pay you back."
"It's all right, I have more money then I know what to do with. I'm glad to be putting it to a use." replied Quatre, taking the dress.
"Thank you very much Quatre-kun," said Usagi.
Once outside the store, the group started to make its way back to the academy. The girls were extremely happy to be able to get out of their clothes that they had arrived in. Getting to their room, the girls found that two school uniforms had been dropped off at their room. To both girls they were ugly. With a pale pink frilly blouse and a magenta over coat, the uniforms looked like the belonged in a bad fashion magazine from the Victorian age. Neither said anything though, since they figured Relena was nice enough to let them attend school here.
While the girls had been shopping with Quatre, Duo, and Trowa, Heero had been watching over Relena. Which Relena couldn't say she hated. She talked happily about all that had happened in Heero's absence from the Sank Kingdom, which wasn't much. In fact, the small attack on the Academy was the most exciting thing that had happened in months.
"So, how have you been Heero," asked Relena. Wanting to know a little about her crush's life.
"Fine," came the monotone reply. Relena smiled, he was never much of a conversationalist.
"Oh, there is one thing I want to ask your opinion of." Relena waited for a reply; of course she didn't get anything more his infamous grunt. "I was planning to have a dance to start off the school year. This school needs something to draw people to, only people attending the Academy or invited by an attendee will be allowed to come. What do you think?"
Heero just looked at Relena; he had not entirely been expecting something so bold to come out of her mouth. "Hn," was his reply in an attempt to cover up his shock.
"Well, do you like the idea?" pressed Relena. She was going to get more out of Heero then his grunt if she had to force it out of him.
"Sure," said Heero.
"Good, well, I think I'm going to have it the day the first semester starts," Relena offered. She knew that it sounded obvious that she wanted to go with him, but it was true. She wanted to go with him.
"O.K."
"Um… Heero," Heero turned to face her and she blushed. "Would you go with me?" Her voice raised in hopefulness. When Heero nodded, it was all Relena could do was to keep from jumping up and down in circles.

A.N.: Hope you like this. Sorry if the clothes thing was pointless, but I figured that poor Usagi and Rei would like some new clothes after living in the same thing for around four days. ^_^. Well, as always, please review. Stay Tuned! (This is my longest chapter yet! Wohoo!)
