Gundam Moonshine
Chapter 1
AN: I got reviews! I feel so special! I feel like dancing and...Ok, I'm over it, but I'm still very pleased. As soon as I saw all the wonderful reviews I was so inspired that I immediately went to work on the next chapter! See being good readers does pay off. Thanks!
Oh, and I wanted to explain the relationship between Darien and Serena a little bit more. I just have to say that I love Darien to pieces which is why I still have him close to Serena. But since my favorite stories to read are crossovers I decided to write one of my own, and it doesn't work as well when Darien and Serena are together...I guess, it just rules out so many other wonderful possibilities. So people can be soul mates even if they aren't romantically involved. It just means I guess that even though they have a deeply personal relationship the circumstances of their getting to know each other made it so they weren't romantic soul mates. Um, yes...you can all yell and throw things at me if this doesn't make any sense at all.
Summary of the last chapter in a nutshell: Serena woke up and found herself getting ready to be a pilot. Sailor Pluto told her that she is Darien's sister-type-person and that Serena was sent to the future and was getting her wish to not be a sailor scout any more. She forgot her past life as soon as Pluto left. Then, Serena met Duo who highjacked the mobile suit she was accidentally in and he took her to the moon. On the moon they were running around the Oz base and they ran into the scientists.
Whoa, way too much talking here...
Summery for this chapter: Serena meets the other pilots! (Except for Quatre.) Happy reading!
Disclaimers: Please don't sue I have nothing to give but this over active imagination (just ask my mom)! I don't own SM or GW.

"Ouch," Duo mumbled quietly as he was thrown in the small room landing on his face with a thud. The door closed behind him with a little click to assure them they were locked in for good. Duo groaned and looked up.
"Why didn't you terminate yourself before letting yourself be captured?" Heero asked with a look of intent that sent shivers down Duo's spine.
"Weakling," Wu fei accused.
"Hey guys," Duo said cheerily, despite the death glares he was receiving from his fellow gundam pilots, "you'll never guess what I saw."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
::Smack::
Serena tried to hold back a little cry when Lady Un hit her across the face. "I'll ask you again, it's not that difficult a question. What do you know about the Gundams?"
Trowa looked at the scene in disgust. Lady Un had been questioning the girl for over twenty minutes and had only found out the girl's name, where she was from and a few other things she didn't believe. The girl was answering all the questions Lady Un asked, except when it came to the ones about the gundams.
His heart melted when he looked at the angel sitting in a chair with her hands tied behind her back. Her long blond hair was all over the place; it covered half of her face and a few strands were getting stuck in the blood from her cut lip and eyebrow. One of her beautiful, innocent, blue eyes was nearly swollen shut from the numerous punches and slaps in the face. Yet through all that she still kept quiet and was beautiful.
*Serena, what a beautiful name, it fits her so well... sitting there so serene and brave.* Trowa thought.
::Thud::
Trowa gritted his teeth. He noticed the other young guards in the room had looked away from the poor girl, obviously disgusted by the unnecessary force used upon her.
One of the silent bystanders stepped foreword in a manner that demanded attention. Trowa felt inwardly disgusted with the man in the purple dress, with a scar on his cheek (I don't know if it is a dress he wears but that's what it looks like, oh, I also forgot his name :p).
"Lady Un," the man said, "She is obviously loyal to them and there is no way you will get any truth out of her. I say just get rid of her and forget about it, this is just a waste of time." With that said the man left the room.
Lady Un watched him leave with hatred written over her face. She hated that man and just hearing him made her angrier. She looked for something to take out her anger and frustrations on. Her eyes went to the other creature that she felt anger for. With out a moment's hesitation she hit Serena so hard that she knocked the bound girl from the chair she was sitting on. Lady Un proceeded to take out her gun and aimed it at Serena.
Trowa had had enough. He quickly walked over and put his hand on the gun. "With all due respect Lady," he said calmly, displaying no emotion, "I think that she is much more valuable alive." When Lady Un looked at Trowa with confusion and anger he quickly continued, "You've seen the skill she possesses with the mobile suit, she may be useful to the cause."
Lady Un considered what the boy had said. And with the obvious relief of all the men in the room she dropped her gun to her side. "Fine then. You take her to the cell with her 'friends'." Lady Un started to walk to the door but stopped with an idea. She went back over to the girl hunched over on the floor and kicked Serena in the stomach. She then left.
The rest of the guards left as well with worried glances to the girl on the floor, they were obviously relieved that Lady Un had spared her.
Trowa kneeled down beside her and turned her over. "Are you ok?" he asked with his usual calm voice betraying his concern.
"I'll live," Serena painfully whispered, even though she didn't quite feel as certain as she sounded.
Trowa managed to smile slightly, not only was this girl a kick ass pilot, she was also tough.
"You did good," he whispered to her as he picked her up carefully, cradling her in his arms. He felt a tinge of guilt when she moaned painfully.
Serena turned her head to look at him curiously. A small blush covered her beaten cheeks when she saw how cute her savior was. But when she looked at him she felt an awkward feeling from deep inside of her. *This man has some inner power...is he a-"
Trowa nodded to her with a knowing look on his face.
"I can walk," she uttered quietly trying to shake off the shock her body felt.
Trowa complied by placing her carefully on her feet. He untied her hands and put one of them over his shoulder then put his arm around her waist. They slowly walked around the base to where the cell with the other gundam pilots was. The trek was slow and very painful but somehow they managed to make it to their destination.
Trowa leaned her against the wall, near the cell, to unlock the door and she promptly fainted. Trowa, with is lightening reflexes was able to catch her before hit the floor.
---
Duo bolted up uneasily into a sitting position when the door to the cell opened. His hands were still tied behind his back making it sort of difficult to get up. Wu fey and Heero looked up as well when Trowa walked in.
"Trowa??" Duo asked with surprise and anger for seeing that the gundam pilot had betrayed them all. Heero and Wu fey greeted him because they already knew he was working under cover.
Trowa then walked over to Heero, who was closest to the door and handed him some water and bandages. When Heero looked at him in his usual slightly cynical yet confused manner he said, "You take care of her, and I have to go attempt to reach the Oz base she came from."
Trowa walked back out of the cell and returned carrying his burden.
"Trowa! What did they do to her?" Duo asked shocked and very angry when he saw what had happened to the angel he had accidentally brought to the moon base.
"You should be proud of her, she didn't reveal anything," Trowa said as he strode silently out of the room.
"Serena? Wake up, are you ok?" Duo said passionately as he crawled over to where she was lying on the floor, "This is all my fault!"
---
Heero looked at the girl Trowa laid on the ground next to him. *She's beautiful.* He didn't want to touch her for fear of harming her fragile frame. *What are you thinking Heero? She's just some girl...*
"This is all my fault!"
Heero looked at Duo with hatred ready to kill him. "You did this?" he demanded.
Duo backed away from the death glare Heero gave him. "She was in the mobile suit I stole to get here," he said defensibly. "I couldn't just leave her in there when we crashed on the moon and I couldn't force myself to kill her." Duo looked down at the floor waiting from the predicted comment from Wu fei.
"You're just weak!" Wu fei accused.
"I'm not weak...but you guys have got to see her fly!" Duo said remembering the way the girl handled the mobile suit. "She may be a better pilot than I am...you guys too," Duo looking at the girl in Heero's arms.
Heero gently moved the hair covering her face careful to get the hair out of her cuts. He took the washcloth Trowa had given him and started to wash off some of the blood.
"What did this weakling know that Oz wanted to know so badly?" Wu fei asked.
Duo thought a minute, "Nothing...Wait!" he said forgetting his aching stomach and jumping it the air. "We met the mad scientists! They showed me my gundam! They're fixing my poor baby Deathsythe- oh and probably your guy's gundams as well."
"She saw the gundams and you let her live? You let her get questioned! She could have spilled the entire thing and we wouldn't see them ever again!" Wu fei screamed, now thoroughly angry at Duo.
"Hey man! I know that, I'm sorry. But...she didn't tell did she; we should thank her," Duo said.
"We wouldn't have had to worry about it if it weren't for your failure to act accordingly. What if they try questioning again?" Wu fei demanded.
Heero wasn't interested in the argument the others were having. He was busy cleaning the cut above her eye. He moved the towel to her crack lip. With a weird sensation overcoming him he brushed his hand across her lips and then her cheek. *Her lips were so red and her cheek so soft-* Heero inwardly punched himself over and over again. *What are you thinking you idiot? You can't let feelings over some beautiful girl distract you!* he yelled at himself. "I wonder who she is." Heero accidentally pondered out loud.
"Her name's Serena," Duo informed him only now noticing the care Heero was giving the girl. "How do you think she looks?"
*Serena...it fits her beauty...* "I think she'll be fine. The bruises and scratches aren't that bad. She may have a puffy eye for a few days but it really won't be all that noticeable." Heero put a butterfly bandage to hold the skin together on her forehead and ensure there were no scars on her beautiful face.
"If she weren't so weak then there would be no reason for her to faint!" Wu fei said.
"Actually the reason I fainted is because I'm starving! What time do they serve dinner around here?" Serena asked.
The three boys were taken by surprise. The angel had spoken and was able to joke after what she had been through. They hadn't noticed that Serena had woken up just in time to hear Wu fei's last comment.
::Gurgle!::
An incredibly loud rumble that shattered the silence of the little cell came from her stomach and they realized that she wasn't joking.
---
Serena finally decided to try to open her eyes and figure out where she was, and to find out who it was that had woken her up with the talking, (and where the food was).
"If she weren't so weak then there would be no reason for her to faint!" Wu fei said.
"Actually the reason I fainted is because I'm starving! What time do they serve dinner around here?" Serena asked. She really was hungry.
---
Heero watched her intently as she opened her large, beautiful, blue eyes that immediately looked straight into his soul. He was swallowed up by the innocence and pure beauty found in them.
---
Serena blushed when she saw the way the boy was looking at her. She tried to sit up but instantly curled up in a ball on Heero's lap and cried out with surprise and pain mixed together.
Heero instantly investigated the source of her pain. He felt along her rib cage and nodded when he had finished is search.
Serena blushed brighter when he touched her but Heero didn't notice to which she was glad.
Everyone looked to him for an answer, Wu fei with a little too much concern for his character. "Two broken ribs, they don't feel too bad, you should be fine." *Why am I showing her so much care? I've got to stop this!*
Heero got up from his seat next to Serena and leaned against the opposite wall, trying to forget and deny the feelings he had felt when he touched her. He folded his arms and attempted to close his eyes but he still couldn't keep himself from staring at her. Nothing else was said after that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The silence in the room was really getting to Serena. Not that it was complete silence; every few seconds there was a loud rumbling from Serena's stomach. She had been embarrassed at first, but then none of the other people in the room seemed to care or pay any attention to her. She felt like she was going insane. She had no clue how long they had been sitting in the incredibly tiny cell but she couldn't take it much longer. *I'M SO HUNGRY!!!*
All of a sudden the door clicked loudly, causing Serena to jump three feet in the air and then curl over in pain from the quick movement. None of the gundam pilots moved an inch. They just looked up calmly to see who entered.
It was a guard.
"Private First Class Serena Chiba, the situation has been cleared up. We now know hat you were only on the mobile suit this morning by accident, that you had never met any of these men before today and that you have never even been in a mobile suit before today. This base humbly apologizes for the misunderstanding and the mistreatment you have so far been given, you may follow me to report to your superior officers and make arrangements for your trip home."
Serena felt out of breath just for listening to the guy, which was weird even for! She slowly got up and followed the guard out of the cell, trying her best not to show any weakness and gave the three boys a small glance goodbye.
"There is no way that girl has never flown before!" Duo stated after she left.
Wu fei and Heero glanced at Duo with no emotion in their faces other than disgust for Duo's idiocy.
--------------------------------------------------
After many long hours Serena was finally brought to a small bunk where she was expected to stay the night. The bunk was about 10'by 10' with only a little cot and small lamp. If Serena had been claustrophobic she would have had a problem.
Serena couldn't believe all she had been through that day. After she left the cell, she was sent to talk to Lady Un, who didn't even seem to care that she had been gravely mistaken in beating her up. Lady Un said that she didn't know when the next shuttle would go to the colony where Darien was waiting for her, but she knew that it wouldn't be anytime soon.
She missed her big brother; all she wanted at the moment was to be in his arms and for him to tell her everything would be all right. "I'm never going to get home!" She cried unhappily to herself.
Serena fell asleep on the uncomfortable cot with visions of the man who had healed her wounds.

Done with chapter 1. :D Sorry I'm not making these stories any longer but I really don't know if I'll come up with much more story...I guess I just need the right motivation...(Hint hint). :P . J/k, like I said before I have a much too large imagination. But still let me know if I should continue and all.
So, whom do you want Serena to end up with? I'm thinking Heero, even though I don't really have him in character and all. Any other suggestions, comments and outrages would be appreciated.
Alrighty. You wonderful people have a good day, until next time. Thanks for reading. Oh, and as you can see I kinda need someone who wants to edit my story because I know some of the things I try to say don't make any sense at all. So yes. Ok, ok I'm done!
