Gundam Moonshine
Chapter 2
AN: ::Sniff Sniff:: I'm so so happy. Really I am. I seriously didn't expect so many people to like my story! This chapter goes out to all of you! Wait...don't they all go out to the readers? Um...you can just ignore me and go on reading now... :}
Oh! And, I never thought the "Who is Serena going to be with?" issue was going to cause such controversy! (:D) Of all the reviewers who responded to the question it seems 19 and 1/2 for Heero, 6 for Trowa, 1 and 1/2 for Wu fei, and 0 for Duo. I know that Heero overwhelmingly won but I think I'll wait a few episodes before making my decision. Come to think of it maybe she won't end up with anyone! I'm making no promises considering I don't know who I want her to be with. Just because they're all attracted to each other doesn't mean they want to get married (that really doesn't sound that good does it?) . but chances are there will be a connection soon, I'm just trying to keep you all on your toes. (:] hee hee!)
Summary of last chapter in a nutshell: Last time Serena was questioned by Lady Une (I found out I've been spelling her name wrong the entire time. :P). Then she meets Trowa, Heero and Wu fei.
Summary of this chapter: Serena goes to work with the mad scientists. (I don't want to give anymore away but you're going to love it!)
Disclaimers: I don't own SM or GW; Sorry to disappoint you, it sucks I know. Please don't sue or copy.

~~ "Serena! Are you paying attention?"
The little girl of about five looked up at the old man with her bright blue, unemotional eyes. "Yes Dr. P," she said in a high pitched voice.
Dr. P sighed. All day long he had been trying to get one idea over to this little tot. He inwardly smiled. She just looked so adorable the way she stood with her three feet height, staring up at his six feet as if she knew all. "Then please, dear, explain to me how to break the Alliance code on their master computer system."
Little Serena grabbed one of her pigtails, put it in her mouth, and started to suck it, with deep concentration covering her features. After a few seconds a little smirk formed over her perfect little mouth. She energetically hopped up onto the computer chair, that was taller than she was, near the small computer and started typing as fast as her little hands could. Finally, she looked back at the Dr with a very proud/smug look on her face. ~~
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Serena was rudely awaken by the loud speaker announcing it was time for everyone to be up and ready to get to work for the pride of Oz: Mobile Dolls.
She was seriously ready to ignore the message but she groggily decided that if she was going to be on the Lunar Base awhile she'd better not start any bad habits too soon.
---
When she was putting the last touches on her large, golden bun there were a few taps on the door of her small room. Serena sighed and answered it only to see the guy who had helped her to the cell the other day, not to mention the guy who stopped Lady Un from shooting her. She smiled Sweetly at him with a welcome.
---
Trowa looked at the girl in surprise. His eyes searched Serena's face for a sign of the beating she had received the day before; but all he could see was a small scratch by her lip, and the trace of a bruise around her eye that was going through the final stage of healing. *Wow, she heals faster than Heero!* "Hello private," Trowa said calmly, clearing his voice, "I've been put in charge of assigning you to work while you're on the moon base," Trowa signaled for her to follow him. As they were walking he hurriedly continued because he realized he had already spoken his limit when it came to girls: "There are not many positions to fill but since I've been told that you were learning to fly when you mistakenly wound up here I've decided to let you work in a place where you can see mobile suits being built."
Serena's eyes lit up at the possibility of getting to be with mobile suits hand to hand.
"It's noting special, just assisting the scientists."
"It sounds great, I can't wait! Oh, and you can call me Serena. " Serena said enthusiastically, which made Trowa laugh. "By the way-"
"Just call me Trowa."
"OK, Trowa. Thank you so much for saving me yesterday," she said staring down at the ground with a sudden sensation of shyness.
Trowa blushed, looked away, and tried to think of something to say to respond to her. How could he tell her he just couldn't watch her get hurt anymore? Luckily for him he noticed they had already made it to the scientist's hanger. "Here we are." He nodded to the guard standing outside the door.
The guy in the purple dress (if anyone could e-mail me with his name I would so greatly appreciate it :o Shigal5@aol.com) made express orders for guards to be guarding his mobile suits at all times since the break-in with Duo the previous day. He didn't want to take any chances with one more gundam pilot still around.
The guard nodded back and unlocked the door for the two. He led them through the smaller hall to the hanger with the Mercureous and V8.
Inside, Serena once again looked in awe at the blue and red mobile suits. Then she remembered the other one she had seen. The Deathseythe, she remembered. *That one was awesome. I can't place it but I know I've seen one like it somewhere before...*
"This is the assistant we get?" said one of the old scientists walking over and examining Serena. "I thought we asked for someone with some brains?"
Serena was instantly outraged. *How dare he! After I risked my life yesterday...I was covering up for this old bag?* She looked as if she were about to blow. (you know the look I'm talking about :))
One of the other scientists walked up and looked Serena over with a cynical eye. "I guess she'll have to do, you can leave us now," he said referring to the guard at the door. The guard nodded and exited.
Trowa also left the room smiling with his knowledge that the scientists specifically had asked for Serena. He didn't understand why, but he was sure he would find out eventually.
---
Serena still looked really angry once everyone but the scientists were gone. She was really seriously thinking about giving them a piece of her mind.
The odd group of scientists, including the tall, beautiful, green haired lady all came and crowed around her. They grinned as if they were proud of themselves for some reason.
Serena wasn't over feeling angry but she was starting to get creeped out. "Why are you staring at me like that?!" she asked after about 5 minutes. They all laughed at Serena's expense.
"Welcome Serena."
"We've been waiting for you awhile now."
"We had out doubts that you would ever come back, but Setsuna has proven to be correct once again."
"Ok boys," Setsuna said with a laugh, "stop scaring the poor girl. Come on Serena, I want to show you something." The young scientist lead the still confused Serena over to a large machine. It had a rather large screen with buttons that resembled the inside of a mobile suit. Then there was a helmet attached to the machine.
"This is our VR flight simulator," Dr J said smugly.
"It's sort of like a video game," Setsuna added noticing Serena's confusion.
Serena's eyes lighted up at the mention of a video game. Near the orphanage there was an arcade and she's proven herself to be the best at every fighting game. Darien could never understand why she would spend most of her free time in the arcade playing the games she already had the highest score possible on. It was almost like an obsession; give her any fighting game and she could go for hours.
Eagerly she jumped onto the chair, put on her seatbelt, and placed the helmet on her head. "Engines full blast Doc!"
"Wait a second Serena," the tall, bald, buff scientist said. We need to hook you up so we can check your vitals.
"Um, ok," she said.
The scientist placed little suction cups with the cords all over her head and chest, the cords were attached to an EKG (monitors heart beat, electrocardiogram)and EEG (monitors brain waves, electroencephalogram; I learned that in my health class :]). When he was done placing the suction cups he held up the thumbs up sign to the other scientists.
"Now we'll see if the computer had some fluke in it when we monitored her flight to the moon," Dr L whispered to his fellow scientists.
Setsuna picked up a little remote control and asked Serena if she was ready. Serena said she was but she felt like a porcupine. Setsuna nodded to the other scientists, held her breath and turned on the flight simulator.
Immediately Serena's visor lighted up with stars as the screen turned on, as if she were actually in space. She gripped the stick as tightly as she could and tested the steering capabilities. *This is a little bit more high tech than the games I'm use to.* Then in the top corner of her visor a little red light started beeping indicating the enemy was on it's way.
Serena started shooting the animated mobile suits at a pretty average rate. She felt like she was really starting to get the hang of it when one came out of no where and started shooting her. *Oh no!* All at once the screen flashed violently and appeared to shatter. "WAAAAAAAA!" Serena screamed as fell off her chair and landed on the floor with a thud.
She started giggling as she sat up and took off her helmet. But, when she saw the look on the scientists faces she stopped giggling. They looked as if she had just killed their favorite houseplant. "Ah...it's harder than it looks?...heh heh...," she said to try to get them to stop looking at her like that. *Why are they bugging out so much?*
"Is this some kind of joke, Setsuna? You said she-"
The scientist didn't have a chance to finish his sentence because Setsuna was already starting to reload the simulator. "Try again Serena," she said calmly. "This time, try to clear your mind and concentrate." *I know you have it in you princess...*
Serena sighed and took her place at the simulator once again. She thought about what the scientist had said...*so they don't think I can do this? I'll show them!* She put on her helmet with a determined look on her face.
Setsuna turned on the machine once again but this time she turned the knob on the remote control putting the simulator up a few levels. The rest of the scientists looked at her in shock but she ignored them.
The enemies came fast and were very numerous. At first she was hitting them less than they were hitting her, which caused the men to pull their hair out. But, Setsuna, who was watching the girls face, noticed when it happened. She saw how the young girls face turned from sweet and anxious to the mask of a solemn warrior. Immediately after the 'transformation' the girl's fingers started moving at lightening speed on the stimulator controls.
"Her heart rate is 62bpm (shows that she isn't putting much effort into it) and her brain waves are off the charts! This is amazing her senses all seem-" the tall scientist couldn't finish his sentences because he was awestruck.
Setsuna turned the knob up a few more levels, but nothing seemed to hinder the destruction the pilot was causing in the VR world. The scientists just continued to stare at her in shock, even Setsuna.
"I can't believe it! Haha! Turn it up all the way Setsuna!" Dr. J exclaimed.
"It is."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~~ "Wake up Setsuna!" Dr. P said with some anxiousness throwing open his niece's bedroom door.
Setsuna bolted to a sitting positions in her bed. She looked at the clock on her bed stand. 2:53 am. "Uncle P what's wrong? Do you know what time it is?" she asked getting out of her bed and putting on a nightgown.
"I can't find her! She isn't in her room!"
---
Setsuna and Dr. P looked all over the Lunar Colony's lab. Finally after about an hour of searching Setsuna ended up in the hanger containing Serena's future gundam. The gundam was only half complete but Serena was constantly around it.
She turned on the lights and surveyed the area, everything seemed ok. Setsuna was about to turn off the lights and continue her search elsewhere when a low rumble caught her attention. She went in the direction the sound was coming from to find out what it was.
What she found made her smile: there, on the right 'foot' of the gundam was 6 year old Serena sprawled out asleep with a wrench in her tiny hand. She was snoring rather loudly. ~~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serena woke up in the hanger. Before she'd fallen asleep she given the job of moping and shining the entire floor of the main hanger. Compared to the flight simulator it was rather boring. When the scientists left her with the job they said "wax on wax off." *What's that suppose to mean?* (yes that was my lame attempt at a joke :})
Looking around she noticed that everyone had left the hanger and that she was alone. An evil look came over her face. *The Gundams!*
Serena took one last look around her, with an even bigger evil look on her face, to make sure no one was around and she made her way to the trap door she had followed Duo and the scientists down only the night before. Descending into the secret hanger Serena turned on the light above the two gundams. They were amazing. Every time she saw them she felt a marvelous sensation all throughout her body. *Oh if only I could just fly one!* Serena walked up to Deathseythe Hell. *Duo wouldn't mind if I just got inside of it. He owes me one...* She bit her lip and sighed. *Oh, I guess I shouldn't knowing my luck they would discover me and kill me, * She thought disappointedly.
With one last look Serena turned to leave before she got caught. As she was leaving she shivered, not a bad shiver but a good shiver. Without knowing why she looked on the far wall of the hanger. A door.
Serena made her to the door and turned the knob. It was unlocked. She slowly pushed the door open and was met with pitch black. Cautiously she felt for a light switch. When she found it she flipped on the lights and gasped. (What did she see? Find out next week on... hee hee; I'm sooo just kidding! I want to know what she sees too!)
In the new hanger was a gundam. The gundam in front of Serena was not as large as the gundams in the other hanger but it was still larger than other mobile suits. It was also more feminine than the other gundams. The gundam was white with some navy blue and red in choice places. In the gundam's 'hand' was a large red and golden scepter. But what really caught Serena's eye was a symbol on the gundam's "forehead". The symbol was one that caused a deep swell in Serena's soul. It was the symbol of a crescent moon.
"Moonshine," Serena whispered. She knew she knew it from somewhere but she couldn't remember. She wanted to go and touch the gundam, but, most of all she had an overwhelming urge to fly it.
"Serena!" she heard someone yell from the outer hanger. Serena knew the voice to be belonging to one of the scientists, she could never tell these guys apart. "Serena where are you!"
Serena let out a little depressed sigh and looked longingly at the gundam. *Moonshine...*
"Serena come out at once!" the scientist had made it to the trap door going to the other hanger. She didn't want to leave but she didn't want to be caught. With one last look to the gundam she ran out, closing the door carefully behind her.
A figure jumped down from the rafters above the gundam. She had a soft lavender inner glow that emitted bright enough to see Gundam Moonshine in the darkness of the hanger. Pluto reached into her subspace pocket and took out the silver imperial crystal (She took it at the beginning of the first chapter after she told Serena about why she was another time).
"Here you go Ginzuishou," she said floating up to the gundam's 'head'.
The crystal floated from Sailor Pluto's hands and was absorbed into Moonshine's crescent moon symbol on it's 'forehead'. The gundam's eyes lit with a blinding white light which forced Pluto cover her eyes.
"It has begun."

Isn't it exciting, or seem to be getting exciting?
So have I really confused everyone yet? I don't know, it all makes sense in my mind. All I can say is I'm dead tired. Writing this thing is addicting! I don't think I'll get the next fic until sometime over the weekend, I just need a break! ;P
:D I've decided to tell you of some things to expect in the future of this story. I have decided to add the other scouts, though I'm not sure how it's going to work out yet but I have a clue. I got the impression from some of the reviews that this is what you guys want. I can't deny you anything, what can I say? Well maybe some things, but not this one. Keep on telling me what you want, I promise I'll try my best to give it to ya'll.
Until next chapter,

So have I really confused everyone yet? I don't know, it all makes sense in my mind. All I can say is I'm dead tired. Writing this thing is addicting! I don't think I'll get the next fic until sometime over the weekend, I just need a break! ;P
:D I've decided to tell you of some things to expect in the future of this story. I have decided to add the other scouts, though I'm not sure how it's going to work out yet but I have a clue. I got the impression from some of the reviews that this is what you guys want. I can't deny you anything, what can I say? Well maybe some things, but not this one. Keep on telling me what you want, I promise I'll try my best to give it to ya'll.
Until next chapter,
