The six girls were gathered in the main room of their apartment they got after they moved out of the Peacecraft mansion. They were bent over the table; on it were maps of the plans for reconstructing the kingdoms. There were plans for all the kingdoms, expect for the Moon Kingdom. It was too close and the Earth had bases on the moon, they couldn't let Earthlings know of the other kingdoms yet.
" This is what has already been rebuilt on the planets. It's fast progress, but we should be there overseeing the building ourselves." Setsuna said.
" Yeah, the people are asking to see the Princess'." Haruka added.
" I agree. They need to know for sure we're here and that we'll be there to rule." Hotura put in.
" I guess a trip to all the kingdoms is in plan?" Luna asked.
" Yeah..it looks like well be gone for quite a bit of time." Serena said. " Like around 2 years."
The girls blinked, 2 years was quite a long time.
" Is there any way to shorten the trip?" Hotura asked.
" No, I'm sorry." Setsuna said.
" But, who's going to be in care of the rebirths?" Michiri wanted to know.
" Well, I thought we could pass the ability on to the gundam pilots." Luna said.
" It's settled then, we have one week to get ready." Serena informed them. " We need to tie p all loose ends now."

" So everyone's here?" the teacher said, " Except Miss..Serena? Does anyone know why she isn't at school?"
" She gave me a note saying that she had an emergency, I excused her." Setsuna said.
{Emergency? What emergency I wonder.} Heero thought as he narrowed his eyes at the student teacher.
Actually Serena was packing up her stuff, taking note not to leave anything behind. Later on in the day, Luna was excused for the afternoon.

" I see that Miss Haruka has a track race this morning and won't be here?" The teacher said glancing down at the note.
" Sorry." Haruka said to him standing in front of the class, she had just given him the note.
She took off her jacket and exposed the whole class that she was a girl. The class was rendered speechless as the scouts tried their best NOT to giggle. Haruka snickered at their expressions and walked out the door to go to the track.
The race was only for one hour, the rest of the time Haruka would be packing, but the teacher didn't have to know that. Michiri was gone in the after noon for a concert.

( + Wednesday + )
" Miss Hotura won't be here? She ahs a doctor's appointment?" the teacher's eyebrows bushed together. " This is most certainly a busy week. And Miss Setsuna what was it that you wanted to tell me?"
" I won't be here for this afternoon. I have to attend a meeting for handing the control of Sanq to Millardo Peacecraft." Setsuna said as she bowed. " My most sincere apologies."
The teacher sighed, " Alright class get your books out."

" Come on Duo!! We got to get to the fair to get tickets!!" Hotura said as she ran down the sidewalk.
" Wait up!" Duo shouted at her.
She extended her hand to him, running backwards. He grabbed it, and then a devilish smile came over his face. He gave more speed and was running in front of Hotura now. Hotura laughed then seeing that Duo was facing front and wasn't looking at her, then at their joined hands. {Now.} Duo never saw the lavender glow that surrounded Hotura's hand for a second and then spreading to his, then disappearing altogether.

" Master Quatre? You have some visitors." Rashid said as he interrupted Quatre who was playing the violin.
" Oh, send them in.," said Quatre as he put the violin on the table.
" Hello Quatre." Haruka said as she and Michiri came in.
" What can I do for you?" he asked.
" I heard that you played the violin. As a fellow violinist I was just curious." Michiri said.
" You play the violin? Was that what you played for the concert on Tuesday?"
" Yes, I flattered that you took that bit of information into account." She said.
{How can I not? Heero told us to keep our eyes and ears open to things concerning them.}
" I see you play the piano as well?" Haruka said as she spotted it.
" Care to do a duet?" Michiri picked up the violin.
" Sure." Quatre answered and he seated himself in front of the piano.
He looked at the sheet of notes, his eye never left it. So he never saw the turquoise glow encasing his violin for a second while Michiri played.
" That was great. Oh look at the time, we have to go meet the others Michiri." Haruka said as she looked at her watch/communicator. (In my fic the communicator is a watch as well.)
" It was a pleasure Quatre." Michiri handed him the violin and left with Haruka.
Quatre watched them go them positioned the violin under his neck. {What a weird watch, it had the symbol of the planet Uranus on it. Come o think of it Doesn't Michiri have one of Neptune?} He closed his eyes and played. He never noticed the glow that went form the violin to his hands, and then disappearing.

( + Saturday Afternoon + )
Wufei stared at the picture in his hand as he sat in his desk. {Meiren…I'm sorry.} There came a knock on the door. He quickly hid the picture in the desk drawer and put his hands on top of the table. " Come in."
The door opened to reveal Setsuna in a purple skirt and top. Her dark green hair was in the customary half-bun she always wore.
" Hello Wufei." She said as she took a seat in front of the table.
She looked at him, and saw the remorse in his eyes. She placed a hand on top of his. " She wants you to move on, you know. It wasn't your fault, she doesn't blame you."
He stared into her dark eyes. {So mysterious.} He thought. He was never aware of the dark green of the dark green glow that went form her hands to his.
" What are you talking about onna?" he said gruffly.
She took her hand off his, " She wants you to move on. She's found her peace, she wants you to find yours." Setsuna stood up from her chair and walked to the door. " I hope you find what you're looking for." The she opened the door and left.
Wufei stared at the closed door for a long while after she was gone. Finally when he looked away he opened the drawer and pulled out the picture. And he smiled at it, not one of remorse, but one of remembrance. {Yes, it's time I moved on.} He thought as he looked back at the door.

( + Sunday morning + )
Trowa took off his mask and took a drink of spring water. The show was just over. He looked up when he heard footsteps coming toward him. He held back a gasp as he saw Luna. She was dressed in a purple and yellow dress that brought out her eyes, her hair was now only to her waist. The crescent moon on her forehead should have looked weird; instead it looked like it was suppose to be there. She looked like a vision.
" Hello Trowa." Her musical voice said.
" Hello," He replied back in monotone that hid his awe, " what are you doing here?"
She smiled softly. " I wanted to see you."
He stared, " Why?" he asked softly.
{Because I'll be gone by the end of the day. I wanted to memorize your face, every line, and every angle. I want to remember the one who stole my heart. And the one I believe to be my soul mate.} " To just see you, and..to give you this."
She handed him a picture. The picture was of Luna, Serena, Setsuna, Michiri, Haruka and Hotura. They all wore dresses of a different color. Haruka wore a sandy yellow, Michiri a turquoise, Setsuna a dark green, Serena wore one of the purest white and Luna was wearing what she was now. They all had a certain symbol on their foreheads. Trowa recognized the symbols of Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. Luna had a yellow Crescent moon and Serena had an 8-pointed star with a golden crescent moon inside.
Trowa flipped the picture over ad saw writing. He read it slowly.
Thank you Trowa. I always wanted to know how it felt to be in love. I might be gone now, but you have my word that I'll return. You can tell the others the same from the other girls. Good Bye..for now.
Love, Luna
Trowa looked up sharply, looking at where Luna had been. To see no one, she was gone. {I always wanted to know how it felt to be in love.... Love Luna... Goodbye...Luna} Trowa looked at the departing crowd, looking for Luna, but no such luck. {Luna..}

Serena looked at the closed door in front of her. She tugged at her pink tank top, Her blue jeans all of a sudden felt to tight. {How did I end up with him?} She wondered, she had been trying to avoid Heero since that close call of almost kissing him. {Oh yeah,} she thought sarcastically, {they just so happened to decide who got who when you just happened to be on your daily night stroll!} she sighed. {There's nothing you can do about it now. Just get it over with.}
She knocked 3 times on the door. For a short while she heard nothing but fingers on a keyboard, then a rough "Come in."
She took a deep breath, turned the knob, and stepped in. She closed the door behind her and looked at the only other person in the room.
" Hello Heero."
