This isn't really a new chapter. I just noticed that I made a mistake on the last part so I revised it.
Anyway, someone asked in his/her review why a lot of people seem to like making Heero and Usagi a couple. If you ask me, I guess it's because their personalities clash with each other. Haven't you ever heard of the saying "opposites attract?" And besides, I enjoy reading Heero/Usagi fics as much as others enjoy Quatre/Minako or Duo/Hotaru fics. It really is just a matter of personal preference... at least, that's what I think.
Warning: Fluff ahead. You've been warned ^-^

That night, the girls decided to sleep over at the Hikawa shrine. Since Grampa was on a 'manly trip' with Yuuchirou for a whole week, the place was too quiet for Rei's liking. And it would be the perfect time to consult the sacred fire and discuss with the other girls what to do now that the enemy seemed to be laying low. As she was getting ready to meditate, Minako's cheery voice could be heard.
"So what do you think about the guys?" Before the others could answer, she continued, "I think they're cool... and so handsome too. It's a good thing Queen Serenity was able to lift the curse that horrible youma put on me. Or else, I would be loveless all my life. Imagine, me, the Goddess of Love, loveless. Isn't that ridiculous? Quat-chan is such a gentleman. I hope he's the right guy for me."
Makoto nodded enthusiastically. Duo was way different from her previous boyfriends. He wasn't intimidated by her strength at all. He was such a sweetheart too. She didn't blame him when the waitress at the cafe started flirting with him; after all, he was oozing with charm. Sure she felt a bit insecured, but when he told the waitress that he already had a special girl in his life (and after this, he winked at her), she knew this was love.
Ami smiled at her friend's antics. Meeting the guys was definitely a refreshing change. Ever since Neo-OZ started terrorizing the colonies, the girls had been busy working as secret agents for Setsuna, or Dr. P. She was the one who told them that there would be one more enemy until the supposed Crystal Utopia emerged. Now that Usagi and Mamoru put a halt to their relationship, the possibility of the Crystal Utopia ever being formed was slim. The girls, except for Usagi, asked Setsuna about this, but the mysterious guardian of time refused to divulge what the future had in store.
Usagi, who was unusually silent, sat beside the window and gazed at the stars above. She was still mourning for her loss; because she and Mamoru parted ways, Chibiusa would never be born. When he told her that he didn't want destiny to rule his life, she cried, not her usual wails, but heart-wrenching sobs. She told him that she would change for the better, that she would no longer act like a child, but Mamoru refused to listen. He had already made up his mind. When he left to continue his studies in America, her dearest friends were always there to comfort and support her. It had been two years since their break-up and she finally moved on with her life. There was no use in pining for a man who didn't love her. A lone tear slid down her cheeks as she recalled the times she and the pink spore, as she liked to call Chibiusa, fought with each other. Or the times when they caused mischief against the unsuspecting population of Tokyo. Indeed, those were the happy times.
Rei noticed that her friend's attention was somewhere else. She frowned. She had lectured Usagi so many times that Mamoru wasn't worth it, that there someone else out there who deserved her love and devotion. She was about to snap her out of it when she caught Ami shaking her head as if to say "No, let her be." Rei finally relented. She and the others missed Chibiusa as much as Usagi did. They had come to love her like she was their own daughter, or maybe a little sister. The break-up was unexpected, but it was for the best... Mamoru was never there whenever Usagi needed him. And he would let a mere dream get in the way of their relationship. How pathetic was that? Despite all of what had happened, she knew that Usagi held no ill-will against anyone.
"So Rei-chan, aren't you supposed to do your fire reading or something?" Minako asked.
"Yup. I don't understand why Relena was so vindictive. From what I saw, Heero wasn't even remotely interested in her."
"Remember when we had to battle that sprite at the lake?" Ami inquired. Of course, none of them could really forget that since it was an unusual circumstance. She was released from captivity by the evil Prince Endymion and started chasing after Usagi. The senshi learned that she wasn't really working for the Dark Kingdom; rather, she was sealed in the lake because of her jealousy. "Maybe all we have to do is make Sailor Moon heal her with the Crescent Wand."
"That's a great idea, Ami-chan," Makoto said.
"Not if the soul is unwilling," Usagi whispered.
"What was that, Usa-chan?" Rei asked from her bed.
Usagi turned her head and smiled at her friends. "I said, I can't heal her if she doesn't want to. She has to realize first that the love she feels for him can never be returned. Only then can I use the wand. Remember Nehelenia and Galaxia? Deep down, they knew they wanted to change their ways and because of that I was able to heal them."
"And what if she doesn't want to?" Makoto asked.
"Then she will inevitably self-destruct."

The guys, on the other hand, were relaxing at Quatre's mansion. Their missions seemed to be getting less frequent lately. Not that they minded, no siree. They were all worn out. They deserved to rest. And being with the girls was a much needed change. Duo plastered a grin on his face, "I guess I'm not the only one in love, huh?"
"Maxwell, now is not the time to annoy me," Wufei replied sourly. But deep down, he was agreeing with the braided-baka. Rei was everything he wanted in a woman. She was beautiful, inside and out. If only she returned his feelings, he would be the happiest man on Earth and the colonies. And yet, there was this nagging feeling in his soul: would she want to be with a cold-blooded assassin? Would she want to be with a man whose hands were stained with blood?
Trowa seemed to be thinking the same thing as Wufei. Ami was a shy and delicate flower. If he wasn't careful, he could hurt her. But as he remembered their encounter at the cafe, he noticed that even though Ami was quiet and introverted, her eyes were full of wisdom beyond her age. Would she look pass the fact that he was an assassin and accept him with open arms?
Quatre was lost in his thoughts. Minako was certainly a beautiful and special girl. And he had never felt like this before. Was this what they called love? But they just met, how could he be feeling this way? He was scared, to say the least. What if she didn't feel the same way he did? What if she rejected him because of who he was? Would he still be able to live?
Heero didn't have to think. He knew for sure that what he was feeling was love. But how could he be sure? He had never experienced this before. He had been a perfect soldier all his life. And yet, upon seeing Usagi for the first time, all these emotions kept whirling in his mind and soul. Was it possible that in his past life, he and Usagi were lovers?
Duo saw that his comrades were lost in La-La Land. He thought of something that would bring them back to reality and he grinned. "Hey, do you guys know why butts are split vertically?"
Quatre turned red and immediately scolded the American pilot. "That wasn't a nice thing to ask, Duo."
"Oh come on, Q-man, haven't you ever wondered why?"
"Stop tormenting him, Maxwell." Wufei answered while looking at the platinum-haired boy. He never thought it was possible to turn that shade of red.
Trowa, who knew that this could only lead to more bickering, decided to appease him. Not only that, he was eager to know what could be deemed as one of life's greatest mysteries. "Why?"
"So when a person slides down the stairs, his butt wouldn't," and he twanged his lips and they made a blubbering noise, "do this."
