Chapter 6
"Sele-chan? Are you in there? Your mother is asking for you," called an unfamiliar voice
through the door.
The princess turned quickly, "Hai, Luna! I'm here. I'll be right out.!"
"Hai, hime."
Seleinity turned back toward Heero, "Come with me, koi. When 'Kaa-san sees us together, maybe
she'll change her mind."
Heero snorted, "Not likely, koi. But I will still go with you."
She smiled gratefully. It had been too long since they had last danced together. She turned to
look at WuFei, who looked rather clueless and hopelessly lost. The White Princess began to feel
sorry for him. He did remind her so much of Makoto when she had first come to the moon.
"WuFei-san. Baaru heya e ikimasu kudasai. Try to have some fun, I'm sure there will be
many people you can make friends with," she guestured to the doors that led back to the ballroom,
"And Mako-chan is probably looking for you."
WuFei brought his mind back to the present and nodded curtly.
"Wakatta. I'll do that."
He headed to the ballroom and searched the crowds of dancers to find Makoto or Duo. He found
them coming off the dance floor, each looking around, probably for him or someone else. It
turned out to be someone else. A girl with long blond hair waved back at Makoto and practically
dragged Quatre with her to the other couple. They began talking animatedly, but something about
the tone of the conversation seemed off. It seemed almost grim.
What's going on now?! WuFei shouted mentally. What the hell am I missing? This is a
party, not a funeral, yet the general vibe is totally off.
He growled. When it came to information, the former scholar absolutely *hated* to be left in the
dark. Then again, he was new here, and not expected to know what was going on. Taking a closer
look at the four talking, WuFei noted that they seemed almost to be discussing something...
military. Each had the hard look of a soldier, a stark change from the happy face of Minako, the
gentle look of Quatre, the comforting visage of Makoto and the always-smiling Duo.
"And on them, those looks are just completely wrong," he muttered.
His musings were interrupted by the blaring of horns. An announcer stepped onto the stage and
coughed loudly to bring the dancers attention to him. When he was quite certain he held the
attention of at least most of the people, he 'ahemed' and spoke.
"My Lords and Ladies, Masters and Mistresses, I am indeed thrilled to see you all here
tonight. I hope the food has been to your liking and that your feet have not been stepped on
while dancing," he paused while a refined laughter ran through the hall, "And now, it is with
great pleasure that I present to you our finest musicians. May I present, Rei Hime,
Michiru Hime, Quatre Ouji, and Trowa-Ouji."
There was a long round of applause as Quatre and Trowa left their dance partners to take their
place on stage and Rei and Michiru appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. The musicians were seated
by their various instruments, and Rei took her place at center stage. Trowa began by lightly
drumming on some symbols, and Quatre joined him on the violen. As Rei began singing, the two
boys stopped and Michiru began playing a simple melody on the guituar. A flute, which Trowa had
picked up, joined in the melody during various parts, and Quatre also added in the piano.
"Doushite nano
Kono hirogari no naka
Utsukushii mono hodo kowaretasui nara
Sukuidashite
Anata ga tamashii ni kawatteshimau naraba
Isshoni tureteitte," Rei sang, her voice clear and sweet.
"Dounaruka wakaranakute
Nakinagara koe o ageru
Onegai hitoribocchi ni sasenai de
Inochi wa akkenakute
Hontou ni inakunatte
Mou ichido daite hoshii
Anata dake go tenshi datta
Kaze ha fuite watashi wa hane no youni

Daremo shiranai kuni e."
There was a silence throughout the ballroom as Quatre finished the songs ending on the piano,
then the whole room errupted into applause. WuFei nodded his appreciation, being to proud to
clap wildly as he might have otherwise done. He noticed that Makoto and Duo were doing just
that, and that they were so happy was good enough for him.
