Okay. Here's the next chapter, like promised. Here's the deal. I know there are a few mistakes because I didn't have time to listen to all my beta readers/editors (SORRY GUYS!) But I did change a few things.

Usagi followed Quatre and Trowa into the main sitting room at Quatre's mansion. She smiled slightly as they sat together across from her with their hands intertwined.
"It's later," Trowa pointed out as Quatre nodded in agreement.
"I know. And I'll tell you if you promise to let me tell the whole thing with NO INTERUPTIONS." Glaring at the two, she waited until they nodded. "It started when I was fourteen. I'd lived a pretty normal life until thing. I had a mother, a father, and a younger brother. When I was little, my 'mother' used to tell me that I was so smart and graceful. Beautiful and so much like a princess. It rubbed me the wrong way. She used to tell me that the world would recognize me as the princess I was when I grew up. I knew that I couldn't be recognized as a Princess somewhere in my heart. So I began acting clumsy and ditzy and dumb. After a while it became a habit.
"Anyway, I was late to school, as usual, when I saw a group of boys picking on a cat. I freed the cat and took off the Band-Aid they had placed on her forehead. Under it was a crescent moon. The bell rang and I ran off to class, forgetting about the cat. Until it opened my window after school and told me that it was my destiny to become the beautiful suited soldier Sailor Moon and defend the innocent." Usagi proceeded to tell them of how she met the senshi, her battles with Beryl, Ail and Ann, the black moon family, Professor Tomoe, the dead moon circus, Nephelenia and finally, Chaos in Galaxia's body.
"Mamoru returned to the United States to finish his degree. He came back and I found that he had been cheating on me. I didn't feel betrayed or upset. I felt free for the first time in those two years that I had been fighting. And I guess I always knew that he wasn't the one for me. We decided to remain friends. Like we were during the Silver Millennium."
"That doesn't explain how you thought, 'remembered' that Endymion was your soul mate." Trowa pointed out.
"Or how you got here." Quatre added.
"I'd hoped you'd over look that." Usagi said as she winced. "I didn't tell you a few things. I knew that I was the Princess from the time I first transformed. And admitting that would have been admitting Endymion was my prince. I didn't want that. As fore my false memories." Usagi sighed. "Mother put them there. In the heads of the senshi, Luna, Artimas, Enydmion as well as in mine. All except for Pluto, that is."
"Why?"
"She didn't think, didn't know if you'd all be here. She wanted me to be happy. I didn't even remember you until I broke all ties with Endymion. Then, I got my memories back. And I went to the park to await Pluto. She brought me here. To you. To him." She looked at them straight in the eye. "What happened to make him so cold." Trowa and Quatre glanced uneasily at each other. Usagi sat up straighter. "Uh huh. You guys are hiding something. I didn't say anything before because I thought you'd tell me. Spill."
"It has nothing to do with the Silver Millennium." Trowa said.
"She is my sister."
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here. What happened to him, to you?" When they ignored her, she stood. "Damn it. I'll find out if you don't tell me I'll go to Pluto if I have to-"
"Ren, calm down. We'll... show you." Trowa nodded when Quatre's gaze slid to his. They each took one of Usagi's hands and closed their eyes, letting their memories of this time flow into her mind. Forty minutes passed before Usagi sagged back and shook her head as if to clear it from their memories.
"Wow." She sagged back even more. "Shit."
"Ren," Quatre's voice cut through her thoughts, "you okay?"
"You guys have had to... they trained him to... how could they do that to a child? You two have had to go through so much."
"Don't sell yourself short, Ren. You've been through more then your fair share."
"But..." she sighed.
"How you going to get him back? Give him back his memories?"
"No, I want him to fall in love with me. I want to make sure it's for love and not the past. I want to fall in love with him." Trowa nodded. "But how could they take an innocent child and train him to...?"
"I don't know." Trowa glanced at his watch. "But, as you see, we have a meeting at give today and if you don't leave, Ren..."
"I know. It'll look suspicious." She stood and kissed both on their cheeks. "I love you two." Still reeling from the memories she had been acquired, she didn't notice Heero passing her through the front door. He walked in the room to see Trowa and Quatre gazing sadly at each other.
"What was she doing here?" When neither of them answered his question, he pulled his gun.
"She's a family friend, Heero. One whom I haven't seen for a long time." Quatre sighed as Duo crashed into Heero from behind.
"Heero, help me! Wu-man's got a-" he eeped as Wufei's katana sliced through the air next to his head.
"Stop it. All of you." Trowa's voice came through clear. Surprisingly, Wufei put away the katana and Duo sat down. Heero put away his gun and looked at Trowa.
"I will find out." He then turned to the rest of the pilots. "We have to a new mission. Go to the OZ base four miles from here and get a disk labeled 'Jupiter'. Blow up the base. No survivors." Trowa and Quatre glanced worriedly at each other. Their look wasn't lost on Heero.
As they stood to head towards their Gundums, Heero took one last look at the pair. 'I will find out.'
Anyone have any suggestions? Please review! The next chapter will be out really soon, so keep your eyes out. Remember, my e-mail is Ummeinoko@aol.com and I LOVE e-mail.
