Usagi, Minako and Ami were sitting at a table in the Casino. Only a few hours had passed since the news of the Chang children's kidnapping. None could even imagine why any one would want to do something so awful. Sally and Wufei were taking it terribly. Sally had had to be admitted to the hospital due to the stress. Since she was very pregnant with twins, her health as well as theirs was being affected by such a situation. And Wufei had become a madman. He had stormed around making threats towards whomever had taking them and demanded justice against such a wrong doing. It had taken a while to calm him down and then he had went to the hospital with Sally. Authorities had been called in to investigate. Quatre, Heero, and Duo were with them at this moment.

"I don't understand." Usagi said resting her head against her hand. "Why would someone do this?"

"This is just a sad reminder that there is always evilness out there, Usagi." Ami said softly.

"But those kids were so sweet and innocent." Minako said. "Whoever took them is going to have to pay. Quatre will make sure they're found I know he will."

All three girls lowered their heads in sadness, but when the fourth chair at the table was pulled out and some one sat in it all three propped up to see who it was.

"Setsuna!" Usagi said delighted upon seeing her.

Setsuna smiled and looked to each girl, "It's been a while. Why am I being greeted with such sad faces?"

"Some children of a friend have been kidnapped." Ami informed.

"Oh, thats awful. I'm sorry to hear it." Setsuna said shaking her head.

"Yeah, it's terrible. But why don't you tell us about whats been going on in your life. How is it to be a top fashion designer and getting to travel around the world?" Minako asked trying to cheer up.

"Everythings been great. I've been sucessful in spreading my designs throughout many countries. This is what I've always wanted to do and I'm so happy that my dream has been coming true."

"Wow!" Usagi said smiling. "Thats great Setsuna. I'm happy that you're happy."

"Have you meet any interesting people? I sure have in my training to be a doctor." Ami added.

"Actualy I have, Ami. The last country I visited was ruled under a queen and she herself fell in love with my designs. She's taken me on to be her own personal designer."

"Thats amazing!" Minako said full of awe.

"Truly amazing!" Usagi said happily.

"Well, since you girls sound interested, how would you like to come with me and meet her yourself? She's come to visit this country with me and is staying not too far away from this Casino. I'm sure she'd love the company and we can catch up on everything thats gone on in all our lives. It'll get your minds off of those poor kids for a while, how about it?" Setsuna looked eager and it was very apparent that she truly wanted the firls to say yes.

The three girls looked to each and knew what the other was thinking, they then turned back to Setsuna and all answered at the same time, "Yes!"

Setsuna began to lead the way out of the Casino to her car. Usagi then thought of something and loked to Minako.

"Shouldn't we at least tell the guys we're leaving?"

"Nah." Mina responded simply. "They're pre occupied with other things. And we'll be back before they even know we're gone. Anyways I've got my cell phone. If it starts to get really late I'll just call Quatre and let him know we're out. Ok, Usagi."

Usagi nodded and as she exited the casino she had a feeling that at first suprised her and then made complete sense. She felt the desire to not leave. Sure she was going to be with her friends but there was something almost pulling her back. It was Heero. Heero was here. Therefore that was where she wanted to be. She had told him that she loved him. And she had meant it. As silly as it may have sounded to anyone, she didin't care. It didn't matter that she had practically just met him she knew what her heart told her. But did he love her? She didn't know. He hadn't said anything after she had told him, not that she had expected him to, but she had hoped that just maybe he would have said it back. And their kiss, such a warm kiss, one that she would never forget, their first that she hoped would not be their last.

Usagi took a deep breath and told herself to relax. She was only going to visit, someone, a queen at that. She would be back before she knew it and be able to return to his warm embrace. Setsuna continued to lead the way out to a large parking area and stopped in front of a large limousine.

"This will take us directly to where the queen is staying."

Setsuna opened the door and all the girls got in followed by herself. She gave the shaded window a tap and the driver took off. As the girls looked around the luxiourious limo, Setsuna reached into a small cooler and pulled out delicious looking drinks for each girl.

"Please enjoy." Setsuna said enjoying sips of her own.

Usagi looked at the drink she had been given, it looked so yummy. She took in a few big gulps. It tasted even better then it looked. Ami and Minako were also enjoying theirs. As she polished off the last drop, Usagi felt a little odd. She was becoming tired, very, very tired. She was having a hard time keeping her eyes open. She dropped the cup she was holding and felt her body collapse over. She saw Ami and Minako experiencing the same thing as herself. She was so weak she couldn't move and just wanted to close her eyes and go to sleep. She looked to Setsuna with her last ounce of strength, she wore a devilish smile on her face.

"You'll all be joining the Chang children very shortly." she said coldly.

Usagi felt the darkness close in aroud her. Her eyes closed with the last thought on her mind being, 'Heero'.

****

Heero stood out on the balcony of his and Usagi's room. It was such a nice day, it was hard to beleive that the Changs had been kidnapped. It just didn't fit. Normally he wouldn't have cared, it wouldn't have been his problem. But things had been far from normal these past few days. Usagi had entered his life as well as the Chang children and he cared for them all. Both had taught him.

Quatre stepped out and joined him.

"So, whats on your mind Heero?"

"Alot of things, Quatre."

"Is Usagi one of them?"

Heero looked directly at Quatre, "What?"

"Normally you're an expert at hiding your feelings, but anybody can see that you've got something for her."

Heero looked away and just stared at the openess before him.

"Look Heero, whatever you feel for her is your business, but as a friend I'm going to tell you what Noin told me, 'Be careful.' If not someone's going to get hurt, and it'll most likely be her. You have no idea when she'll get her memories back and you don't know how she'll react to them."

"I know Quatre."

Quatre was a bit suprised and Heero continued.

"Everything is just so right and wrong all at the same time. Given her condition and what I did to her boyfriend I shouldn't have gotten close to her, but I did. Do you know why Quatre? It's because thats the direction my emotions pulled me in. Someone like me and someone like her, it just doesn't seem that you could put the two together, but when ever I'm around her I feel like I've never felt before. I feel happy and wanted."

Heero looked to Quatre again and Quatre looked back at him. He hadn't meant to express his feelings this much but he knew Quatre was the right person to listen. He had started so he might as well finish.

"I care for her like I never thought I could care for another person, Quatre. And I kissed her. I don't know why, but I did and I liked it. She told me she loved me and I couldn't say it back. Do you think its possible Quatre? Can someone like me love?"

Quatre was shocked, he had no idea Heero felt this way. A side of him he had never seen before had just been revealed. The side of him that yearned to love and be loved. A side that Heero himself probably wasn't even aware existed until he had met Usagi.

Quatre began in a calm voice, "Heero, you're a person. All people have the ability to love, but for some it's just harder than others. You are the only person who can make the decision."

Heero returned his gaze to the world before him.

"I know Quatre."

Duo and Trowa made their way out onto the balcony and stood next to Quatre and Heero.

"They're still looking, but no major clues or leads have come up yet." Duo informed.

"Something will come up." Heero said sternly. "Those kids are going to come back soon and safe."

The three looked to Heero a little suprised by his word and then Trowa spoke up,

"Do any of you guys know where Ami is?"

"Oh, your not so secret crush, huh?" Quatre asked smiling. "She's with Mina and Usagi somewhere..."

Quatre's cell phone began to ring, he looked at the screen,

"Well, here's Minako now." He answered it, "Hey..." Quatre stopped short when he heard the voice at the other end and what it had to say. All the color drained from his face which wore a horrified expression and Quatre hung up the phone.

"What is it?" Heero asked.

"Whoever took the Chang children...they've got Mina, Usagi and Ami too. They said if we don't meet them in one hour with no cops...they're all going to die."
