Chapter 1 - Alone
Usagi sat alone on her bed in her room. The dim light shining off the crystal chandelier making rainbows appear all over the room. She wore an elegant dress had been in the closet. She had been sitting here for a few days now, dreading when her father would come back in and make her go fight. She had always hated fighting, where had it gotten her? She lost her brother… now she lost all of her closest friends… Her eyes were full of sadness, their normal sparkle gone.
"What am I going to do?" She asked out loud. She had been sitting in the same position for hours now, waiting… not knowing what for… just waiting and remembering everything her and her friends… her and her brother had gone through in the past. She remembered the Silver Millennium as well as all the training her and her brother had gone through, trying to decide who was going to pilot the Gundam. All of the trails they had to go through… all of the brainwashing… the controlling… it was all too clear for her. She closed her eyes, dropping her head into her hands as fresh tears sprang to her eyes, silently slipping down her face. "I have to get out of here…" She whispered, letting the tears fall.

"Hmm… I wonder how the guys are doing…" Quatre said, thinking back to the days of the war. He hadn't seen his friends in almost a year now. After the war was over, they all went their separate ways. He would occasionally get a message from Duo but eventually, his periodic message came less often. Quatre was flipping through an old scrap book, the television blaring in the background. He looked through old newspaper clippings, seeing his buddy, Sandrock… it had been almost a year since they had destroyed their Gundams. Everything was peaceful, Rileena had been forming new ways to maintain the peace. Quatre had been on Earth for nearly two weeks, trying to find his friends, not knowing if they were on a colony or on Earth. He had been unsuccessful in finding any of them.
"A terrible tragedy has occurred today…" The voice of the reporter was saying.
"Terrible tragedy?" Quatre asked himself, glancing up at the television. He picked up the remote, turning up the volume.
"Five students were found dead three days ago. It appears that they were in some sort of battle. Police believe that they were caught in the great explosion that erupted through downtown Tokyo three days ago when Sailor Moon fought a great battle."
"Sailor Moon…" He whispered, seeing a picture of the blond haired heroine.
"You've never heard of Sailor Moon, Master Quatre?" One of his Arabic colleagues asked.
"Yeah, I've heard of her before, who hasn't?" He asked, a smile spreading across his face. "There's just something about her…"
"She is sexy!" One another one of his friends said, looking at the heroine that fought in a mini skirt. "Look at those legs!" A slight blush came to Quatre's cheeks as he looked away.
"Something doesn't make sense, though," Quatre started. "I thought Sailor Moon tried to protect the people. How is it possible that she wasn't able to protect them?"

'I have to get out of here now' Usagi thought as she rose from her spot on the bed. She walked over to the door, opening it a crack. She peeked her head out, seeing only two guards. 'This outa be easy enough. There's only two of them' She thought to herself, cracking her knuckles. 'I haven't fought hand to hand in a long time, though.' She thought, thinking again back to her brother and their training. She silently crept from the room, sneaking up behind the unsuspecting guards. Before they even knew she was there, they were on the ground, unconscious. She took the gun off of one of the guards, tucking it away so it was hidden. She took the other one in her hand, walking through the long silent corridors. 'Hmm… lets see…' She thought as she peeked into a few rooms. This place was bigger than she had previously thought. She managed to find her way to the first floor, ducking into a darkened room.
"This is good enough…" She whispered, only loud enough for herself to hear. She crept over to the window, pushing it up and climbed out. Her feet were lowered to the ground and she jumped down a few feet. She picked up the front of the long dress, running into the darkened wood that surrounded the massive palace.

"Can I help you?" A woman asked a young girl that had come up to the front desk.
"Yes, I need a ticket to the Winner colony." She said in a low voice.
"And how are you paying for this?" She asked.
"Cash." She said, handing the woman some bundled up bills.
"It's not really safe to carry this much cash, you know." The woman said, going through the necessary paperwork.
"That's my business." She said quietly. The lady handed her a ticket.
"Do you have any luggage?" She asked, seeing that the girl had none in her hands.
"…." The girl walked away, heading for the shuttle that would take her to the colonies.
"News flash!" A reporter was saying on the television near the gate to her shuttle. "Princess Usagi, daughter of Mr. Kushrinada has disappeared!!" She heard a few gasps and looked around to see the shocked faces of all the people.
"Do they mean Treize Kushrinada?!?" A man next to her asked in disbelief.
"We repeat, the daughter of Yoshimi Kushrinada has disappeared!!"
"Who's that?" The guy asked as the picture of an older man popped up onto the screen. Usagi hid her face, burying it in the hood of a long cloak she wore.
"We repeat, if you see this girl contact authorities right away!!" A picture of Usagi appeared on the screen and she sunk even further into her seat. Pulling the brown cloak closer to her body, making sure the hood was low over her face.
"Wow, she's really pretty." A little boy said, looking at the picture of the Princess that popped up onto the screen.
"Flight 569 is boarding. Please show your ticket and find your seat in an orderly fashion." The flight attendant said, stepping off of the shuttle. The people filed onto the shuttle, stowing their stuff and finding their seats. Usagi sat down next to a young man in first class with light blond hair, to the point it was almost white.
"Hello," He said, smiling at her. She looked shyly over at him, keeping the hood pulled down over her face. "My name is Quatre Raberba Winner." He said putting out a hand. She took his hand, and he put it to his lips, kissing the back of it.
"It's a pleasure." She said respectfully.
"What brings you to the Winner colony?" He asked.
"Oh, I have to find someone. A dear friend of mine whom I haven't seen in years." She said. 'He's a former gundam pilot' She thought, looking his innocent blue eyes. 'Maybe he can help me find my brother' She thought. She pushed the thought from her mind. 'I can't ask him. He'd take me back for sure. I can't go back… I won't go back!' She vowed herself.
[A.N. Usagi isn't 14 in this fic, she's 17 and the G-boys are 18. I know the story is off, but she didn't become Sailor Moon until she after the war was over. Sorry, it'll fit, I promise (I'll make it fit somehow.)]
