DISCLAIMER: I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing.
Hi, my friends. I'm back again with another chapter. I know I just gave you one yesterday, but I got a little wave of inspiration. And like before, (this means thought). Here it goes!
Uranus P.O.V.
"Why is the spark plug disconnected? No wonder it doesn't work." Uranus muttered as she picked up her pliers and went back to work on her engine.
"URANUS!"
Uranus jerked her head up at the yell, and banged her head on the hood of her car. "What is it, Laytha?" She asked irritably.
"Dinner's ready." Laytha said as she skipped out, as though she had done nothing wrong. Uranus looked after her. Trowa was still tagging along behind her. (Poor boy.) Uranus stood up and stretched. "Hey, Neptune!" She yelled toward the back.
"I heard." Neptune said softly as she opened the door and put her violin case on the workbench.
Uranus laughed. "I still don't get how you can practice back there with all the noise I make up here."
Neptune returned the smile. "I can practice anywhere. Let's go. Jupiter wouldn't want us to be late for dinner."
Uranus nodded and went to wash her hands.
Saturn P.O.V.
"Maybe this one." Saturn said as she chose one of the cards out of Rini's hand. She frowned as she turned the card around. "I got the joker again."
Rini giggled. "Okay, my turn. Hmmm." Her hand moved back and forth between the two cards in Saturn's hand. "Is it.this one?" She pulled up the one on the right. "Yes! I win again!"
Saturn tossed down her remaining joker card and leaned forward on her hands. "Want to play again?"
"Sure!"
Rini's bedroom door opened and Venus's head popped in. "Dinner time, girls!"
"Yeah!" The two shouted together and rushed past Venus downstairs.
Venus smiled and walked down after them. "Now about Mars and her boyfriend." She pushed through the kitchen door and tugged on Duo's braid as she passed him. He spun around. "I'm gonna go get Mars and Wufei. Wanna come?"
He smirked. "Of course." He followed her out the kitchen door.
"Hurry up, you two, I don't want dinner to get cold!" Jupiter yelled after them.
Duo and Venus raced down the hall. Duo got to the gym first. "Ha, beat you."
Venus gave him a playful punch. "So what?" She turned and peered through the crack between the gym doors. "Hey, check it, Mars and Wufei are both meditating. I didn't know that Wufei guy meditates.Let's go get them."
"Be ready for a long line of insults from Wufei, if you go in there and wake him up." Duo said apprehensively.
"Oh, I'm used to it from Mars. Lucky she's not fire reading, or we'd never get her to wake up. Once she gets into one of those trances. She won't wake up until she's good and ready." Venus laughed as she opened the door.
"She does fire readings?" Duo asked. "What does she read, like, fortunes and stuff?"
"Not for specific people, she just get visions every now and then. Not recently though. Normally she gets the creepy visions right before we get attacked by something, but we must not be fighting anytime soon, because she hasn't gotten a serious vision in a while." Venus walked around the beams and weights and stood in front of Mars. "Wakey, wakey. Mars." Venus reached out and took her shoulder. Mars didn't budge. "Hmmm."
"What do you want, Maxwell?!" Wufei hissed behind Venus.
"Dinner's ready, man."
"Fine."
Duo looked around Venus to Mars. "Well, you going to wake her up?"
"I can't." Venus muttered, frowning.
"What do you mean?" Wufei asked, standing up.
"You try." She stepped aside and waved her hand the sleeping Mars.
Wufei looked at her strangely, and reached out to Mars's shoulder.
Mars P.O.V.
Having resolved the conflict, Mars sat down on the bench behind Wufei, glancing at him pushing against the floor and smiling before she closed her eyes. Normally, she simply concentrated on her power source, the planet Mars, and spent her time slowly pulling power from it. The power came slowly, very slowly, but the trickle did improve her strength little by little.
But this time there was no planet. Mars concentrated harder, looking for the red light of her source, but something stood in her way. She pulled her thoughts into a conscious form and looked up at the block. She silently gasped. It was a huge, black crystal. Other crystals were around it. These ones were spiked out in all directions, and just as black as the single spike directly in front of her. She pulled her power but could not bring it to her. In her thoughts she could not use her power, unless it came from the planet. Mars mentally pushed herself towards the large crystal. (I cannot let it scare me.)
The other crystals responded to her by gathering in closer, and surrounding her. In her mind's eye, Mars saw herself spinning around, surrounded by a wall of black, sparkling spikes. She concentrated harder. (What is this? I must get through it!) Once again she tried to pull power to herself but, once again could gather nothing. (No! What is this?!) Again, she saw herself spinning helplessly in the middle of the sphere of black crystals. They seemed to be closing in on her, squeezing the very air from her.the darkness tore at her, ripping away at her mind.
"MARS!!!" A powerful voice snatched her from the darkness. Her eyes snapped open. They met with a pair of onyx ones, right in front of her. Mars was suddenly very aware of the sweat running down her forehead and the two strong hands that gripped her shoulders.
"Wufei?" Mars's voice shook.
"What happened?" He asked. His dark eyes seemed to envelop her. Dark eyes, such black eyes.
Mars gasped and pushed him away. "No!" The darkness snapped away. He fell away from her and Mars twisted, and fell off the edge of the bench. She lay on the floor taking in ragged breaths.
Venus suddenly appeared at her side. "Mars, what's wrong what did you see?" Venus picked up Mars head and rested it in her lap. "It's okay now. Did you have a vision? It's over now." Venus smoothed Mars's hair and looked over at Duo, sitting next to Wufei, who still sat on the floor where he had fallen. Looking back at Mars, she said, "Mars, we are going to try and stand. Okay? One, two."
Mars rolled over and stood up unsteadily. "I need to talk with the queen. Is she still in her waiting room?" Venus nodded slowly. "Thank you." Mars carefully made her way out of the room, still sweating.
After she left, Wufei stood up. "What the hell happened?" He hissed. "Did she have a nightmare, or some-"
"No." Venus cut him off. "It was a vision. And a pretty bad one at that."
Duo stood up and dusted his pants off. He jerked. "Wait a sec, didn't you say that she got visions when you all were about to be attacked?"
Wufei's head snapped around to Venus. She closed her eyes. "It all depends on what she saw." She shook her head. "The queen will figure this out. Let's go back to the others."
Well, what do you think? A little dramatic, I know, but it sets up the second half of the story. The real action-action won't occur for another few chapters, but don't worry. I will keep you occupied with at least one nice, somewhat romantic scene for each couple. Like before, R&R! See ya next time!
