As some of you can tell, I've changed my pen name. The old one was one that I had thought of spur of the moment, I had just needed something so I could write, and now I have a new name. ^.^ Also, gomen nasai for taking forever to write this, I was having major writer's block!

Disclaimer- I do not own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing

Usagi awoke slowly and winced when she moved but ignored the pain and sat up anyway. She was in a white room, rather plain but efficient. She noticed her arm was bandaged expertly. "What the…" She exclaimed. She slowly slid out of the bed, and walked out of the room. She saw Trowa sitting reading a book. "Ohayo." She said after she noticed the clock read five am. Trowa looked up at her silently and put his book down before swiftly and silently her got up and went to her side and checked her arm, which needed to be re-wrapped.

He led her silently to the bathroom and had her sit down while he cleaned her wound and re-wrapped it. "Arigatou." She said thankfully while he wrapped it. "Iie, iie." He said. "Oh, so the silent man talks." She said with a smile. "I never said I didn't." He said before making sure her bandage was secure. "Oh? And he even talks back." She said with a grin. Trowa's face stayed impassive as he stood. "You'll be fine, you should go to your classes they start in half an hour." He stated before leaving the room. Usagi shrugged at his odd behavior and left the room for her own. Where she was bombarded with questions from Rei. "Where were you? Did you stay at a friends' house or something? I flipped out when you weren't home when the doors were supposed to lock!" Usagi suddenly felt a pang of guilt for making Rei worry. She'd never really felt guilty before and she wondered why she would feel guilty from Rei of all people. "Gomen nasai, I went out with Haruka and I stayed at my aunt's. I should have called of left a note so you wouldn't worry. I'll do that next time."

Seeing Usagi's apology was sincere Rei's anger filled eyes softened. "Gomen to be such a fuss over this, I suppose it wasn't that big a deal huh?" Serenity smiled and nodded before going to her room to change.

Usagi sat up in bed. When had she fallen asleep? 'After class.' Her mind whispered back. Oh yes, she had come back to take a nap after classes. Usagi made her way to the bathroom and screamed as soon as she glanced into the mirror. She quickly looked around the bathroom once and then back at the mirror. Two faces stared back at her along with her own, both girls with her same face and features. "Nani? What's going on?" Giggle. "I would have screamed when I was still alive." The other girl smiled softly. "I suppose I might have also." The other said softly, her voice soft and serene. "Who-Who are you, are so some sort of illusion or are you a figment of my imagination." Usagi asked touching the glass surface to see her hand touch solid material. "We're just projecting ourselves here Serenity Usagi." The soft voiced Usagi said. "Masaka." Usagi breathed. "Iie, it is possible." The bubbly her now turned serious. "We are you, but we are unable to meld with you so we, in a way just watch over you until you one day will except us." Usagi backed away from the mirror. "What are you? How do I except you? What is your purpose!?" She screamed at the mirror. "We are you. I am the Serenity in you, and this is the Usagi in you, and then there's a little bit of Serenity Usagi in you… it's hard to explain." The serene one said. "Gomen nasai, I'm sure this must be confusing for you, I know I'd be confused. But I must warn you, there is one they call Mamoru… he will not be the one you seek." Bubbly her said with a smile. "Although he is a hunk." She added. "But he is not the one I… you are destined for." The serene one said. "I don't get this, it's all too much." Usagi said stepping away further from them. "Don't worry, it will all make sense in time. Until then, we're going to give you something you may need, you don't have to know how to use it yet." Serene her said. "Just know, that it follows your heart." The bubbly one said. A bright flash erupted in the room and slowly died down until a sparkling gem hovered in mid air, a silvery light surrounded it showing it's great beauty and power. "Take the ginzushou, it will help you when needed." Usagi, unsure of everything just let her heart guide her for once and grabbed the gem and her world went black.

~*~*~*~*

"Usagi-chan! Usagi-chan! Oh please be all right Usagi!" Usagi opened one silver eye and was surprised when she saw the face of Rei above her. "You're awake! Daijoubu ka Usagi-chan?" She asked, her voice quivering with worry. "Daijoubu, Rei-chan." She said with a smirk. "Yokata! I was so worried when I came in and found you passed out!" Usagi sat up slowly. "It's alright, I just passed out. I must not have gotten much sleep last night." Usagi lied smoothly. "I'll go to sleep early." With that said Usagi got up leaving behind a worried and agitated Rei.

Usagi didn't however go to her room to lie down; instead she went to Haruka's room and knocked on the door, only to receive no answer. "Damn it!" She cursed loudly kicking the door. "No need for profanity gorgeous." The voice of Duo rang through her ears and she turned toward him only to see him with Trowa who seemed to be ignoring Duo. "So how's about we go out since you can't find Haruka-san?" Duo said with an inviting smirk. Usagi's eyes flashed angrily and she grabbed Trowa's arm. "Come on Trowa-kun! You promised to take me out for a drink today!" She said letting out a fake smile. "Trowa's face remained emotionless but he nodded, knowing she was trying to ditch Duo and make him mad at the same time.

Usagi dragged Trowa down the hall and stifled a laugh when she heard Duo yell, "Trowa-kun? What about me!?"

~*~*~*~*

Usagi looked over the menu twice before setting it down. Trowa sat there like stone. "You know it won't kill you to eat. Besides, I promise I won't make you pay for the food, I have plenty of cash, plus it's not like it's a date. It's just a way to piss off Duo. He's been following us the entire way you know, and it's pretty obvious when you can see him through the window." Usagi pointed out the window toward the entrance. "He's right there, see him trying to hide under his braid?" Trowa's eye flicked in the direction for a moment before flicking to the menu and then back to Usagi. "I'll eat." He said taking up the menu.

When the waiter came buy, Usagi ordered an enchilada and so did Trowa. "Mexican food's the best, I could eat it all the time." Usagi said leaning back into her seat. Trowa remained silent. "Maybe one day they'll legalize eating dog everywhere." She said. He still remained silent. "Or better yet, rats!" He remained silent. "And then, we can kill the hippo's and put them in a nice tortea." Silence. "And paint them purple!" Silence still. "And then, we can toss in a few penguins too!" Smirk. "Ha! So he does have a sense of humor! You really need to talk more Trowa-kun. You never learn about anything if you don't ask questions." Trowa looked out the window and Usagi frowned. "Guess a smirk doesn't mean he's open to conversation." Usagi mumbled. "Here you are, two enchilada's, two beers and some more chips and salsa." The waiter said. Trowa looked at Usagi as the waiter left. "Yes, I know you didn't order a beer, I ordered it for you." Usagi said with a smile before digging in and taking a few sips of her beer. Trowa however drank his beer a little faster then she did, him being un-used to drinking alcohol. Soon he his eye seemed to droop after she ordered him another beer. "This stuff doesn't do anything." Trowa said after his third beer. Usagi smiled. "Oh of course not. Why don't you have another?"

~*~*~*~*

As the rain poured down Usagi laughed. There was Trowa who no longer had his shirt on, singing "Singing in the Rain". "I have to get you drunk more often!" She said as he started a dance number along with his singing. "Oh my goodness what did you do to him!?" Usagi turned toward the voice of the gentle Quatre. "You mean lately? I kind of got him drunk so he'd talk to me, instead I got him to sing and dance in the rain topless." Usagi said with a grin. "Not to bad a thing for me might I add?" Quatre blushed. "Do you need help getting him inside?" He asked. "Iie, I'll get him inside." Usagi said with a grin. Quatre nodded and walked into the dorm building. "Come on Trowa, let's go inside." Trowa stopped singing and followed her into the building and the pair made it to his dorm room where she helped him inside. "Come on Trowa-kun, let's get you into something else." She said taking him into his room and sitting him down while she looked through drawers until she found clean boxers. "Come on strip out of that stuff and change in-" Usagi blushed and turned around. "What?" She heard him say. "Trowa, I didn't mean while I was in the room." Usagi blushed even more when a few moments later she felt his arms go around her waist. "Why not while you were in the room." Usagi turned to him, her face still burning. "Look, I'm sorry I got you drunk now, so stop it before you do something you may regret." Trowa's green eye bore into her own eyes, until she felt her eyes close and she felt his lips brush against her own for a brief moment before… THUD.

Usagi opened her eyes. Trowa had passed out.
