Sorry it's taken so long to get these chapters out, I'm hoping to be able to get things out at a faster rate soon, but I doubt it because school occupies my time ALL the time. Please Review!

Usagi didn't show any disappointment at Trowa's current state of unconsciousness. Instead she tried her best to drag him over to his bed and drape him unceremoniously over it. She then proceeded to getting him under the blankets and when she was sure he was comfortable she went into his kitchen and grabbed a metal bowel from one of his cupboards and set it next to his bedside in case he had to throw up their Mexican food. After she was sure Trowa was asleep and had everything he needed such as aspirin she went down to her dorm and told Rei she was going to stay at a friends dorm and she grabbed a pillow and blanket and she settled down on Trowa's couch. She fluffed up her pillow and then stretched out on the cushions, which were surprisingly comfortable, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.

~*~*~*~*

Usagi cracked open an eye when she felt suddenly warm, she had dropped her blanket sometime during the night but was too sleepy to look for it on the ground. Usagi opened another eye and heard the sound of a toilet flush and then a gagging sound. Usagi looked over at the clock and saw it read 3am. Guilt began to creep up on her as she heard a pause and then more gagging. Trowa must have been having a great time with his hangover; he had probably gotten up feeling sick and had covered her up before going to throw up.

Usagi pushed back her blanket and walked into the bathroom. Sure enough Trowa was throwing up the contents of his dinner. Usagi moved behind him and rubbed his back as he threw up almost making him jump at her sudden presence. "Sorry I got you plastered Trowa-kun." She said as he began to heave again.

After a few minuets Trowa stopped throwing up his insides and Usagi helped him over to the couch and brought him some water and some breath mints (Throw up breath is nasty!),

She smiled a soft smile at him and helped him back into his room after he had drunk some of the water. "I'll make you breakie to make up for the drinking incident alright?" Trowa gave her one of his rare smiles. "Arigatou." He replied before falling asleep. "You sure are a man of few words." Usagi said looking at his sleeping face. "Yea know, I could learn to love someone like you." She said softly in case he wasn't really asleep. She leaned down and kissed his forehead before she went back to her couch and she fell back into a deep slumber.

~*~*~*~*

Usagi awoke at nine and started making breakfast. After it was made however Trowa still wasn't up so she put it in the oven so it wouldn't get cold and she hopped into the shower.

Usagi scrubbed herself clean with Trowa's soap and Trowa's shampoo before she hopped out of the shower and used Trowa's brush to put her hair up into her normal tight buns. She quickly brushed her teeth using her finger, because she knew Trowa probably wouldn't appreciate her using his own. She then, adorned only in a towel walked out of the bathroom, to be face to face with Duo and Quatre. "W-What are you doing in Trowa's dorm?" Duo stuttered out looking at her open mouthed. Quatre just turned red and didn't say anything. "I was taking a shower, and making him breakfast. Why?" She asked as she went into Trowa's room, where he still lay asleep. Usagi blushed at her response. She knew that Duo and Quatre both probably thought the two were an item now and that she had stayed the night. The thought of Trowa's lips brushing against hers came to her mind and a light blush graced her cheeks. Before Usagi remembered why she was in there, to find some clothes. She looked through his clothes and found a white t-shirt and a pair of boxers that would fit her and she changed into them, hoping he wouldn't mind since that was all she had at the present moment besides some dirty clothing from the night before.

She looked at Trowa's prone form once more before leaving the sanctity of the room and was again face to face with the two gundam pilots. "Gomen, I needed to find something to change into." She said with a nervous smile. "So did you and Trowa sleep together or what?" Duo asked with a cheeky grin. "Actually no, me and Trowa went out and got a few drinks and I got him trashed, so I stayed here and made sure he was alright. Nothing happened between us." Usagi said blushing slightly again when she remembered the kiss the two almost shared. Quatre's face got less red. "That's true, he was drunk, I remember he was singing and dancing in the rain last night." He said thoughtfully. Duo blanched. "Are we thinking of the same Trowa? I mean, SILENT Trowa actually sang and DANCED in the rain?" Usagi nodded. "Yes, now if you don't mind, he's still asleep so you should leave before he wakes up." Usagi said in an annoyed mother type tone. "Usagi-san is correct, we should leave before we him up." Quatre said as he began shooing Duo out the door.

As soon as the door shut behind the two boys Usagi began to walk toward the kitchen when Trowa's open doorway caught her eye. She peeked in but saw no sign of the tall silent boy. "Tro-kun?" She said using a new nickname. She heard nothing, although even if he could hear her she didn't expect him to answer her. She made her way into the kitchen but there was no sign of him. She started her way back to the living room and ran into him on her way, he seemed to have gotten changed and he had a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth. He obviously had forgotten her presence. "Ohayo, I'll warm breakfast up for you." She said hurriedly before turning around and heading back into the kitchen and taking the food she had prepared out of the stove. She made sure it was still warm, which it was besides the bacon, which she had to re-heat, and she then set it down on the table just as Trowa came back. "I hope you like eggs and bacon. There was toast and hash browns but I burnt it… my cooking skills could use improving. Although the eggs and bacon are edible, I ate a little to make sure." She rambled on about the food as he sat down and took a bite. "It's fine." He answered before grabbing some pepper and lightly dusting his eggs before finishing off the meal. Usagi smiled proudly that someone was actually eating her food and gladly took the dishes from him when he was done and she quickly did a load of dishes.

After the dishes had been cleaned Usagi looked around for Trowa and found him in the living room. "I'm going to go back to my dorm, are you feeling a little better?" She asked. "Hai, I just needed some rest." He answered softly. Usagi nodded and gathered up her blanket and pillow before leaving, but not before she made sure she had grabbed her clothes from the bathroom.

As Usagi made her way back to her dorm she could hear Rei inside the dorm room singing loudly to a Backstreet boy song and she cringed. Did she dare go into the creepy room of evil doom? Usagi gulped back her Backstreet boy phobia and entered the room. Rei immediately stopped singing and pretended she wasn't blushing from being caught singing to such a thing. "You're home! I was wondering when you'd show up! Where did you get those boxers?" Usagi smiled. "They're mine, I like to sleep in them." Usagi lied smoothly, for she really did own a few pairs of boxers for sleeping attire. "Ok." Rei said letting the subject go so Usagi had the chance to drop her blanket and pillow off in her room. Usagi changed out of Trowa's boxers and t-shirt and into her normal baggy jeans and black tank top, along with her matching studded belt. "Usagi-chan!" Usagi turned her head from the mirror when she heard Rei's voice come from outside the door. "Hai?" She replied. "I need to go to the mall for a formal dress for the upcoming winter dance, you want to come and help me? You don't have to try any on if you don't want too." Usagi smiled and yelled back. "Sure, I was actually thinking of being social able and going." Usagi said with a devilish smile, maybe Trowa or one of the other boys could get roped into taking her? She quickly made sure her hair was strait before she left the room and the two made their way to a bus stop and waited for the number 33 bus to take them to the shopping district. "This is going to be fun, are you thinking of going Usagi-chan?" Rei questioned with excitement. "Hai, I was thinking Tro-kun or Quatre might take me." Usagi admitted. "Oh really?" Came a new voice. Usagi looked behind her and saw Makoto standing with her arms crossed. "You didn't strike me as the school function type." Makoto said with grin. "I'm not usually, but I thought maybe I'd try it." Usagi said with a smile. "You going to the mall to get a dress too?" Makoto inquired. "Hai, we're going to get our winter formal dresses if we find something we like, is that why you're going?" Rei answered. "Yup, want to go together?" She asked, even though it was obvious she was going to join them. "Sure." Usagi answered.

~*~*~*~*

Usagi tried on a black formal gown, it reached down to her ankles and hugged her slim waist so tight that she thought she might burst, but Rei said she might look good in it so she gave her the benefit of the doubt and walked out. "It looks great!" Rei said with enthusiasm. "Yeah, if you don't want to breath the whole night, come on Rei-chan, pick something else for her to try on!" Usagi groaned, why had she said she'd do this girly thing with them anyway? They had already picked their dressed now she had to find one, black preferably, but none of them seemed to fit her right or they just looked weird on her. "Try this one Usa-chan." Makoto said taking a white dress off the rack, it was absolutely stunning, she had to admit, with it's embroidered top along with beads and white silk draped every which way. "I'll try it on, but I won't get it because it's NOT black." Usagi answered taking the dress. She quickly went into the dressing room and changed out of the tight black gown and into the white satin one.

As she studied herself in the mirror she realized she looked exactly like a princess. Which was not a good thing for she wanted to be walking death at the moment. She walked out reluctantly however and got oh's and ah's from both her friends and people around her. "I won't wear this in public. Usagi said crossing her arms across her embroidered chest. "Usagi-chan! It's so beautiful though! Come one just wear it!" Rei persuaded earnestly. Usagi shook her silver head. "Iie!" Rei saw fire. "Usagi no baka! You will wear that dress! It's absolutely gorgeous, and it looks even more gorgeous on you! So wear the damn dress!" Usagi looked at her hot-tempered friend with blank eyes and finally nodded and went into the dressing room to change before purchasing the dress.

~*~*~*~*

Usagi came back to the dorm to try on her clothes again; she wanted to make sure for the fifth time that the white dress fit. She didn't really want to wear white at all. She set her bags down on her bed before changing into it. It looked absolutely perfect. The dress place had said it was a one of a kind item and the woman who had been designing most of the dresses in the shop had recently passed on so the dress was one of a kind. As she looked into the mirror the silver haired Usagi materialized in the mirror, her face and features began to mirror her own. "You're starting to look like me again. Perhaps you'll end up like me." She said with a smile. "Nani?" Usagi jumped in fright and fell off her chair. "Or perhaps not." The other her said. Usagi got back on her seat and looked at the other Usagi. "I thought you guys were just a dream." Usagi said touching the cold glass. "Iie, we're real, but Usagi is resting so I materialized when I saw you're dress, it's identical to mine." She said pointing at her dress. Usagi nodded. "Hai." She said looking down at it. "I hope accept us soon, I don't like living in limbo, and as soon as you accept us I can let Usagi meld with me and then we can be graceful and fun loving, and a great warrior." Usagi nodded as if she understood the other hers words even though she didn't. "I hope I understand what you're talking about soon." She said before turning from the mirror. The other Usagi dissipated.
