Chapter 4 - a computer, a pencil sharpener, a bucket of water, a book, and food

A crystal. . . a crescent moon. . . a princess. . . a prince. . . a beautiful kingdom. . . a dark moon. . . ruins. . . a silver light. . . and a girl in a Sailor Outfit. . . Heero snapped out of his trance and noticed that the pain had left as soon as it had come. Then he noticed that he felt a lot heavier. He touched his shoulder which hurt because he had fallen on it wrong. Then he realized that something was blocking his hand from his shoulder.

He didn't want to move to fast, worried that the pain might come back. The thing on his shoulder was cold and felt like some sort of metal. He slowly turned his head to see a piece of armor on his shoulder. He stood up and looked in the mirror, He was wearing a suit of armor, no wonder he felt so heavy! The armor was almost transparent, but it was there.

He recognized the armor as the kind that he saw the prince wearing during his vision. He also saw the same glowing light on his forehead. He got his face as close to the mirror as possible to try to make out what that glowing light was. He looked at it, but there seemed to be no definite shape to it. He felt himself get lighter. He noticed that his armor was fading away, and so was that light on his forehead.

He tried to convince himself that he ate something bad and had dreamed the whole thing up, but somehow, he just did not believe himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At dinner the G-boys seemed to stay to themselves, there was still the chance of the girls being enemies, very strange enemies, but still enemies. When Makato brought over the food, Usagi's eyes got bigger then anyone would have though humanly possible.

"Wow, Mako-chan! This looks delicious!" Usagi said.

"Geez, thanks!" She said, "Hope you like it!"

Duo saw the food and he also had his eyes got just as big as Usagi's, and he almost immediately dug in, and he would have if Heero had not elbowed him in the ribs. His first thought was to yell at Heero and ask him what in the world did he do that for, but then he understood. He was waiting to see the girls eat before they ate anything. They did not want to fall for anything as stupid as food poisoning.

As soon as the food was set down, Usagi just dug right in. She wanted everything on her plate, most people would never find enough room to fit all of that food onto their plate that Usagi did. Duo looked at her his stomach growling, she was eating it, it wouldn't be poisonous then, would it? Duo looked at Heero with pleading eyes, could he eat yet? Heero did the tiniest of all nods, but that was all that was needed to get Duo started.

"Usagi!" Rei yelled, "Don't be such a pig! Duo! You too! That is just disgusting!" And then just to make her mad, Duo stuffed even more food in his mouth.

Makato blushed as she looked up to see Wufie eating. She could not tell if he liked it, but he was eating it.

After dinner, they all fought over the bathrooms. There were two bathrooms, one for the boys and one for the girls. All of the girls were fighting over the showers; they were all dirty and sweaty from the ride here.

Later after all the showers were done, they all slowly walked to their rooms. Ami was reading as she walked to her room, it was a book that Quatre had lent her, 'Mobile Suite Technology Information'. Usagi bumped into her, and looked at the title of the book and didn't waste any time in asking how she could read a book with so many big words. Ami tried to explain it, but Usagi, who had trouble just reading a book, didn't get, so she gave up.

Usagi walked to her room, she yawned and stretched. She then noticed someone to her right. It was Heero.

"Hey, Heero!" When he didn't say anything back she went on talking. "Whatcha doin'? I'm going to bed I am sooooooo tiered! *yawn*

Silence was his only answer.

"So where are you going?" Usagi asked Heero. Heero just nodded his head to the door of his room. "Oh, so you are tiered too, huh?"

"The perfect soldier!? No way! He could never be tiered! It just isn't possible!" Duo had come up and invited himself in to the conversation.

"Huh? The perfect soldier?" Usagi asked.

Duo clasped his hands over his mouth, he wasn't supposed to talk about the being a Gundam Pilot in front of the girls, they didn't know how much they could let them know about them! They still didn't know if they could trust them. For all they knew, these girls could be spies to learn more about their weaknesses. They had thought about going somewhere else, but their Gundams were in need of repair and they had no where else to go.

"Uh, it's just . . . nothing! Ignore me! Okay? I'll just . . . go to my . . . room . . . right . . . good night!" Duo started to walk away from them to his room and when he got there, he slammed the door behind him.

Heero started off toward his room but stopped half way. "What did you say your name was again?"

"Uh, it's Tuskino Usagi." She said kind of surprised he asked her name. Heero then walked into his room, not a word to her.

There was something not normal about those girls, and he would find out what it was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Usagi changed into her p.j.s and yawned, she was more than ready to fall asleep. She landed on her soft bed and went under the covers. Comfort swept over her and soon she was asleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wufie for some reason couldn't sleep, so he decided to walk around until he could. He got changed out of what he slept in and then he walked around the base. He wanted to see what it could be hiding, why else would these people be here? The only reason was to catch them off guard and then they would be so defenseless that they would be easily captured. But Wufie refused to let himself even think that might happen to them. There was no way he was going to let his guard down for a minute.

He stopped and listened, he could have sworn that he just heard footsteps from the kitchen. When he sneaked around the corner to see who it was, he found that it was juts one of the girls that had come today. She had brown hair pulled back into a ponytail and green eyes, she was pretty tall, and she was cooking something. She had a lot of stuff around her; he guessed that it was to make whatever she was cooking. He never knew that would take so much stuff to make food. When he got closer, he realized that she was humming a song. He got a closer look and recognized her as Makato.

Makato suddenly looked up, she had heard someone coming, "Hey, who's there?" Wufie walked out into the open. As soon as she saw him, she started to blush, it was the one that reminded her of her old boy friend, "Uh . . . hi. . ."

"What are you doing?" "I'm cooking."

"It's past midnight."

"I know."

"Do you normally cook at one in the morning?"

"No, I just couldn't sleep. Do you normally walk around at 1 A.M.?"

"No, I couldn't sleep."

"Well, there you go; I'm just cooking till I get tired."

"What a girly thing to do."

"Ha. Girly? Me? I think I am going to laugh."

"Huh?"

"At my old school I got expelled for fighting."

"What'd ya do? Pull someone's hair."

"No. I fought with fists."

"So why do you cook?"

"I like to, it reminds people that I am not only good for fighting, even though that is what I am destined to do."

"How do you know your destiny?"

"You wouldn't believe me."

"Try me."

"Would you believe me if I said I went to the future?"

"No."

"There's your answer."

Silence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rei sat in her room. She had a bucket of water, a huge box of reddish pink hair dye, lots of string, and a spoon which she was stirring her brew with. She read the back of the hair dye box.

"One hand full of this stuff? That won't be enough." She poured the whole thing into the bucket, "Too bad I don't have more. . . Duo, you will pay for dumping that water on me earlier. . . ."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ami sat in her bed, doing what else but reading? She was amazed at the technology these days. She also had her mini super computer with her. She was transferring all of this data to her computer.

"This war Setsuna told us about, it must be horrible. These weapons, they are so strong . . . is there anyway to end the war without hundreds of thousands of deaths? No wonder she said that they need to soften up, they fight in the war, and they must have seen so many people die . . . and I too know how hard that is." She said to herself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay, if I just come in at the right time . . . no that would never work." Minako crumbled up and the threw piece of paper she was working on away. She immediately started another. She pushed hard on the pencil tip and started to scheme another plan to get Trowa to notice her. The tip of her pencil broke and she realized that she didn't have another.

"They have to have a pencil sharpener around here somewhere. . ." and with that she started out in search of a pencil sharpener.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heero sat down in front of his computer. He was searching for the words: Tuskino Usagi This was weird. There were no files on her in the past 20 years. It is like she never existed. He used every thing he knew to get information on her. He searched every thing. He extended how far back his, he went as far back as any files could go, and that was really far. Still nothing.

Except for 2,000 years ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*sniff* *sniff* Usagi opened her eyes sat straight up. One word. FOOD! Usagi slipped into her bunny slippers, to match her bunny p.j.s and ran out of her room, she was soooooo hungry! She didn't know the place well enough to know where the kitchen was, so she followed her nose.

She ran into someone on her way there. She immediately recognized who it was by the:

"Hey! Usagi you klutz!" Rei turned on a flashlight to light up the pitch black hallway.

"Rei! What are you doing here?" Usagi looked around, "And with a bucket of reddish pink water, and string?"

"Shhhh! I'd tell you, but you'd tell everyone! What are you doing up?"

"Food."

"I shoulda guessed."

"Do you wanna come with me?"

Rei really was hungry, she was tempted to come back to her work, but then she thought it over, and realized that if she quit for a while, who knows what could happen to her stuff.

"No, you go. I've got to finish this little project up."

Usagi noted that the room Rei was next to was the pigtailed boy.

"Uh, Rei, what are you going to do to him?"

"Oh, nothing. Go eat."

"Right. Food first."

Usagi started down the hall, and saw that Ami's door was open, and light was coming from it. She peeked in and saw Ami working on her computer. No use going in there, she wouldn't understand anything about it anyway. So she just kept going.

Usagi saw a dark outline of someone obviously looking for something. The outline showed long hair and baggy p.j.s.

"Minako? Is that you?"

"Yep. I can't find a pencil sharpener anywhere!"

"Why do you want a pencil sharpener?"

"To sharpen my pencil, of course!"

"Well, why do you even need a pencil?"

"To create my igneous scheme to get Trowa to notice me!"

"I shouldn't have asked." Usagi cemented, "Ami is awake too, she's in her room, and don't mess with Rei, she's making some evil plan to get back at Duo, that pig tailed boy.

"Ami probably has a pencil sharpener." Minako ran off in the direction of Ami's room and disappeared into the darkness, and with that, Usagi started off to find the kitchen. She lifted her nose, the food smelled so close. . . there it was! The kitchen! At the table sat Makato. She had her dreamy eyes on her cookies that she had made. If Usagi could guess what was going on she would guess that she had met up with the Chinese boy, and by the way she was looking at those cookies, he just might have eaten one.

"Hey Mako-chan! Is it okay if I have one of those cookies?" Makato nodded without moving her eyes off of the cookies. So Usagi stuffed a few in her mouth. "So did you see that Chinese boy?" Makato nodded. "Um, so what did you talk about?"

"Stuff."

"What kinda stuff?"

"Cooking, time travel."

"Time travel?"

"Uh, huh."

"You didn't say that we went to the future?"

"Uh, huh."

"What!? Rei and Ami are going to kill you!"

"Uh, huh."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stupid girl. Did she really think that she could make him believe her stupid lies? There was no way she could go to the future! Wufie was walking to his room; he noticed that Heero's door was cracked open. He saw a small light coming from it. He just let himself in; he knew that from the glow of a computer that Heero was not asleep. He walked in further to see Heero typing into his computer.

"What are you doing?" Wufie asked Heero.

"Searching for Tuskino Usagi."

"Found anything?"

"Nothing . . . in the past 2,000 years." Heero answered. One thought went threw his mind: time travel. That was what the girl said. But he refused to believe that. You could not travel through time.

"What do you mean 'in the past 2,000 years'?" Wufie questioned

"There was a Chiba Usagi, 2,000 years ago. She married a guy named Chiba Mamoru. Her maiden name was Tuskino Usagi. Back then Tokyo was ruled by a queen called Queen Serenity. Queen Serenity was a kind ruler of her people and had a kid, named Usagi. She also had protectors with strange magic powers. They were the sailor senshi, but their true identities were found out, and they were Mitzuno Ami, Sailor Mercury, Hino Rei, Sailor Mars, Kino Makato, Sailor Jupiter, and Aino Minako, Sailor Venus."

"That's the name of the girls here." Wufie stated.

"Yes, but there is more. There were other protectors too, but they were to protect the planet from invaders, they did not protect the princess direct, like the others did. They were called the outer senshi. Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and Saturn. Their powers were said to be stronger than those of the inner senshi. Saturn was the strongest, though she was the youngest, she was the strongest with destruction powers that could destroy the world when she brought down her glaive. Sailor Pluto was said to be the guardian of time and a protector of the gates of time. She could see the future, time travel, and live forever."

"This is a legend, right?" Wufie said.

"Not according to these files, but they might be so old that parts of their data might have been erased."

"Time travel. . . Makato said something about it. . ."

"What did she say?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Duo woke up, and he had to go to the bathroom, and a midnight snack would be great right about now. He yawned, stretched, and started walking out of his room. He opened the door. Something cold and reddish pink poured over him. He yelped as the coldness flooded over him. He stood there shaking and shivering, he noted Rei over to his right, laughing. This was war.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Any updates on the crystal, or should I say crystals?" General Zackous asked his scientists.

"The second crystal almost appeared, though, it did not for long. I believe that it had sensed that the other crystal, and was trying to draw power from the first crystal, to energize it more to fight off our dark energy. It may not know that the other one is in the same boat." The scientist reported.

"So, now the two crystals are trying to take each other's powers, how exiting. I can't wait to see how this turns out. Will they in the end fight each other, or us?"



End of Chapter 4

Author's notes~ If you want to know why I said that the last Tuskino Usagi lived 2,000 years ago instead of 3,000, it's because of the Silver Millennium. She lived 1,000 years in the Silver Millennium. Please Review! This is the last of the old chapters, so the next chapters I still have to write and they will be better! So if you review I will type faster!
