Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing so please don't sue me. I do own my story though.

The characters are probably going to start to get a little out of character now! I apologise for this but the story calls for it. Well, here goes!



Chapter 3-Tears



"Pluto!" Lita and Raye whined to the air. "What if we don't figure it out for ten years?"

"Oh I knew I was forgetting to tell you something," they all heard Pluto's voice and the boys apart from Trowa looked around for the source of the voice.

"If you haven't figured it out by your next birthday you will get your memories back then. Bye now I must go find Serena and Ami."

Quatre was distressed by this news. "A whole year," he whispered. "I have to wait a whole year to find out. It's not fair!" All of the boys jumped a mile as Quatre yelled the last statement and began to back away in case he exploded. (Anything is possible)

Quatre, instead, ran out of the room and disappeared down the hall with tears streaming down his face. Lita and Raye stared after him with matching looks of confusion on their faces.

"It's his birthday today," Trowa explained to them. It was then that Duo realised that there was a problem with all of this.

"Hasn't it occurred that these's a problem with this. There's two girls here, and that other babe said that she was going to find two others but there's five of us." Everyone looked at Duo with shock that he had worked out something like that.

"Yeah, where's Mina?" Trowa agreed, glancing around as though she was going to appear out of thin air. At the mention of her fallen friend's name Lita followed Quatre's example and ran out of the room, the tears in her eyes threatening to overflow.

"What was all that about?" Duo asked.

"Umm, I don't know how to say this Trowa but Mina's dead," Raye began uncertainly as she sat on the couch. "She died two years ago and Lita took her death really hard. She still hasn't gotten over it. I don't know what to do.I don't know what to do." Raye trailed into tears.

Through all the shock, hardships and pain of the past few years she had always been strong, for Lita she had been strong. She hadn't cried since the night it had happened, and now it all came flooding out of her. Wufei looked around uncomfortably as did Heero but Trowa walked over to Raye and put an arm around her.

He held his best friend as she cried out all of her bottled up emotions. As her tears started to slow and her sobs turned to sniffles Trowa looked up and realised that the others were gone.



Duo looked at the crying girl in Trowa's arms and decided that the situation was under control. He quietly left the room and Wufei and Heero both followed his example. As Wufei made his way towards the training room and Heero walked purposefully toward his bedroom (and his laptop) Duo wondered where to go.

He decided to go to the rooftop and sit in his favourite thinking spot to watch the stars and consider the day's events. When he got there he saw a shadow already inhabiting his spot. He felt a strange connection with this girl.

The girl, Lita (he thought), looked in worse shape than the one down stairs. Her hair was a mess, with half of it falling in a tangled mess over her face and she had tears streaks down her face.

But the tears had not stopped. They still stream down her face but she seemed almost at peace. Duo wondered what to do. He wished he were Quatre. 'Quatre would know what to do in this situation.'

As he was standing there, contemplating whether to try and comfort her or whether to sneak back out the way he had come something strange happened. A shooting star flew across the sky, well to a normal person it look like a shooting star but both Duo and Lita knew that it was the planet Venus, and as it flew the girl looked up as though drawn to it.

The planet was gone but in the sky what looked like a hologram of a girl appeared. She had long blonde hair and was wearing a pale orange dress and Duo knew straight away that this was Mina. Then the girl in the sky spoke and Duo was stuck by an unnerving feeling that he knew her somehow.



Okay sorry about this. This chapter was going to be longer but it's nearly 11 at night and I'm getting tired. I really wanted to get this up tonight.

Hope you enjoyed it and please review even if you didn't! It will only help me to improve if you tell me what you don't like. Well until next time TTFN(Ta ta for now)
