Hello again! I'm updating, oh yeah, oh yeah! Can you tell that I'm hyper or what? Me very happy because me just bought a really nice DVD with Endless Waltz on it so now I might know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I'm on a roll with this one! I need an idea for a Duo/Usagi story, so if anyone has some suggestions... let me know. I've got an idea "brewing", but I'd love some input.

Please review, or there'll be no more chapters.

"What are you doing here?" Usagi asked.
"I could say the same to you." Pluto said. "I'm here to take you home." Usagi stepped back.
"What?" she asked, shocked. "Iie, iie, I can't go back. O-negai, don't make me go back!" she cried, tears streaming down her face.
"You have to. Dimando has come and the Senshi are about to fight him. They're weak enough after fighting the Sisters and Rubeus and Emerald, you can't make them fight alone. They still have to fight Dimando and the Wise Man." Pluto told her. "You have to go back."
"Pluto-sama..." Usagi begged. "How can you make me go back and fight? I can't even see!"
"She can't go." Wufei said sternly, stepping up to stand next to her. Pluto looked surprised.
"And I suppose you're going to stop me?" she asked.
"Pluto!" Usagi reprimanded.
"Gomen, Usagi-hime, but you have to go back."
"SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Wufei exploded. Then he calmed slightly. He took Usagi's hands in his. She turned her head away from him.
"I'm sorry, Wufei. I have to go. Pluto's right- my friends will die if I don't." she apologized. Duo rolled his eyes.
"You're always more worried about your friends than yourself! Even when Endymion was beating the crap outta you, all you could think about was your friends!" Duo said. Quatre moaned.
"What?" Usagi asked.
"Last night they visited the Silver Millenium in their dreams. They saw one of your memories." Pluto told her.
"How do you know?" Wufei asked. Pluto waved the question off.
"What memory did you show them, Pluto?" Usagi asked frantically. Pluto hung her head slightly.
"What happened at and after the ball... The ball two months before the Siege that was held in honor of you and Endymion's betrothal." she said. Usagi's jaw dropped a bit.
"Not the one- You didn't show them- Did you?" she asked.
"Hai." Pluto answered.
"You have a really big mouth." Trowa informed Duo.
"How could you let them see that?!" Usagi demanded.
"I thought it would help them understand you better." Pluto said.
"They can't understand, Pluto! They don't know who I am, how can they?" Usagi asked. Wufei pulled her into a hug. "How can you understand?" she asked him.
"Tell us, Usagi. Please, don't go." Wufei faltered in his words. "I love you, Usa. Please don't leave me. Don't leave us." he begged. Usagi hugged him back.
"I love you, too, Fei." she replied.
"You don't seem to understand, Wufei." Pluto said. "It's her destiny. She has to go back. This was all planned for a reason."
"Planned?" Trowa asked.
"Hai. It's for her own good that she came here. She met Wufei so that when she goes back to Mamoru, or Endymion as you know him, she'll know how good she has it."
"Did you plan for her to be blind, too?" Quatre demanded mockingly, not expecting the answer she gave.
"Hai, unfortunantely." Pluto said. They were shocked. "Her sight will be returned when she goes home. I only faked the youma so that she would think it was natural. I thought it would be easier if she couldn't see you all. Then when she goes home she can't hang on to the memory."
"But once she has her sight back she can come back and see us, right?" Duo asked.
"Not exactly, Duo." Usagi answered. "See, to go 'home', I have to leave this place entirely." She could almost see the confusion on their faces.
"Usagi is a soldier of a different kind. She is from another time." Pluto supplied. Wufei gripped Usagi even tighter.
"Somehow I believe it." he said. "I don't want to lose you." he whispered in her ear as he held her against his chest. "Please don't leave me."
"Who are you, Usagi?" Hiiro asked. Her eyebrows raised in surprise.
"I can't tell you... If you know it'll just make it harder. Please," she turned her attention back to Wufei. She kissed him on the cheek. "Please, let me go back. My friends will die if I don't help." Her usually blank eyes implored him to let her go. Wufei looked from her to Pluto and back.
"Will you at least give her back her sight now?" he asked. Pluto shook her head. "Please!" he begged her.
"Please," his voice softened. "I just want her to remember me."
"I'm sorry." Pluto said. "I'm sorry any of you had to go through this." She turned to Usagi.
"I can grant you one thing." she said. "As long as Usagi swears she will not interfere with her destiny any more."
"I swear it." Usagi replied immediately. Pluto nodded.
"Very well." the tall Senshi said. She waved her Time Staff in the air and six laptops appeared. Each one belonged to one of the pilots, and one they did not reconize. Hiiro started when he saw his most prized possession floating in midair.
"Don't worry, Hiiro. Nothing is damaged. I've merely put in an email program in each computer that will allow you to contact one another and Usagi even across the time gap. Alright?" she asked. Usagi hugged her. The laptops vanished back to their rooms.
"Thank you so much, Pluto." she said. Pluto smiled as, one by one, each pilot also thanked her.
"It is time." she said. Usagi ran around quickly and hugged each one.
"I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to know you all better." she told them. Wufei caught her up in his arms.
"I'll find a way back to you, I promise!" she said, only loud enough for him to hear.
"Let me know if I can help." he replied. The two kissed for a minute, just long enough for Pluto to get embarassed and impatient.
"Don't forget about Mamoru, Usagi. Come on." she commanded, opening the portal. Usagi sighed, wishing once more that she still had her sight, and disappeared through the swirl of energy. Pluto looked around at them all.
"You have done me a great favor. Thank you." she said, before following Usagi. As soon as the portal disappeared, Wufei did something none of them had ever seen him do-
He broke out in tears. Wufei sank back down into the chair he had been sitting in earlier. Hiiro disappeared, wanting to make sure his beloved laptop was alright.
"Are you going to be okay?" Quatre asked. His empathy was working overtime. Wufei's shoulders shook; he buried his head in his hands. He shook his head slowly.

"Usagi!" the Senshi cried. She blinked, she could once again see the world in color. She quickly assessed her surroundings. She was dressed in her fuku and stood with them in a semi-circle in front of a huge crystal that was at least a hundred feet high. The others were looking tired and worn from the effort of fighting Dimando's minions who surrounded them.
"Where is he?!" she demanded. Venus pointed to an opening at the base of the crystal. Usagi approached it.
"Where are you going?" Mars demanded. She spun around. They continued to fight off the youma while talking to her.
"I'm going in there to bust Dimando's ass so I can go home already!" she cried. The others smiled.
"We're sorry about everything!" Mercury yelled. The others called out their own apologies.
"We can talk later, I promise." she told them, and then entered the crystal.
"Dimando?! Dimando!" she yelled. A hole opened in the floor and she fell through it.

"Ouch!" she exclaimed as she landed on the black marble floor.
"Hello Sailor Moon." Wise Man greeted her.
"Where's Dimando?" she asked as she jumped up.
"I got rid of him. He's weak. I did not need his help." he said.
"So I'm just here to beat you down?" she asked.
"If you think you can." he replied. "But before you do, I have a proposition for you."
"What could think of that I would want?" she asked.
"I can send you back to him. You know you want to go. You haven't seen him for ten minutes and already your heart is breaking. I can make your deepest desire a reality."
"What's the catch?" she inquired, skeptical.
"You must give me the four Inner Senshi." he said. After a moment, she replied.
"You've gotta be kidding me! The Senshi hurt me and betrayed me, yes, but they are still my best friends. I love Wufei but I am content to be away from him if it will keep him safe and happy." she said.
"Very well. Die." he retorted, sending energy flying at her. She cried out in surprise, but reacted quickly and met the energy with her own.

"She left." Wufei said again.
"That's the thousandth time you've said that." Duo commented. Wufei sat, staring dead ahead, a look of utter misery in his eyes and across his face.
"She promised she'd come back, remember?" Quatre tried to console him. Wufei nodded, a small smile crossing his face briefly.
"Don't worry, Wufei. Usagi isn't one to break her promises." Trowa said.

Sailor Moon rejoined the other Senshi a few hours later. As she hauled herself out of the now-shrinking crystal, they rushed to her and enveloped their 'lost' sister in a huge group hug.
"Where have you been?" Jupiter demanded.
"I left for awhile." she replied.
"We are so sorry, Usagi. We shouldn't have said what we did." Mercury said.
"I guess we all got PMS at the same time or something." Mars added.
"Can you ever forgive us?" Venus asked. Sailor Moon tapped her chin for a moment. Then a huge grin spread across her face.
"Of course I can!" she exclaimed. The hugging and tears began again.
Eventually they detransformed and left, heading back to Rei's shrine, stopping by Usagi's house first. Usagi took a deep breath before she rang the doorbell. Her mother answered.
"Usagi why are you ringing the doorbell? Come inside already!" Ilkuko told her. Confused, Usagi did as she was told. The other four girls followed her.
"Why didn't you call and tell me that you were back early?" Ilkuko asked.
"Huh?" Usagi replied.
"If you had called me from school I would have come and gotten you. I knew you were getting back from that math camp today." she said. Usagi raised an eyebrow.
"Oh- yeah, yeah, sorry. I forgot to call you. Besides, I was having fun with my friends. Can I sleep at Rei's house tonight?" she asked.
"Well, school is out for vacation, and you did survive that math camp. I guess you should be allowed to have fun this summer." her mother said.
(AN: Yes, I know that in Japan kids go to school year-round, but in this fic their schools are going to be more like American schools, kappeish?)
"Great! Thanks mom!" she cried before they all thundered upstairs to Usagi's room.

Twenty minutes later, they called goodbye and left the house, walking over to Rei's temple where the others girls were already staying.
The girls stayed up until the early morning, remembering other times and laugher over new jokes. Finally, Usagi got the courage to bring up a subject she had been intentionally avoiding.
"Guys..." she began. The laughing stopped. She had their attention. "Where's Mamoru?" she asked. None could meet her eyes.
