Author's Note: Well, hope you liked that last chapter and hope you like this next one! Man, these chapters are getting really long compared to the other chapters in my other stories. I'm to lazy to compare the votes for this chapter, but I'll count them eventually when I get to the 5th chapter. Ok? School totally sucks…
One more thing, in the 2OTH CENTURY, the girls were in the middle of their school year, now in the FUTURE, they are just starting school. Ok?

Ch. 3: "Confusion"
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
"Have you located it yet?" Asked a deep, demanding voice.
"No, I'm sorry doctor, I haven't—"
"Cut the excuses! Kaori Night and the Witches Five failed me before, but they knew where the Chalice was! Next time I come back, it better be located." The voice said as it echoed through the room.
"Well, I'm sorry! I'm not as experienced as them! I am a princess and rule through pacifism, and here you're making me do the opposite?"
"You do not have a choice, you must complete this mission now or the consequences will come in for failing. You are a disgrace to me. I want it located!" The spirit said as it vanished.
"How did I get into this mess?" Relena asked bitterly as she searched for the Purity Chalice through her computer.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
The week that the girls spent at the Peacecraft Academy flew by fast, and now another school year was about to begin.
Usagi wrinkled her nose as she held up her uniform that she was supposed to wear the next day. "You've got to be kidding? We have to wear this? She has so much money and here she blows it on ugly uniforms? Can't she get nicer ones?"
"Well, I definitely agree with you Usa. The uniforms we had back in Tokyo at least looked normal." Minako said as she also stared at how ugly the uniform in front of her was. She was with Usagi since Ami and Rei were at the library, Luna and Artemis were in her [Minako] dorm, and Makoto was making lunch and literally chased Usagi and Minako out of her kitchen since they were demolishing everything in their site.
"I miss the 20th century. I miss Mamoru, I miss Motoki, I miss the arcade, I miss my family, and can you believe it, I even miss the detentions Miss. H. always gave me!" Usagi said as she started to tear up.
"Hey, don't start, you don't want Rei to call you a wimp and a cry baby, do you? I think not. Hey, where's Heero?" Minako asked.
"Why would you want to know?" Usagi asked curiously, than got a sly look on her face. "Ha! So that's who you like!"
Minako backed away from Usagi in shock. "What?!?!? The cold-hearted guy? No-way! I like Du—" Realizing what she was about to say, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Mianko, you only missed a letter! Let me guess who it is…Duo!"
"YOU BETTER NOT TELL!" Minako threatened as she held Usagi by the collar.
"Ah, I won't, just let me go! Minako…I…can't…breathe!" Usagi said as she was relieved that her friend finally let her go and that she could breathe again.
"Sorry…"
"Hey, what are friends for? Would I ever tell?" Usagi asked.
"I don't know…actually, yeah, you would." Minako mumbled.
"I did not hear that, and—" Usagi said with a frown.
"Hey, I'm not the Goddess of Love for nothing! I can scheme…I always get my way." Minako said devilishly as she clasped her hands together and thought.
"Uh…earth to Minako! Lunch time!!!" Usagi said excitedly.
"Lunch! Yeah, let's go Usa! I'm starving! I think I've hung out with you for way to long!" Minako said as she ran out of Usagi's dorm and into hers.
"You've got till eternity!" Usagi said happily as she followed Minako into her dorm and was surprised and happy to see the five guys she met earlier on that week that they were able to join them for lunch.
"Hey guys!" Usagi and Minako greeted.
"Hey Usagi, Minako!" Duo and Quatre greeted back. The other three just nodded their heads.
"Rei, Ames, how's it going?" Usagi said as she asked her other two friends. "Mako, thanks for lunch and all the other meals and snacks you make for me!"
"No problem Usagi." Makoto smiled back at her friend.
"Minako, you are so lucky!!! You're around Mako 24/7!"
Minako giggled. "I know."
"Odango, we just saw you this morning. Not much can happen in two hours!" Rei said as she rolled her eyes.
"Geez Rei, just being nice." Usagi scowled, then turned her attention on Ami. "Ami, how are you since I saw you this morning?"
"I'm fine Usa, thanks for asking." Ami answered as she looked up from her book that she was reading.
"How's everyone else? I'm expecting an answer from everyone in this room." Usagi said as she hinted towards Trowa and Heero.
"I'm fine. Glad I can have lunch with 5 lovely ladies." Duo said which made the girls blush.
"I've never been better." Quatre replied.
"Weak onna." Wufei mumbled from where he was sitting on the floor.
"WHAT did you say?" Rei asked since she was the closest one and heard him clearly.
"I said 'weak onna', onna." Wufei answered.
Rei ganged up on Wufei. "Don't ever call me or my friends that EVER again, cause let me tell you, were five of the strongest women in this whole universe."
"Really?" Wufei asked with interest.
"Yeah, do you want me to prove it to you?" Rei asked with fire dancing in her eyes.
"REI!" The other four girls shouted, then Rei drew back.
"Some time later." Rei said as she walked away from Wufei and towards Ami.
'Strange onnas…it's like their all hiding something.' He thought as he observed the glares Rei was getting from her friends. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" She said quietly.
"Rei, NEVER let it slip again!" Makoto warned her.
"I know, I'm sorry." Rei mumbled.
Usagi saw the tension around the room, as if the guys were observing the scene around them, actually, they were observing the scene around them. She took the liberty to lighten the tension in the room and started the chatter again. "So, Trowa, Heero, still haven't heard a word from you two yet."
"……" Was what she got from Trowa.
"Trowa…" Usagi said as she walked toward the tall boy.
"Fine." He answered.
"Ok, your turn Heero!" She said as she faced him.
"Hn."
" 'Hn' doesn't count as a word." She lectured. "Any other words that you speak?"
"I'm doing fine, don't bother me." He said and resumed back to whatever he was doing.
"Gee, you guys SURE are a talkative group, excluding Quatre and Duo." Usagi joked.
The group of ten sat down around the small table and ate the lunch that Makoto made. They talked, well the girls, Duo, and Quatre, and the other three just listened. Some more time past and the first day of school arrived.
Usagi looked at the rose in the vase, still as beautiful as the day she received it. "Mamoru…wait for me." She then got dressed into her uniform, and stalked out her room with her supplies in tow in her bag.
"Why oh why can't she get better, nicer, uniforms?" Usagi asked the person in the kitchen, who was Heero. "You know her better then me, can you talk to her for me? Oh, but don't tell her I said that her uniform's ugly."
"No. I will not speak to Relena." Heero answered as he drank his orange juice.
"Why not? She seems to like you." Usagi said as she stuffed a piece of toast into her mouth and glanced at the clock, which read '8:15'. She looked back at Heero and received a glare from him.
"What? Doesn't she?"
"She might like me, but I despise her." Heero said as he got up from his seat.
"Why?" Usagi asked as she followed Heero out the door.
"Because she is a damn, annoying onna. She's Relena."
"She didn't seem that bad when I met her. I don't know how she acts around you guys though. Look, it's the others! Morning!" She said as she and Heero met up with the group.
"Morning Usa, not used to 'this' uniform that I'm wearing." Minako complained.
"It doesn't look that bad on you, you still look beautiful in it." Duo told Minako with a smile.
"Thanks. You don't look that bad yourself." She said as she smiled back at him.
'Hm…Matchmaker Usa would do good things at the moment, but Minako told me to back off. It's totally obvious that she and him are into each other! Look at them!' Usagi thought as she observed the unofficial couple. 'Speaking of couples, Quatre and Ami are into each other to, but their just to shy. Rei and Wufei, even though they 'hate' each other, I know there's a flame inside each of them for one another…and Makoto and Trowa? She can handle everything herself. I'll handle things with Ami and Quatre, then maybe I can move onto the rest of the bunch.'
"Isn't it great that we all have the exactly same classes together?" Quatre asked Ami,
"Yeah, it's great to know some people that we have in our classes, excluding the girls." Ami finished with a smile.
"So then…what class is first? I can't remember." Rei asked the group.
"Math." Wufei told her, since all the others were busy talking with one another.
"Thanks Wufei." She told him with a smile.
"Anytime…Rei." Wufei said as he sighed in defeat. He didn't want to mess with this 'onna'.
"Very good Wufei, you can say my name now, how about the others?"
"Fine. ONLY you and your friends get the special treatment from me, all other onnas will be left being called onnas."
"That's alright with me." Rei answered. "I don't know any other people here except for you guys and Relena. How about you start—"
"No." Wufei said. "That onna will always be called an onna."
Rei let him win this time since it was to early to argue. "Fine."
"So Trowa, does your hair do that by itself or do you use gel?" Makoto asked with curiousity.
"By itself."
"You are a man without many words I'm guessing. You should show your eyes more, they make me feel so…safe." Makoto said as she stared ahead.
"Really?" He asked. 'Why does she make me feel what I feel?'
"Yeah…there's just something about you Trowa." She said as she stared at him, and whispered to him. "You're special." With that, she walked towards Usagi and started to talk to her.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~
"Class, we have five new students." The teacher pointed to the five girls. "From the right to the left, they are: Usagi Tsukino, Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino." The girls got many catcalls form the guys in the class, and the five pilots just scowled at their stupidity because these girls would never go for them. Usagi was taken, and the other girls seem to be half taken. The girls just smiled back at the boys. "You may take a seat in the back as you can see."
"Thanks." The girls replied and hurriedly walked towards the back of the classroom, where the pilots were since they planned everything out already and saved seats for the girls.
"Miss Relena will arrive in five minutes, and while were waiting, I'll start teaching."
'No, I hate school!' Usagi scowled, then was thankful that Relena was early, but she looked…different.
"Good morning class! I would like to begin by telling some…"
Usagi, who was sitting beside Rei, heard her gasp and turned to look at her. Ami did the same since she was on the other side of her. She scribbled down on a piece of paper. 'What's wrong?' And held it in front of Rei's face, but she got no answer.
"Ami." Usagi mouthed, and knew something bad was happening. The pilots, who were sitting in the next row right behind them, saw what happened. They had no clue what was happening in front of them, but kept their attention on the girls; they couldn't hear them talking though.
"Rei." Ami whispered and shook her friend, and luckily she came crashing back down to earth.
"Ami. Usagi." Rei said as she looked at the two people beside her.
"What's wrong?" Usagi whispered.
"I…had a vision."
"Vision?" Ami asked quietly.
"Yeah…" Rei said as she thought about what she saw.
"Scout meeting; Rei and Ami's dorm." Usagi scribbled down on a piece of paper and passed it to Makoto and Minako. They both nodded their heads.
"…world will be destroyed if we don't find the chalice…" Rei said quietly as if she was in a trance.
"Rei!" Minako whispered.
"…have to find chalice…" Rei said as she stared at nothing.
"Rei…" Makoto whispered worriedly.
Luckily, Rei snapped out of the trance and smiled at her worried friends. "What?" She asked quietly.
"We'll tell you tonight." Ami told her, then turned her attention back to Relena.
The pilots were all confused. Sure, they all heard Rei gasp and saw the note Usagi held up to her face, but they were confused. These girls were hiding something and they were bound to find out, no matter what.
