Hello everyone! School's out! Yes I'm so happy! I'll probably be writing more since
my dad doesn't care how long I'm on. (Readers cheer)

Disclaimers: Don't believe in them any more. But I do own Stefan, Nat, Stasia and,
Bonzai and Necco so (blows raspberry).

Recap:
Usagi giggled and said "Seiya I want you to meet a couple of people. This
is Heero my fiancee`, Quatre my older brother, Trowa Quatre's boyfriend, Wufei
Mako's husband, and Duo." Seiya grinned and said "Pleasure to meet you," and
he gave the most extravegent bow a centaur could do. "So Usa, was Rei right when
she said you were pregnant?" He asked.
Usagi nodded and smiled. "Well congradulations to you and Heero from
the entire centuar nation." Seiya said "Now I must go and see a man about a horse."
Everyone laughed and he waved good bye and galloped off towards the centaur
camp.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Now the story~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Usagi showed them around camp and showed them where their tents were.
Mako and Wufei were sharing a tent (Obviously) Duo had his own, but looked like
he and Minako would be sharing a tent soon, Quatre and Trowa were sharing a tent
and of course Heero was with Usa. After they had settled in Usagi had led them to
the village square. Nat started jumping up and down in front of a aqua haired women
yelling "Can I beat the drum? Can I beat the drum?"
The women laughed and nodded. She came over to Usagi and gave her a
hug as Nat started beating the heck out of the drum. Usa laughed and hugged her
back. "Hey Mickey. Hows it been with out me?" They parted and the women Usagi
had refered to as Mickey shrugged and answered "Well about 8 of us had to hold
Haruka back from taking off to go kill Heero after Rei told us the news this morning.
She didn't take it to well." Usagi shook her head and said "Well she's going to have
to get used to it."
As if right on cue someone yelled "Heero I'm going to kill you!" Usagi
sighed and stopped a sandy haired women from attacking. "Haruka stop it," she
growled "I'm not in the mood right now." The women Haruka glared at Heero and
stalked off. Usagi shook her head and turned to the rest of the tribes that had
gathered infront of the platform that they were standing on. "I'm baaack." Usagi
said. The tribes let out a cheer. As they quieted down some one yelled "Did you get
the Chinese Amazons?"
Usagi nodded and answered "Yes I did they'll be here in two days. That
giving us enough time to plan a way to kill The Freak." They let out another cheer.
Usagi smiled and then someone else yelled "So it's true that you're engaged and
pregnant?" Usagi laughed and nodded again. "Yes it's true. But we'll discuss that
after we get through this war. Now I want 30 sentries on the perimeter of this camp
every second of the day. I don't want a single Mocotep to get through."
They all nodded and Usagi called the names of the first sentries. After
she had gotten all of them she said "If you even smell a Mocotep wich would
probably be preety easy seeing how they never bathe," This brought up a laugh from
the crowd. "I want you to shoot an arrow with a purple thread on it to this pole." She
motioned to the pole behind her. The sentries nodded and took off. "Now every
3 hours we will change sentries. By tomorrow I'll have a list of the sentries posted."
Everyone nodded and went about their buisness. Nat came running up to
Usagi and asked "Can I go play with Seiya?" She nodded and as Nat started running
off Usagi yelled after her "Aslong as he doesn't gallop with you on his back." Nat
stopped and said "Rats." And took off again. Everyone laughed and they all went
off to do there own things leaving Heero and Usagi alone.
"I need to talk to Haruka. Try to get her to come around." said Usagi
"Can you wait for me in our tent?" Heero nodded and went into their tent to read.
Usagi walked of in the direction that Haruka had stalked off to. It took her to a
water fall by the camp. Haruka was sitting on the cliff that the water went off. She
jumped up when she heard Usagi's foot steps. She scowled at her and sat back down
watching the sun set behind the mountains.
Usagi sighed and sat next to her. "Please go away Koneko-chan." Haruka
asked quietly. Usagi shook her head and said "No. Not until you tell me why you are
so pissed at Heero?" Haruka sighed and said "Because I don't want him to take you
away! Thats why I hate him!"
"Haruka don't use that word. You know I don't like it." Usagi said sternly.
"And you knew that I was going to go away eventually. And he'll never completly
take me away from the tribes. Surely you know that. No one can ever take me away
from them." Haruka looked down and said "I know that but how can I not be scared.
You've been with us for how many years. You've become part of all of our lives. And
even Heero though it pains me to say it. But to have you taken away from us would
put us all into turmoil."
"Haruka my old friend I'm leaving Mako as my succesor. With her things
will be like I never left. You don't really think that I'd leave it to someone like Mina
do you?" Usagi said. This brought a watery laugh from her. Usagi looked closely at
Haruka and asked "Haruka Tenoh, are you crying?" Haruka shook her head and
said "No." Usagi looked at her with her lips pursed and her arms crossed. "Yes. I
can't help it though. All this is so moving."
Usagi laughed and said "I can't believe it. Haruka the Rock is crying. I
never thought that I'd see the day." Haruka laughed again and Usagi stood up. "Are
you coming to the celebrations?" She nodded and got up as well. They walked back
to the village and Usagi stopped by her hut. Haruka looked at her puzzeld and Usagi
pointed a finger to go inside. Haruka grimaced and ducked inside as Usagi followed
her.
Heero was laying on some pillows with his nose in a book as they came
inside. He looked up at them and stood up. Usagi elbowed Haruka and she grumbled
"I'm sorry. I hope we can be friends again." and stuck out her hand. Heero took it
and shook it. They walked out side to the square where the celebrations were
starting. Usagi jumped up on the plat form in front of the bonfire and waited for
scilence. When she had it she said "The next women are taking the sentries spots in
two hours. I'll let you know when. Now let the celebrations begen!" and she jumped
down from the platform.
Everyone cheered and some women started playing some instruments as
all the other women started dancing around the bonfire. Some of Usagi's friends
pulled her up and laughing she got up and joined the dancing. Heero watched her from
the side with Quatre and Trowa talking quietly with Mako and Wufei on one side of
him and Duo flirting shamlessly with Minako on the other. A while later Mako left
and came back with Rei and a women with long dark green hair and lots of food.
Duo and Mina got up and ran over to the table where they had set the
food and started scarfing it down. Heero shook his head and laughed. Usagi came
back and pulled him up to go eat. He put his arms around her waist and whispered
in her ear "That was a nice show, why don't you do that at home?" She blushed and
whispered back as they walked towards the table "Because there was never a reason
to. That dance is something you do with your tribe when someone is engaged."
Heero muttered "I should have proposed earlier." Usagi laughed. The
green haired women came over. "Sestuna how are you?" Usagi said. Setsuna
shrugged and answered "Alright I guess. I could be better." Usagi nodded and
answered "I know you miss Stefan. But I was going to try to contact him tonight after
the celebration." Setsuna smiled and said "Here I am complaining about not seeing
someone when it's your engagement party. Congragulations you two."
She walked off into the night. Usagi looked after her sadly. "Who's this
Setfan?" Heero asked. Usagi wrapped her arms around Heero's arms which were
still around her waist and answered "Stefan is her mate. Right now he's helping Ami
with the research on Nat's disiese because he's a total genius and she really misses
him. So hopefully they'll have found something by now so they can come home."
Heero nodded and they got their food and went and sat down over by the
platform. Usagi was just about to take a bite of some sort of meat when a hawk flew
over head and landed on her shoulder. Usagi looked up at it and surprised she said
"Bonzai what are you doing here?" The hawk squaked and held up one of his legs.
Tied to it was a note. Usagi untied the ribbion and started reading it. Bonzai squaked
again and Usagi absentmindly gave him the meat that she was about to eat.
Suddenly she jumped up and yelled "Nat! Nat!" And ran off towards the
centaur camp. Puzzeld some of the others followed. When they got there Nat came
running up and said "What is it Usa-momma?" Usagi knelt down and said "Ami and
Stefan found a cure for your disiese!" Nat started jumping up and down and Usagi
swept her up and swung her around. Nat hugged her tightly around the neck.
"Oh my baby I'm so happy." Usagi whisperd in her ear. "Me too
Usa-momma. Me too." Seiya came running up and asked "Whats going on?" The
two girls looked up at him and Usagi threw the letter at him. He caught it and read it
puzzeld. His eyebrows shot up and he started yelling "YES! YES! YES! YES!" The
rest of the Amazons had come and so had come the centaurs. Nat jumped down from
Usagi's arms and ran over to Heero yelling "Heero-poppa I'm going to be O.K.!"
He picked her up and swung her around while everyone started cheering.
Nat had always brought happiness and hope to their lives since the war had started.
Finally everyone had calmed down and went back to their own villages. Usagi picked
up the paper that Seiya had dropped and finished reading it. It said that they would
be home the next day and they had better have a welcoming party.
Usagi walked back to camp and found Setsuna standing by a tree watching
the celebrations. Usagi tapped her on the shoulder and handed her the letter silently
and walked away. Usagi grabbed Heero's hand and pulled him to their tent. "There's
something I need to ask you." Usagi said when they were in the tent. "What is it?"
He asked puzzeld. Usagi looked down at the floor and asked "Do you think once
we're married we can adopt Nat propaly and take her with us when we leave?"
Heero laughed and answered "I wouldn't have it any other way. When do you think
we should tell Nat?"
"Tell me what?" A little voice from the door asked. They turned around
and saw Nat standing there. Usagi kneeled and said "Nat Heero and I want to adopt
you once we get married. Is that O.K. with you?" The little girl looked puzzeld and
asked "What does adopt mean?" Usagi smiled and answered "It means that you
would leagly be our daughter." Nat brightend. "You mean it? You mean I could live
with you two when you leave?" Usagi nodded. "So I take that as a yes?"
Nat nodded vigoursly and jumped up on Usagi. Usagi laughed and stood up
hugging her. Heero came over and kissed them both on the forehead. Usagi rocked
Nat back and forth. "This is the best day ever!" Nat whispered. Usagi smiled and
whisperd back "I know baby I know." Nat pulled back a couple minutes later and
asked "Can I have my bed time story now? I'm tired." To emphisize her point she
yawned loudly.
Usagi laughed and nodded. She put her down and said "Go pick out a
book." Nat ran to Usa's and Heero's bedroom. "Umm Heero?" Usagi asked. He
nodded. "Nat still sleeps in my bed. She's just not comfortable sleeping alone yet. Is
that O.K. with you?" She whispered not wanting Nat to hear. Heero nodded and
answered "That is perfect for me." Usagi smiled and hugged him.
Nat came out a moment later with her pj's on and a book in her hand.
Usagi sat down on the furs and pillows on the ground and Nat cuddeld up next to her.
Usagi looked at the book cover and looked down at the little girl next to her. "The
Princess and the Pea again?" Usagi asked exsaperated. Nat smiled cheekly up at
her. Usagi shook her head and started reading. Heero sat down on Nat's other side to
listen as well. A half-hour later Usagi finished and looked down a Nat and saw that
she was still awake. "That was beautiful." Nat said.
Usagi and Heero laughed and Heero picked her up. "It's time for bed little
one. You got a big day tomorrow. You've got to get healthy." Nat wrapped her arms
around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder. 4 minutes later he came out and
he and Usagi went out side to say goodnight to everyone. Duo and Minako were
standing out side the door trying hard not to laugh. "Now what is so funny?" Usagi
asked leading them away so they wouldn't wake Nat up.
Finally they started laughing. "The Princess and the Pea Heero? I didn't
know you liked bed time storys." Duo said laughing. Mina was laughing to hard to
say anything. Usagi and Heero just rolled their eyes. Usagi walked over to the
platform and jumped up on it. Once again she waited for scilence and when she got it
she said "The next shift of sentries go now and when it's dawn the next shift of
sentries will go. By then the list will be posted." She continued by saying who the
next sentries were and she jumped down.
Heero and her walked back into their tent and Usagi sat in the front part
of the tent writing for about 15 minutes while Heero just layed down next to her
reading. Finally she put down her pen and said "Finished. I'll be right back." And she
walked outside. She came back a couple minutes later and straddled Heero's waist.
"It's been a good day hasn't it?" She said. He nodded and said "Well lets see what's
happend. We got back to your village, Mako and Wufei are reunited, Duo and Mina
look like they're togather, Ami and Stefan found a cure for Nat and she agreed to let
us adopt her so ya it has been a good day."
Usagi laughed and got up and helped him get up. "Lets go to bed." She
said and they walked into their bed room. Usagi changed into a sports bra and some
boxers while Heero just kept his boxers on and climbed into bed. Usagi climbed into
bed on the other side of Nat and saw that she had her stuffed bear clutched tightly
against her chest. Usagi and Heero heard a large meow as Necco came in from the
back of the tent. "Hey Necco." Usagi said to the tiger as she jumped up on the bed
to lay down at their feet.
Necco just purred. Usagi smiled and kissed Heero good night and then
kissed Nat on her forehead saying "Good night my baby. Sweet dreams." And they
fell asleep.
