Hey I've finally updated. Took me long enough huh! Sorry about that but it's been really hectic here. I'm in the Desert and it's their winter here. If anyone says it's not cold in the Desert they are lying and who would have thought the Desert gets Fog. I never expected that. I'm trying to type as much as I can, but I work 12-hour shifts (Night shift) with one day off. We just received those back. We were working the past two-three weeks with no days off. The reason we didn't have any days off was because there was a lot of work to get down in a so they (Higher Ups) decided to take everyone's days off until what was needed to get done got done. Just so you know that sucked so bad. Well anyway you probably don't want to know about any of that so one with the story.

***********************************************************************

The girls where worried when they couldn't find Usagi along the way and the guys decided to turn back just incase they had missed her. When they still hadn't found her and noticing the time everyone decided to head to the girls home to see if she may have made it home. Pulling up in front of the girl's home they saw Usagi walking outside the gate in thought. Rushing out of the car the girls all ran up to Usagi hugging her. The guys just watched happy that she was found and looked to be fine.

Usagi smiled at her friends and reassured them that she was fine. "I'm fine. Ok." "We were so worried about you. We tried looking for you but we couldn't find you!" Mina said. "I'm sorry I'm home so late, but I had missed the last bus and started walking home." Usagi said "You mean you walked all the way home at NIGHT!! Do you know how dangerous that is!" Makoto shouted horrified. "I'm fine. This really nice guy gave me a ride home." Usagi said "You let a complete stranger give you a ride home!" Ami exclaimed surprised. "You shouldn't except rides from strangers." Hotaru said the worry evident in her voice. "I know." Usagi said then noticed the guys. "Hi. Thanks for giving my friends a ride home." Then turning to the girls. "We need to go in now or Haruka-chan is going to kill us."

The others stopped what they were going to say at that and thanked the guys before entering. Once in the gates they took off running because they only had a minute left before Haruka would consider them late.

The guys watched the girls take off running with Usagi way in the lead then entered their vehicles leaving for home. It had been an interesting day to say the least and they couldn't shake the feeling that they would be seeing those odd girls in the future.

***************

Usagi gasped for breath inside the foyer and grinned at Haruka who was tapping her foot. "We made it Haruka-chan so please don't blow your top." Usagi said between gasps. Haruka's eye twitched slightly and replied, "Oh I'm not going to blow my top about that oh no, I'm going to blow my top about you and Mina leaving this morning. Don't think I forgot about that."

Usagi gulped and noticed that Mina had done the same. Looking back at Haruka they could tell she was serious. Counting mentally they both reached ten before Haruka blew up.

"What the HELL were you two thinking!" Haruka yelled as she started pacing back and forth. "Leaving a note like that! You didn't say where you were going and when you would be back! What if something had happened to you two? How would we know?"

Mina and Usagi both had their heads down as Haruka continued on with her rant. They knew that she had some points in fact she had said all that earlier. It was just that if they were going to be in this world they wanted to know more about. Especially if they were to protect it. How can she expect them to protect a world that they don't even know?

Calming down Haruka sighed as she saw Minako's and Usagi's heads bowed. "Look next time be more specific and don't just leave like that."

"Hai." Both answered and they began to feel better thinking they had gotten off easy with just a lecture until they heard Haruka's next words.

"Oh and you're both grounded for a week." Haruka said smiling.

Sighing both girls nodded though they doubted they would stay grounded for that long. They'd get on Haruka's nerves before the week was out. They both knew that so they didn't raise a fuss.

Ami, Makoto, and Hotaru remained silent through the whole rant not wanting to draw attention to themselves. They knew Haruka wouldn't keep them grounded that long. Having those two grounded at the same time only meant trouble and they would make sure they weren't there for that.

"Well off to bed all of you. Tomorrow you have school."

The only one happy at the prospect was Ami who smiled brightly at that and said, "I wonder how challenging the school will be?"

"Ami!" the other girls said groaning but giggling causing her to blush a little.

******************************

Trowa drove home thinking about that girl. He couldn't get her out of his head, not ever since she gave him that peck on the cheek. Reaching Quatre's mansion he headed inside and went to the Library. Taking out his flute he started playing a soft melody to help clear his mind. Hearing the others arriving back he put up his flute and headed downstairs.

Duo was excited and when he saw Trowa he exclaimed happily. "Man Trowa you missed a great time! It was great! We met these great girls and boy were they lookers."

Heero just walked past them and headed upstairs to his laptop. He didn't want to hear Duo at the moment. After all he wanted to kill him for making him go to that stupid fair.

Wufei left as well to train before he lost his temper at Duo and chopped off that braid of his.

Quatre sighed as the others left. He understood what Duo was trying to do and found it very kind. He did enjoy himself there and he was sure the others had but wouldn't admit it.

"So T-man what did you do today?" Duo asked having a good idea what he did. "What I told you. I was helping Cathy at the Circus." He replied then went back to his normally quiet self.

"Come on Duo we need to go to sleep. We do start school again after all." Quatre said.

"Ah, man. I hate school." Duo said and started mumbling to himself as he climbed the many steps to get to his room.

Trowa stood there and wanted to sigh at Duo's antics. He truly was like a little kid sometimes. It's hard to believe he's a Gundam pilot.

"I'm glad you enjoyed your day." Quatre said and nodded goodnight to his friend. Trowa nodded back and then went to bed as well.

****************************

"Come on Usagi! Get up or we're going to be late!" Makoto yelled upstairs. "I'm coming!" Usagi yelled and then tornado Usagi came running down the stairs and of course she lost her balance and fell right into Makoto knocking her down. "I'm so sorry, Mako-chan!" Usagi said feeling bad.

Makoto sighed and the smiled. "Come on let's get going before Haruka blows." Nodding her head Usagi quickly stood up and Makoto followed suit. Grabbing their bags they ran out to the car where everyone was waiting.

"It's about time. Now buckle up." Haruka said with an unnerving gleam in her eyes. Usagi and the others gulped and quickly buckled in just in time as Haruka speed off.

***************************

"Maxwell if we're late I'm going to chop off that braid of yours!" Wufei growled at the half awake teenager.

"Hn." Heero said seconding that.

"But it's not my fault." Duo whined, "My alarm broke."

"Because you threw it at the wall! So of course it's going to break!" Wufei yelled.

Sensing an argument approaching Quatre immediately intervened and calmed them down. Trowa remained silent and mentally sighed at his friend's actions. They would never change and he was glad for that. He wouldn't want it any other way.

Arriving at the school they all clamored out of the vehicle and started towards the Peacecraft academy.

******************************

The girls stumbled out of the car and silently thanked whatever being was listening for arriving safely. It was amazing that they hadn't been pulled over, but they could have sworn they heard sirens.

"I'll be back to pick you up after school. So don't disappear. Is that clear?" Haruka said in the car.

"Hai." They answered dreading the thought of the same type of ride. "Take care Koneko." Haruka said and then drove off.

The girls watched as she left and sighed with relief. "Do we have to ride with her again?" Minako asked in a slightly whining voice. "I'm afraid so and maybe it won't be so bad on the way home. After all we would have been late if she hadn't raced so fast to get here." Ami pointed out "She always drives like that." Hotaru said, "You get use to it after awhile." "Well let's go girls before we are late." Makoto said "I hate school." Usagi mumbled following the girls into the school.

The others heard her and laughed. Though her grades had improved slightly she was still the same old Usagi when it came to school.

Entering the gates they had to admit the school was quite beautiful. It looked more like a mansion than a school. Their were a few paved sidewalks and many gravel covered paths that lead to small little groves and gardens. There where beautiful Dogwood trees in bloom and weeping willows scattered about. Along the gravel paths a variety of flowers lined it adding to its beauty. In the center of the man yard was a gorgeous fountain of a young woman in the protective arms of a strong man surrounded by angels. The expression on their face was one of peaceful content.

Entering the school itself they marveled at it. There was no doubt that this school was extremely different from theirs. Other than Ami the girls seemed to feel small in such a big and obviously rich school. Ami wasn't fazed too much for it reminded her very much like the College campus she use to attend back in Japan. Though this schools interior was much nicer she had to admit.

"Wow. I feel so out of place here." Usagi said in a whispered voice. "Yeah me too." Minako and Makoto replied at the same time. Hotaru remained silent and Ami smiled though she didn't say anything.

Walking down the hall they looked for the office so they could pick up their schedules. After ten minutes of searching Usagi let out a sigh. "We are so lost." She stated to the others.

"Excuse me but I couldn't help but hearing what you said. Is there anyway I could help you?" a kind voice asked.

Turning around they saw a girl around their age with mid-back length blonde hair with two braids tied in the back. She wore the same uniform as them and she had kind blue eyes.

"Yes. We're trying to find the office to get our schedules and we can't find it in this big school. We are new here." Usagi replied. "My name is Tuskino, Usagi."

"My name is Relena and I would be happy to show you where the office is." The girl replied.

"Thank you so much, Relena-san." Ami said bowing slightly to her. "My name is Mizuni, Ami." "Names Kino, Makoto." "Aino, Minako." "Tomoe, Hotaru."

"Follow me and we'll get you your schedules." Relena said smiling

Reaching the office they thanked Relena and received their schedules. They were late for class, but seeing as they were new they hoped the teacher wouldn't be to upset. They all had homeroom and lunch together as a group. All they other classes they had at least one or two with them, which made them, feel a little bit better about being in a new school. Heading to Homeroom Usagi sent a silent prayer that they wouldn't get in trouble for being late and entered flowed by the others.

I hoped you liked the story. I know it's not much, but I'm trying my best with the time that I have. My other story A New Enemy is taking up most of my time when I'm not calling home to my husband or working. I'm trying to finish that story.

Thank You for all you patience
