'Usagi, this is stupid. Why should you tell your stealth teacher that you're a girl?' She thought to herself rubbing her face after a long and hard piloting session. It had been a month since their professor had talked to them and more and more guilt was piling up on her.
'If I tell him I'll trust him not to tell the others. He's the one that talked about trust in the first place.' She thought and looked up when Makoto entered the room and started pacing around.
"What's up?" The tall brunette asked wiping away some sweat from the back of her palm. Usagi admired her friend, even after her parents' death she was still strong, unlike Usagi who had shunned everyone from her life after HE died.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about my Gundam. I need a name for it." Usagi quickly lied and Makoto took a peek at a foot tall unpainted Gundam. It was beautifully designed and had beautiful wings that seemed to be made of metal. Its weapon was a large sword sharp looking edges. The sign of royal crescent moon and cosmos rested proudly on its forehead.
"Wow Usagi, this is so good." Makoto breathed and Usagi smiled with pride, "I mean I know I helped you how to make some of it but it looks great!" She exclaimed grinning cheekily.
"Gee thanks, let me look at yours." Usagi got up and looked at her friend's Gundam covered under a piece of black cloth.
"Holy crap, that is so good." Usagi exclaimed fingering the sign of Jupiter on the small head of her Gundam.
"Thank you, I think I'll call it Juno. You know, after Zeus' wife. I was thinking of naming it Zeus but whatever." She grinned, "comes with a staff that'll conduct electricity and it's going to have a shield. I'm going to paint mine black, green and silver. I was trying to model it after Professor Barton's Heavy Arms and Professor Maxwell's Death Scythe Hell, but then nothing my wings don't look anything like Professor M's Gundam." Makoto complained and Usagi sighed.
"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back before nine." Usagi put on her cap and headed towards the door.
"See you later, I'll save dinner for you." Makoto called and Usagi nodded. Closing the door behind her and heading towards her stealth professor's room.
"Hello? Professor Barton?" She called into the dark room. She switched on the light and waited for an answer.
"Oh, Mr. Tsukino, what brings you hear?" He asked quietly and closed the door to his office.
"I have something to tell you, is it okay if we go talk inside your office?" She asked in her low voice and he nodded.
"Come in." He said moving out of the way for her to walk into a beige colored office full of weapons, and a mask of some sort.
"You know about a month ago you asked to see Makoto and me? You asked me to tell you anything and you said you trusted Makoto and me. I guess it's the guilt, but can I trust you enough to keep our secret?" She asked hesitantly. She scratched her head a multiple of times before slamming her hands on top of his desk. She opened her mouth but then closed it again.
'It's not that hard you can trust him!' A part of her told her, 'no! What if he tells? You and Makoto will be history.' She closed her eyes and scratched her head again in frustration.
"Professor Barton, Makoto and I- we're not who people think we are." She said to the man in front of her, her hands were sweaty and white, she bit her lip and he nodded slowly in understanding.
"Makoto and I, we're- we're-" She struggled again and the two voices argued against each other.
"Not men?" He asked, his hands folded in front of him and he looked up at her with a pair of strong emerald eyes.
"You knew?" She gasped and he looked at her emotionlessly.
"I had a hunch; I had doubts about you the first time I saw you. Makoto however, was harder. She's a pretty good actress." He said and she sighed.
"Please Professor, you know the penalties right?" She asked and he nodded.
"Of coarse I do, we had one last year, she wasn't that bright and well she was caught. I'm looking forward to see if you two can succeed." He said and Usagi collapsed onto her knees.
"Thank you so much professor, I- I-" She burst into tears and her stealth teacher looked at her.
"You have class tomorrow Tsukino, I don't want you tardy for history, Quatre would have a fit." He said and she wiped away the tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Thank you professor, I swear we'll make you proud." She said in her normal voice for the first time in front of a man in more than half a year.
"Oh, Makoto, well for her Gundam, she's trying to model some stuff off Heavy Arms." Usagi grinned and walked out the office when he nodded. He stared at his mask and took it. He looked at the sad face of the mask and smiled.
(+You have no idea how much I want to stop it there. But since I got over 200 hundred reviews I'll add a bonus chapter, hmm, TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE. +)

"You what?!" Makoto bolted up from her bed when Usagi told her that she had told Trowa.
"Wait, you're telling me that you told Professor Barton without talking to me first, which might get us killed if he does tell." Makoto stammered angrily, "we're going to die, I know we're going to die."
"We won't, and calm down." Usagi soothed, but failed.
"Calm down?!" Makoto said hysterically, "how can I calm down when I know the government might kill me tomorrow?"
Usagi sighed and looked at her friend, "if we do get caught, it won't really matter. We still have our pens and we could scram out. It'll just be harder to find us after they've trained us for half a year." Usagi suggested and frowned at Makoto's face, "if we get caught, I'll take the blame. Besides, I'm older than you."
"Fine, if I get in trouble by Master Cha-" Makoto slammed a hand over her mouth as said and blushed.
"Master Chang?" Usagi asked raising an eyebrow, "I said I told Professor Barton why do y- oh, I see. I think little Makoto has a little crush on Master Chang." Usagi teased and smiled smugly when the blush deepened.
"Well, if they find out and decide to kill us, I'll blame it all on you." Makoto quickly laid down on her bed and pulled the covers over her head.
"Okay, I'll be sure not to tell Professor Yuy about you're little crushie-poo." Usagi smiled and laid down in her bed.
"Why Professor Yuy? You sure YOU don't have a crush on him?" Makoto asked crossly, the events obviously irritating her even still. Usagi froze a little and the only sound heard for a couple of minutes were the angry 'hmphs' coming from Makoto.
"You know Makoto, it's getting harder to remember Mamoru. Harder to remember his voice, his laugh, him calling me 'Usako,' it's all fading away. I might like Professor Yuy a little more than the other professors, but there's this huge guilt welling up inside of me." Usagi quietly said, "I can talk about him now without crying, it's like he's a blur in my memory."
"Let's just go to sleep, maybe we'll forget everything that happened today. Good night princess." Makoto murmured and Usagi smiled sadly.
'It's Usagi now.' She thought and closed her eyes trying to fall into a slumber.
+The Girls' Morning+
"Kino, watch your left side, you leave it too open. That's how in every fight I can defeat you. Get the left side right and you'll probably beat me in martial arts. Keep it up, you'll become a great pilot someday. Have you thought of a name?" The Chinese man asked her, his foot rested on her neck and Makoto was breathing loudly. Sweat rolled down her face and onto the mats.
"I'm thinking of Juno, Master." She said and accepted his hand after removing his foot from her neck.
"That weak onna? She was nothing but a weakling, all she did was complain." He smirked and looked at her.
'Oh, so you're dissing my mom? Oh, wait till I become a pilot, I'll kick your cute ass so hard.' She thought wiping the sweat with the back of her head and breathing out.
"Why not Jupiter?" He asked and she shrugged, "well he's strong."
"Master Chang, it's not all strength. True, Juno did complain but she was clever, even Jupiter didn't dare to get on her bad side. I don't know, I guess she reminded me of my mother." Makoto explained looking at the man straight in the eye.
"I guess you're right, how is your mother?" He asked and Makoto turned her head.
"She passed away ages ago when I was seven."
The bell rang and Makoto bowed to her teacher and walked out the crowded room along with the other 70. Most had been expelled and out of 200 only 70 was left.
"History, here I come."

Usagi sighed loudly as her history professor droned on and on about the Zero system and how dangerous but magnificent a tool it was.
"Was that a sigh I heard Mr. Tsukino?" The blonde haired man asked her and she blushed, "that's what I thought." He turned back around and Usagi jot down important notes about it mingling with your brain waves and it leading into insanity.
'Oh, this I like.' She smiled and wrote everything about it leading to insanity if you didn't have your whole mind on the fight. Another 2hours and 30minutes later (the classes are three hours long each) Professor Winner announced that there was going to be a big quiz at the end of the next class.
'Oh my gosh, you're not serious.' Usagi thought scratching her head and sighing.
+
"Okay, well first, the Gundams are due next week, so be prepared by then. Oh, just to let you know there is only two weeks left in this year so you are all two years closer to becoming pilots." Professor Maxwell explained and Makoto's ears perked up.
'Two more weeks? Already? This year has gone by so fast.' Makoto took her mini Gundam out of it's bag and along with it, six instantly air drying paints (+I know there's nothing like that in real life+) and a paint brush. She neatly squeezed out half of the black paint, four different types of greens and some silver onto a piece of paper and added some water to them. The instructions read that if you didn't want them to be instantly dried, add some water to keep in the moisture.
"Ma- Man, get it? HAHA, well anyways, dude, that is an awesome Gundam!" Duo came up to her and pat her on the back hard enough to have broken her spinal cord.
"Thanks Duo." She groaned and he sat down next to her. He watched her paint the middle part black with silver on the screws. For the thigh part and shoulder, she painted them dark green with silver for the screws. As it went down, it went lighter in shade. For the head, she painted it forest green, with darker green antennae and in silver, carefully drew the sign of Jupiter. Her staff was painted silver and her shield was painted black and forest green.
"Enough green there?" Duo asked sarcastically and Makoto grinned.
"Nope."
"Well, that is an awesome Gundam, keep up the good work." He stood up and went to another part of the room while Makoto carefully continues to finish her Gundam.
'Juno, you rock.'

Usagi paid close attention to her stealth teacher as he explained the uses of being flexible and being able to sneak up behind their enemies, it was supposed to be a big part of fighting. It was obvious after two months that stealth and history were her least favorite classes, only because there was a lot of talking and no big action. Professor Barton made them practice in their color groups, and when he explained about weapons, he made them sit for three hours straight with no bathroom breaks or anything. Bathrooms were a problem also. Makoto and Usagi had to always go in the stall and even when they did, it was a risk to even go when the guys did. The feet and the sitting down thing.
"Okay, now this gun is called a silencer..." His quiet voice echoed inside the large room and Usagi frowned.
'Crap, I've got to take a piss.' She thought mentally hitting herself.
+
"What?! 78% that's the lowest I've ever gotten!" Makoto practically shouted and was surprised when Usagi came behind her and looked at her stats for the game.
"You should pay more attention to yourself than your enemies. If you don't you'll be going on and on without even knowing how hurt you are." Usagi explained and Makoto nodded.
"Tsukino, you're good." A voice said and Usagi blushed before she even turned around.
"Thank you Professor, I'm just glad I can help a friend." She bowed and walked back to her seat blushing still.
"I've only gotten a compliment from him once, it's not fair. You get one at least everyday." Makoto said smiling at her friend.
"That's the good thing about playing video games a lot." She grinned and started another test.
+
Classes were over by 9:00 and the two worked quietly and quickly on their history homework.
"That quiz tomorrow is going to suck." Usagi whined and Makoto laughed.
"Yeah I know, oh guess what M. Chang said to me today." Makoto sighed.
"Oh, so you're openly admitting that you do like him." Usagi smiled and Makoto blushed.
"Yeah well anyways, he said that I'll be a great pilot. Isn't he great?" Makoto gushed and Usagi snorted.
"Yeah ignoring fact that he's a chauvinistic pig, yeah he's great." Usagi said and Makoto laughed.
"That mouth is going to get you in trouble someday, better watch it." Makoto stretched and the two girls continued to work on their assignment.
"Mako? How do you think the others are doing?" Usagi asked quietly and Makoto snorted.
"I bet they're doing great with Rei as their leader." Makoto said sarcastically, "come on, it's 10:00 we better go to sleep." She yawned and ran to the bathroom.
"Maybe I'll go check on them later when Makoto's asleep." Usagi whispered to herself and followed her friend to the bathroom.

Okay, I'll have to say Cosmos and Juno won for their Gundams, and for coupling...........
MAKO-WUFEI and USAGI-HEERO!!! Sorry if the couple you want wasn't chosen.
