Thanks for all of the reviews. I have to thank P-chan for being my beta.
This is the third time up loading this thing. I don't know why but the
stupid things down loads them all as one paragraph. It is rather
upsetting and a big pain. So sorry for you out there.

The senior officers were focused on watching the recording of her arrival. They had watched at least a dozen times. Usagi stared down at the table and chewed on her bottom lip. She had no clue as to how she had gotten aboard.
The farthest back she could remember was Minako and Makoto running up to her, fear on their faces. The trio had quickly transformed took to the sky, thanks to their upgraded Eternal powers after the defeat of Chaos. Soon they found themselves heading for the park and the source of the evil energy.
They circled above and found the "Evil". As soon as they landed the thing headed directly for Usagi no one else. It had gotten within a few feet from her and then.blank.
Nothing came after it. Did it attack her? It must have if she came aboard unconscious and her clothes all tattered and torn. But what of the others? Are they okay? Were they..? She shook her head. There was no time to be thinking of things like that. They were all right she knew it.
She gave a small sigh and looked up towards the window. She blinked a few times before her eyes grew wide...\
Janeway shook her finger at the screen. "I have seen that light before. It almost looks like."
"Q-Papa!!"
Everyone spun around at Usagi's squeal. There they found Q sitting across from the girl. He shook his head tsk-ing at the group. "My dear Katherine, I thought by now you would have recognized my handy work."
"Q-Papa?"
Q turned his head towards Usagi and smiled. A few eyebrows found their way to their owner's hairlines. "Papa???"
Q blinked at the group disgusted. "Please. This child is not mine. I am unfortunately her Godfather. How that came to be don't ask." He was rewarded with a size four shoe to the head.
"Q-baka!!!"
"Little twerp."
"Homosapien."
"Why you .Odango Attama!"
Usagi bristled. All that was heard was a stream of Japanese. From Tom's choking noises and the red that was creeping up Q's face, one could only guess what she had said. For once Q was lost for a come back.
Janeway was amused at someone getting the better of Q, but now was not the time. "If you two children are quite through?" Usagi gave Q one last raspberry before turning to the Captain.
Q muttered a few comments under breath before addressing Janeway. "Oh by all means, dear Captain, we are through, for now. But please, continue. Your little theories were quite amusing."
A few choice words were rising inside of Janeway but she choked them down. "Knock it off, Q. Lets cut to the chase. Why did you bring her here from the past?"
Q smiled and leaned back into his chair. "The chase is always the best part. All right if you insist. Yes I did send her here and yes she is from the past. Her mother has died in a way; so to speak. Her mother's body had died but the spirit still lives, much to my utter delight," Q's eyes rolled here. "So she is still able to still watch over the girl. Some.events took place not too long ago. A bet was made and for once it seems I find my self on the loosing end."
Chakotay was now rubbing his forehead. When dealing with Q one tends to find and rather large headache forming. "What does this have to do with Miss Usagi?"
"I was getting to that Cheetah. Because of that bet I am now in charge of her upbringing. I know nothing of mortals needs other than she is rather lacking in some areas. She is the key to the success of your mortal beings future. I am to help her shape up more mentally than physically."
The other shoe to the pair followed in it predecessors path.
"Will you stop that!!!! It is not my fault that you are lazy and fail every test of yours."
Usagi responded with a raspberry and comments about a Pyro named Rei-chan. Janeway looked at him perplexed.
"Why us? Are we the only ones in this universe that you deem fit?"
Q snorted. "Please don't flatter yourself. I could have just as easily left her on the Enterprise. I simply have no clue as to what to do. I can't teach her. The things I know are to large for her puny head to comprehend."
A tri-corder followed in the wake of the shoes. Q ducked in time and gave her a dirty look. Before he could say anything he tilted his head to the side as if he was listing to something. He smiled. "Well it seems my time is up here. I hope you have fun and I will be checking up from time to time." He flashed out before anther word could be uttered. All eyes turned to the young girl. Janeway felt sorry for Usagi. Being taken from everything she knew and not only brought so far away but into another time- line.
Janeway was taken back when Usagi looked straight at her. Her eyes held so much pain, wisdom and understanding that child like her should not know.
Usagi spoke and Janeway looked to Tom. Tom was still frowning, not liking like what was being done. Usagi made a request and he turned to give the captain the translation. "She would like to lie down for a bit if that is possible?"
Janeway nodded and smiled to the girl. "That is no problem. Mr. Kim, would you show our guest to her quarters?"
Kim nodded and motioned for Usagi to follow. Once she was out of the room and the door closed, B'Elanna spoke. "Captain, you cannot allow this. We have much more important things to do than to play baby sitter and school teacher for Q."
"I am afraid, B'Elanna, that we have no choice. We have no way to send the girl home. Till we can find a way she is a guest here." More arguments broke out. It was going to be a long day... Harry tried; he really did. But everything he tried failed there was no way to cheer her up. All the way to Usagi's room she looked to the floor walking next to him quietly. He tried jokes, telling her funny stories, mostly of Tom's misfortune. He even tried to reassure her they would get her home. Nothing worked she just stayed the same. They finally reached the door and stopped. He didn't know what else to say to the girl. He shook his head and opened the door. "This is it, Usagi-san. If you need anything important call me or Tom till we can get the computer to understand your form of Japanese." Usagi numbly nodded before flopping on to the bed and curling into a ball. Harry sighed and left her alone. From experience he knew she need some time alone to get use to it. Usagi waited a few minuets after the door closed before she let the tears come. A tissue fluttered down onto her face startling her. She sat up wiping the tears away. Sitting next to her was Q. Not Beryl nor Dimando nor Chaos had ever received the glare of hatred she gave Q. "Oh, the little rabbit is angry. I better watch out she might wail me to death." Usagi flung herself back on to the bed with her back facing Q. The tears came freely. "If you are only here to tease or poke fun at me, please leave. My life has been a living hell already without you popping up and helping it any." Q lay down beside her with his hand behind her head. "These things are so uncomfortable." He snapped his fingers and the bed were replaced with a more elegant one. "That is much better. Mind telling me how your life has been a hell? As far as I have seen, it is no different that any other mortals." Usagi sat up and looked at him before bursting out in laughter so hard, she fell off the bed. "Like any other mortals! Good one Q-papa. Like mortals." Q frowned down at the laughing rabbit as she rolled on the floor in fits of mirth. "I don't see what is so funny." Usagi stopped laughing and blinked. He was joking right. Looking at his face she found he wasn't. She lay back on the floor and looked up at the ceiling. "Tell me, oh great Q, how is my life like any other mortals?" "I thought it was obvious. You were given trial and tribulations and you overcame them, kicking and screaming the whole way. The same as every other mortal." Usagi frowned and shook her head. "Iie, you are wrong. Yes, there were trials and tribulations. My trials, however, were just that. Trials. The higher beings see it fit to test me every chance they get. They gave me a chance to get revenge on the ones who caused the downfall of my kingdom and its alliance. Then I found out why. They were punishing me along with Beryl and Metallica. All because I committed the greatest dishonor by committing suicide without trying to fight for my kingdom." She began to bunch her fists at her side. "I am not really Serenity. I just carry her soul. I do remember everything she did. How was she to fight? Her inner court did that for her. Everyone shielded her from everything. She either studied or played around. She never learned to use a sword or what a fighting stance was. She did watch the girls spar and thought it was a show, not training. When the first thing that came along that was daring and a change from what she knew, she fell in love. Of course that had to be Endymion. Her head was filled with so many fairy tales they were the only thing she knew to be true about the real world. So when the fight came she did what many girls would do in stories. Kill herself to be with her love." Usagi glared at Q with anger poring from her. "How was she to know that if she stayed alive the kingdom could have been saved? But what the higher ones don't know is that it wouldn't have lasted long. She would have been a weak ruler. That is another reason the Queen died. She sent the princess to be reborn and learn the true ways of life. That everything was not a fairy tale. The higher ones were mad. I was given hell for costing the Queen her life and their perfect peace. Peace they did nothing to build. My family built it with our own sweat, blood and power and they take the credit. "My life is nowhere near that of a normal mortal. How many of them get to be the universal hacky-sack? How many of them have the highest of beings testing them constantly to see if the Queen were right in her doings, to see if I would fail; fail humanity, fail the Universe and place it in an eternal hellish nightmare. How many more have two secret identities and a destined and planned future? How many mortals have the power I have and every being of Evil after it? "I never asked for this. I never wanted this. All I want is to be normal, to be an actual mortal. Go to school with the friends I ditched to be a senshi. Fall in love for a reason other than the past feelings of a sheltered girl with a huge crush for the first thing that was chaos in her orderly life. I don't want to be Sailormoon, I don't want to be Serenity, and I don't want to be the future monarch of half the galaxy. But I do it and will continue to do it to the best of my abilities." Throughout her speech, the girl's voice remained level and calm. Q raised an eyebrow. "If you don't want any of it, why do it? Why not give it up. Pass the title and power to another being." Usagi snorted. "Like I could. I would be stopped the first time I tried. Besides THEY know I wouldn't. I couldn't. Never could I give this life to another. I am too kind hearted for my good. I fight so others won't have to. To spare others the pain of watching their dearest friends, their sisters nearly beaten to death or killed. To watch your love be turned or used against you time after time." She looked him the eye. "Besides, they are not finished with me are they? That is why you are involved now. Though I really do appreciate your vote of confidence with Chaos." Q shrugged. "Truth be told, I really didn't think you had a chance. I never thought of falling into the caldron or reaching for the last bit of Glaxia's humanity. But as to why am I doing this, it is not the work of the "higher ups". I am merely saving your life and paying my debt to your mother." Her lips became a flat line. "Explain." "Your mother is a crafty woman when she wants to be. One could say I didn't read all the fine print when I agreed to this bet. I paid a little visit to the time stream. I found something in your future your dear Time Guardian didn't see. Something was coming, something you and your precious little court couldn't handle. I had to get you off earth while you were still alive, awake, and alert. I figured why not kill two birds with one stone. Voyager was the best thing choice. It is filled with Earthlings and they could provide a better up bringing than what I ever could." "All the way in the future?" "Your new little enemy will have a hard time finding you and when it does you will be prepared for it. Here you will be well cared for and treated kindly. When the threat arrives you will understand better. Unfortunately this is a fight you must do on your own. No help from you little friends or comfort from them." A smile broke out on his face. "Well my time is up. Till we meet again!" With his usual dazzle/flash Q was gone. Usagi was quickly on her feet. "Wait, what threat. Q-papa? What threat! This isn't funny. Get back here and explain. Q-papa? What about the others? What about my friends? At least tell me they are all right. Please. At least tell me that much." Tears began to flow again. Q appeared on the bed again, exasperated. "Fine, your little friends are well and alive. They sleep on the moon till you send word yourself for them to awake. Once the awake they will be given knowledge about the past centuries well enough to make in the Federation till you return. Happy?" He didn't even wait for and answer before he flashed out again taking the fancy bed with him. Usagi sunk into more depression as she lay on the bed. No tears came now. Her eyes were void of emotion and light as she watched the stars pass by in the open space outside her window. Once again she found herself alone. In a new place with no one she knew. A new enemy was after her. She had no clues, no real clues anyways. All she knew was that she was sent her to escape this new enemy for the time being as well as to learn to be the proper ruler she need to be. Why was everyone so insistent on changing her? Molding her to what they thought a proper being of her caliber should be. Why couldn't they let her be herself and just simply show her instead of forcing? Usagi lay there till she fell asleep, thinking of every question she could, and sinking into a deeper depression.
