Disclaimer: Okiday I just wanted to say that I do not own Sailor Moon, nor do I own Gundam Wing. Oh yah I don't 'Joy to my life it's a song from Gundam wing and its Dorothy's image song.

A/N: MUY IMPORTANTE PEOPLE!! Anyway I just wanted to say that I'm going to shift the ages of the boys when the war happened... well I don't want to do the cliché thing where the boys are all living with Quatre (or together whether it be at Peacecraft Academy or anything) because if you've seen Endless Waltz everyone went their separate ways. And I'm not going to bash Relena 'Cuz well… if you haven't figured out her role then you're going to have to wait and see and yes all of the girls will end up with the guys but you have to pay attention or the story will confuse you since I'll be jumping around a bit with the scenes.

              How long has it been? A year? No, it was longer than a year… three years. He's no longer the perfect soldier because there is little or no need for him anymore. Sure the past three years had a great need for him to fix what damage had been done in the war. Now things are back to the way it was and the only people he could ever call friends decided it would be best to live their life as if the war never happened. In other words forget about the Gundams, forget about each other, and any other person they met because of the war, if their paths cross again then so be it... How could he do that though?? Doing that would only put him in misery. The woman he loved was the one he met during the war… things couldn't be more miserable than that.

"…All we can hope for now is that the peace lasts long enough for each and every person and victim to get their lives back on track. Maybe if we're lucky another war like this won't ever have to occur again." She finished her final speech about peace. He couldn't stay; no she can't ever know that he loves her like that… yet she might just know that is the truth. He left the room and headed out of the building, but he found a door slightly open and five men standing around talking. He found him listening to their conversation with complete interest….

"Mina, don't get scared on me all of a sudden."

"I'm not scared, 'Ru…" Mina said checking her hair and Make-up one final time. "…Just a little jumpy."

"Mina this kind of stuff comes to you naturally. Remember the record dealer is out there you mess it up and there goes your chance."

"I know that" Mina said sipping some of the water she had. She inhaled deeply and sighed deeply.

"Now… which song are you singing??"

"Joy to my life..." Mina said.

"Minako Aino… you're on in five!!" A woman called.

"Yeah… thanks." Mina said running to change into her stage shoes.

"Duo, Are you sure you don't mind being here?" Hilde asked. "I mean I didn't think you'd accept if I-"

"No problem at all." He said.

"I hope this isn't an attempt to help me change my mind. Duo, there was a time I would've told you yes at the drop of a hat… but."

"The timing was wrong." He said. "Understandable and you're right, we know too much about each other to make the romance live." He said.

"Don't worry about it. I'm old enough to know when chemistry disappears." He snapped slightly agitated.

"Duo…" Hilde sucked on her lower lip feeling partly guilty. A little while ago Duo finally poured his heart out to her, but she had a date that night and turned him down. His spirit was crushed, his heart was crushed most of all. He can't even look at her now, sure he tolerated her presence by not snapping at her often but it was like he was a different person now. The damage was done now… even if she did change her mind he'd get mad over her messing with his heart in that sense.

"Listen I came because I heard there was a new singer here… you know as well as I do music is always the best thing for me." He said gently. He was right…even his favorite song Wild Wing was what he'd listen to when it came to be serious.. And when he was angry he'd always have a slower song playing... music almost always decided what kind of mood he'd be in if he didn't want his usual carefree attitude. The lights then dimmed and a song began as a blonde with a bow stepped out on stage… She was beautiful… and normally he'd be the first to jump to the front of the stage… but his heart wasn't ready.

When I open my eyes, it's always

A bright morning.
Pouring rain doesn't suit me.
When I open the curtain
The blue sky
 
Is waiting as if in invitation.
That's right, every day is wonderful.
It's my drama alone, so
I enjoy it as I please.
If it's a dream I can paint the way I like,
It will come true the way I like.
If I find something precious,
I just start running,
Joy to my life.
 
Hurry and come for me,
Rescue me from here.
Boredom doesn't suit me.
If I am touched by
Courage and passion,
I fall in love at once.
 
That's right, my heart
Feels loves in a special way,
For instance, with that person...
I have so many dreams, I can't carry them all.
They all will come true.

           Without a second thought Duo stood up. The song made him really think about his feelings for Hilde and their situation. It was much too close for comfort and it only made his heartbreak in to even smaller pieces… yet it felt nice to think about it. Maybe he was becoming masochistic, but it didn't feel so bad, maybe it was the background music. Just before leaving the club he turned to look at the girl on stage… She seemed to be looking right at him with sympathetic, yet comforting eyes.

              He desperately needed to be alone. Why did it seem that one song touched him a way he didn't want to happen? It hit so close to home. When he was ready to tell Hilde exactly how he felt about her he had imagined things would be perfect. She'd say she loved him too and they could be doing things couples do right now. Instead he was sulking and she was culpable. She broke his heart and that's that… but it's not how love should make someone feel. It should be like sun shining right after an afternoon shower, not the sun dying in a mist of grey. His heart should be fluttering about and he should feel as if the war never happened and he could finally be the complete child he really should have been. Maybe that's how things should've been… The Shinigami is the god of death… or maybe the Ai no Megami doesn't grant love to those who have probably destroyed the husbands of women in love. Whatever it was it hurt like hell… and yet that singer's eyes took it away momentarily.

                                                                                                                                                                                                     "Ok... They thought they were smart by splitting up. But we'll get all five of them." The leader of the group of five said. "And failing is not an option…"

"Yes, Sir." The four figures said.

"You understand your life is without a doubt on the line…"

"Yes, Sir." The replied.

"Then what are you standing here for?!?! Go!!!" He yelled and Heero made a hasty cover up by pulling a pair of headphones he confiscated from Duo a little while ago and placed them on his head almost as if he was minding his own business when they walked past him. When he finally made it a safe distance away he sighed to himself again before continuing on his journey to the home he managed to get a little while ago. "Releana's in trouble…" Those were the only words that ran through his mind, as he heard the words of the hidden leader again. "The Princess is a great threat to us and she must be exterminated by all costs." The words escaped his lips as a familiar phrase came to mind. "Protect the princess at all costs… Mission accepted."
