Bright here, I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing. Okay, a little more silliness for everyone, onward and such! This isn't the best chapter I've ever written but hey, it's a chapter. I was having a slight brain blank problem. Also, credits and kudos to Muppets Tonight for Usagi's joke.
Last time...
"Usagi?" spoke Trowa. "Why are you here?"
~* GW Diension *~
Usagi turned a little red and giggled but of all the people there are out there, she in particular was very well acquainted with awkward questions that people didn't want the real answer to.
Take for example when you happen to be sneaking back into the house at two in the morning wearing nothing but your pajamas. When mom demands, "Where have you been young lady?" if the truth is, you broke into a jewelry store to fight a demon because you're a superhero and well, it's your job. Your mom's question falls into the same category as Trowa's. Perhaps another example, your teacher asks you why you're late for school and the truth is your talking cat was scolding you about how important it is you find the moon princess so you lost track of the time. Oh, Oh! You can't forget the kind stranger that stops in the park to ask why you're crying. Do you really want to tell him, you're actually not sad? You're happy because though all of you're friends died, they got better again, and then there was the whole save the universe thing and well it was all just a little stressful and you felt like a bit of a cry?
Usagi, though she had the good sense not to blurt out just any old answer, values truth, integrity and sincerity. "I don't have a good reason for being here but while I am here I will help if you let me. I am a soldier in my own way and I know some of what you face. Heavy burdens are lighter when we share them."
A heavenly being has higher knowledge right? They know the secrets of the universe and all that right? Umm... I believe it would be helpful if someone explained to the pilots that Usagi wasn't that kind of angel. Oh dear, well hopefully they'll figure it out on their own.
"Usagi-Tenshi, why have so many hard things happened to each of us?" asked Quatre respectfully.
Usagi stopped and shrugged kind of embarrassed like. "Quatre, I've never had someone I've just met ask me a question like that."
Quatre blushed and bowed his head.
"Cheer-up, I'll tell you a joke. What do you get if you cross an elephant with a rhinoceros?"
"I always thought an angel would be ... more solemn," Wufei whispered to Heero. Wufei looked rather like he wanted to be anywhere but here.
"I don't know what do you get if you cross an elephant with a rhinoceros?" answered Quatre quietly. He was a little upset that the angel hadn't answered his question but perhaps some questions were not meant to be answered.
"Eleph-ino!" No one but Usagi laughed. Usagi however burst into a fit of giggles. "Oh come on!" she protested. "El-eph-i-no. Elephant, Rhinoceros, Elephino, Hell if I know! You are all way too serious." When they still didn't laugh at her joke Usagi raspberried them, stomped back to the bed and sat down to pout.
Duo smirked, then he grinned, then he full out fell to the floor laughing.
"Maxwell get a hold of yourself!" Wufei snapped loosing control of his temper. "What is so funny anyway?"
It is very hard to be in the same room as someone who is laughing out of control and not at least smirk yourself. Usagi smiled openly. Quatre kind of chuckled. Trowa had a slight smile on his face. Heero was itching to point his gun at Duo and try to get him to shut up but he rather suspected the tenshi would think it was just the cutest thing and that irked him a little.
"She appeared in space right in front of Deathskythe, short skirt, hot babe, eleph-ino! She's MY tenshi!" declared Duo still laughing.
Wufei stormed out of the room muttering. "Braided baka. Only him. Only him! Injustice..."
Usagi hopped off the bed she looked up at Quatre who had a slight hurt expression on his face. Usagi kissed the tip of her finger touched the kiss to his forehead then ruffled his hair with a smile. "It'll be okay. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I only wanted you to smile. I better go apologize to Wufei." The petite tenshi then pulled the heavy infirmary door open and ran after Wufei.
"This wasn't covered in my training," spoke Heero. This unfortunately only started Duo chortling again.
"Will you put any of this in your report to the Doctors?" asked Trowa mildly.
"Do I look like a bloody idiot?" replied Heero dryly.
"I'll take that as a no," answered Trowa.
They then all proceeded out of the room to follow after Duo's Tenshi.

The dedicated Sailor Senshi were all in there own way trying to find their lost princess and bring her home. Actually most of them were. Well, everyone but one person.
Setsuna was searching the time stream. All she had been able to determine was that the princess had not traveled directly forward or backward in time. Finding Usagi could prove to be very difficult.
Ami was working with dedication at her computer, trying to analyze the data she'd gotten from the time gate. Right now she was trying to graph it and map out vectors and velocities. Minako looked at all the squiggles and commented wisely that it looked a little like a daisy. Ami sweatdropped. "Minako, perhaps you could go and help someone else?"
Michiru was trying to use her mirror to get an image of the princess. When Minako came along with a little glass cleaner and a few squirts, the talisman mirror almost ended up broken. Michiru dropped it when Minako accidentally sprayed glass cleaner in her eyes. "I was trying to help!" Minako exclaimed as a tear-streaked Michiru ushered her out of the house.
Makoto and Haruka were putting together a survival gear package. Makoto was preparing ration packs. Haruka was packing anything else they might need. When Minako broke a tent pole helping to pack the rucksack Haruka and Makoto didn't say anything. Haruka fixed the pole. When Minako accidentally stepped on the toothpaste, they cringed a bit. When Minako helpfully peeled the toothpaste covered labels off the food cans and then asked, "Which was the cat food again?" Minako found her self politely asked to help someone else.
Hotaru and Mamoru were meditating, hoping for some kind of vision or feeling to guide them to the princess. Minako's helpful soothing meditation CD and mood candles weren't an entirely bad idea, until in her enthusiasm Minako accidentally set Mamoru's coat sleeve of fire.
Rei had the opposite problem with Minako. She was just getting a vision: space, Eternal Sailor Moon...
"Minako!" shouted Rei outraged.
"You were almost burned. The fire was really..." Minako backed out. Rei looked ready to explode.
"The sacred fire has burned in this temple for centuries. It's light forever kindled. It's sacred fire forever burning. I was this close to a vision!! You're worse than that Odango Atama! What ever would possess you to take a fire extinguisher to it? I AM THE SENSHI OF FIRE! BEING BURNED IS THE LAST OF MY PROBLEMS!" shrieked Rei crying helplessly at this horrible disaster.
Rei's furious screaming brought her grandfather. "Rei?" tried her grandfather.
"Through two world wars, thirty seven generations then poof! Minako equals no more fire."
"Rei?" tried Gramps again.
"What ever happened to stop, drop and roll? That's what I want to know. Jeepers, I wasn't even on fire! A little warning, Hey Rei, might be a good idea to take a step or two back..."
"Rei!" tried Gramps with authority.
"I was this close to a vision. It may never come back. I might never be able to have another vision again. How am I suppose to be a temple maiden when I can't even manage to keep one fire going against hurricane Minako?"
"REI!" bellowed Gramps.
"Yes?"
"I have several burning candles and lanterns lit from the fire that are going in other locations. Other temples have shared our fire. It's okay." He explained with a comforting hug.
Rei sniffed.
"You want a hug too cutie?" Gramps asked Minako with a wink.
"GRAMPS!!"
Minako got out of the way as Rei chased Grandpa out with a broom. Well, she thought, I've tried helping out but everyone seems a little grouchy today for some reason. With nothing better to do she went home fed Luna and Artemis then went shopping. The world heaved a sigh of relief.
At the shopping mall something extremely interesting caught attention of the Senshi of Love and Unfortunate Household Accidents. This was something all the scouts would want to see!
