Bright here: I have been asked to provide a voting opportunity. Actually, the reader in question was hoping for romance but I'm not so good at romance. Here's something completely different for people to state their opinion about. Who should go to the GW Dimension? Only vote if voting brings you joy. I prefer reviews.

~* SM Dimension *~

Ami together with Luna, Setsuna and Mamoru were building a device to try and track the energy waves of the silver crystal's passage through the time gate. Setsuna and Mamoru had come up with the design. It had taken them three days to complete it. Minako had grumbled and pouted the entire time.

"If we just went to the Gundam Wing dimension not only would we find Usagi, we would also get to meet some really cute guys but will anyone listen? NooooO! Nobody listens to Minako. Instead we have to spend all our allowance on some stupid high-tech tracker. I was saving up for a new pair of shoes and I won't have money for the arcade. Stupid crystal tracker gadget!" Minako grumbled. Minako was in a door-slamming mood. It was starting to get on certain people's nerves. Ami, Setsuna and Mamoru in particular flinched every time a door slammed. The soldering of wires and delicate adjustment of parts was extremely difficult with periodic loud whams to startle the workers.

"I'll talk to her," offered Makoto. The end result was, Minako's mood brightened when Makoto in frustration eventually exclaimed that the senshi would all pitch in buy her the shoes and get her a Crown milkshake every day for a week if the stupid poster thing actually turned out to have anything to do with anything.

"And you'll admit I told you so?" demanded Minako sealing the bargain.

"All right now that, that's settle we need to decide who's going and who's staying behind," interrupted Rei. "We can't leave this dimension unprotected while we're off gallivanting after the princess."

"Gallivanting; who uses that word anyway?" pouted Minako annoyed at being interrupted.

"The Outers are going. This is a threat to the princess from outside this dimension's solar system. That makes this OUR business. The Inners stay behind," declared Haruka in a commanding tone; a commanding tone that no one apparently felt like listening too.

"Excuse me? We're THE princess's official guardian senshi. Guarding the princess is just a side job to you, after protecting the solar system from threats external to the solar system. You're not going. We're going!" exclaimed Rei.

"The main design for the OCD is mine and if it should need adjustment I believe I am best suited to make that adjustment," Ami explained patiently.

"And I'm sure as heck going! I've got a weeks worth of ice cream and a new pair of shoes riding on which dimension we'll find her in!" Minako piped up causing sweatdrops all round.

"OCD?" asked Michiru raising an eyebrow.

Mamoru smirked a little but had the decency to look embarrassed. "Odango Crystal Detector. Sorry. The name's kind of my fault."

Hotaru burst into soft giggles.

"We needed something to call it!" Mamoru exclaimed looking mortified. "The name just sort of stuck..."

"The Outers are more powerful. They're going," reiterated Haruka.

The resulting argument was long and loud and after an hour had degenerated to a hair pulling contested somehow. The maturity level in the room had plummeted drastically. The only thing that had been decided was that Luna and Artemis were not going.

"I didn't want to go anyway," Luna skulked softly to Artemis. "I really thought they were more mature than this. I expected Setsuna and Mamoru at least would be above this sort of thing."

Artemis snickered. "I think I'm going to take a picture and use it as black mail for extra catnip."

"Artemis..." Luna growled.

"Outers verses Inners, does anyone but me not see this as a belly button joke opportunity?" asked Artemis. He secretly loved getting Luna riled up. After that comment even the cats were going at it.

~* GW dimension *~

The drive to Preventer headquarters was relatively uneventful however the angel played with the cup holders the whole way there. Usagi couldn't help it. The boys were making her nervous. They kept staring at her. It must be this disguise, Usagi thought.

The commissioner on duty at the parking gate let the boys in without questioning Usagi. The next step was to get past guards on duty by the hand scanner. The angel saluted another guard. She smiled happily. Saluting was a great way to say hello to new people.

"Tenshi Usagi," Quatre corrected quietly. "You only salute the one's wearing hats. Wait for them to salute you first unless you are of lower rank then them."

"Ooooh.. Right! Yes Sir!" Usagi whispered back straightening with a smile. "Can I salute Dou? He's wearing a ball cap."

"You can salute me any day babe but technically I don't have a rank. We're considered irregular forces." As long as his angel was in a good mood, Duo was having a blast.

Usagi thought about that then smiled cheerfully "We could salute each other on the count of three then rank wouldn't be an issue. One, Two, ..."

Wufei snatched the hat off of Usagi's head annoyed. "There! Now don't salute anyone."

Quatre watched the hand scanner as Usagi put her hand on the security pad. He inwardly cringed and waited for an alarm. The scanner blinked green as it had for Heero and Trowa and the angel entered Preventer headquarters.

The briefing however was not going as smoothly. "Who is this?" Lady Une demanded of Heero.

"I've been called in as a special aide Ma'am," Usagi answered for Heero.

"A special aide for these boys would have been called in by me and I did no such thing," protested Lady Une suspicious. She was careful not to refer to the boys as Gundam Pilots.

"It was my doing," spoke Duo deciding it looked like his angel needed a little help.

"Why would you call in a special aide you don't even know the nature of why you have been brought here," replied Lady Une? She was careful not to refer to this meeting as a mission briefing. These boys had no official Preventer connection.

"...elephino..." muttered Wufei darkly and sarcastically. Thankfully no one could make out what he said.

"And what are you grumbling about?" demanded Lady Une really suspicious now.

While Lady Une wasn't looking Usagi pocketed a souvenir Preventer Corps pen leaving a Hello Kitty pen in trade. Duo saw it and smirked. What a prank, he LOVED his angel! He had the coolest angel!

"How do you know we don't know something about what you know that you're about to tell us? Tell me that?" Usagi challenged coolly.

Lady Une looked the blonde critically. That sentence had made very little sense but Une figured it out. "If you know what I'm about to tell you, why did you even bother to come?" replied the quick-witted Lady Une.

"We know what we know and you know what you know and that's why I'm here," Usagi replied.

"Brief us for the mission. We're wasting time," stated Heero expressionlessly.

"What's your name soldier?" Lady Une demanded of the girl not willing to leave this be.

"Lady Une we don't have time for this," interrupted Trowa. "Just brief us."

"First I want her out of here and under guard. I don't trust her," stated Une.

"Do I get a tin cup to rattle against the iron bars?" asked Usagi coolly and professionally looking undaunted. Her professional demeanor was shaken a little when she added cheerfully, "This is all a big misunderstanding. Besides, if I was secretly a spy or a double agent, I would think these guys would the experts on making me spill beans, loose my cool, who are you and who do you work for!"

Preventers don't think their job is fun, thought Une in frustration however, despite the fact that Usagi was unlike any high ranking Preventer Une had ever met. She did have a point. The Gundam pilots were probably the best-trained information operatives they had. Une really hoped this wasn't some adolescent joke of Duo's but she couldn't see the other pilots going along with that. Maybe this was,... Lady Une paled. Maybe this was a new pilot. The doctors had said nothing about this but the pilots were all defending her. She was young. No one would suspect this petite girl just barely old enough to be a Preventer.

"Alright,... here is your mission. We have reason to suspect Oz has been producing biological weapons at this facility shown here in red. Production has already begun. We don't know the nature of the compounds they are using so first we need data on what, how much and how to safely destroy the biological weapons. If this mission were to go wrong we could end up with a horrible civilian death toll as epidemics or even plagues were set loose. We need the lab and production facilities destroyed along with all research. We need data and samples of any available antidotes. Before leaving stop by the infirmary to receive booster inoculation against know biological agents." The briefing continued. Usagi was tempted to wander off and find a snack machine. As she didn't have any change, she did her best to pay attention instead.

After the stress Usagi had put the pilots through one could say they earned a little smirk in payback when they later watched the nurse chase the panic stricken tenshi around the infirmary so Usagi could get a booster shot too. Now this is justice though Wufei to himself being sure to keep a sympathetic look on his face when the tenshi came to them whimpering pathetically.

"How was that worse than falling down the stairs, Tenshi Usagi," asked Quatre who was laughing a little in spite of himself.

"Shut up!" Answered Usagi pouting.

Wufei had the biggest grin on his face.
