Author Note: Alright! I got a prologue put! Eh...^-^;; yeah. Anyway, a faithful reviewer reminded me that I didn't put up the pairing for Wufei. I think a good pairing would be Usagi/Wufei that would be so kawaii! Alright! Onto the story!

SILENT WALTZ

Chapter one: The Hiding Place

*Rei and Ami*

They had stopped about 20 minutes into their journey because they were power walking and they knew Usagi couldn't have gone that far out. Makoto and Minako were probably dilly dallying and not really searching for Usagi.

"I guess we better head down the way Mako-chan and Mina-chan went," Ami said turing to the direction they had come form.

"Alright I'll call them on my communicator to tell them," Rei replied.

"Right." Rei opened her communicator and pushed a button that was the symbol for Venus.

*Makoto and Minako*

Minako and Makoto stopped walking as Minako's communicator went off. Minako flipped the top up to see Rei's face.

"Hey, what's up, Rei?" she asked with questioning eyes.

"Any sign of Usa yet?" Makoto asked, peering over Minako's shoulder.

"Iie, no sign of Usa. Me and Ames are gonna teleport to you two and search with you," Rei replied. "Show us your surroundings." (AN: I'm gonna make it so you have to see the surrounding to know where your going because.. uh .. well it just goes with the story... You can also teleport by the energy readings.)

Minako slowly moved her communicator screen around their surroundings and brought it back to her face.

"Alright, see you in a few," Rei said and closed her communicator. Minako followed suit. A few second later the two girls appeared in a flash of blue and red.

"Let's keep moving," Makoto said.

After about 15 more minutes of searching they finally found Usagi. She was in a place that made all of the girls gasp. It was like some place you would find in a fairy tale.

There was the stream flowing the way Ami and Rei had come from. To the right was a small waterfall that gushed out crystal clear water and was made out of large rocks that had been piled together, though it looked like it was man made.

All around them were tree's that let streams of sunlight into the holy looking ground. The waterfall was lined with flowers and had flowers on vines that crept up the sides like an animal on prey. The rest of the ground was a bed of grass. Surprisingly there were no dead twigs or logs or leaves there. It was like something or someone had made this place to be their own little place.

Across the stream were five small (yet taller then each of the girls) trees. The one on the far left was an apple tree. The one next to it was an orange tree and the one in the middle was a pear tree. Second to last was a cherry tree and last but not least was a mulberry tree.

On the stream were three long, logs that went from one end to the other. There were smaller logs all around Usa who was asleep in one of the sun beams. Dirt was smudged all over her white dress along with her face, hands, and shoes.

"Oh gee! Look at her! She's filthy!" Rei cried, looking at Usa's sleeping form. "All that dirt!"

"She's even got dirt in her hair!" Minako said pointing.

Each girl was wearing a dress with their planetary color. (AN: Usa's is white not pink.) Each dress was polyester. It was loose and frilly from the waist down. On top of the polyester dress was a clear cloth tinted to the color of the dress. At the waist were two strings that tied in the back making the waist tight. Above the waist was naturally made to be fitting. At the top the dress straps turned into a halter top. Around their necks were silver chains that had their planetary symbol in their planetary color. On their left wrist were their communicators. Everyone's hair was put into some sort of pony tail, except for Usagi who had her hair in her little odango's. On their feet (in their color) was a pair of sandals that had crisscrosses that stopped right above their calves.

"Usa! Wake up!" Ami cried slightly slapping her on the cheek yet the princess still did not awake.

"Usagi! There are bugs crawling in your hair!" Rei screamed. Silence. Makoto grinned. "Hey Usa! I just made a batch of fresh, gooey, chocolate chip cookies!" she yelled.

"What?! Where!?" Usagi yelled sitting up and looking around frantically.

The girls laughed at Usagi's actions but calmed down soon enough.

"Usa, you forgot all about our poems class," Makoto said getting strait to the point.

"Oh my! I forgot! Mr. Cartatino is gonna kill me!" she screamed putting her hands to her head.

"Yeah, and even though it's been an hour since the class was supposed to start we have to go anyway," Rei said as she helped Usagi up.

"Oi!! I have an idea! Why don't we come back here after we have our class since it's the last class of the day. We'll have an hour before its dinner time," Ami suggested.

"That's a great idea Ames. So let's get going," Minako said.

*once they reach the class room...*

"Ah! There my wonderful girls are!" Mr. Cartatino said spreading his arms. "Now, now, my little Usagi. Where were you all this time dear?" he asked.

"Gomen nasai Mr. Cartatino. I fell asleep in the forest," Usagi replied as she looked down and hid her eyes with her bangs.

Mr. Cartatino lifted Usagi's chin with his finger and said, "Don't worry about it pumpkin! Just don't do it again."

"Usagi lifted her head with higher spirits and nodded. "Right!" she said.

The girls sat down in a row. The order was the same all the time. Rei, Minako, Makoto, Usagi, and then Ami. "Alright, today we're going to head out to the big Oak tree. Remember today's the day you will each present me with a poem that you have found or made," Mr. Cartatino reminded the girls. "Right!" the said in unison.

The girls raced out side to the big Oak tree which was right behind the mansion. All of the girls sat down except for Makoto who touched the tree slightly with her right hand. (AN: I'm going to make Makoto's main power over nature.)

"How are you today Ms. Oak?" she asked. The tree rustled in the wind. "Oh I'm fine as are the other girls. Do you mind if we use your shade for our poems class?" she asked again. The tree rustled again and Makoto giggled. "Yes poems class, and thank you!" she said. The tree moved one last time before Makoto took her hand away.

"So how is Ms. Oak?" Ami asked. When the girls first learned of Makoto's power they thought it was a little odd but got used to it and found that they liked it a lot for it made nice friends.

"She says she doing fine, but is starting to feel a little rusty," Makoto replied.

"Now for what we do when ever we sit under Ms. Oak!" Minako said. All of the girls touched Makoto's hand and Makoto touched the tree.

"WE LOVE YOU MISS OAK!" they all yelled. The tree moved ever so slightly and since the girls were touching Makoto's hand they heard a faint giggle and an,
'I love you too girls.'

"Alright! Onto the class!" Mr. Cartatino reminded them. "Usagi why don't you share your poem first," he said as soon as he saw Makoto sit down.

"Alright!" Usagi cleared her throat. "It's called Corned Beef."

"Corned beef to the left of me!" "Corned beef to the right of me! Wait...no..."

"Corned beef to the left of me!" "Sauerkraut to the right of me!" "Rye bread in front of me!" "Cheese comin' from behind!" "And then everybody ATE a sandwich!" (AN: from the Brak show. Don't own it.)

Silence.

"Gee......That was twisted..." Rei said. Usagi stuck her tongue out at her.

"Usagi, Rei, that was not very lady like," said Mr. Cartatino.

"Gomen Mr. Cartatino," they said together. Usagi took her seat, which was next to Makoto and Ami.

"Rei, why don't you share your poem?"

"Alright, It's called Life."

"Life is like a board game. You can win, and you can lose. In a board game you can always, always start again. But in life you can never, ever start again. So live your life to the fullest. And cherish those you love, And even those you don't. Because when it's time to die, You can die, knowing that you won!"

"That was wonderful Rei! Please take a seat. Ami? How 'bout you?"

"Sure! It's called The wind is calling me away."

"How can I sit through one more day, For the wind is calling me away, And I want to change with the leaves of fall, But I'm here in school and missing it all. While leaves bright as the sun fly by, We add subtract and multiply, And none of these numbers make sense to me, When the sky is as blue as the summer sea. Oh teacher, please let's race the leaves, Let's jump in piles and climb the trees, Let's add subtract and multiply, The wind, the leaves and the deep blue sky!" she finished. (AN: I don't own this either. It's by Kalli Dakos's book of 'poems about school.')

"That was wonderful! But it's the opposite of you."

"Yes I know but I wanted to try something different," she replied.

"Different is good. Minako?" he said.

"Right-ee-oo!" she said and stood up. Everyone sweatdropped.

"It's called 'You can do better.' Here we go."

"I did my best but the teacher wrote in bright red "You can do better" Now I'm sitting here Wondering How can I do better Than my best?" she finished. Everyone just kind of looked at her. (AN: the poem is from the same person as the one up above.)

"What?" she asked.

"That was... interesting Minako. Please take a seat. Makoto, your turn."

"Right. Mine is called 'Smiling.'"

"Smiling is infectious You can catch it like the flu Someone smiled at me today And I started smiling too! I passed around the corner And someone saw my grin When he smiled I realized I had passed it onto him! I sat down and thought And realized its worth A smile like mine Could travel round the earth! So if you feel a smile coming Don't leave it undetected Let's start an epidemic quick And get the world infected!" she finished with a slight bow. (AN: I don't know who or where that's from but I don't own it.)

"Wonderful!" and so the class continued. One thought occupied the girl's thoughts. The hiding place...

Oooooooooooooh! So! Did you like it? Did you not like it? Please tell me! Please review!
