The Star that Blazes Brightest

Duo stared up at the falling snowflakes, he grinned up at the crystalline water ice. Not even the weather ceased to amaze him these days. He had found hope in the world, in how life was just...everywhere. This new outlook on everything must've had something to do with Duo's heart. Duo's heart was always beating, like the wings of a hummingbird, it fluttered at the mere sight of her.
Tsukino Usagi was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on.
Her hair, cut to mid-back, was silver. Silver, as if such a hair color were normal, of course the princess would have to have such exotic features. The word--exotic--it wasn't even enough to desribe the long, glorious strands.
She was one of the most cheerful people he'd ever met, and her happiness was contagious. Her big cornflower blue eyes would gaze up at him with radiance when he would walk into the room. The classroom. He would always come to that class early, just to make sure no-one else came and took that one seat next to her. During class the both of them would ignore the teacher, with her staring out the window in a daze, and him stealing glances at every possible moment.
He was so sure she felt the same about him, the way she acted a little shyer around him, how he would catch her looking at herself in those little mirrors before turning to greet him. He never let her know he saw her fixing her hair or putting on lip gloss though. If only he could tell her how he felt. But if anyone found out, he'd probably get in trouble.
Being undercover was hard.

"Tsukino, Usagi,"
Minako sighed.
"Tsukino, Usagi," the voice repeated, this time with a little edge.
Minako tried not to laugh as she saw the school's soccer players practicing--one of them had been hit in the head with the ball. The tall player stumbled around, with another obviously apologizing to him profusely.
"Tsukino, USAGI!"
'Crap,' she thought, 'I forgot, thats me!'
"Here!" she called across the classroom, seeing her friend Duo laughing softly--so as not to be caught by their Biology teacher. She glared at him. He would face her wrath later.
'I have to be careful,' she thought...carefully, 'Setsuna warned me about them. I can't keeo slipping up! I have to keep Usagi safe!'

Little Chibi Chibi sighed again, something that had become a bit of a habit, with her. She pulled her little umbrella along in the dirt, pushing any limp flowers out of her way. So far she had run into a flock of rather mean crows, several creepy garden spiders, and her new best friend--a scarecrow. Sadly, his mother wouldn't let her stay, the last post that had stood next to the pair was reserved for his father--who was currently out of town. Possibly on scarecrowish business of some sort.
She was relieved to be hidden from the sun's hot rays, the weather here was hot, which probably meant it was either some time in the late summer or early fall, since most of the sunflowers had bloomed. This giant species looming protectively over her head. It was strange, after all, weren't sunflowers usually kept at least a few inches apart? These were all pushed close together. Maybe they were wild? But with their perfectly straight rows it didn't seem likely.
When it became too dense for little child to get through, she would wield her umbrella as a mighty weapon, and brandish it with majesty! She opened it up and pushed right on through, but not without getting a few of their tempermental leaves shoved in her face. She realized she didn't really have to do this, but it was better to be hidden by the flowers, than be out on that dirt road where people could see her. She wasn't sure who to trust in this time, or where she was--or where she was going! But she figured that, if anything, she could figure out how it was this world needed her help. Little Chibi Chibi figured it did, since she had been sent here--or maybe Galaxia sent her here because she liked the sunflowers' seeds or something. So now she had to find someone who knew what they were doing, an ally, maybe even another sailor senshi!

Sooner than expected, the day grew dark, and Chibi Chibi was wandering around blindly, her umbrella still in front of her, just in case. She had to get out of the field before she got too tired. This probably wasn't the safest place to rest, what with those crows and their beady little eyes and all.
She remembered Hino Rei. Her long black hair, how she would walk around so gracefully in her priestess robes. The crows in the shrine lived as her pets. Chibi Chibi wondered how she had tamed them so well. Maybe it was because Rei hadn't had many--or any--friends before Tsukino Usagi had come along, and so the crows had taken pity on her. But then, they were Phobos and Deimos, and meant to be the guardians of the princess of Mars. 'I guess its a good thing they're her friends then,' Chibi Chibi thought.

As Chibi Chibi poked through the vast field in darkness, she wondered what had happened to her sailor senshi. Their sailor crystals--or star seeds had been taken, but something told her they hadn't gone into The Cauldron. Maybe they had been misplaced. Maybe she could find them again.
Maybe she could find them here. Little Chibi Chibi froze, excitement bubbling through her, the thought of seeing her senshi--her friends--again was so much...with renewed vigor she took off, ready to beat the flowers to death if it meant reuniting with them again.

Little Usagi smiled up at the tall building before her. Now this was what she was talking about! Civilization at last, it had taken weeks for her to walk all that way...
Thank goodness for magic, otherwise she never would have survived that wilderness. Whether or not you can count sunflower fields as a wilderness wasn't the real point, all the walking and dirt--then the rain--had really worn the kid out.
Maybe she shouldn't mention the large tractor that had nearly run her over and chopped her to bits?
So anyway, her umbrella had served as far more than just a sword and shield. It had helped her get breakfast! As well as lunch and dinner, too. She thanked her umbrella for being so cool. And she thanked God for letting those little idiots get so scared and leave their food behind for her.
Chibi Chibi, while she was indeed the reincarnation of Usagi, she was also a little monster. A little monster who scared a couple away on their picnic and ate all their yummy sandwiches.

"As of late, there have been many reports of monster sightings at night, some have been reported to be flying. We at the ESUN are unsure of whether this information is accurate, however, are working to identify with these UFOs--"
Hiiro glared at the television set. Then he glared at Relena for turning it off.
"You don't believe this nonsense is true, do you?" she asked him, sitting down on the opposite end of the couch.
"If I didn't, I wouldn't be here." he looked into her sapphire eyes, "You're in danger right now, I've received word that the 'monsters' are going to target you."
Relena scoffed, waving her hand, "Everyone is targetting me, and I'm not saying I'm not worried, but monsters?"
"Quatre saw one," was all he replied, and Relena's shock left the room silent.

"Really Rashid, I'm perfectly fine." Quatre chided. The Maganac Corps leader rubbed his chin, he obviously didn't believe his young master. But Quatre was getting sick of being treated like a child, he had been confined to this stupid bed for two long weeks. His wounds had had plenty of time to heal, and nothing had been broken, yet the large man insisted on 'taking care of everything' and locking him up in his bedroom.
He even barred the windows--making Quatre's home feel like more of a prisoner than usual.
"Rashid, I need to get in touch with the other pilots!" his voice almost becoming a whine.
"But you already called that young Trowa! He can just tell the others what happened!"
"I don't care! I'm getting out of this bed right now--and if you stop me I'll, I'll fire you!"
