"Moving house?" Usagi asked as the other just stared at her giving her no answer as she sighed. "Can I ask why?" she asked as he frowned at her
"You can ask." He growled as Usagi looked at him expectantly.
"So?"
"Hn." Heero growled as Usagi sighed
"Why are we moving?" she asked as Heero walked out "Hey you said I could ask." Usagi cried as he glanced back at her
"You can, but I won't answer." He said in his monotone voice as Usagi glared after him, didn't she have a right to know?
"He's infuriating." Usagi muttered as Duo chuckled stepping out from the shadows his daughter in his arms.
"Yeah…but that's Heero for you."
"Does he have to be that rude?" Usagi asked as she accepted the child from Duo, obviously it must be changing time.
"Yea…unless of course we were to dislodge the stick from his ass…though that would take a LOT of work." Duo chuckled as Usagi shook her head in amusement
"How you all became friends is beyond me, you're all nothing alike. Usually friends have some sort of bond." Usagi sighed as Duo flinched at the thought of what bonded them together, their power and their curse, the gundams.
"Can you tell me why we're moving?" Usagi asked as Duo hung his head
"Sorry…I can't…Heero will shoot me if I do…or he'll let Wufei cut off my baby here." Duo said as Usagi blinked at him.
"Chang-san would hurt you child?" she demanded wondering why Duo was indeed with this psychotic bunch
"What? NO…oh no, I mean my braid…before the kid there it was my 'baby'…Wufei wouldn't dare hurt the brat, even Quatre would get angry about that…and that is one of the scariest things you can imagine." Duo said as he shuddered, he had seen it once, and that was enough for his entire lifetime. No one in their right, or wrong state of mind dared to make the blond pilot angry.
"Quatre is the only normal…or closest to normal one in your group…along with you…"
"They're all as normal as they can be…they just have issues in their pasts."
"Really? What kind?"
"Dunno." Duo said with a shrug as he decided a change of topic was in order, before he got into trouble with the watching Trowa.
"I thought you said a week or so back that this kid was teething, I see no teeth!" Duo announced as Usagi accepted his topic change as she sighed.
"She may have just been grumpy then, I said she might be teething…not definitely was." Usagi sighed as Duo muttered to himself about lies and fangs. In truth he was probably just as strange as the others of this mismatched group, she could see through his mask, she wore a similar one to cover the pain and sadness of a tragic past, she just hoped he would not see through her own.
"Can I know where we're moving to?" Usagi asked after a few moments of silence as Duo nodded
"To a colony, another one of Quatre's mansions."
"How many does he have?" Usagi grumbled as Duo shrugged.
"74." A soft voice answered as Usagi and Duo jumped as they turned to look at Trowa standing off to the side, they had forgotten he was there watching them.
"Trowa…Jesus man you gave me a heart attack." Duo breathed as he held a hand to his chest as Usagi nodded in agreement.
"74 what?"
"Quatre…has 74 mansions." Trowa said as he picked up his vibrating phone and listened for a few moments.
"74?"
"How many does one man need?" Usagi muttered as Duo nodded in agreement, he knew Quatre was rich and had heaps of mansions, but 74 was pushing it, did he have one….everywhere?
"Duo…let's go." Trowa murmured as Usagi blinked as she looked down at the child being pushed into her arms.
"We got a meeting to go to, you two okay here?" Duo asked as Usagi nodded as Duo grinned at her before waving back to her as he and Trowa left the room, and as it often happened she and Hikari were left in the enormous mansion alone while the boys all went to meetings together.

"But Pluto said not to interfere." Usagi cried as Mamoru continued to pack things into his bag as Usagi reached out to stop him but he slapped her hands away.
"Please understand Usa…I have to do something…I can't just sit by and let this war go on, I can make a difference."
"Demo Pluto said-"
"She doesn't know everything Usa, no one can know everything, the future we saw…was a possibility…and it may still be possible…but you must understand too…I cant just let this war go on while I sit by. I've been given a chance to help. And I'm going to help."
"Demo…what if something were to happen to you?" Usagi demanded as Mamoru sighed as he sat down beside her on the couch and took her hand into his own.
"Usa…nothings going to happen to me…I'm the prince of the earth, tuxedo kamen…what could possibly hurt me after all we've been through? I'm marrying you, we're going to get our happily ever after, you'll see. But what's the point of living happily ever after if everyone's dead from a stupid war?" Mamoru said trying his best to reason with her as Usagi nodded slowly looking away from him as he sighed and hugged her close.
"Cheer up ne? What could possibly happen to me?" he asked as Usagi nodded slowly, if that was true, why did she have this horribly sick feeling inside, like everything was about to go to hell, literally.

"I let him leave chibi." Usagi murmured as she cuddled the sleepy child to her chest rocking her gently as she tried to get her to sleep. "If I had protested more…he might not have…if I…" Usagi whispered her shoulders shaking as she held back her sobs, it had been a long time since she had last thought about her past, and the thoughts were as unwelcome now as they had been back then, she didn't want to remember, the explosion that had taken her fiancé's life, her future. All because she hadn't stopped him, all because she hadn't told him not to go.
"Bed time I think little one." Usagi said as she set the sleeping child down and rubbed her eyes clear, she would put it back into the back of her mind, where she couldn't get to it, where no one could get to it.
