The Winner is.
Drum Roll!
Trowa
"Usagi…ready yet?" Trowa called softly as Usagi sighed looking herself over again, it had been a long time since she had worn this dress, it was as stunning as when her mother had given it to her on her 17th birthday… "This…is a stupid idea." She muttered, Relena would pitch a fit though, that would make it worth while…
"Yeah…I think." Usagi sighed as she approached the door and pulled it open as Trowa stared in at her his eyes wide…she looked…
"Angel…" he breathed as Usagi blushed lightly glancing away from him shyly as he held out an arm for her as she took it hesitantly as he tugged her away from the room, for once he had to hand it to Relena for her taste in clothing. A simple white corset style bodice that fell into a long full satin skirt…a crimson gauze material fell over her shoulders and into a cover for the bodice that tied at the back also in a corset style and allowed some of the material to fall down the skirt leaving a crimson line…the light and sparse pattern of red roses on the material made for an enchanting look. Usagi made the dress look all the more beautiful with her long hair mostly free with some tied into twists on her head to keep the rest from her face, the hair fell like a silk down her back almost to the floor her shy blue eyes lowered to the floor as she shuffled out of the room.
"It…looks okay?" Usagi asked as she smoothed her skirt as Trowa nodded his eyes locked onto her…he had just gone blank on what to do… "Shall we go?" Usagi asked as Trowa managed to snap himself from his stupor as he nodded leading her towards the ballroom where the party was to take place.
"We're late…" Trowa murmured as Usagi sighed
"I don't want to be here at all remember." She pointed out as Trowa smiled softly as Usagi stared, she hadn't seen him smile before, it made him look very…alive. It was such a change from his normal blank, or haunted look.
"We're already here." He responded his smile dropping as Usagi sighed, she needed to get him to smile more.
"Let's get this over with…remember, you all owe me, I get a week off…and Duo changes at least three diapers." Usagi reminded as Trowa nodded
"You do have it in writing…" he murmured as Usagi smiled
"I know…just checking that he remembers." Usagi said as Trowa nodded
"Heero won't let him forget." He said as he frowned at himself, just how much was he planning to talk tonight?
"Good…well…shall we?" Usagi asked shifting nervously, this was the first time she had been to a party like this in a long time…the last time she had been in high school still…and Mamoru had gone with her.
"Have you ever been to something like this before?" Trowa asked as Usagi frowned
"Not in a long time…and not quite…on this scale." Usagi said as Trowa slipped his hand into her own lending her his strength as she gave him a appreciative smile before he tugged her into the ballroom eyes turning as one cornflower blue gaze melted into a glare from it's smug look.
"What a beautiful choice Relena." Zechs complimented as Relena glared at him, who…who had helped her find a dress…that fit...that was like that…that dress, how dare she outshine her at HER party!
"Trowa…can I go now?" Usagi asked softly as she noted the stares, she hated this, she used to get this all the time…but for so long she hadn't had this type of attention, she had always hated it, but now more then ever.
"Not yet…an hour you promised." He replied as Usagi groaned as he tugged her over to a seat as he pulled a chair for her as she sat careful of her dress as Trowa took the seat beside her
"You look stunning Usa…why didn't you tell us you were so hot?" Duo cried as Usagi flushed as they eyes turned to them again
"Duo!" Usagi cried glaring at him as Duo grinned, so she was shy?
"Relena…picked that for you?" Heero asked seeming dumbfounded at the girls choice, considering they all knew she didn't like Usagi, and that Relena had terrible taste in clothing.
"Ah…yeah." Usagi replied, she couldn't tell them where it had really come from.
"Odd." Quatre murmured as Sera tilted her head in confusion
"Relena's taste in clothing is usually…less then…acceptable." Duo put as delicately as possible as Usagi looked over at Relena, Duo was right…her cocktail dress left nothing to the imagination…and on her…looked scary as hell as it was bright pink.
"Only when choosing for herself it would seem." Usagi said as she looked about noticing something "Is Wufei not coming? And I had to?!" Usagi demanded as Trowa touched her arm trying to calm her as she sighed he was right, she was drawing attention to herself again
"He had stuff to do." Duo supplied finally, in truth he had gotten out of it by being on security detail, the rest of them had to stay in close proximity to Relena, Zechs was staying right by her side, soon Heero would be as well as Relena was making her way to his side to force him to dance with her.
"Dance with me?" Trowa murmured as Usagi shook her head
"Sorry…I cannot dance…" she said hoping that would put him off, she didn't want to dance, she wanted to leave, this was all too close to her past, the dress, the type of party.
"I would be happy to teach you, it's not hard since all you need do is follow the mans lead." Quatre offered as Usagi shook her head
"Really I think I would prefer to stay here and watch." Usagi said as Relena arrived glaring at Usagi as she glomped onto Heero whom looked terrified, well as terrified as Heero could.
"Should we help him?" Usagi asked noting the look for help he cast back at them, if Heero was asking for help it must be serious.
"He'll live, he's stronger then you would think." Duo shrugged as a girl approached him and he was quite happy to go dance with her
"Usagi...you must dance at a party…it isn't a party otherwise." Quatre said as Usagi shook her head again as Trowa sighed
"Duo…will change diapers…for two weeks…and you can have Sundays off for two months." Trowa offered as Quatre nodded in agreement as Usagi frowned
"Promise." She asked as Trowa smiled softly again though making sure only she could see it
"We will make sure of it." He said motioning to Quatre, no one dared go against Quatre because he was the one they feared angry most.
"Fine…but only one dance…and not a hard one." Usagi said as Trowa nodded offering her his hand before Quatre could offer to help her as Quatre let a smile touch his lips as he watched Trowa with her, as much as Trowa hid his growing feelings he was an empath, such a thing was clear to him, even though they were not meant to be attached to anyone, Quatre couldn't help but egg Trowa on, not that he would dare tell Heero of this…
"Follow my lead." Trowa said gently as he slid his hand into her own his other onto her waist as Usagi frowned but placed her hand on his shoulder and grasped the hand he had taken her own with.
"I hate all of you." Usagi hissed as Trowa's lip twitched but he didn't smile this time as he began to slowly take her around the floor
"You lied." Trowa said as Usagi blinked at him "You can dance."
"I…almost forgot…it's been a long time." Usagi murmured as Trowa finished the dance and as promised he led her back to her seat as she fell into the seat with a sigh.
"You did very well." Trowa said as Usagi made a face
"Well it's not happening again anytime soon."
"I'll find a way." Trowa said as Usagi frowned in confusion at him but he wasn't looking, instead he seemed to be amused by something else, Heero and Relena to be precise.
"Oh dear…" Usagi sighed as she covered her mouth giggling
/pb/
"Dance with me Heero." Relena cried as she dragged him off as Heero growled, but he couldn't kill her, his mission was to protect her, he was currently seriously rethinking his mission, if he was going to fail a mission it might as well be doing something he had wanted from the time he had met the obsessive girl. Before he knew it he was dancing with her, why couldn't god just strike him down now?
Having been busy in his thoughts it was a shock for poor Heero when he snapped back to reality to find Relena…kissing him. No, this wasn't happening, mission or not…
/pb/
"I think we should help him before he kills her…it would be a bad thing to do in such a public place." Usagi put in as Trowa nodded looking to Quatre whom made a beeline for Heero and Relena as the lights went out.
"Trowa…is this…meant to happen?" Usagi whispered grabbing Trowa's arm so she was not left alone.
"No…" he murmured, he knew he needed to find Relena and keep her safe…but at the current moment Usagi was his main concern
"Trowa…did it just get colder?" Usagi whispered as a chill spread throughout her spine, this familiar presence…no…it couldn't be…not now…why him? Why did it have to be him?
"Welcome princess…nice to see you without your rose throwing bodyguard." A voice purred in her ear as Usagi flinched away as Trowa pulled her into his hold searching the darkness desperately for the owner of the voice, but they were hidden well, the darkness pressed down until he could see nothing, not even Usagi in his own arms, thus he was loathe to release her.
"Trowa…help…" Usagi whispered feeling her heart become chilled as if someone had reached in and encased it in ice, it hurt, this feeling…it was the power of the dark crystal, he was coming for her again.
"I won't let you go." Trowa promised as Usagi pressed deeper into his hold shaking in fear as she flinched feeling fingers run across her back
"In due time Serenity…you are MINE!" the voice hissed as it disappeared as the lights flashed back on as everyone looked around at one another…who was Serenity?
"Demando." Usagi breathed so quietly Trowa heard nothing as he instead had his attention on Relena whom was standing behind Heero who was still glancing around in case of the attacker.
"Are you alright?" Trowa asked Usagi as he broke his thoughts from his mission and back to the woman he had said he would accompany this night.
"H…Yes…just…shaken." Usagi said as Trowa nodded, she looked more then shaken, her skin a pale shade of grey almost and her eyes wide and fearful.
"They're gone…don't worry." Trowa soothed as Wufei motioned for him to come over as Trowa reluctantly left her as she sat at a table and waited for him while he went to talk to the other pilots.
"Relena is unharmed." Heero reported as Trowa frowned
"This…enemy didn't seem to be after her…" he murmured as Quatre nodded
"Trowa's right, he said Serenity, not Relena…who is Serenity? We need to find this out and then we can possibly get to this…man through her." Quatre said as Trowa nodded in agreement as Heero shrugged, anything to get away from Relena…
"I don't see why anyone would be after some weak onna it's just stupid and-" Wufei muttered as Duo sighed looking his friend over, Wufei seriously needed to get laid.
"Since he came here and called out to her then she must be here…we keep all females here and question them." Duo suggested as Heero nodded as he slid over towards Zechs to tell him the plan so they could set up security on the doors to keep people from leaving and Zechs would make an announcement to calm the attendees.
"Duo-" Usagi said as she stepped over to them and they fell silently so she couldn't hear their conversation, Trowa noted her colour had returned somewhat as the shock wore off.
"Hey Usa…crazy party huh?" Duo called as Usagi nodded
"I'll go back to my room now…take care of the little one…so…goodnight." Usagi said as she bowed to them
"Trowa…take her back please, in case the perpetrator is still here." Quatre bade as the usually silently tallest of their group nodded as he touched her arm and led her off as Usagi followed along behind silently, glad she had been sent with Trowa as she was not in the mood to talk, she needed to think.

"You said you were going to kill her, why is she still alive?" the cloaked figure demanded as the silvery haired man glared at him
"Don't presume to tell me what to do!" he hissed throwing his glass of wine at him as the figure ducked out of the way just in time as the glass shattered against the wall and red wine dripped down like blood.
"I…was not my lord…merely confused as to why…you did not kill the princess like planned, like we rehearsed so many times on those females." The cloaked figure said trying to placate his lord as the dark moon prince poured himself another wine as he stared at the girl in his hologram
"Once there…with her…I could not harm her…I want her, and she will be mine, with no prince in my way, she will be in my hands before the end of this month. Then together we will rule in over this pitiful planet and plunge it into eternal darkness." The man chuckled as he traced the face of the miniature princess hovering before him "You're mine little one, all mine." He purred not noting the cloaked man slip out a frown on his darkened features, his lord was becoming too attached to this girl, time to remove the obstacle.
