GDA - If you don't know what this is by now, you haven't been reading the whole story ^____^
Author's Note: Trowa's and Wufei's inner thoughts will be kinda short. Trowa doesn't say much the way it is lol. Wufei's should be ...interesting (or I hope) Enjoy! Sorry if this chapter is short, Netscape Composer is messin with me ^_^;;

Usagi looked around and walked over to Relena and Heero. He looked almost thrilled to see her. She chuckled at his statement. She talked for a short while before excusing herself to the rest room. While washing her hands, she looked over when she heard the door open. A somewhat tall woman with purple hair walked. She was wearing an equally purple evening gown. She smiled at Usagi and she washed her hands. Usagi was drying hers when the young woman asked her a question.

"Are you one of Quatre's friends?" She asked.

"No, not really. I came here with Relena, I'm a little new here" She said as she threw her towel away.

"Oh, I see. Well, it seems Relena has a good taste in friends" She said as she smiled.

"I'm Usagi" She said as she held out her hand.

"My name is Lucrezia Noin, most people just call me Noin" She sad as she shook it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Noin" Usagi said as she smiled.

"Well, shall we go, I have a wonderful man waiting for me on the dancefloor" Noin beamed.

Usaig nodded and held open the door. Noin thanked her and walked towards the platinum blonde haired man on the dancefloor. Usagi smiled knowingly and went to find Relena. She looked around most of the room and then decided to the balcony.

[Trowa]

'Hmm ... there's something about that girl that seems familiar'

Trowa watched Usagi go towards the balcony. He was deep in thought and didn't hear Quatre say his name.

'She does look an aweful lot like Quatre .... I wonder ....'

"Trowa ... are you okay" He whispered.

Trowa looked down at the blonde arabian and smiled softly "Of course, just thinking is all"

Quatre smiled and took his hand. He leaned over and whispered something in Trowa's ear. Trowa smiled and nodded. The two young men walked hand in hand to the dance floor, where they started to slow dance.
 

Usagi smiled as she watched the two dance. She turned around and walked onto the balcony. The smlled fresh and clean. She took a deep breath and sighed softly. She walked over to the edge and carefully bent over the railing. The ground was  lush green, glowing softly from the ballroom light. She looked up towards the moon. It shown brightly in the midnight sky, the stars twinkling. Moonbeams danced on the balcony floor, bathing Usagi in it's soft glow. She smiled softly as she felt the moon on her body, almost sheltering her from everything around her. Her mind wandered to her family and friends, wondering how they were and what they were doing. She was so deep in thought, she didn't hear the young chinese boy come out from the shadows.
 

[Wufei]

He watched Usagi from a distance, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. She was beautiful, specially in the moonlite. Almost as if that was where she belonged. She looked like a fairytale princess. Soon he shook the thoughts that suddenly invaded his mind.

'What the hell!? these ...feelings ... I ..'

He grunted as he pushed them aside. He walked up to the balcony, some five feet from her.

'What do I say? Hn, what is some weak onna doing out here anyways ...'

He sighed and looked away. He didn't know what to say! Never had he felt like this. She seemed different from the rest of the girls they all know. Something about her was ... different ... special ...

He looked back at her. She was leaning slightly on the railing. Her head was tilted towards the moon and her eyes closed. She looked peaceful.

'I should say something ... she might know I'm here ... wait ..how would she know that ...it's not like this weakling has a sixth sense or something ...'

"Penny for your thoughts Wufei?" Usagi suddenly asked

Her voice startled him from his thoughts, he looked over at her, eyes still closed. Same peaceful look.

"Hn" Was all he said.

Usagi opened her eyes and looked over at him. Her face softened. "Do you really hate me that much"

He was shocked by her forward question. 'What do I say!?'  His mind raced for an answer.

"I see. It's not as if I expected us to be best friends or anything. But I understand ..." She said softly "Like Mamoru"

He looked over at her with curiousity, and who the hell was Mamoru. She sounded so sad when she said his name.

"I don't hate you Usagi .... I just don't care for you very much" As soon as he said that, he wished he hadn't.

Her face saddened considerably. She looked away from him and back at the moon. She closed her eyes as tears rolled down her cheek. "So much like Mamoru" She whispered.

He fumed at this. 'Who does she think she is to compare me to someone else ... She doesn't even know me'  He thought.

"Look, I don't know who this Mamoru is, but don't you go comparing me to someone else. I doubt I am anything like him." He said.

"You have no idea just how close you resemble him, maybe not in looks, but the personality is the same" She said sternly.

"How would you know, you don't even know me!" He said angrily.

"You never gave me the chance to!" She yelled.

She ran off before he could say anything, but not before he seen the tears begin to fall. He sighed and walked out.
 

[Quatre]

Quatre and Trowa watched as a hurt and angry Usagi ran from the balcony. Quatre looked up at Trowa, who nodded. Quatre ran in the same direction as Usagi. Trowa still kept his eye on the balcony. He watched as an ashamed Wufei slowly walked out with his head hung and his hands in his pockets. Trowa shook his head.

Quatre followed Usagi up the stairs and into one of the guest rooms. She hadn't noticed him following her. She fell onto the bed and cried. He stood in the doorway clutching his chest. He could feel the pain she was in. The anger and frustration.

'What happened Usagi? What has upset you so much?'  He thought to himself.

He slowly walked towards the bed. Her fragile frame shaking with every sob. He felt so bad. He wanted to help her so badly.

'What do I do? This isn't the same as comforting one of my sisters, but yet .. if feels the same'

He slowly sat on the bed beside her. She looked up. Her face streaked with tears. He smiled softly and opened his arms to her. She hesitantly accepted. Once in his embrace, more tears fell. He held her close, like a child. He spoke softly to her, telling her it would be okay.

'This feels so familiar ....why?  Is this love? No ... I love Trowa .. but it a different love .... like that of a sibling ..'

Quatre closed his eyes as he gently rocked Usagi back and forth. He heard a noise and opened his eyes. But to his surprise, the room was compeletly different. The room was silver and white. It was a very large room. He looked around, amazed. He looked down, and in his lap was Usagi. Only she looked very different. She was older somehow, she was wearing a white dress, with golden trim. He looked at himself, he was also wearing white. But it was in the form of armor. [an: like at the end of Gladiator, that white armor the bad guy wears... *whistles* hot!]

Suddenly Usagi spoke to him, and brought him out of the vision. He shook his head and looked around. He was back in the guestroom. He looked down at Usagi and smiled. She smiled back and sat up. She wiped her eyes and hugged Quatre, thanking him for being there.

"What happened Usagi? Please tell me" Quatre asked.

"It ...it was Wufei ... we were on the balcony ... and I got mad...." Usagi said as she hung her head.

"Don't be ashamed, I'm sure he deserved what he got" Quatre said as he patted her hand.

"It's been quite awhile since I got that mad .." She said softly.

"Well, it's in the past now, I'm sure he feels aweful, even though he'd never admit it" Quatre said with a wink.

Usagi giggled and got up. Quatre got up and straightened his shirt. They both decided to go back down stairs. By the time they got there, the party had died down considerably, and the guys were getting ready to go. They said that Wufei was the first to leave, before Noin and her boyfriend. Usagi said her thanks to Quatre and then goodbye to the rest as she and Relena prepared to leave.

Each person had gone their own way, whether it was home, or to a friends, they all thought the same thing. With Usagi here, things just weren't going to be the same.

Usagi got home, and said goodnight to Relena, who went to her room. Usagi went to hers, cleaned up, and got ready for bed. She was at the mirror as she took off her necklace. "This was a most interesting night"

She put her dress and shoes away and closed the closet door. She untied her hair and brushed it out. She decided to put it in a ponytail. Then she pulled back the covers and climbed in. She sat there and thought about the nights events. She must say, the most fun was when she was with Duo. She reflected back to her encounter with Wufei. Something he didnt' know was that Usagi didn't have her eyes shut. She was however watching him. Studying him. She had seen the way he had watched her. Just thinking about it brought a blush to her cheeks.

She layed back in the bed and covered herself up. "Yes, this will be most interesting" Then she rolled over and fell to a dreamless sleep.

Cool ne? I know the fight btween Wu-chan and Usa-chan wasn't very nice, but it sets everything up, don't worry. ^__^  Review!!! Umm please?? Sorry this took so long, Netscape Composer was giving me hell, it wouldn't let me save or open anything, but I got it fixed! So no worries. Btw, if you've seen Gladiator, then you know what armor I'm talking about. It's my fav costume in the whole movie. Aside from that mask that fight guy wears, you know, the one that when the front pulls down, it looks like a face? Yea, that one. Kick ass, I want it ^^  Ja!
