�Okay, so you�re from an alternate universe that�s been destroyed and now you�re here?� Duo asked.

�Yes,� the black cat, Luna, answered. �You are the new Sailor Scouts. With a few changes,� she said cryptically. She shoved a pink compact at Duo. �You are Sailor Moon. Say �Moon Cosmic Power Make-Up� to transform.�

Duo did and in a flurry of lights and water transformed into the Sailor Scout of ...the sea? �What the hell? I�m wearing a frikin'� skirt!� The others cracked up. Even Heero and Trowa laughed...a little. �They better be dressed like this also!� Duo said oddly turned on by the thought of the former Zero pilot wearing a short skirt.

�That�s the least of our problems! Where is the moon compact and moon crystal you used to transform?� Luna practically shrieked. The compact had turned into Neptune�s transformation wand when Duo had transformed, taking the moon crystal with it.

�Leave it to Maxwell to screw up without trying,� Wufei said with an arrogant grin. Luna was looking at the wand. �Well, I guess you�re Sailor Neptune, then. You�ll have to say �Neptune Planet Power Make-Up� to transform from now on.�

Artemis and Luna went on to instruct the others as to what they were to do. Luna to Wufei, � Alright, what you say is �Mars Crystal Power Make-Up� and then-�

�I understand women,� Wufei said contemptuously. He didn�t like the thought of wearing a skirt either.

Meanwhile Artemis was instructing Quatre and Trowa. � Quatre, you have the powers of Mercury. You say �Mercury Crystal Power Make-Up�. Trowa you�re Jupiter, so you say the same thing only with Jupiter in front of it.�

� I kind of like these skirts after all,� Duo who had been, well, dancing around in his Sailor Neptune outfit, exclaimed.

�Duo, why are you dancing?� Quatre asked fearfully.

� It�s fun. It�s almost like being naked. Not that I dance around naked...often.� The other four pilots looked at him incredulously. He just flashed his trademark grin and went on dancing. �Hey, what about Hee-chan?� He asked. The cats looked startled.

�Oh, right. Heero, you say �Uranus Planet Power Make-Up� to transform,� Luna said, handing him a wand similar to Duo�s. � I guess you and Duo are the Outer scouts,� she said.

�What are the Outer scouts?� Trowa asked softly.

�They represent the outer planets. They�re the strongest of the scouts.� Artemis answered.

�Cool! Heero, we�re the strongest!� Duo exclaimed, jumping up causing his skirt to rise. Good thing those Sailor suits come with their own undies, or Duo would have been showing everyone everything he had jammed into it.

� You also have the talismans. The Sea mirror belongs to Neptune. It can reflect an enemies weakness and attack them with �Neptune Submarine Reflection�. Uranus has the Space Sword, which attacks with �Space Sword Slash�. Got it?� They all nodded.

�They should transform!� Duo said excitedly. He couldn�t wait to see his Hee-chan in that skirt.

�Oh, right you should train,� Luna said. �You have to hurry up and transform. You need all the training you can get. The Queen is moving fast. I don�t know how long I�ll have until she finds you.�

�You mean Relena?� Noin asked in a confused tone. She, along with Sally, Une, and Zechs, had moved off to the side of the room when things got weird. �No, the evil Queen Aurora. She�s the half sister of Queen Beryl, the Queen the original scouts defeated. She killed the scouts in hopes of taking over the world. Sailor Pluto, the Guardian of time also can control certain dimensions. She wasn�t killed by the Queen, so she sent us her to get and train you five.�

�Oh...�Everyone was a little confused now, but felt it best to let it slide for now. �Transform!� Luna ordered the four pilots who weren�t wearing skirts.

�Um...Mercury Crystal Power Make-up?� Quatre said feebly.

�Mars Crystal Power Make-up!� Wufei shouted almost proudly. He would fight this evil in the name of justice.

�Jupiter Crystal Power Make-up,� Trowa murmured inexpressively.

�Uranus Planet Power Make-up,� Heero said in his usual toneless voice.

More lights and ribbons and the boys were wearing skirts similar to Duo�s...except Heero. �Hee-chan! Yours is really short! I mean, it�s really short!� Duo exclaimed. Heero shrugged. Zechs, who was still standing next to Noin beside the wall, curiously looked his former rival over, apparently liking what he saw.

Did he just check out my Hee-chan? Duo thought angrily. He is checking my Heero out. Damn you to hell Zechs! He was mine first, go find a Treize-look-alike.

Duo was also looking Heero over, and could see why Zechs was looking so intently at him. He defenitly had the body for it. Not that his old spandex attire had covered much more. He also looked more feminine. Come to think of it, he �s always has been feminine looking. How come I didn�t notice how pretty he was before? Duo wondered.

�Maxwell,� Wufei interrupted his reverie,� close your mouth and try to be less obvious. You�re drooling.� Duo frowned. Leave it to Wufei to make him feel stupid.

The rest of the guys were gathered in a clomp and the other preventers slowly approached as well, Zechs still looking at Heero. I knew there was a reason he�s never returned Noin�s feelings. I guess all that fighting with Heero was just sexual frustration on his part, Duo thought snidely. �Didn�t know you swung that way, Zechs,� Duo said in his snottiest voice.

�Huh?� Zechs looked genuinely confused. So did all the others. �Nothing. Let�s go train.�
