AN: Yes, this is the sequel to Once Upon a Lifetime. If you have never
read it, never fear because there will be a lot of flashbacks and this
story can be understood without reading the first. But if you have any
free time, I would still recommend checking it out. This fic is the
present-day sequel to the prequel which took place in the past. Sorry to
all of you who were disappointed to the ending of OUaL, but it had to be a
tragedy. This won't be (I think). And guess what? I can space now!!!!!!
YAY!!! (In case you are wondering, ff.net used to delete all my line-breaks
when I uploaded but I have broken the curse with a new computer that can do
Microsoft Word.) But enough babbling. I do not own DBZ or SM and never
will. "..." is talking, '...' is thought, [...] is AN, (...) is extra info
but part of the fic, ... means trailed off, -- means interrupted. Onto the
fic!

"And for homework tonight," the teacher droned on, "do the exercises on pages 673 through 691. ALL."
The class groaned as the bell rang. Usagi gathered up her books and ran out the door to meet her friends and to escape the wretched building called "HIGHSCHOOL". [Ominous music in the background.]

"Honestly, I think they're trying to kill us with all this work," she complained as she and the others piled into Minako's new convertible.
"Yeah," added Makoto. "They probably don't have enough dorms at Tokyo University , so they're trying to kill as many of us as they can before we graduate."
"You have a point," replied Minako with a smirk, her eyes on the road.
"And when are we ever gonna use this stuff? Look at this," cried Usagi, pulling out her bag. [Actually, I could never imagine Usagi taking most of the following subjects, but I needed something.] "Calculus. English. Japanese. Trigonometry. Chemistry. World History. Physics. Health. Geography." Her books lay scattered across the car's floor. "I swear, they're trying to torture us."
"Yep, it's the Negaverse again, alright," muttered Minako.
"Oh come on, Usagi," said Ami, who was beginning her medical studies. "We'll definitely use these sometime in life."
"Yeah, in college," mumbled Makoto.
"I still can't figure out how you got accepted to the University, Usagi," said Rei, finally glancing up from the Philosophy book she had to read cover to cover for the next day.
Usagi pouted. "Take that back, Rei. You know I'm doing much better than I was four years ago. Luna says I'm a lot smarter. Try to beat an A & B average!" (Ami kept quiet; her report card was always straight A's with a 4.9 GPA.) "I'll do fine in college," Usagi continued. "But I still don't know what to major in."
"Diplomacy!" said Makoto.
"International studies," suggested Ami.
"Interior decorating and design!" exclaimed Minako.
Everyone sweatdropped. "Just choose something that will benefit the future," said Rei, her eyes back on her book. "Something international wouldn't be a bad idea. The world needs you to be a good and wise Queen, and I'm sure you will be."
"Oh Rei!" cried Usagi, her eyes filling with tears. "That was the first nice thing you said to me today! Maybe even this week!"
Everyone sweatdropped and was left to their own thoughts about the future. About their graduation from highschool in a month, and about college after that. And the future with Crystal Tokyo. That time was fast approaching. But was it meant to be?

"Stronger than a Super Saiyin." The words echoed in Trunks's ears. A month had passed in the Room of Spirit and Time. Vegeta continued to train alone, leaving Trunks to do the same. Trunks didn't complain; he was used to it in the future. But he felt so lonely, almost as though there was someone else, someone he needed to be near, who was missing. He shook the thought out of his head and focused on ascending to the next level, his happy memories of another time locked away...

AN: Well, that was short and sweet. I think the next chapter will unfortunately be this short or shorter. But something happens that will change Usgai's life forever. Until the, Ja ne! **Remember to review, thank you** ~Calli-chan
