A/N: Alright, here is chapter two :) I appreciate the review! Remember, reviews motivate the author to continue, so if you like it please let me know! Thank you! Also, there is a surprise twist in the DBZ plot ;)
"Hi! I'm Goku!" Goku introduced himself to Usagi who was standing there with hearts in her eyes.
"Hi, there Usagi, my name is sexy man…" Usagi mixed her words in an attempt to introduce herself. Realizing her mistake she immediately began to giggle nervously as she rested a hand behind her head. "Oops! I totally skrewed that up! My name is Tsukino Usagi!"
Goku binked a few times as Bulma laughed in the background. "That's alright! We were just about to start eating, are you hungry? I'm starved!"
"Kakarot, you are always starving! You are worse than a ruddy pig." Vegeta sneered from the table with his arms charactaristically folded over his chest.
"Carrot?" Usagi looked at Vegeta as if he had three heads.
"Kakarot is my name on our home planet." Goku explained as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Planet? Home planet?" Usagi's eyes shrank to dots trying to figure out if she was still even on Earth.
"But that planet was destroyed years ago! I was sent to Earth when I was just a little baby to destroy it, but I love it here! The people are great, and the food is wonderful! Vegeta here is just a sour brat. He is actually a Prince." Goku carried on his expanation cooly as if it were nothing strange.
Somehow what Goku said made Usagi feel strangely at home. She felt like she didn't have to hide who she was, if she even still is Sailor Moon or the Moon Princess. It was a sense of liberation she's been searching for, and until now, have yet to even come close to. The very thought of having a free life to do whatever it is she feels like without being guided by the rules of her past sent shivers down her spine. Lost in thought, Usagi's gaze remained fixed on Goku although it was as if she couldn't see him at all.
"Oh, Goku, don't tell her all of that, she will think you're crazy!" Bulma snapped Usagi back to her senses.
"But it is true, why would we hide it?" Vegeta piped back at his wife.
"Yes, but this poor girl has only known us for about two hours!" Bulma shouted back at her flame haired prince.
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm not from this planet or this time." Usagi voiced bravely. Each head in the room turned and looked at Usagi.
"Wow! Really? That's incredible!" Goku laughed as the other two sweatdropped in bewilderment.
"Yep. My name here on Earth is Tsukino Usagi. I was reborn here after my home on the moon was destroyed by the evil Queen Beryl centuries ago. My mother, Queen Serenity, sent me and my court to a new future on Earth with all the tools I needed if the Negaverse ever broke free. Since I was fourteen years old, I have been fighing evil. The time I was reborn into was riddled with destruction, and every evil being was after me or something around me. I was a Sailor Senshi, and fought to protect Earth and my future. But I've escaped that time to hopefully deter any danger that may have gone to Earth if I were still there in that time. Sailor Pluto sent me to a place where the Earth already had its heros and I did not have to fight any longer. Truth be told, I don't even know if I can transform anymore." Usagi uncorked her story with unexpected tears trickling down her cheeks. It was a mixture of sadness and joy as she was finally able to speak of her past and how she felt about it. She was curious though, to see if she could still transform into the eternal senshi.
"Oh, my goodness! Wow! What a life you lead!" Bulma wrapped an arm around Usagi's shoulder. Usagi whiped her tears with her palms and smiled at them.
"Well, try and see if you can." Vegeta challenged, not completely believeing her story.
"Okay then. . ." Usagi closed her eyes and focused on her brooch. A warm glow surrounded Usagi with a great white light. In front of her chest, her brooch appeared and glowed with strength.
"Moon Eternal Make-Up!" Usagi shouted as her brooch opened and released its magic. Usagi transformed.
Her silver blonde hair glistened and her eyes were fierce. The crecent moon on her head glowed with energy as she stood in the room watching everyone stare at her.
"She has an incredible power, Vegeta! Unlike any kind I have ever felt before! And it is so pure." Goku walked closer to Usagi. Her aroma filled his senses as he was captured by her presense.
"I know! It is mind boggling how such a weak human girl could have this sort of strength!" Vegeta gasped as he rose from his chair. "Tell me, do you fight or do you use magic?"
"Well, both I suppose. I use pure energy and use it to fight. Most of my power comes from the imperium silver crystal." Usagi explained cooly.
"What is that?" Trunks asked as he walked into the kitchen. He watched from the den as Usagi transformed.
"This!" Usagi held out her hand and the silver crystal appeared, shining bright and glittering in the light as it floated just over her palm.
"May I touch it?" Bulma asked as she stared closely at the crystal. "It seems like it isn't made of anything I've seen here on Earth. You must really be from the moon!"
"It is Lunarian Crystal in its rarest and purest form. It is the most valuable thing to my family on the moon, and I must do everything I can to protect it." Usagi spoke in an almost queen like manner. Shocked with herself, she clasped her hand around the crystal and closed her eyes. Her transformation disappated, and she returned to her normal state. She looked up only to find Goku's eyes fixed on her. The room seemed to disappear around them as she locked gazes with the Saiyan standing before her. Instantly picking up on the air in the room, Bulma accidentally (on purpose) bumped her hip into Usagi, causing her to fall closer to the man in the orange and blue.
Since Chi-chi never came back, it has been so strange seeing Goku alone. Bulma thought sadly. Goku never let on that he was feeling lonely, but every night since they discovered Chi-chi never came back to life after the wish from planet Namek, Goku has been to the Briefs residence for dinner, and any chance he could make it, he came to spar with Vegeta. Goten usually came with his father, but tonight he went with his big brother Gohan and his girlfriend Videl to dinner in Satan City with her father Hercule.
"Isn't that just adorable?" Bulma wrapped her arms around Vegeta's neck from behind him. He just watched the tint in Usagi's cheeks flush red, as well as Goku's.
"Man, lets eat!" Goku broke the silence, and turned the whole situation into an awkward moment. Usagi sweatdropped wondering how he could think of food when all she wanted to do was plant her lips on his.
Oh well, she figured, as she sat on a bar stool by the island.
"I was thinking we could go out to eat? Does that sound nice? It will be the celebration of our new friend!" Bulma stuck her tongue out at her cheesy joke. Usagi felt flattered.
"But I haven't any money!" Usagi protested, but rose from her seat.
"Non-sense, hun. I got you covered!" Bulma grabbed Usagi and herself a light jacket and ushered everyone out the door and into her red sports car. "Come on Trunks, you sit in the back. "
"But mom, they will make me sit bitch." Trunks pouted. Bulma's face fushed red in rage.
"WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING YOU AT THAT SCHOOL OF YOURS! YOU CAN'T SAY THOSE WORDS, TRUNKS, OH MY GOD! What has happened to my perfect little boy!" Bulma scolded her son before popping him in the mouth. "You're lucky I don't march you right back in there and stick a bar of soap in your mouth. That is a very bad word Trunks. Don't you ever let me catch you swearing like that again! Do I make myself clear?"
Trunks rubbed his lip as his eye teared up. The pop more surprised him, rather than hurt him, but it was still unwelcomed. "Ouch mom! I didn't know! I just heard this kid Fabian say it!"
"Well, don't listen to a word that Fabian says again!" Bulma slammed the door in his face and marched around to get in the drivers seat.
Fortunately, Usagi got to sit in the middle so that she was sitting next to Goku. Feeling his leg touching her leg, they awkwardly tried to pretend like they didn't even notice. They each nonchalantly looked around the car as if it were the most interesting thing they have ever seen. Neither of them wanting to make eye contact, but at the same time wishing they could stare at each other again.
What is this feeling I have? It is unlike anything I've ever felt before. Which is strange. I knew I was in love with mamo-chan, but somehow this feels different, and yet completely the same. I wonder what he is feeling right now. . . Usagi wondered to herself as the awkward and silent car trip to the restaurant dragged on.
Finally they arrived at the restaurant and exited the car. They walked up to the host, took their booth, and waited for the waitress.
"Well that was a quiet trip here!" Bulma smiled as if she didn't cause the silent trip.
"Sorry. ." Trunks admitted, although he said it with his fathers indifferent tone.
"What does it matter, we're here aren't we?" Vegeta took a sip of his complementary water.
"Excuse me a moment, I need to use the ladies room." Usagi exused herself and made her way to the restroom. Bulma saw this as her chance to get the scoop on how her dear friend Goku was feeling.
"Okay, Goku. Spill. What were you thinking earlier? I noticed you guys making those googly eyes at each other." Bulma laughed slyly as she sipped on her water through the straw.
"Well, I feel, strange! I mean, sure with Chi-chi, she was cute and I loved her and all, but I was never really attracted to her. I mean.. come on now. You remember. I thought marriage was a food. I didn't care about girls, only fighting. But when I saw her light, I was instantly drawn in. I'm not sure what the feeling was, but I felt it right here and drop to my stomach." Goku enlightened as he pointed to his chest. "And then my cheeks got really warm! Also, I felt like I wanted to. . ." Goku bent over the table and put his hand beside his mouth as if to block anyone from reading his lips as he whispered, "kiss her."
Bulma nearly squealed in delight. She loved Chi-chi too, but she often thought she was too bitchy to Goku. She's known Goku since he was five years old, and he has been nothing but pure sweetness his entire life. She has only known Usagi for half a day, but so far, she seemed just as sweet.
"Goku, that is wonderful! You must have fallen in love." Bulma said jumping to conclusions.
"Woah there! My wife has only been dead a few months! Is it too soon to be doing this?" Goku waved his arms in front of him defensively. "I mean, she was alone seven years and hadn't found anyone!"
"Oh, babe, she dated. Trust me. No one would take her. ." Bulma paused, glancing at her son, "pushyness."
Vegeta nearly snorted in laughter.
"Miss Chi-chi really missed Goku. I was at Goten's house all the time, and we would hear her cry at night when I would sleep over." Trunks voiced, instantly putting a dark cloud over their table.
"No. This is good. She is a one-in-a-million girl, Goku!" Bulma attempted to lift the spirit. Goku simply sat back in the booth and let out a sigh.
"But the kids. No one could replace their mom." Goku sighed again.
"Woah! NO, Goku. I'm not talking about you marrying her. . . Just take her out for a bit and hang out. You know. ." Bulma began to wink exaggeratedly, ". . .Hang out!"
Goku made a questionable face. "Eeh, I don't know just yet, Bulma."
"Alright, but if you ever need to know for future reference, I support this." Bulma said as Usagi returned and the waitress arrived.
"Support what?" Usagi questioned.
"I support that we get an appetizer." Bulma covered as she quickly orderd the appetizer sampler. The rest of the evening carried on rather smoothly. They each had a few drinks with dinner and caught a light buzz. Several funny stories were told to Usagi about Goku's childhood, and how far the Saiyans have come along as fighters. By the end of the night, Usagi had agreed to go on a pic-nic lunch with Goku. At the end of dinner, Trunks was allowed to fly himself home, as the others piled into Bulma's car.
Upon returning to the Capsule Corp, they said their final goodbyes and went to bed. Goku flew himself home but not before planting a buzzed kiss on Usagi's cheek.
"See you tomorrow, princess?" Goku laughed lightly. "At the party?"
"Yes! Of course!" Usagi agreed, touching her cheek with her fingers in the spot she had just been kissed. He lifted into the air and blasted off toward Mount Pow. Usagi turned on her heel, swayed into the compound and up the stairs where she found her room and her comfortable bed waiting for her.
A/N: As you can tell, I like stories with a lot of dialogue! :)
