(Chapter One)
"Auuuggghhh!" Usagi terrified screams pierced the silence of the Black Forest. She plummeted from the heavens screaming, "Heellpp!"
And something stopped her free-fall. She looked up and saw a handsome, but concerned face. Then she fainted once again.
When she awoke, she found herself in a strange bed and sat up. "Ow!" she cried. Her whole body ached, especially her head. She looked around and wondered where in the world she was. A door to her left opened and she turned. "Whoa, you're awake!" a guy was standing in the doorway. Usagi jerked in surprise and was overwhelmed by pain. She fell to the floor.
"Who are you? Where am I?" squealed Usagi in panic and in pain. "Hey, watch out. My name's Goku, I promise I won't hurt you." the man walked towards her and held out his hand. Usagi looked into his face and saw that he had a very kind expression on his face. She reached for his hand and he helped her up. She was back on the bed and was wearing a look of complete confusion.
The door opened again and a young woman walked into the room, she saw Usagi sitting on the bed and looked happy. "Oh, good, you finally woke up!" Serena stared and asked, "Who, are you?"
"I'm ChiChi, and that's my husband." and pointed her thumb over her shoulder at Goku. Usagi turned, took a good look at Goku... and laughed. "What happened to your hair?" she asked trying not to giggle, for Goku's hair was pitch black and stuck out in explosive spikes. "I wouldn't talk Odango-Atama!" came a voice from the door. Usagi whirled around to the source of her familiar nickname.
In the doorway stood a really cute guy. "Who are you?" she asked a little surprised at the nickname. "I'm Gohan and you're in the Black Forest to answer your earlier question. Now here's a question from me. Who the hell are you?" Usagi bristled a little but stayed calm. "I am right now Tsukino Usagi from Tokyo, but formally I am the pretty super sailor of the moon."
"Uhh... yeah... okay, did you hit your head a little before Dad caught you? What is a, umm, super sailor?" Gohan asked unbelieving. Serena sighed, "I didn't think that you'd believe me, I'll just have to show you. And she took out her locket and held it up crying, " Cosmic... Moon... Power! Make-up!" There was a brilliant flash of multi-colored light from her and they all covered their eyes. When they looked at her again, they looked up at her again, she had on different clothing and a slightly different appearance, the loose hair that had come out of her odangoes was gone and so was all her pain. She was wearing a white body suit and a blue mini-skirt. She had on high red boots that went up to just below her knees.
"Uhh... am I interrupting anything?" came a voice from the doorway. Everyone whipped around and stared at the handsome young man in the doorway. He blushed and stared at the unfamiliar face of Super Sailor Moon. "Should I go or something? And who are you?" The last question aimed at Sailor Moon. Usagi answered the question, "I am Sailor Moon, and I stand for love and justice. I fight the any evil in my world and destroy it in any form. Who are you?" the young man with the lavender-colored hair and the warm blue eyes answered her. "My name is Trunks, and so you're saying, that you fight evil in your world? And in a miniskirt no less!" he snickered and his eyes glittered with mischieviousness.
Gohan had been silent along with the rest of his family during Usagi and Trunk's dialogue. 'Whoa! She's beautiful! he thought, wait, what am I thinking, I hardly even know who she is!' "Um, Gohan? Gohan? Gohan!" Goku's voice brought him back to the present. "Say, what? Huh? Sorry, I just zoned out for a minute."
Meanwhile Trunks and Usagi had both been arguing, "Hey, we're good fighters, I could whip your butt any day!" Trunks snorted, "I seriously doubt that, and anyway who's the *we're* here? Are there more of you?" Serena stopped short and she gasped, "Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you about that." She stopped short and explained everything to everybody, about her wounded friends, her shattered crystal and her chance to restore it.
Trunks began to snicker again, "Yep, uh-huh, I believe you alright. Why don't we take up your earlier challenge and see if you beat me in battle?" Usagi jumped up off the bed and stared at him, "You're on!"
"Hey! Now wait just one moment! I am not allowing you to battle anyone yet! You were practically dying a few minutes ago! Trunks! Don't do anything or I'll call your dad!" cried ChiChi. Trunks and Usagi both visibly flinched. ChiChi could be really intimidating when she had to.

Meanwhile...
"Auugh..." one syllable came through the battered scout's mouth. Mars sat up and groaned. "Did anyone get the license plate of that truck?"
she blinked and stared around herself again. Pluto rushed over to her. "Oh, thank goodness," she cried, "You're the first to wake up. No one else has yet!"
Mars shook her head to clear her head and then stared blankly at Pluto. "Huh? Who are you? Where am I? Who am I?" Pluto looked confused now. "What! You're Sailor Mars! You and the other Inner Senshi were beaten by a monster back on Earth!" Mars stared at her... and suddenly she did something she would never would have done before... She started screaming her head off. "What! You mean I'm not even on Earth anymore? Who's Sailor Mars? Who're the Inner Senshi?" she cried in panic. Pluto's garnet eyes were trained on Rei and then she spoke two syllables, "Uh-oh."
***********************************************************************
Back in the Black Forest...
Gohan sighed. He had been watching Trunks and Usagi argue for the last hour. Do they ever run out of breath? "Okay, both of you, shut-up! You notice you've been jabbering away for almost an hour!" Usagi turned back to Gohan and winced and suddenly Gohan felt pity towards her and discovered she was just trying to hide her fear behind a mask.
Goku walked into the door and announced that it was time for dinner. Usagi kind of shrunk back while the others headed for the door. Gohan turned and found her trembling. "Hey, you coming?" he asked in a soft and comforting voice. Usagi nodded meekly, de-transformed, and gave Gohan a weak but beautiful smile.
Gohan's heart melted with that smile. He went over and took her small hand in his and then led her towards the others who were already eating and got her a chair next to his and Trunks'. Usagi looked between him and Trunks who she had spent the last hour arguing with. She turned slightly and gave Trunks an apologetic smile. He turned and he face-vaulted. He hadn't noticed that Usagi had de-transformed and was surprised.
Goku then asked her a question that had been on everyone's mind. "Um, Usagi, where exactly is Tokyo? I've never heard of it." Usagi was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Goten piped up then, "Yeah! There is no such place on the earth that is called Tokyo anymore!" Usagi gaped and began to shake all over. "Wh-what?! But that's impossible! What year is this?" Trunks turned to her and smirked his devilish grin. "It's July 21, 2099 today, silly. What rock have you been hiding under?" he joked, his eyes dancing. Usagi paled and muttered something. Gohan and Trunks next to her were the only ones close enough to hear her. "I'll never be able to recover my crystal now. My whole world is gone." and stifled a shaking sob.
Trunks immediately felt sorry for arguing with her earlier. The table had gone uncomfortably silent. ChiChi made an effort to strike up a conversation. "So what year did you come from. It is clear you aren't from this time." Trunks choked a little on this. He remembered when he himself had traveled back in time to warn Goku about the androids. He turned to Usagi and smiled. He said, "I'm sure you don't have a clue what to do around here so you can stay with me and Gohan if you want." he flashed a look towards Gohan, " Right?" Gohan had been thinking of the same thing and he winked at Trunks. "Yeah, sure, you'd be welcome to come stay with us." Usagi stared and smiled a tiny bit. "You guys don't live here?" she asked.
They laughed at that. "Nope, we don't like to live with our parents like little kids anymore." Gohan explained. "It's more private that way. We have to study hard to keep up with our classes in between training." That relaxed the atmosphere and the others began chatting again, Usagi began to eat, but without shoveling down all her food like she usually did.
The sun slowly sank towards the horizon coloring the sky with beautiful colors. Gohan and Trunks decided it was time to go. They said good-bye, and then got ready to fly. "Wait! I can't fly!" Usagi called as they floated a bit off the ground. Gohan and Trunks turned and looked surprised. "You... can't fly? Ooh, we have a problem."
"Hey, no problem at all. I'll carry her." offered Gohan and looked at Usagi. She fidgeted and said nervously, "Okay, but please don't drop me." Gohan laughed and so did Trunks. "If he drops you, I'll catch you." Trunks promised. Gohan picked her up and held her close. The closeness made her cheeks redden a little bit. They jumped into the air and flew off into the sky.
**********************************************************************
Setsuna, Michiru, Haruka and Hotaru were having no luck with the Inner Senshi. The Outer Senshi were baffled with what had happened to the girls. Mars was still hysterical and while the others had awakened and although they had their memories intact, they were too badly injured. Even with their amazing healing abilities, they were helpless. "Get me off, get me off, get me off!" Mars was still squealing in hysterics. Michiru and Haruka were watching over Ami, Rei, Minako, and Makoto. And Hotaru was helping Setsuna watch over Mars. "This is going to be a long day..." sighed Hotaru brushing her purple-tinted hair out of her eyes.
