Just Breathe:08

Footsteps echoed through the room, leading themselves to a well filled
with water. A hand cast itself over the bed of water, waiting for an
image to appear. She drummed her fingers impatiently against the rim of the well.

"Come on...hurry up! You would think since we lived in a Utopian sort
of place, that they would let us access a looking pond
with a higher processing speed capacity. Instead, we have this
slow-ass, out-of-date reject one that Cronus bestowed upon us after he
purchased the new 4000 millennium one," Athena muttered as she watched a
fuzzy image emerge on the surface. She kicked the well a few times, trying to
make it clearer.

"Why don't you just order a new one then?" Aphrodite
asked as she watched Athena stub her toe on the fourth kick.

"I did, but it's on back-order." Athena answered while rubbing her
toe. "Ahh...there it goes." The image focused on two young figures. Trunks
and Usagi, who was giving him a back rub. Aphrodite grinned. She
rubbed her hands together mischievously.

"How about if I speed up this little love connection
along?"

"IlE! I will not let you interfere… besides Usagi
seems to be doing pretty well without your help any way, though I just
wish they would start with their training sooner."

"Athena...you are no fun. Besides, let Usagi have some
fun while it lasts. She has one more worry- free day before her
senshi decide who goes back home."

"I guess you're right… for once that is. Things are
getting pretty interesting don't you think? I can't believe
Usagi missed an opportunity to get all snuggly with Trunks when they
were sharing the same bed. Screw the pillow fortress... If I was her I would
have......" Athena trailed off as she caught Aphrodite smirking
slyly at her.

"Well… Well... I see... I'm not the only one looking
for some action. You know that can be arranged... the next time they share
a bed together that is."

"Shut up... and just watch the program Aphrodite."

"Do you think we can get some cushions up in here? Andhow about some
drinks? You, know I can't watch my program without my drinks and
snacks."

Sighing, Athena twirls her hand up in the air and astack of soft, plushy cushions appeared. Both of the goddessesmade themselves comfortable as they sat in front of the looking pond. Athena once again put her hands up, making a tray full of assorted drinks and snacks appear in front of them.

"Happy now? Don't ask for anything else since the beverages and snacks
replenish themselves. So if you need to use the little goddess room you
better go now... because I'm not going to freeze time just for you."

Aphrodite smiled and popped a pretzel in her mouth. " All I know is
this is going to be one heaven of a ride and it'scommercial-free!"
Groaning, Athena threw a cushion at her face.

" Oh yea, that's the spot."

"...no.."

"..nevermind.."

"O.k more to the left"

"...up..."

"More."

"...yea.."

"That's it."

"Will you make up your mind? I can't do this all day.
When I said I'll help you get settled in your own room...this is not
what I had in mind."

"It hasn't been more than two minutes! And you're
already bored? I thought you said you could last more than an hour.
Trunks, where your stamina? I'm disappointed."

"Well, excuse me! I'm here doing most of the
work...while you're just laying there and ordering me around."

"Of course, I have to tell you what to do Trunks! How
could you possibly know where I would like it...if I didn't tell
you."

" I give up... here you put it where you like it."

Trunks used the back of his hand to brush away thesweat that had been collecting above his brow. He sighed, as Usagi rolledher body off of the bed and made her way towards him. Trunks handedher the handle of the tool and with the other hand, gave her some nails.She took the hammer and gently tapped in the nail, making sure it went in
straight.

"Trunks, hand me the mirror." She hooked the
full-length mirror onto
the back of the door and stepped back to look at her
handiwork. Smiling,
she turned around to comment about her work but only
to see Trunks
curled up on her bed asleep.

Usagi tiptoed close by the bed and looked down at the
*sleeping bishie * leaning in so her face was right in front of his.
She brushed aside some of his lavender hair that covered his eyes. She
wondered how could he just fall asleep like that? He couldn't be that
tired from last night could he? Usagi propped her elbows on top of the
bed, near where Trunks head rested on the pillow.

How is she supposed to wake him up? ' He's just like
sleeping beauty, except for the reverse role changes. The way to awake
him from his peaceful slumber is a kiss. Which I don't mind giving
and I would like to think it as payback.' Grining mischeviously, she bit
her lower lip to stop from giggling loudly, as she closed her eyes and leaned in
for a kiss.

' Make it quick Usagi. Make it quick. Wait, how are
you supposed kiss him if you can't see where you're going? What if you
kiss the pillow instead?' Usagi re-opened her eyes and stepped back.
She tapped her chin with the tip of her index finger, while her right hand
cradle her left elbow. She paced at the foot of bed. 'You're such a
coward Usa. Just get the damn thing over with and stop making excuses.'

" Shut up... at least you could be supportive of this
situation. Great, even my own conscious...has no faith in me," Usagi
mumbled to herself.

'I do... I'm just telling you to kiss him... what are
you so afraid of?'

"Getting hurt and the fact that we live in two
different dimension also adds in."

'What do you mean by getting hurt? Do you love
Trunks?'

"No. I like Trunks, emphasis on the like part, but I
know it could build up to be so much more. I mean what if I fall into an
another dimension? Who's to say that I won't like another guy there...or
even fall in love? There's so much uncertainty."

"What uncertainties?"

Usagi whipped her head around so fast that her long
tresses tangled around her neck. She quickly untangled them, mumbling
about her conscience not warning her that he was awake.

Usagi then decided to cast her attention on Trunks who
was waiting patiently for her answer. Her mouth opened and closed
though not a sound came out. She kept own sapphire blue eyes on his baby
blues. Finally, she gained her voice back and with a sheepish grin
replied.

"Wow, you got some pretty eyes."

"..............................."

"Trunks! Usagi! Goten and the girls are here!" Bulma
yelled from downstairs interrupting the embarrassing situation
much to Usagi delight. Before Trunks could react Usagi yanked him off the bed
causing him to stumble a bit. He would've almost landed on his face
if it weren't for the fact that Usagi jerked him forward as she dragged him out of her
room.

Her long blond streamers slapped his face repeatedly
making him wonder,
'Why did the hallway seem so long and they weren't
going that fast to
cause her hair to sail like that?'

"Usa-Acck! ACCK! ACCCCCCCCCCK!" A particle of some
kind got caught in his mouth, and he used his free hand to pull a piece
of hair out of his mouth. He held it up to the light and noticed that it
was not his or Bulma's. He was sure it wasn't Vegita either. That
only left one person. He stared in front of him. Usagi.

"Trunks, come on!" Usagi pouted as they careened down
the stairs which of course gravity decided to have its fun and Usagi
had to have one of her klutz attacks. She tripped over an object that
just happened to be her own foot and plunged down the stairs. Trunks
would have been laughing it up if it weren't for the fact that Usagi
was still holding his hand when she went down. His own fate was sealed. He
was going to go down with the ship.
