AND NOW ON WITH....
Chapter 3: A new hero enters the spotlight.
"Excuse me miss..." he said.
"Yes? What can I do for you young man?" asked the lady responding to the
teenager with purple hair that stood next to her.
"I was wondering if you could tell me where you kept your geography and
history books." Trunks responded.
"Certainly." she said "The geography section is on the second floor and our
history books are at the end of that corridor." pointing to her left.
After thanking the lady, Trunks went towards the history section of the
library.
He spent most of the day repairing the time machine, but without the adapter
that would arrive in about a month there was nothing else he could do but
wait. Therefore, he decided to go to a library and learn more about the
world he would be staying in for the next month. Trunks, unlike his mother,
was no rocket scientist, and studding was certainly not one of his hobbies,
from where he came, you had to learn more about self defense than
mathematics. Maybe Gohan was the exception, but Trunks didn't share the same
kind of interests.
He then took a pile of books, headed towards a nearby table and took a seat.
"Okay... here we go." he said grabbing the first book with a bored expression.
It's not as if he had a choice. Yesterday, Ami, Usagi and Makoto were asking
him a lot of questions. If it wasn't for that monster that appeared
interrupting their little chat, they might of guessed that he didn't came
from this world. In other words, Trunks had to be ready to answer a lot of
questions, like "Where do you come from?" "How did you get here?" "Where do
your parents live?" etc....
Meanwhile, at Hikawa temple:
"Well, girls. We certainly have a new enemy." Luna spoke.
"You're not kidding." Minako added "That werewolf was really tough."
"Any idea where did it came from, Luna?" asked Ami.
"Not a clue." she answered "And that worries me, It didn't look like the
other enemies we've faced before..."
"What are you talking about?" asked Usagi "What made him so different?"
"Think, stupid!" Rei told her "It wasn't after peoples energy like the other
foes we've faced."
"Well Excuuuuuuuuse me for not noticing!!" she said "And who are you calling
Stupid?" as she stuck out her tongue.
"Well who do you think???" was Rei's answer as she stuck out her tongue also.
"Girls! Could you save that for later?" Artemis demanded "We have to find a
way to deal with this problem."
"Tell me, Rei?" Luna asked her "That feeling you had two days ago about some
weird energy, have you felt that again lately?"
"Well now that you mention it..." she said "I did have that exact same
feeling while we were fighting that werewolf yesterday."
"Tell us more about it." Artemis insisted "Did it came from the monster?"
"Well....no." she responded "But it did came from near the area where we
were fighting. Besides, I only felt it for a second."
"You're sure it didn't came from that monster?" Ami asked.
"Absolutely."
"Well, maybe that energy has something to do with the monster appearing out
of nowhere." Minako suggested.
"But what are we supposed to do?" Usagi asked "How about you Mako-chan? What
do you th..."
It was then that everybody noticed that Makoto wasn't paying attention since
the beginning of the reunion, she was stareing at the roof all the time
while making big dreamy eyes.
"Wasn't he great?" she said "The way he saved that poor boy from death...
sigh..."
Everybody was looking confused at Makoto especially Minako and Rei who
didn't knew who Trunks was.
"Hey, Usagi." Minako asked "Who's she talking about?"
"Some guy named Trunks she met yesterday." Usagi told her.
"You mean she hardly knows him?" Rei brought up "Hey Mako-chan, are you sure
he's *the one*? You hardly know him?"
"That doesn't matter!!!" Usagi stated (striking a pose pointing with her
index finger towards the heavens. We see the background turn like the fourth
of July) "Each woman must follow her quest for love in search of the ideal
guy, I trust that Mako-chan's choice in men SHALL bring her happiness!!!!!"
Everyone now stares at Usagi (The 4th of July background fades away).
"Well he is cute..." she explained.
"Usagi is right." Ami added "And besides, he also has a great butt."
Now everybody stares at Ami, obviously they didn't expect HER to make that
kind of remark.
"WELL WHAT??" she said unable to keep herself from blushing "I'm allowed to
make that kind of observation once in a life time, aren't I??"
As time went on, the five girls left the temple heading to the Tsukino
house. Usagi invited all four of them to have supper at her place.
"So, Mako-chan?" Rei brought up "Tell us about this guy Trunks."
"Yeah! Tell us what makes him so special." Minako added.
"Well I really don't know much about him." Makoto answered "Besides the fact
that he's really cute and that he's a foreigner."
"If he's so cute maybe he already has a girlfriend." Rei suggested. Makoto's
happy expression was immediately replaced by a serious one.
"Nice going, Rei!" Usagi told her "You really know how to break a smile in
a girl's face."
"Hey! It's something she should consider!" Rei stated in her defence "He
might have a girlfriend!"
"I really hope he doesn't..." Makoto said slightly depressed.
"Oh dear." exclaimed Ami.
"What? What is it?" Usagi asked her.
"I forgot to return this book to the library." she answered "Is it okay if
we pass to library before they close Usagi?"
"Sure. Where is it?" Usagi asked.
"It's a few blocks from your house." Ami told her as she sweat dropped.
"Of course that's something you wouldn't know." Rei added "The day we see
*you* in a library will be the end of the world as well."
Everybody began to laugh, except Usagi who was glaring at Rei.
At the library (which by coincidence was the same Trunks was at the moment):
"Why hello, Ami." the library lady said "What brings you here today?"
"Good evening." she said politely "I came to return this book." handing over
the book.
"Finished already?" the lady said surprised "Any other books that you might
be interested in? We just got that new book you wanted."
"Great! Where is it?"
"Over there." she pointed "By the literature section."
The five girls went to the aisle next to were Trunks was.
Both groups not noticing the other. Trunks was almost asleep after so many
books he read, eventhough he only understood half of them.
"Let's see......Hum.........here it is." Ami said as she pulled out the book
from the shelf. As she did, an opening was made between the two aisle and
Amy could see Trunks on the other side.
"Oh my, isn't that Trunks over there?" she added.
"Where?" Makoto asked showing spontaneous interest, then moving Ami one side
to be able to see Trunks "It is him!"
"Well, let us see!" Minako demanded as she took Makoto's place "We want to
know what he looks like.............Wow, he really is good looking."
"Let me see! Let me see! Let me see!" Rei insisted.
"Usagi..." Makoto said as she turned towards Usagi "Can I ask you a favor?"
"Un... Sure." she said a little confused.
"Would it be too much trouble if you could invite Trunks to have supper with
us at your house?" Makoto asked hopefully "I would really appreciate that."
"Sure. But what's going to be my excuse for bumping into him?"
"Hi, girls." said a voice behind them, it was Trunks who was returning the
books he borrowed.
"WHHAAAAAA..." screamed the girls in surprise.
'SHHHHHHHHHHHHH' said the other people in the library.
"Oh. Trunks. It's you." said Usagi holding her chest still in a little bit
of shock "We didn't hear you."
"What a coincidence to find you here." Makoto exclaimed "What are you doing
here anyway?"
"Just came here to read some books." Trunks answered showing the books he
was reading "What about you?"
"We came accompanying Ami in search of a book." Minako told him "By the way,
I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Minako Aino"
"And I'm Rei Hino." Rei added "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you both, I'm Trunks" he said.
"Trunks, we were wondering..." Usagi brought out "Would you like to join us
for supper at my house. Everybody is coming."
"Well... I don't know..." he responded, after all they seemed determined to
find out more about him "I wouldn't want to impose on your family."
"Don't worry" Usagi replied "You're our guest of honor, we still haven't
thanked you formally for saving Mako-chan yesterday."
"Thank me... formally?" he asked [What is she talking about. You girls have
already thanked me about three time each. How much formal can you get?]
"You saved Mako-chan?" Minako and Rei asked simultaneously "If that's the
case we insist you tell us more about that during supper."
"Besides," Usagi added "we never got to finish our chat yesterday because of
that monster, we still have a lot of things to ask you."
"Hun... right ... our chat yesterday..." Trunks said now even less convinced.
"Come on." Ami insisted "You'll love the way Usagi's mother cooks."
Well... it *was* late and Trunks had nothing to eat so far, not to mention
that refusing a free meal from these girls would be rude.
"Okay. I'll join you." he said [What's the worst thing that could happen?]
A few moments later Trunks and the girls are walking down the street to
Usagi's house. Makoto is walking next to Trunks, he on the other hand is
thinking of the answers he would have to come up with if he was interviewed.
"Welcome home, Usagi." Said her mother "I see you brought visitors. Who
might this young man be?" looking at Trunks with a friendly smile.
"My name is Trunks" he said "Pleased to meet you."
"Well it's always nice to see our daughter making new friends." Usagi's
father said, suddenly appearing next to his wife "Please come in."
"Trunks." Usagi brought out "This is my mother and father, and that over
there (pointing at a boy playing Nintendo) is my obnoxious little brother
Shingo!"
"I heard that!" Shingo said out loud.
"Why don't we all sit down for supper." Usagi's mother suggested "The food's
ready!"
Everyone sat down at the table, Makoto and Minako were next to Trunks, in
front of him were Usagi's parents, at the right and left side of the table
were Ami, Shingo, Usagi and Rei.
"So, Trunks?" asked Usagi's father as he started the conversation "Where are
you from?" everybody looked at Trunks as he became the center of attraction.
"I'm come from America." he said as he remembered that name from one of the
books he read earlier.
"Really?" asked Mrs. Tsukino "You speak Japanese very well for being an
American."
"Yeah... un... well... er... my mother is Japanese." he lied.
"Oh that explains it."
"Well anyway." Mr. Tsukino continued "Tell us what brings you all the way
here."
"That's right." Ami added "You told us you got here by accident."
"Well..." Trunks responded as he tried to explain "I think you could say I
made a wrong turn."
No one was quite sure of what he meant by that, but Usagi's father nodded
instead.
"I see, those occidental air lines are a real mess. I remember when I last
used one." he claimed "Anyway, it must be very hard for you to be on your
own in a place like Tokyo."
"There's no need to worry, sir." Trunks replied "I can take care of myself."
"Maybe so." Mr. Tsukino said "But does your family knows where you are?"
"Yes, they're aware."
"And what about your girlfriend?" Makoto asked nervously awaiting for an
answer "She must be worried."
"I... don't have a girlfriend." Trunks responded a little confused by that
type of question.
"NO WAY!!!" said the five girls at the same time "NO GIRLFRIEND????" Makoto
suddenly regained that happy look on her face.
"Well... yeah... What's so strange about that?" he asked still confused.
"It's very unusual that such a handsome boy as yourself doesn't have a
girlfriend." Mrs. Tsukino explained.
"Handsome??? Who? Me?" Trunks asked even more confused and no less
embarassed. No woman ever told him he was good looking, (Well maybe his
mother that didn't really count) he was surprised by that kind of remark.
Where he came from it didn't matter if you were pretty or not, what counted
was how well you fought.
"Anyway." interrupted Mr. Tsukino trying to change the subject as he saw how
Trunks was getting a little embarrassed "How long will you be staying in
Japan?"
"Well I'm not sure." he said "I think I'll be here for a month or so."
"Why such a long time?" Mrs. Tsukino asked "If you're in the wrong place,
shouldn't you try to get home as soon as possible?"
"I tried." he answered "But I'm having problems with my... er... passport!
It'll be about a month before everything is fixed."
"I see." Mr. Tsukino went on "And what about school?"
"What about it?"
"Aren't going to school while you're staying here?" he asked him.
"Well... not really." Trunks answered.
"How can that be?" Mrs. Tsukino asked quite surprised.
"Well... er..." Trunks said as he was trying to find an excuse "As I told
you earlier... hum... I had a few problems with my documents and therefore I
can't enter school. [I hope they'll buy that]"
"Oh, so that's why you were at the library?" Ami brought out "Since you
can't enter school you're studding there instead."
"Er......Yes! That's right!" Trunks lied.
"Well if an adult's permission is the only thing you need to get into
school..." Mr. Tsukino started "Then we can help you, Trunks."
"You can? [Uh oh, I don't like the sound of this.]" Trunks asked not very
happy about the idea.
"Why certainly!" Mr. Tsukino assured "I'll personally inscribe you to
Usagi's school tomorrow morning."
"That's a great idea, dad!" Usagi declared.
"I really wouldn't want to trouble you." Trunks said trying to find a way
out of this mess.
"It's no trouble at all!" Mrs. Tsukino confirmed "We certainly can't let you
fall behind in your studies. Besides, I'm sure your parents would want you
to keep studying while you're here."
"Uh... Yeah... I guess... [Aww man, what have I got myself into???]" he said
knowing he was now doomed.
"You'll be able to start school tomorrow morning." Mr. Tsukino stated.
"And we can help you catch up in your school work as well?" Ami added.
"Thanks, you're all really too kind. [Great, now I'm stuck with school!]"
"Well, anyway." Minako said trying to change the subject "Enough about
school. Tell me Trunks, do you by any chance have any older brothers?"
"No, not really, I'm an only son."
"Hun, too bad." she said a little disappointed.
"By the way Trunks..." Makoto asked "Have you found a place to stay?"
"Because if you haven't..." Mrs. Tsukino added "There's always a place here."
"I've already found a place. I wouldn't want to trouble you. You've already
done more than enough for me. [More than enough trouble that is!!]" Trunks
explained. The last thing he needed now was to stay with them.
"Anyway..." Usagi said "Mako-chan told us you were a great martial artist.
What technique do you use?"
"I don't really use any technique in particular, I learn a little from
everything I see and try to create my own style." he responded a little
less nervous now that they were asking him of things he knew of.
The rest of the evening went more smoothly, the other questions Usagi, Rei,
Ami, Minako and especially Makoto asked Trunks were easier to answer, most
of them where about what he liked and disliked and stuff like that.
Soon it was 6:00 PM and everybody was about to leave.
"Thanks again for inviting me." Trunks said as he and the other girls were
about to leave.
"Don't mention it, it's the least we could do." Usagi stated "I'll see you
tomorrow at school, Okay?"
"Hun... right... school..." he responded still not very happy about that
concept.
Everyone left Usagi's house in a different direction, Trunks was now
thinking about his new problem.
"Trunks! Wait up!" said a voice behind him, it was Makoto "Where are you
heading?"
"Home." he answered.
"Oh! You live at the north side? What a coincidence, so do I. Mind if I join
you?" she asked (Most of you Sailor Moon fans might noticed that this is a
typical maneuver that the Senshi use to get men, especially when in this
case, Makoto lives in the exact *opposite* direction Trunks does.)
"Sure, no problem." he told her.
They were walking down the street, Trunks was still thinking about his
current situation, and as for Makoto, she was waiting for an opportunity to
make her move. She slowly began to let Trunks ahead of her. Then she
pretended to trip over some inexistent object, launching herself towards
the sayan hybrid and grabbing his arm so she wouldn't fall. The end result
was obvious, she managed to grab Trunks by the arm (Yet another Sailor
Senshi tactic to get men!).
"Oups!" she said innocently as she held his arm.
"Be careful not to fall." was Trunks' response.
They resumed walking, Makoto was still holding Trunks' arm, happy that her
maneuver worked. The purple hair boy, on the other hand, didn't mind if she
was holding his arm, as a matter of fact, he didn't even seem to noticed.
"Hu... Makoto?" Trunks told her.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Can I ask you a question?" he said.
"Sure! [Is he going to ask me out on a date?]"
"Do you remember what happened yesterday at the puppet show?" he continued.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Those girls that were fighting the monster, who were they?"
"Well, (a little disappointed about the question) those were the Sailor
Senshi. They fight for love and justice." she answered.
"*Love* and Justice?? [Wow! Is that corny or what?]" he repeated a little
surprised.
"Is there something wrong about that?"
"No... not really. [Just sounds corny that's all.]" he told her "Do they
usually appear and beat up monsters?"
"Well sure, each time a monster appears threatening the citizens, they show
up." she responded.
"You're telling me this as if a monster on the rampage was a daily thing."
the Sayan hybrid pointed out a little surprise "Is it?"
"Well not exactly. I mean... It isn't normal, but each time a monster
appears they show up." she explained.
"And does a couple of girls in mini-skirts using some weird powers are
considered normal?" Trunks asked again.
"Well... Yes." she answered a little confused.
"You mean people don't ask questions about them?" he asked once more.
"Well, sure they do. But they make dolls and sell video games instead of
investigating, people consider them more like some sort of publicity than
anything else."
"It must really be tough on them, to be seen that way" Trunks declared.
"You really think so?" Makoto asked him as she smiled, no one she ever met
though that way before. Most of the people she knew told her how cool they
were, but no one ever thought of them as human beeings.
"Sure I do. People should like them for what they do instead of treating
them as some sort of merchandise." Trunks answered. He then noticed that
Makoto was smiling at him "Wh... what? Was it something I said?"
"No. Nothing at all. I just... didn't knew you thought that way, that's
all." she answered "Is there anything else you want to know?"
"Not really." he responded "Thanks for filling me in, Makoto."
"By the way, Trunks." she added "You can call me Mako-chan like all my
friends do."
"Hun... sure... if you want me to." he said.
"Trunks?" she said.
"Yes?"
"How do your friends call you?" she asked him.
"They call me by my name." he answered a little confused "Why do you ask?"
"Well..." she said "Can I call you Trunks-kun?"
"Well... er... sure... that's fine by me." he told her still a little
confused.
"Oh! And another thing..." she said "Would you like to..." she was suddenly
interrupted by a bipping sound that came from her pocket [Uh Oh, there's
trouble.] "Um... I have to go now." she told him "See you tomorrow at
school." as she left Trunks behind.
"Hun... Yeah, whatever..." Trunks said not very sure of what just happened,
although he did managed to hear a bipping sound.
On another street, Makoto took out her communicator after making sure that
no one saw her:
"Makoto here, what is it?" she asked to the person on the other side of the
line.
"Mako-chan, there's a new monster attacking the central mall, we need your
help!" said Rei "Hurry up!"
"Okay, I'll be right there!" she responded, then she turned off her
communicator "JUPITER POWER MAKEUP!"
Meanwhile, Trunks who was now alone, was walking home. He suddenly stopped
and thought.
[Since I'm now going to school I might as well get myself a uniform and a
school bag.]
He decided to go to a shop instead of home, after all, he didn't have much
to do.
[I still can't believe I got stuck in this mess,] he thought [if I ever knew
they were going to send me to school I wouldn't have accepted that
invitation from Usagi in the first place.] sigh
It only took him a few minutes to find a shop that was open. After finding a
uniform that fit and a school bag, he was ready to be on his way back home.
[Maybe this won't be so bad.] he thought again [I'll might get a chance to
know this place better by being a student.]
Suddenly, outside the shop, a bunch of people ran through screaming and
yelling. Trunks came out of the shop to see what was all commotion about.
He managed to stop one of the terrified citizens and asked him what was
going on.
"A monster appeared at the central mall!" the guy said "It started wreaking
the place... the Sailor Senshi came to the rescue... it's a mad house over
there!"
He released the guy and went to the mall. The area was now desolated,
everyone ran away, but Trunks could sense a fight inside the building. Since
no one was watching, he used the Bukujutsu technique to fly to the top of
the mall, thinking it would be better if he came from above.
Once inside, the purple hair boy could clearly see what was happening. The
Senshi were fighting a monster, or at least three of them were. Sailor Moon
and Sailor Mars were lying on the ground K.O. The other Senshi were having
a hard time against the monster.
Unlike the previous monster, this one was 100% metal with an extra pair of
arms and arachnid legs.
[Those girls are having a hard time against that thing!] Trunks thought
[Where's that Tuxedo guy to help them out? I've got to help them! But how?]
Suddenly, an idea came to Trunks' mind. He started looking around the mall
until he found a disguise shop. He immediately went inside searching for
something.
"SUPREME THUNDER!" Sailor Jupiter shouted as an electric bolt came out of
her tiara striking the android. Her foe created an energy barrier protecting
it from the blast.
"Darn! We're getting nowhere like this!" Sailor Venus said "Sailor Mercury,
haven't you found that thing's weak point yet?"
"Not yet!" she spoke while consulting her computer.
The monster stared at the remaining Senshi preparing his next attack. All of
his arms started spinning as drills, making the kind of noise you hear when
you go see your dentist. He dashed towards the Senshi arms first.
"Take cover!" shouted Sailor Jupiter.
All the Senshi closed there eyes (Now why should that help?) expecting the
worst. At that precise second, about a dozen ki spheres struck the android.
Although his barrier protected him, the impact sent him against a wall
instead of its targets.
The three Senshi turned to see who was there savior. What they saw was a
blond guy dressed in brown leather boots and black clothes. He was carrying
a sword on his back and wore a black mask which hid his face. Although the
most impresive thing about him was a) the fact that he was levitating next
to them, and b) the golden aura that surrounded him.
It was Trunks in Super Saiyan mode. He managed to find a Zorro outfit in the
shop but he wasn't using the cape or the hat (he didn't like those).
"If you're so eager to fight someone..." Trunks said trying to use a
different tone of voice "I'll take you on!" as he flew towards his adversary.
The android regained its defensive pose waiting for its opponent, he was
quite confused as he noticed he couldn't read his moves or determine his
position. The metal menace was receiving one blow after another while being
unable to parry or counterattack. It was finally sent against another wall.
The impact also cause its shield to stop working.
Trunks suddenly appeared a few feet in front of him, he held both hands
forward, did some strange arm moves, and then put both hands forward again,
index fingers and thumbs touching.
"BURNING ATTACK!" he shouted releasing a huge ki blast from the palm of his
hands. The blast struck the monster turning it into scrap metal. The Senshi
were amazed by what they just saw, they couldn't even see him hit the
creature.
"Wh... What did he do?" Sailor Venus asked "I wasn't even able to see most
of his moves!"
The other two Senshi nodded in agreement, they couldn't find the words to
express what they just saw. Trunks slowly flew towards the three girls which
looked at him very amazed.
"Are you girls all right?" he asked.
"Y... yes... thank you." Sailor Mercury finally said.
"Here." Trunks said as he pulled two seeds out of a pouch he had on his belt
and gave them to her. It was a good thing he visited Karim-sama before
leaving in his time travel, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars seemed to be in
need of a senzu.
"Give these to your friends." he added "All there wounds will be healed
immediately." he then started to levitate heading towards a nearby window.
"WAIT!!!" Sailor Venus shouted "Who are you?"
"[Uh oh, I didn't think of a name!] Er.......You can call me......er.......
SUPER SAIYA-MAN!!!!!!!" he shouted back as he left through the window.
"Super Saiya-man???" repeated the three Senshi still in amazement.
End of chapter 3.

Author's notes:
I really hope I'm doing this the right way, I'm not 100% sure if all the
characters in this fanfic normally act the way I'm making them act. I have
to admit that I haven't got a clue if Future Trunks is a good student or
enjoys studying. But since this is MY fanfic I thought it would be fun if I
made Trunks act like most teenagers who hate school. And as for the Sailor
Senshi, I really hope I didn't exaggerated with Makoto's lust for men.
See you in chapter 4...

AND NOW ON WITH....
Chapter 3: A new hero enters the spotlight.
"Excuse me miss..." he said.
"Yes? What can I do for you young man?" asked the lady responding to the
teenager with purple hair that stood next to her.
"I was wondering if you could tell me where you kept your geography and
history books." Trunks responded.
"Certainly." she said "The geography section is on the second floor and our
history books are at the end of that corridor." pointing to her left.
After thanking the lady, Trunks went towards the history section of the
library.
He spent most of the day repairing the time machine, but without the adapter
that would arrive in about a month there was nothing else he could do but
wait. Therefore, he decided to go to a library and learn more about the
world he would be staying in for the next month. Trunks, unlike his mother,
was no rocket scientist, and studding was certainly not one of his hobbies,
from where he came, you had to learn more about self defense than
mathematics. Maybe Gohan was the exception, but Trunks didn't share the same
kind of interests.
He then took a pile of books, headed towards a nearby table and took a seat.
"Okay... here we go." he said grabbing the first book with a bored expression.
It's not as if he had a choice. Yesterday, Ami, Usagi and Makoto were asking
him a lot of questions. If it wasn't for that monster that appeared
interrupting their little chat, they might of guessed that he didn't came
from this world. In other words, Trunks had to be ready to answer a lot of
questions, like "Where do you come from?" "How did you get here?" "Where do
your parents live?" etc....
Meanwhile, at Hikawa temple:
"Well, girls. We certainly have a new enemy." Luna spoke.
"You're not kidding." Minako added "That werewolf was really tough."
"Any idea where did it came from, Luna?" asked Ami.
"Not a clue." she answered "And that worries me, It didn't look like the
other enemies we've faced before..."
"What are you talking about?" asked Usagi "What made him so different?"
"Think, stupid!" Rei told her "It wasn't after peoples energy like the other
foes we've faced."
"Well Excuuuuuuuuse me for not noticing!!" she said "And who are you calling
Stupid?" as she stuck out her tongue.
"Well who do you think???" was Rei's answer as she stuck out her tongue also.
"Girls! Could you save that for later?" Artemis demanded "We have to find a
way to deal with this problem."
"Tell me, Rei?" Luna asked her "That feeling you had two days ago about some
weird energy, have you felt that again lately?"
"Well now that you mention it..." she said "I did have that exact same
feeling while we were fighting that werewolf yesterday."
"Tell us more about it." Artemis insisted "Did it came from the monster?"
"Well....no." she responded "But it did came from near the area where we
were fighting. Besides, I only felt it for a second."
"You're sure it didn't came from that monster?" Ami asked.
"Absolutely."
"Well, maybe that energy has something to do with the monster appearing out
of nowhere." Minako suggested.
"But what are we supposed to do?" Usagi asked "How about you Mako-chan? What
do you th..."
It was then that everybody noticed that Makoto wasn't paying attention since
the beginning of the reunion, she was stareing at the roof all the time
while making big dreamy eyes.
"Wasn't he great?" she said "The way he saved that poor boy from death...
sigh..."
Everybody was looking confused at Makoto especially Minako and Rei who
didn't knew who Trunks was.
"Hey, Usagi." Minako asked "Who's she talking about?"
"Some guy named Trunks she met yesterday." Usagi told her.
"You mean she hardly knows him?" Rei brought up "Hey Mako-chan, are you sure
he's *the one*? You hardly know him?"
"That doesn't matter!!!" Usagi stated (striking a pose pointing with her
index finger towards the heavens. We see the background turn like the fourth
of July) "Each woman must follow her quest for love in search of the ideal
guy, I trust that Mako-chan's choice in men SHALL bring her happiness!!!!!"
Everyone now stares at Usagi (The 4th of July background fades away).
"Well he is cute..." she explained.
"Usagi is right." Ami added "And besides, he also has a great butt."
Now everybody stares at Ami, obviously they didn't expect HER to make that
kind of remark.
"WELL WHAT??" she said unable to keep herself from blushing "I'm allowed to
make that kind of observation once in a life time, aren't I??"
As time went on, the five girls left the temple heading to the Tsukino
house. Usagi invited all four of them to have supper at her place.
"So, Mako-chan?" Rei brought up "Tell us about this guy Trunks."
"Yeah! Tell us what makes him so special." Minako added.
"Well I really don't know much about him." Makoto answered "Besides the fact
that he's really cute and that he's a foreigner."
"If he's so cute maybe he already has a girlfriend." Rei suggested. Makoto's
happy expression was immediately replaced by a serious one.
"Nice going, Rei!" Usagi told her "You really know how to break a smile in
a girl's face."
"Hey! It's something she should consider!" Rei stated in her defence "He
might have a girlfriend!"
"I really hope he doesn't..." Makoto said slightly depressed.
"Oh dear." exclaimed Ami.
"What? What is it?" Usagi asked her.
"I forgot to return this book to the library." she answered "Is it okay if
we pass to library before they close Usagi?"
"Sure. Where is it?" Usagi asked.
"It's a few blocks from your house." Ami told her as she sweat dropped.
"Of course that's something you wouldn't know." Rei added "The day we see
*you* in a library will be the end of the world as well."
Everybody began to laugh, except Usagi who was glaring at Rei.
At the library (which by coincidence was the same Trunks was at the moment):
"Why hello, Ami." the library lady said "What brings you here today?"
"Good evening." she said politely "I came to return this book." handing over
the book.
"Finished already?" the lady said surprised "Any other books that you might
be interested in? We just got that new book you wanted."
"Great! Where is it?"
"Over there." she pointed "By the literature section."
The five girls went to the aisle next to were Trunks was.
Both groups not noticing the other. Trunks was almost asleep after so many
books he read, eventhough he only understood half of them.
"Let's see......Hum.........here it is." Ami said as she pulled out the book
from the shelf. As she did, an opening was made between the two aisle and
Amy could see Trunks on the other side.
"Oh my, isn't that Trunks over there?" she added.
"Where?" Makoto asked showing spontaneous interest, then moving Ami one side
to be able to see Trunks "It is him!"
"Well, let us see!" Minako demanded as she took Makoto's place "We want to
know what he looks like.............Wow, he really is good looking."
"Let me see! Let me see! Let me see!" Rei insisted.
"Usagi..." Makoto said as she turned towards Usagi "Can I ask you a favor?"
"Un... Sure." she said a little confused.
"Would it be too much trouble if you could invite Trunks to have supper with
us at your house?" Makoto asked hopefully "I would really appreciate that."
"Sure. But what's going to be my excuse for bumping into him?"
"Hi, girls." said a voice behind them, it was Trunks who was returning the
books he borrowed.
"WHHAAAAAA..." screamed the girls in surprise.
'SHHHHHHHHHHHHH' said the other people in the library.
"Oh. Trunks. It's you." said Usagi holding her chest still in a little bit
of shock "We didn't hear you."
"What a coincidence to find you here." Makoto exclaimed "What are you doing
here anyway?"
"Just came here to read some books." Trunks answered showing the books he
was reading "What about you?"
"We came accompanying Ami in search of a book." Minako told him "By the way,
I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Minako Aino"
"And I'm Rei Hino." Rei added "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you both, I'm Trunks" he said.
"Trunks, we were wondering..." Usagi brought out "Would you like to join us
for supper at my house. Everybody is coming."
"Well... I don't know..." he responded, after all they seemed determined to
find out more about him "I wouldn't want to impose on your family."
"Don't worry" Usagi replied "You're our guest of honor, we still haven't
thanked you formally for saving Mako-chan yesterday."
"Thank me... formally?" he asked [What is she talking about. You girls have
already thanked me about three time each. How much formal can you get?]
"You saved Mako-chan?" Minako and Rei asked simultaneously "If that's the
case we insist you tell us more about that during supper."
"Besides," Usagi added "we never got to finish our chat yesterday because of
that monster, we still have a lot of things to ask you."
"Hun... right ... our chat yesterday..." Trunks said now even less convinced.
"Come on." Ami insisted "You'll love the way Usagi's mother cooks."
Well... it *was* late and Trunks had nothing to eat so far, not to mention
that refusing a free meal from these girls would be rude.
"Okay. I'll join you." he said [What's the worst thing that could happen?]
A few moments later Trunks and the girls are walking down the street to
Usagi's house. Makoto is walking next to Trunks, he on the other hand is
thinking of the answers he would have to come up with if he was interviewed.
"Welcome home, Usagi." Said her mother "I see you brought visitors. Who
might this young man be?" looking at Trunks with a friendly smile.
"My name is Trunks" he said "Pleased to meet you."
"Well it's always nice to see our daughter making new friends." Usagi's
father said, suddenly appearing next to his wife "Please come in."
"Trunks." Usagi brought out "This is my mother and father, and that over
there (pointing at a boy playing Nintendo) is my obnoxious little brother
Shingo!"
"I heard that!" Shingo said out loud.
"Why don't we all sit down for supper." Usagi's mother suggested "The food's
ready!"
Everyone sat down at the table, Makoto and Minako were next to Trunks, in
front of him were Usagi's parents, at the right and left side of the table
were Ami, Shingo, Usagi and Rei.
"So, Trunks?" asked Usagi's father as he started the conversation "Where are
you from?" everybody looked at Trunks as he became the center of attraction.
"I'm come from America." he said as he remembered that name from one of the
books he read earlier.
"Really?" asked Mrs. Tsukino "You speak Japanese very well for being an
American."
"Yeah... un... well... er... my mother is Japanese." he lied.
"Oh that explains it."
"Well anyway." Mr. Tsukino continued "Tell us what brings you all the way
here."
"That's right." Ami added "You told us you got here by accident."
"Well..." Trunks responded as he tried to explain "I think you could say I
made a wrong turn."
No one was quite sure of what he meant by that, but Usagi's father nodded
instead.
"I see, those occidental air lines are a real mess. I remember when I last
used one." he claimed "Anyway, it must be very hard for you to be on your
own in a place like Tokyo."
"There's no need to worry, sir." Trunks replied "I can take care of myself."
"Maybe so." Mr. Tsukino said "But does your family knows where you are?"
"Yes, they're aware."
"And what about your girlfriend?" Makoto asked nervously awaiting for an
answer "She must be worried."
"I... don't have a girlfriend." Trunks responded a little confused by that
type of question.
"NO WAY!!!" said the five girls at the same time "NO GIRLFRIEND????" Makoto
suddenly regained that happy look on her face.
"Well... yeah... What's so strange about that?" he asked still confused.
"It's very unusual that such a handsome boy as yourself doesn't have a
girlfriend." Mrs. Tsukino explained.
"Handsome??? Who? Me?" Trunks asked even more confused and no less
embarassed. No woman ever told him he was good looking, (Well maybe his
mother that didn't really count) he was surprised by that kind of remark.
Where he came from it didn't matter if you were pretty or not, what counted
was how well you fought.
"Anyway." interrupted Mr. Tsukino trying to change the subject as he saw how
Trunks was getting a little embarrassed "How long will you be staying in
Japan?"
"Well I'm not sure." he said "I think I'll be here for a month or so."
"Why such a long time?" Mrs. Tsukino asked "If you're in the wrong place,
shouldn't you try to get home as soon as possible?"
"I tried." he answered "But I'm having problems with my... er... passport!
It'll be about a month before everything is fixed."
"I see." Mr. Tsukino went on "And what about school?"
"What about it?"
"Aren't going to school while you're staying here?" he asked him.
"Well... not really." Trunks answered.
"How can that be?" Mrs. Tsukino asked quite surprised.
"Well... er..." Trunks said as he was trying to find an excuse "As I told
you earlier... hum... I had a few problems with my documents and therefore I
can't enter school. [I hope they'll buy that]"
"Oh, so that's why you were at the library?" Ami brought out "Since you
can't enter school you're studding there instead."
"Er......Yes! That's right!" Trunks lied.
"Well if an adult's permission is the only thing you need to get into
school..." Mr. Tsukino started "Then we can help you, Trunks."
"You can? [Uh oh, I don't like the sound of this.]" Trunks asked not very
happy about the idea.
"Why certainly!" Mr. Tsukino assured "I'll personally inscribe you to
Usagi's school tomorrow morning."
"That's a great idea, dad!" Usagi declared.
"I really wouldn't want to trouble you." Trunks said trying to find a way
out of this mess.
"It's no trouble at all!" Mrs. Tsukino confirmed "We certainly can't let you
fall behind in your studies. Besides, I'm sure your parents would want you
to keep studying while you're here."
"Uh... Yeah... I guess... [Aww man, what have I got myself into???]" he said
knowing he was now doomed.
"You'll be able to start school tomorrow morning." Mr. Tsukino stated.
"And we can help you catch up in your school work as well?" Ami added.
"Thanks, you're all really too kind. [Great, now I'm stuck with school!]"
"Well, anyway." Minako said trying to change the subject "Enough about
school. Tell me Trunks, do you by any chance have any older brothers?"
"No, not really, I'm an only son."
"Hun, too bad." she said a little disappointed.
"By the way Trunks..." Makoto asked "Have you found a place to stay?"
"Because if you haven't..." Mrs. Tsukino added "There's always a place here."
"I've already found a place. I wouldn't want to trouble you. You've already
done more than enough for me. [More than enough trouble that is!!]" Trunks
explained. The last thing he needed now was to stay with them.
"Anyway..." Usagi said "Mako-chan told us you were a great martial artist.
What technique do you use?"
"I don't really use any technique in particular, I learn a little from
everything I see and try to create my own style." he responded a little
less nervous now that they were asking him of things he knew of.
The rest of the evening went more smoothly, the other questions Usagi, Rei,
Ami, Minako and especially Makoto asked Trunks were easier to answer, most
of them where about what he liked and disliked and stuff like that.
Soon it was 6:00 PM and everybody was about to leave.
"Thanks again for inviting me." Trunks said as he and the other girls were
about to leave.
"Don't mention it, it's the least we could do." Usagi stated "I'll see you
tomorrow at school, Okay?"
"Hun... right... school..." he responded still not very happy about that
concept.
Everyone left Usagi's house in a different direction, Trunks was now
thinking about his new problem.
"Trunks! Wait up!" said a voice behind him, it was Makoto "Where are you
heading?"
"Home." he answered.
"Oh! You live at the north side? What a coincidence, so do I. Mind if I join
you?" she asked (Most of you Sailor Moon fans might noticed that this is a
typical maneuver that the Senshi use to get men, especially when in this
case, Makoto lives in the exact *opposite* direction Trunks does.)
"Sure, no problem." he told her.
They were walking down the street, Trunks was still thinking about his
current situation, and as for Makoto, she was waiting for an opportunity to
make her move. She slowly began to let Trunks ahead of her. Then she
pretended to trip over some inexistent object, launching herself towards
the sayan hybrid and grabbing his arm so she wouldn't fall. The end result
was obvious, she managed to grab Trunks by the arm (Yet another Sailor
Senshi tactic to get men!).
"Oups!" she said innocently as she held his arm.
"Be careful not to fall." was Trunks' response.
They resumed walking, Makoto was still holding Trunks' arm, happy that her
maneuver worked. The purple hair boy, on the other hand, didn't mind if she
was holding his arm, as a matter of fact, he didn't even seem to noticed.
"Hu... Makoto?" Trunks told her.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Can I ask you a question?" he said.
"Sure! [Is he going to ask me out on a date?]"
"Do you remember what happened yesterday at the puppet show?" he continued.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Those girls that were fighting the monster, who were they?"
"Well, (a little disappointed about the question) those were the Sailor
Senshi. They fight for love and justice." she answered.
"*Love* and Justice?? [Wow! Is that corny or what?]" he repeated a little
surprised.
"Is there something wrong about that?"
"No... not really. [Just sounds corny that's all.]" he told her "Do they
usually appear and beat up monsters?"
"Well sure, each time a monster appears threatening the citizens, they show
up." she responded.
"You're telling me this as if a monster on the rampage was a daily thing."
the Sayan hybrid pointed out a little surprise "Is it?"
"Well not exactly. I mean... It isn't normal, but each time a monster
appears they show up." she explained.
"And does a couple of girls in mini-skirts using some weird powers are
considered normal?" Trunks asked again.
"Well... Yes." she answered a little confused.
"You mean people don't ask questions about them?" he asked once more.
"Well, sure they do. But they make dolls and sell video games instead of
investigating, people consider them more like some sort of publicity than
anything else."
"It must really be tough on them, to be seen that way" Trunks declared.
"You really think so?" Makoto asked him as she smiled, no one she ever met
though that way before. Most of the people she knew told her how cool they
were, but no one ever thought of them as human beeings.
"Sure I do. People should like them for what they do instead of treating
them as some sort of merchandise." Trunks answered. He then noticed that
Makoto was smiling at him "Wh... what? Was it something I said?"
"No. Nothing at all. I just... didn't knew you thought that way, that's
all." she answered "Is there anything else you want to know?"
"Not really." he responded "Thanks for filling me in, Makoto."
"By the way, Trunks." she added "You can call me Mako-chan like all my
friends do."
"Hun... sure... if you want me to." he said.
"Trunks?" she said.
"Yes?"
"How do your friends call you?" she asked him.
"They call me by my name." he answered a little confused "Why do you ask?"
"Well..." she said "Can I call you Trunks-kun?"
"Well... er... sure... that's fine by me." he told her still a little
confused.
"Oh! And another thing..." she said "Would you like to..." she was suddenly
interrupted by a bipping sound that came from her pocket [Uh Oh, there's
trouble.] "Um... I have to go now." she told him "See you tomorrow at
school." as she left Trunks behind.
"Hun... Yeah, whatever..." Trunks said not very sure of what just happened,
although he did managed to hear a bipping sound.
On another street, Makoto took out her communicator after making sure that
no one saw her:
"Makoto here, what is it?" she asked to the person on the other side of the
line.
"Mako-chan, there's a new monster attacking the central mall, we need your
help!" said Rei "Hurry up!"
"Okay, I'll be right there!" she responded, then she turned off her
communicator "JUPITER POWER MAKEUP!"
Meanwhile, Trunks who was now alone, was walking home. He suddenly stopped
and thought.
[Since I'm now going to school I might as well get myself a uniform and a
school bag.]
He decided to go to a shop instead of home, after all, he didn't have much
to do.
[I still can't believe I got stuck in this mess,] he thought [if I ever knew
they were going to send me to school I wouldn't have accepted that
invitation from Usagi in the first place.] sigh
It only took him a few minutes to find a shop that was open. After finding a
uniform that fit and a school bag, he was ready to be on his way back home.
[Maybe this won't be so bad.] he thought again [I'll might get a chance to
know this place better by being a student.]
Suddenly, outside the shop, a bunch of people ran through screaming and
yelling. Trunks came out of the shop to see what was all commotion about.
He managed to stop one of the terrified citizens and asked him what was
going on.
"A monster appeared at the central mall!" the guy said "It started wreaking
the place... the Sailor Senshi came to the rescue... it's a mad house over
there!"
He released the guy and went to the mall. The area was now desolated,
everyone ran away, but Trunks could sense a fight inside the building. Since
no one was watching, he used the Bukujutsu technique to fly to the top of
the mall, thinking it would be better if he came from above.
Once inside, the purple hair boy could clearly see what was happening. The
Senshi were fighting a monster, or at least three of them were. Sailor Moon
and Sailor Mars were lying on the ground K.O. The other Senshi were having
a hard time against the monster.
Unlike the previous monster, this one was 100% metal with an extra pair of
arms and arachnid legs.
[Those girls are having a hard time against that thing!] Trunks thought
[Where's that Tuxedo guy to help them out? I've got to help them! But how?]
Suddenly, an idea came to Trunks' mind. He started looking around the mall
until he found a disguise shop. He immediately went inside searching for
something.
"SUPREME THUNDER!" Sailor Jupiter shouted as an electric bolt came out of
her tiara striking the android. Her foe created an energy barrier protecting
it from the blast.
"Darn! We're getting nowhere like this!" Sailor Venus said "Sailor Mercury,
haven't you found that thing's weak point yet?"
"Not yet!" she spoke while consulting her computer.
The monster stared at the remaining Senshi preparing his next attack. All of
his arms started spinning as drills, making the kind of noise you hear when
you go see your dentist. He dashed towards the Senshi arms first.
"Take cover!" shouted Sailor Jupiter.
All the Senshi closed there eyes (Now why should that help?) expecting the
worst. At that precise second, about a dozen ki spheres struck the android.
Although his barrier protected him, the impact sent him against a wall
instead of its targets.
The three Senshi turned to see who was there savior. What they saw was a
blond guy dressed in brown leather boots and black clothes. He was carrying
a sword on his back and wore a black mask which hid his face. Although the
most impresive thing about him was a) the fact that he was levitating next
to them, and b) the golden aura that surrounded him.
It was Trunks in Super Saiyan mode. He managed to find a Zorro outfit in the
shop but he wasn't using the cape or the hat (he didn't like those).
"If you're so eager to fight someone..." Trunks said trying to use a
different tone of voice "I'll take you on!" as he flew towards his adversary.
The android regained its defensive pose waiting for its opponent, he was
quite confused as he noticed he couldn't read his moves or determine his
position. The metal menace was receiving one blow after another while being
unable to parry or counterattack. It was finally sent against another wall.
The impact also cause its shield to stop working.
Trunks suddenly appeared a few feet in front of him, he held both hands
forward, did some strange arm moves, and then put both hands forward again,
index fingers and thumbs touching.
"BURNING ATTACK!" he shouted releasing a huge ki blast from the palm of his
hands. The blast struck the monster turning it into scrap metal. The Senshi
were amazed by what they just saw, they couldn't even see him hit the
creature.
"Wh... What did he do?" Sailor Venus asked "I wasn't even able to see most
of his moves!"
The other two Senshi nodded in agreement, they couldn't find the words to
express what they just saw. Trunks slowly flew towards the three girls which
looked at him very amazed.
"Are you girls all right?" he asked.
"Y... yes... thank you." Sailor Mercury finally said.
"Here." Trunks said as he pulled two seeds out of a pouch he had on his belt
and gave them to her. It was a good thing he visited Karim-sama before
leaving in his time travel, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars seemed to be in
need of a senzu.
"Give these to your friends." he added "All there wounds will be healed
immediately." he then started to levitate heading towards a nearby window.
"WAIT!!!" Sailor Venus shouted "Who are you?"
"[Uh oh, I didn't think of a name!] Er.......You can call me......er.......
SUPER SAIYA-MAN!!!!!!!" he shouted back as he left through the window.
"Super Saiya-man???" repeated the three Senshi still in amazement.
End of chapter 3.

Author's notes:
I really hope I'm doing this the right way, I'm not 100% sure if all the
characters in this fanfic normally act the way I'm making them act. I have
to admit that I haven't got a clue if Future Trunks is a good student or
enjoys studying. But since this is MY fanfic I thought it would be fun if I
made Trunks act like most teenagers who hate school. And as for the Sailor
Senshi, I really hope I didn't exaggerated with Makoto's lust for men.
See you in chapter 4...
