"So what do you think?"
Krillin and Yamcha were seated together under the shade of a tree. Both studied Usagi and her
friends.
Krillin tilted his head to the side, "Think about what?"
Yamcha rolled his eyes. "About Usagi's friends!"
Krillin scratched his head, "What about them?"
Yamcha sighed exasperated. "Which one of them would you go for you baka!"
Krillin stared at him aghast. "Yamcha! They're all Usagi's age! Usagi is a child! You ecchi!"
Yamcha laughed, "You really are a baka aren't you? Don't think you think Usagi is beautiful?"
Krillin didn't like where this was leading. "Hai but..."
"That hasn't got anything to do with age ne?"
"Iie but..."
"So which of Usagi's little friends do you like??? Besides..." Yamcha's eye lingered on an
unaware Michiru. "Not all of them are Usagi's age."
Krillin's eyes followed Yamcha's gaze, seeing who it landed on, started to laugh. "Oh Yamcha
you have the worst taste in girls!"
Yamcha was baffled. "What do you mean? Look at her, she's stunning!"
Krillin couldn't stop laughing. "And you call me a baka! You see her?" He pointed to Haruka.
Yamcha nodded, "Hai - she's cute too."
Krillin rolled his eyes. "I have a feeling that if you say that to her, she'd punch your lights out."
"Nani?!"
Krillin shook his head, "Just watch them would you?"
As the two watched, Haruka made her way to Michiru's side. Seeing her approach, Michiru
stood. Haruka took her hand, and pulled her into her lap.
Yamcha's eyes widened as he watched them.
Haruka took Michiru's hand and lightly played with her fingers. Michiru bent her head closer
to Haruka in order to hear her better.
Krillin smirked when he saw Yamcha's expression. "You have the worst taste..."
Michiru sighed, "A whole year..."
Haruka nodded thoughtfully, keeping her eye on the baka who had been staring at her Michiru.
"Hai, a whole year. I don't know if I could bear it." She frowned at Michiru. "And you agreed
to it so readily!"
Michiru chuckled at the accusatory tone in Haruka's voice. "Hai I did. But you have to agree
that there's logic in what Usagi said."
Haruka blew out her breath, "Hai..."
"Then stop complaining. I'm actually excited."
Haruka frowned at that comment. "Excited? Excited to be spending a whole year away from me?!"
Michiru shook her head, "Iie Haru-chan! Excited at the prospect of dedicating a year to improving.
To finetuning my abilities!"
Haruka sighed, still not convinced. "At least you'd be with Ami-chan. I on the other hand would
be spending an entire year with that brat they call Rei."
Michiru rolled her eyes, "I know Rei can be difficult at times, but so can you! Usagi is perfectly
right in putting you together." She glanced at Makoto who was still sulking. "Makoto is luckier then
she realises."
Haruka frowned again, "Dooshite? Because she'd be holed up with that youma?!"
Michiru frowned at her. "He's not a youma Haruka."
Haruka snorted. "Oh, is that how you like 'em Michi? Big, strong and dumb?"
Michiru pushed herself off Haruka's lap. "Haruka! Aisheteru - you know that! Piccolo-san is
not like that!"
Haruka glared at her, "Why are you defending him?"
Michiru rolled her eyes, and kissed Haruka gently. "Aisheteru - now damare."
"It's time."
All of the senshi looked up at Mr. Popo, who stood staring at the door. Each of them tense,
nerves on end...
The door opened slowly, light flooding out.
Goku was the first to step out. His clothing torn, face streaked with dirt but with a jubilant grin on
his handsome face.
Vegeta snorted but refrained from saying anything.
Goku winked at Usagi as he passed, and she smiled at him. She was afraid that the time passed in
the Room would change Goku, but Goku was as he always was.
Gohan immerged after his otousan and Usagi was struck by the difference in him.
His black hair was long, tied back carelessly with a bit of cord. His eyes were dark, and for once
Usagi could not read the expression in them. The year had taken its toll on him.
She could feel the power emanating from both of them. She only hoped that it would be enough.
Before Goku could say anything, Mr Popo came back with trays of food.
Goku's face lit up with pure jubilation.
Mr. Popo smiled at him, "I've learnt."
"Gee - arigato Mr. Popo!"
Before Usagi could process what was happening, Trunks swept past her. He grabbed her hand
pulling her towards the Room.
"Matte!"
He turned to her. "Nani?"
Usagi pulled away from him and ran to catch up with Gohan. "Gohan!"
Gohan continued to walk. He knew that if he was to be of any use to her, he had to be focused.
Focused - not distracted...looking at her would seriously distract him.
"Gohan...onegai..."
Hearing the plea in her voice he slowed down.
"Gohan..." she looked up at him. He seemed so hard. So uncaring.
He turned to her, his dark eyes revealing nothing.
She could find nothing to say, so settled for a meaningless goodbye. "See you in a year Gohan."
Gohan gazed into her fathomless blue eyes. "See you in a day Usagi."
"Come on Usa!"
Usagi took one last look at him, then at her friends.
They looked at her, unsure whether to let her go in there with a man other then the Terran Prince.
She smiled at them reassuringly, she flashed the V sign, and she ran to catch up with Trunks.
Rei stared after her, then glanced thoughtfully at the pensive Gohan.
The door closed on them.
* * *
"This is it?"
She looked around the Room. She had imagined something bigger, mind-boggling. Not a little
house.
Trunks grabbed her hand, "Check this out."
He led her out, and she stopped as she gazed out at perfect nothingness.
"Oh Kami-sama!"
Trunks chuckled, seeing her expression. "Impressive huh? That was exactly what I said the
first time I saw this place."
Usagi glanced at him, "You were with Vegeta hai?"
Trunks nodded, "Let me tell you the man is a loner - but he's the only Otou-san I know. My own
otou-san in my timeline died before I even knew him. What surprises me is how he acts towards
my Okaa-san."
Usagi smiled. "They're really in love."
Trunks laughed, "Hai - but don't say that to my Otou-san!"
Usagi laughed. She stepped out, but was slammed into the ground.
"Oops - forgot to tell you that the gravity in here is about twenty times that of Earth."
"Could've told me sooner." Usagi grunted, struggling to her knees.
Trunks sighed, and watched her.
Usagi glanced at him, sweat dripping into her eyes, "Aren't you going to help me?"
"Iie."
Usagi snorted, and struggled to her feet. She had felt gravity weigh upon her before - but it was
something that she now had to get used to. Finally she managed to stand on shaky legs.
She drew in a slow breath. She had to take this slow.
Trunks grinned at her, and left her to get used to the gravity.
"Matte! Trunks-kun!!!!"
Trunks turned to her again, "Nani?"
"You can't just leave me here!"
Trunks laughed, "I'm not leaving you Usa - just catch up."
That said; he flew off.
Usagi stared after him in disbelief. She narrowed her eyes, and swiftly formed a ki ball in
her palm and threw it after him.
She waited a moment, then in the distance she heard a yelp then...
"USAGI!"
* * *
Minako and Rei went to sit with Makoto, preparing to wile away another day.
"Really Minako-chan, you're the only lucky one." Rei sighed, "If I didn't know better I'd
say that Usagi hated us."
Makoto snorted. "Don't say anything - you're not stuck with a green youma!"
Minako tilted her head to the side. "I thought you liked green?"
"Not on a youma!"
Rei studied Piccolo who was as he always was - meditating. "You know if he didn't have
antennas and wasn't green he'd be cute."
Makoto stared at her aghast.
Rei noticed the look, "Nani? Look at him Mako - try imagining him...not green."
Makoto shook her head, refusing to look at him, "Iie, its impossible." she sighed.
"Why oh why couldn't she put me with one of you? Or if not, with another of them?
Maybe that one." She pointed to Yamcha. "He's not bad."
Minako looked around, "Where's Ami?"
Rei pointed to Ami, who stood with Bulma, "Over there, with Bulma."
"Fascinating! To think how advanced your technology is!"
Bulma laughed, she liked Ami. "Tell you what, when this is all over you and I can go
to my labs and stay in there for a month."
Ami grinned at her, then she thought, "But when all of this is all over, wouldn't the two
worlds separate once more?"
Bulma nodded thoughtfully, "I guess..."
"What if we find a way to separate the worlds now? That way Cell would probably
disappear. It's obvious he gains his energy from Kage."
"But what about Kage? That would only leave you with Kage in your world."
Ami waved that aside, "We'll handle it."
Bulma frowned. "We'll help."
Ami smiled. "Arigato."
"We can do no less anyway - Usagi is like a daughter to us." then she thought for a
second. "Make that a sister."
Ami laughed.
Bulma glanced at her husband, who was training by himself, "He'll stop soon - he'll
want food."
Ami followed her gaze, "Is he cruel to you?"
Bulma was surprised, "Cruel? To me? Never! Vegeta may not show it - but I know he
loves me. He would die for me. People don't realise that." she glanced at her husband
again. "He's amazing - just don't say it to him. He already knows it."
Ami smiled. "I've always wanted to find someone like that. I mean it's kind of hard for
me - there's always unmei."
Bulma frowned, "What does that have to do with anything?"
"It's everything." Ami glanced at Haruka and Michiru. "They've been in love probably
since time began. So has Usagi and Mamoru."
Bulma was interested in the comment about Usagi. "So Usagi and Mamoru are like...
destined to be together?"
Ami nodded, "Hai - their love is everlasting."
"And nothing, absolutely nothing can get in the way?"
"Absolutely nothing. They have died for each other; their love had withstood time. He
went to another country, and during this time she was chased by another, who loved
her desperately. But they withstood that. So hai - nothing can get in the way."
Bulma looked sadly at Gohan, and sighed.
Ami followed her gaze.
Bulma forced a smile on her lips, as she inwardly prayed that her son would not make
the mistake Gohan had.
~ Room ~
Trunks rubbed his ass, he glanced down and indeed what he feared was true.
The little brat had singed his pants!
He flew to her; he noted that she was now standing with apparent ease, an innocent smile
on her beautiful face.
"Look at this!"
Usagi glanced at his ass, and couldn't help but grin, "I already know you have a nice
ass Trunks-kun. What's the point of this?"
Trunks rolled his eyes. "My having a nice ass is not the point! Look what you did to
my pants! These are my favourite pants!"
Usagi rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, "Trunks, your okaa-san is the sole-owner of
the largest corporation this side of the galaxy and your otou-san is an ouiji. Do you see the
point I'm getting at here?"
Trunks sighed, "You do realise that we're not going to get out of here for a year right?
It hasn't even begun and already you're wreaking my pants!"
Usagi shook her head, "Trunks - chill. No one is going to see your singed ass but me!"
Trunks sighed, and then crossed his arms, trying to look stern. "You up to some training?"
Usagi settled into a fighting stance, "Bring it on!"
Trunks rolled his eyes, "You sure you're not going to fall on your face?"
Without warning, Usagi lashed out with a vicious high-kick, planting her foot into his face,
sending him sprawling backwards.
Trunks wiped the blood off his lip, "I guess not."
Usagi tossed stray strands of hair out of her eyes. "Come on Trunks! That little sparring
session with your otou-san wasn't enough! Get up!"
Trunks arched his eyebrows in surprise. "Vegeta couldn't satisfy your bloodlust? Interesting."
He dodged a punch then whirled to his feet, he aimed for her head, but she ducked, and
grabbed the leg.
"Iie - we weren't done yet, but remember Haruka interrupted?"
Trunks nodded, trying to free his leg, "Hai - I remember."
Usagi flipped him, but he used his hands and the force of the throw to flip himself to a
standing position.
"So what's up with that girl anyway?" He threw a ki ball at her, which she met with one
of her own.
"Haruka? What do you mean?" she rapidly threw blasts at him, some of which he dodged,
others he blocked.
"I mean isn't she a little bit overprotective?"
Usagi rolled her eyes, and blocked his punches, "They all are."
"Hmm - the whole princess and future queen thing huh?"
"Hmm..."
He could see that she no longer wanted to talk. He launched his Burning Mandala attack,
Usagi was too close to dodge the attack, so she quickly blocked it, but the force of
the attack sent her sprawling backwards. Trunks took swift advantage of the opportunity
and was upon her. Usagi rolled out of the way, ignoring the stinging in her arms. She
flipped backwards, landing on one knee.
She launched her Hyrourin Tsunami attack - an attack which had gained in speed and
strength since the first time she used it.
Trunks blocked the attack, but he was sent flying to the air.
Usagi sat down, and watched him struggle to his feet. She sighed, and blew her hair
out of her eyes. "So this is what we're going to be doing for an entire year?"
Trunks limped to her side, and sat down with at thump. "Basically, you can go off and
make up more of your attacks." He winced as he twisted the wrong way. "I swear that,
that attack is more powerful now - a lot more powerful."
Usagi rolled her eyes. "We are in my world now - sort of - the moon is present here.
Remember moon power and all that? My moon associated attacks would of course
pack a lot more punch."
Trunks shook his head, "Just remind me to be in Super Saiyajin mode next time ok?"
* * *
They all turned as another capsule car landed.
Bulma smiled, and climbed, retrieving her daughter. She turned and gave Bra to Vegeta
who protested loudly, but once Bra was in his arms, he quieted and smiled down at his
chibi hime.
The Z senshi stared at Vegeta, never had they seen such a gentle smile on his lips, it
literally transformed his entire face.
Then he stepped out...
"Mamoru!"
Let's say I had a writing frenzy - wrote this in less then a day. Kind of a last hurrah
before I settle down to assignments and stuff =)
