I also don't own advil or Tylenol.
Oh yeah just in case you didn't know, Usagi couldn't figure out what ChibiUsa was trying to say before she disappeared. (I know that she should have but I need her to not know.) Is this how you spell 'Ginzuishou'? And I'm really sorry about the spelling mistakes!
Silver Light
Chapter Three: The Shopping Trip
The next morning came all to soon for Usagi. She wearily climbed
out of her bed and dragged her feet to the dresser. On the top of the dresser
was a wide mirror. When she looked in to it all she saw was a tired and
sad girl. She had bags under her eyes from lack of sleep, her hair was
tussled from tossing around all night and her eyes were blood shot and
puffy from crying. Last night after closing the door Usagi broke down and
sobbed for a good a hour straight. She didn't care that Bulma was just
outside the room and could hear her, she just couldn't handle it anymore.
She couldn't just stand there and pretend that everything was all right.
That the senshi weren't dead. That Mamoru wasn't alive. That ChibiUsa wasn't
gone. That she was about to have an emotional brake down.
'I can't handle this. Why does this all ways have to happen
to me? Why do I have to be the one who lives, while my friends die? Why
do I have to be the one to save the world through all this pain and hurt?
Why do I have to be the one to all ways stay stable and never break down?
Why do I have to bottle this emotional pain up, until it bursts? WHY DO
I HAVE TO LIVE?'
"I won't cry, I won't cry..." Usagi said, repeating it
as if it would make it true. Usagi had made a promise to her self last
night. She promised to stop crying and try to do something about her problems.
She would not let her friends die again, when she could had done something
about it. It was her problem. And nobody else had to involved. Usagi then
took a look a the clock on her bedside table. 5:00am.
'5:00am, Kami-sama, I've never gotten up this early before,
Oh well I might as well get ready for that shopping trip. I mean, if my
senses are right ChiChi and Bulma could shop even longer then Minako-chan
and I... Minako-chan I miss you so much, I miss you all... I never even
got thank you for being such great friends... Doomo arigatoo gozaimasu,
minna...'
Usagi turned away from the clock and surveyed the room Bulma
had given her to stay in. It was a fairly large room, okay it was HUGE,
and there was only four pieces of furniture making it look even bigger.
There was the bed in the far left corner, the end was close to the doors
to the balcony, the large dresser which had about three, of it's many,
drawers filled with Bulma's old clothes. In the right corner, by the balcony,
was a large table with a new high speed computer on it. The last piece
of furniture was the bedside table which only had a lamp and a clock on
it. There was a door on the far side of the room which led to her own bathroom
and then there was the door, beside the dresser, which led back to the
hallway. There also was a closet next to the computer desk.
Usagi decided to take a shower before Bulma and ChiChi wanted
to go shopping. She walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
When she was about to get into the shower she noticed that there were colorful
bruises going up and down her back from when Mamoru slammed her into the
tree. She hadn't even noticed the pain until she saw the bruises. Now that
she had, she winced. 'I'd better ask Bulma for some advil when I see
her.' She thought. With that she turned and got into the shower, trying
to wash away her worries. After about half an hour and a lot of soap later,
Usagi emerged from the shower. She grabbed two towels, putting one around
her hair and the other for her body. She walked out of the shower and towards
the dresser.
Just then someone knocked on the door. Thinking it was Bulma,
Usagi called out, "Come in!" The door opened, but to Usagi's shock and
embarrassment it was not Bulma.
"I'm s-sorry, I didn't m-mean to catch y-you at a b-bad time,
I'll l-leave n-now." Mirai Trunks stuttered as he saw Usagi in nothing
but a small towel. He quickly turned on his heel and rushed out the door,
blushing like mad.
Usagi just stood there, too stunned to say anything. 'He's
different.' she thought, as she heard the door slam. 'Oh well, I
better get ready, he was probably sent by Bulma to tell me to hurry up.'
She
seemed to take no notice that Trunks just saw her in nothing but a towel.
Usagi sighed and pulled the top drawer of the dresser out, looking
for something to wear today. She knew that she couldn't wear the silver
clothing that she had bee wearing yesterday because they brought back bad
memories. She vowed to never wear a tank top and capris together again.
After searching through the drawers for fifteen minutes, Usagi pulled out
a white skort and a multi-colored shirt, with three quarter length selves.
After she put them on she looked in the closet for shoes. She
found a pair of white go-go boots and a white hat. 'Perfect.' She
thought. As she finished up her outfit, she decided she would cut her hair
while they were at the mall today. If she didn't like it would grow back
in a month anyway, her hair just grew really fast. She shoved her hair
into a quick bun and put the hat over it. She looked over to the mirror
to see the effect. It was only then that she took notice of the colors
of her shirt. They were green, red, orange and blue. 'The inners...'
she
thought, 'I will always remember you...'
Usagi broke out of her thoughts when she heard Bulma
calling from downstairs that they were ready to leave. "Hurry up!" yelled
ChiChi, who had gotten there only a few minutes before, "I don't want to
miss the early bird sales!"
"Okay be right down!" she yelled back, getting into the prospect
of shopping. If she was to be training she would also need clothes, right?
Usagi ran down stairs and was greeted with the site of Bulma
and ChiChi arguing over who was going to drive.
"I'm driving!" Bulma yelled, pulling at the keys.
"You drive to fast!" ChiChi yelled, pulling the keys towards
herself.
"You drive to slow! We'd never get there!"
"HEY!" Usagi yelled. ChiChi and Bulma stopped immediately. "What
did I tell you about fighting?"
"Gomen."
"Your forgiven, now let's go shopping! Bulma's driving."
"Fine," ChiChi said, "but you can't go too fast!"
"Um, Bulma before we go I was wondering if I could have some
advil." Usagi asked.
"Sure, but if you don't mind me asking what for?" She asked,
walking towards the kitchen to get the advil.
"Just some injury I got before I came here. Don't want to have
to come back early because my back pain." She said, smiling, not wanting
Bulma to know the full extent of the injury.
"Oh, okay, here ya go." she said, giving Usagi two advil and
a glass of water.
"Thanks." Usagi swallowed the advil quickly, just as ChiChi
yelled for them to hurry it up. Bulma and Usagi hurried out to where ChiChi
was waiting.
"Hey, Usagi, where'd you get the outfit?" Bulma asked.
"I found it in the drawers in my room." Usagi said, spinning
around, showing off her new look. "Do you like it?"
"I love it! I don't know how you pieced that together with the
clothes I had in left your room." Bulma said in amazement.
"You should be a clothes designer." ChiChi said.
"Naw, I want to be..." Usagi started, but couldn't finish, because
she had nothing, "Um, never mind. Hey where's the car?" Usagi asked.
"Right here." Bulma said holding up a small capsule. Before
Usagi could ask how that could be the car Bulma opened the capsule. It
exploded in a gray smoke, which cleared to reveal a hover car. Usagi's
face showed nothing but amazement. Her jaw was on the ground. 'If only
Ami-chan could see this, I wonder how she would figure it out!' Usagi
thought, the surprised expression still on her face. 'Ami-chan...'
"Come on Usagi, get in the car. Stop gawking and let's go!"
Usagi shook her head to clear it and walked toward the car.
ChiChi opened the door and pulled her inside. "You're to slow. Drive Bulma."
ChiChi ordered.
"Aye aye, Captain." Bulma said, smiling. She put her foot to
the floor and they zoomed out of Capsule Corp. The scream "SLOW DOWN!"
could be heard for miles around.
Four speeding tickets and a headache later Usagi stumbled out
of the car. "ChiChi is driving on the way back," she said, knowing she
couldn't handle another ride like that. She barley had been able to hold
her breakfast down. Bulma's driving was worse then a roller coster. "Kami-sama..."
"Okay! Shopping time!" ChiChi said, cheerily. She was excited.
She hadn't been able to go on a shopping spree for ages.
"Let's go!" Bulma said, already running towards the mall. ChiChi
quickly followed.
"Hey wait!" Usagi yelled as she stumbled after them.
Usagi sat down with a thunk. 'How can they shop for 8 hours
straight and still have energy!' Usagi thought staring at ChiChi and
Bulma, who were still bouncing around store to store not even noticing
that the person they were buying for was sitting on the bench. 'They
even had to pay some people to help carry all the stuff! How are we even
going to get this all home!' They had gotten 59.5 bags in total
so far and according to Bulma they weren't even half done!
Just then Bulma came running out of the shoe store and looked
around for Usagi. Before she could be spotted, Usagi hid behind the bench
she was sitting on. 'Please don't let her see me. I can't handle much
more of this shopping!' After not seeing Usagi crouched behind the
bench, Bulma turned and walked back into the store. 'Good she gave up...'
Usagi
thought, but her thought came to soon, Bulma came back out with ChiChi.
Usagi turned and sprinted in the opposite direction they were looking.
She ran past many people as they turned stared. Suddenly she heard ChiChi
yell, "THERE SHE GOES!"
'Oh no, I can't let them get me. I won't be able to last
much longer with them!' Usagi thought, desperately looking for a way
out. She turned quickly for a look and saw Bulma and ChiChi right behind
her. "AHHH!" she screamed, turning on her heel and running towards the
food court. 'They won't be able to find me in there.'
"Come back here Usagi!" Bulma yelled from behind her,
unable to keep up with Usagi's speed.
"NEVER!" She yelled back, continuing to run.
"YOU GIVE US NO CHOICE!" ChiChi yelled. Usagi took a quick glance
behind her and saw that ChiChi and Bulma were no where in sight.
"Where'd they go..." Usagi whispered, slowing down to a stop.
She turned back and came face to face with the duo she had been looking
for. Usagi gave a small scream and the chase was on. Usagi had a lead and
was going in through the food court. Bulma was in close second and turned
in a wide arc, running around the court. ChiChi, not far behind, went straight
in through the food court going for the direct approach. The crowd parted
like water as Usagi came barreling through, only to go back in the path
and watch the running girl, not noticing ChiChi speeding along about to
collide with them. They turned back when they heard the yell of, "Watch
out! Coming through!" They had just in time to part again before ChiChi
reached them.
Meanwhile Bulma was almost finished her wide circuit of the
court. She stopped when she came to the other side, directly in the path
of the speeding rabbit. Just when Usagi broke through the last of the crowd,
she almost ran right into Bulma. "No!" she yelled before taking off in
the direction of the escalators with Bulma and ChiChi (who finally caught
up,) in hot pursuit.
Usagi reached the escalators and jumped on the closest one,
not realizing that it was the wrong one and she wasn't getting anywhere.
Bulma and ChiChi caught up and saw Usagi trying to run down the up escalator.
Taking advantage of her confusion, Bulma ran down the right escalator and
ChiChi, as always, followed Usagi. When Bulma got to the bottom she rushed
towards the other side, where the end of the other escalator was, only
to find security guards there. "Uh oh." she whispered trying to walk away
un noticed, but the guards saw her.
"Hey you come back here!" one yelled running after Bulma as
she ran towards the nearest exit. The other guards decided to wait and
get the ones on the escalator. They went to the power box and shut the
now nearly empty escalator down. Only ChiChi and Usagi stood on it, the
other civilians had gotten of as soon as the pair of running girls had
gotten on. As soon as the escalator stopped both, ChiChi and Usagi went
flying.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!" They screamed as they flew through the air,
only to crash into the running Bulma. "Umph." They scrambled up and ran
towards the doors, trying to escape the security guards. As they burst
through the doors into the parking lot, the guards gave up the chase. Bulma,
ChiChi and Usagi, not noticing the guards weren't chasing them anymore,
ran all the way to where their car was parked before stopping to catch
their breath.
"Kami-sama, remind me to never go shopping with you again!"
Usagi said, after five minutes of resting. All of a sudden Bulma started
laughing, and ChiChi soon joined in. "I don't see anything funny in this."
Usagi said indignantly. She sat and watch as Bulma and ChiChi rolled over
the ground, clutching there sides, laughing as if they would burst. Soon
Usagi began to smile and a small giggle escaped her lips. It only took
her a minute to join Bulma and ChiChi, rolling around, laughing her guts
out at nothing. Passerby's looked at the three women, and walked quickly
away, wondering the sanity of the women. Ten minutes later they stopped
laughing and all that was heard was a giggle now and then.
"Ow, now my cheeks hurt from laughing so much!" Usagi complained
but inside she felt much better. 'I haven't laughed like that since...
before Galxica. There was too much pain after.' Usagi thought, losing
her smile.
"What's wrong, Usa?" ChiChi asked, noticing the glum expression.
"Nothing. Shouldn't we go and get our bags and go home?" Usagi
asked, putting on a fake smile for their benefit.
"Oh, your right, we should have been back an hour ago! Goku's
going to be starving!" ChiChi exclaimed after looking at her watch. "We
better hurry. Bulma your going to have to drive again."
"What?! NO!!!" Usagi screamed. ChiChi and Bulma both grabbed
one arm of Usagi, and pulled towards the car.
"Come on, we'll drive the car closer to the mall, grab our stuff
and get out of there before those guards see us." Bulma said, purposely
ignoring Usagi.
"We better get going." ChiChi said.
When they got back to capsule corp. it was 6:00pm. "Oh my feet
are killing me!" Usagi complained, after complaining about the car ride
all the way home. Suddenly Goku came running out of Capsule Corp.
"Oh, honey, where have you been? I was getting worried!" Goku
exclaimed, hugging his wife.
"Ya, worried that he wouldn't be feed." Bulma whispered to Usagi.
They both giggled at Goku's expense. Then Goku seemed to take in there
bedraggled appearance.
"What happened to you?" he asked. "You look like you already
went through training today."
"You don't want to know." Bulma said as she passed by him, into
the house.
"Trust us." Usagi said following Bulma's example.
"I'll tell you later, dear." ChiChi said, giving Goku a quick
kiss on the cheek and running after the other two.
"Nani?" Goku said, scratching his head.
"Oh, Goku, dear. Please bring in our shopping bags!" ChiChi
yelled from inside the house.
"Okay!" Goku yelled back. He turned towards the car and opened
the back door only to get crushed in a flood of shopping bags.
Later that night, after eating dinner, with Bulma saying something
about her being a sayain, Usagi decided to take a walk.
"I'll be back in a 5 minutes Bulma, I want to get some fresh
air." Usagi called to Bulma.
"Okay!" Bulma called back.
Usagi opened the door and started walking. In about three minutes
she came upon a small pond. "It's so peaceful here." Usagi whispered, as
she sat down. She looked up into the night sky and for the first time she
realized she couldn't see the moon. 'Maybe it's a new moon.' Usagi
thought. She stood up and looked and looked around for the only piece of
her first home she had left. "Where is it?" she said getting frustrated.
"Its not there." said a voice from behind her. Usagi spun around
and came face to face with Piccolo.
"Why isn't it there?" she asked. 'It was there when I last
left Tokyo. How did I get out of Tokyo any way?' Usagi suddenly asked
herself.
"I had to blow it up a couple of years back." he said, in a
monotone.
"Kami-sama, that's not possible." Usagi whispered, holding her
head. 'How is this possible? It was there when I left!'
"What is not possible?" Piccolo asked. Usagi, not know he had
heard her, jumped in surprise.
"Nothing, I-I got to go!" Usagi said taking off. When she got
back to Capsule Corp. Bulma was waiting outside.
"Where have you been I have been worried sick!" She exclaimed.
"Gomen." Usagi whispered, still pondering the problem with the
moon.
"Well, we had better get you to bed! You have to train in morning.
Goku is a tuff trainer." Bulma said, leading her inside.
"Good night, Bulma-chan."
"Good night, Usa."
With that Usagi entered her room still pondering her problem.
'The
last piece of my first home is gone...'
I, myself, don't like cliff hangers, so I try not to but them at the
end of my fics! That's all for now! I'll try to get the next part up soon!
R & R please!
Silver-chan!
