Minnnnnnna! I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK! Okay, my reasons for taking so long.
First, I had an issue with the Spanish spellcheck, it only took me FOREVER
to figure out how to work it. Second, my sister had a baby, Aiden, and he
takes up a lot of my time…Third, the pressure of high school (not really,
but a good excuse) Last, my job.
NOW READ AND REVIEW ALL YE HAPPY FANS! BabySerenity informs me that it has been exactly three months since I've updated… peculiar, ain't it? OH YES! ALL YE HAPPY REVIEWERS THANK: BabySerenity and Ryu for this chapter!!!
Disclaimer… yeah yeah, I KNOW I don't own any of the characters and I'm not making money off of it!
Chapter Three, Part B
Mexico. I don't know about you but my Spanish is rusty. Rusty is an understatement. I only reached Spanish three. I'm perfect for asking where is the bathroom: ¿Dónde está el baño? But nothing for speaking street Spanish. Although, I DID understand a few comments about MY Trunks! But I'm sure you all want to know what happened, all the gory details. Well, fasten your seatbelts.
~~~@~~~
"Cool Mom! Look how blue the water is!" Chibi Trunks exclaimed pressing his nose against the glass of the balcony door that overlooked the ocean. Mrs. Briefs, err, Bulma, ordered four suites! We dominated the floor! There was one suite for herself, Chibi and Vegeta, one for the Sons, one for Trunks and I and one for Gohan and Videl. They all have connecting doors also. Yes, Trunks and I got our own suite! With two separate beds in two separate rooms… I know, not what I was expecting either. Each suite had two bedrooms with king-sized beds, a main room filled with couches, a desk, a mini fridge and boom baby! An entertainment center with a big screen TV.
"I hope you all enjoy your stay at our hotel. Buenos tardes." The bellboy bowed and smiled as Bulma gave him a tip with American bills.
"CAN WE GO DOWN TO THE BEACH?" Goten bounced around Chichi and Goku in circles.
"Goten! Calm down!" Chichi ordered.
"I'll take him Chichi." I smiled. After all, this was my job.
"ALLLLLRIIIIIIGHT!" Goten and Chibi high-fived and ran to get their swimming trunks.
I walked back to my room to grab one of my new suites. I grabbed a blue two-piece with huge white flowers decorating it. I also pulled my hair into braids and pinned them to my head. Wet hair as long as mine isn't the funniest thing in the world. I stepped out of the bathroom to see Trunks waiting for me with: towels, sun block, various beach items, and two hyper boys jumping around him in circles.
He glanced at me and I swear his mouth nearly hit the floor. "Usa-Usagi!" He choked. I smiled sweetly as he stared at me. "I think I'm coming to the beach as well!" He dropping his stuff on Chibi and Goten and ran to get his trunks. I giggled and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist.
"Usagi, please bring back the boys in time to get cleaned up for dinner, we are going to the hotel restaurant for dinner." Bulma directed walking into our suite from the connecting door. "Vegeta, Goku, Chichi and I are going to look around the place and Gohan and Videl will join you at the beach in a bit." She smiled. "Have fun!" She called. Chibi and Goten waved and started bouncing around again.
As Trunks stepped out of his room it was my turn for my jaw to hit the floor. He was wearing black trunks and had a towel draped casually over his shoulder. His tan muscles rippled like velvet over steel as he picked up the stuff he was carrying before and shot a killer smile my way. "Ready?" He asked. I nodded dumbly.
"YEAH!" Chibi cried before bouncing into the elevator.
Trunks and I kept them in order until we reached the beach. The ocean was a beautiful aquamarine color and took my breath away. The water ebbed away at the white sandy beach and Latino music was heard from a small cabana on the beach. I smiled in content.
Chibi and Goten raced for the water at full speed and dived in shouting. I laughed as I watched them take to water like crocodiles. Trunks set up the towels and equipment. "Shouldn't we put sunscreen on them?" I asked nodding towards the boys.
Trunks glanced out at them. "Nah, they've never had a sunburn before it's because they are Saiya-jinn." Trunks answered with a grin.
I shrugged and dropped onto my towel. "Well I burn like bacon if I'm not covered" I announced pulling out my SPF 20. Just enough to get a good tan. Trunks cracked a smile as I squirted out the white stuff onto my palm. I lathered up my arms, legs, neck and stomach and turned to Trunks with pleading eyes. "Will you do my back?" I asked.
Trunks grinned and took the bottle gladly. "My pleasure." He replied as he sat behind me. His strong-callused hands didn't miss an inch of my skin and I leaned into his gentle touch. His hands were relaxing and I felt safe in his arms.
But all good things come to an end as he finished. He smiled knowingly as I let out a sigh before I stood up. Trunks stood as well and stretched, flexing his muscles. I couldn't help admiring until I heard a few comments.
"Aye! ¡Me gusta este muchacho!" One girl dared to call out thinking we didn't understand them.
"¡Me también! ¡Qué Muchacho tan guapo!" A girl agreed.
…Hey!
It took me a moment to figure out what they were saying but I figured it out! Senorita Stanton should have been there, she said I wouldn't last a day in a Spanish speaking country! And those girls said I like that boy and that boy is good looking!
Hey!
Wait a minute… my excitement of understanding was crushed as what they said sunk in… He's MINE!
But by the time I came to this conclusion they were already half way down the beach giggling amongst themselves.
"I don't know why my mother picked Mexico, only she understands Spanish." Trunks sighed.
"¿No comprendes o hablas español?" I asked sweetly.
"What?" Trunks asked blankly.
"Never mind." I giggled. "C'mon, let's go join the boys." I ran off dragging Trunks as he still pondered what I said.
We spent the rest of the afternoon in the water. Gohan and Videl did join us later, Videl in a modest black one-piece bathing suit and Gohan in blue trunks. Of course the boys had a water wrestle. I wouldn't call it a fight, to much throwing and wrestling. Videl and I talked for a bit, don't get me wrong or anything, Videl is a sweet girl, just a tad naïve. But I believe I've said that before…oh well.
I somehow rounded the boys up a half hour before we were meeting their parents for dinner so they could wash up.
I slipped into my blue sundress and re-braided my hair. In this hot sticky weather long hair was the last thing I wanted. I put on a silver anklet that Minako had bought me, and a pair of white flip-flops.
Trunks wore a white tank top and baggy cargo shorts. Even he wasn't used to the heat and humidity of Mexico.
"Ready?" He asked offering his arm. I giggled and nodded.
We walked into the hall and into the middle of an argument of who could jump higher: Goten or Chibi. The two boys were puffing out their chests and leaping into the air. Both of them would hit the ceiling and then try again.
"Chibi! Goten!" I scolded. They bowed their heads and looked up with impish expressions on their faces.
Gohan and Videl walked out at that moment. "Hey guys!" Gohan greeted. "Are we ready to meet our parents?"
"Will there be hotdogs?" Goten asked as we walked down the hall.
Hotdogs? In Mexico?
"Goten, we're in Mexico, I bet they serve Mexican." Gohan patted his little brother on the head.
Goten's face fell and he continued walked.
We arrived into the restaurant a few minutes later. Soft mariachi music was playing as background music. The walls were decorated with Mexican symbols like the eagle upon the cactus with a snake in its mouth.
Bulma, Vegeta, Goku and Chichi were already waiting for us. We sat around the large table and Bulma asked Chibi how the beach was while Chichi fussed over Gohan. It's Funny how she is more protective over Gohan than Goten when Goten is so much younger.
"Excuse me, are you all ready to order?" Our waitress asked in a heavy accent. Her black hair was up in a bun and her large brown eyes fluttered girlishly. I head two faint sighs of content and glanced over at Goten and Chibi to see them both with hearts in their eyes.
I giggled as they both tried to get her attention.
"I want a number 27." Goten shouted.
"I would like a numero veinte y tres." Chibi shot a haughtily glance at Goten.
"¿Hablas Español?" The waitress asked sweetly.
"Uhh…¡SI!" Trunks replied nodding enthusiastically.
The waitress giggled and turned to Goku. "I would like this burrito special thing with the special salsa." Goku ordered eagerly.
"I'll have the same." Vegeta added gruffly.
"I'll take two tacos with no cheese." I asked.
"The gordita platter." Trunks ordered. The waitress giggled happily at him.
"Uh… I'll take the… enchilada supreme." Gohan told her.
"I want the steak." Videl ordered. "Medium rare."
Chichi and Bulma gave their orders and everyone started talking about how nice it was here.
I gazed around the restaurant taking in the different types of people eating. One man stuck out in particular at a near-by table. His large black hair curled out in a traditional Afro and his large mouth was laughing a loud and highly annoying laugh. His greedy black eyes were settled on a skimpy dressed woman that giggled and fluttered her eyelashes at his jokes. He looked oddly familiar to some reason, and when I hear him speak Japanese my eyes widened in recognition.
"Videl, isn't that you father?" Bulma asked nodding over to the man I had been examining. It was Mr. Satan! The spawn of… err, Satan himself… that sentence made a lot more sense before I thought it.
Videl turned and her eyes lit up with anger. "Yes." She bit. "With another woman, he has a new one every week! Dende knows what he's doing here in Mexico." She sighed and turned back to her plate.
But Mr. Satan's conversation was loud, as if he wanted everyone to hear it. Our table fell silent as we listened to his 'tale'.
"And so there I was, I just threw a few good ole Mr. Satan style punches and BAM! I knocked Cell down. All his special effects couldn't stop me!" He laughed and the girl giggled annoyingly. "And you should have seen those guys with the blonde and black hair thank me. The short one with the spiky hair even told me I was his hero!" Mr. Satan laughed as the girl fluttered her eyelashes.
SNAP!
We all looked at Vegeta to see him snap his silver fork in half as if it were a toothpick. Then again, this is Saiya-jinn I'm talking about. Vegeta had heard Mr. Satan's comment that could only be about him. Now let me tell you, Vegeta isn't the type to tell people that they are his hero, unless it is bitterly sarcastic and is followed by a deathblow. I'm still not hundred percent sure about what happened at the Cell Games but I know that Mr. Satan wasn't in the picture.
Small growls were emanating out of Vegeta as he stood. "Calm down Vegeta, we're in a nice restaurant, in a hotel that I own." Bulma hissed.
"Quiet woman, that man has dishonored me enough for a life time!" Vegeta growled out before stalking off.
"Goku! Stop him!" Bulma urged as her husband marched off to Mr. Satan's table.
Goku shrugged. "I think Mr. Satan deserves what is coming to him." Goku responded.
BAM!
That was the sound of Chichi breaking a plate over Goku's head. "GOKU! Videl is going to make up rich!" She yelled. "Now STOP him!" She ordered. Goku obeyed immediately and took off after Vegeta.
But it was too late.
Vegeta stood in front of Mr. Satan glowing mad. Mr. Satan was shaking in his chair. He immediately recognized the, although shorter, but much stronger fighter. "My hero?" Vegeta asked but it sounded more like a bark.
"Who-who are you?" Mr. Satan asked pretending to have his wits about him. He was a terrible actor. Worse than Tarzan in that awful movie, Tarzan and the Lost City or something like that. Minako rented it because it had a shirtless man on the cover of it. It was the worst acting possible. The Gorillas were OBVIOUSLY men in costumes, it looked like a little kid's Halloween costume. What a Terrible, terrible movie.
Anyway, back to the action. The girl was ogling over Vegeta and his demanding presence, while Goku stood behind him and Mr. Satan quaked a six pointer on the Richter scale. "I am your worst nightmare." Vegeta smirked out. I swear Mr. Satan had wet his pants by now. I smiled at the thought of the 'world's strongest warrior' beating Vegeta at anything.
"C'mon Vegeta, give it up, or else Bulma will make you sleep on the couch." Goku warned. That seemed to do the trick. No Saiya-jinn likes to go a night with out his mate, according to Vegeta.
Vegeta backed off a bit. "I'm warning you, you talk about me one more time and I'll blast you to Hell and back." Vegeta conjured a small ki blast to prove his point. "I'll be watching you, piglet." Vegeta tossed the ki blast over his shoulder not bothering to watch it take out the empty table behind him.
Mr. Satan gulped visible. "I'm not afraid of you!" He cried out most unconvincingly.
Vegeta smirked and walked off. Nope, never a dull day in the Briefs' house.
The rest of dinner was uneventful, except Vegeta's constant glares across the table at Mr. Satan. Videl didn't seem to mind that someone had set her father straight. She actually seemed to enjoy it. People really do surprise you sometimes.
Anyways, dinner was uneventful until desert. Goten and Chibi Trunks were talking about when Mirai Trunks had defeated Frieza and his father, King Kold. "I think I'm more like Mirai!" Goten cried rolling a tortilla up like a sword.
"What?!" I AM Chibi Trunks!" Trunks argued.
"But I'm stronger!"
"Are not! I'm stronger and older!"
"NO! me!"
"NO! ME!"
"Me!"
"ME!"
"Chibi! Goten!" I cried sharply. They both looked at me curiously. "I say Miari Trunks is Miari Trunks and you two team up and be Freiza and King Kold." I suggest smiling at Trunks. He looked bewildered.
"YEAH!" Both boys cried and began scheming behind their hands about strategy.
"Very clever Usagi." Chichi praised.
I blushed. "Thank you" I nodded.
~~~@~~~
"Te Quiero María, Tenia quiere tu siempre."
"Manuel…también…te quiero."
Love. True love. I sighed and grabbed a another handful of popcorn and munched on it. Manuel and Maria had a passionate love.
"Usa, do you even know what they are saying?" Trunks asked from the other side of the couch.
"Trunks, love is a universal language, it doesn't matter what language it is said through." I sighed turning back to Manuel and Maria.
"This isn't love! They can't even act! You know they both are only going to love each other until they find someone better looking." Trunks sighed.
I looked up at him. Talk about a lack of romance.
"Besides, I thought you had jet lag, that's why we left dinner so early." Trunks looked down at me. I pouted. He rolled his eyes and grabbed the remote turning off the TV. "TV rots your brains."
"I would think watching TV in a different language would stimulate the mind." I argued with a smile.
Trunks smirked. "And what are you going to learn from soap operas?" He asked sitting up and pulling me closer to him.
I grinned impishly. "Well…" I leaned closer. "This." I placed an gentle kiss on his lips. He groaned and pulled me against him deepening the kiss. My fingers ran through his silky violet hair as I responded.
Trunks pulled away after a few minutes. "Okay, you win." He whispered. I grinned triumphantly up at him. Another point for me.
…until the lights fizzed and died, along with the T.V.
I shrieked and clutched Trunks. "What is going on?" I asked.
"Probably the two imps." Trunks assured and stood up, his Saiya-jinn eyes pierced through the dark while I couldn't see a foot in front of my face.
"Trunks? Usagi?" Bulma's muffled voice came through the door the connected the rooms.
"We're alright mother." Trunks called back.
"Good, I just wanted to let you both know that the power is out, some sort of power surge, and the doors open and lock electronically, that's why the keys are the key cards." Bulma called through the door.
"Wait, doesn't that mean they operate on the electricity?" Trunks asked as we walked towards the door.
"…Yes." Bulma answered. "And don't you DARE try to break one of the doors down Trunks! I OWN this hotel and I don't want any damage done." She threatened.
Trunks sighed.
Maybe this is such a good time to bring up the fact I'm not a fan of the dark. I'm not necessarily AFRAID of the dark, I just prefer to avoid it. Like gym class. I can DO gym class, I just avoid it and take choir classes instead.
"I'm going to check up on Goku and Gohan." Trunks told me.
What? "What?" I asked looking up at him. "How?"
"I can fly, I thought I'd just leap off the balcony."
"And LEAVE me?" I asked harshly.
"Relax Usa, I'll be gone a few minutes." He assured kissing my cheek.
He smiled at me before leaping out the balcony.
I wonder what happened to Maria and Manuel… he probably didn't leave her in the dark…
Alone…
I can do this.
I am Sailor Cosmos.
I defeat Chaos. No dark will defeat me!
…EEP!
~~~@~~~
TO BE CONTINUED…
PREEEEEEEEEEEVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWS!
On Senshi…
"Very good Endymion, but is there another reason you would like to find the V-Rebels?" Beryl asked.
Demando tried to keep himself from grimacing. It was rumored that Beryl was once a beautiful young girl until one day she stumbled upon evil itself. She was promised love in the form of Endymion, power in the form of queen, and riches in the form of ruling the universe if she would join its side. Beryl greedily agreed and then became a twisted creature. Long red hair and glowing amber eyes. Her skin was a sick yellow and hands turned to claws. Small spikes came out from her shoulders. She was draped in a purple cloth that passed as a dress and a small band of gold encircled her head as her crown. Demando shuddered at the thought of sleeping with her like Endymion did. Demando was the only person that knew of Endymion's plan to kill of Beryl and become the ruler of the Dark Kingdom. But something kept him from completing that task and Demando had yet to find out what.
"No my queen." Endymion replied from his kneeling position. His eyes were at the floor hiding his intent to find the girl that ran across his dreams every night and though his mind every day.
"Another woman?" Beryl hissed.
"Of course not, you are my only love." Endymion replied in a monotone voice.
Beryl appeared satisfied. "Find the base and destroy it, bring me the girl Usagi, she has a peculiar power, one I have not sensed in many years." Beryl ordered.
"Yes my queen." Endymion bowed once more before the transmission ended.
"Come Demando, we have work to do." Endymion looked disgusted with the queen as he walked out of the room. Demando nodded and followed stealthily as always.
~~~@~~~
And a new fic I'm working on but won't be posted until babysitting is done…
Vision of White Wings
Usagi concentrated on the finish line. She clutched her pendant close to her chest before bending into the starting position. She was determined to break thirteen seconds. The shout of her coach fell upon her ears and she burst off the starting line heading for the finish line. She pulled ahead of the other girls when a bluish white light flashed before her eyes. She gasped in pain as the light ripped through her head.
A boy appeared in front of her.
He wore heavy armor and carried a curved sword. Black hair fell into his deep brown eyes that looked surprised as she ran straight at him.
She screamed as she ran through him and the pain intensified in her head.
Dragons…
Fighting…
Danger!
The ground broke up beneath her feet and she was in the middle of a field. Large fighting machines were around her. They dimly reminded her of Gundams from her favorite anime show. One white one stuck out from the others. Two green jewels decorated the shoulders and a long purple cape billowed behind it.
The scene flashed and she was in a room.
"Good luck Prince Van."
"Thank you Balgus." The same boy from earlier replied and took a sword off the wall.
"Do not let the defeat of your brother get to you."
Van's grip on the sword tightened. "Balgus." He said sharply. "Do not remind me of that." He glared. The older man nodded.
Balgus bent his head. "You will surely slay the dragon."
The scene changed again.
Usagi was standing on a sandy patch of ground. Around her she could make out figures fighting in red mists. The ground started to break up around her and she was falling.
Falling
She shrieked and reached to the sky.
A figure with wings swooped down at her. He grabbed her outstretched hand. Usagi looked up to see feathers floating around her. The man's face was cloudy and she could not make out his face but he pulled her up to his chest. "Angel…" She smiled up at him before everything disappeared.
She collapsed onto the track.
"USAGI!" Rei called frantically from the sidelines. Mamoru looked surprised and scared. Rei ran to her friend. "Usagi!" She called as she fell to her knees checking her pulse. "She passed out." Rei whispered in relief to the fact she wasn't dead.
Mamoru bent down and picked her up. "I'll take her to the infirmary." Rei nodded and followed behind him clutching Usagi's duffel bag.
~~~@~~~
AAAAAAAND, since it has been so long, ANIME HIGH!
Next on Anime High…
"Ooh! Ooh! Parking spot!" Minako yelled pointing out the window towards the empty spot.
"Minako, calm down. We'll park when I'm ready--"
Minako didn't let Rei finished as she jerked the wheel sending the car careening into the spot. Rei and Usagi screamed and came to a screeching halt when Minako pulled up the e-brake. Hitomi was clutching the seat and an unusual white color. "That's it, MINAKO! YOU ARE NEVER SITTING IN THE FRONT WHILE I DRIVE AGAIN!" Rei screamed waving her arms up and down.
"Relax Rei, we're here to shop!" Minako smiled and cheerily hopped out the door.
"Why did I come along again?" Hitomi wheezed.
Minako stuck her head in the door and grinned. "'cause we're gonna find a dress that will drive Van crazy." Minako winked. "Now let's get a move on!"
The girls reluctantly followed as if marching to their doomsday.
A few hours and many stores later, in the food court…
"Minako, how is it you can pay for all of this when you need to borrow twenty bucks from me?" Usagi asked surveying the bags Minako had.
"Simple, I have several credit cards." Minako answered.
Hitomi choked on the pretzel she was eating. "And dig yourself in a debt unimaginable." She accused.
"We did get killer dresses and accessories, right?"
The girls nodded.
"Good, mission successful." Minako sighed contently.
"Look what we have here! " A voice interrupted.
The girls looked up startled to see a few of the Katana High boys. Irvine, Squall, Sage, and Tasuki. Irvine and Tasuki looked haughty, while Sage looked bored and Squall looked indifferent.

"I hope you all enjoy your stay at our hotel. Buenos tardes." The bellboy bowed and smiled as Bulma gave him a tip with American bills.
"CAN WE GO DOWN TO THE BEACH?" Goten bounced around Chichi and Goku in circles.
"Goten! Calm down!" Chichi ordered.
"I'll take him Chichi." I smiled. After all, this was my job.
"ALLLLLRIIIIIIGHT!" Goten and Chibi high-fived and ran to get their swimming trunks.
I walked back to my room to grab one of my new suites. I grabbed a blue two-piece with huge white flowers decorating it. I also pulled my hair into braids and pinned them to my head.

"Vegeta, Goku, Chichi and I are going to look around the place and Gohan and Videl will join you at the beach in a bit." She smiled. "Have fun!" She called. Chibi and Goten waved and started bouncing around again.
As Trunks stepped out of his room it was my turn for my jaw to hit the floor. He was wearing black trunks and had a towel draped casually over his shoulder. His tan muscles rippled like velvet over steel as he picked up the stuff he was carrying before and shot a killer smile my way. "Ready?" He asked. I nodded dumbly.
"YEAH!" Chibi cried before bouncing into the elevator.
Trunks and I kept them in order until we reached the beach. The ocean was a beautiful aquamarine color and took my breath away. The water ebbed away at the white sandy beach and Latino music was heard from a small cabana on the beach. I smiled in content.
Chibi and Goten raced for the water at full speed and dived in shouting. I laughed as I watched them take to water like crocodiles. Trunks set up the towels and equipment. "Shouldn't we put sunscreen on them?" I asked nodding towards the boys.
Trunks glanced out at them. "Nah, they've never had a sunburn before it's because they are Saiya-jinn." Trunks answered with a grin.
I shrugged and dropped onto my towel. "Well I burn like bacon if I'm not covered" I announced pulling out my SPF 20. Just enough to get a good tan. Trunks cracked a smile as I squirted out the white stuff onto my palm. I lathered up my arms, legs, neck and stomach and turned to Trunks with pleading eyes. "Will you do my back?" I asked.
Trunks grinned and took the bottle gladly. "My pleasure." He replied as he sat behind me. His strong-callused hands didn't miss an inch of my skin and I leaned into his gentle touch. His hands were relaxing and I felt safe in his arms.

We walked into the hall and into the middle of an argument of who could jump higher: Goten or Chibi. The two boys were puffing out their chests and leaping into the air. Both of them would hit the ceiling and then try again.
"Chibi! Goten!" I scolded. They bowed their heads and looked up with impish expressions on their faces.
Gohan and Videl walked out at that moment. "Hey guys!" Gohan greeted. "Are we ready to meet our parents?"
"Will there be hotdogs?" Goten asked as we walked down the hall.
Hotdogs? In Mexico?
"Goten, we're in Mexico, I bet they serve Mexican." Gohan patted his little brother on the head.
Goten's face fell and he continued walked.
We arrived into the restaurant a few minutes later. Soft mariachi music was playing as background music. The walls were decorated with Mexican symbols like the eagle upon the cactus with a snake in its mouth.
Bulma, Vegeta, Goku and Chichi were already waiting for us. We sat around the large table and Bulma asked Chibi how the beach was while Chichi fussed over Gohan. It's Funny how she is more protective over Gohan than Goten when Goten is so much younger.
"Excuse me, are you all ready to order?" Our waitress asked in a heavy accent. Her black hair was up in a bun and her large brown eyes fluttered girlishly. I head two faint sighs of content and glanced over at Goten and Chibi to see them both with hearts in their eyes.
I giggled as they both tried to get her attention.
"I want a number 27." Goten shouted.
"I would like a numero veinte y tres." Chibi shot a haughtily glance at Goten.
"¿Hablas Español?" The waitress asked sweetly.
"Uhh…¡SI!" Trunks replied nodding enthusiastically.
The waitress giggled and turned to Goku. "I would like this burrito special thing with the special salsa." Goku ordered eagerly.
"I'll have the same." Vegeta added gruffly.
"I'll take two tacos with no cheese." I asked.
"The gordita platter." Trunks ordered. The waitress giggled happily at him.
"Uh… I'll take the… enchilada supreme." Gohan told her.
"I want the steak." Videl ordered. "Medium rare."
Chichi and Bulma gave their orders and everyone started talking about how nice it was here.
I gazed around the restaurant taking in the different types of people eating. One man stuck out in particular at a near-by table. His large black hair curled out in a traditional Afro and his large mouth was laughing a loud and highly annoying laugh. His greedy black eyes were settled on a skimpy dressed woman that giggled and fluttered her eyelashes at his jokes. He looked oddly familiar to some reason, and when I hear him speak Japanese my eyes widened in recognition.
"Videl, isn't that you father?" Bulma asked nodding over to the man I had been examining. It was Mr. Satan! The spawn of… err, Satan himself… that sentence made a lot more sense before I thought it.
Videl turned and her eyes lit up with anger. "Yes." She bit. "With another woman, he has a new one every week! Dende knows what he's doing here in Mexico." She sighed and turned back to her plate.
But Mr. Satan's conversation was loud, as if he wanted everyone to hear it. Our table fell silent as we listened to his 'tale'.
"And so there I was, I just threw a few good ole Mr. Satan style punches and BAM! I knocked Cell down. All his special effects couldn't stop me!" He laughed and the girl giggled annoyingly. "And you should have seen those guys with the blonde and black hair thank me. The short one with the spiky hair even told me I was his hero!" Mr. Satan laughed as the girl fluttered her eyelashes.
SNAP!
We all looked at Vegeta to see him snap his silver fork in half as if it were a toothpick. Then again, this is Saiya-jinn I'm talking about. Vegeta had heard Mr. Satan's comment that could only be about him. Now let me tell you, Vegeta isn't the type to tell people that they are his hero, unless it is bitterly sarcastic and is followed by a deathblow. I'm still not hundred percent sure about what happened at the Cell Games but I know that Mr. Satan wasn't in the picture.
Small growls were emanating out of Vegeta as he stood. "Calm down Vegeta, we're in a nice restaurant, in a hotel that I own." Bulma hissed.
"Quiet woman, that man has dishonored me enough for a life time!" Vegeta growled out before stalking off.
"Goku! Stop him!" Bulma urged as her husband marched off to Mr. Satan's table.
Goku shrugged. "I think Mr. Satan deserves what is coming to him." Goku responded.
BAM!
That was the sound of Chichi breaking a plate over Goku's head. "GOKU! Videl is going to make up rich!" She yelled. "Now STOP him!" She ordered. Goku obeyed immediately and took off after Vegeta.
But it was too late.
Vegeta stood in front of Mr. Satan glowing mad. Mr. Satan was shaking in his chair. He immediately recognized the, although shorter, but much stronger fighter. "My hero?" Vegeta asked but it sounded more like a bark.
"Who-who are you?" Mr. Satan asked pretending to have his wits about him. He was a terrible actor. Worse than Tarzan in that awful movie, Tarzan and the Lost City or something like that. Minako rented it because it had a shirtless man on the cover of it. It was the worst acting possible. The Gorillas were OBVIOUSLY men in costumes, it looked like a little kid's Halloween costume. What a Terrible, terrible movie.
Anyway, back to the action. The girl was ogling over Vegeta and his demanding presence, while Goku stood behind him and Mr. Satan quaked a six pointer on the Richter scale. "I am your worst nightmare." Vegeta smirked out. I swear Mr. Satan had wet his pants by now. I smiled at the thought of the 'world's strongest warrior' beating Vegeta at anything.
"C'mon Vegeta, give it up, or else Bulma will make you sleep on the couch." Goku warned. That seemed to do the trick. No Saiya-jinn likes to go a night with out his mate, according to Vegeta.
Vegeta backed off a bit. "I'm warning you, you talk about me one more time and I'll blast you to Hell and back." Vegeta conjured a small ki blast to prove his point. "I'll be watching you, piglet." Vegeta tossed the ki blast over his shoulder not bothering to watch it take out the empty table behind him.
Mr. Satan gulped visible. "I'm not afraid of you!" He cried out most unconvincingly.
Vegeta smirked and walked off. Nope, never a dull day in the Briefs' house.
The rest of dinner was uneventful, except Vegeta's constant glares across the table at Mr. Satan. Videl didn't seem to mind that someone had set her father straight. She actually seemed to enjoy it. People really do surprise you sometimes.
Anyways, dinner was uneventful until desert. Goten and Chibi Trunks were talking about when Mirai Trunks had defeated Frieza and his father, King Kold. "I think I'm more like Mirai!" Goten cried rolling a tortilla up like a sword.
"What?!" I AM Chibi Trunks!" Trunks argued.
"But I'm stronger!"
"Are not! I'm stronger and older!"
"NO! me!"
"NO! ME!"
"Me!"
"ME!"
"Chibi! Goten!" I cried sharply. They both looked at me curiously. "I say Miari Trunks is Miari Trunks and you two team up and be Freiza and King Kold." I suggest smiling at Trunks. He looked bewildered.
"YEAH!" Both boys cried and began scheming behind their hands about strategy.
"Very clever Usagi." Chichi praised.
I blushed. "Thank you" I nodded.
~~~@~~~
"Te Quiero María, Tenia quiere tu siempre."
"Manuel…también…te quiero."
Love. True love. I sighed and grabbed a another handful of popcorn and munched on it. Manuel and Maria had a passionate love.
"Usa, do you even know what they are saying?" Trunks asked from the other side of the couch.
"Trunks, love is a universal language, it doesn't matter what language it is said through." I sighed turning back to Manuel and Maria.
"This isn't love! They can't even act! You know they both are only going to love each other until they find someone better looking." Trunks sighed.
I looked up at him. Talk about a lack of romance.
"Besides, I thought you had jet lag, that's why we left dinner so early." Trunks looked down at me. I pouted. He rolled his eyes and grabbed the remote turning off the TV. "TV rots your brains."
"I would think watching TV in a different language would stimulate the mind." I argued with a smile.
Trunks smirked. "And what are you going to learn from soap operas?" He asked sitting up and pulling me closer to him.
I grinned impishly. "Well…" I leaned closer. "This." I placed an gentle kiss on his lips. He groaned and pulled me against him deepening the kiss. My fingers ran through his silky violet hair as I responded.
Trunks pulled away after a few minutes. "Okay, you win." He whispered. I grinned triumphantly up at him. Another point for me.
…until the lights fizzed and died, along with the T.V.
I shrieked and clutched Trunks. "What is going on?" I asked.
"Probably the two imps." Trunks assured and stood up, his Saiya-jinn eyes pierced through the dark while I couldn't see a foot in front of my face.
"Trunks? Usagi?" Bulma's muffled voice came through the door the connected the rooms.
"We're alright mother." Trunks called back.
"Good, I just wanted to let you both know that the power is out, some sort of power surge, and the doors open and lock electronically, that's why the keys are the key cards." Bulma called through the door.
"Wait, doesn't that mean they operate on the electricity?" Trunks asked as we walked towards the door.
"…Yes." Bulma answered. "And don't you DARE try to break one of the doors down Trunks! I OWN this hotel and I don't want any damage done." She threatened.
Trunks sighed.
Maybe this is such a good time to bring up the fact I'm not a fan of the dark. I'm not necessarily AFRAID of the dark, I just prefer to avoid it. Like gym class. I can DO gym class, I just avoid it and take choir classes instead.
"I'm going to check up on Goku and Gohan." Trunks told me.
What? "What?" I asked looking up at him. "How?"
"I can fly, I thought I'd just leap off the balcony."
"And LEAVE me?" I asked harshly.
"Relax Usa, I'll be gone a few minutes." He assured kissing my cheek.
He smiled at me before leaping out the balcony.
I wonder what happened to Maria and Manuel… he probably didn't leave her in the dark…
Alone…
I can do this.
I am Sailor Cosmos.
I defeat Chaos. No dark will defeat me!
…EEP!
~~~@~~~
TO BE CONTINUED…
PREEEEEEEEEEEVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWS!
On Senshi…
"Very good Endymion, but is there another reason you would like to find the V-Rebels?" Beryl asked.
Demando tried to keep himself from grimacing. It was rumored that Beryl was once a beautiful young girl until one day she stumbled upon evil itself. She was promised love in the form of Endymion, power in the form of queen, and riches in the form of ruling the universe if she would join its side. Beryl greedily agreed and then became a twisted creature. Long red hair and glowing amber eyes. Her skin was a sick yellow and hands turned to claws. Small spikes came out from her shoulders. She was draped in a purple cloth that passed as a dress and a small band of gold encircled her head as her crown. Demando shuddered at the thought of sleeping with her like Endymion did. Demando was the only person that knew of Endymion's plan to kill of Beryl and become the ruler of the Dark Kingdom. But something kept him from completing that task and Demando had yet to find out what.
"No my queen." Endymion replied from his kneeling position. His eyes were at the floor hiding his intent to find the girl that ran across his dreams every night and though his mind every day.
"Another woman?" Beryl hissed.
"Of course not, you are my only love." Endymion replied in a monotone voice.
Beryl appeared satisfied. "Find the base and destroy it, bring me the girl Usagi, she has a peculiar power, one I have not sensed in many years." Beryl ordered.
"Yes my queen." Endymion bowed once more before the transmission ended.
"Come Demando, we have work to do." Endymion looked disgusted with the queen as he walked out of the room. Demando nodded and followed stealthily as always.
~~~@~~~
And a new fic I'm working on but won't be posted until babysitting is done…
Vision of White Wings
Usagi concentrated on the finish line. She clutched her pendant close to her chest before bending into the starting position. She was determined to break thirteen seconds. The shout of her coach fell upon her ears and she burst off the starting line heading for the finish line. She pulled ahead of the other girls when a bluish white light flashed before her eyes. She gasped in pain as the light ripped through her head.
A boy appeared in front of her.
He wore heavy armor and carried a curved sword. Black hair fell into his deep brown eyes that looked surprised as she ran straight at him.
She screamed as she ran through him and the pain intensified in her head.
Dragons…
Fighting…
Danger!
The ground broke up beneath her feet and she was in the middle of a field. Large fighting machines were around her. They dimly reminded her of Gundams from her favorite anime show. One white one stuck out from the others. Two green jewels decorated the shoulders and a long purple cape billowed behind it.
The scene flashed and she was in a room.
"Good luck Prince Van."
"Thank you Balgus." The same boy from earlier replied and took a sword off the wall.
"Do not let the defeat of your brother get to you."
Van's grip on the sword tightened. "Balgus." He said sharply. "Do not remind me of that." He glared. The older man nodded.
Balgus bent his head. "You will surely slay the dragon."
The scene changed again.
Usagi was standing on a sandy patch of ground. Around her she could make out figures fighting in red mists. The ground started to break up around her and she was falling.
Falling
She shrieked and reached to the sky.
A figure with wings swooped down at her. He grabbed her outstretched hand. Usagi looked up to see feathers floating around her. The man's face was cloudy and she could not make out his face but he pulled her up to his chest. "Angel…" She smiled up at him before everything disappeared.
She collapsed onto the track.
"USAGI!" Rei called frantically from the sidelines. Mamoru looked surprised and scared. Rei ran to her friend. "Usagi!" She called as she fell to her knees checking her pulse. "She passed out." Rei whispered in relief to the fact she wasn't dead.
Mamoru bent down and picked her up. "I'll take her to the infirmary." Rei nodded and followed behind him clutching Usagi's duffel bag.
~~~@~~~
AAAAAAAND, since it has been so long, ANIME HIGH!
Next on Anime High…
"Ooh! Ooh! Parking spot!" Minako yelled pointing out the window towards the empty spot.
"Minako, calm down. We'll park when I'm ready--"
Minako didn't let Rei finished as she jerked the wheel sending the car careening into the spot. Rei and Usagi screamed and came to a screeching halt when Minako pulled up the e-brake. Hitomi was clutching the seat and an unusual white color. "That's it, MINAKO! YOU ARE NEVER SITTING IN THE FRONT WHILE I DRIVE AGAIN!" Rei screamed waving her arms up and down.
"Relax Rei, we're here to shop!" Minako smiled and cheerily hopped out the door.
"Why did I come along again?" Hitomi wheezed.
Minako stuck her head in the door and grinned. "'cause we're gonna find a dress that will drive Van crazy." Minako winked. "Now let's get a move on!"
The girls reluctantly followed as if marching to their doomsday.
A few hours and many stores later, in the food court…
"Minako, how is it you can pay for all of this when you need to borrow twenty bucks from me?" Usagi asked surveying the bags Minako had.
"Simple, I have several credit cards." Minako answered.
Hitomi choked on the pretzel she was eating. "And dig yourself in a debt unimaginable." She accused.
"We did get killer dresses and accessories, right?"
The girls nodded.
"Good, mission successful." Minako sighed contently.
"Look what we have here! " A voice interrupted.
The girls looked up startled to see a few of the Katana High boys. Irvine, Squall, Sage, and Tasuki. Irvine and Tasuki looked haughty, while Sage looked bored and Squall looked indifferent.
