Chapter 1
Makoto awoke to be asleep on a hard table that had an electric blanket on it to make it warm. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room. There were tools, computers, papers, a large screen, a window, some more tables, emergancy kits, all placed into this large white room. She looked down at her white shirt, tight black pants. She brushed her long golden brown hair back over her shoulder. She looked to the sound of typing on a keyboard. There sat a woman with blue hair down to her shoulders. Suddenly, she turned letting her blue eyes meet Makoto's emerald ones. A smile crept up from her pink lips.
"Well, it looks like you're awake. I'm Bulma, Trunks' mom. It's nice to know that there still are some pretty and decent girls around for my boy. You're going to be staying with us for a very long time Makoto. I'm not going to let you go out into that city where you can get mugged. It's safer here with people you will get to know..." She was suddenly cut off by the door bursting open. A man with black spiked hair, and black eyes stood there with his arms folded.
"Women! Where's my dinner? Anyone could starve in this place since you're so busy opening your big mouth about unimportant things!" he bellowed.
"Vegeta! I was making sure that Makoto woke up to be with someone instead of wondering around the house and having to be scared to death by you opening your mouth! Just go have Trunks order some pizza or something," said Bulma glaring at him.
"You go talk to your pitiful son and make him order it. I'm not talking to him!" Makoto slipped down off the table and stood next to Bulma.
"Fine! Come on Makoto. I don't want Vegeta to scare you off," said Bulma taking her hand as they left the room together. They started to walk when Makoto broke the silence.
"Bulma, I could cook and save you all the trouble. Vegeta doesn't bother me so you could get back to your work," said Makoto. Bulma turned to her.
"Really?"
"It would help me to repay you for showing me so much hospitality even though you don't know me," she said. Bulma showed Makoto to the kitchen where she quickly started. Something suddenly snapped in her. The door opened and in came Trunks.
"Hi honey. How was your day at work?" she asked cooking while four people followed in behind him.
"What?" he questioned.
"Pluto!!!!" said Rei loudly. She was dresses in tight black pants and a tight red shirt to go with it. A portal opened and out came Haruka. He was in tan slacks, and a soft blue shirt. His blue eyes seemed amazed at what was going on.
"You did come home from work, correct?" she asked turning to him.
"Um, yeah..."
"Haruka, knock it off right now! You know how Makoto is!" said Minako. She was in tight black pants and a soft yellow shirt.
"It took me a week to get that blue dye out of my hair plus to get my hair nice and soft once again. This is my pay back," he smiled. He snapped his fingers all of a sudden. Makoto rubbed her head.
"Hi guys!" she smiled. She turned to Haruka and glared.
"Hi Makoto," he smiled.
"You better knock that off mister! It's not one bit funny," she said folding her arms over her chest.
"I could do something worst," he smiled. He snapped his fingers to place her in a black bikini with a swim skirt of dark red roses around her waist. She looked at herself.
"Hey, this is really cute! I should wear this to the beach some time," she smiled.
"What ever Princess," he said and then snapped his fingers again. She was suddenly in some Vitoria's Secret wear.
"You're enjoying this aren't you? Do something like this one more time and I'll go to extreme measures mister. Don't test me!" she said.
"Sure you will," he smiled. He suddenly changed her into a baggy shirt that went to the middle of her tighs.
"I'm counting to three!" she growled.
"1" He placed her in a tight black shirt with a black underwear buttoms.
"2" He placed her in a playboy bunny outfit.
"3" he placed her in a towel with slippers.
"That's it!" she said.
"It was nice knowing you buddy!" said Minako. Makoto walked over to where Haruka stood. She pulled him down by the collar of his shirt, and pushed him to the ground. She sat on his stomach and glared at him while her hand contained a ball of electricity getting powerful every second.
"Change me back or pay the price," she said between her teeth. His hand touched her cheek gently.
"You look so good like that," he smiled.
"Word of advice, you're not going to flirt your way out of this one," said Rei sheepishly.
"If I'm not in my clothes by the time I count to one, you are going to be toast with this and Serenity!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll change you back," he grumbled. He changed her bakc to her normal clothes and she smiled.
"See, it's as simple as---" she was cut off by Haruka turning over quickly and pinning her to the floor.
"Never let your guard down Princess," he smiled. A portal opened and there came Pluto.
"Come on Haruka. I told you *not* to go threw the portal and now you're ruining thetime line. Jerk! I'll get you later for it! Never mind. You'll answer to Michiru and Neo-Queen Serenity," she smiled. He kissed Makoto on the forehead gently.
"I'll be back," he smiled. He got up and started walking. Makoto *accidently* moved her leg, making him trip, fall on Pluto, and go threw the portal.
"Opps! I really didn't mean to, did I?" she said with a final smirk to Minako and Rei. They all started laughing.
"You always get the last laugh don't you Makoto?" asked Rei.
"Of course. Or else I wouldn't be Makoto, would I?" she asked with an innocent smile.
"Alright, the funs over, get up and cook my dinner," sneered Vegeta. Makoto got up.
"I better get a 'thank-you' or else I'll pass you up the next time I cook," said Makoto sticking her tounge out at him. He just growled.
"So, what's the story about you and Haruka?" asked Rei with a grin.
"What's the story about you and Chad?" asked Makoto raising an eye brow.
"There's nothing between me and Chad! He's just a stupid worker at the temple. I have nothing to do with him!" she said folding her arms over her chest.
"There's your answer," smiled Makoto.
"You always do that!" complained Rei.
"You always ask the same questions."
"Mako-chan, do you think we'll ever get back?" asked Minako.
"Minako,this is neither the time nor place to talk about this," insisted Makoto. Minako looked at the guys standing there and blushed.
"Gomen."
"Trunks! I'm so glad you're home! I want you to take Makoto shopping!" She threw him the keys.
"Well that's very funny! We were going to take Rei and Minako as well," smiled Goten.
"Then go and have fun! I wouldn't want to keep you all here," smiled Bulma.
"But--"
"Don't worry Makoto. I'll take over," she smiled. Makoto nodded. They all walked outside shortly. Three different cars left.
"So Rei, how do you like it here?" asked Goten.
"It's fine. Much better than Crystal Tokyo. At least you have a lot of land to do things with instead of houses and city life aways all around you," she said.
"That was Crystal Tokyo?" he asked.
"Yes. No matter where you look, it's all city. No where to go. We were always kept in the palace walls to protect the Queen, keep meetings, look for new enemies, watch Chibiusa, and make sure that everything was in order. It might sound easy but it's acually really difficult. You're always alone. An empty feeling stays inside of you. You always want to leave, go think but, their is always something extra you must do. Never a break. I am actually glad we were brought here. It's a well needed vacation," said Rei.
"With all that hard work, you would need a vacation. I just hope that you won't have to work," said Goten.
"I hope so as well," said Rei.
~~~~~
"Minako, how was Crystal Tokyo?" asked Gohan.
"Beautiful on the inside out. Huge corridoors, long hallways, too many rooms. Always having to be guarded. There, we were lucky if we ever got any sleep. It's going to be hard not working. Very hard. I won't know what to do with myself. We always did jobs, day and night no matter what time it was. Taking care of Chibiusa, never having time to talk to any other Sailor Senshi unless it was for a job matter, walking everything. I'm surprised that I haven't gave up. It was my destiony to protect the Queen but now. Now I'm thinking about leaving it. Staying here where I could live my life. The way I want it. Go to college, become a fashion designer, get a home, have a family. These dreams will never come true, as long as I live," said Minako sadly. Gohan placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Minako, your dreams will come true some day. They always will. You just have to wait for the perfect timing for things to unravel. You will be free one day. I swear to it," he reassured. She nodded silently and just stared out the window.
~~~~~
"Makoto?"
"Hmm?"
"What was it like where you lived?" asked Trunks. She kept staring out the window.
"Not the life anyone should live."
"What? But you seemed like you wanted to go back to it," he said glancing a look at her.
"I grew up too fast. Normal people enjoy there childhood. Normal people go to college, get a job. Normal people have someone special to them. Us Sailor Senshi had none of that. At the age of 13, we all gave up our normal lives to protect our Princess. We never had any fun. The only thing that we could do was protect her, fight, stay up all hours of the night, miss days of school, being trapped in another demenion. Going to the future and the past. We had no time for college. We have to devote the rest of our time and lives to Neo-Queen Serenity. We will live till to world ends. In some ways, I'm glad I didn't find anyone special. To get married, have a family. To live longer, looking young as your husband grows old without you then dies. Knowing that there is no way that you could ever see them again. I would rather kill myself than go back. But, I can't. I will always live. I would be brough back. It---" She stopped talking by a strong arm going around her. She moved with it where she found herself leaning on him.
"Don't think about it. Everything is going to be alright," said Trunks.
'There is a lot in common that we both have my dear Princess. No matter what, I will live on forever. It seems...Oh never mind. That's just a bunch of rubbish.'
