Author's Note: I'm sorry. I know some of you wanted Hotaru with Trunks but that wasn't what I had in mind. Gomen! If there are people out there who want the pairings reversed I will be glad to write two versions of this story.
Thank you Kelly-Chan, Rowens_Girl2001, hotaru, Washu Hubiki, Anita Knight, raine, Peaches-chan, Saturn's Hikari, Ruby The Half Dragon, sainjinj, FireflyofDeath, and key for reviewing. I appreciate you all for reviewing. If I missed anyone, sorry, but thank you still.

"Come on Hotaru. You really don't wanna stay here do you?"
Hotaru nodded, "Yeah I do. Gohan seems nice. I'm sure his friend was just in a bad mood. Besides, you don't even know his name and you're already picking a fight."
"So. I wanna go to another dimension. Where are we anyway?" Rini looked out the window.
"Gohan said that this was Japan. It is so different from Crystal Tokyo which is in Japan." Hotaru stated.
"Hotaru, if this is Japan why are we on an island?" Rini pointed out the window.
"Well Japan does have a lot of islands. Then that means we are really far away from the Tokyo here." Hotaru confirmed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Kick them out? But where will they go?"
Trunks crossed his arms. "The girl with the pink hair really gets on my nerves."
"Trunks you're fighting with her and you don't know her own name. Are you gonna describe her as 'the girl with pink hair' forever?"
Trunks nodded. "If I have to then I will."
"Well that was a fast transformation from Trunks to Vegeta or even Bulma," Gohan said.
Hotaru went outside to Gohan and Trunks. "Hey Gohan. If you don't mind can Rini and I change a bit? Our dresses are completely dirty."
"Oh yeah sure. You can pick any door to the left upstairs," Gohan directed.
"Thanks Gohan." Hotaru waved bye and went inside.
Gohan turned to Trunks. "Well at least we know her name is Rini."
"What kind of name is Rini?" Trunks spat.
Rini popped her head out the window of the second floor. "My name is bad!? Look at your name! Trunks, I bet you'll get a sister named Bra! You can see yourself at the beach and pool! You piece of clothing!"
"Rini calm down!" Hotaru tried pulling her away from the window.
"Eerr come down here and say that, cone head!" Trunks yelled.
"Arg! Why bother?" Rini closed the window.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Come on Rini, Trunks really didn't mean to call you a cone head. What you said to him was worse." Hotaru said while tying her hair up.
"I'm glad my insults were better then his." Rini sat on a chair combing her hair. She still left it the way her hair is always like, like her mothers. "I'm telling you. We should find someplace else to stay for a while."
"Why don't you wanna stay here? Gohan said that we re welcome to stay as long as we want." Hotaru said.
Rini put her comb down. "I am not staying with that guy. Only if he apologizes, then I may stay here." Rini looked at the bed in the room. There were magazines crammed under the bed. Rini walked to the bed and grabbed the magazines. She opened the first page and turned to Hotaru. "Hey Hotaru, look at what these guys like to look at." Rini tossed her the magazines.
Hotaru opened up to a page and closed the book. "Ok? Let's not wonder why they have that."
Rini looked in the drawers and found bunches of panties stuffed in it. 'Ok? I should listen to Serena when she tells me to not snoop.'
"Hotaru, do you and your friend want to have lunch or something?!" Gohan yelled from the bottom of the stairs. (A/N: Gohan knows how to cook. A little trait I threw in for him.)
"Sure, We'll be down soon!" Hotaru replied. Hotaru faced Rini. "You wanna go?"
"Why not? It gives me a chance to kill Trunks."
Hotaru shrugged. "Why not?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Gohan this is good. It's as good as our friend's , Lita, cooking." Hotaru said.
"Thanks, my mom made me learn this. Soup is the only thing I can cook for now."
"Rini learned to cook some stuff our friend. Isn't that right Rini?" Hotaru said.
Rini and Trunks kept on giving mean looks at each other as they ate. They never kept their eyes off each other.
"Rini? Rini!" Hotaru shouted.
"What!" Rini shouted back.
'Didn't you learn to cook from Lita?"
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Rini responded.
"Are you two having some sort of staring contest?' Gohan said.
Rini and Trunks gave an evil look at Gohan.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Hotaru! I can't believe you! You agreed to staying here!" Rini falling back on the sand and put her hands behind her head.
Hotaru hovered her head over Rini's. "Well I thought you wouldn't mind."
Rini sighed, "Ok, I will go along with you. You do make good decisions."
"I wonder how long we can stay here?" Hotaru look out into the ocean. "Hey why don't you ask Sailor Pluto? She was the one who meant to give it to you."
"Yeah you're right." Rini took out Luna P. It was still of course the shape of a cat. "Luna P? I need you for some answers."
The area on the ball facing Rini was in the shape of a square. A face appeared in the little box. "Small Lady. I know you have the Dimension Key." It was the face of Sailor Pluto and her voice too.
Rini looked down. "I know. It wasn't safe yet, but it really is mine. I'm so sorry!"
Sailor Pluto smiled. "Small Lady, it is all right. You using it is completely safe. You are probably asking how long you are able to stay in that dimension, right?"
Rini nodded.
"It depends on how much power the owner of the key has. For the weaker owner, the minimum is two weeks. I the power is strong the minimum is four weeks. I know you have strong power. So you are able to stay four weeks."
Rini rolled her eyes. 'Great, I know that Hotaru wants to stay here to the fullest. Four weeks of Mr. Underwear.'
"Rini, you still must be cautious. When you try to get back to your dimension, the Dimension Key might transport you to another timeline of your dimension or another timeline of the dimension you are in now," Pluto continued.
Rini and Hotaru looked at each other in a serious way. "This won't be good if we do get lost in our own timeline." Rini said.
"Or even in this timeline," Hotaru finished.
Rini grinned. "Well no problem. We can always have Sailor Pluto bring us back through the Gate of Time, right Luna P.?"
Pluto shook her head. "You can't always rely on that. There are sometimes flaws in time travel. It the time calls for the Gate of Time then we will try. For now I must go." The small square suddenly went static.
"Bye Luna P." Rini put Luna P. back her pocket.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"How do you think those girls fell out of that rip in the sky?" Trunks asked reclining back on the couch.
"I don't know. Do you think we should tell them who we really are?" Gohan questioned.
"Not until they tell us who they are,'" Trunks replied.
"What do you mean?"
Trunks gave a solemn look at Gohan. "When they first arrived I could feel a strange energy from them. Especially, the girl with the pink hair, Rini."
"Well before you jump into anything you should find out more about Hotaru and Rini."
Trunks sighed, "I'll try."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"You mean, you are a princess of Saturn?" Gohan had just asked Hotaru to speak with him. Trunks also had to talk to Rini.
"Yeah. My father brought me to one of his lectures with other scientists. I curious and went too close to one of my dad's experiments. All of a sudden it blew up. I died and my father made a deal with this apparition named Pharaoh 90. My life would be saved but another life was put into me. It was Mistress 9. As I grew up, Mistress 9 would take over me sometimes and hurt people I cared about and I wouldn't remember a thing. There were also several occasions I would faint because was usually weak. Sailor Moon, the princess of the moon, destroyed the evil in me. Pharaoh 90 was still alive. Once the evil in me was gone I found out I was Sailor Saturn. The only way to defeat Pharaoh 90 was I. I sacrificed myself and was reborn. Sailor Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto raised me. I grew rapidly. Rini was my best friend ever. We still are very close today."
Gohan was amazed. "Wow. So you had that power hidden inside of you for your whole life?"
Hotaru nodded. "Yeah pretty much. How bout you? I'm just dying to know more about you."
Gohan slightly blushed. "Oh well I'm half a saiyan and half human. (A/N: That is how I spell saiyan. I don't know the real spelling.) The saiyans are a race that loves to fight. The whole race was banished by an evil creature named Freeza. (A/N: I'm not sure of any of the spellings.) There were only four saiyans left. My dad, his brother, the prince, and a big bald guy. I fought with Raditz, my dad's saiyan brother, Vegeta, the prince of the saiyans, Freeza, some androids, and a monstrous being named Cell. In all these battles I have shown immense power. I found out that being half saiyan and human made you stronger. It was the battle with Cell I brought out my true power. I could turn into a Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan level 2. I guess we both had hidden power."
Hotaru jumped with joy. "This is great. Finally, someone who has gone through what I had gone through." Hotaru hugged Gohan tight, which made him blush furiously.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hotaru and Gohan had an easy time talking to each other. Rini and Trunks on the other hand couldn't even look at each other.
'I'm gonna have a long talk with Hotaru after this.' Rini thought.
'Gohan, you are gonna pay for this," Trunks said to himself.
"So, Trunks, what was your dad like?" Rini said trying to start a conversation.
"Uh technically, my real father died some years back," Trunks said almost like a whisper.
Rini was somewhat sympathetic towards Trunks. "Well, if you won't start up the discussion, I will. Well I am really from the 30th century. I am Sailor Mini Moon and Princess Rini of the moon and Crystal Tokyo. At that time the Dark Moon took over Crystal Tokyo and the earth. Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus were guarding my mother, the queen of Crystal Tokyo, because she was put into a deep sleep. My father and I were the only one's left. It was my duty to go to the past to tell the Sailor Scouts about the future. After the enemy was defeated I returned back home to the future. I decided to become a Sailor Scout in training. I have had lots of adventures with the other scouts, I decided to stay with them."
'Wow she had it pretty rough. She knows how it feels when the androids destroyed my timeline and traveling back.'
Rini waved her hand in front of his face. "Trunks? Hello? Earth to Trunks?"
Trunks then snapped his mind back to reality. "Oh, uh great story. I know how you feel."
'What?"
Trunks breathed in. "I too came from the future. Two evil androids created by a mad scientist, destroyed the earth they walk on. The earth had eight great fighters to protect it. The strongest of the eight died of a heart virus. Five of the other fighters died in the line of battle. My father was one of them. The two left were my master, Gohan and I. He died in the hands of the androids. My mother had been working on a time machine. I used it to go to the past and saved the strongest fighter from the heart virus. I decided to stay with them and I came to live here in this island. Now I'm stuck with you."
Rini's eye's narrowed. "Hmm, and I felt sorry for you a second there. At least we have something in common. It must be the only thing though.
"It should be the only thing we have in common," Trunks added.
Rini and Trunks turned away from each other crossing their arms.
Gohan and Hotaru was hiding behind the door.
"Hey Gohan, you wanna get them together or something?" Hotaru asked him while whispering.
Gohan nodded. "Yeah. Trunks never tried going steady with anyone."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Late at night Rini stood outside in the waves. She only let her feet get wet as she tried to find the moon.
A voice spoke up from behind her. "There is no moon. Don't bother trying to find it. It's useless to everyone now," the voice said.
Rini looked behind her. She saw Trunks standing a few feet away. "How can the moon be useless? The moon is beautiful and it is my origin. It is the source of my power. The ocean looks so dark without the reflection of the moon."
Trunks walked up beside her. "I think it makes no difference whether there is a moon or not."
Rini looked at the sky. "Space looks so empty. Trunks, I have a question."
"If you're gonna ask me how I got my name then forget about it."
"No! I was gonna ask why you don't like me? You think I don't care for other's feelings but I clearly see you got the wrong impression of me." Rini fast walked to the house and slammed the door.
Gohan and Hotaru were watching from the top window.
"This will be harder then I thought, " said Gohan.
Hotaru could only smile. "I have a good plan to get them together. This will need some good acting though."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yet, another short chapter. I was busy this week. I will try to make it longer and I will really try this time.
The conversation between the characters might be false info. I was lazy and winged it.
Honestly, I didn't put enough effort into this part.
