Chapter 6 "A night at the Opera"
* * * * * *
Usagi was trying to pick out the dress that she would wear to the concert when the phone rang.
"Usako."
"Mamo-chan!" Usagi happily squealed and the covered her mouth afraid that her father will hear. He still didn't approve of two of them dating.
"Do you know that me and the girls were calling you for two days? Where have you been? You mother said you left early this morning."
"I am sorry, Mamo-chan, I've been so busy. You know, working with Setsuna on fixing the Crystal" lied Usagi. She didn't want to tell Mamoru and the others about Vash yet. Usagi was also scared that Mamoru and the Inners will be very mad at her for losing the Crystal; she could only imagine Rei's reaction to such news. She shrugged and forced herself to listen to Mamoru.
"…So girls asked me if I can give them a ride to the concert, so I was wondering if you can catch a ride with Haruka and Michiru?" Mamoru braced himself. He expected to hear a loud wail from his jealous girlfriend. He knew it was a bad idea but he already promised Amy and the others that he would give them a ride. Usagi's reaction took him by surprise.
"Sure, Mamo-chan! I can ride with them! It's so nice of you to offer a ride to my friends! I will see you all at the theater, alright?"
And before startled Mamoru could respond, Usagi hung up the phone.

Usagi dressed in her favorite dress was waiting for her ride by the window. With the deep frown she realized that her Dad went to get the mail the same time as Haruka pulled into the driveway. She saw Vash's blond head on the back seat of the convertible and gulped. " Dad is going to freak when he'll see him!"
Almost tripping over her own feet she run outside to save her friend.
With the fear she realized that she was too late. Mr. Tsukino, barely reaching Vash's shoulder was standing in front of the blond outlaw demanding to know his name and his intentions towards his only daughter. Haruka tried to save the day proclaiming that Vash is her long lost cousin. With the goofy smile Vash frantically nodded his head in agreement and then saw Usagi. His face lit up like a Christmas Tree. "Usagi! You look so pretty!" Haruka behind Vash's back covered her mouth in shock eyeing Usagi's fearsome Father.
Vash lifted Usagi up and spin her around. "Did your nice father give you this beautiful dress?"
Kenji Tsukino looked like a fish opening and closing his mouth with no sound coming out of it.
Haruka used it as a nice opportunity to grab Vash and Usagi and shove them both in the back seat of the car.
Vash happily waived goodbye to Mr. Tsukino while Haruka was driving convertible away in the speed of light.
Still pale Michiru turned her head to look at the two grinning blondes on the back.
"Don't you ever do it again, Vash! Usagi's Dad has a big gun, you know!"
"Me too!" Vash pulled out his silver upside down barrel 45colt pistol.
Michiru let out a terrified scream and Haruka almost crushed the car in the light pole.
Usagi grabbed weapon from Vash's hand and pointed her finger at him. "No, Vash, no guns in the public places! You'll get us all in trouble!" She tried to fit the surprisingly heavy gun in her purse then gave up and put it under the seat.
Vash pouted and stayed quiet all the way to the opera house.
After Haruka parked the car Usagi shyly took Vash's hand and led him to the group of people waiting at the front. Blond hugged a tall dark haired man who seemed slightly annoyed by her show of emotion. Vash assumed it was her boyfriend. Outlaw almost fainted when the guy lifted his head and looked at him. 'Wolfwood!' Vash froze and then let a sigh of relive when he realized his mistake. Usagi looked with worry at his pale face and then introduced him to her friends as Haruka's cousin. She giggled when she saw Rei's reaction.
Blond sneaked behind the dark haired priestess's back and yelled in her ear: "Do you feel the strange forces, Rei-chan!"
Rei furiously smacked Usagi in the head and pulled her closer hotly whispering in her ear: "Who is this guy? You are not going to fool me that he is Haruka's cousin! And yes! I do feel something strange about him!"
Usagi put her hand behind her head and nervously laughed. "Yeah, right…"
They slowly made their way to the entrance.
Makoto had a dreamy expression on her face.
Minako pinched her in the arm and asked: "Mako-chan, I can't hear you! Does he look like you ex-boyfriend?"
Makoto flushed and pinched Minako back: "No! He is MUCH better looking then my ex-boyfriend."
Usagi gave startled Makoto a dirty look.
***************
When the small group finally found their seats lights were already down. Usagi made sure her seat was next to Vash's.
Mamoru leaned closer to Usagi. "Usako, please try to stay awake this time."
Blond flushed and murmured: "Sure, Mamo-chan, I will try real hard!"
Vash eyed Mamoru over Usagi's head. 'How could I've mistaken him for Wolfwood?'
Mamoru did resemble Vash's friend: tall frame, midnight blue eyes and dark hair. But his face was calm and peaceful. He didn't have the passion or the cool of the travelling priest. Vash bit his lower lip when he thought of Wolfwood's death. "It was all my fault." Meeting with Mamoru brought back all the bad memories and worries Vash left behind.
Usagi was fighting to stay awake. Music was beautiful but it was also perfectly soothing her to sleep. She tried to lean away from Mamoru as far as possible so he wouldn't catch her dozing off. She finally gave up and let her eyes close as her head softly landed on Vash's shoulder. Vash looked at Usagi's sleeping form and smiled. He leaned his head against hers and closed his eyes as well.
Haruka snickered when she saw two blondes lightly snoring. "That didn't take them long!"
Vash whimpered when he realized that he was having the same dream from the night before, only Wolfwood looked more like Mamoru this time. Wolfwood/Mamoru tossed Vash a black rose with the comment: "Vash The Stampede...die." Vash closed his eyes with fear when he saw the rose stem expand. He felt somebody pick him up by his neck and blast him with the strong energy force. The burning sensation in his arms and chest was unbearable…Vash got up to his feet clutching his teeth in anger. "I won't let you hurt anyone ever again!"
Mamoru realized that Usagi fell asleep and tried to shake her awake. He was more then frustrated with his sleepy girlfriend. Vash felt somebody rudely shake him and Usagi. Still under the impression of his terrifying dream and with the blindness urge to protect the girl from any harm Vash yelled in alarm, jumped off his seat and activated the hidden machine gun in his cybernetic arm.
Mamoru froze when he felt the cold weapon against his forehead. His eyes were wide with fear when he witnessed Vash's eyes glow in the dark. People on the back frantically got off their seats and were running towards the exit screaming. Usagi slowly slid on the floor her eyes glued to Vash's arm. She shook the rest of the sleep off when she heard the senshi's transformation cries.
Usagi grabbed Vash by the waste and pulled his gun away from Mamoru's head. With the full force of her body she pushed dazed outlaw on the floor between the rows and fell on top of him. "Stay here, we will crawl out when everyone is gone! What a hell you think you were doing?!"
"Uh… I don't know…"
Usagi was furious but couldn't help but laugh at the situation. She urged Vash to start moving.
Tuxedo Kamen grabbed Usagi by the ankle, threw her over his shoulder and rushed to the safety ignoring her violent protests.
Uranus and Neptune appeared out of nowhere, picked startled Vash by the arms and run with him across the stage to the back door.
