Thanks to Talysmin for correcting my usage of Japanese. xP. I'll try to
fix it when I upload this chapter.
Here it is (finally): No, I don't own SM OR DBZ.

Last time: Then, as it had happened a few hours ago, Usagi started to fade again.
"Oh!" Usagi said, "I must be waking up!" And she was gone.

Chapter Two:
*
**
****
Usagi woke up early due to that funny dream she'd been having. 'Grrr . . . what is wrong with that stupid Vegetable?!? I can't even get away from people making fun of me in my dreams! ARGH!!! And I KNOW he doesn't mean it in a playful way like Rei. *sigh* How can Trunks be related to that guy?'
And with that, Usagi jumped out of bed and started getting ready for school. Her parents were so shocked that they remained silent while Usagi ate breakfast and said goodbye to them. They finally snapped out of it when Usagi kissed them and closed the front door.
"That wasn't our Usagi, was it?" Kenji asked Ikuko.
"Our Usagi is growing up so fast!" sobbed Ikuko. "Soon she'll be bringing home boys!"
"What do you mean she'll be bringing home boys? She's not dating until she gets married!!!"
****
'Wow . . . I had no idea that having good dreams made you feel so refreshed! Well, dreams about hot guys. *giggle* I guess that just proves it, if it really wasn't a dream, I'd be sleepy because I didn't get a lot of sleep. It's such a nice change . . . having dreams about hot guys instead of nightmares about the past.' Usagi thought to herself as she skipped along to school.
That day, Usagi didn't fall asleep once during class. She was attentive and onto making good friends with her new high school teacher, unlike her love/hate relationship with Ms. Haruna.
When school let out, Usagi headed home.
"Hey, Usagi! Don't you want to come to the Fruit Parlor with us like we usually do?" Mina asked.
"Sorry Mina, I wanna go home and do my homework before all this information leaks out of my brain. Then I want to relax." Usagi said.
"Yeah, I heard Meatball Head didn't fall asleep once during class today, she must be dead tired. Let's let her get some rest." Teased Rei.
"You're so mean, Rei!" squealed Usagi, when her tone suddenly turned serious, "But I am very tired. All this thinking really takes a toll on you. I wonder how you do it, Ami. *giggle*"
"Come on, Usagi. You didn't even spend time with us yesterday. How come you're always tired?" Mina asked
". . . I don't know, Mina." Usagi lied. "I got tons of sleep last night, but I really do think all this studying is putting a strain on my brain."
"Oh come on, Usagi. We all know that you could get good grades if you would stop reading Rei's manga when we're all supposed to be studying!" Ami yelled.
There was a moment of silence as all the girls turned and stared at Ami.
"Geez Ami, you only get angry about studying . . . or when somebody threatens 'your' Taiki." Usagi giggled as she finally complied and started to walk to the fruit parlor with the girls.
Ami blushed and bowed her head down.
"You know I can't like Taiki anymore. . . ever since I found out he was a woman . . ." Ami said.
"Augh, don't remind me!" Rei said, "My three favorite crushes were girls all of a sudden. I don't have anything against Haruka or Michiru, but I just don't swing that way!"
"You're telling me." Mina said, "As soon as I found out, my love for the Starlights just disappeared."
"Yeah, and that was a miracle considering how unceasingly you went after them, Mina!" Rei scolded.
"Yeah, Mina! You were so determined. You had all their schedules memorized and whenever they had a break from singing, you would pounce on them!" Usagi said in wonder.
The girls sat down in their usual corner booth and ordered their drinks. . . well at least Ami, Rei, Mina, and Makoto did.
"PLEASE Rei? It's only a few dollars!!!" Usagi wailed.
"Usagi, don't you ever bring your own money with you?" Rei yelled.
"Sorry Rei, but I spent all of my allowance." Usagi said
"On what?" Makoto asked
"On new pajamas. They're white and made out of satin." Usagi said, sticking her two fingers out in the classic "V" sign.
"Uh . . . Usagi, why do you need new pajamas?" Ami asked.
"Yeah, why give up your pink bunny pajamas?" Rei snickered.
"Well Rei, there's no need for me to look pretty all the time except when I sleep." Usagi said, trying to hide the real reason.
"Usagi! Why do you have to be so obnoxious?" Rei yelled.
"No need to be jealous because I'm prettier than you, Rei." Usagi said as she clasped her hands and fluttered her eyelashes.
Rei's cheeks puffed out and her head turned red before she exploded.
"USAGI!!!!!"
*
*
*
Usagi came home after having a great day. She didn't get yelled at by her teacher for coming late to school, sleeping during class, or answering math questions incorrectly! Okay, so this time he didn't ask her any math questions. . .
Actually, ever since high school started, she hadn't been sleeping in class or being tardy as often as she used to, but the teacher yelled at her because he didn't know how bad she was in middle school. Plus, she was still horrible at math. Oh well, at least she didn't get another 30 on the math test. This time, she got a 65 which was almost twice as good! (Usagi- chan . . . that's BETTER than twice as good . . .-.-") Then she had a great day with the girls. She loved teasing Rei, she even liked being teased by Rei. She knew it was all in good fun, besides, teasing is the way you know Rei cares.
Usagi took her hair out of its meatballs and brushed it until it was shiny, the moonlight shining through her attic window made it seem like gold and silver waves cascading down her petit figure. She then pulled out her new satin pajamas, the ones she bought just for this occasion, and hopped into bed.
'It's weird,' Usagi thought to herself, 'I shouldn't be letting dreams rule my entire life, but every time I see him, I just get this feeling, like there's a chibi-me inside my stomach and it's jumping around so it can get a good look at Trunks. I must be crazy, buying new pajamas to impress him . . .
'This is the first time I'm falling asleep while it's night time. I wonder how my dream world will look at night . . .'
*
*
*
Trunks shifted around in his sleep. He was all snuggled up under the covers. There was a cool spring breeze blowing through his open window. This was the perfect end to a great day. He knew he should probably be worried about this 'Usagi' girl, but he couldn't help feel relaxed around her. She had an aura about her that he was attracted to. All of a sudden, he caught the scent of cherry blossoms. The sweet smell began to lull him to sleep.
'Wow, it's pretty early for the trees to be blooming' Trunks thought as he turned in his bed when he was met by the face of Usagi lying next to him.
'Usagi looks so peaceful when she's asleep. . .' Trunks thought as he closed his eyes.
"WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Trunks yelled as he jumped out of bed.
The loud voice of the saiya-jin caused Bulma and Vegeta to run into his room. Trunks was panting from fright. Vegeta looked furious and Bulma, for some reason, looked happy. Almost too happy. . .
"What is that weak little girl doing in your bed?!?" Vegeta yelled.
"I don't know! I was just going to sleep and I turned around and there she was!" yelled Trunks.
"KEEP IT DOWN, WILL YOU?!?" Bulma bellowed, "YOU'LL WAKE HER UP!!!!"
All eyes turned to Bulma as she clapped her hands over her mouth, looking embarrassed.
"Way to keep it down, woman." Vegeta muttered.
Trunks covered his eyes with his hands as he waited for Usagi to wake up.
'Maybe if I close my eyes, I'll be back in the future. Wait, that means I wouldn't be with Usagi. Okay, maybe if I pray hard enough to Kami, he'll let Usagi wake up thinking Bulma was a foghorn . . . maybe . . .'
"SNORT!"
Trunks was shaken out of his thoughts by a loud snore from across the room. Bulma, Vegeta, and Trunks's heads whipped around and their eyes were met with the sight of Usagi clutching the sheets and almost falling out of Trunks's bed, her eyes still shut. The family of three stared at her for a moment, jaws open, before Bulma started giggling.
"I can't believe that girl didn't wake up. She's sleeping like a log." Vegeta said.
'Wow, she's still asleep. She looks so peaceful and serene.' Trunks thought
Just then, Usagi let out another snort and a bubble formed over her nose before popping.
Trunks's head sank and a sweatdrop formed behind his head.
'Oh well, she still looks beautiful.' Trunks thought.
Vegeta grumbled something about "weird girls" and "bad sleeping habits" before he turned around and headed for his bed room.
"Don't worry honey, I'm sure she'll wake up. . . sometime or another. Then you can spend some quality time together, eh?" Bulma teased.
Trunks blushed a slight pinkish hue and looked down at his feet.
"Woman, I'm about to fall asleep in here!" Vegeta yelled from the bedroom.
"Then go to sleep you horny bastard!" Bulma yelled back.
"Woman, it'll be your loss!" Vegeta yelled.
Bulma gave Trunks a quick wink as she headed out the door. Trunks stared at his mother's past self as she left the room. He was bright red. Just then, he felt a warm hand on his back.
"Trunks?"
Trunks turned around and was met with the face of Usagi.
"Yes?" Trunks asked.
Usagi smiled that angelic smile of hers and she leapt up on him.
"It's great to see you again." She said as she hugged him.
Trunks thought this was very strange behavior but he wasn't complaining. She was hugging him, wasn't she?
"I was afraid I wouldn't dream about you tonight." Usagi stated.
Trunks heaved a sigh. 'So she still thinks I'm a dream. . ." he thought.
"Usagi, why do you think I'm a dream?" he asked.
"Because I'm only with you when I'm asleep, duh!" she said.
"But. . . maybe. . . I dunno. . . maybe you're. . .like. . .transported here while you sleep or something, because I swear I'm not a dream!" Trunks said. How was he supposed to win her over if she thought he was a dream?
"Well. . ." Usagi said, "I considered that because I really, really, really wanted this to be real, but when I woke up this morning, I didn't feel tired at all."
Trunks gave her a blank look.
"If this wasn't a dream world, then that means I would've been awake, and if I were awake, then I would've been sleepy this morning because I wouldn't have had any sleep." Usagi explained.
"Oh. . ." was all Trunks could say.
"So," Usagi said, "Wanna take me sight-seeing around this world?"
Trunks looked down at Usagi's sparkling blue eyes and smiled.
"Love to."
*
*
*
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Usagi, your screaming is a bit painful." Trunks said as he winced.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god. You can fly?!?" Usagi squealed.
"I sure hope so. If not, we're about to have a very painful death." Trunks said with a smile.
Usagi playfully swatted his arm. She then snuggled into his embrace. Trunks was showing her a great view of his world while carrying her princess style. This was definitely the way to sight-see.
'I feel so warm and safe in his arms. I could almost swear this wasn't a dream. . ." Usagi thought to herself.
"Here we are." Trunks said.
He landed near a big lake and carefully set Usagi down on the ground. Usagi took a step away from him and looked at everything in wonder. The air was so fresh and there was a cool breeze blowing through the branches of the trees. The grass looked like a sea of green, and the wind made the blades of grass sway and seem like waves on the sea. The lake was magnificent. It was a dark blue, almost black. It was so serene, there were hardly any waves disturbing the surface. It looked like a giant looking glass with tiny pinpricks of light reflecting off the top. Usagi then looked up at the heavens and gasped in delight. In Tokyo, you couldn't see many stars because of all the smog, but here, you could see shooting stars and gaseous nebulas. . .but. . .there was something missing. . .
"Trunks, where's the moon?" Usagi asked.
Trunks gave her a sad smile.
"Piccolo had to destroy it a while ago. Whenever a saiya-jin sees the moon, they transform into this humongous monster and are unable to control their thoughts. He blew it up to make sure we wouldn't destroy the world by accident.
"I've never seen it myself, but I've seen pictures and it's beautiful. I wish I could've seen it for real, but it was destroyed before I was born." Trunks said with a sigh.
Usagi looked horrified. How could anybody destroy her home, in her dream or in real life? Not even her worst enemies had done it, or had wanted to do it. The moon was so beautiful, everyone just wanted to rule it.
'This can't be a dream. The moon is always in my dreams. The only time the moon isn't in my dreams is when I'm having a nightmare. . .' Usagi thought to herself.
Usagi gave a suspicious glare to the unsuspecting back of Trunks, half expecting him to turn into a demon and attack her. He suddenly turned around and Usagi gasped.
"Here Usa." Trunks said.
He blushed slightly as he handed her a white lily. Usagi took one look at the elegant flower and threw herself at Trunks, thoroughly crushing the beautiful fleur-le-lis.
"Heh heh. Oops." Usagi said while blushing.
"It's okay, you're more beautiful." Trunks said before throwing the flower over his shoulder and sweeping her into his arms for a kiss.
They stayed that way for a while, under the starlight. Her, leaning backwards and him, supporting her back with his hands as he leaned into her. It was a classic pose, something out of an old movie.
Trunks broke off the kiss and looked down at Usagi, absorbing her small nose, long lashes, and smooth skin. Usagi finally opened her eyes and looked into Trunks's eyes, getting lost in their deep blue, noticing the black flecks that sprinkled around his pupils.
Finally, Trunks straightened himself and steadied Usagi.
"Sorry for being so forward, I've never done that before." Trunks said a bit sheepishly.
"What haven't you done?" Usagi asked.
"Kissed a girl." He said quietly.
Usagi gave him a soft smile.
"How was it?" Usagi asked.
Trunks gave a small blush before responding with another kiss. They pulled apart and Trunks gave her another smile.
"It was great."
*
*
*
"Where we going now, Trunks?" Usagi asked as she put her head near his chest, listening to his heart beating.
"Well," Trunks said, smiling down at her, "Remember how you were praying to God?"
Usagi gave him a sheepish grin. "Yes?"
"I thought we'd go and meet him, his place has the best view."
If there had been a floor to crash on, Usagi would have been eating dirt.
"What?!?!?"
"We're here!" Trunks said.
Usagi looked around. "A floating top in the air is where God lives?"
"Yes," Trunks said, "But he prefers to be called Dende."
Usagi turned around and gave him a weird look.
Just then, a short green Namek came strolling into the room.
"Trunks! What are you doing here at this time of night?" Dende asked.
"Just thought I would show the sights to Usagi." Trunks said, indicating the girl who was hiding behind him, studying Dende.
'He's not human, so he might be a youma. He is green, after all, but he looks so little and cute. Hmmm. . .to transform or not to transform, that is the question. . .' Usagi thought.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Dende suddenly appeared in front of her face.
"Hello, Usagi! I'm Dende." He said
"Gah!" Usagi cried as she stumbled back and landed on her rear.
Trunks burst out laughing as he went to help Usagi up.
"S'not funny Trunks." Usagi said.
"I beg to differ." Trunks said as he smiled down at her.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. I get that a lot." Dende said.
Usagi felt bad, she should know better than to judge by appearances.
"No, I'm sorry. I guess I just wasn't expecting a short little green guy to be the creator of the universe." Usagi laughed.
Dende gave her a quizzical look.
"I didn't create the universe. . ." Dende said.
"But. . .you're god!" Usagi said.
"Actually, I'm Kami." Dende said.
Usagi was very confused. A little thought bubble appeared above her head.
'Kami = God?'
Dende gave a laugh at the expression on Usagi's face.
"Usagi, I'm not the 'God' you're thinking of. I didn't create the universe. I am, however, the guardian of earth, otherwise known as 'Kami'. I don't know why, it is confusing eh?" Dende said.
Usagi's face scrunched up as she tried to sort out this information and her face suddenly brightened up.
"So you're not really Kami/God, people just call you that for some reason?" Usagi asked.
"Right."
"People are weird. So then, shall I call you Dende as to avoid all this confusion?" Usagi asked.
"It would be preferred." Dende said politely.
"Well then, Dende, Trunks says you have the best view of this world from here. Care to show me around?" Usagi asked as she extended her arm.
"Love to." Dende said as he blushed and took her arm. He was usually very shy, but this Usagi seemed like such a nice girl with such a warm aura about her.
Trunks happily looked at them walking away before snapping out of his thoughts.
"Hey Usagi, Dende, wait for me!" He said as he ran to catch up.
Usagi took one look back at him, grabbed Dende by the hand, and ran as fast as she could down the halls.
"Dende, RUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!!!!" Usagi squealed.
*
*
*
"It's beautiful." Usagi gasped.
"Told you Dende had the best view, didn't I?" Trunks said.
Usagi didn't bother to respond, but gazed out at the world beyond Kami's lookout. It was so high up that it looked like the clouds were floating on top of the ocean. Trunks came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her head.
Usagi sighed. "Trunks, I keep thinking about what you said, about this not being a dream. . .it's hard to believe but I don't want this to be a dream either. I'll ask a friend about it in the morning."
Trunks gave her a kiss on top of her head.
"My mom's a genius, I'll ask her to see what she can find, too."
Usagi and Trunks closed their eyes and just enjoyed the feel of the breeze and of each other. Trunks opened his eyes and Usagi was gone.
Here it is (finally): No, I don't own SM OR DBZ.

". . . I don't know, Mina." Usagi lied. "I got tons of sleep last night, but I really do think all this studying is putting a strain on my brain."
"Oh come on, Usagi. We all know that you could get good grades if you would stop reading Rei's manga when we're all supposed to be studying!" Ami yelled.
There was a moment of silence as all the girls turned and stared at Ami.
"Geez Ami, you only get angry about studying . . . or when somebody threatens 'your' Taiki." Usagi giggled as she finally complied and started to walk to the fruit parlor with the girls.

In Tokyo, you couldn't see many stars because of all the smog, but here, you could see shooting stars and gaseous nebulas. . .but. . .there was something missing. . .
"Trunks, where's the moon?" Usagi asked.
Trunks gave her a sad smile.
"Piccolo had to destroy it a while ago. Whenever a saiya-jin sees the moon, they transform into this humongous monster and are unable to control their thoughts. He blew it up to make sure we wouldn't destroy the world by accident.
"I've never seen it myself, but I've seen pictures and it's beautiful. I wish I could've seen it for real, but it was destroyed before I was born." Trunks said with a sigh.
Usagi looked horrified. How could anybody destroy her home, in her dream or in real life? Not even her worst enemies had done it, or had wanted to do it. The moon was so beautiful, everyone just wanted to rule it.
'This can't be a dream. The moon is always in my dreams. The only time the moon isn't in my dreams is when I'm having a nightmare. . .' Usagi thought to herself.
Usagi gave a suspicious glare to the unsuspecting back of Trunks, half expecting him to turn into a demon and attack her. He suddenly turned around and Usagi gasped.
"Here Usa." Trunks said.
He blushed slightly as he handed her a white lily. Usagi took one look at the elegant flower and threw herself at Trunks, thoroughly crushing the beautiful fleur-le-lis.
"Heh heh. Oops." Usagi said while blushing.
"It's okay, you're more beautiful." Trunks said before throwing the flower over his shoulder and sweeping her into his arms for a kiss.
They stayed that way for a while, under the starlight. Her, leaning backwards and him, supporting her back with his hands as he leaned into her. It was a classic pose, something out of an old movie.
Trunks broke off the kiss and looked down at Usagi, absorbing her small nose, long lashes, and smooth skin. Usagi finally opened her eyes and looked into Trunks's eyes, getting lost in their deep blue, noticing the black flecks that sprinkled around his pupils.
Finally, Trunks straightened himself and steadied Usagi.
"Sorry for being so forward, I've never done that before." Trunks said a bit sheepishly.
"What haven't you done?" Usagi asked.
"Kissed a girl." He said quietly.
Usagi gave him a soft smile.
"How was it?" Usagi asked.
Trunks gave a small blush before responding with another kiss. They pulled apart and Trunks gave her another smile.
"It was great."

"Where we going now, Trunks?" Usagi asked as she put her head near his chest, listening to his heart beating.
"Well," Trunks said, smiling down at her, "Remember how you were praying to God?"
Usagi gave him a sheepish grin. "Yes?"
"I thought we'd go and meet him, his place has the best view."
If there had been a floor to crash on, Usagi would have been eating dirt.
"What?!?!?"
"We're here!" Trunks said.
Usagi looked around. "A floating top in the air is where God lives?"
"Yes," Trunks said, "But he prefers to be called Dende."
Usagi turned around and gave him a weird look.
Just then, a short green Namek came strolling into the room.
"Trunks! What are you doing here at this time of night?" Dende asked.
"Just thought I would show the sights to Usagi." Trunks said, indicating the girl who was hiding behind him, studying Dende.
'He's not human, so he might be a youma. He is green, after all, but he looks so little and cute. Hmmm. . .to transform or not to transform, that is the question. . .' Usagi thought.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Dende suddenly appeared in front of her face.
"Hello, Usagi! I'm Dende." He said
"Gah!" Usagi cried as she stumbled back and landed on her rear.
Trunks burst out laughing as he went to help Usagi up.
"S'not funny Trunks." Usagi said.
"I beg to differ." Trunks said as he smiled down at her.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. I get that a lot." Dende said.
Usagi felt bad, she should know better than to judge by appearances.
"No, I'm sorry. I guess I just wasn't expecting a short little green guy to be the creator of the universe." Usagi laughed.
Dende gave her a quizzical look.
"I didn't create the universe. . ." Dende said.
"But. . .you're god!" Usagi said.
"Actually, I'm Kami." Dende said.
Usagi was very confused. A little thought bubble appeared above her head.
'Kami = God?'
Dende gave a laugh at the expression on Usagi's face.
"Usagi, I'm not the 'God' you're thinking of. I didn't create the universe. I am, however, the guardian of earth, otherwise known as 'Kami'. I don't know why, it is confusing eh?" Dende said.
Usagi's face scrunched up as she tried to sort out this information and her face suddenly brightened up.
"So you're not really Kami/God, people just call you that for some reason?" Usagi asked.
"Right."
"People are weird. So then, shall I call you Dende as to avoid all this confusion?" Usagi asked.
"It would be preferred." Dende said politely.
"Well then, Dende, Trunks says you have the best view of this world from here. Care to show me around?" Usagi asked as she extended her arm.
"Love to." Dende said as he blushed and took her arm. He was usually very shy, but this Usagi seemed like such a nice girl with such a warm aura about her.
Trunks happily looked at them walking away before snapping out of his thoughts.
"Hey Usagi, Dende, wait for me!" He said as he ran to catch up.
Usagi took one look back at him, grabbed Dende by the hand, and ran as fast as she could down the halls.
"Dende, RUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!!!!" Usagi squealed.

"It's beautiful." Usagi gasped.
"Told you Dende had the best view, didn't I?" Trunks said.
Usagi didn't bother to respond, but gazed out at the world beyond Kami's lookout. It was so high up that it looked like the clouds were floating on top of the ocean. Trunks came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her head.
Usagi sighed. "Trunks, I keep thinking about what you said, about this not being a dream. . .it's hard to believe but I don't want this to be a dream either. I'll ask a friend about it in the morning."
Trunks gave her a kiss on top of her head.
"My mom's a genius, I'll ask her to see what she can find, too."
Usagi and Trunks closed their eyes and just enjoyed the feel of the breeze and of each other. Trunks opened his eyes and Usagi was gone.
