Thanks to everyone for reviewing!!!
Last Time:
"Well. . .I called him a baka?" Usagi said hesitantly.
Setsuna fainted.
"Setsuna-chan? Setsuna-chan? Daijoubu (are you okay)? Ano (um...) . . .should I not have done that? Setsuna-chan?" Usagi asked.
Chapter Four: Science Evades Usagi
Setsuna woke up in her bed feeling as if she had been hit on the head repeatedly with a hammer, but she sighed with relief.
'Thank goodness, it was just a dream.' She thought.
"GAH!" She yelled as Usagi practically leapt on top of her.
Usagi giggled.
"Did I scare you, Sets-chan? That's the first time that's ever happened. It's usually you who pops up out of nowhere and scares all the inners. Remember that time when we were all spying on Chibi-Chibi and you kept popping up right next to me?" Usagi asked. "You must've taken three years off my life!"
Setsuna chuckled. Yes, that had been fun.
"Anyway, I wanted to know why Vegeta-baka was so dangerous." Usagi said.
Setsuna's face looked as green as her hair.
"Usagi-hime. Vegeta-Ouji is a saiya-jin, a very strong species. He could easily make this planet explode." Setsuna said.
"NANI (WHAT)?!?" Usagi yelled.
"Yes, you should stay away from him." Setsuna said. "He's very dangerous. He's also had a very hard life and that made him slightly evil. Thankfully, he's become good so the world isn't in danger. However, he still has a very bad temper and very loose morals." Setsuna said gravely.
Usagi thought about this for a moment before responding.
"He's had that hard of a life?" She asked tearfully.
Setsuna instantly regretted her words. She knew what was coming.
"I hereby declare that I will make it my personal mission to bring happiness to the poor ouji who has led such a hard life. I will not rest until I bring a smile to his face and I will not stop until he is happy." Usagi said dramatically as she brought a fist to her chest.
A gust of wind blew Usagi's hair and her eyes sparkled with determination. She looked truly magnificent, like a lone soldier facing a cavalry.
Setsuna looked around quizzically. All the windows were shut. Where was that draft coming from?
"Usagi-hime, Vegeta-san is very happy, thanks to Bulma-san. He's just very pompous because he's a prince so he doesn't really care about the lives of people other than his family and certain friends." Setsuna said tiredly as she raced around the room, trying to feel if any air was coming in through invisible cracks in the walls. She paid a lot for this house; there damn well better not be any cracks!
"Oh." Usagi said.
They sat in silence for a while, each absorbed in their own thoughts. Finally, Usagi broke the silence.
"So Setsuna-chan, if these dreams are real, why am I not tired in the morning?" Usagi asked.
"I'm not entirely too sure. Why don't I run some tests on you and we can find out." Setsuna suggested.
Usagi started to think of needles and wires being poked into her.
"I don't know Sets-chan..." Usagi said hesitantly.
"Oh don't worry, hime-chan. All you have to do is fall asleep."
Usagi looked around at Setsuna's lab. She turned green and suddenly turned around, heading for the door.
"Usagi-hime, I promise. No needles." Setsuna said comfortingly as she dragged a struggling Usagi to a nearby chair.
Usagi stopped resisting. Setsuna wouldn't lie to her, right? Setsuna loved her, right!? Setsuna had died for her, right!?
"Setsuna, why are you strapping me into a chair?!?!" Usagi screeched.
"Umm...I want to make sure that you don't fall out when you fall asleep." Setsuna said distractedly as she tightened all the bonds and attached some wires to her head.
Usagi looked uneasy.
"Now. Go to sleep." Setsuna said.
Usagi raised an eyebrow at her. Setsuna sweatdropped and realized what she had just said. She was contemplating giving Usagi some sleeping pills when Usagi's face brightened.
"Okay!" And with that, Usagi was snoring.
Trunks ran his fingers through his hair as he took a walk in the afternoon sun. The sky was bright blue with many marshmallow-like clouds floating about. There was a cool breeze blowing from the east and birds were chirping in the trees. Trunks had hoped this wonderful day would take his mind off the golden-haired tenshi (angel) that had literally fallen into bed with him, but he couldn't focus on anything but her face. Her soft lips and silky hair was all he could think about. He closed his eyes as he reveled in her memory.
"GAH!" Trunks yelled as he stumbled to the ground. His face hit the dirt and he coughed out some dust. He looked back to see what he had tripped over and was met with the girl of his dreams. Or maybe it was her dreams? Who knew, he was just happy to see her.
"Trunks, you weight a ton!" Usagi said as she got off the ground. "Don't you know it's not nice to step on people?"
Trunks chuckled.
"Sorry Usa, you just sort of popped out of nowhere."
Usagi proceeded to wipe dust off her skirt. When she was finally satisfied with her appearance, she turned to Trunks, a wide smile on her face.
"I've just heard from a very reliable source that you are, in fact, not a dream." Usagi said bluntly.
"Oh? And who is this reliable source?" Trunks asked.
"Sailor Pluto, the Guardian of Time." Usagi said.
Setsuna stood in front of her computer, amazed at the readings she was getting from Usagi. It seemed she was, technically, asleep, which explained why she wasn't tired when she awoke. However, while her mind and body were at rest, her soul was somewhere else entirely. Hmm...she needed to get in touch with Mercury...but first...
"USAGI WAKE UP!!!"
"GAH!" Usagi yelled and she suddenly disappeared.
Trunks just stared at where she had been, only a moment ago, and blinked.
Usagi opened her eyes and started to breathe heavily.
"Setsuna-chan! Don't do that to me!" She complained.
Unfortunately, Setsuna did not seem to hear her as she was busy studying her readings. All of a sudden, Ami burst into the room.
"Is it true Setsuna-san?" She asked, breathless and red.
"I believe so, Ami-chan. Come here and look it over with me." Setsuna said as she waved her over.
"Guys? Guys, what is it?" Usagi asked as she was still strapped to her chair.
Ami and Setsuna, who were looking at the papers together and mumbling, paid her no attention. Finally, Ami whipped out her Mercury Computer and started to do a thorough scan of Usagi.
"It's true. I didn't think it was possible." Ami said.
"I didn't think so either, but here it is." Setsuna said.
"Guys, what are you talking about?!" Usagi yelled.
Suddenly, Setsuna and Ami turned towards her, eyeglasses flashing. Usagi had to wonder if maybe Ami was also related to Setsuna-san. The two started to walk towards her slowly and Usagi got shivers up her back.
'Scary.' She thought to herself as they started to unstrap her from the chair and pretty much drag her into Haruka's car.
"Senshi, we are gathered here today-"
"Setsuna, this isn't a wedding. Cut the crap and get straight to the point." Haruka said.
Setsuna turned her head to Haruka and she had to recoil under her gaze.
"As I was saying, we are gathered here because of some dire news." Setsuna said. "Usagi-sama, why don't you tell the others about your dreams."
Usagi looked like she was about to protest but clamped her mouth shut at the sight of Setsuna.
"Well, at the beginning of the week, I started to have dreams about this guy. His name is Briefs Trunks and-"
"Is he a Bishie?" Mina demanded. "Tell me he's hot!"
"Oh, he's really hot! He has lavender hair and he's really built and-"
"USAGI!"
"Eh, gomen Ami-chan." Usagi practically whimpered.
Setsuna pressed her fingers to her temples and moved them in slow circles.
"Simply put, Usagi has been going to a different world in her dreams." Setsuna said. "Every time her body sleeps, her soul wanders the world of one, Briefs Trunks."
"But why? Is there evil in that world?" Rei asked.
"Yes, but nothing the people of that world can't handle. It's more a matter of the soul." Ami answered.
She was met by blank stares.
Both she and Setsuna shared a "look".
"Since Usagi-chan has broken all ties with Mamoru-san, there really isn't anything keeping her from looking for another 'mate' so to speak. Therefore, the Ginzuishou can move towards another mate." Ami said.
"The Silver Crystal is playing matchmaker?" Mina asked with a disbelieving air.
"Not really. The Ginzuishou is just a tool, it doesn't have a mind of its own. If it did, it would probably be pulling Bishounen from all different dimensions and dropping it onto Usagi's lap."
"Not to mention a variety of sweets and candy." Makoto whispered to Rei who just nodded her head in acquiescence.
"Think of the Ginzuishou as a magnet that is now being attracted to another magnet of similar strength." Setsuna said.
"So this Trunks is Usagi's opposite?" Makoto asked.
"We said it was like a magnet, not is a magnet!" Ami scolded as Makoto shrank back in fear. Ami was only scary when it came to studying and ignorance.
"Wait, so why isn't only the Ginzuishou attracted to Trunks?" Mina asked.
"The Ginzuishou is part of Usagi. Bring Usagi's mind and body would be a drain on its energy so it brings Usagi's soul to that other world. Souls are always wandering during a person's slumber. When you dream, your soul is actually wandering another plane. Therefore, it requires less energy to transport a soul to another dimension than a person's body and mind." Setsuna said.
"But aren't there still royalty in this dimension? What about Kakyuu-hime and the Starlights?" Makoto asked.
"That's a very good question." Setsuna said and Makoto beamed with pride, almost blowing Ami a raspberry. "As we said, it's easy to transport a soul from dimension to dimension, but not across space. Transporting a soul across space is almost as hard as transporting a body across space. Also, it seems that Trunks' shine is much brighter than those left in our dimension."
Mamoru looked almost hurt.
"Those left without mates." Setsuna amended.
All the senshi of the inner planets sighed. How romantic. Usagi was being dragged through dimensions every night to be with one worthy of her love.
Their thoughts were interrupted by a large snore.
"USAGI NO BAKA, WAKE UP!!!!" Rei roared.
Trunks looked stupidly up at Usagi. He had been walking back to his mom's lab when he had suddenly found himself on the floor.
Giggle
"Looks like I landed on you this time, Trunks-kun." Usagi said as she gave him a hand to help him up.
Trunks, however, had other ideas. He grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the floor on top of him. He moved into a sitting position against a tree and cradled her in his lap as he gave her a kiss on the nose.
"For the ten minutes you were gone, I missed you." He said into her ear as he played with her hair.
Usagi blushed and giggled again.
"I missed you too. Why do you think I fell asleep so quickly?"
"Hey, where did you go that time?" He asked.
"Oh, Setsuna-chan woke me up. Last I remember, she was explaining to everyone what was happening to me." She said.
"Shouldn't you be listening to the explanation?" Trunks asked with a raised eyebrow.
Suddenly, Usagi went stiff and vanished from his grasp.
Reference to an ACTUAL episode!!!
Ano. . .July. . .would YOU like to write the story, because you have an awful lot of suggestions. . .just kidding! I'm glad to know that my story has inspired you so. Hehe. I'll tell you right now that there will be no Crystal Tokyo. It'll work out but mainly, it's because Chibi-Usa traveled back in time, but the future Crystal Tokyo will still exist. I guess you could say it'll be like what happened to Mirai Trunks. The future stayed the same but the past changed. I hadn't planned on Trunks coming to the SM world, but if I can work it out, I'll get him there. And Trunks's world IS a different dimension. xP Thanks for the review!
Sorry to everyone for taking so long with this! GOMEN GOMEN GOMEN!!!!
