Sorry about the wait, I know I got the five reviews I was hoping for but I just didn't have the time to update. I just got over a little bit of writers block. I hope it will work on my other stories as well. So Enjoy!

I do not own Trigun or Sailor Moon, but the story line does belong to me.

When Vash finished his story his usual energy seemed to have fallen. He looked as if he had just relived the moment that Rem had died. Raye hadn't noticed until then that he looked as if he had relived it several times. She decided that she could trust Vash and thought about how to ask him about 'the stampede.' Hoping he could help her because she desperately wanted to get home.

"Vash, I have a question," he looked at her as she turned her head away, "I was sent here to find someone and bring him back."

"I could probably help you, I know this place pretty well. Who are you looking for?"

She was afraid to say anything; she remembered what the old man had said. "The woman who sent me here said to find 'the stampede.'

Vash looked at her, he was unsure what to say. "I don't guess we have to look very far."

Looking back towards Vash, Raye gives him a puzzled look, "What do you mean?"

"I believe you are looking for me. I have been called 'Vash the Stampede' for a while because of events that I did not cause. Though some people would beg to differ, but they only see what they want."

Raye's jaw dropped, this was the easiest job she had ever had. The only problem was talking him into going with her, and how to get home.

"I…I…need you to go with me. Will you go with me to Earth? Apparently our fate depends on you being there. Please come with me." Raye's eyes were pleading, almost puppy dog style. She hoped that it would shatter Vash's thoughts of saying no. She knew that he feared Earth for some reason, but she would find a way to get him to think differently about it.

"Are you sure it's real? It's not dying like Rem told me?"

"Not that I know of, according to what I have heard and seen in the future it is going to last a long time. Maybe my Earth is different than the one Rem told you about." She hoped he would go with her, she felt like she had been away for ages when in all honesty it had only been about a day.

"I don't know, let me think about it for a little while. I will let you know in the morning."

Raye looked out the window; they had been talking for a long time. It was growing dark outside. She stood up and headed towards the door, she turned to look at Vash, his head was down and he seemed deep in thought. She stepped out into the hallway and went to her room.

Vash woke up to a familiar sound, music that he hadn't heard in a long time. He followed the sound to the hallway and stopped at Raye's door. It was coming from inside, a beautiful voice drifted through the slightly open door.

So... On the first night,

a pebble falls to the earth from somewhere.

So... On the second night,

The pebble's children hold hands and sketch a waltz.

Sound life

So... On the third night,

The children of the waltz cause ripples on the face of the world

So... On the fourth night,

the children of the wave spray the shore.

Vash could see Raye sitting at the window, her mouth open in the shape of the words that he had heard so many times. He wondered how she knew this song, and at the same time he thought that she looked a lot like Rem. Why hadn't he noticed it before, it seemed so obvious to him at that moment.

Sound life

So... On the fifth night,

those shards strike the face of the earth over and over.

So... On the sixth night,

those signals bring travelers together.

Sound life

So... On the seventh night,

a weightless ship races to the sky.

So... On the eighth morning,

a song from somewhere reaches my ears.

Sound life

Well then... A song that has recorded everything

echoes to the new sky.

Sound life

Sound life

As he made his way back to his room he made his decision.

Raye opened her eyes to the sunlight that she had become accustomed to recently. Her mind went instantly to Vash, what had he decided? She hoped he wanted to go with her to see what Rem had told him about. Hoped that he would want to see the beautiful land of Earth, not the deserts of Gunsmoke.

She heard a knock at her door, "Come in." Vash walked in dressed and ready to go somewhere.

"Well, aren't you ready? We have to find out how to get to your home. Get up, come on, are you always this hard to get up?"

Raye looked at him, was he saying that he was coming with her? "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you decide to come with me?"

"Yeah come on, I didn't think Rem would want me to miss this," he didn't tell her his reason for changing his mind. He was sure that one day she would find out anyways. So he might as well just wait until that day.

Raye jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom to wake herself up. It didn't take her long and the two of them set out to find a way back.

They had been walking across the desert for what seemed like hours when Raye decided she needed a rest. "Pluto! How do we get home," she yelled in frustration.

Vash watched her as she sat down on the sand. He went stiff when he saw a cloud of dark green form behind her. "Raye, watch out!" He pulled out his gun as Raye turned to see the cloud.

"No!" Raye yelled, but she was too late. The shot rang out, flying towards the cloud.

The cloud was forming into the Guardian of Time, as the bullet got close. It was easily stopped by the Princess of Pluto, as Raye thanked the heavens.

"Has he been that rash since you met him Raye," Pluto said as Raye was catching her breath.

"Actually no, when I first met him he passed out at my feet. Are you here to take us back, please say you are."

"Yeah, now get ready, this could be uncomfortable for some."

Raye and Vash stood there and waited for Pluto to send them to Earth. A large blast of green surrounded them and Pluto's garnet orb circled the three as they started to fade from the surface of Gunsmoke. Raye hoped that whatever the reason was for Vash going to Earth would not be occurring as soon as they got there. She also hoped that her friends where ok and that Pluto had explained to them where she was.

I hope you liked it; I'm not entirely satisfied with it so I will probably rewrite it at some point. But please review, the next chapter might be out soon.
