Chapter 64: The Dance, part 3

Trunks looked at Jack as he came up to him. "You want something?"

Jack glared at him. "Yes. I want you to lay off my girl. I know you are just using that other girl to get Britney jealous."

Trunks looked at him like he was the stupidest person on the face of the Earth...of course....that's because he WAS. And to further prove his IQ level, he did the single most stupid thing anyone could do given this situation.

Jack brought his hand back and hit him. Now, Jack was on the football team...and was pretty strong...but he was still stupid.

Trunks looked stunned for a moment.'There is a fist on my cheek.' And all those years of training with his father kicked in. If you get hit...you hit back.

So, without hesitation, he brought his fist back and *calmly* placed it on the wall. (Vegeta trained him, but Bulma taught him 'people skills' and those don't include punching mortal people's faces in)

Did I say he 'placed' his hand on the wall? No. He placed it *through* the wall. He glared at Jack who was horrorstruck as Trunks pulled his hand out of the wall without flinching. Plaster littered the floor and Trunks just eyed his not-worthy opponent as he AGIAN washed his hands.

Trunks finished and walked around the stupid one towards the door. But not before issueing a warning: "Don't you EVER try anything like that AGAIN. I do NOT want that-that-BRITNEY back! YOU can KEEP her!"

With that, he stormed out and in search of his date.

*********************************************************************************************

Britney smiled as she watched Trunks come back alone. 'Now's my chance!' She looked over to the balcony where that girl was. She was still talking to those three boys from Trunks' class. And from the looks of things, that girl was not liking the way the conversation was going.

Smirking, she made her way over to HER guy. She snuck up on the unsuspecting Trunks, who was still looking around. Smiling, she wrapped her arms around his arm and hugged him.

Trunks stopped and looked down, half-expecting it to be Rose who had grabbed his arm. When he saw who it was in reality, he desperatly pulled his arm back from Britney's grasp.

"What do you want, Britney?" He practically growled at her.

Britney smiled. "Why, to dance, of course. You are my partner for the dance test, remember?" 'Ha! I've got him now!'

Trunks looked smug. "You're too late, I've already took my test, and passed it with flying colors!" He was happy to see the look of shock and suprise on Britney's face. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and find my date."

And he walked away, leaving a scowling Britney behind him.

Smirking to himself, he looked around the gym, finally, he found who he was searching. 'There she is.' He made his way towards the balcony, where Rose was talking to three of his classmates.

*********************************************************************************************

Rose politely talked with the boys who had approached her. Though, she was not really enjoying the conversation.

"So," one of them said. "How long have you and Trunks known each other?"

"Not long, um, about two weeks." She said.

"So, you and him have been going out that long?" Another asked, stepping closer to her.

Rose noticed this movement and backed away slightly. "No, um. We're just really good freinds."

"I see," The third boy said as he put his arm around her shoulders. "You're unattached, right?"

Rose was dumbfounded. 'Why is he hanging on me?!?' Very calmly, she removed his hand from her shoulder. "Excuse you, you're invading my personal space. Now, please let me be."

"Now, why do you want us to do that for?" They said as they stepped closer to her, agian.

"She said for you to leave her alone." A voice said from behind Rose.

Rose turned and Trunks was standing there, with a stern expresstion on his face. "Trunks." She smiled at him, though her thoughts were of concern. 'That look on his face, did something happen?'

"Oh, hi Trunks." The said. "Don't worry, we were just keeping her company, so she wouldn't be lonely." They said backing up. "See you in class on Monday, right? Bye!" And they left in search of other unattached girls to torment.

Trunks glared after them and silently walked outside and stood on the empty balcony.

Rose looked at him. 'I wonder, did something happen? Something must be wrong. I wonder...' She followed behind and stood beside them. She rested her arms on the balcony and looked up into the night sky.

"I'll never get used to it." She said, breaking the silence.

Trunks looked at her out of the corner of his eye. "What?"

She smiled saddly. "I don't know, just a little homesick, I suppose." She looked at him. "Are you okay? You look a little mad."

Memories of the bathroom and the latest Britney encounter flashed through his mind. He stayed silent.

Rose waited patiently for a moment, when nothing came from him, Rose spoke again. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But you can always talk to me if you like. I'll leave you alone now." And she turned to leave. But a hand grasping hers stopped her.

"No. Please. I really don't want to be alone." Came the explaination from the lavender-haired boy.

Rose said nothing but with a confused look on her face, nodded and resumed her place beside him. Noticing he still held her hand, she gave it a reasuring squeese. "Jack confronted me, a little while ago. He still thinks I'm after that thing he calls his girlfriend. I told him to back off and that I wasn't interested, but he's just stupid. I came close...to punching him. I held back, though." He smirked. "But I think that wall I punched a hole in will convince him to stay away."

Rose nodded in understanding, but didn't say anything, not wanting to interupt.

"Then, to make things worse, guess who comes along. Britney! She won't leave me alone! I told her also to back off, but she's determined. I know she's just trying to get me back so she can dump me again." He looked at Rose's horrified look. "Don't worry though, I'm not falling for it. I can't stand her, or Jack, but they keep popping up, bothering me. And its getting on my last nerve." He finished his story and looked at the girl beside him and smiled. "Thanks for listening. I don't have many people to talk to like this."

Rose smiled at him. "Don't mention it. I'm just glad I could help." She looked once again to the sky, totally entranced by the star's light.

Trunks looked at her before he blushed and looked up also. 'Why did I just pour my heart out to her? I haven't even known her for long! And yet, I talk to her like I've known her my whole life!' He waited for the blush to leave his cheeks and spoke. "Hey! You know so much about my life, what about your's? What's your world like?"

Rose looked longingly at the stars. "Home? Well, its a lot different than this one, that's for sure. Well, lets see. I guess the first thing that comes to mind when I compare the two is the sky."

"The sky?"

She nodded. "Yes. In my world, the moon still exists, and its full every night, and I like to go to the balcony in my room and just stare at it when I'm feeling depressed. It calms me somewhat."

Trunks nodded in understanding. "So, have you, been down lately?" 'Duh! Stupid! What a stupid question!'

Rose said nothing, but looked in another part of the sky. She felt the grip on her hand tighten gently. "Well, a little. I really miss everything over there. And I'm really worried about my freinds." She felt herself sadden, and quickly changed the subject. "But the stars. They are the same here as they are back home. And I find a little comfort in them." She turned to him and smiled.

"Your friends? What are they like?" He asked her.

The girl smiled as she thought about them. "They are the best friends I could wish for. First, there's Amanda, also known as Sailor Mercury. She makes sure we all keep our school life in tact. Even though we sometimes have to skip school to take care of a rouge monster. Somehow, she keeps us all caught up."

Rose paused for a moment. "Then, there's Marron, its funny, she reminds me alot of one of your friends. She becomes Sailor Venus. Shop a holick extrodanire. She keeps us in style. Shame is, she is very forgetful, and is the reason we are usually late getting to school. But she is a very good friend, and never fails to find a cute guy in a sea of people."

Trunks smiled at this. "Sounds interesting."

Rose nodded. "Rachel, who could forget her. Sailor Mars, that's her fighting name. She is skilled in reading fortunes and telling the future and stuff. She uses her religious powers to fight, amoung other things. Just don't get her mad. She has a very short temper."

She stopped long enough to take a breath. "And finally, Laura. We call her Sailor Jupiter. She's physically stronger than any of the rest of us. Though, and don't tell her I told you this, she is no where near as strong as you. I remember a monster made the mistake of calling her weak once, and lets just say, that was the last thing he said. But she has a good heart, as do all of my friends. And I miss them."

Trunks looked a bit downcast. "I'm sorry, about bringing them up. I didn't want to make you sad. I wanted to cheer you up."

Rose looked at him and smiled. "Don't worry, its okay. My mother once told me that a person's emotions can be very powerful, and if left unchecked, they could destory a person."

"You're mother?"

Rose nodded. "Yes. Neo queen Serenity. My father used to tell me stories of how when he and my mother were young, they would fight and battle evil together. Back then, she was known as Sailor Moon, champion of love and justice. Back then, she was a normal girl, born to a normal family and later given the title of royalty. The story is a bit confusing, but the way I understood it was that she and father were reincarnations of a prince and princess. After a long and deadly battle, they lost thier lives and were reborn on the planet Earth."

She paused in her story and looked at Trunks, who had the most confused look she had ever seen. 'I'll have to get David to explain Mother and Father's ancient past.'

"But it's Rini I miss the most."

"Who's that?"

"My little sister. Right before...I found myself here, I sent Rini away, to where I knew she would be safe. But, I have no idea of knowing...if she got there safely...or not." A single tear rolled down her cheek and she quickly brushed it off.

"Well, that's everything I can think of right now, I think." Rose said as she quickly hid her saddess with a smile.

"I'm sure you'll see them again soon." He said, trying to cheer her up.

Rose looked at him expectantly. "You think so?"

Trunks looked confident as he smiled at her. "I'm sure of it!" (A/N Imagine the scene where Serena and Darien are trapped in the elevator, and Serena thinks he looks like Tuxedo Mask, only with Trunks)

Rose looked suprised for a moment, then looked at him and giggled.

Trunks frowned slightly. "What's so funny?"

The girl paused in her giggling. "I don't know, but its just, for a second, you looked like my father. He always wore tuxedos like the one your wearing."

"He does? Why?" Trunks was bewildered as to why anyone would want to wear fancy clothes like this by choice, EVERYDAY.

She smiled as she remembered the bed-time stories told to her about her parent's old days. "Back then, he was the great Tuxedo Mask, and would always come just in the knick of time to save Sailor Moon from danger." Rose looked at the lavender-haired boy beside her. "You know, that's how I got my name, after all. See, he always made an entrance, and that consisted mainly of a red rose being thrown though the air and stricking the ground."

Trunks said nothing, but just looked at her. 'Her eyes seem to light up when she talks about her world. She seems so carefree, and yet, so held back.' He then realized his heart was racing. 'What is this feeling? Why do I feel so relaxed when I'm near her? Could it be...am I falling for her?'

She could feel it, someone staring at her. After a moment, she realized it was the one who still held her hand. She looked up into his eyes. 'Eh? Why is he looking at me like that?' Her heart went into overdrive. 'His eyes, so full of caring, for me? And why am I, feeling this way?' She watched as he slowly lowered his head towards her. She felt herself rise to meet him. 'Its been so long since I've felt this way...' She felt the two of them come closer. 'Not since....not since...' They were mere inches apart. 'Robert.'

And of course, that ruined the moment.

Realization struck the girl and she quickly lowered her head, and turned away. "I'm sorry, its just...I'm not...ready." She said, worried Trunks would now hate her.

Her fears were realized as she felt her hand be let go. But then, she gasped in suprise as she felt Trunks put his arm around her shoulders. "Its okay, really. I don't know what came over me, myself."

Rose smiled and leaned into him, looking up once again into the night sky. "I really enjoyed myself tonight. Thank you for taking me."

He held her tight. "Don't mention it. Hey, if there's anything you want, just tell me, okay?"

Her thoughts returned once agian to the fight against the monster, Aquarus. She hated that feeling she had of helplessness he brought her too, and the fact that he was exploiting one of her two most hated fears just irrated her. She looked up at the boy holding her.

"Maybe there is something." She waited for Trunks to look back at her. "Well, when we fought Aquarus, he had the upper hand over me. By exploiting my fears and talents."

Trunks looked at her, as she was figeting, obviously not used to asking favors.

"So, do you think, would you teach me how to fly?"
