A/N Hey! How you guys been? A couple of fillers for the last couple of chapters, but, hopefully, I'll get somewhere with this one, kay? I so happy! More people are reading this!
RRs:
Sylvah Tigah: Well, you could say that, I suppose. But Rose hardly ever uses the moon to fight. Its true she uses the moon to draw some of her power from, and to transform into her princess form, but other than that, its just for symbolic reason. In reality, right now, she is as powerful as Super Sailor Moon, if you want a comparison. And the Sailor Stars are as strong as the Sailor Scouts when they use 'crystal power' in the Pegasus season. As for the groups, they'll clash soon enough.
angelbirdy8: Yeah! This is alot! But for some reason, I really don't mind it.
Selena: I was wondering if someone was going to catch that. Yes, I hadn't forgotten that little rule. As for your other question, I probably will do that. More suprises there too. Hope you like reading! Please read more!
rsd: Why would I hit you? Oh. And I update my storys in a certain order, that way I don't start to neglect any of them. Thanks for reviewing!
Umi: You're back! Yay! Oh, and I can't wait to read your fic! Please tell me what its about! Me? A penpal! *stary eyes* I feel so privaledged!
Hart: Yeah! There's IS going to be a sequal to the sequal! And even a sequal after that! None of them are going to be as long as this though. But more on that later.
d.g. and crew: What? Cruise? *cries* Everyone went somewhere this summer but me!!! Stupid poor me!
Thanks to rsd, d.g. and crew, Hart, Umi, angelbirdy8, Selena, Sylvah Tigah moonprincess, MatrixSailorStarKnightZ, Kit, Tera Earth (aka Sailor Uranus), P.L.S., and *** for reviewing!
Disclaimer: I only own Rose and David, the evil bad guys are mine too.

Chapter 73: Lesson Three, Enlighten Yourself
Rose looked out of the window as Trunks neared the door. 'Here we go, its now or never.'
A split second later, the door opened and Trunks came in. He noticed Rose standing near the window. 'Was she waiting for me?' The look of depression on her face told him something was still bothering her. "You ready to go?" He asked.
The girl shook her head 'no.'
"Don't tell me you've changed your mind agian!" Trunks said with a laugh. "I swear, you're so attached to your hair!"
"Its not that." It was said softly. "Look, we need to talk." Rose said, her eyes hid behind her bangs.
Now the boy was confused, 'what does she mean?' He gulped. 'Don't tell me I did something wrong!' "What about?"
The girl hesitated. 'God, I don't want to do this!' She fidgeted, still not allowing herself to meet the gaze she knew the boy was giving her. "Well. How can I say this?" She knew she was stalling, and it wasn't making the situation any better. She drew a sharp intake of breath as she felt her hand be taken by another and given a reasurring squeeze.
Trunks looked at her as he took her hand for support. 'I wonder, whats got her so worked up?'
Sighing, Rose tilted her head up to catch his gaze. Her intense sad gaze caught the boy completely off guard. "Well, its just that...well, I like you...alot. And. I don't want to break your heart. When, *if* I ever get back to my world...."
"Is that all?" Trunks interupted with a small chuckle, that made Rose's eyes flicker with suprise. "Listen, I know you're not going to stay here if you can help it. And I don't blame you. Not with what's going on over there and stuff. But." He looked back into her eyes with more caring and determination than ever. "I don't mind the fact that you might not be near me for the rest of forever. Just do me a favor, lets not cross that bridge just yet. Can't we just be together, till that time comes?"
This sudden outburst caught the girl completely off guard. 'What is he saying? He doesn't MIND the possiblity that we can't stay this way? That there is a very real chance his heart might be shattered? But, what about me, what about *my* heart? Can I stand to have it broken again?' She turned her confused gaze towards the floor. "Well..."
"Oh, no! Look at the time! We got to be at the hair stylers in 10 minutes!" Trunks said, not giving time for her to answer, and dragging her out of the door. 'I'll give her some time to think about it.' He thought saddly. 'But I don't know why she would even chance it, being with me...'
David stepped from the place in the corner where he had eavesdropped on the two. 'Well, here we go again.' He thought saddly.
*********************************************************************************************
The last of the Tritus force smiled as the screen he was looking at flashed. On thescreen, nine orbs followed a track in a preset pattern around a bright bead.
"Not much longer." The figure said smiling, "by this time next week, everything will be in the proper place, and the princess will be put in her place, by me! Scorpius!"
From the next room, Bob smiled. "Its about time!"
*********************************************************************************************
Rose looked saddly out of her car window as she thought over the day's newest developments. 'What am I going to do?'
Trunks glanced over at his passenger worriedly. 'Man, she is taking this hard. Hopefully, I can cheer her up.' He felt a new wave of depression. 'But, I know how she feels.'
Barley acknowledging that the car she was in was slowing, Rose turned and looked as they stopped in a parking lot of a small shopping center. 'Wow, this is so different than what I've seen since I've been here!' She thought as she got out and looked at it.
"I know its small compared to the rest of the city, but that's why its so popular. People who don't like the hustle of a huge crowd are the majority of those who come here." Trunks explained to her.
"Oh." Was all Rose responded as she followed him into the store on the very end of the strip. He held the door open for her as he entered, and she took a second to look around the place.
Several chairs lined the walls, which were covered with mirrors. On counters underneath the mirrors, all kinds of cutting utensils lay. Rose looked at the sissors, mentally condemning them. On the back wall, funny chairs sat and they looked like they came with their own hat. The girl looked at those with a sense of fear and confusion. 'What are those?! I hope they don't expect me to sit in that!'
Behind her, Trunks talked with the hair dressor. "Yeah, only about shoulder-length."
The lady looked at the black haired girl. "Her hair is so pretty, why would she want to cut it?"
"Good question." Rose said.
Trunks laughed nervously. "Well, her friends and I thought it would be a good change." He said rubbing the back of his head.
"Uh huh." The stylist said, not really believing him. "Well, we can get started right away." She came up to the 'patient' and whispered in her ear. "I don't blame you either, I'd shave my head before I'd let a guy like that go!"
This caused the girl's face to light up.
Thankfully, Trunks didn't hear that little peice of information as he walked over. "Hey. I need to go next door for a minute. You'll be okay, won't you?"
Slowly, though quietly, the girl nodded. 'He's not...waiting for me?'
"I'll be back in five, ten minutes tops." He said as he squeezed her shoulders lightly.
"Okay." It was said with a hollow, almost void of all emotion. The shuffle of footsteps and the shutting of a door told her he was gone. With a sorrowful sigh, she walked over and sat in the chair the stylist was standing by.
The stylist looked at the girls hairstyle. "Um, could you take your hair down please? I don't think I can."
Slowly, Rose undid the two star shaped buns on the sides of her head.
Once done, the dresser started to comb through it. "That seemed like a nice young man."
"You have no idea."
*********************************************************************************************
Walking down the sidewalk, Trunks entered the jewelry store next door. He went up to the nearest salesman, who greeted him happily.
"Hello sir, how may I help you this afternoon?"
"Uh. Yeah. My name's Trunks Breifs, I called in an order this morning..."
"Oh, yes sir. Let me go to the back and get it."
Trunks rocked back and forth on his heels, looking at the cases with no real interest. He glared at the red-stoned jewelry. 'I swear, everytime I see a garnet, I think of Britney. That's all she ever wore. Weird girl!'
"Here you go, sir!" The salesman said as he came back, holding a black box, that was about five inches long by three inches wide. "I hope its to your liking." He said as he set the box on a nearby glass case and opened it.
"Its perfect!" Trunks said as he handed over his credit card.
The salesman smiled as he swiped the card. "Yes, the girl must be very special!"
"She is."
*********************************************************************************************
Rose frowned as she ran her fingers under her now shoulder-length black hair. (A/N Imagine the orginal Sailor Saturn's hair style, its the same)
The door clicked open and Trunks walked in and looked at her. "Wow."
A new blush crept into the girl's cheeks. She nervously tucked some of her hair behind her ear.
Stepping up to the girl, he gaped open-mouthed at her. "Your hair looks great!"
Rose looked up at him shyly. "You think so?"
"Yeah! Of course!" He said, and then he remembered what was in his hand. "Here. I got you something."
She looked up at him with confusion. "But. You didn't have to!"
"I know." He said, handing her the box. "But I wanted to."
The sharp intake of breath told him that she had opened the box. She looked longingly at the object inside. Carefully, she took it out of the box. It was a long hair clip. In the middle, a gold cresent moon with a purple star above it were encrusted into the darker golden back. Four stars were lined on the bow, with two on each side of the cresent moon. These were differently colored, and going from left to right was a pale blue jewel, a pale yellow jewel, a blood red jewel, and an emerald green jewel. 'He remembered...these are the symbols of me and my friends!' Snapping her gaze at the barer of the gift, her eyes started to water.
'Oh no! Don't tell me I did something wrong!' He thought panicing.
"Thank you!" Rose exclaimed, griping Trunks in a hug. "Thank you so much!" Her mood was lifting faster by the second, and shot up as the hug was returned.
"You're welcome."
'Oh yes!' Rose thought happily. 'I'll risk being with him as long as I can. This is worth more than having my heart broken a hundred times!'
Ends chapter 73
