Chapter 23
Now for the story.
Usagi and Trunks talked for hours about what they had seen from each other. They couldn't hide anything anymore, so they talked to make sense of the different images they got of the other's life. Usagi explained everything to him, from beginning to end and he did likewise.
And it was a long tale to tell. Usagi told him of her life as a princess in the Silver Millennium, which she remembered. And her reincarnation into her present life as Tsukino Usagi. As Trunks listened to her story, he realized that while she had been well taken care of all her life that it was far from easy, like his.
After she was finished and all questions asked, he told her about his life. Mainly she asked questions and he answered them. They both found out valuable things about the other, and that knowledge made them even closer. From now on, and for the rest of their lives, they would be together.
Setsuna came by late in the afternoon with the girls. She wanted to give them enough time to be alone. When she and the girls came by later that afternoon, they walked in to find them laughing and talking.
"We're back!" Chibi Usa said jumping into her mother's lap and hugging her. Setsuna sat down in an arm chair. Annie sat next to her father. "Did you two miss us?" She asked looking at him.
"Of course we did!" Usagi said giving Chibi Usa a kiss on the forehead.
"What did you girls do while you were with Setsuna anyway," Trunks said picking Annie up and placing her on his lap.
"We went out shopping today!" Annie said excitedly.
"Yep, Aunt Setsuna bought us the prettiest dresses ever! I got a pink one!" Chibi Usa told her mother.
"Really? I would love to see them," Usagi said.
"Did they give you any trouble, Setsuna?" Trunks asked.
"Not at all. They were very well behaved. I enjoyed taking care of them. I'll do it more often when you two need some time alone," she answered with a slight smile. Usagi blushed at the double meaning, but Trunks wasn't phased.
"Thank you. Now we don't need to look for a baby sitter," he responded. Setsuna just smiled.
The rest of their vacation was spent more openly with the two new lovers actually being a bit more affectionate. Trunks found her tail attractive and Usagi didn't feel the need to hide it, so she left it out in the open, like at home.
Usagi expressed the importance of not telling anyone about her little secret to anyone. Trunks protested, saying that his family would
definitely understand but Usagi wasn't going to back down on that. Although she had warmed up to him, she was very hesitant to trust his family with that secret.
Usagi and Trunks slept together from that night onwards. Chibi Usa and Annie were happy that their parents had finally gotten together and they were looking forward to being more to each other than just best friends.
They left Spain as scheduled. Setsuna had to remain because of business. While the girls were reluctant to leave, they were homesick. They missed their friends and the others.
The ride back was uneventful, with them having the same seating arrangements as before. They arrived back home as scheduled.
At the airport, Bulma and the rest of the family were waiting for their plane to arrive. The rest of the gang and Usagi's friends were back at capsule corp. They were having a welcome home party for them, as they expected the two to come back as a little more that just good friends.
Chibi Trunks was being difficult as usual. "Why is it that I couldn't stay home with dad? Are you punishing me for breaking those robots?"
"No Chibi Trunks, although I should. But we're here to pick up Trunks and Usagi and the girls. Besides they'll need help with their luggage and other things. Now behave and stop whining!"
Chibi Trunks sighed and folded his arms. " I will. All I'm interested in is knowing if they got laid anyway," he grumbled. Unfortunately his mom heard him.
"Chibi Trunks!"
He cringed and ran for his life.
Anna arrived at the airport early to wait for Trunks. She had brought a few roses and had plans to ask him to dinner tonight. Anna was honestly tired of living by herself. Sure she was comfortable, but it just wasn't the same without being married to Trunks again. Then, she had so many privileges and could get what she wanted. Now she had to budget her spending for the month. This meant shopping sprees on a budget. Anna saw Bulma and went up to her. She knew that Bulma didn't exactly like her, but at least they were on a formal speaking basis.
Bulma had just caught hold of Chibi Trunks when she spotted Anna. She was honestly glad that they were broken up. But she also realized that Anna was trying to get back with her son. That prospect wasn't pleasing to her at all. Bulma couldn't let that happen. That is why she is trying to push Trunks and Usagi together. She liked Usagi a lot and those two seemed made for each other.
Bulma saw a perfect opportunity to try to dissuade Anna from trying to get her son back. She was almost positive that she would go away after she saw Usagi.
"Anna, how lovely to see you!" she said, dropping Chibi Trunks. Said boy was glad his mother as distracted.
"Oh Bulma is has been a while hasn't it?" Anna said hugging her quickly. "Yes it has. What are you doing here?" She said acting surprised.
"Well I decided to come and welcome Trunks back home. It's been a long time since I saw him," Anna said. "Hi again, Chibi Trunks."
"Hello Anna," he said dismissively and went to sit down.
Anna raised an eyebrow but still accepted the cold-shouldering. They'll have to accept me again when Trunks and I get back together,' She thought.
"So when is the plane arriving?" Anna asked Bulma.
"It should be arriving any time now," She said. No sooner had she spoken then an announcement rang through the waiting area.
"Libra Air, Flight 207 from Madrid Spain, has arrived at gate 28. I repeat, Libra Air, Flight 207 has arrived at gate 28. Thank you."
"Well let's go," Bulma said. The three of them walked to the gate. Anna was watching attentively as the passengers got off. She really wanted to see him.
And see him she did. But not how she expected. He was smiling and talking to some pretty blond. And if that wasn't bad enough, they were actually holding hands. Anna could not believe it. So many emotions passed through her all at once. She crushed the roses in her hand.
Bulma on the other hand was happy. Finally those two were together. Bulma had caught a glance at Anna's face and was even happier. Now she knows to stay away,' Bulma thought.
Chibi Trunks called out to them. Trunks looked in the direction of the voice and saw the last person he expected to see.
Goddamnit, why now?' he thought.
Annie looked up from her small conversation with Chibi Usa. "Mama?"
That definitely caught both Usagi and Chibi Usa's attention.
