A Galaxy of Difference : A Story of Love

"My parents kicked me out because they caught me with Lita. Is everyone happy now?"

Mallory ran out before anyone could see the tears fall. She knew that she could call Haruka from the garage at the race track. That was where she ended up at, and that is where her life turned around.

Mallory went into the garage and didn't expect anyone to be there, but there was.

"Excuse me Miss, but the garage isn't open for fan's today, sorry." A strange, but cute looking guy said.

"That's ok. I just need to use the phone to call Ruka." Mallory said. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Mallory."

"Rai. I didn't know anyone was coming here today. I just came to finish up on the car." He said.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you." Mallory sweetly said as she was wiping her eyes.

"Are you ok?" Rai asked as he was under the hood of the car.

"Yeah…I'll be fine. I had to tell my sister and best friends why I ran five years ago. Technically, I didn't run away, I was kicked out." Mallory said.

"I remember hearing Ruka talk about that. I didn't realize that it was you." Rai said.

"Yep," Mallory proudly said. There was no reason to hide behind the reason now that everyone knew and besides it was nice to not be judged because of it. "I trashed my car before I left. You must have started here after I left because I was always here."

"Well then I probably got your job."

"So you're in charge of nothing? Because all I did was stand around and kept the fan girls away."

"Yeah…that's not my job."

They both laughed and Mallory forgot all about calling Haruka. Mallory ended up helping him. She cleaned the inside of the car. Then she realized that she probably should be going since she had spent the rest of the day with him.

"Rai, I really should call Ruka. I don't want to worry them."

"It's ok. I'll give you a ride."

"Thanks." Mallory sweetly said.

"You're welcome. Ruka already called here looking for you. I told her that you were here and I would give you the ride back home."

"Wait a minute…..You know Ruka's biggest secret?" Mallory asked, not really believing what she just heard.

"Yep, I do. It wasn't hard to figure out. Especially since she let me live at her place for a couple of months." Rai said.

Mallory was completely lost. She didn't know what to think, but eventually her brain caught up with her. "Does everyone that works for Ruka know that she's a girl?"

"I'm the only one." Rai stated.

So Haruka, or Ruka, is a girl. This Mallory already knew, but what confused her most was that Rai knew. This didn't make a whole lot of sense, but then again, Mallory was lost in Rai's looks. His shoulder length lavender hair and those baby blue eyes that seemed to her anything. She eventually snapped out of her mind.

"Whenever you ready to go is fine with me." Mallory said.

"All right. But it shouldn't be more than twenty minutes." Rai said.

"Cool." Mallory said as she sat on the tool bench.

She was too busy watching Rai to notice anything that was happening. To Mallory, he was like a really skillful prince and really incredibility sweet.

"I think that were ready to go." Rai said as he shut the hood of the car.

"Already," Mallory stated as she tried to make it look like she wasn't starring at him.

"Yeah," Rai said as he was locking up and Mallory walked towards him. "You want to go get something to eat? Because I'm kind of hungry." Rai asked.

"Sure, I mean its fine." Mallory said as she gladly accepted his dinner invitation, "I don't care where we go."

"I know just the place then." Rai said as they left the garage and walked to his car.

He helped her get in his 1994 Ford Probe, and then he got in. Rai drove over to an apartment, well more like a duplex. "You don't mind if we go to my place to eat? I have an extra room….well…you'll see..."

"It's fine." Mallory said cutting him off.

"Great." Rai excitedly said.

So he parked his car and they went through his front door. Mallory thought that it was going to be different, but it was that exact moment when she realized she felt like she was home.

"Make yourself comfortable. Don't worry about noise."

"Why?" Mallory asked since she was confused.

"I had the landlord soundproof the wall between the complexes. It was easier since I don't get home until at least midnight." Rai stated as he walked into the kitchen.

"That makes sense." Mallory replied back.

"Yep." He replied back from the kitchen.

Mallory sat down on the couch and sat there trying not to think about what happened earlier. Rai came back after a couple of minutes with two bags of potato chips and two cans of cherry soda. He handed her the soda and a bag of chips before sitting down.

"Thanks." Mallory said as she opened the bag.

Mallory was happy to have something to eat, even though she want more then that. While they were eating, she watched Rai flip through the different television channels. After about ten minutes, Mallory just stared at the bag of chips. Rai was not worried at first, but after a few minutes he started to get worried.

"What's wrong?" Rai asked.

"I'm just thinking about what happened today." Mallory said trying not to cry.

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you get kicked out?" Rai wasn't sure he should ask that question, but he didn't want to see this girl hurting.

"Um," Mallory paused, "well…"

"If you don't want to talk about it, its fine." He said as she started to trail off.

"No, I've probably should. I mean I've spent at least…what like ten hours with you…"

"Don't take this the wrong way, but I feel like I've known you forever." Rai said not really caring what Mallory thought.

"Me too," Mallory said with a smile.

"So…"

"I know that you're probably going to hate me, but I don't care because this is important." Mallory said.

"Ok." Rai didn't think that he could actually hate the other girl. He was sure that whatever she went through, his life experiences were at least ten times worse.

Mallory took a deep breath and reminded herself that friendships are based on trust. She felt that this was one thing that she could trust him with. "Serena use to always have sleepovers with the girls: Rei, Mina, Ami, and Lita. I always went to either Ruka's or Darien's. One time, though, I had to stay home since no one had told me that there was going to be a sleepover."

"How could you not have known?" Rai asked.

"Because Serena, my sister, wouldn't tell me." Mallory said.

"Why?" Rai was confused. This was only the beginning of the story and while it wasn't much, he felt like this was about to go from bad to worse.

"Serena wanted me to go." Mallory stated as a matter of fact.

"Oh," That confirmed that she and her sister must not have gotten along.

"Anyway, the sleepover was at my house." Mallory paused. She was thinking of telling him when this all happened. "This would have been my freshmen year of high school." Mallory paused again. "I sat down on the couch and Lita sat next to me. At the time, I was in love with her. I didn't know that these were experimental sleepovers, if you could even call them that. By default, Lita and I ended up together. After that we were inseparable. For two years we were an unofficial couple for two years, but it was our junior year that we decided we needed to make it official. We dated for the last two years of high school, which happened to be the best memories I have of highschool, but the day after prom she told me that we were over…" Mallory said as she trailed off. It was then she realized Rai was sitting next to her. Mallory was trying her hardest not to end up in tears.

"Why did you guys break up? Exactly when was prom?" Rai asked being very confused.

"May 1st," Mallory blinked back some tears, "I never did get an explanation. She just said that we were done and that was final. I tried to talk to her, but she kept avoiding me. I didn't want this to be the end of everything between us. I didn't want to lose my best friend. That was when I at least saw her, because she was never around." Mallory said as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"That's awful. See I at least would have had an explanation….I can't believe that she did that." He said still not fully able to believe it. "What I don't get is how did you get kicked out?"

"Well, a couple weeks before prom," Mallory paused yet again, but this time it was to try to stop her tears that were threatening to fall, "we were in my room fooling around. My parents weren't home, and neither was my brother, Sammy, or Serena. However, my parents decided to come home early. I still don't know what made them go up to my room, but when they opened the door they saw Lita on top of me kissing my neck and her hand," Mallory trailed off again, but only because she couldn't tell him that. "Her hand in a place that it should not have been. My parents freaked out and demanded an explanation. I told them that I loved her with all my heart, but that wasn't good enough. They bitched me out then and there while Lita would not say anything. All she did was get dressed and leave. After she left, they kicked me out. "

Rai was amazed that she had gone into such detail…detail that the poor guy did not need to know, but for some strange reason he was glad that he knew the whole truth. "They caught you having sex with your girlfriend and that is why they kicked you out?"

"Yep." Mallory stated.

"That's so dumb." Rai barked. "I mean what did they think when these sleepovers were happening?"

"I know. The thing is though that at the time we were the only ones that didn't change after the sleepovers had stopped."

"Is this why she broke up with you?" He curiously asked.

"Could have been," Mallory stated. "I don't know though since I left the night of graduation." Mallory said.

"I heard that Serena got this call from a pay phone, was it you?" Rai asked.

"Of course it was." Mallory said smiling. "It wasn't like I could go all way to Chicago and then spend my time worrying about what my sister thought of me. I left the message on her cell phone telling her I was fine and not to come after me."

"Obviously, it must have worked."

"It did," Mallory had to admit that it was nice being able to talk to someone about all of this. "I missed everyone so much even though I really had no reason to. It go tso bad that I would got see Michelle when she had her concerts and Ruka's races if they were close by. They both had a way of telling me that everything was just fine back home. So I just trusted that I wasn't misreading the body language."

The two of them sat there enjoying each other's company more than they would ever admit. They sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Rai got up to go the kitchen to put things away. Mallory followed him and stood against the counter in front of the sink.

"Hey Rai, wanna know something funny?"

"What?"

"It was Ruka who convinced me to come home." Mallory said.

"How does that work?" Rai curiously asked.

"Because I ran into her while I was at one of the races."

"That was stupid." Rai stated.

"Tell me about it." Mallory said as she went back to the living room and sat on the couch. "I just thought I could pop in and just look at her. I mean how in the hell was I suppose to know that she would be able to recognize me after all these years." Mallory said. She really didn't care anymore; it was just nice to let everything out.

Rai took a deep breath before saying this, "I thought that I knew you from somewhere. No wonder you look so familiar. Now I understand why Ruka wanted to do some races there."

All of a sudden, Rai disappeared into a room and came out with a picture. Mallory knew that this probably wasn't going to be good, especially with it going on three in the morning. Then he sat down next to her, and handed her the frame.

"That's me and my daughter, Hope. She was two and that my favorite picture. I was fifteen then." Rai said. You could tell that by the sound of his voice this was serious.

"Where is she? If you don't mind me asking, because she isn't here." Mallory said. "Or is she?"

"No, she isn't." Rai stated.

"Why?" Mallory asked wanting to know where she was.

"Because," Rai paused. He had no idea on how to tell this girl who he has known for roughly sixteen hours, his scariest and biggest secret. "I know that Serena is Sailor Moon, so that would have to make you?"

"Sailor Moon. I have the same powers and everything, except I'm only a dumb princess. How did you know this?" Mallory was shocked that he knew this.

"From living with Ruka. She's Sailor Uranus, Michelle is Sailor Neptune, Setsuna is Sailor Pluto, Hotaru is Sailor Saturn, Lita is Sailor Jupiter, Ami is Sailor Mercury, Rei is Sailor Mars, Mina is Sailor Venus, Seiya is a star fighter, Darien is whatever version of tuxedo mask, and you and Serena are Sailor Moon. Oh I can't forget Luna and Artemis, the talking cats." Rai proudly said.

"All right. You've proved my secret. So what's yours?" Mallory asked.

"Well….that would be that I am a Saiyan prince. I know, what the hell is a saiyan?" Rai was terrified of what Mallory was going to think or say. "It was a warrior race that was predominately male. I remember Gohan telling me that while there were about a hundred billion males, there were at least two billion females. So males also had reproductive organs, which were only active during the males' first heat and the full moon, although sometimes, it would be affected by both. But the planet, Vegetasei, was destroyed by Frieza, who took my father in before blowing it up."

"That's horrible." Mallory said feeling really upset.

"Yeah," Rai stated not really knowing how it feels.

"I mean that's worse than us. Serena probably already told you."

"Sure, whatever…" Rai trailed off trying to figure out what it was.

"Continue." Mallory said as she leaned on him again.

"My father, Vegeta, came to Earth wanting to do something. Gohan said that most of that was really fuzzy. My mother is Bulma Briefs, as in the head of Capsule Corporation," Rai was afraid of what his new friend would think at that point.

Mallory sensed his distrust, although she wasn't sure how she knew that. "So? I don't care who your family is."

"Good. I'm not from this timeline." Rai was curious to how she would react.

"That's really weird. So then you already knew Setsuna?"

"Technically yes and no. Yes she allowed me to travel between timelines, and no, because I had no idea at the time that was her." Rai was happy that Mallory wasn't terrified by this, but he knew that she was mostly likely going to be.

"Wow…" Mallory said as she trailed off.

"So I grew up where the androids, Seventeen and Eighteen, killed everyone that wasn't hiding underground. When I was thirteen, I went into my first heat." Rai thought that he should explain that a little better. "Heat is when you're supposed to pick a mate. You know someone you're going to be with for life, which in saiyan terms is normally about 125 to 150 years. Although most of the time, your first heat is done all by yourself." He paused again. Rai was scared of telling the next part to his story because he didn't want her to judge him. "I had already been with Gohan for a year, granted at the time he was twenty-five years old. But in saiyan terms, that really didn't matter because he didn't look a day over twenty. That night we mated to each other. I'll save you those details." Rai laughed a little. He didn't think anyone needed to hear how saiyans mated to each other. "The next day, precisely that afternoon, the androids attacked, and Gohan knocked me out. At the time I didn't know why, but I soon found out that I was pregnant." Rai said glad that he had got that part out.

"What happened to Gohan?" Mallory asked fearing that Gohan had died.

Cliffy! Review and find out!
