It was mid afternoon and very cloudy. Wind blew leaves off the trees and a certain priestess would have a lot of work to do, if she hadn't gotten a call from her best friend requesting to see her immediately.
"What did you want to see me for, Usagi?" Rei asked sitting on the shrine steps with her friend. A very concerned look was on her face.
Usagi gulped. "I want you to come with me," She paused trying to stop her voice from shaking. "It's very important."
Usagi walked down many streets in the city with Rei following, unsure of where her friend was taking her. She trusted her though, even if she couldn't help feeling slightly nervous. Why couldn't Usagi tell her? Turning on to a particular street, Rei realized where they were going. "Usagi, why are you taking me to Mamoru's house?"
"Just come." Usagi ordered not even making eye contact. Then reached his apartment building and took the elevator. When they got to his apartment, Usagi knocked on the door quietly.
After a few seconds, Mamoru answered. "Usagi? Rei? What are you two doing here?"
"Usagi wouldn't tell me either." Rei replied sounding impatient.
Usagi swallowed. "Look, I know you two like each other a lot."
Rei and Mamoru looked at each other. Both of their faces were a crimson shade of red. This was probably the most awkward situation of their entire lives.
"Look Usako…" Mamoru began but was cut off.
"No," Usagi interrupted. "You two have been the most loyal to me through out the years, and I don't care about destiny anymore." Tears started to roll down Usagi's cheeks. "You two should be together. It's only right! I won't have it any other way. Mamoru, you were a great boyfriend, and Rei, you're the best friend anyone could ever have." She spoke so fast wanting to get it over with. "I'm going to go now." Usagi began to walk away.
"Usako wait!" Mamoru called after her. Rei stood behind him, her face still the color of crimson.
Usagi turned around, tears streaming down her face, but she was smiling. "I'll be ok." Usagi then ran to Mamoru and embraced him tightly. "Take care of Rei."
"Can't we talk about this?" Rei asked not believing the situation at all.
Usagi looked at her, and then gave her a hug. "No Rei-chan, I've been in the way long enough. You two will be the perfect couple!"
Usagi let her friend go and looked at both Mamoru and Rei. "You two need some alone time." Usagi smiled. "And you better behave yourself today or I shall punish you both!" She winked.
Usagi turned and walked away from her two friends leaving them both standing there with crimson faces. Once she exited the building, she broke out into sobs even though she knew she had done the right thing. Usagi then took off running incase Rei or Mamoru decided to come after her.
She didn't stop once until she reached her street as she ran. By then her tears were mostly dry but her eyes were still a little puffy. Usagi slowed her pace down to a walk as she neared her house.
"Usagi!" A voice called.
Usagi knew who it was and was actually happy to see him despite the situation. "Hi Trunks."
Trunks ran up and faced her. He noticed her puffy eyes. "Why were you crying?"
"Oh, me and Mamoru broke up." Usagi replied feeling more tears.
Trunks frowned. "He wasn't good enough for you anyway."
"No," Usagi disagreed. "Actually, it's the other way around, I wasn't good enough for him."
Trunks now looked angry. "Did he tell you that! I'll go beat him up for you!"
"No!" Usagi screeched holding Trunks back, as he was about fly away. "I was the one who broke up with him!"
"Oh," Trunks stated. "Come back to my house, I'll get you something to drink."
Usagi smiled and followed Trunks back to Capsule Corp. She couldn't help feeling that it was a bad idea though. He led Usagi to the kitchen.
"Is this ok?" Trunks held up a can of grape juice. "It's the only thing we have besides energy drinks."
"That's fine." Usagi smiled. She sat in her seat drinking her juice quietly and Trunks just watched sitting in the chair across from her. It was making Usagi a little uncomfortable. "Don't you want anything to drink?" She asked breaking the awkward silence.
"No," Trunks answered. "I'm not thirsty."
Usagi looked at him and made eye contact. She immediately blushed. There was something so familiar about him that is was driving her crazy. Her mind was suddenly split into two sides. One screaming at her to stop! Look away! And the other screaming, no! Keep going! It'll work out! She thought about what she had imagined at Mamoru's house the day before and slowly began to lean towards him. Trunks did the same towards Usagi.
"You know we shouldn't." Usagi said her eyes in a trance.
"I don't care." Trunks replied with no intention of stopping.
There lips were only about an inch apart when…"Hi Trunks!" Bulma's voice greeted right before she looked into the massive kitchen. She was carrying a large over filled box.
Usagi pulled back and jumped back into her chair. Her face was as white as a ghost and her entire body was shaking. She knew she was in big trouble.
"Hi Mom!" Trunks greeted as though nothing out of the ordinary was happening. "Usa-chan was just going to tell me a really cool secret!"
"Oh!" Bulma looked amused. "Sorry for startling you."
It felt as though a major weight was lifted off of Usagi's chest at that moment. She owed Trunks big time now. "It's ok Bulma-san." Usagi replied trying to sound natural.
"I almost forgot, there are some snacks in the…" Bulma went to point her finger and took one arm off of the box she was holding. The box toppled over and many photographs spilled all over the floor.
Usagi jumped up as though an instinct had kicked in. She rushed over and began picking up various pictures.
"Thanks for the help." Bulma laughed grabbing various pictures. "I don't know why I'm so clumsy today."
"Whose that." Usagi pointed to a guy with black hair in one of the pictures.
Bulma blushed. "That was my old boyfriend Yamcha."
"He's kinda cute!" Usagi giggled and threw the picture back into the box.
"You wouldn't think that if you dated him!" Bulma informed frowning.
Usagi moved on to another picture. "Awe! Is this Gohan when he was little!"
Bulma nodded.
"He was so cute!" Usagi squealed. "If only I could show this to Minako."
"You can have it if you want." Bulma offered. "I have plenty of pictures of him."
"Thanks!" Usagi stuck the picture into her pocket. Her mind was completely off her break up now.
Then, she came across a picture that made her insides sink.
"Uh, Bulma?" Usagi's voice quivered. "Who's this?"

A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update! I had this chapter written a long time ago, but I accidentally deleted it. I got so mad about that, and this story went on hiatus. I'm back now! Hope you enjoyed this chapter although I may rewrite it since I'm not sure I'm happy with how it turned out. I tried my best not to make it disturbing. Don't worry, no where in this story will she give Trunks a passionate kiss while he's still a little kid.
