Usagi lay in her bed for most of the morning. Her emotions had been uncontrollable for the past day and a half. She couldn't get Trunks off her mind. No matter how angry she was at him, she just couldn't make herself hate him. In fact, she really wanted to go see him and apologize for her behavior from the previous day. She did act a little to harshly. She didn't want to do anything at that moment because she was still a little mad at him.
Having a relationship with him right now would be absolutely wrong. Yet, he was her lover in her past life and Trunks was very mature. After much thought, she decided the answer would be no. No matter how mature he was, he was still a nine-year-old. But someday it would be ok. She began to count the years until it would be.
'Well, I guess I can wait, it won't be so bad.' Usagi decided.
---------------------------------------
Gohan was impressed at how well the girls were doing on their first flying lesson. Both had managed to get themselves up into the air, but they still needed a lot of practice. He couldn't help but notice that Videl looked a little anxious, but she still managed to fly, even if it wasn't really that good.
He was most surprised by his little brother Goten who had managed to fly on the first try. But then again, he could become a Super Saiya-jin at only eight years old.
"Ok, that's good enough for today." Gohan decided. "You girls need to rest."
Minako landed on the ground very roughly. "I'll see you in school tomorrow then." She then turned and winked at Videl. Before the two of them had gotten to Gohan's house after school that day, Minako made her promise to call her and tell her how it went. "I'll take Goten home."
"That's ok, you don't have to…" Gohan began but Minako had already grabbed his little brother's hand and was running back to his house. Gohan laughed as he watched her run.
As soon as Minako was out of sight, Videl approached Gohan already blushing. She didn't know how she was ever going to get through this. "Gohan, can we talk?"
Gohan turned to look at the black haired girl. "Sure, what is it?"
Videl was blushing intensely. She nearly forgot what she was even doing. "Um you see… um I…um…" Videl stumbled through her words. Darn it! What was it Minako had told her to say again? It felt like she had been going on for hours.
Gohan looked at her concerned. "Are you ok? You look a little sick." He started to walk towards her.
"I love you!" She blurted out and quickly covered her mouth her face turning crimson. That wasn't exactly what she was supposed to say.
Gohan looked at her with a shocked expression on his face. There was a long moment of silence before he finally spoke.
"Look Videl, you're really nice, and I like you a lot but..." Gohan began feeling very uncomfortable as he was about to deliver the painful truth. "I'm in love someone else."
It felt like something very delicate had just shattered inside of Videl. Her eyes welled up with tears. "It's Minako, isn't it?"
Gohan nodded. "Look I'm really sorry…"
"Don't be." Videl interrupted looking down at her feet. "Deep down, I always knew." She paused and then looked at Gohan. "You should tell her."
"I don't know if I'm her type though." Gohan spoke blushing.
"Trust me, she has feelings for you too." Videl assured. "Yesterday, she told me she didn't, but I could tell by her expression that she does."
Gohan walked up to Videl and hugged her and she hugged back.
"I better go now." Videl said with disappointment on her face. "And you better tell Minako how you feel soon."
"I will." Gohan smiled but still looked sympathetic.
Videl turned and walked away. When Gohan was far out of sight, the tears began to flow freely down her face.

Usagi headed to Capsule Corp later that day. She wanted answers if anything. Earlier, she called Trunks to let him know that she was coming. He was already waiting in front of the building when she arrived.
Trunks looked up at her. "What did you want to talk about?" His voice sounded nervous.
Usagi sat down on the ground and Trunks did the same. "How long did you know?"
Trunks breathed heavily. "Remember that night when you baby sat me, and I flew into the door to the training room? I had a dream when I was knocked out."
Usagi frowned. "You told me you were faking it." But then, a realization came over her. "Oh, you must have had that dream when I healed you with the silver crystal."
Trunks nodded. "When I went to bed that night, I had another dream and the entire memory of my past life came back. So I sent one of mine to you hoping you would remember."
"And I had a dream about it the next day." Usagi finished then her face fell once she remembered one of the dreams. "Hey, does that mean you even sent me the nasty one! You're way too young to know about that stuff!"
Trunks was taken a back. "Hey come on, I told you I recovered all of my memories!"
Usagi shrugged but was still disgusted.
"You know, I'm technically a prince now, so we wouldn't have any problems like we did back then." Trunks pointed out.
"Yeah, but now your so much younger than me." Usagi replied and then she sighed. "It's my fault, I remember now. Before I died I wished that you'd be reborn as a prince."
"At least I'm a Saiya-jin prince." Trunks growled imagining himself as some kind of a fairy tale prince.
Usagi giggled. "Yeah I guess that's a good thing."
They both sat in silence for a little while and then Trunks looked at her. "Do you forgive me yet?"
"I think so." Usagi answered quickly and smiled at Trunks. But she was surprised to see him staring intensely forward at an oncoming person. A look of anger was on his face. "Trunks?"
Trunks ignored Usagi and keep staring at the stranger. "What's he doing here!"
Usagi looked at the person and saw that he was a tall boy around her age with a long purple ponytail.

A/N: Before anyone freaks out, I am not taking the easy way out. The whole purpose for this character is to add drama to the situation.
Ah, the middle part of this chapter was so hard to write.
