Boy Meets Girls
Chapter 7: Daydreams & Nightmares
Part One
------------------------------


"Sailor Moon, look out!" Sailor Mars yelled at her

The monster launched itself towards Sailor Moon as it tried to bite her 
with its long fangs. Sailor Moon dodged the bite and rolled back to 
safety. Sailor Venus and Jupiter then made a combine attack on their 
opponent, a yellow beam surrounded by electricity struck the creature 
sending it back against a wall. 

[These girls are getting better each day.] Trunks thought as he watched 
them from the shadows.

He stood there hidden on top of a building dressed in his Super 
Saiya-man 
costume. When he finished dressing up ready to face the creature the 
Senshi were already taking care of it. He didn't interfere however, the 
Senshi *were* after all the protectress of Tokyo, they were learning to 
team up and take care of their enemies using a more strategic approach. 
Trunks looked after them during each battle of course, he didn't have to 
interfere as often as before though, they were all improving 
considerably 
with each challenge that appeared and didn't needed his help as much as 
before. That didn't made Trunks feel left out, on the contrary, it was 
nice to see them take care of themselves, self-improvement was of great 
importance for a warrior, that's something well known back at home.

The monster held his shoulder in pain. That last attack from Sailor 
Jupiter and Venus hurt like hell, if things kept going like this it's 
enemies would defeat it promptly, it was time to change the score board. 
If this didn't took care of them, it would be the end.
The Senshi saw their foe open its mouth wide, a glowing light started to 
come out of it's throat.

"What the...?" asked Sailor Mercury

Trunks saw as the creature prepared his desperation attack

[A breath weapon?] he thought [I think I'll have to interfere after 
all.]

The light from it's mouth became brighter to the point were the Senshi 
couldn't look directly to their opponent. 
It's adversaries were stunt by the light, it was time to shoot the 
blast, 
this last attack would use most of it's energy and would leave it mostly 
defenseless after that. But if they were distroyed by the blast it would 
have nothing to worry about.

A huge pink bast was shot from it's mouth, the blast was big enough to 
dispose of the five Senshi at once. The girls held their arm in front of 
their faces, there was nothing else they could do, the bolt was too big 
to 
avoid. And then nothing............ nothing????
They could still sense the bright light but the blast didn't made 
contact 
with them.
Sailor Venus was the first to open her eyes to see what happened. What 
she 
saw was Super Saiya-man in front of them with both of his arms extended 
forwards, stopping the blast with his bare hands. The pressure began to 
slowly push him back towards them.

"Super Saiya-man!" she shouted, all the other Senshi opened their eyes 
at 
that moment noticing their savior as well.

The attack was indeed powerful as Trunks' hands felt it, it certainly 
wasn't a ki blast but could be handled as well as one. His hands started 
forming a yellow aura around them to drive back the bolt to it's 
rightful 
owner. With a large yell from Trunks' mouth, the blast was sent back to 
the monster. The creature was too surprised by such turn of events that 
it 
didn't even had time to take cover. The blow sent it right against the 
wall AGAIN.

The Senshi observed the show, no matter how many time Super Saiya-man 
came 
to their rescue, it always was amazing to see him in action.

"Thank you for saving us!" Sailor Moon said to him

"Thank me later," he responded "it's not dead yet. You still have to 
finish it off."

"Right!" she replied, she took her scepter (from who knows were) and 
began 
to wave it around to launch her attack (Have you ever asked yourselves, 
how come the enemy never runs away while Sailor Moon does all those 
moves? 
They sure have time to do it).
The monster stood up clumsily, the blast wasn't as powerful after all, 
it 
might of lost part of its strength while being returned. Unfortunately, 
it 
left the creature wide open for Sailor Moon's attack. It slowly began to 
turn into dust as it's life was extinguished.

Trunks stood there for a moment and looked at his hands. No harm was 
done, 
it was time to leave, the job was done. He began to walk away when 
suddenly Sailor Mars' hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Wait!" she told him "We have some questions to ask you."

"Questions?" he asked, he really wasn't fond of questions as his latest 
experiences with his friends proved it. "What kind of questions?"

"Well for starters," she began "how about telling us, where you come 
from? 
You're not from this planet, I think that's obvious"

"Well I think you're right." he sarcastically replied trying to avoid 
the 
question.

"Don't play with me!" she said angry "Tell us who you are."

"Sailor Mars!" Sailor Venus told her "Don't be so rude, he saved us 
remember!" as she began to snuggle up to Super Saiya-man.

[Oh no, not again.] Trunks thought as Sailor Venus started to approach 
him. [Ever since I showed up she's been sticking on me like glue.]

"Well?" Sailor Mars asked again "Can you give us an answer?"

"If I told you my identity..." Trunks began pulling a grin "You would 
have 
to do the same thing." as he approached Sailor Mars trying to emphasize 
to 
whom the answer was directed to.

Rei stood there speechless. He had a point. That only helped in 
increasing 
her frustration.

"That...that's not the point!" she stated a little nervous for having 
him 
so close

"Then what is your point?" he asked. For once *he* was making the 
questions and taking control of the conversation. He felt pretty sure of 
himself this time, he knew he had the advantage.

"I think what she's trying to say," Sailor Mercury interrupted "is that 
ever since those monsters have been showing up so have you."

"Are you trying to say that you think I'm involved in all of this?" He 
asked 

"We don't want you to take this the wrong way," Sailor Jupiter continued 
"you've helped us a lot lately and we really appreciate that. But we 
don't 
know a thing about you. That's why we'd like to know more."

Trunks turned towards Sailor Jupiter; she was different from the others 
somehow. He couldn't tell why exactly, maybe because she was the only 
Senshi that used martial arts during combat, the others seem to rely 
more 
on their special powers. Anyhow, he felt more comfortable around her 
than 
Sailor Venus or Mars.

"I see..." he said to her "But I for one don't think that I'm involved 
with those monsters, otherwise I wouldn't be helping you."

"Then why do you help us?" she asked again "What are your motives?"

"I think my motives are the same as yours." he responded as he began to 
levitate and leave.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Sailor Jupiter asked him 

"Don't worry." he told her "We shall meet again. Maybe then I'll be able 
to give you some straight answers [Although I doubt that]." he then flew 
out of sight.

The Senshi remained there as they saw him leave. Rei was still feeling 
distrustful towards Super Saiya-man but couldn't justify her reasons to 
her friends. Sailor Venus approached her with an angry look on her face.

"Nice going Rei!" she told her "You sure have your way with guys!"

"What does THAT mean?" she asked in a very offended tone of voice

"You almost turned him against us!" she explained still quite mad "If it 
wasn't for Mako-chan's fast thinking we might never see him again. Maybe 
you should stop being such a paranoid, that might help you getting a 
boyfriend one of these years!"

"Well that's some heck of a good advice coming from a bimbo like you!" 
she 
responded even angrier than before "The only thing that matter to you is 
being close to him, not even doubting if he really is on our side. Some 
Senshi *you* turned out to be *Sailor V*"

"Calm down you two!" Mercury declared putting an end to the discussion 
"There's no point in blaming each other. We might as well leave too, 
there's nothing else to do here."

Both Sailor Venus and Mars turned there back on each other, if Ami 
wouldn't have interfered it would've ended up in a cat fight. They 
didn't 
say a word to each other for the rest of the day.


				***


She was in a dark room. She could hear her own steps each time her high 
heels touched the ground, although she couldn't see anything she 
supposed 
she was on a large room judging from the echo.
Suddenly, another pair of steps joined hers. Sailor Mars stopped walking 
trying to find out from where the noise came, the echo in the room 
didn't 
made that easy but she supposed that the other person was walking 
towards 
her. The steps came closer and closer and a human form started appearing 
in front of her. Sailor Mars stood there in fear.

"Who's there??" she shouted. No answer.

The steps were getting closer by the moment. Sailor Mars was getting 
more 
nervous by each step the person took.

"Show yourself!!" she shouted again. The walking stopped.

She didn't knew if she did well. She still couldn't make out who was in 
front of her but whoever he was he wasn't moving anymore. She couldn't 
even hear him breath, unlike her who was panting from fear. Her heart 
was 
beating like a wild drum when suddenly a spot light appeared exactly 
upon 
her. She yelped in surprise. The person in front of her was right out of 
the spotlight but walked inside to join Sailor Mars once she regain 
composure.

"Super Saiya-man!" she said in surprise.

Super Saiya-man stood there with an evil grin on his face until he 
decided 
to break the ice.

"Nice to see you again... Rei." he calmly said

"Hun?? How do you know I'm..." she asked surprised

"I know all about you Rei Hino." he interrupted "I've had my eye on you 
for quite a while."


"What do you want?" she asked in a threatening tone of voice although it 
showed more fear than threat. Super Saiya-man only smile to the 
insignificant warning.

"I want you." he spoke as he approached her.

"Wh... What??" she asked while stepping backwards but suddenly found 
herself against a wall (which wasn't there before by the way.)

"Stop acting surprised." he told her "I know you like me."

"Stand back!!" she warned "I don't know what the hell you're talking 
about!" Super Saiya-man stopped walking towards her.

"Why do you fear me?" he asked "I don't want to hurt you... I only want 
to be with you."

"Come on Rei!" spoke a very familiar voice that came from her left side 
"Go for it!"

A spot light appeared right where the voice came. Rei saw Sailor Moon 
being carried in Tuxedo-Kamen's arms.

"You know you want him." she told her "Believe me, it feels great!" she 
began to kiss Tuxedo-Kamen passionately.

"She's right you know." said another familiar voice from her right side.

Another spotlight appeared from where the voice appeared and Rei could 
see 
Makoto and Trunks. Makoto was holding Trunks by the arm while resting 
her 
head on his shoulder.

"There's nothing wrong with liking him." she proceeded "And it'll prove 
Minako she was wrong. You're not going to let her get away with what she 
told you today, are you?"

Both of the spotlights went off leaving Rei alone with Super Saiya-man 
once again. She noticed that he was even closer to her this time.

"There's no point in hiding it anymore." he claimed as he started to 
caress her face "You're such a beautiful girl, you'll see there's 
nothing to fear."

Rei felt his warm hand caressing her cheek. She stood there motionless 
with a mixture of fear and desire. Her instinct told her to run away but 
she couldn't get her body to respond. Super Saiya-man started kissing 
her 
in the mouth, his arms holding her waist. Rei couldn't move or offer any 
resistance for that matter. He was quite a good kisser.

"No... Minako... she..." Rei tried to say between kisses

"I don't give a damn about her!" He interrupted her "Especially after 
the 
way she insulted you. You're the one I want!"

Rei's mind was going wild. Her brain told her that something was 
terribly 
wrong but her body had a mind of its own. Super Saiya-man started to 
kiss 
her on the neck when he suddenly began to laugh. His gentle grip was 
immediately replaced by an iron grasp. Rei found herself caught between 
his arms. He began to laugh even more until his depraved cackle echoed 
all over the room. His eyes started glowing red. Rei tried to kick her 
way 
free but it didn't work, it was like kicking at stone. Super Saiya-man's 
teeth began to grow along with the rest of his body, his facial lines 
started shaping into something monstrous. His clothes began to rip. The 
maniacal laughter was soon replaced by a growl... and suddenly, Rei 
found 
herself in the palm of a giant ape with red eyes and an evil expression 
on 
it's monstrous face. Another laugh was now heard in the background, it 
was 
from a woman, from Minako.
Rei stood there completely terrorized, the monster held her in his paw 
and 
approached her to it's mouth..... and devoured her.


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" she yelled as she woke 
up.

A dream... It was all just a dream but her heart was beating like hell. 
She turned on the lights and went to the bathroom to wash the sweat out 
of 
her face. She tried to calm herself down. What on earth was that all 
about??



				***


Trunks tried to maintain his balance as Makoto gave him another bag to 
carry. He still couldn't believe that Minako and her could still find so 
many things to buy, they've been shopping for two hours now and they 
always 
found something that caught there attention. So far, Trunks had to carry 
all their packages. He couldn't even see which way he was walking, 
Minako 
and Makoto had to guide him.

"Wow! Mako-chan look at that!" Minako told her pointing at a counter 

"Oh my God! It's beautiful, let's go inside!" she said "Trunks-kun, this 
will only take a minute, we'll be right back."

" Yeah whatever..." he responded [This is almost as boring as 
school.]

Tiered of looking at nothing but the boxes in front of his eyes, Trunks 
watched around the mall for something different. His eyes stopped at a 
toy 
store where they were selling the Sailor Senshi action figures and the 
NEW 
Super Saiya-man doll >>>with sword included<<<. Trunks looked closely at 
the doll and pulled a grin on his face.

[Looks like I'm famous!] he thought [So this is what Mako-chan meant a 
few 
weeks ago about turning into a commercial object.  It even 
resembles me.]


Moments later, Makoto and Minako came out of the store with yet 
*another* 
package for Trunks to carry. They resumed walking after that. After 
spotting a certain shop, Minako looked at Makoto with a devilish look on 
her face, Makoto responded with the same devilish look. They guided 
Trunks 
(who wasn't able to see what store it was due to the enormous quantity 
of 
boxes he held) inside the store to accompany them. Once inside, Trunks 
could only hear them talk.

"So what do you think about this one?"

"I don't know... How about this one instead"

"This one?"

"Yeah, isn't it cute?"

"Well I don't know, I kind of liked it better in red."

"Black suites you better than red."

"You really think so?"

Meanwhile, Trunks was still standing there, admiring the "interesting" 
set of packages that displayed in front of his eyes, he was practically 
caring a wall of boxes. How could women buy so much?? They'll possibly 
only use half of it and forget about the rest!

"Hey Trunks-kun!" Makoto said "We need a man's opinion, can you give us 
a 
hand?"

"Sure. [It's better than looking at all of these boxes]" he responded 
"I'll just put these somewhere else." as he put the packages on the 
floor.

As soon as the boxes were laid on the floor he turned towards Makoto. He 
was quite surprised when he saw her holding a black silk bra in front of 
him. That's when it hit him. He was in a lingerie shop!! The place in 
anime forbidden to men!!

"Where.....Where...." he asked "WHERE ON EARTH DID YOU BRING ME??"

Timing would probably be Trunks worst enemy, because at that precise 
moment, Usagi and Ami were passing next to the store.

"Oh my!" Ami exclaimed "Isn't that Trunks over there?"

"Yeah, it is him!" Usagi responded "What is he doing in a lingerie 
store??"

"Oh my God! Look at what Mako-chan is showing him!" she pointed out to 
the 
black silk bra (which was very reveling I must add!)

"A bra??" Usagi asked "You don't think that they've already..."


Trunks stood there paralyzed, all the women at the shop were staring at 
him with that *What is this pervert doing in here?* look on there faces 
except for Makoto and Minako who were laughing their lungs out. It was 
funny 
to tease him once in a while. Usagi and Ami walked next to him giving 
him 
the same guilty look.

"Trunks! WHAT are you doing here???" Usagi asked him

"Do you want people to think you're a pervert??" Ami added

"But I... but I... but I... but I..." he tried to explain "I didn't... I 
mean... they were... I mean... both of them..."

"There, there Trunks." Minako said patting him on the shoulder once she 
stopped laughing "It was only a joke. Nothing to get upset about."

"Some joke!" he replied a little angry 

"We're sorry, okay?" Minako told him "But there is something you haven't 
told us."

"What is it?" 

"You never told us which one looked better!" she said pointing out at 
two 
bras Makoto was holding. Trunks began to blush.

"HOW SHOULD I KNOW???" he yelled


After that little scene at the lingerie store, Trunks and the four girls 
walked towards Hikawa temple to meet with Rei. Trunks was now caring 
Ami's and Usagi's stuff as well as Makoto's and Minako's. His bad temper 
finally cooled away, he was happy enough to get out of that mall from 
hell. Once at the temple, they saw Rei sweeping the floor with a broom.

"Hi guys!" she said, she then noticed a familiar pair of legs under a 
pile 
of packages "Is that Trunks over there?"

"Hi Rei..." said a voice underneath the boxes

"Hi Trunks." she answered "Why don't you go and put all that stuff over 
there, you must be dead tiered."

Trunks went at the back of the temple to leave all of the girls' stuff. 
Meanwhile, back with the girls, Rei and Minako were still upset about 
yesterday's insults, they weren't talking to each other.

"Come on you girls." Usagi insisted "Couldn't you just forget about 
yesterday?" 

"I'm not the one who's mad!" Rei replied in a tone of voice that prove 
the 
exact opposite.

"Neither am I!" Minako added with the same tone of voice, they weren't 
even looking at each other.

"Why don't you join us shopping Rei?" Ami asked her "It'll give both of 
you a chance to work things through."

"Sorry." she said "Even if I wanted to join you girls and miss Aino here 
(pointing at Minako), I have to take care of my little cousin, I 
couldn't 
find a baby-sitter."

"Your aunt should've left his kid with the wolves," Minako replied "They 
would've done a better job of taking care of him than you."

"Who asked you??" Rei told her in a more menacing voice

"Come on girls stop that!" Makoto insisted "It's not like you two to be 
so 
mad at each other."

"I'm willing to forgive miss Aino only if she gives me a formal apology 
for what she said to me yesterday." Rei replied

"Well you can tell miss Hino that I won't say I'm sorry until she does 
first." Minako declared. Both of them once again turned their back on 
each other.

"Humph!" was Rei's only answer as she once again decided to ignore her. 
Minako did the same thing. The rest of the girls were still trying to 
solve this little problem until Ami noticed something.

"By the way," she said "where is Trunks?" 

Everyone looked around noticing that Trunks didn't came back after 
leaving 
the packages. The five of them headed inside the temple and saw him 
joyfully playing with a little baby. The boy was pulling Trunks' hair as 
he giggled. Trunks held him and gently pock him in the stomach causing 
him 
to laugh even more (It was one of those Kodak moments).

"Hey Rei." he said to her "Who is this little boy?"

"He's Tetsuo," she told him as she finally smiled "he's my little 
cousin, 
he's here for the weekend."

"Oh he's so *cute*!!" Usagi stated as she went to him and took him in 
her 
arms. The baby began to cry the moment she held him.

"Here, let me hold him." Makoto insisted "Maybe you're scaring him."

The baby continued to cry even if Makoto carried him. Everyone tried to 
calm him down by turns but the little boy didn't stop crying. He even 
cried when Rei held him.

"Here, give him to me." Trunks said to Rei who was the last one in 
holding 
him. Tetsuo stopped crying when Trunks held him once again. He grabbed 
his 
purple hair with one hand and began to suck the thumb from his other 
hand. 
The girls looked at both of them.

"You're actually good at this." Ami brought out "Have you done this 
before?"

"Not really." he answered. They all went outside afterwards, Trunks was 
still playing with Tetsuo.

"So Rei," Usagi began "are you sure you don't want to come with us, 
there's this new shop that just opened and there's some really neat 
stuff." Trunks looked at her with a terrorized expression.

[More shopping??] he thought [Don't these girls ever stop???]

"Sorry." she said "But I have to stay here and take care of my cousin."

"I know!" Trunks interrupted "I can take care of him for the rest of the 
day if you want to. [It's better than going shopping again!]"

"Well... I don't know..." Rei told him "I wouldn't want to ruin the rest 
of your day being stuck with Tetsuo."

"It's no problem at all!" he insisted "I always wanted a baby brother, 
even if it's only for a day. [And besides, if I see another shop I'll go 
crazy!]"

"Are you sure you're up to this?" Ami asked him "It may not be as simple 
as you think."

"Don't worry! [I prefer taking my chances with him.]" he replied "You 
can 
pick him up at my place when you're done shopping. He won't be a trouble 
at all, isn't that right Tetsuo?"

"Well, all right then." Rei said "I'll go get all the stuff you'll need 
for him."


Moments later, all seven left the temple. Trunks was pushing Tetsuo on a 
little stroller while caring a bag with dippers, talcum powder, milk 
bottles and stuff like that. Minako and Rei were still turning their 
back 
on each other not saying a word. Makoto was walking next to Trunks with 
her arm wrapped around his (as usual).

"You know guys..." Usagi told Makoto and Trunks "Watching both of you 
together like that with Tetsuo makes you look like a married couple."

Both of them stopped walking. Trunks took a look at Makoto and Tetsuo. 
Usagi was right, it was quite a picture. Makoto was smiling at that 
amusing remark from her friend. As a matter of fact everyone was smiling 
as they gazed upon the couple except Trunks who was blushing.

"Don't be ridiculous!" he spoke trying to hide his nervousness

"Look at him. He's bluuuuushiiiiiing!" Usagi pointed out making fun of 
him

"I am NOT blushing!!" he stated "Didn't you girls had enough fun at my 
expenses after what happened at the lingerie shop!!"

All the girls couldn't contained themselves from laughing. They very 
well 
knew that Trunks liked Makoto even if he didn't admitted that in public 
(or to himself for that matter). The girls knew that he was too shy to 
tell her directly, but they managed to accept that as part of Trunks' 
personality. 
Makoto looked at him. He really was cute with Tetsuo at his side, he 
even 
resembled him a little. By the way he treated him he'll probably be an 
excelent father one of these days. And then her daydream began...

She was dressed in elegant vestments, just like a princess, sitting in a 
vast field covered with flowers. A bird settled on her shoulder and she 
began to feed it with some seeds (picture your typical Walt Disney 
scene). 
Someone approached her on a horse. It was Trunks dressed in a shining 
full plate and a red cape while riding a beautiful white horse. Makoto 
looked at him with big dreamy eyes, her lover extended his hand helping 
her to get on the steed. She sat right in front of him face to face, 
Trunks held her by the waist with one hand while holding the horse rein 
with the other. Makoto had her arms around his neck as the horse ran 
through the field. There faces where inches apart from one another until 
Trunks kissed her passionately.

"I love Mako-chan," he said to her "I want to be with you forever."

"Oh Trunks-kun..." she told him "I'm so happy!"

"Sorry I took so long to notice it," he continued "I was an idiot for 
not 
understanding how you felt for me."

"Don't say that..." she gently spoke "You're here and that's the only 
thing that matters..."

"I never want to leave you Mako-chan" he affirmed "I want to start a 
life 
with you! I want you to be the mother of my children and live happily 
ever after..."

She looked deep into his eyes, she knew he was serious and that he would 
never abandon her. She started kissing him again as they still traveled 
through the endless field of flowers.
