	Ah, MST review... Always wanted to do one of these neat things. If
I DON'T get a good response, I will STILL write it! Hehehe...
	Since this features characters from several series, some of them
are undeniably out of character and may even have a relationship between
them. All I can say is visit my Church of Crossover Couples at
<http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/thunder/181/ccc.html>. Yes, this is a
stupid way of advertising it, but hey, I want more people to vote.
	Enough rambling, let's start the story!



		MST of "Boy Meets Girls" by Julian Soullard
				Part 8 of 8



	BANG!
	Goku started awake feeling minor pain on his face, wondering what
had disturbed his brief slumber. The answer lay in Cloud's hand;
specifically, the big sword in it.
	"What did you do that for?" Goku whined.
	"You were snoring." Cloud replied simply.
	Ranma observed this with some apprehension, worried about what the
elder super-warrior might do. As much as he hated to admit it, if Goku
lost his temper, the best he could do was to sneak his way out. Much to
his relief, the kind Saiyajin only made a grunt of exasperation.
"Strife, where did you get that sword anyway?"
	"Dimensional pockets." the self-proclaimed ex-SOLDIER replied.
"How else do you think I carried around all those belongings in my
quest?"
	"Figures."
	Hikaru put her two cents in: "Those are very useful, Ranma. You
use it too sometimes, don't you?"
	"Yeah, but not as much as Akane does with that darn mallet of
hers." Ranma said. "Speaking of mallets... I wonder why so many fanfic
writers think it's exclusive to Akane?"
	"Maybe because she uses it most often?" Usagi guessed.
	Ranma shrugged. "I guess that's it. Come to think of it, there are
so many misunderstandings in fanfics of my series..."
	"Such as?"
	"For example, I was trained in Neko-ken *grimace* when I was ten,
but for some reason, many authors think it happenned when I was six.
Another one is that Happosai and Cologne are thought to be three-
hundred-years old."
	Cloud snorted. "Impossible; she's a great-grandmother of a
sixteen-years-old. A woman's fertility lasts only until she's
fifty-years-old or so. Unless their tribe somehow stretch that period,
I don't see how they came up with that."
	Ranma nodded in a rare agreement with the spiky blonde. "Anyway,
it has been specifically stated in her first appearence that her age is
one hundred. Just where do they get these wrong?"
	"Well, nobody is perfect." Goku, the enternal optimist, stated.
	"Hey, the fanfic's back on!" Usagi pointed out. "Now let's see
Trunks get married to Makochan!"
	"Cephiro will freeze over first." Hikaru said.

Usagi: WHAT!?
Hikaru: What did I tell you?
Usagi: No way! How could this writer do that!?

>
>
>It was a normal morning at Juban, you could see several student walking
>to school, stores opening and the usual trafic jam that began around
>7:00 AM. This was indeed an every day routine. Except maybe, by the
>teenage couple that ran like hell through the streets of Tokyo. As a
>matter of fact, one was running, the other was being pulled off her
>feet as she screamed in fear. Most people got used to that. It
>certainly wasn't a normal thing in an every day routine, but nobody
>made any questions.
>
>"TRUUUUNKS!!!!! I CAN'T FEEL MY ARM ANYMORE!!!!" shouted Usagi.
>
>"Don't worry!!! We're almost there!!" he told her.

Hikaru: Tear her arm off!

>
>
>A few hours later, during the school recess, we see Makoto and Trunks 
>sitting by a well known tree where they usually had lunch. No need to 
>describe Trunks' savages ways of eating as it is well known through out
>all of his friends what kind of appetite he has. 

Usagi: The above paragraph is a violation of prose format.

>During the last week, some progress has been seen in this couple. They
>spent a lot of time together, held hands and occasionally exchange
>hugs. It was pretty obvious to all the students that Makoto and Trunks
>were having a "boyfriend-girlfriend" relationship. The only student
>that didn't knew about this was (as a very sad case) Trunks. He might
>be a fast runner, but when it came to love he was slower than a turtle
>without three of it's legs.

Ranma: Somehow, I REALLY doubt that.

>
>Surprisingly, Ami and Usagi weren't with them. The reason was quite
>simple, Luna was having a word with both of them in one of the empty
>classrooms.

Ranma: EEK!!
(Again, Usagi and Hikaru try to cover his eyes at the same time. They
manage to cover one eye each, and other places. They glare at each
other, as usual.)
Ranma: AHRICKGLTISAE!!
Usagi: Oops. (removes her hand from Ranma's mouth)
Hikaru: (doing likewise) Sorry!

>
>"Are you sure about what you're telling us?" Ami asked Luna.
>
>"I'm afraid so." the cat responded "Artemis and I have been
>investigating about the matter. There's no doubt about it now. Super
>Saiya-man is the reason why monsters have been appearing lately."
>
>"Looks like Rei was right all along..." Ami declared. 

Cloud: What do you know, you got it right for once.
Goku: (confused) Got what right?
Cloud: Oh never mind, blockhead.

>
>"I still can't believe that Super Saiya-man is behind all of this."
>Usagi stated "It doesn't make any sense!! There has to be some sort of
>mistake!"
>
>"Sorry, Usagi..." said Luna "We've already checked twice."
>
>"So he was pretending to be on our side the whole time?" Ami asked
>again.
>
>"I don't know about that." Luna explained "The only thing I know for
>sure is that Super Saiya-man isn't from this reality. I don't know how,
>but somehow he managed to enter in this world, and when he did, he
>caused the fissure I told you about a few weeks ago. In other words,
>*he* is the unbalancement that's causing all the trouble."

Hikaru: Another good reason for him to leave.
Usagi: So? Trunks can handle those monsters!

>
>"Minako is really going to have a hard time accepting this." Usagi 
>pointed out "Does Rei and her know what you just told us?"
>
>"Artemis must be telling them now." she answered "I was hopping I could

Cloud: "Hoping" misspelled.

>tell Mako-chan about this, but that's going to a little hard with
>Trunks at her side all the time."
>
>"Don't worry, we'll tell her." said Ami.
>

(The girls remove their hands from Ranma's eyes.)
Ranma: Those cats need to appear less often.

>
>Time went on and school was over for the day, Trunks and Makoto decided
>to go on a *date* (if this word is accurate enough considering the
>strange relationship these two are having).

Ranma: Strange? Other than the fact that Trunks is acting OOC, it's not
very strange.

>There was a fair at the park which arrived yesterday and Makoto
>insisted on going there. Trunks had time to change into his usual
>clothes, which can help us recognize him a mile away considering that
>he's the only person on Earth that uses such a ridiculously short

Usagi: Oh come on, it's not THAT short.

>jacket. The date started fine, Makoto really expected to receive that
>*first kiss* from Trunks that's been delayed for so long now. Having a
>date at the fair might help things a little (yeah right!). 

Hikaru: Well, a Japanese fair is like an amusement park... It's not very
romantic, so not a good choice.

>So far, they went on several rides and participated in several
>contests. Both of them seemed to be having a great time. Ever since
>Trunks met Makoto he's been smiling more oftenly, that was probably one
>of the most notable things that changed in him since he first got here. 

Usagi: See? They DO belong together!
Hikaru: No way. Him and Umi-chan, on the other hand...

>
>"Trunks-kun, look at that!" Makoto told him pointing at a teddy bear 
>displayed on one of the fair games "Isn't it cute?"

Cloud: Yes, so cute in fact, I WANT TO CHOP IT INTO HALF!!
Usagi: Ever considered taking a prozac?

>
>"You like it?" Trunks asked her. Makoto nodded enthusiastically to him, 
>starting to act more like Usagi.

Ranma: How is this like Usagi? Makoto usually acts like this.

>
>Trunks searched into his jacket for his wallet. The game consisted in 
>knocking down a pile of bottles with a soft ball. It was going to be a
>piece of cake. As he began to search in his pockets he suddenly felt
>something which he wasn't sure what it was. He took it out of his
>jacket and looked at it. It was a pillbox. 
>Not just any pillbox, those were the pills he had to give Goku so he 
>wouldn't die from a heart disease. 

Usagi: Uh-oh!
Ranma: He FINALLY remembers his mission.

>
>Several images started appearing in Trunks' mind: Her mother giving him

Cloud: Add a "s" after the apostrophe.
Usagi: And wrong pronoun! Trunks is a guy, you know.
Ranma: Unless he took a trip to Jusenkyo, that is.

>the pills, the androids, the enormous destruction that #17 and #18 did,
>Gohan's body that lied on the floor, dead, as the rain fell on top of
>him...

Usagi: Whoa, don't start getting into details!
Ranma: Actually, it might be a good idea to be descriptive to emphasize
the importance of his mission.

>Makoto noticed how Trunks' smile suddenly fade away as he took the
>pillbox in his hand. Something was wrong and she could feel it.
>
>How could he be so careless??? Here he was, having fun with a cute girl
>when he was supposed to be in another place instead. A place where his 
>intervention was of great importance. A place where his help was
>needed. He never felt so ashamed of himself. After years of training,
>what was he doing? He was in a FAIR!! He couldn't believe it, the
>responsibility of setting things straight in his world lied with him,
>and he was ignoring it. 
>He even forgot about it if he hadn't seen the pillbox to remind him.
>He's been turning his back on the ones that trusted him all this time.

Cloud: That you sure are.
Usagi: (grudgingly) All right, that IS a good reason to leave... but
still...

>
>"Trunks-kun?" Makoto asked a little concerned "Is everything all
>right?"
>
>"No." he told her with a serious tone of voice "Nothing is right." he
>slowly began to walk away from the fair. Makoto followed him.
>
>"Trunks-kun, wait up!!" she said, she managed to reach for his shoulder
>and turned him around so he could face her "What is it? What's wrong?"
>she asked preoccupied.

Hikaru: (Makoto voice) And can I have one of those pretty candies?

>
>Trunks looked at her. He was going to leave and he had to tell her.
>This wasn't going to be easy. But it's been more than a month since he 
>accidentally got here, and he couldn't ignore his mission any longer.
>The fate of his world depended on the pills he held.

Ranma: Actually, Goku can take care of both Freeza and Cold, although
he will die due to the desease. It's his interruption, and thereby
altering the history, is more important, since Gohan is the one who ends
up defeating Cell.

>
>"Mako-chan..." he began "I'll be leaving very soon..."
>
>Makoto stood still for a moment. Deep inside her heart she knew that
>this moment would arrive. She always tried to ignore the fact that
>Trunks might leave her, but that moment finally showed up.

Usagi: *SNIFF* *SNIFF* Oh... This is so sad...
Hikaru: I told you, Trunks, you shouldn't have fallen for her.

>
>"I... I see..." she said heavily "It's been more than a month... You're 
>going home, aren't you?"
>
>"Something like that." Trunks responded, for some reason it was always
>hard for him to lie at her. This case was no exception.

Cloud: He's not going home, he's going to save the world. Same old, same
old.

>
>"What do you mean by that? Where are you leaving?" she asked, it wasn't
>like Trunks to hide something from her.
>
>"I... I can't tell you that." he responded again "The only thing I can
>tell you is that I'm leaving... for good."
>
>Those final words were like gunshots for Makoto's heart.
>
>"So... will I ever see you again?" she asked one more time "Will you
>call me sometimes? Write a letter or something?"

Hikaru: Didn't you hear him? He said he's leaving for good.
Usagi: He can't even get in touch with her... *SNIFF*

>
>"I'm sorry... You won't be hearing from me again." Trunks replied, he
>was making a big effort of looking at her in the eyes.
>
>"What? Why not? Why can't you tell me where you're going???" she
>insisted, her despair grew with each moment. Trunks answers weren't
>very satisfying.

Cloud: Apostrophe needed.

>
>"Makoto, please!" Trunks stated, when he called her Makoto that meant
>things were serious "This isn't easy for me either... I... I want you
>to forget about me."

Usagi: (angrily) Hey, Trunks! That's the worst thing to ask of a girl
who likes you!

>
>This was it. Makoto couldn't believe her own ears. She could feel a
>very familiar sensation, the one she felt each time a boy broke her
>heart. She once thought that might never happen again, but she was
>clearly proved wrong.

Cloud: Well, she should have known better.

>
>"Wh... what?..." she softly asked in shock. If Makoto's heart was made
>out of glass there would be thousands of crystal bits scattered all
>over the floor.
>
>"I want you to forget about me." he repeated "It'll be easier for both
>of us if we forget about each other..."
>
>"How can you even ask me to do that???" Makoto shouted at him, her
>voice showed more pain than anger. Trunks could see tears coming out of
>her eyes. He didn't feel so hot either.
>
>"Makoto try to understand..." he said.

Hikaru: After all, he has very good reasons to leave.
Usagi: So!? That has nothing to do with his horrible request!

>
>"NO!! I don't want to understand!!" she interrupted weeping "Why are
>you telling me this? How do you expect me to forget about you? After
>all we've been through! How do you expect me to act as if you never
>existed???" she began to punch repeatedly Trunks in the chest. Trunks
>didn't move however. After a moment she buried her head in his chest
>and started crying.
>
>"Makoto... I..." he began.
>
>"I really like you, you know that?" she interrupted again as she
>continued to weep "I... I think I'm in love with you..."

Usagi: *SNIFF* You should *SNIFF* have told him sooner, Makochan...
*SNIFF*
Hikaru: What difference would it have made? (notices Ranma looking
solemn) Hey, Ranma! Don't tell me you are being affected by this?
Ranma: Why not? You gotta admit this is very sad...
Goku: Don't worry! With the power of the Dragon Ball, everything will
turn out to be all right!
(Everyone blinks.)
Ranma: You know, I haven't thought of that. Trunks CAN go back to this
universe when his mission is complete...

>
>Now it was Trunks turn to feel the pain. Those words came as a sudden
>blow for him, it was like receiving a stab on the heart. He had to
>leave, his mission had to come before anything else. 
>Even his own happiness? 

Usagi: *HONK* This is getting too serious! Wasn't this supposed to be
a light-hearted crossover?

>It was ironical, he made this trip in time to avoid everyone from his
>world to end up dead and therefore regaining his happiness. And now, he

Ranma: Actually, even if he DOES succeed in everything and defeat Cell,
his dimension's history won't be altered. It's just that the dimension
his other self is in will be saved.
Hikaru: When you think about, he's a very tragic character. He saves not
one but two worlds, but still can't attain happiness... Those qualities
may be the reason of his incredible popularity.

>had to sacrifice his new happiness in order to save his old one. There
>was only one thing that he could tell Makoto.

Cloud: (smirking to Ranma) "I cannot choose, I must have you both!" huh?
Ranma: (grits his teeth) Shut up, you chocobo-head!

>
>"I'm... sorry..." he said, detaching her from his chest and then
>turning his back on her. He didn't have the courage to see her in the
>eyes anymore.
>
>"So am I..." Makoto responded completely shattered. She turned her back
>on him and ran to the opposite direction Trunks was.
>
>The Sayan hybrid took one last look at her as she ran through the fair.
>She was certainly crying. But he didn't had a choice. Boy was he
>feeling like hell at the moment...
>
>"I'm sorry..." he repeated one more time even though Makoto couldn't
>hear him. 

Usagi: You certainly are, you insensitive bozo!
Hikaru: Well, that bit about forgetting him WAS bad.

>
>He began to walk away from the fair.
>
>
>
>Not far away from there, Usagi, Ami, Rei, Minako, Artemis and Luna were 
>walking towards the fair (no, they didn't run into Trunks. Strange

Ranma: ACK!!
(For once, Usagi and Hikaru cover his eyes without starting a fight or
screwing up in the process.)
Ranma: Phew...
Cloud: Meeeeeoooww!
Ranma: AAAARRGGGHHH!!
(Usagi and Hikaru whap the ex-SOLDIER on the head with mallets.)

>isn't it?). Surprisingly, Minako took the news about Super Saiya-man
>quite well. The six of them were searching for Makoto so they could
>tell her the news.
>
>"So what are we supposed to do?" Ami asked Luna "How do we fix this
>problem now that we know who's responsible?"
>
>"Well," Luna began "as long as he's here, monsters will still show up."
>
>"I hope you're not asking us to kill him!" Usagi pointed out "I really
>don't think I could do that, responsible or not for all this mess."
>
>"I don't think that'll be necessary." Artemis informed her "If we can
>send him back to his own reality, the problem will be solved. The
>balance between both worlds will be regained."

Cloud: So HOW do you intend to do that? Sailor Pluto's not here yet.

>
>"And if we do that, those monsters will stop from appearing, right?"
>Rei continued.
>
>"There's an 82% probability that the crack in both worlds will be
>repaired if Super Saiya-man returns to his own reality." Luna
>explained.

Ranma: So there's 1/6th chance that monsters will keep showing up even
after Trunks is gone? What are you going to do if that happens?

>
>"And how do we send him back?" Minako asked.
>
>"That's a little more complicated." Artemis told her "You see, we're
>not sure how he managed to get here in the first place. Our only hopes
>are that Super Saiya-man knows how he made that leap into our world and
>is willing to go back to his own."

Ranma: Gee, is that cat *SHIVER* that optimistic? Isn't this a bit OOC?

>
>"I really do hope he's willing to cooperate." Ami declared "If he's
>not, I don't think we stand a chance against him in battle."

Hikaru: How true.
Usagi: It's not like YOU do!
Hikaru: So? Standing up against a Saiyajin is extremely difficult,
especially those that can go super.

>
>"Somehow I'm quite sure he'll understand." Minako told them "I bet the
>only problem is he doesn't know what kind of trouble he caused..."

Usagi: Isn't this a bit awkward? I mean, this statement is true, but
Minako doesn't know that, so why would she make a comment like this?
Ranma: Maybe because of her crush on Super Saiyaman?
Usagi: Point.

>
>"I really hope you're right." Usagi stated.
>
>"Hey, I think Mako-chan is over there." Rei said pointing out at Makoto
>who was sitting on a bench "Why isn't Trunks with her?....... Wait,
>I... I think she's crying."

Cloud: Well duh, no duh!
Usagi: HEY!
Cloud: (smirks) This is for your earlier remarks.

>
>

Ranma: Okay, the cats are gone again...
Cloud: Meeeeooww!
Ranma: I'm not falling for that twice!

>
>Meanwhile, in another part of Tokyo. Inside an electronic shop to be
>more precise.
>
>"Excuse me sir," Trunks told to one of the guys who worked there "I
>ordered an adapter about a moth ago, I was wondering if it already
>came."

Ranma: (salesman voice) We don't have any adapter ABOUT a moth, boy.
Cloud: Damn, you beat me to the joke.

>
>"Oh yeah, I remember you." the salesman said "You're the boy that
>wanted that fancy adapter, aren't you?"
>
>"Yes that's me." Trunks replied "So, is it here?"
>
>"It's been here for a couple of weeks now," the guy responded "I was 
>wondering if you were ever going to show up and claim it. I thought you 
>need it badly."
>
>"I still do." Trunks explained "I just had a few complications lately.
>Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Usagi: Hey, isn't Trunks being a bit too calm after that scene with
Makochan?

>
>"No need to worry." the guy declared "Since you paid in advance it
>really doesn't matter. Wait here, I'll go and get it." as he left
>behind the counter.

Usagi: Sentence fragment!

>
>
>Around that same time, Makoto was with her friends. After explaining
>them what happened between her and Trunks, everyone was trying to cheer
>her up with no great success.

Ranma: EEEYAAHH!!
(Usagi whips her head as she trys to cover his eyes, and this results in
her left ponytail getting sheared off by Cloud's sword. She notices this
immedeately.)
Cloud: Geeze, your clumsiness is reaching a new level.
Usagi: (holding what is left of her left ponytail) My... My hair...
WAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!
(Usagi's geyser of tears triggers Ranma's transformation, who sees her
distress.)
Ranma: Usagi! Hey, stop crying!
Usagi: BWAAAAAAA... *SNIFF*
Ranma: I will get you some Dragon Whisker Porridge, okay!?
Usagi: *SNIFF* What's that? *SNIFF*
Ranma: It grows your hair really fast. You will have your hair back in
no time at all!
Usagi: (stops crying immedeately) Really?
Ranma: (sighs in relief) Really.
Usagi: Oh thank you Ranma! (glomps Ranma, but is separated by Hikaru and
settles for glaring at her rival)
Hikaru: Ranma? Can I have some of that too?
Ranma: Huh? What for?
Hikaru: (smiles) I want to try a new hairstyle.
Ranma: (blinks) Oookay.
Usagi: No hairstyle in the universe can make you look better!
Hikaru: Look who's talking!
Goku: Um, Ranma?
Ranma: Yeah?
Goku: The cats are still on the screen.
Ranma: GYAAAAAHHH!!
(The girls stop their argument and hastily cover his eyes again.)
Cloud: Figures.

>
>"I'm sorry Mako-chan," Ami said to her "I'd never thought things would
>end up like this..."
>
>"I can't believe Trunks said that!" Minako declared, really pissed off
>"What a jerk!"

Hikaru: He needed to leave, you know.

>
>"Take it easy, Minako." Usagi told her calmly "It won't do her any good 
>bringing that out."
>
>"I just don't get it <sniff>." Makoto said during her weep "Why every
>time I find a decent guy something like this always happens? Am I
>cursed or something? Everything was going so well and suddenly, WHAAM!!
>Out of nowhere he tells me he has to leave and wants me to forget about
>him!! Just what did I do wrong???..... It's not fair..."

Cloud: Yep, it's a curse, an anime-girl-never-getting-her-man curse.

>
>"Don't worry Mako-chan." Rei told her as she held her shoulder 
>affectionately "You'll get over it, you always do. None of this is your 
>fault. You'll find the right guy sooner or later."
>
>"This isn't like those other times." she responded still crying "I
>really liked him... I even told him I loved him... For a moment I
>would've thought he could love me back... Looks like I was wrong. <sob>
>Why did things had to end up this way?"
>
>[Trunks you BASTARD!!] Minako thought. Most of them were disappointed,
>some of them were feeling sad. But not Minako. Minako was enraged.
>[Don't you even think that I'm going to let you walk away just like
>that after hurting my friend!! You owe her an explanation and you're
>going to give it to her, you JERK!!] She began to walk away from the
>group in search of Trunks.

Hikaru: Oh please... He was being perfectly reasonable.
Usagi: No he wasn't! He told her to FORGET about him! That was out of
line!

>
>"Minako?" Usagi asked her "Where are you going?"
>
>"I'll be back in a couple of hours." she said "Wait for me here."
>
>
>After an hour or so, the four remaining girls were still in the fair in
>a desperate attempt to make Makoto feel better. Although she managed to
>stop crying, the tall brunette was far from okay. Luna informed her
>about the Super Saiya-man situation as she tried to distract her from
>her grief. That didn't seem to work either.
>
>"Hey, girls!" Usagi declared in her I'm-always-happy mood "How about
>another spin at the carrousel?"
>
>"Again??" Rei asked annoyed "It's been fourteen times now."
>
>"Don't be such a spoilsport, Rei!" Usagi declared "Mako-chan, you want
>to go back in, don't you?"
>
>"Sure... if you want to..." Makoto said with a lifeless voice.

Cloud: I wonder if she would give the same response if I asked for a
three-way sex?
Usagi: CAN'T YOU GET YOUR MIND OFF SEX AT ALL!?!
Cloud: Nope.

>
><CRASH!!>
>
>"What was that???" Ami asked confused.

Hikaru: It was a sound effect, what else?

>
>Several screams could be herd from the other side of the fair. The four 
>Senshi plus Artemis and Luna ran towards the noise. Many people were
>running in the opposite direction in panic. It was another monster. And
>this one looked mean.

Goku: Are you saying that there are monsters that look nice?

>
>It was some sort of lizard like humanoid. About eight feet tall and was 
>covered with green scales. It's tail was twice as long as it's body,
>and it's claws... well, since it had six arms it definitively had lots
>of claws as well and they really looked sharp enough to make serious
>damage on a human body. Its long teeth weren't half bad either. The
>Senshi really didn't want to know what that thing had for meals,
>because judging by the size of those teethes, it could be anything.
>
>The four girls immediately powered up to confront the monster.
>
>"You there!!" shouted Sailor Moon "Don't even think you'll be hurting
>all these people!" as she began to strike a silly pose "Monsters like
>you have no business in this world! I'm Sailor Moon and I shall punish
>you in the name of the moon!!!"
>

Goku: Fire Soul, just a fireball really.

of their basic attacks, and Moon Princess Halation is Sailor Moon's
scepter shot.

Cloud: Why not just behead her?

Goku: Well, it would be more logical.

think.

Usagi: Nice internal dialogue.
Ranma: And pretty much in character.
Hikaru: But he doesn't have a choice, you know. He HAS to go back.

Usagi: That's the way, Trunks!
Hikaru: What if Makoto asks to go with him?
Ranma: Not happenning; Trunks's time-machine is only for one passenger.

>
>He began to head towards the door when suddenly someone knocked. He

Ranma: Even considering his power level?

>"You really have some nerve! You know that?" Minako told him furious as

>"Come on in".

Usagi: Yeah, go Minako!
Hikaru: What are you saying? Trunks is perfectly justified of his
actions!
Ranma: His reasons for leaving, yes. But not the way he broke the news
to Makoto.
Hikaru: Still, it's not like he did anything wrong.

>

Cloud: "Remembered", not "reminded". And capitalization error.

>
>"Stop acting as if you didn't know!" She said still furious "Just who
>do you think you are? Do you really think you can just walk away after

Cloud: He can't walk away, but he can fly away.

>
>"Minako I..." Trunks began.
>
>"Don't interrupt me while I'm talking!!!!" she shouted back.
>Surprisingly, Trunks obeyed as if he was a little boy being punished "I
>really don't know what's your problem, pal!! But that doesn't mean you

Hikaru: So? She was going to be hurt either way.

>
>"Wait you got it all wrong!" Trunks tried to explain.
>
>"Do you even have the slightest idea of the damage you caused her, you

>
>"Please, let me explain." He tried again. 
>
>"I told you not to interrupt me!!" she shouted again "Mako-chan had
>lots of boyfriends. Did you know that? All of them broke her heart.
>When she met you she thought she'd find the ideal guy. Most of us
>thought that too. It looks like we were all wrong, you no better than

Hikaru: So what are you asking him to do? Stay and keep on betraying his
world?

>
>"Would you give me a chance to explain DAMN IT!!" he finally shouted
>back. This time Minako was the one who shut up. "Do you really think I
>don't feel guilty?? Do you really think it makes happy seeing her like

>
>"Then why are you leaving her like that?" she asked. 
>
>"Because I don't have a choice!!" he stated with a mixture of anger and 
>frustration, although you coudn't tell if he was angry at the blond he
>was talking to or at himself "I don't even want to leave!! I wish I
>could stay... but I can't..."
>
>"And that's why you asked her to *forget* about you?" Minako asked
>again.
>
>"Sometimes I wish we never met." he declared sadly "If that was the
>case I wouldn't miss her so much."

Usagi: WRONG! Being in love and have your have heart broken is better
than never being in love!

>
>"Tell me Trunks..." she asked one more time, her temper finally cooling
>down "Do you love her?"
>
>"I... I don't know..." he answered honestly "I think I do..."

Hikaru: BOO! BOO!
Usagi: Woohoo! Go Trunks!
Ranma: Well, it's yet another nicely done scene of conflict. This fic
has lots of emotional scenes.

>
>At that precise moment, Minako's communicator started bipping. She
>tried to shut it down so Trunks wouldn't overhear. But the house was
>very silent at the moment and you had to be deaf not to notice that
>sound. Trunks soon began to hear Ami's voice coming from Minako's
>pocket.
>
>"Minako?" said the voice "We need your help! A monster just showed up
>at the fair. It's too strong for us, we need Sailor Venus! Minako can
>you hear me??"
>
>Minako didn't had a choice, she took the communicator. "I'll be right
>there." she said.

Cloud: "Have" needs to be in present tense.

>
>Trunks looked at her in astonishment. As said before, Trunks was no
>rocket scientist. But you really had to be the king of idiots if you
>couldn't put the pieces together in this conversation.

Ranma: Trunks IS a rocket scientist! Can't you get it across your head!?

>
>"You're Sailor Venus??" he asked still not believing what he just herd.
>
>"Yes... I am." she stated, there was no point in hiding it now. 

Ranma: After all, it's not like their secret is strictly kept, anyway.

>
>"That means that Sailor Jupiter *is* Mako-chan!! Isn't she??" he
>claimed.
>
>"Hun??" she asked surprised "How... How did you know that??"

Cloud: "Huh" misspelled.

>
>"That doesn't matter now!!" he said "If they're in trouble we have to
>help them!!" he immediately went to his room to get his sword.

Cloud: Capitalize last sentence.

>
>"What are you talking about??" she told him "What do you mean *we*??
>You can't go! You'll get hurt! Maybe even killed!"

Goku: Not a chance.

>
>"If we don't help them..." he explained from the other room "*All* of
>them are going to get killed!!" 
>
>"And how are we suppose to get there in time?" she asked "It almost

Cloud: "Suppose" needs to be in past tense.

>took me a full hour to get here." at that moment, Trunks steeped out of
>his room wearing a very familiar sword.

Cloud: "Stepped" misspelled.

>
>"We'll get there." he stated as he took her in his arms and started
>flying with great speed.
>
>Minako was utterly confused, she recognized the sword from being the

Usagi: Well duh, no duh!
Cloud: Must... Control... Myself...

>
>"All this time it was you..." she pointed out once she got her voice
>back "You were Super Saya-man all this time..." All this time she's

Hikaru: Hah! Take that, blonde bimbo!
Usagi: Hmph.

>
>"How did you know Mako-chan was Sailor Jupiter??" she asked, it was the
>only thing that could come to her mind at the moment.
>
>"Her ki." Trunks explained.
>
>"Her what?" she asked again.
>
>"Her ki." he repeated "Every fighter has a ki. In Mako-chan's case not
>a very strong ki, it's not even properly developed. I could  barely

Cloud: Extra space.

>detect the same ki in Mako-chan and Sailor Jupiter for the past weeks,
>it's impossible for two persons to have the same ki. That was my first

>me... until now."

Ranma: Why not? They look exactly the same way.

>
>"Wait! I think I see them!" she spoke pointing at the battle field in
>the fair.

Cloud: "Battlefield" is one world
Ranma: Fair is the battlefield! Trunks vs. Lizardman!
Goku: What was that?
Ranma: It's just a joke on an episode title of my show. Nobody is
probably going to get it.

>Things weren't looking good for the Senshi, they were facing a (insert

Usagi: BOO! This is a BIG minus on presentation! The least you could do
is copy and paste the description of the monster from earlier!

Cloud: "Cough" misspelled.
Usagi: Ahh... *SNIFF* The classic "hero coming to rescue" routine! How
romantic!
Hikaru: It would be romantic if the heroine was someone other than a
Sailor Slut.
Usagi: At least it's better than having a Magic Wannabe as the heroine!
Goku: Girls, girls, let's not repeat the routine again, okay?

Ranma: The Z Senshi wasn't formed until the "Z" was added to the title,
when the series changed from being an adventure for the want of Dragon
Ball to make the dream come true to an action-fest inwhich Dragon Ball
was reduced to just a device of justice.

Goku: Technically not true. Trunks is the only Z Senshi left in his
timeline, and in the other timeline where he was trying to go, he's
stronger than I was at that time.

Ranma: Have an edge? Your damn transformation multiplys your power level
by hundreds! Even Picollo couldn't keep up with Saiyajins, you know.

>not the only one who does that between the Z Senshi... that is until

Ranma: Again, incorrect. In his timeline, only Goku and he could
do the transformation, and since Goku is dead, he IS the only one able
to go super.
Cloud: Will you stop nitpicking already?
Ranma: What makes you think I will stop just because YOU asked?
Cloud: MEEEOOOWWW!!
Ranma: ARRRGGGHGGH!!!

>"So what does Super Saiyan means anyway?" Usagi questioned.

>"I guess I should tell you about that too..." Trunks began.

>Time went on, Trunks told the girls the entire story about the Saiya-

Cloud: Incomplete sentence.

>"There's still something I don't get about all of this." Rei declared

Cloud: Weird as in arousing.
Usagi: (hitting Cloud with a small mallet) Stop it already!

>"I'm not very sure." she explained "It seemed like something hateful,

>
>"Well this is just a theory..." Trunks began "But Saiya-jins are

>
>"Maybe that's it." Ami pointed out "Although you really don't look like

>
>"Yeah, actually Saya-jins enjoy fighting above all things." Trunks
>replied "Sometimes they take that a little too far, that's when you
>could say they become more violent and maybe even evil."

Ranma: This one is correct. Saiyajin is termed as "combat race" because
their primary job was to be the "planet broker" and most of them were
genocidal maniacs. And since he has a Vegeta as a father, it stands to
reason that underneath his gentlemanly attitude lies a homicidal
tendency.

>

Hikaru: Okay, Ranma, those cats are gone. (removes her hands)
Ranma: Phew... Looks like I get to see the end after all.

>Trunks then turned and saw Makoto who remained seated in the living

Usagi: That goes without saying! (nods)

>"Um... girls..." he said addressing to Rei, Usagi and Minako "I...

>"Sure thing." Minako stated as she took Usagi and Rei's arms "We'll be

Cloud: "Haired", not "hair".

>"So," Makoto brought out not very thrilled "Are these your folks?"

Usagi: Sentence fragment!

Usagi: That's the way, Trunks!
Hikaru: Oh come on, she was going to be hurt more or less.

>
>"Well you did..." she told him "It hurt a lot too."
>
>"I know..." he stated as he put a hand on her shoulder "I wasn't

Cloud: Ever considered the possibility that she might not believe you?
Ranma: Well, he DOES have some proofs.

Cloud: Punctuation missing.

bored.)

Usagi: Yeah! (jumps up and down) Way to go, Trunks!
Goku: He finally told her! Finally!
Ranma: Well it was about time.
Cloud: Hmph. I'm sick of mushy scenes.

>
>"Do... do you mean that?" she asked, taken by surprise "You... you
>really feel that way?" Trunks nodded in response, he was speechless at

>
>A prolonged kiss didn't wait long to come. It was the only answer
>Trunks could give her and it was the only answer Makoto needed at the

Usagi: YEAH!!
Goku: Look, he's kissing her! He's kissing her!
Cloud: I have got my own eyes. Shut up.
Ranma: (smiles in an unusually kind way) They look so happy together.
Hikaru: (dryly) Mind you, he still has to leave...
(Dead silence.)

>
>After a couple of minutes, they broke the kiss (due to this little law
>of nature that demanded that both of them started breathing again
>otherwise they'd die). Right now, Trunks' face was redder than ever,

Usagi: ARGH!! Why can't you refrain from making a comment at a time
like this?! It ruins the atmosphere!

>this was due either by the lack of oxygen or by his natural nervousness
>(I leave the reader to decide which one it was). Makoto was blushing as

Usagi: Oh drat... I forgot about that!

>
>"You'll be leaving anyway, won't you?" she sadly told him.
>
>"I wish I could stay, Mako-chan..." he explained "But I can't. Not only
>I'm needed in my world. But I'm also endangering yours only by staying
>here. I wish things could be easier."

Usagi: (starts crying) Oh how tragic...! Their love is forbidden!
Goku: (looking sad) Trunks really deserves a happiness...

>
>"I know, I know." she said "It's just that... this is so unfair! Why do
>I have to lose you like this??" she began to weep "I know this sounds
>selfish... But I wish you could stay. I mean... tomorrow morning you
>won't be even at school. You'll be gone just like that... And I'll
>never see you again." she started crying but she couldn't let Trunks
>see her like this.
>
>"I know." he stated holding back tears of his own "I don't like it
>either... You know... When I left you at the fair, I wished for a
>moment that we never met... If that was the case I wouldn't known what
>I would be missing... But that was stupid. Even if I leave now, I'm
>happy I met you. I never felt like this for anyone, and I'm not
>regretting falling in love with you, Makoto Kino."

Usagi: *SNIFF* You got it a little too late, bozo! *SNIFF*
Hikaru: What difference would it have made? If he didn't leave, then
he will be betraying himself.

>
>"You always knew how to make me feel better..." she pointed out "I'm
>really going to miss you..................... Would another kiss be too
>much to ask?"

Hikaru: Yes.
Usagi: Quiet! (hits Hikaru with a mallet)
Hikaru: Why you! (gets out her own mallet and hits Usagi back)
Goku: Stop it, girls! Do this AFTER the movie!

>
>"Of course not." he told her, as he held her chin up to meet her lips.
>
>Both of them started kissing once again. And of course, as you might of

>wouldn't be right if they weren't pepping).

Cloud: "Peeping" misspelled.

>Moments later, outside Trunks' house. The time machine was ready after 
>Artemis, Luna and Ami made their final inspections. Trunks turned his
>house into a capsule once again (much to the surprise of the rest of
>the cast) and stored it with his other capsules. Now came the moment to
>say good bye. 
>He was never good at that. 

Hikaru: Nobody is good with good-byes.

>In front of him stood the five girls. They weren't looking too happy
>for seeing him go. Trunks approached Usagi who was the closest one at
>the moment.
>
>"Usagi," he said to her "thanks for everything. I'd like to thank your 
>parents as well but I don't think that'll be possible."
>
>"Don't worry." Usagi told him "I'll make something up. It's too bad
>you're leaving. We'll really miss you."
>
>"I think you'll be getting late for school from now on, without me
>around to pull you around." he joked. 
>
>"Yeah well, I think my arm needs some rest." she replied jokingly
>"Although I must admit I started to strengthen. I might even have a
>strong punch now." as she showed her biceps.

Usagi: Sentence fragment again.

>
>"Take care of your friends. Remember you're the leader." he pointed
>out, they gave each other a hug. After that, Trunks moved next to Rei.
>
>"Well I think this is good bye then." she declared "It's really a shame 
>things had to end up this way."
>
>"Yeah, I know." he said "Bye the way, I'm sorry I had you worried about
>all this Super Saiyan thing. I'd never knew it had such an effect on
>you."
>
>"You don't have to explain anything." Rei told him with a smile "I'm
>the one who jumped to conclusions. I'm sorry if I gave you a hard time
>lately."
>
>"Just take care of yourself okay." he stated, he then gave her a hug.

Cloud: Gee, he's behaving unusually affectionate.
Ranma: It's the ending. It MUST be affectionate.

>
>"I really hope that everything turns out all right in your world." she
>added "Good luck."
>
>"Thanks."
>
>Next to Rei stood Minako, who was looking a little embarrassed.
>
>"You're still angry at me for what I did this morning?" he asked her 
>jokingly.
>
>"Er... No, not at all!" She timidly responded "Sorry for yelling at you 
>earlier, I really wasn't myself at the moment."

Hikaru: Wow, that blonde is being uncharacteristically polite.

>
>"You don't have to apologize." he declared "I should even thank you for 
>interfering. Mako-chan is your friend and you had the right to be
>worried for her."
>
>"Yeah... well... this is a little embarrassing to say..." Minako began
>"But I was kinda having a crush on you... On Super Saiya-man that is."
>
>"Sorry to disappoint you like that." he said.

Ranma: Isn't he being a bit too calm about this? Oh well.

>
>"Hey, don't worry." she told him "It's something I just had to say. You 
>don't have to feel bad about that... Now gimme a hug and go say good
>bye to the rest of the girls." he did so.
>
>Next in line was Ami, who seemed to be the most serene one of all five.

Ranma: As usual.

>
>"Looks like you won't be studding any time soon." she said amused.

Cloud: "Studying" misspelled.

>
>"Looks that way." Trunks replied "Thanks for helping me at school
>though."
>
>"Liar." she sarcastically pointed out "I know you hatted it, you just 
>couldn't admit it."

Cloud: "Hated" misspelled.
Ranma: Now Ami's being OOC? Yeesh...

>
>"I certainly can't fool you." he mockingly declared "But I want to
>thank you anyway for everything you did. Take care." 
>
>"You too." they gave each other a hug.
>
>The only one left was Makoto. Trunks arranged everything so he could
>say good-bye to her at the end. Both started by giving each other a
>hug.

Cloud: I'm getting REALLY sick of all this mushy stuff.
Usagi: QUIET!!

>
>"I'll never forget you." he told her.

Usagi: See, Trunks? What did I tell you earlier? *SNIFF*

>
>"I wish you could stay." she said, she promised herself she wouldn't
>cry but she started to feel it wasn't going to be possible any longer
>"At least you'll get a chance to see your parents and friends again."
>
>"You won't be alone... even if I leave." he softly stated "Your friends
>will always be with you. I don't want you to stay shattered like me
>when I lost my friends. You still have friends who care about you. In
>my case, I'm not even sure if my future will be fixed even if I succeed
>in my mission. That's why you can't let yourself end up the same way I
>did."

Usagi: *SNIFF* Oh I *SNIFF* can't take *SNIFF* it anymore! BWAAAAAAA!!!
Cloud: Oh please...
Goku: It IS sad, Cloud.
Ranma: I'm inclined to agree.
Hikaru: (reluctantly) Me too, but Trunks should have chosen someone
different.

>
>"I love you." she whispered into his ear, they began to kiss again. The 
>other Senshi pretended to be looking elsewhere as the couple began to
>kiss.
>

Usagi: *HIC* *HIC* This will be their last kiss ever... (bursts into
tear again)

>
>After those painful good-byes, Trunks jumped inside the time machine.
>He set his destination several years before his own time, hoping there
>wouldn't be anymore accidents. He turned his sight outside. The girls
>were still watching him. He waved good-bye to them as his ship began to
>take off. He was really going to miss all of them, especially Makoto.
>If his mission wasn't so important he might have decided to stay. But
>that was hardly the case. 

Ranma: (sighs) Ah, to carry such a burden on your shoulder...

>A tear slid down his cheek as he looked at his lost love for one last
>time. The last time ever.
>
>The five girls waved good-bye as they saw how the time machine
>disappeared in a flash of bright light. He was gone. Gone for good.
>

(Usagi can't stop crying. The others look teary as well, with the
exception of a nose-picking SOLDIER.)

>Meanwhile, in another universe. Another kind of group stood in a field. 
>Right now they were all looking at the sky. A ship approached. A very
>big ship. Inside of it was Freezer and his father Cold. Hungry for

Cloud: And be killed the second time?

>Piccolo remained silent. He knew well what was Freezer capable of. He

Goku: Messy? He and Vegeta combined MIGHT stand a chance against
Freeza's final form. But with Cold here, they are doomed. Even Vegeta
said so.

>But suddenly, something else caught his attention. 
>Another ki.Was it Goku? No this ki was different. But it was also

Cloud: Space needed.

>[That ki!] Vejita thought as he narrowed his eyes [It's from a Saya-

Ranma: Your time-traveling son.

(Ranma, Goku, and Usagi, who is still crying, claps heartily. Hikaru
remains motionless while Cloud boos.)
Usagi: *SNIFF* *HONK* Okay... Gotta get a hold of myself. FANTASTIC
chapter! So many good scenes topped with a bittersweet ending. They
manage to blow away the numerous faults in the fic. But why did you
separate them?! WHY!?! (resumes crying)


>-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>--------------------------------------------------------------
>Author's final notes:
>
>Finally finished!!! I told you I'd finish this, didn't I? 
>Come on! don't look at me like that! You really didn't think Trunks was 
>going to stay with the Senshi, did you? His place is somewhere else,
>the boy has a life of his own in a different world, you know? There was
>absolutely no way I was going to let him stay! Although I think there
>are some things I have to explain.

Usagi: YEAH!! *SNIFF* Such as how you could be so cruel! *HONK*

>
>What forced me into writing this?
>
>Well I could tell you this was divine inspiration............. but if I
>told you that I'd be lying.

Cloud: It's not lying if nobody finds out.

>To tell the truth, I've been reading a lot (and I do mean A LOT!!) of 
>fanfics recently. I've stumbled upon a couple of Sailor Moon/Dragon
>ball Z fanfics during my net surfing, and to be completely honest, I
>didn't like them at all (the name of those fanfics will remain unsaid
>for the benefit of my protection ^_^ ;;;;). 

Cloud: Wise guy.

>In other words, I just HAD to make a crossover fanfic between those two 
>worlds that would satisfy me. It wasn't easy but I feel fulfilled with
>my job. I for one think that this fanfic might be more enjoyable for SM
>fans than DBZ fans. But then again I could be wrong, I think the
>readers have the final word about this.

Ranma: Well, it DOES take place almost entirely in the Sailor Moon
universe, so I guess you are right.

>
>Why did I choose Future Trunks of all the caracters in the DBZ
>universe?
>
>That's very simple. Future Trunks is with no doubt the perfect guy for
>this. His a teenager, he travels through time and is completely dense
>about women (like most of the DBZ caracters for that matter). And on

Ranma: This point I can't agree on, but since I repeated this too many
times already, I won't start it again.

>top of that, no one else could have fit in so nicely! Try imagining
>this fanfic with Vejita or Piccolo (?).

Hikaru: Even the power of imagination has its limits.

>I though about using Son Goten and the older version of Chibi Trunks
>for a moment (after all they are both teenagers and two are always
>better than one), buuuuuuuuuuuuuut that might've been a little too much
>for me to handle.Don't get me wrong! This doesn't mean Trunks is my
>favorite DBZ caracter (although he is my second favorite!). My favorite
>caracter is Vejita, but as I told you before, Trunks turned out to be
>perfect for this story. 

Ranma: Well, it would have been harder to write, but it also might have
been funnier.

>
>Why did I set up Makoto and Trunks?

Hikaru: Or with any of Sailor Slut for that matter?

>
>I had to do a little research for this one. Anyone of the Senshi could
>have ended up with him. But after comparing, I decided that Makoto was
>the one that had most things in common with him. And besideds, if I
>didn't put any "romance" in this fanfic, things just wouldn't be right.
>I also tried to give everyone a good share of action and speech so no
>one would be over staged by the two main caracters of this fanfic.

Usagi: Well you didn't give ME enough spotlight! *SNIFF*

>
>Where did I come up with the monsters?
>
>First I thought about sending Trunks against one of the Senshi's
>natural enemies (the Negaverse for example), but I decided I didn't
>want to alter the story TOO much. As an end result, I ended up creating

Ranma: If you did that, Sailor Pluto would have barged in.

>my own personal monsters and came up with the idea that they came from
>different worlds. The problem was creating the monsters, they had too
>look different from one another and not too strong for the Senshi to
>handle. In spite of the fact that they were used as mere punching bags
>and had no originality what so ever, I think things turned fine after
>all ^_^

Goku: I rather liked the monsters. They were pretty well made.

>
>Why did I chose this ending?
>
>BECAUSE I'M PURE EVIL!!!!! THAT'S WHY!!!!!

Usagi: WHY YOU!!

>No wait! I didn't mean that! 

Usagi: Oh. *SNIFF*

>I did this because the idea of these two worlds ending up together
>might turn out disastrous. I mean, Hey! Let's get realistic here! We're
>talking about a world with fighters powerful enough to destroy a planet
>in a blink of an eye and another world where five girls fight for love
>and justice!!!! 
>The next thing that might of happened if I chose that Trunks should've
>stay would be that him and Makoto ended up having kids. And then you'll
>start seeing Sailor Senshis flying around, making ki blasts and turning
>Super Saiyan!

Ranma: (turns green) Uh... Yeah, that WOULD be bizarre.

>
>Imagine this: you see a small twelve years old Sailor Senshi wearing a
>light green sailor fuku in front of a monster as the battle is about to
>begin.
>
>"..... I'm Sailor Chibi Jupiter," she stated "and I shall punish you in
>the name of planet Vejita!!" suddenly, her soft brown hair turns spiky
>golden and the battle begins as she launches her KAME-HAME-HA. (Sorry
>but that aint gonna happen!!)

Ranma: Eep.
Cloud: (grins nastily) Well, isn't it about to become a reality in one
of your fics? What was it called, "Trio"?
Usagi: (stops crying) Oh yeah! I wonder what's gonna happen in that one.
I wish Flashman would resume working on it.
Ranma: Well I don't want to think about it! What if Chibi-Usa started
wearing pigtails and turning into a boy? Blech.
Hikaru: (smiles) Well, you don't have to worry about it happening in OUR
story, Ranma. Remember the "Duet"?
Ranma: Um, yeah, but...
Usagi: Ha! I would pity the child who has to have YOUR blood!
Hikaru: So do I for yours!
Ranma: (burys his face in his hands) Don't they ever get tired of this?
Cloud: Hehe, not a chance.
Goku: (pats Ranma on the back) Have courage, Ranma.

>
>
>One last thing,
>This is a fanfic!!!! That doesn't mean that what you've been reading so
>far is real! If you really didn't like the ending, remember that this

Cloud: So what?

	The display of author's notes on the gigantic screen blipped off
momentarily before changing into an ugly visage of none other than VGAP.
"Well, well, well. You're finished! Congratulations!"
	"You do know what happens when I find you again, don't you?" Cloud
punctuated his point by patting his monstrous blade.
	"Ha! You will never find my hiding place this time!" VGAP stuck
his tongue out. "So, did you like the fanfic?"
	"Needed more action." Goku complained.
	"Why couldn't it have been us in the place of Sailor Sluts?"
Hikaru grumbled.
	"Trunks and Makochan should have stayed together!" Usagi whined.
	"I wanted at least a cameo appearence." Ranma muttered.
	"One word: lemon." Cloud deadpanned.
	VGAP smiled, causing nausea in some characters. "Well, you get
more action and a guest appearence by Ranma in the side-story."
	"There's a side-story to this?" Hikaru asked.
	"That, and a sequel planned."
	Usagi's eyes lit up. "A sequel? Do they get together this time?"
	"Maybe, maybe not." VGAP tried to shrug, but dislocated his
shoulder instead. He hopped around in the screen while everyone laughed,
howling with pain and rage. About a minute later, he finally
straightened up and glared down at his workers. "Well, that's all. I
will contact you individually when I need you guys again." The eternal
nerd in need of life humphed before cutting off the communication. The
screen resumed its lifeless expression.
	Goku stood up and stretched, yawning like a bear. "Ahh... I need a
workout."
	"Can't agree more. I wonder where Ryoga is right now..." Ranma
tried to follow the elder fighter out before his "girlfriends" started
fighting again. He didn't make it.
	"Without your crystal, you're powerless." Hikaru condemned her
