Disclaimer: Sasami, Washu, Funaho, & Yugi belong to Pioneer. Trunks, Vegeta, King Kai & Gohan belong to Akira Toriyama. Serenity, Endymion, Hotaru & Reenie belong to Naoko Takeuchi. Sakura & Li belong to CLAMP/Nelvana.

Note: This is the last one, just as I said earlier. Don't get mad, it was great while it lasted. I may write side stories for the kids, but we'll have to wait and see. Oh, and just so you know, Gohan & Sasami's twins (Gomen & Raine) got their names for a reason. Loosely translated (EXTREMELY loosely in this case), their names mean "thankful rain" or "thank the rain." It's their way of thanking Tsunami for blessing their marriage.

Kid Stuff #12: Reunion

"I still don't see why we couldn't have the reunion on Jurai," Sasami complained. "Our palace is just as good as this one!"

Gohan smirked. "I think it was because of the way your father treated everyone."

She gave him a warning look. "Are you saying my father's a bad person?"

"No, I'm just saying he hates all people, and me in particular."

Sasami sighed in annoyance. "Gohan, my father does like you. Remember the time he took you fishing?"

Gohan laughed. "If you mean the time I 'accidentally' fell out of the boat, it's not exactly a fond memory."

"He did NOT push you. What about the hunting trip you two took?"

"Oh, I'll never forget that line! 'Sorry, Gohan! I thought you were a deer!'"

"It's not like you were hurt...seriously!"

Gohan slipped his arms around her waist. "Okay, your father doesn't hate me," he said, kissing her forehead. After a moment, he added, "He hates me AND Tenchi."

She pulled away from him roughly. "Gohan!"

"Oh, come on! Are you saying that he was happy at either of the weddings?"

Sasami hesitated. "Daddy just finds it hard to smile someti-"

"Ever."

"You're not being fair!"

Gohan gave her one his looks that meant, "You've GOT to be kidding." She hated it when he did that, because it usually meant that she was wrong and they both knew it. "You name ONE time when Dad was even close to being mean to you."

"Okay, Goku's a sweetheart, but Chi-Chi's no angel!"

Gohan instantly got defensive. "We're talking about fathers here, not mothers."

"So you admit she's a little rough sometimes?"

"Sasami, I've seen her beat up grown men more than once."

"Okay. So my father hates you, and I'm afraid of your mother. We're even."

"No, we aren't," Gohan replied. "My mother NEVER tried to kill you. And we both know that if Tenchi hadn't had the Lighthawk Wings, that so-called accident with your father's ship would've killed him."

"You HAD to bring that up," she muttered.

Gohan cupped her face in his hands. "Sasami, let's face it. We both know why everyone agreed to let Reenie's family host the reunion. Now, I'll admit that there's nothing wrong with your family. Your mother adores...well, everyone, and Funaho's generally nice to anyone she meets. Ayeka was a little stiff at first, but Tenchi helped her open up. Still, your father has always been...distant."

"Well, if you hate him so much, why'd you marry me?"

"I think you just answered your own question. There's nothing better than seeing the look on his face when the kids call him Grampa."

"So that's why you left them at the palace?"

Gohan grinned. "Well, your mother practically begged me to, and Funaho said it'd be good for him."

"Which is why she came with us."

"Precisely. But she's never been to Crystal Tokyo before, and I promised that Reenie would give her the grand tour."

"You just don't think my father is a good person, do you?" Sasami asked.

Gohan shrugged. "I just don't see how someone like him could be related to someone like you."

"I don't know whether to kiss you or smack for that one."

"I'd prefer the kiss, if we're taking votes."

* * * * *

"I really want to thank you two for coming," Reenie said for the third time. "I know it was hard to get away for a while."

"It wasn't that big of a problem," Sakura replied. "Oh, and I want you to my babies. This," she said, patting her round belly, "is little Tarot. Now, say hello to Reenie, Ace."

A small boy with dark brown hair peered out from behind her dress. "Mom, how come there's only girls here?" he complained. "You promised there'd be boys, too!"

Li shot him a look.

Ace muttered something under his breath, but quickly bowed. "Nice to meet you."

Reenie looked at Li and nearly laughed. "You and Sakura...?"

Li turned red as Sakura laid her head on his shoulder. "Yeah. I can hardly believe it myself."

"Don't be so surprised. It was destiny, just like your parents," Sakura explained. "Only we didn't find out until later."

"Mom, how long is this gonna take?" Ace whined, tugging on her dress. "I wanna do something fun!"

Reenie leaned down until she was eye level with him. "You got a problem with my place, little man?"

Ace swallowed noisily. "No, ma'am."

"Good." She tweaked his nose. "Because I happen to think you're very cute. Would you be my date for dinner tonight?"

Ace turned bright red and retreated behind his mother's dress again.

"Reenie's only teasing, honey," Sakura reassured him. "Besides, I'm sure she has a suitor stashed around here somewhere."

"Well, not really," Reenie admitted slowly. "I'd rather wait a little longer. So, how old is Mr. Ace Showrun here?"

Li winced noticeably, and Sakura frowned. "Actually, his last name is Avalon," she replied, picking up her son.

"Huh?"

Li sighed. "My parents wanted me to marry Maelin, and when I chose Sakura instead, they disowned me. I'm not a Showrun anymore."

"What about Maelin?" Reenie asked.

Li shrugged. "We haven't spoken in years. I think they married her off to one of my older cousins."

"So...you two aren't married?"

"We are in every way that counts," Sakura responded.

Li nodded and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

* * * * *

Trunks ducked as a blast sailed over his head. With a smile, he raised his hand to return fire. Before he could, a small screen popped up in front of him. "Mama?" he shouted in surprise.

"Hi, honey!" Washu sang. "How's my baby?"

Trunks blushed. "Mama, I'm kinda busy here!"

"Are you wearing clean underwear?"

"...what?"

"It's just something all mothers have to ask." Her face became serious. "How are you and your father getting along?"

"Oh, Dad's great. He's really changed, and-"

"Is HE wearing clean underwear?"

Trunks stared at the screen, nearly getting his head blasted off his shoulders in the process. "I'm not gonna ask him that."

"Do it or I'll assume you don't love your mother, the woman who gave you LIFE."

Trunks sighed and glanced over at Vegeta, who was mowing down soldiers left and right with beams of energy. "Hey, Dad!"

"What is it, son?" Vegeta shouted over his shoulder.

"Are you...never mind!" Trunks turned back to the screen. "Mama, you KNOW I love you. Seriously, why are you calling now?"

"Well, I've got Yugi and the kids with me, and I thought you two could use a ride to Crystal Tokyo." Washu did some calculations. "I could have a star portal there in about ten seconds."

"Like I said before, Mama, we're a little busy at the moment!" Trunks dodged another laser and launched a huge fireball.

The screen shifted to two small faces. "Are you really going to refuse these little angels?" Washu asked.

"Daddy, we miss you!" the little girl said.

Trunks could only smile. "I'll be there in a minute, Maria. Junior, take care of your sister."

The boy next to her frowned slightly, but nodded. He took after his grandfather.

The screen shifted back to Washu. "So, can I expect to see my two favorite boys very soon?"

Trunks sighed. "Yeah, Mama. We're almost done here, anyway."

The screen vanished just as Vegeta finished off the rest of the approaching soldiers with a large blast. "Who were you talking to?"

"That was Mama. She's picking us up."

A decade ago, Vegeta might have growled, or even cursed under his breath. Instead, he brushed some space dust from his armor. "It will be nice to see her again."

Before Trunks could give him a blank look, a star portal opened in front of them. They stepped through together, and were tackled instantly.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Maria chanted, covering her father's face with kisses.

Vegeta found he had his own problems as he lifted Junior off his chest. "Remind me why this boy likes me so much again, Trunks."

Trunks grinned. "You're his idol, Dad. We did name him after you for a reason."

"Then why in the world do you call him Junior?"

Trunks shrugged. "Yugi thought it would be funny to confuse people that way."

Vegeta allowed Junior to climb on his back, and allowed was a very good word for it. Despite how much he had changed, Vegeta still had a problem with children. He was trying to adjust for the sake of his grandchildren, but it was difficult.

A few seconds later, Washu walked in. "It's strange, Vegeta. You're supposed to be invincible, but every time I see you, your armor is in ruin." She picked at a wound on his arm. "At least most of the bleeding has stopped."

Trunks held his breath, waiting for the explosion. There was none.

Vegeta merely smiled. "I see you haven't changed, Washu."

"You mean that I'm still a scientific genius, or that I'm still smarter than you? Maybe both, in fact."

The Saiyan Prince chuckled. "Actually, I was referring to the fact that you're looking just as lovely as I remember. That, of course, and you're still shorter than me."

Trunks was very confused. "Um...no offense, but have you both gone nuts?"

Washu waved him away. "Be a good boy and go find Yugi, Trunks. Take the kids with you. Your father and I have some catching up to do."

A suspicious look crossed his face. "Hey, you two aren't gonna..."

"That's none of your business, and I won't tolerate disobedience," Vegeta replied sharply. "You may be taller than us, but we are still your parents. Do as your mother says."

Trunks quickly backed away, tucking each of his children under one arm.

"What are they gonna do, Daddy?" Maria asked when they were out of earshot.

Trunks smiled slightly. "I never thought I'd say this, but I'll tell you when you're older, honey. Let's go find your mother."

* * * * *

"I've never seen such splendor in all my years," Funaho whispered.

Hotaru frowned. "Queen Funaho, this is only the bathroom."

"But LOOK at it!"

"Your Highness, I HAVE looked at it, and so have you, for the past half hour! Can we please move on now?"

Funaho ran her hand along the thick curtains. "We must get these patterns for the palace. It could do wonders for the throne room."

Hotaru groaned and sat on the floor, wondering how Reenie had tricked her into giving Funaho the grand tour.

"I noticed that most of Reenie's guests have children," Funaho said. "What about you, Hotaru?"

"Oh, you must mean Sakuya. She's gone back to her own time. She missed her real brother and thought he must be as lonely as she was."

"Don't you ever get lonely, dear?"

Hotaru shrugged. "Not really. I live here, with Reenie and...everyone. There's never enough space to be lonely."

"I meant your heart," Funaho added. "Don't you have a boyfriend or something like that?"

"Well...no," Hotaru replied. "After I found out about Sakuya, I decided that I'm not the best judge of men, so I'm trying to remain single as long as I can."

"But in this world, even Vegeta has changed," the queen pointed out. "He's a highly respected knight of Jurai now, as is Trunks. If they can change their futures, why can't you do the same?"

"I am changing my future. By staying single, I won't bring Sakuya into a world where she can't have a normal life." Hotaru stood up and brushed off her clothes. "Can we go now?"

"I suppose so," Funaho said quietly, following her into the hallway. Neither of them noticed Neo-Queen Serenity behind them, watching in silence.

* * * * *

"You must be Gohan and Sasami. Reenie's told us much about you both."

"Only good things, I hope," Gohan muttered, scratching his head.

Neo-King Endymion smiled. "Of course. But she mentioned some children, as well."

"Oh. They're with my family," Sasami said. "I'm really sorry they couldn't make it, but-"

Before she could finish, the ground began to shake.

"That's funny. We've never had a problem with earthquakes before," Endymion said.

"I've got a feeling it's not an earthquake." Gohan groaned. "They found us again."

"Sir, you might want to move away," Sasami warned, taking a few steps backward.

A portion of the floor exploded, three small figures floated up through the hole. The tallest of them had long, golden hair that stood up on his head. With a frown, he said, "If you EVER leave us with Grampa again, I'm gonna tell Grandma Chi-Chi."

The other two children ran over and hugged their mother's legs. "Mama, he was so mean!" the girl cried.

"And loud," the second boy added. "Why's he always mad?"

Gohan had to cover his mouth to keep from laughing.

Sasami glared at him, then bent down to hug the children. "Raine, he doesn't mean to be angry. Gomen, he's not always mad, he just sounds that way."

"Hate to say, 'I told you so,' but..."

"Gohan, that's enough." Sasami looked at her oldest son. "Godin, we've told you several times not to run off like this."

Godin shrugged as his golden glow faded. "Well, Raine didn't wanna stay there, and neither did Gomen. And it doesn't really count as running away since we came here to be with you. Besides, this is a reunion! We wanna see all our aunts, uncles, and cousins!"

Endymion chuckled. "I do remember Reenie saying something about the oldest being high-spirited. In fact, he reminds me of her around that age."

"Yeah, but Reenie wasn't a Super Saiyan," Gohan added with a smirk. "And there was only one of her."

* * * * *

"Is that their ship?"

Hotaru squinted up at the night sky. "I think so, Queen Serenity, but it has been a while. Washu might have designed several ships since then."

The ship landed a few feet away, letting off a loud hiss as the main door slid open. A tall man stepped out first. His pale skin was framed by long, light purple hair that hung past his shoulders. There was a smile on his face as he walked towards the two women.

"Which one is this, Hotaru?" Serenity whispered.

"It's...Trunks. I think."

The man stopped and bowed. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Queen Serenity. My name is Trunks, and on behalf of the king of Jurai-"

"Auntie Hotaru!" A small girl ran out of the ship and flew into Hotaru's arms.

Trunks sighed. "...I humbly thank you and your kingdom for your continued friendship."

Serenity smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Trunks. I take it this is your daughter?"

"Yes, that's my Maria. This is Junior," he said, gesturing to the boy that stopped beside him. "My wife, Yugi, will be out in a few minutes, and my parents are...well...they haven't seen each other in a long time, and...um..." He shrugged helplessly.

"I think I understand," Serenity replied with a nod. "I'll take the children to their room." She turned and walked away, followed closely by Junior and Maria.

Trunks shook his head. "I know Reenie said she looked like an angel, but I never even imagined..."

"Most people react that way after meeting her for the first time," Hotaru told him. "It's...good to see you again, Trunks."

"And that little pause tells me that something's bothering you," he responded, squeezing her shoulder. "What is it?"

Hotaru sighed. "Everyone got married and had children except me and Reenie. And when Sakuya left, I told her that she should stay with her brother this time. I wish I had my own family. In THIS timeline. I know we all consider each other family, but it's just not the same."

Trunks slipped an arm around her waist and led her back to the palace. "Hotaru, when those kids call you 'Auntie,' they really mean it. They love you just as much, if not more, than we do."

"But none of them are mine, Trunks, and neither was Sakuya. She belonged to another Hotaru. I had no right to keep her as long as I did."

"You're wrong. Sakuya chose to stay with you because she can't remember her mother. I'm sure the Trunks in her timeline took good care of her, but he could never be her mother. And no matter what you say, Sakuya will always consider you her real mother. Nothing can change that. She loves you."

Hotaru shook her head. "You're just trying to make me feel better."

"No, if I was trying to do that, I'd do this!" He pulled her closer and tickled her stomach.

She laughed and shoved him away. "You big dummy!"

"At least I get to see that pretty smile after so long."

Hotaru blushed. "Trunks, you're terrible!"

"Hey, you're the one that mercilessly kissed me when I was a kid!"

"That was totally innocent!"

"Was not! I had a crush on you for weeks after that, and-"

"You did?" Hotaru asked slowly.

Trunks turned red. "You didn't hear that!"

"I think I did, or you wouldn't have changed color. Why didn't you ever say anything?"

"Because it was my first crush. I knew I was in love with Yugi. Plus, you were so busy taking care of Sakuya back then, you never noticed. So I moved on."

"Did someone mention my name?" Yugi asked as she appeared behind them.

Trunks nearly screamed. "Yugi, honey! HI!"

Yugi gave him an odd look. "Hi...?"

"You're a very lucky woman, Yugi," Hotaru said, giving her a hug. "Keep him out of trouble for me." Then she lightly kissed Trunks on the nose before entering the palace.

"Well, that was weird. And why is your face red?" Yugi asked.

Trunks grinned nervously. "Did I mention how beautiful you looked tonight?"

"Yes, and even that's not gonna save you, mister."

* * * * *

It took a few hours, but everyone was finally located and directed to the dining hall. Most of the adults had only been to the palace once or twice in their entire lives. Gohan & Sasami were the only couple that knew their way around, as they had found that Hotaru was Gomen's preferred baby-sitter. Gomen never said much, but when he did, Godin listened, and Godin always knew which buttons to press in order to convince his mother of many things.

After dinner, there was a guest speaker scheduled. No one could figure out who the speaker was until a round, blue man with tiny glasses waddled into the room. He had grown wider over the years, and there was now a gray goatee pointing out from his chin.

He quickly made his way over to the podium and loudly cleared his throat. "Most of you adults know me by now, though some of the children don't. My name is King Kai, and I am arguably the best teacher of martial arts living today. Of course, that doesn't say much for all the greater dead teachers, but I'm still the best, so who cares?"

There were a few scattered laughs and many more confused looks.

"Let's get to the business at hand. Several people here have had the benefit of my training classes. I've come here tonight to present each of them with special awards and honors."

At this point, a large cricket appeared next to the podium and took several bows.

King Kai frowned. "Oh, and my assistant, Gregory, will help me pass out the awards." He turned back to his notes. "Oh, yes! This first award goes to the hardest worker I've ever had the benefit of training. Someday, if he hasn't already, I'm sure he'll surpass his father's legendary accomplishments. So, the Tough-As-Heck Award goes to Gohan!"

Gregory flew over and presented Gohan with a small statue of a Saiyan in Golden Ape form.

"This next award goes to the most disciplined student. Now, while she did have an annoying habit of turning evil and trying to kill/beat the crap out of us, this little lady also proved that you have to watch out for the quiet ones. The Focused Fighter Award goes to Hotaru...and, uh...Sailor Saturn, I guess!"

Gregory handed Hotaru a statue of a Sailor Scout holding a sword over her head.

"This third award goes to the student that most improved their power level while under my guidance. He would've gotten the Tough-As-Heck Award, too, but he didn't have to work as hard as Gohan, since his power level was already so high. Therefore, the Lil' Scrapper Award goes to Vegeta!"

Gregory handed Vegeta a statue of a wounded Saiyan kid with bandages all over his body.

"The next award goes to the most helpful student. Whether she was busy or not, this kid always had a talent for helping others. Without her, we all would've starved to death, and she makes a mean pot of stew! (Fix me some later!) The Smiley Samaritan award goes to Sasami!"

Gregory handed Sasami a statue of a girl wearing a smiley face T-shirt.

"This award goes to the one student who never trained under me, but you'd swear he did! That's how good this guy is, really! Anyway, the Outrageous Outcast Award goes to Trunks!"

Gregory handed Trunks a statue of a Saiyan kid with a pierced nose and a "School is for Weenies" T-shirt.

"The final award goes to a student who never ceased to amaze and entertain us with her bag of tricks...um, I mean, deck of cards...I guess. Right! She always had a smile on her face, and never once caused any trouble like the rest of the rascals. The Good Gal Award goes to Sakura!"

Gregory handed Sakura a statue of a smiling girl in a cloak holding up a handful of large cards.

"That was the last award, but we have a special honor I'd like to announce. This student improved her fighting skills greatly, and though she never got a chance to use them much, she grew up into a quite a young lady. I mean, her folks are LOADED, and she gets to live this HUGE palace with servants and...oh, right. The thing is, she never really got the spotlight, what with Gohan and Hotaru/Saturn and Vegeta hogging it all the time. So, I'd like to Pretty Princess Award to...Small Lady? Who the heck is that?"

Gregory frowned and whispered something to King Kai.

"OH! To REENIE! Okay, that makes more since. I know THAT name."

Gregory sighed in frustration before handing Reenie a statue of a princess with a tiara.

"Well, those are all the awards and honors I have. I guess I'm done here. Oh, but now we have a talent show! Only the kids are allowed to participate, so no adults allowed. We'll begin in...uh, say twenty minutes."

* * * * *

There wasn't really an announcer for the talent show, so Washu volunteered to do it.

"Okay! Our first contestants are going to re-enact a famous battle scene! Please put your hands together for Godin, Gomen, Raine, and Junior as they present 'Duel on Namek!'"

Little Gomen walked onto the stage. He was wearing purple and white PJs. "I, the mighty Frieza, shall become immortal, now that I have all seven Dragonballs!" He held out his hand, revealing seven gumballs with glitter sprinkled on them.

"Hold it right there!" Godin leaped onstage, wearing one of Goku's old training outfits. "I'll never let you get away with it!" He grabbed Gomen's hand and tried to wrestle the gumballs away from him.

"Back off, do-gooder!" Gomen screamed. He shoved Godin away and threw the gumballs the ground. "Just for that, I'm gonna take out the whole planet!" He began stomping on the ground.

Raine ran in wearing a blue-green wig. "HELP!" she shouted. "SOMEBODY HELP! THE WHOLE PLANET'S GONNA BLOW UP! SAVE ME! SAVE MEEEEEEEE!"

Junior walked onto stage with a confident stride. "I am Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans, and member of the Saiyan elite! Now fall before my mighty hand!"

Everyone was surprised when Junior mowed over the other actors with a huge blast of energy.

"Hey, that wasn't in the script!" Raine shouted.

"Die, mortal!" Junior screamed, aiming another blast at her.

Godin scooped up his sister and deflected the blast with one arm. "Hey, you jerk! That's my baby sister you're blasting!"

Junior glared at him. "I'll get you, too, Kakarot!" He charged toward Godin, forming a disk of destructive energy over his right hand. At the last second, Gomen tripped him, and the disk went flying into the audience. It slammed into Gohan's chest, knocking him over the table and to the floor.

Sasami helped Gohan up. "Honey, are you okay?"

Gohan blinked slowly. "You know, I don't remember that battle on Namek going that way."

Godin put Raine down and faced Junior. "Okay, punk! Let's see how you like this performance!" His eyes turned dark green, and his hair grew longer and turned gold.

"Impressive, but I can do the same!" Junior was soon giving off his own golden glow, his piercing green eyes staring straight through his opponent. "Now let's see who's stronger!"

The two young Super Saiyans grabbed each other and wrestled, neither with a clear advantage.

"I was right," Gohan said. "This is BETTER than Namek!"

"Gohan! We should stop them before they hurt each other!" Sasami cried.

"Let them fight," Vegeta said. "This is best battle I've seen in a long time!"

Trunks watched in awe. "Awesome! Their powers are even greater than mine were at that age!"

"Gohan, you have to stop them!" Sasami insisted.

Gohan checked his slightly injured ribs. "Tell you what, sweetie. If you want to stop them so bad, go right ahead and be my guest. I'll catch you if they knock you off the stage."

* * * * *

Serenity sighed softly. "Have you estimated the damages yet?"

Endymion looked up from the notebook he was holding. "Yes, dear."

"And?"

He paled considerably. "Next time, I'll suggest that Sasami's family host the reunion."

"An excellent choice, my dear husband," Serenity replied. "One that I seem to remember suggesting to you several weeks ago."

Endymion turned a light shade of red. "Yes, well...I didn't realize Saiyans could be so...destructive."

"I don't think anyone ever does." Serenity admired a white rose in her hand. "It's strange, though. The little one, Gomen, gave me this. For all their power, at least some have gentle sides."

"That almost sounds like Hotaru. Except she's never destroyed entire sections of the palace."

"No, but King Kai has told me some tales about her."

Endymion chuckled. "I wouldn't believe everything he said. He seemed like the type to exaggerate."

Serenity nodded slightly. "Are all the children in bed?"

"Yes. I made sure of that myself."

"Then we'd better go talk to Reenie."

* * * * *

"But Mom, it wasn't my fault! He was gonna hurt Raine!"

Sasami sighed. "Godin, what have we told you about turning into a Super Saiyan in front of other Saiyans?"

Godin lowered his head. "It only encourages them to do it, too."

"Exactly. And I'm sure if your father hadn't been wounded, he would've stopped you."

Gomen looked confused. "But Mommy, Grampa Goku told us never to let evil win!"

"Junior's not evil, honey, he just has a lot of his grandfather in him."

"He tried to blast me!" Raine muttered, scrunching up her small face. "That's evil!"

"No, it's just very, very bad," Sasami replied. She hated it when they ganged up on her like this. And Gohan was always conveniently gone, for some reason.

Godin smirked. "C'mon, Mom. Admit that you were proud of me for standing up to Junior."

"It's never good to fight!" she said sternly.

Godin poked her in the ribs. "C'mon, Mom! You know you wanna say it! Go on, I won't tell anyone!"

Sasami frowned. "Godin, I am not going to-"

Gomen and Raine sniffled, tears building up in their little eyes.

Sasami groaned and finally patted Godin's head. "Okay, I'm proud of you for defending your sister, but not for wrecking Reenie's palace."

"So I'm not grounded, right?"

"Wrong. As soon as we get home, no training for a month."

"Aw, Mom! You said you were proud!"

Sasami smiled. "I am. I'll be even prouder when you can prove that you've evolved beyond a Sayian's primal stage."

Godin grumbled under his breath.

* * * * *

"Do you think Reenie's parent's were upset?" Trunks asked.

"No, just a little shocked," Hotaru replied. "No guest has ever damaged the palace. It was pretty unexpected."

"Junior just took it a little too far. He really enjoys being like his grandfather."

Hotaru smirked. "That's an understatement. Even Saturn had her limits."

"Yeah, but she was much easier on the eyes," Trunks pointed out. "I mean, the mini-skirt that was just the right length, and-"

"Trunks. You ARE married. Happily, I had hoped."

"Oh, I'm happy with Yugi. But I can't get her to dress up like a Scout."

"You know, Sakura once battled Saturn in a Sailor outfit. Maybe I could convince her to let you have it."

"WOW! I mean, you'd do that for me?"

Hotaru nodded. "I suppose it would be cruel to take your boyhood fantasies away from you. After all, you only got to see me as Saturn a few times."

"You don't think Li would be curious as to why I'm borrowing his wife's old clothes?"

Hotaru smiled. "Tell him they're for the talent show at the next reunion."

Trunks laughed. "After this year, I'm starting to wonder if there will be another one."

"Oh, I'm sure of that," Hotaru replied. "I just hope Jurai can handle it."

The End!

As I said before, it was fun. I'm still writing anime stories, though. I'll get around to putting Ace & Tarot in a fic, now that I'm starting to focus on CardCaptor stuff. I still dabble in Sailor Moon, so you'll see at least one or two of those popping up. As always, I'll keep the crossovers coming, since I seem to be getting a little better at them. If you'd like to see a story involving any of the kids I came up with (or if you're interested in using them for yourself), just let me know. I'm not selfish with characters, I just ask that you give me credit for creating them. I guess that's it, so happy reading!
