Vash was bored out of his mind. Setsuna left him in the park and went
to take care of some unfinished business, it's not that he minded
being all by himself. This world was magnificent but it sure was
boring just to stay put in the park like Setsuna told him to, and not
to get to see more of this planet. Vash took a deep breath and looked
around. This place of existence was everything compared to his. People
were not suffering without water. Green trees, flowers and grass were
here for everyone to admire them. Sky was blue and the air was fresh.
He sighed and lay down on the bench, feeling overwhelmed by the beauty
around him

Usagi was running through the park desperately trying to find Setsuna.
"I hope I am not late. Well, she did say to get ready and come to the
park, she didn't exactly said what time I should be there, so I am not
late, so there!" She run into the alley and quickly scanned the area.
Besides a bum in the red coat, the place was deserted. Usagi wrinkled
her nose at the sight and continued on her search. A couple of minutes
later she decided to stay in one place and wait for Setsuna to find
her. She took her jacket off and decided to sit on the grass since the
bench was already taken. She spread her jacket on the ground and lay
on it looking into the sky. It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny.
The air held a heavy scent of burned grass and leaves.

Vash casually spread his long body on the bench; his eyes under the
half-closed lids were glued to the little blonde on the grass about 3
feet away from him.

Usagi's hair caught at a flying spider web and she tried to shake it
off. She didn't really like touching it, because she was afraid that
spider could be travelling along with it. So she got off the ground
frantically shaking her head and brushing off her hair. "Eww! Stupid
spider web!" Making a wrong step Usagi felt herself flying in the
nearest bush. Vash raised his eyebrows at the petite teenager who was
waving her arms in the air and then disappeared from the sight.

"Oh, God" - groaned a future ruler of the Crystal Tokyo. "What else is
new? Usagi is falling on her butt AGAIN! Oh, come on, lets have all
the people see me like that, Champion of Justice, on all fours in the
middle of the public park! It's your entire fault, you stupid spider!
A Spider????" Usagi's mouth turned into the perfect "O" as she viewed
a giant black spider only few inches away from her nose and took a big
breath to let out one of her trademark screams. Then she noticed a
pretty white butterfly that was trapped in the web. "Poor thing! Let
me help you! And you stay away from her - she pointed at the spider -
as a champion of Justice I will punish.... She suddenly stopped in the
middle of her famous speech and sat back. "That's not fair. He is
certainly ugly and terrifying, but it's not really his fault that he
is hungry. She felt someone's presence behind her but ignored the
person concentrating on the dilemma before her. The butterfly
frantically moved in the spider web trying to free herself. Usagi dug
into her pocket and fished out a little manicure set with a tiny
scissors. She carefully positioned it in the middle of the spider web
and cut a big hole, separating spider from the butterfly. The person
behind her took in a sharp breath. " See, Setsuna, I can save them
both!" Usagi happily giggled as she saw the butterfly freeing herself
and flying away.

Although the web stuck to the scissors and spider used it as a way to
get onto Usagi's hand. The blonde squeaked, dropped her scissors to
the ground, shook spider off her hand, and jumped at least 3 feet up
in the air knocking Vash off his feet and sending them both to the
ground.

The two proceeded rolling off the small hill and finally came to the
stop with Usagi landing on top of the gunman. "Oh, you are not
Setsuna? Oops!" She let out a small laugh.

"Yeah, right! Do I look like I have a green hair and all eternity long
PMS?"

Vash took a good look at the tiny girl on top of him and for the first
time in his long life felt himself speechless. "Wow, kid - he finally
breathed out, - You are absolutely stunning! Do you need a bodyguard,
or a personal trainer, or or or a..... Dog! I'll be anything! Woof,
Woof!"

Usagi fell into a fit of giggles and rolled off Vash. "Oh, mister, you
are so funny!!!"

She sat up and eyed the stranger in the red coat. Usagi smiled and
gave him her hand: "Hi, I am Tsukino Usagi, and I hope you are not mad
at me for making you fall down like that. So how do you know Setsuna?"

Vash lifted himself off the ground and brushed leaves off his pants. "
Well, it's a really long story, she owns me a lot of favors, I saved
her life a thousand times..." Vash found his gun on the ground that
fell off his belt during their fall and started blowing into it trying
to get the dirt out. He stopped when he saw Usagi froze and slowly
move away from him. 'What's wrong?"

"W..W..What is that? - Usagi shakily pointed at his gun and continued
crawling backwards.

"This? It's a gun! Do you have one of those?"

"You can't have one here unless you have a license or something, you
can hurt someone with this thing!"

Vash laughed: "You have to have one in the place where I live! For
protection, of course "- he quickly added. " It might look scary, but
I've never killed anyone with it, I swear!"

Usagi looked into his honest green eyes and slowly let her breath out.
" So you are the one that Setsuna wanted me to meet with!"

Vash smiled and hand his hand out "Yep, I guess so! I am Vash by the
way!" Usagi blushed and shyly shook his hand. "So, you are that
Champion of Justice old lady was talking about?"

Usagi's giggled "Setsuna? Boy! You are so lucky she can't hear you!"

Setsuna growled behind the bushes where she's been hiding all this
time watching the two: 'When I get my hands on this clown I'll Dead
Scream him so hard he will remember it for the rest of his life!'

"So, if you don't have a gun, Usagi, how do you manage to protect
people in this world? You don't exactly look like an all mighty
gungirl or anything of this kind" - Vash eyed a furiously blushing
Usagi.

"Well, I use a magic crystal"

"That's all?"

"Well, me and my friends also use our Planet attacks and other stuff"
Usagi scowled at Vash, whose face showed a great disbelief. She
fidgeted for a few seconds and then decided something. "It's really
powerful, I'll show you" She opened her star locket with the
ginzuishou.

Setsuna almost fainted in her hiding place. "That little idiot! What
is she doing! If she will transform in front of him, I will never get
this pervert back to his dimension!".

Usagi was about to shout out her transformation phrase when Vash
carefully laid his hand on top of the crystal. Usagi's eyes got as big
as saucers when she felt the ginzuishou respond to the man's touch.

Soft gentle light surrounded them both. Vash closed his eyes and
opened himself to the power of the crystal. Usagi felt herself going
light in the head at someone's energy searching within her. She let
out a muffled scream when both powers combined. She felt her energy
that she lost in the battle 2 days ago completely restored. "What is
this guy! He feels like my ginzuishou! He has the same power! How can
this be?"

Vashes eyes shot open when he recognized the power. "Is she a plant
too? It's unbelievable!" He removed his hand from the crystal and
grabbed a still dazed Usagi in a bear hug. "We are both alike! I am so
happy!" Tears were streaming from his eyes. "But you are so much
stronger!" He suddenly ripped her jacket off looking over her arms and
shoulders and happily squealed: 'Oh, great! You can even regenerate
yourself, it's amazing!"

Usagi tried to free herself from the man's grasp: "ARE YOU NUTS?! WHAT
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" When she saw him lift her tank top to
reveal her smooth stomach Usagi landed a punch in his face.

Vash fell backwards. "Ouch! That really hurt, you know!"

"You are such a pervert!" Usagi pulled her jacket back on and prepared
to punch Vash again if needed.

Vash looked at her flushed and angry face and stopped whining. "Oh, I
am sorry, I am not like that, it's just I've got so excited that you
can heal yourself so fast! When still angry Usagi didn't respond back
to him he sighed and took off his coat.

Usagi jumped away from the weird men and prepared to take off when he
opened his shirt. "Hey!" She stopped dead on her tracks. There was no
place on his body that wasn't covered with ugly scars and scratches.
"Oh. My. God." Usagi slowly placed herself down next to him.

Vash sadly looked up at her and let out a small laugh. "I really don't
like showing this to the girls. I am really sorry I scared you. I
didn't mean it."

Usagi's eyes were full of pain. She placed her small hand on his
chest. "Is it hurt?" Vash carefully removed her hand and put back on
his coat. "Is there anything I can do to help? I am sure if I use..."

"No," Vash interruped sharply. "you used a lot of energy in the last
battle, you almost went over your limit, if you keep doing that,
you'll end up looking like me or even worse!"

Usagi covered her mouth with her hand. "How do you know all that?"

"I felt it." He simply replied.
