Author's Welcome:
Heya! Gee, it's been so long since I've been on fanfiction.net, it's pathetic! Which reminds me.THEY TOOK OFF MY BEST STORY! IT"S GONE!!! I DON"T HAVE IT SAVED ON MY COMPUTER! D*MN IT! ::coughs:: AAAnywaaaay, Just so you don't think I'm a wet-behind-the-ears author, I HAVE watched the Trigun that has been translated into English so far, all 26 episodes. 3 TIMES!! It's been awhile though. So please be lenient. I ALSO know that only one 'season' has been translated; there ARE 8 seasons of Trigun in Japan. 'Season' being a loose term, since in Japan they have a different opinion of T.V. 'seasons'. IF you think it is becoming ::shudders:: , a MARY-SUE, please tell me. I'd prefer it if you did it kindly, but if you wish to be bitchy about it you can flame as much as you like. I honestly don't care. I used to, but I don't anymore. Ahh, I'm babbling, aren't I? Damn. Well, I got the idea off a Trigun SI fic I read, The first Trigun fic I read, called, I believe, "A $$120,000,000,000 couple"(It's My Favorite! I LOVE SI fics! That's why I'm kinda using the same idea). I admit: It's pretty much the same: Girl from our world, gets sucked into the Wonderful World of Trigun, falls in love with Vash, he with her, etc. But, it's different though. It will be a little more serious in some ways, but that's just me. My character will be a little like Kristan, I guess. She can be overly sarcastic, and will thoroughly enjoy calling Vash names. I really hope the Author of that story doesn't hate me. I secretly hope she likes it. I also secretly hope she doesn't decide to take Wolfwood's gun and hunt me down like the miserable, horrible little eleven tailed fox I am. BTW, I don't own Trigun, (no matter how much I wish I did) Yasuhiro Nightow does. That's the person who created Trigun. Damn! This Author's welcome is waaay too long. Oh well! On with the story!

********************** The $$60,000,000,000 Rose **********************

Saria was not your normal teenager. She hung out in cemeteries alone, she read books over and over, and she was deathly afraid of potatoes (which will be explained later). But, in some ways she WAS normal. She loved anime, playing ice hockey, and going to the mall. Then one stormy day, one of her most treasured dreams came true..She finally got a Trigun DVD box set!

************************

Saria was walking home from the mall, carrying her precious burden tucked tightly inside a suede leather rucksack along with some other things she had bought. She began humming the ending them song for G-Gundam, when it began to rain. Hard...

"Oh CRAP!" Saria ran hell-bent towards her house. "Crapcrapcrapcrap."

Skidding to a halt on her driveway she hurried towards the front door, unlocked, and hurried in.

"Thank you, grandmother!" The small house was her grandmother's, who was letting Saria stay there, alone, because the kind old lady had another one in a nearby town. "Geesh, you'd think I'd be used to all this rain, being in Louisiana and all.."

Kicking open her bedroom door, She flipped on the light and was rewarded with sight of her white ferret, Pirotess, asleep on Saria's Playstation 2. In response to the sudden light, Pirotess gave a rasping hiss and rolled onto her back.

"Piro, you better get up unless you want to become the world's fuzziest hockey puck.". Piro ignored her and continued sleeping.

Setting the rucksack on floor, she picked up the snoozing ferret, placed Piro gently on her shoulder, and flipped on her TV. Grabbing the rucksack again, Saria began rooting around, and, after about a minute or so, finally pulled out what she was looking for; a brand new, Special Edition, Trigun DVD Box Set! She flopped onto the bed and hugged it to her chest protectively, squealing.

Then proceeded to rip the plastic covering off violently, pull out the fist DVD case, and rip the plastic off that as well.

"Oh, working at the Rec. Center for nine months was soo worth it! Now, for the moment of glory!"

She popped the DVD in the Playstation, and put it on DVD mode. Outside, the rain got even worse. Then, right as she was pushing the rucksack away, her hand still on the controller, lightning struck the power box outside, causing a sever power surge, electrocuting her, and Pirotess.

She blacked out, but not before she saw the image of the TV screen, and a swirling vortex of color.

******

Saria woke up to the loud, raspy hiss of Pirotess, and sweltering heat. She groaned; her head felt like it was going to burst!

"Wha-? Piro..you.little.bitch.I'm gonna..Huh?" Opening her eyes, she saw a clear blue sky, and saw."Two suns? No wonder it's hot." Groaning again, she sat up. Piro was on her haunches, her lithe white body shaking. She emitted a small squeak and hid in one of Saria's huge pant pockets.

"Sand? Where the hell did my room go? Wait.two suns..no sign of green anywhere.." It dawned on her. "I'm in Trigun? On Gunsmoke?" As she gazed at the sky in disbelief, a loud gunshot and loud voices interrupted her thoughts. She quickly went to see what it was, grabbing her rucksack, which had been lying next to her.

Peeping over a rock, her eyes grew huge.

Vash the Stampede had just directed someone's shot at a rock. Then, a giant boomerang crashed through the rock he was standing next to. He got out of the way in time, but the guy standing on the rock wasn't so lucky. She got a good view of the guy on the rock. She gagged. His face was so swollen and beat up..

'I think I'm gonna be sick.' She clutched her rucksack close, but not enough to hurt Pirotess. The man who's shot Vash had deflected, and, Saria was guessing, his friends, grabbed Vash and tied him up.

The men laughed. "We finally caught you, Vash the Stampede."

"Couldn't you just be a little more gentler?" Vash whined.

The men ignored him.

Saria's heart was going so fast it was most likely going to burst any second. She needed a plan. She saw the beaten up guy's machine gun, but shook her head. That wouldn't work. She knew a to shoot a gun okay, but she had no idea on how to shoot a machine gun.

Then she saw the variously sized rocks nearby. She mainly played hockey, but she knew how to throw a baseball, thanks to her older sister, Sarah.

She gathered several of the rocks, slung her rucksack over her shoulder, and flexed her right arm. Grabbing a egg-sized rock, she took aim at one of the men standing near Vash, drew her arm back and.

*THW~~ACK*

The guy went down, a swollen knot the size of her fist on the side of the man's head. Almost instantly, chaos erupted. Men began yelling as Saria took aim again. She knocked another man out, and as she drew her arm back for another 'kill', she felt pressure on the back of her head and heard a cold, male voice saying, "Drop it." Her body went cold. The rock slowly fell out of her hand with a loud clatter. "Get up with your hands in the air." She did, her rucksack slung over her shoulder. Two of the several men left standing came over and roughly tied her wrists together, then shoved her next to Vash.

'I hate my life.'She looked at Vash. "Hey, genius, don't you have any good ideas?"

Vash had been looking at her with a slightly shocked, slightly confused expression. "Why are you asking me?" he whined.

"Because YOU are supposed to be Vash the Stampede. That's why I asked you, you ninny."

"Oh."

She turned away sighed mournfully. 'What an idiot..He's cute, and he's my favorite character.but an incredible idiot.'

Then, she heard feminine voice. She looked up. Milly and Meryl had arrived.

She watched as they began to make idiots of themselves. Saria looked around. All the men were distracted. She slipped her hands out of the ropes 'binding' them, and turned to Vash.

"You know, this would be a lovely time to run away."

Vash looked at her, unsure, looked back at the other girls, then nodded. He slipped out of his ropes as well. He got up and began to sneak away. Saria followed him, readjusting her bag as she got up. She noticed that Milly and Meryl were also starting to run away.

They all started to run when bullets whizzed past them. Vash ran next to Meryl, while Saria ran next to Milly.

Vash had somehow grabbed the box of doughnuts Meryl had been carrying, and was stuffing them in his mouth. Saria resisted the strong urge to laugh as he dodged every attempt Meryl made to get them. She somehow found the air to talk and run at the same time. "Hey..won't.those.guys.follow.us?.If. we.go to.a town.people.might.get hurt!"

Vash stopped in his tracks, doughnut in hand. Saria nearly ran into him, but stopped just in time. Vash turned to look at her. He was about to say something, but Meryl, who had stopped and turned , interrupted him.

"Your right, Miss..Miss."

"Saria."

"Your absolutely right, Miss Saria. We can't let them do that. I've got an idea. I'll give you and your thieving friend $$15 to go and warn the town."

"You're going back there? Alone?" Vash asked in disbelief.

"We have to," Meryl replied. "it's our job."

That said, Meryl motioned to Mill y and they went up the hill again.

Saria looked at Vash. "Go after them. I can warn the town."

Vash looked at her with an odd expression.

"What? I sure as hell can't fight against anybody armed a gun, much less a bunch of guys armed with guns and on god knows what else. You do it."

Vash nodded slowly, with the same odd expression, and started up the hill.

"Meet me in town, Ok?"

He nodded again, and hurried faster up the hill.

************* 3 Iles later.. *************

Dragging her bag along the ground, Saria groaned. Pirotess, who had poked her head out awhile back and who was now riding on her master's shoulder, licked Saria's ear and made a soft squeaking noise.

"Yeah, I know Piro. I need to warn the town, not complain." Taking a deep breath, Saria screamed as loud as she could.

"RUN! VASH THE STAMPEDE IS COMING! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!"

The townspeople stopped and stared at her before they screamed and ran. In a matter of only three minutes, the town was completely deserted.

"THAT was absurdly easy, right Piro? Better get in the bag." Gently lifting the ferret up she put her in the bag. She hurried into the shade of a porch, and sat down, gently setting the rucksack next to her.

A few moments after she sat down, the cliff that overlooked the town, fell. Not soon after, showed up.

He kept looking around until he spotted her. He waved and walked over.

"Where is everyone?" He asked, looking around.

"I don't know. They all ran when I said Vash the Stampede is coming. Nobody was hurt, anyway."

He sighed with obvious relief. "That's good."

"Where are you going now, Mr. Stampede?"

"I don't know. And call me Vash."

"Okay." She slowly got up, and brushed herself off. "So Vash, can I go with you? Please?"

Vash gave her a serious look. "No. I really don't think that's a good idea."

Saria rolled her eyes. " Oh, fine." She said sarcastically. " I'll just wander around in the desert, completely alone. And when I run into a giant flesh-eating worm and get eaten, or get captured by bandits and die, I'll think of you as I die a slow, painful death, and how you said 'No. I think it's too dangerous.'"

"I never said that."

"You implied it."

"..."

"So, can I go with you or not? I ain't gonna stand here all day. "

'I think I'm going to regret this.' Vash sighed. "I guess so."

Well? How was it? I know it looks like I kinda copied from "A $$120,000,000,000 Couple", but I didn't! I'm sorry if it did. It just looks that way. The rest of the story will be different, I swear! Please R&R, ok? Please don't hate me! I give all the credit to the Author of "A $$120,000,000,000 Couple"! She inspired to write again! Thank you for not killing me! ..You know, now that I think about it, It seems kinda blocky, if you know what I mean. I'm sorry if Saria seems like a Mary-Sue chara, but believe me, she's not. She gets really bitchy when she gets drunk. She is afraid of potatoes. She's only had two boyfriends, and she is 19 years old. She hates dislikes tall people.
