Disclaimers: I do not own DBZ or Sailor Moon. This story was written for the fun of it and no profits were made

Warnings: None that I can think of, major fluff.

Notes: This story takes place about six months or so after "Somewhere I Belong" You should read that story first to understand what's going on. Also, we'll just pretend that for the sake of the Androids and Majin Buu terrorizing Trunks' world, that he never heard of Valentines day nor does he know what it is. I don't know if DBZ people had Valentines day or not, but if so then this was the reason why Trunks never knew about it. Chibi-Usa will not be mentioned because she is back in her time visiting her parents. Also, I'm fully aware that Valentines day passed a while ago, so no one should worry about my sanity. This was just the only thing I could think of for another story on these two after an extremely long writers block concerning them. But at least my writing has improved : ) So, without anything to say further, the long awaited Side Story.

P.S: Sorry, but it kind of sucks.

A Side Story: Be My Valentine?

It was an unusually warm and sunny day out considering it was February the fourteenth, but Ami wasn't complaining. And neither was Usagi, Darien, Minako, Makoto or Rei.

They all decided to take a walk in the downtown area for some Valentines day shopping. And poor Darien had been duped into carrying their bags. But only because of the occasion, so the girls decided to take full advantage of his generosity and pack him like a mule.

He could do nothing but mumble about his own stupidity beneath the mountain of boxes and bags he was carrying, vowing to never make an offer like that ever again while he struggled with the load. Walking in between the lot of them, with Usagi and Ami on his right, and the rest of the girls walking on his left.

Usagi and Ami were the most considerate with their bags though. They tried to keep their shopping light, and at least carry one of their own bags for him.

"So what are you guys doing for Valentines day?" Usagi asked, turning to Rei, Makoto and Minako.

Rei blushed. "Well, Chad and I are just going to be spending some time alone. And we might head out for a movie later." She replied. It wasn't all that long ago when she finally gave into the shaggy haired young man's pleas to go out with him for a date. And Rei must of have a good time because they continued to see each other since then. And everyone could tell how happy they were together with Rei's constant blushing at the mention of his name.

Makoto smiled broadly at her reply. "Really? That's great! I'm just going out to dinner with a friend." She shrugged before getting a dreamy look in her eyes. "But he does look a lot like my old boyfriend." She said with a loving sigh.

Everyone groaned at that. "Everyone reminds you of your old boyfriend!" Usagi said tiredly, and Darien nodded his head in agreement. But no one could see it behind the bags he was still carrying. He was so far being rather silent in the middle of all this love talk. He preferred to stay out of girl talks anyway.

"What about you, Minako?" Usagi asked. "Anything special planned?"

Minako blinked at her, realizing what had been asked of her, as well as the fact that all eyes were now on her for an answer. "Um... well..." She stuttered out, not too sure of what to say. All she had was a simple heart shaped Valentine card in her backpack addressed to Trunks and a letter pronouncing her undying love for him. But there was no way she could tell them about that! This was so far the only thing she could think of to get his attention fixed on her and she didn't want to let them in on that.

She placed a broad smile on her face, thinking of what she should say. "Oh, nothing really. Artemis is taking Luna out for a night on the town tonight, so I pretty much have the house all to myself." She then blushed, hoping that she wasn't giving too much away with her next statement. "If things go right I should have a new boyfriend by tonight."

Ami smiled at her luck, thinking she had found someone nice to spend the night with. "That's great, Minako. I hope all goes well for you." She said sincerely, not seeing the small wince of guilt the blonde gave off at her words before she turned to Usagi. "What about you? What are you and Darien doing today?" She asked innocently.

The blonde haired girl blushed at that, and if it weren't for the many packages he was carrying, they all would have seen Darien blush as well. "Um... Well, we'll just keep that to ourselves." She replied, a nervous grin on her face.

Everyone sweat dropped at that, and they all decided to themselves that it was best not to pry for anymore information at that point.

Usagi didn't like the air of embarrassment on her though, so she was quick to change the subject. "What about you, Ami?" She asked. "Anything planned with Trunks tonight?" She hoped that would be enough to take all thoughts off of her and Darien for the moment.

Ami's brow furrowed in thought. Trying to figure out how she should answer that. So far Trunks hadn't said anything about Valentines day, so she wasn't too sure that they were doing anything at all. "I'm not too sure actually." She replied a little sadly. "I kind of think he forgot about it."

Everyone abruptly stopped walking when they heard that while Ami went on ahead a few steps before she noticed them and stopped as well. Turning back and wondering what they were doing.

Darien put the packages he was holding onto the ground before stretching out his back. He needed to be able to see her for this. "Are you sure about that?" He asked, deciding to get in on the conversation to defend his friend. "He doesn't seem like the type who would forget about something like this." He stated.

"Ya, that's true." Rei quickly added. "I mean, he's a really serious guy. There's no way he forgot!"

Ami gave them all a light smile of thanks, but just before she could agree with them, she was stopped.

"Hey Tenshi!" Trunks cried out happily after suddenly appearing from the sky, grabbing her around the waist from behind before lifting her onto his shoulder with a big smile. He didn't know why, but he was in an overly good mood today. And he missed Ami and really wanted to see her. Twenty four hours of being away from her was just too much!

Ami blinked down at him while everyone else fought off the urge to do a face vault. Rei was just in the middle of claiming how serious Trunks could be before he came in from the sky and swooped Ami right off her feet. So much for serious.

Minako was just trying not to let her jealously seep into her looks. She didn't want anyone to know that she still had feelings for the lavender haired warrior just yet. And especially not in front of Ami. But the sight of the blue haired girl on his shoulder while he smiled up at her simply made her fume, and she had to try her very best to keep anyone from noticing.

Trunks was quick to catch on to the fact that he'd just interrupted something important, and his face quickly dropped from the happy-go-lucky expression he had to one of confusion. "Uh, what's going on?" He asked, feeling suddenly bad about something.

Ami sighed, getting his attention again. "Trunks, do you know what today is?" She asked, biting her lip in the hopes that he didn't forget and that it was just some stupid mistake on her part.

Trunks blinked up at her, more confused than ever. "Uh, February the fourteenth?" He asked.

His blue haired tenshi looked at him expectantly. "And...?"

He thought for a moment, trying to think about any holidays and things he could have forgotten. It wasn't her birthday, and they weren't dating long enough for it to be their anniversary. So what could it be?

Trunks shrugged, looking back up at her. "I don't know, tenshi." He said.

Usagi was a little stunned with this revelation, as was Minako, who was having trouble believing that Trunks could forget such an important holiday. When she got Trunks to start dating her the first thing she would do was make him memorize all the romantic holidays so she wouldn't be a victim of such a horrible embarrassment.

"You mean," Usagi started. "That you really don't know what today is?" She asked.

Trunks suddenly felt like he was six inches tall, now knowing that he had done something wrong but not knowing what it was. He shook his head to answer her.

"I see." Ami said, sighing a little and feeling hurt but deciding not to hold it against him. She slid down from her spot on his shoulder before landing gracefully on her feet and reaching up to kiss his cheek lightly.

"I'll see you later. Okay?" She said, walking away without waiting for him to answer.

Now Trunks really did feel horrible, his mind scrambling to try and figure out what was so special about this day that would make Ami sad that he had forgotten it. And he couldn't have felt worse when his mind turned up blank.

Usagi and the others walked up to him in shock, and Usagi was the first to speak. "You really don't know what today is?" She asked, her mouth hanging open in shock when he shook his head no. Even he knew that today was February fourteenth! He said it himself!

"How could you not know?!" She demanded of him. "It's Valentines day! Everyone knows what day that's on!" She said, earning a nod of agreement from the rest of the group aside from Darien, who only shook his head at Usagi's yelling in slight disapproval.

Trunks blinked down at her. "Valentines day?" He asked in confusion. "What's Valentines day?"

There was an instant round of sweat drops followed by some violent face vaults at his innocent question, and this only fueled his confusion and irritation further. If Ami was upset over this Valentines day thing then he wanted to know how to fix it!

Darien was the first to get up, shaking his head as if he should have known. "I guess there wasn't a Valentines day back where you came from, huh Trunks?" He asked, smiling as he now understood the problem. He got to his feet and approached him, placing a friendly arm around his shoulder.

Trunks raised a brow at him. "If there was, then I didn't know about it." He stated simply.

It was at those words that everyone understood the problem at hand.

This wasn't about Trunks being insensitive, it was about the differences of their dimensions. He didn't forget Valentines day, he just never heard of it.

Minako smiled brightly, jerking a confident thumb at herself. "Well if you need to know what it is then I should tell you!" She stated excitedly. Who better to teach the lessons of Valentines day then the goddess of love herself?

Trunks blinked at her. "All right then, what is it?" He asked, trying to keep the nervous twitch out of his eyes when she sauntered up to him. Almost seductively before starting to draw invisible circles on his chest and making eyes at him.

Everyone looked at her for doing that in disapproval, but said nothing with the idea that she was only trying to seem romantic to give more effect to her explanation of the holiday. After all, she knew that he and Ami were together, so it wasn't like she was trying anything.

"Valentines day is a day for couples and young romantics. The romantics express their love for the person they like by offering cards, or romantic poetry." She explained, batting her eyes at him. Trunks tried to take a step back at the uncomfortable feeling she was giving him, be she simple took a step forward. "And the couples celebrate the love they already have by spending time together doing romantic things for each other."

That caught Trunks' attention. "Really? Like what?" He asked, quickly gaining an interest.

Minako was practically glowing at this point, stars coming into her eyes at the ideas she was getting in her head. The thoughts of the many romantic and loving things done on Valentines day sent shivers up her spine. And hell, all those things would be so much better if she had Trunks to share them with.

::Minako's Daydream::

"Oh Minako! I don't know what I was thinking when I spent all that time with Ami!" Trunks cried out, kneeling before her on the soft grass of the park with her hands held in his. "How could my eyes have been blind to such a beauty all this time? You're the one for me, please forgive my error!" He begged.

Minako simply glowed as she gazed down at him, giving him a light smile as she nodded her head. How could she say no to him? Especially when he looked so good kneeling there, his sword strapped to his back, giving the added prince effect. "Of course I forgive you. I love you." She said, blushing madly as he got to his feet before taking her into his arms and holding her close.

"I love you too." He said seductively, leaning in for a soft kiss that she gladly complied to.

::End Daydream::

Minako was practically drooling while she was in her own little world, staring at nothing in particular as her face turned a bight red with the mad blush she was getting.

Trunks was officially weirded out with that since it seemed to happen right out of nowhere. So Darien and Usagi finished the explanation for him while Makoto and Rei sweat dropped as they tried to snap Minako out of whatever strange little world she was in.

"So that's what I should do?" He asked, and Darien and Usagi both nodded their heads in approval.

"Ami wouldn't expect too much." The dark haired man said to him, a hand on his chin in thought. "So that simple dinner along with a bouquet of nice flowers should be good enough." He said.

Trunks grinned. "I have something a lot better actually." He said, lifting his Capsule corp jacket before reaching into one of the inside pockets and pulling out a dark velvet ring box.

Usagi gasped in a mixture of shock and joy when he opened it up to show them the gorgeous diamond ring inside. Sparkling with pride in the sunlight and giving off a light impression of the color blue.

"I already asked her to marry me, but I haven't given her a ring yet." He explained, and Usagi squealed in delight, getting the attention of Rei and Makoto who abandoned their attempts to snap Minako out of her trance to go and see what all the fuss was about.

When they saw the gorgeous ring, they all went into a fit of squeals and delightful giggle filled chatter.

"Why did you tell us you proposed?!" Makoto demanded of him while she fought for a better view of the shining jewel in front of her.

He sweat dropped at their odd behavior. "Well, we were both just waiting for the right time to bring it up I guess." He explained a little sheepishly. "But since this holiday was meant for this sort of thing, I guessed it would be better to just show you all now."

Rei was just staring at the thing in awe. "Wow, where did you get it? Or how did you even afford it?! It looks like its worth a lot of money!" She asked, not taking her eyes off the glowing ring.

Trunks looked down at it fondly. "It belonged to my mother." He said, earning everyone's attention on him now instead of the ring he held out for them to see.

"Your mother?" Darien asked. And Trunks nodded his head.

"Ya, she told me that when my father found out she was pregnant with me, he couldn't get her any decent saiyan mate symbols because Vegeta-sei had been dead for so long, and he couldn't buy her a ring because he had no money. So he went into the mountains and made this ring himself out of the gold and diamonds he found there by using his Ki." He explained, everyone listening intently. Finding the story to be so romantic.

"She said that it was the only thing he ever did for her that showed how much he cared for her. Because he was always too proud to come right out and tell her his feelings." He finished. He didn't want to tell them how he got the ring though, so he gracefully left that part out.

When his mother crumbled into the dust she became at his touch, the only thing on her that didn't turn into a fine powder was the ring he now held. And so he kept it as a reminder of his parents.

Usagi sighed dreamily. "Wow, that sounds so perfect!" She sighed, and the others all nodded their heads in agreement.

"Well? What are you waiting for?!" Rei demanded sharply. "Go and get ready for your date tonight!" She all but shouted before shooing him away.

He just grinned at the pushy priestess before taking off into the air. He needed to get everything set up for tonight.

Minako only seemed to snap out of her little love trance when Trunks was no longer around. She blinked at his absence, looking around for him and becoming all the more confused when she found him gone. "Uh, where'd Trunks go?" She asked, looking to the others for her answer.

Usagi gave her an incredulous look. "You completely spaced out for a good five minutes! Darien and I had to finish explaining to Trunks what Valentines day is, and then he left to get his date with Ami ready." She explained, crossing her arms.

Minako was just about ready to panic when she heard that. Trunks getting a date ready with Ami on Valentines day?! She had to stop it!

"I gotta go now, bye!!" She all but shouted before taking off in a run in the other direction, leaving a trail of dust behind her as she went.

The others simply shook their heads at her before heading on their own way. "She's getting weirder and weirder." Usagi mused with a shake of her head.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ami had finally finished her studies down at the public library, and decided after stretching her back out to just head home. The sun was starting to set and it had been a long and tedious day. She had already done enough studying that day to last her a month and was really tired. Bed and rest sounded extremely appealing right about now.

She took the elevator to the sixteenth floor of her apartment building before getting off and heading to her door. Her mother wasn't home, as usual, so she wasn't too worried about coming home so late.

Ami dropped her book bag rather unceremoniously on the floor before heading to her room. Still a little depressed that Trunk had forgotten Valentines day and that they weren't going to be doing anything special for it.

Though she tried to tell herself that it wasn't a big deal. Why did this particular day matter so much anyway? It was only something that the card companies had made up to make extra money, so she shouldn't care at all.

But she did care.

Opening the door to her room with a sigh and flicking on the light switch, she was more than just a little shocked to find a cool breeze meet her face, the window wide open with the curtains blowing around. She rushed over to close her window to keep the cold night air out, wondering how it got to be open to begin with and trying not to become frightened at the thought that an intruder may have been in her apartment.

But then, why would an intruder break in to her apartment just to open her window? That didn't make the least amount of sense. Unless Trunks came over and forgot to close the window before leaving. But why would he do that...

Ami turned to her bed, getting ready to plop herself down on it when she caught sight of the beautiful blue gown, spread out nicely for her to see on her bed.

She gave out a gasp of awe at the very sight of it. It was absolutely breathtaking. Fit for a ballroom dance even.

She looked up and down it, unable to fully take in it's beauty. But then, her eyes finally passed over the matching blue high heel shoes laying on top of it, and holding down an envelope addressed to her.

She picked up the envelope and opened it up, her hands shaking and tears of undeniable happiness streaming down her cheeks when she found it had been sent from Trunks.

–Ami

Meet me in Tokyo Park at eleven o'clock, wear the dress and shoes.
I love you.

Trunks

Ami couldn't help but laugh through her tears when she finished reading, holding the letter close to her chest and vowing to run out and have it framed when she had the chance. To think, she had been worried over nothing. Trunks didn't forget Valentines day at all!

But still, she couldn't help but wonder what they would be doing in the middle of the park. It was a beautiful forest area with cherry blossoms in the middle of blooming early this year. A romantic setting yes, but she would have to find him by sensing his Ki, and no doubt be flying there as well since it was all the way across town.

She took a glance at the clock to check the time. And she just about panicked when she found that it was nine thirty five!

Her eyes widened, and she was quick to throw the letter into her top drawer before picking out her best perfume and heading into the bathroom for a shower. She had to get ready for her date tonight!

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Trunks scrambled around his room in the temple in near panic. Everything was all set up for him back at the space he cleared in the park for his date with Ami, so now all he had to do was get ready for it.

The only problem was, he had less than an hour to pick out something suitable to wear and be there before her. And from the looks of his small closet with the few things in it, it appeared as if he didn't have much to wear at all.

All he had was his old Capsule corp clothes, along with the uniform he wore around the temple and a few other casual pieces of clothing. He completely forgot to get something for himself to wear when he went out and bought that dress for Ami. He was stuck.

Doing what sounded to be a mixture of a sigh and groan of complete annoyance, he just pulled out his tank top and jean jacket along with his baggy black pants and orange boots. They were the best he had so they would have to do. Hopefully Ami wouldn't get insulted at his choice of clothing for a romantic dinner. But he knew that she wouldn't hold it against him. She wasn't the type. Much to his advantage.

There was a knock at his door. "Trunks, are you ready yet?" It was Rei, and he could sense Minako with her.

He sighed again, looking himself over in the mirror in complete disappointment. "I guess so." He called back glumly. Having thoughts of bringing his sword just for the regal look it would give him while it was strapped to his back.

The door slid open, and he could hear Rei let out a gasp of shock. "You're not ready! You're not even dressed yet!" She cried out.

He turned to look at her, seeing how she was all dressed up for her date with Chad, even her hair was done up. While Minako was just wearing a simple yellow sun dress with a matching purse. Nothing overdone on her part. And she too looked a little shocked at his choice of clothing.

Rei looked around his room, searching for something. "Where are your clothes for tonight?" She asked, turning her gaze back to him.

"You're looking at them." He replied, raising his arms before letting them fall back to his sides for her to see.

Both pairs of eyes widened, so he explained himself. "I don't have anything else. This is the best I have." He said, hoping she wouldn't berate him for not thinking ahead like he should have.

Minako was actually inwardly delighted. Looking her prince over while trying to keep the wide smile of approval off her face. To her, this only showed how little he must care for Ami if he wasn't even willing to dress up for their date on Valentines day.

Rei's shoulders seemed to sink. "You don't have anything else to wear?" She asked disbelievingly. And he nodded his head.

The raven haired priestess thought for a moment. There was nothing around the temple he could wear that would be considered suitable. And while he and Chad were about the same height, Trunks' muscular body would obviously make anything Chad gave him to wear seem way to small. There wasn't time to ask anyway.

The then snapped her fingers, a thought of how she could help suddenly coming to her. "It's not the best idea in the world, but if you were to wear your sword you'd at least look a little more like an official warrior." She said, and Trunks grinned at that.

"I was actually thinking of doing that, glad to know you think it's a good idea too." He said, moving over to an open drawer before pulling out his sword amulet. Minako frowned at that, she didn't want Rei to help Trunks look good for Ami. If anything he should only be looking good for her!

Trunks didn't want to spend his entire night with Ami as a super saiyan, so when he held the small amulet in the palm of his hand, he only added a little bit of his energy to it in order to make it transform back to its normal size before he flipped it behind him and clipped it to his back.

"Better?" He asked, the grin still in place.

Rei clapped her hands together before smiling brightly at him with a nod of her head, and Minako did the same. Whether or not he was going off to see Ami at the moment she couldn't help but agree that he did look like a living God.

"Well, good luck then Trunks," Rei said, walking up to him as fast and as gracefully as she could in her high heels before giving him a friendly kiss on the cheek. "Chad's waiting for me outside, and I have to go now." She finished heading for the door before giving him a final goodbye wave as she disappeared.

Minako found herself blinking her blue eyes in confusion. Why would she wish him luck? Weren't they already together? Or perhaps they fell on hard times and they were now trying to patch things up?

She tried not to grin at the thought. That would only make her job all the easier. But then again, what were the odds that it would be that simple?

Trunks sighed, looking himself over in the mirror one last time. "Well, I guess I'm off." He said to her, heading for the door.

"Wait!" She cried out, stopping him before he could get away.

He stopped in the doorway, turning his head back at her and wondering what she wanted. If he stayed any longer than he would be late for his date with Ami. "What is it?" He asked.

She bit her bottom lip, trying to find the right words to say and praying that she didn't blow her chance. "I have something important I need to tell you." She said, gripping her purse tightly. For inside was the card and letter she had made and planned on giving to him. Hopefully, he would see things a lot clearer when she told him and then start going out with her.

Trunks blinked at her. Trying to think about whether or not he should stay and listen to whatever it was she had to say and risk being late, or hurt her feelings and blow her off until later.

He tried to suppress his groan, coming to a decision. "Alright, but can you be quick? I want to give Ami her ring." He said, stepping back into the room.

Minako's eyes widened. "R-ring?" She asked shakily. What could he be giving her a ring for?

He smiled at her broadly, pulling the ring box out of his jacket to show her. "Ya, you were a little dazed when I was showing this to the others, but it's Ami's engagement ring. We're getting married!" He stated to her happily, not realizing the pain he was causing to the blonde with that one simple statement.

Minako felt like she had just died on the inside. Feeling a painful lump forming deep in her throat that made it hard for her to swallow as she fought back tears.

They were getting married. And he had the ring in his hands, ready to give to Ami at that very moment. Her heart sank as she suddenly felt very stupid about her little plan to try and break them up. With nothing but a Valentines day card and a letter with her feelings for him jotted down on it to back her up.

How is it that even she, the goddess of love, didn't notice that their love wasn't some trivial fling, but an actual serious love. And it had to be serious if they were getting married, so there was nothing she could do about that now was there?

"What do you think?" Trunks asked, not seeming to notice how upset she became in his carefree state.

She tried her best to keep a straight face to him when she looked him in the eye. "It's beautiful, Trunks." Was all she could manage to say.

Trunks then pocketed the item. "Sorry about that, but what was it that you wanted to say?" He asked, feeling a little sheepish for interrupting her like that.

She sighed, thinking of something to quickly say. She then gently took one of his hands into hers, a few tears shining in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. For a split second, Trunks became worried. But then she spoke. "I just wanted to say how happy I am for you two." She said, forcing a smile on her face in response to his bright grin. "Good luck, I hope she accepts your ring." She said, reaching up a little to kiss his cheek.

Trunks couldn't help but blush through his bright smile, thinking that she was only getting all emotional like this because of her happiness for him. Gohan had once explained to him that females could be like that sometimes, so there was nothing to be worried about.

"Thanks Minako, and I hope everything goes well with you tonight too." He said, pulling her in for a loose hug before letting go to trot out of the room. Leaving her alone there.

Minako could see him flying away from the temple through his window. And as he disappeared into the night sky before her very watery eyes, she brought out her card and letter from her purse before tearing them in half.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When Ami landed in the spot that she sensed Trunks to be in, it was even a full two seconds after her feet had touched the ground did a pair of hands cover up her eyes, startling her just a little.

"Happy Valentines day." Trunks whispered into her ear, kissing her cheek and earning him a delighted giggle.

Trunks kept her eyes closed beneath his one hand as he used the other to pull out a blindfold from his pocket to gently tie over her eyes. Once again, Ami giggled. "What's going on?" She asked when he was finished with the blindfold, a smile of amusement on her face.

"You'll see." He whispered to her mischievously, coming to the front of her and taking her hands into his while leading her deeper into the park. And while he took her, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked. All dolled up in her dress that was clinging to her curves perfectly and practically sparkling in the moonlight.

It wasn't a full moon out, so he didn't have to worry about changing into an oozaru if he looked up at it.

"We're almost there." He said to her, continually brushing his thumbs over her hands. And Ami only became all the more excited at the possibilities of where they were going. Making it all the harder to contain the feeling.

When Trunks finally stopped, he took a quick glance at his surroundings to make sure that nothing was out of place before he went to take off Ami's blindfold. Satisfied that the animals hadn't gotten to any of it, he turned his head back to face her.

"Uh, just a forewarning, I'm not exactly dressed to the occasion." He said, hoping that she wouldn't get upset with him over it and trying to remind himself that she wasn't the type to do that.

Ami would have blinked beneath her blindfold if her eyes weren't already closed. "What do you mean?" She asked, hearing him sigh before he took off the blindfold for her.

She blinked her eyes a couple of times, trying to adjust to the dim lighting before she could focus on him. He was wearing his old Capsule corp clothes with his sword strapped to his back, looking a little guilty about it too. She instantly understood, smiling while he fidgeted. He just didn't have anything to wear for tonight.

"Ami, I'm sorry about this but--"

She silenced him with a quick kiss to the lips, smiling up at him lightly when they separated. "You look great." She said, calming his thoughts as he grinned down broadly at her. Glad that she wasn't mad at him as her fingers entwined in his.

Ami then took a look at where Trunks had taken her, and she couldn't but gasp at the sight. It was just so beautiful!

They were in a clearing near the lake, dark with the night but reflecting the moon beautifully for her to see while garden lamps hung in the surrounding trees and fireflies surrounded them. A small patio table with a white table clothe covering was just ahead on the grassy area with two chairs and plates set up with a picnic basket on the top.

Trunks let go of her hands before walking over next to the table where he had a small stereo set up. He put a tape in and pressed the play button before some slow music came on.

Ami couldn't help the bright smile on her face, knowing how much thought Trunks must have put into all this. Just for her.

He grinned broadly when he stood back up, walking back towards her and stopping in front of her. Bowing a little before holding out his hands. "Care to dance, my princess?" He asked, the broad grin still in place.

Ami laughed out loud, loving the treatment she was getting as she took his hands. "Of course, my prince." She said happily, playing along with his little game as he wrapped an arm around her waist and proceeded to dance with her.

Ami was just in heaven at this point, leaning her head to rest on his chest as he led her around. "I feel a little bad now." She admitted.

He blinked, looking down at her in confusion. "Huh? What for?" He asked.

She looked back up at him. "For thinking that you forgot about Valentines day."

"Oh." He said, trying to think about how he should word what else he had to say. "Look Ami," He started. "This is going to sound a little weird, but earlier today, when you were asking me about today, I really didn't know what you were talking about." He admitted.

She blinked up at him. "Then, you did forget?" She asked, not hurt over it anymore, just surprised that he could forget about Valentines day and still have all this set up so fast.

"Well, no, I just never heard of it before today." He explained. "There wasn't a Valentines day that I knew of back in my old world, so I really didn't know what you were talking about." He said, glad that she was listening without any traces of disbelief on her face. "After you left, Usagi, Darien and Minako had to explain to me what it was." He finished.

Ami blinked up at him. "Really?" She asked, and he gave her a nod of his head.

She leaned back into him, fighting off the urge to start snickering. "It must have been pretty confusing when we kept asking if you knew what day it was." She said, hoping that she didn't cause him too much discomfort with her questions. The poor thing must have thought she was insane!

He chuckled. "Ya, very confusing!" He said, still holding her close. "But I'm actually glad I found out about this holiday." He said.

"Oh really? Why is that?" She asked, still holding him while they slow danced.

He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the ring box, they both stopped dancing when he did that, and Ami looked at it in slight shock as he opened it up for her to see the diamond ring inside. She gasped at the sight of it while Trunks simply chuckled at the look on her face, taking the ring out of the box to slip on her finger.

"What do you think?" He asked hopefully while she looked at it in awe on her finger, looking as if she was getting ready to cry.

"I-it's so beautiful." She said, much to Trunks' approval before quickly turning to him. "Oh, but you didn't have to get me a ring!" She cried out, afraid that he had spent far too much money on it.

He grinned at her. "Well, we're getting married, so I had to get you one sooner or later. So why not now?" He asked, laughing out loud as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and proceeded to plant kisses all along his face.

"Oh thank you so much!" She cried out, feeling bold and planting one last kiss on his lips that he happily complied to, deepening it as he held her close. The both of them only stopping when the need for air called their names.

Ami was the first to speak. "I love you so much." She said, still fighting off her tears of happiness.

Trunks brought a hand up to caress her beautiful face. "I love you too." He said sincerely. What would he do if he didn't have her in his life? Probably die, but right now they had just made it official that they really would be spending the rest of their lives together. And no thought has ever made him happier.
