THE WONDERFULLNESS THAT ARE TRUNKS AND HIS HAIR

Previously on The Real World, Usagi, Mimete and James have a catfight over Trunks, and Happosai blows up the best room in the house.

***

The episode starts witha sequence of everyone moving into their respective rooms, which are quaintly labelled Lil' Boys' and Lil' Girls' Room, respectively. Inside the Lil' Girls' Room, Usagi and James fight over closet space while Mimete wallpapers the room with centerfolds of boy bands and various other cute guys. Meanwhile, in the Boys' Room, Trunks and Kusanagi get sweatdrops on their forheads when they see Kuno's collection of photos of girl Ranma in various states of graceless nudity, and then the guys play darts for the rest of the afternoon. The whole sequence has a voice over of Kusangi explaining the room selection:

"After the explosion, everyone was pretty much in a daze and they sort of let me take the role of assigning rooms. Or rather, they had no choice. I inmediately saw that Usagi, Mimete and James were too annoying for any halfway sane person to handle, so I put them in a room together, that way they could kill each other while disturbing the rest of us as little as possible. They all whined of course. Trunks seemed relieved at the prospect of not having to beat the three of them away with a stick every night, and Kuno finally agreed to do as I said after he saw Trunks set up a Capsule Corp dart board and basketball hoop and various other guy toys in the other room. At this point Happosai asked in a whiny little voice where he was supposed to sleep, and Mimete told him to go sleep in a drawer in the living room. This seemed like a good plan to the rest of us."

The moving in and dart playing continues until late night, when the residents of the Lil' Girls' Room stop bickering long enough to make bets about whether Trunks sleeps in pajamas, trunks (haha, joke wearing thin now) or *gasp* his b-day suit. Mimete exclaims that they owe her an N'Sync cd when Trunks goes to the bathroom to wash his teeth in boxers and a t-shirt, but James keeps insisting that this proves nothing because this is Nemesis, not Hawaii, so they can't really expect nudity on the first day.

The next morning kicks off with a shot of Trunks' bare back in the steam filled bathroom (*drool*) as he gets out of the shower. He steps outside, clad only in a Capsule Corp towell, and bumps right into Mimete, who looks somewhat flushed... Like the sweet boy he is, Trunks is very concerned and alarmed, especially when he notices that her nose is bleeding a little (he's probably afraid that bumping head on onto a hard saiya jin's body would be more than enough cause for a human nose to bleed, and in this case it might be, although not for the reasons he thinks). When he asks her about it, Mimete denies her obvious nosebleed vehemently and flees into the Lil' Girls' Room. Flashback to a shot of Mimete drilling a small hole into a wall, and then grinning like an idiot as she stares into it with the sounds of the shower running and Trunks doing a rendition of "Singing in the rain".

Usagi is in the kitchen, making something resembling pancakes. She hollers that breakfast is done and then tells Trunks that she made lots of pancakes especially for him because she heard that saiyajins eat a lot, and while Trunks is poking the charred mass of his pancake tower Kuno comes downstairs and is really touched that Usagi would make him breakfast to express the unspoken love sparking in her heart and then goes on a guilt trip because her cooking reminds him of Akane. Usagi ignores Kuno the whole time.

James and Mimete refuse to try the pancakes (not that Usagi offered them any) and instead sit around saying what a skank Usagi is and staring at Trunks from across the room.

"Oh, come on, Mimete, he HAS to be gay, his hair is too good for a heterosexual!! Damn it, if YOU had hair that good I'd figure you were a drag queen."

"Are you implying that I have bad hair???"

"No, Mimete, you have great hair, for a girl" she sticks her tongue out at James "but look at HIS hair!! You think he's a natural lavender? That exact shade is SO hard to do... I've spent weeks at a time trying to get me some of that!"

Mimete sighs and wipes drool off her chin "Yeah me too... oh!! you mean the color?!"

"Um... yeah sure, that too..." says James as he wipes drool off HIS chin.
