A/N: Hello everyone :) This is my third story and my first multi- chapter story! Thanks again to anyone who reviewed my first story Vegeta's First Kill and my second story Dark Days! Reviews really mean a lot to me and I hope you enjoy this story as well :D
Summary: Ricky is Videl's little cousin who is the same age as Trunks. This is a story of how they come and stay together through the best and worst times of their lives. Trunks X OC.
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ! But I do own Ricky and Carly ;)
I drew (more like traced) a picture of Ricky and the picture is on my tumblr account :) The link is tswizzlefanatic . tumblr . com (minus the spaces)
This story could be seen as an AU, but since it really follows the story line... IDK what to classify it as xD so i'm going to say that it's a CU with an extra character thrown in there :) This story will span from a few months before the Buu Saga to like... right before the Baby Saga in GT.
Young Love
Chapter 1
"Ricky, wake up! It's 7:30!" Videl yelled across the hallway to her seven year old cousin's room. "I'm leaving in half an hour!"
Ricky rolled over in her bed and called out in a groggy, half asleep voice, "I'm awake!"
She got out of her bed and walked towards her dresser. Her eyes widened as she took in her appearance in the large mirror above it. Her black, shoulder length hair was sticking up and to the right and the left side was completely tangled.
She grabbed her comb and worked her way through it. Once her hair was taken care of, she pulled out a pair of blue jeans and a blue tie die T- Shirt that read "Sag Harbor, New York".
After she had eaten her breakfast, she sat in the kitchen, admiring the place. She had never lived in a house as extravagant as her Uncle Hercule's. She had moved in with her god father after her mother had died in June. It was now September and she still couldn't get over how nice the house was.
Of course, she had been in the house before her mother had passed, for Videl was her best friend since the day she was born. It was just that her and her mother used to live in a tiny apartment in central Manhattan and wouldn't have survived had it not been for food stamps. Ricky's father had died before she was born so he couldn't help them out. Life: 1; Ricky: 0, Ricky thought.
Videl came down the stairs, her green backpack hanging off of her shoulder.
"Hey, Ricky, I'm about to leave. I know this has been really hard on you but I know you can get through it. You should leave at around 8:30 if you want to get to school on time. You sure you don't want my dad to drive you?" Videl asked as she picked up a banana on her way out the door.
"The school is right down the street and I used to take the subway to school in New York. I'll be fine, don't worry." Ricky said as she smiled half- heartedly at her cousin. She hoped she wouldn't have to walk alone every day. Living in the suburbs of Satan City was a big stretch from always being surrounded by people in the City.
"Alright then. I'll see you when you get back home." Videl replied with a smile and a wave as she walked out the front door.
Ricky studied her schedule until it was time to go. She grabbed her gray backpack and walked out the door.
As she was walking down the front walkway towards the side walk, she noticed a boy about her age walking in the direction of the school with a backpack on his back. He had odd colored lavender hair and looked half asleep.
"Hey!" She called out as she walked a bit faster to catch up with him. "I'm Ricky. Are you heading towards Orange Star Elementary?"
The boy's eyes widened a bit as he realized the girl was talking to him.
"Yeah, I'm Trunks. Are you new to the school?" He replied with a warm smile.
"Yeah, I just moved here from New York. I'm going into the third grade, how about you?"
"Same here!" He continued smiling as they walked towards the school together. As they walked down the street towards the Elementary school, they compared schedules and got to know each other a bit better. Trunks introduced her to one of his best friends, Carly, and the three of them hung out together the whole day.
After Ricky said goodbye to Trunks on her way home, she leaned against the closed door with a real smile on her face for the first time in three months. She had made two new, great, friends and Trunks was cute to boot! Life: 1; Ricky: 1.
