A LOVE REUNITED
Chapter One- The Preparations
Sherri sat at the dresser table combing her long, light brown hair. The ball wasn't till later, but she wanted to be ready early enough. She looked at her plain blue dress in the mirror, then at her hazel brown eyes.
Ah Trunks.
She stopped combing her hair and looked at herself.
Why am I thinking about him now? It's been ten years since I last saw him! I bet he's already married with kids.
At that moment, the door opened and she lost her train of thought.
"No way! Never. I said we are NEVER getting back together!" Silence. "Listen closely. Never EVER EVER will I be your girlfriend." She closed the phone and walked over the Sherri and sighed.
Sherri smiled. "Ex-boyfriend, Kaya?"
Kaya groaned. "It's Kevin… again!"
"Hey don't worry about it. I'm sure he'll come around eventually." Sherri hugged her best friend and grinned at her. "I'm ready for the ball. How do I look?" She twirled around in front of Kaya who grimaced.
"You're wearing that, chica?" That was Kaya's favorite nickname for her.
Sherri pouted. "What's wrong with it?"
Kaya shook her head and sighed, then put an arm around her. "The thing is, we dress to impress and that…" she looked the dress up and down "isn't gonna cut it. Come to my room. I see we have a lot of work to do.
The two girls shared a flat and they walked to Kaya's room in search of a dress.
"And we definitely have to do something about your hair!"
Trunks fixed his tie in the mirror. "Must I really go to this ball, Mother?"
Bulma clasped her hands. "Of course! Not only are you the president of Capsule Corp, but these balls only happen every six months. Bulla is at Pan's house for a sleepover and we both know Vegeta isn't going to set foot in a tuxedo." She helped Trunks fix his tie then put her hands on his shoulders. "And the people are counting on you to make an appearance. Will you do it for your dear mother? Please?"
Trunks sighed. "Fine Mom. I'll do it. But only cause you asked nicely." He kissed her on the cheek then ran downstairs to open the door for Goten.
"Hey bro. I wanted to see if you wanted to go fishing. Can you believe Valese has never been fishing? I wanted to show her, but you're better at it than me, so..."
Trunks shook his head. "Can't. One of those "oh-so-important" balls are coming up and I gotta attend. Will you be there?"
"Who, me? No way! But it sure sucks to be you! See ya!" Goten waved to his best friend and flew away.
Trunks sighed and bowed his head. "It's gonna be a pretty long night."
"Hmmm. This dress should fit you fine. Just above the knees and not too much cleavage showing." Kaya pulled out a light purple dress fitted below the bust and sighed. "I remember when I was small enough to wear this."
Sherri gave a short laugh. "You aren't fat."
"I know I'm not, but I meant bust wise. This is way too small!" She shook her head. "Anyway, you can keep it." Kaya threw the dress on the bed next to Sherri and went into her walk-in closet. "Now for what I'm going to wear..."
"Um, Kaya?"
"Hm?"
"You don't have a job."
Kaya's head popped through. "Nonsense! I work for me, myself and I and that's reason enough to come!" She looked at Sherri and gave a short scream.
"What, what?! Am I on fire?!" Sherri jumped off the bed.
"No, even worse." Kaya started sniffling, then pointed at Sherri's head. "Your hair."
"Is it on fire?!" Sherri started patting her head.
A tear rolled Kaya's face. "Your hair... It needs a major touch by me."
Sherri looked at her deadpanned. "Please tell me you're joking."
"Forget my dress!" Kaya walked out of the closet and pulled Sherri into a chair. "Fortunately my dad is paying for all expenses in this condo, so he also pays for a professional stylist. Maria!" A woman walked into the room and bowed. "Do your stuff and make her pretty." When Maria started, Kaya sighed. "Now I can concentrate on a dress. See you in a few!" She walked out of the room.
A few minutes later, Kaya came back wearing a green fitted dress with her hair in a French twist. She blew on her freshly manicured finger nails. "Almost done?"
"She's ready." Maria stepped back from Sherri and snipped one last time. "There. Perfect."
Sherri looked at herself in the mirror. Her brown hair was put in a side bang behind her right ear and the rest hung in soft curls on her shoulders. There was blush on her face and her eyelashes and eyebrows looked amazing. Her lips were lightly glossed. "Wow," she thought, "I almost didn't recognize myself."
"Perfect. Absolutely gorgeous. I'll never understand how you do it every time." They kissed on both cheeks and Maria left the room. "So? How do you like it?"
"Wow. I can't stop looking at myself." Sherri grinned at Kaya. "Thanks."
"Don't thank me. Or, at least, not yet anyway. We still have a ball to go to." She sang the last bit.
"Hm? Oh yeah. What's the time?" Sherri looked at herself again.
"It's 7:50."
"Oh, okay." Sherri hummed to herself as she touched her hair. Then it sunk in and she shot up out of the chair. "7:50?! Kaya, the ball is at 8!" She slumped back in and groaned. "We'll never make it in time."
Kaya shook her head. "Have you no faith in me? Don't worry about a thing. Just change your dress and meet me downstairs."
When Sherri reached, Kaya opened the front door to reveal a new BMW.
Sherri raised an eye. "Where did that come from?"
Kaya shrugged. "Many exes have their advantage. Anyway, let's ride!" She put an arm around Sherri's shoulder and walked her out. "You see, it's all about being fashionably late..."
Well that's it for now. What did you think? Read and review please! Happy holidays!
