Between You and Me

Chapter One-Can't Goten Get Ready Any Faster!?!

Disclaimer-don't own Dragon ball, Dragon ball z, or Dragon ball GT for that matter. I am the weaver of tales and the dreamer of dreams. So please don't hurt me!!!

Sorry but this is a short chapter, so you'll have no problem quickly reading and reviewing…will you now???

Trunks looked longingly out the window, preferring to be outside training than inside listening to a lecture. The teacher had asked some question and now Goten was answering it; correctly as always. Goten was Trunks' best friend, and at the same time his most fierce rival. They had met at ages seven (Goten) and eight (Trunks) and had become inseparable from that time on. It ran in their Sayian blood to be competitive and hard-headed, but it also ran in their families. After all, it was Trunks' father, Vegeta, who had always tried to better Goten's father Goku on the battlefield.

Now in high school, both boys were both always on top of the other students: athletically, academically, and sometimes socially. Trunks was valedictorian of his class and Goten followed up as the salutatorian. Trunks was pitcher of the baseball team and Goten was the captain of the swim team. Oh, and of course they were both adamant in the martial arts. The only place where Goten excelled over Trunks was with the girls, particularly because Trunks didn't really have any girls he liked and he didn't have time for a love interest.

But that was before he started having feelings.

There was one girl. They called her Riona and everyone liked her. Especially Trunks. They had been friends since Trunks had gone to his first ever day of school. At first she had been like anyone else to Trunks, then a secret girlfriend, then enemies, then just a friend, then close friends, and now…

Trunks was becoming more mature after all, and his feelings for her had become stronger than ever. He was just hoping it was a phase and not a weakness, and he was especially careful that Goten, or anyone else, didn't figure it out.

After class, Trunks waited for Goten to hurry up.

"Come on, could you be any slower?" Trunks complained, secretly watching out of the corner of his eye for Riona to pass by. He was a little disappointed that he was going to miss talking to her between classes. That was just his luck. But Riona actually stopped next to Trunks and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey Trunks, do you think you have to do anything Saturday?" She asked, placing her large blue eyes toward the ground.

"Um. No. Why?" Trunks' heartbeat was getting faster, and he was feeling flushed.

"Well, I'm having a party and you two are invited. Did you hear that Goten?" She faced Goten who was busy putting books in his book bag. He stuck a thumb up into the air and Riona continued, "It's at my house so come around four if you can."

Then she casually breezed by, leaving Trunks with his mouth opened, looking kind of foolish. Goten in the mean time had gotten everything ready to go, and was waiting for Trunks to lead the way out of the room.

Sorry this is so short but it's late at night, not really, and my mom told me to be off…

Please review and help me out with criticism or ideas. I really wanted to write more…sad. Lots of thanks to Rodger and my sister for actually kind of helping me with the story. Rodger for titles and sis for…the original idea, if you will. And to Riona for making her second appearance in my writing! Will update soon!!!
