Twenty-year-old Ryo Ikari played with her long light brown hair as her university lecturer droned on with his speech.
'Man this is boring' Ryo thought as she leaned back in her chair at the back of the class. 'I thought that once I started university I wouldn't have to put up with these boring lectures like I did in high school.'
"Now class," the professor said, breaking Ryo out of her daydream, "I will now hand you each an envelope with a piece of paper inside. On the piece of paper will be the name of your partner that you will work with for this next assignment. Miss Ikari, you will have to collect the information about this assignment off of your partner since you've spent the entire class daydreaming.'
Ryo sweat dropped and grabbed one of the brown paper envelopes that where being passed around the class before handing the pile to the person sitting next to her.
The bell rang and the class packed up their things and left the room.
Ryo made her way out of the building and walked around the campus grounds until she found an empty park bench and sat down. She opened her book bag and took out an essay that needed to be completed before next Monday.
She wasn't sitting alone for long before she was joined by another twenty year old with shoulder length brown hair wearing a fashionable outfit.
"Hey Sis," Ryo said as the young woman sat on the bench next to her, "you finished your classes for the day?"
"Nah," the young woman replied, "I got my last one in about twenty minutes time. How about you?"
"I just had my last class the and it turns out I have to work on some assignment that I have no idea about because that dodo of a professor was so boring he nearly but me to sleep. Can you believe it Ritsuko! Just my luck to not pay attention when something important is being said!" Ryo whined to her twin.
Ritsuko chuckled at her sister's misfortune before saying, "Well maybe you could ask someone in your class about it if you don't want to go talk to your professor."
"Oh yea!" Ryo exclaimed as she suddenly remembered something. "I'm meant to get the info off of my work partner."
"Huh? What partner?" asked a confused Ritsuko as she watched Ryo dig into her bag.
Ryo pulled out the brown envelope and then looked at her sister.
"Everyone in my class was divided up into pairs to work on this assignment. In here is the name of my partner."
Ryo tore open the brown envelope and pulled out the piece of paper, with Ritsuko looking over her shoulder.
"Trunks Briefs?" Ryo read aloud with a frown, "who the heak is that?"
"Only the most popular guy on the campus Ryo!" Ritsuko exclaimed in disbelief, "I can't believe you've never heard of him!"
"Well I'm not a socialite like you," Ryo retorted, "what does he look like?"
"Lavender hair, blue eyes, great smile," Ritsuko explained, "I saw him about ten minutes ago in the library if your interested."
"Thanks Sis," said Ryo as she put her incomplete essay in her bag and got up off the bench, "I'll see you at home later ok?"
"Yea see you later," Ritsuko said.
Ryo waved to her twin and then made her way to the library. As she walked she admired the cheery blossoms in full bloom on the trees planted all over the campus.
After passing several block buildings Ryo soon found a large building that had 'LIBRARY' written on it.
Pushing the glass doors open Ryo entered and started her search for her work partner.
Ryo went up and down each row of books searching for him without success. When she couldn't find him anywhere on the first floor she went over to a flight of stairs.
The bottom level of the library was were all the books where kept and upstairs was where the computers were.
Ryo looked at each student to see if they fitted Ritsuko's description of him without success. Becoming frustrated with her unsuccessful search, Ryo went over to a student sitting at one computer and asked if he had seen Trunks.
The student pointed to the far corner of the library and went back to typing on his computer.
After thanking the student, Ryo followed his directions and she heard two voices talking in the far corner of the room.
"I swear Goten, you are completely computer illiterate man!" one voice said.
"Hey it's not my fault I grew up away from modern technology!" the other said back.
"I've shown you how to use this program a thousand times already! I can't believe you still don't get it!" the first voice said.
Ryo walked towards the voices and soon two young men came into view. "Maybe it's the quality of the teaching skills that are to blame," Ryo said lightly. She hated it when she heard other people being put down.
"Who asked?" snapped one with lavender hair and both boys looked over to Ryo.
One of them had short black hair and black eyes, and the other had blue eyes and lavender hair.
Totally forgetting Ritsuko's description of her work partner, Ryo walked over to the boy with black hair and started to ask about the problem he was having with the computer.
After a few minutes of quick coaching, he seemed to understand how the computer program worked.
"Thanks a lot," he said, "I'm Son Goten by the way."
"Nice to meet you Goten," said Ryo with a smile, "I'm Ikari Ryo."
The guy next to Goten snorted. "What kind of a name is Ryo?" he snickered.
Ryo narrowed her eyes. "Do us all a favour and take a Valium pretty boy!" Ryo snapped.
The boy stopped laughing and glared at Ryo while Goten covered his mouth with his hand and shook with silent laughter.
"What are you doing here anyway?" the boy snapped.
"Not that it's any of your business, but I was looking for Trunks Briefs."
The boy smirked at her and Ryo suddenly remembered her sister's words: 'Lavender hair, blue eyes, great smile.'
"Oh great!" groaned Ryo, "I'm stuck with this turkey for a legal studies assignment."
"Hey who you calling a turkey!" yelled Trunks.
Several people went "Shhh" at the arguing pair before going back to work.
"Ok listen up good pretty boy," hissed Ryo, "meet me in the cafeteria at twelve tomorrow. If you don't show you're a dead man."
With a quick goodbye to Goten, Ryo turned and left the library.
Trunks watched her go with disbelief. No one had ever spoken to him like that and gotten away with it.
"Geez Trunks," Goten whined, "why do you always get the good looking ones?"
Trunks just growled.
'Man this is boring' Ryo thought as she leaned back in her chair at the back of the class. 'I thought that once I started university I wouldn't have to put up with these boring lectures like I did in high school.'
