As Christmas was coming, Bulma decided to make a party. She has seen Goku and his family quite often, but it was ages ago that she has seen Krilin, Yamcha or the others. Everybody felt obligated to accept her invitation so she began to organise it. Trunks had already issues attending the school's Christmas party but he already learned a long time ago along with Vegeta, that once Bulma decided to make a party, it will happen at any cost.
"You can invite your girlfriends" Bulma said looking at Goten and Trunks when she shared her idea.
"I don't think it's such a good idea" Goten called. "I mean I'm not sure who will be my girlfriend by that time but I surely don't want to scare her away with my family and friends. Nobody can take it as good as Atin."
"Who is Atin?" asked Bulma what caused Trunks to blush.
"Trunks' girlfriend" Goten smiled.
"You have a girlfriend and you don't even tell me?" asked Bulma.
"Goten, I will kill you!" Trunks snarled.
"Why? She already knows Vegeta and she is still going out with you" Goten grinned.
"What? How come Vegeta knows her?" Bulma couldn't believe her ears. "Seriously you introduce him, but not me?"
"It's not like that! She wasn't my girlfriend yet, when father met her" Trunks was desperately trying to explain but Bulma wasn't listening any more, she just left.
The Christmas party in the school already began in the morning with some competition between the classes. It was mostly athletic with some interesting element. Like they had to run in costumes, like dressed as witches, Santas, heroes like Superman, etc. They had to play basketball blindfolded which caused much amusement as the players crashed into the wall or fall over the ball. Trunks and Goten decided to rather practice in the decorating competition so they don't have to pretend to be an average athlete. Every class got a wall to decorate from the gym, where the party will be held in the evening. 3-4 member were dedicated to do this from each class so apart from Goten and Trunks a girl called Serena joined the team. Serena was a good looking girl, with light blue eyes and long brown wavy hair. However she was always quiet and she dressed in jeans and T-shirt so nobody really looked at her twice. Although she was not Goten type at all, as they decorated the wall, he noticed that Serena was quite cute.
"Hey, wanna go with me tonight to the party?" He asked her smiling.
"No, rather not" she answered, not even glancing at Goten.
Trunks looked up a bit surprised and Goten was shocked.
"Why not?" He asked after a short silence.
"Because you are a jerk. Thank you, but I don't want to do anything with you."
"I have heard this after I broke up with a girl, but we haven't even dated yet!"
"I sincerely don't know why anybody wants to go out with you. You are pathetic thinking that it's some kind of achievement to sleep with as many girls as possible. The hard part is not getting somebody, but keeping her!"
With that Serena left to put some decoration on the wall.
"She is right you know" Trunks smiled.
"Is she? Just wait and see until she will beg me to go out with her!"
So Goten decided to make Serena fall in love with him, whatever it takes. He was more determined once he seen the girl at the party. She was wearing a black dress which revealed that she had a great body, what was normally hidden under her everyday clothing. He tried to speak with her twice in the evening, but both times Serena just left him. Trunks and Atin had quite fun watching him become more and more desperate and confused. He had to „suspend" his plan after the party as school was out due to the holidays.
"I have nothing to wear" Bulma panicked as she was trying to pick a dress a few hours before the guests arrived.
"Seriously?" asked Vegeta, looking at the huge pile of clothes on the bed what Bulma already pulled out from the wardrobe.
"I cannot wear those" Bulma explained slowly, like she was speaking with some retarded person. "I knew I had to go shopping but I just didn't have time!"
Vegeta already knew that it will take at least an another hour until Bulma finds a „proper" dress so he sighed and sit down on the armchair. He was already dressed in his suit, which he hated. It was only 30 minutes ago that he and Bulma finished their 1 hour „conversation" about the clothing what he should wear.
"Why is dad always arguing with mom?" asked Bra from Trunks, when they heard the shouting.
They were decorating the garden, what was their assigned tasks by their mother. Bra enjoyed it but Trunks would have better things to do.
"I have no idea. We all know that he will end up wearing suits" Trunks answered and they both laughed.
"You are so impossible, I cannot even ask your advice" Bulma sighed, looking at Vegeta.
"You can" he looked at her trying to be serious.
She was only wearing her underwear and a black silk undershirt, which wasn't covering much.
"Ok, what do you think? Which one should I pick?" She asked, holding 4 clothes at the same time.
"I prefer when you don't wear anything" Vegeta smirked, then the next moment he was standing in front of Bulma kissing her.
"I cannot walk naked in front of the others" Bulma smiled, then she kissed Vegeta back and they ended up in the bed at the top of the clothes.
Just an hour later Chichi arrived with Goku and Goten, shortly followed by Gohan, Videl and Pan. As Goku and Vegeta looked at each other both wearing ties, they felt a common understanding. Slowly everybody arrived and they began to mingle.
"Hey Marron, you look great" smiled Goten.
"Are you hitting on me?" she asked looking a bit amused.
"No, at least not yet. But we might see it in about 4-5 years when you are 18."
"Have you already forgotten Serena?" Trunks asked.
"No, but I will be done with her by then" he grinned.
"In that case you might even ask Bra out later" Atin smiled.
"Oh no! Never" Goten stated and he became very white. "Vegeta would kill me!"
"He just might" Trunks agreed and they all laughed.
"What's so funny?" Bra asked, just arriving with Pan.
"We just wondered who will be so reckless to actually ask you out" Trunks winked, causing the others to laugh again, while Bra looked at them confused.
"Just wait a few years and you will get it" Goten explained.
Everybody had a great time and they were thankful to Bulma for the invitations.
"You look weak" Piccolo stepped to Gohan.
"I'm not, it's just I haven't got that many time to train recently. But I will try to shift my priorities."
"I bet now even Goten is stronger than you."
"Well, he is. Not to mention Trunks, who is more powerful than my brother. I need to get myself together because at this rate Pan will surpass me as well."
"Goku is training her, right?"
"Yes. You know it just happened. Pan is so obsessed with his „grandpa" that she wanted to spend as much time with him as she can. So she ended up being a fighter."
"At least she can protect herself."
"Yeah, but who will protect the others from her?" Gohan smiled.
Bulma couldn't help but to overhear the last sentence and she remembered on the first time when she left Trunks alone with Vegeta. Trunks was 4 years old and since he was already training with Vegeta, Bulma risked to leave them alone for 2 hours as she had to attend a business meeting. There shouldn't have been any issues as they were in the gravitation room, but it broke so they had to come out. When Bulma came home she saw that there was a big hole in the garden and two trees were on fire. Vegeta was just about to put out the flames and blasted away the tress with an energy beam. Trunks was standing next to him, his clothes black from the smut.
"Seriously? I cannot leave you two alone for 2 hours?" Bulma asked.
"I assumed I don't have to babysit him as he is strong enough to defend himself" Vegeta sighed.
"Vegeta! Babysitting is about making sure he doesn't do anything dangerous or something what he shouldn't."
"Yeah, I guess I sort of get the idea now."
Bulma had to smile remembering on this. They have come a long way since then, even she never imagined that Vegeta will be able to change so much. She had the chance to meet Atin as well and even though she had some doubts that anybody will be good enough for his son, Atin seemed to be ok and she already knew some things about the saiyans and she was still ok with it.
"I had a really good time" Atin smiled after the party was over.
"So you enjoy being around crazy people?" Trunks smiled back.
"You have incredible friends. I guess there is an another story behind as how you all know each other."
"Not just one."
