Hello! I get some of you are confused by why 17 was at the scene too. While, this short chapter will clear things up… I hope...
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Our rematch." 17 crossed his arms.
18 cocked her head to a side and gave her brother a mock-confused look. "What rematch?"
17 growled.
YYYYYYYYYY FLASHBACK YYYYYYYYYY
"18!"
The blonde turned to face her brother who just touched down behind her. Somehow, the android could not resist a smirk. "I thought you were mad at me."
17 narrowed his eyes at his sister. "I am. But," he added as he settled into a fighting stance, "I want a rematch. You and me. Winner takes all."
"Aww, isn't your hand still hurt?"
"You know this better than I do, 18," 17 snapped, "we heal a lot faster than those weak humans." 18 opened her mouth to retort, but a sudden flash of light caught her eye. It was just beyond the city, but it was bright enough for her to catch it.
And if you asked anyone, they would tell you that there is nothing more persistent than a curious android.
"Alright. We'll have your rematch," she smirked, "if, we follow me."
17's eyes widened. "What?!"
"There was a flash just beyond the city. I wanna go check it out."
"18…" 17 warned. The girl rolled her eyes. "Look, you can sit here like a big baby and whine about your rematch all day, but I'm not gonna fight you until I find out what that was." 17 pouted. "And after that?" 18 sighed, "then we'll have your rematch, okay?" 17's jaw jutted out stubbornly, "FINE." 18 gave him a teasing smile. "That's a good boy."
The male android growled.
YYYYYYYYYY END FLASHBACK YYYYYYYYYY
"Oh… right… That rematch." 18 twirled a strand of blond hair in her fingers. "So? Get to the fighting part already!" 17 demanded.
18 rolled her eyes and ignored him, walking away. Seeing his sister's nonchalant reaction, 17 stiffened. I'll make her fight even if she doesn't want to. And I'll win. This time for sure.
She turned back in time to swat a ki blast dangerously close to giving her another cut.
"What is wrong with you?!" 17 didn't reply, glaring daggers at her. 18 frowned at his childishness-"Look, what I told Trunks just now was true. If you want to fight me, you can. But when you fight me, I expect your full power. I'm tired of playing games with you. I can easily beat you now-look, go train and build up on your power, then we'll see about that rematch."
"Train?" 17 flashed her a confused expression.
"We're part human, 17. If we train, our human side can build up on power and make us stronger. Gradually, but it works." 18 explained. 17 frowned, he didn't like that idea. Who cares about training? Then again, he thought, his sister was serious.
YYYYYYYYYY
"Are you okay?"
"I'm… fine." Trunks looked over at the younger version of his mother.
"So… I better start on the time machine, huh." Bulma gave the kid a small smile. "Yea. The faster you get it fixed and return home, the better." The was a short silence. "Are you hungry? I can cook something for you." Bulma offered.
Trunks looked up at her. "Yea. That'd be good."
YYYYYYYYY
18 stopped in her tracks.
Abruptly she whirled around and glared at her brother. "WHAT?!"
17 crossed his arms and smirked. "You heard me. Now answer the question."
"I SO do not like Trunks!"
"Oh? Why would you spare him then? Fight me, your beloved brother, just to save his life? And then let his mum go? Trying to get parental approval, eh sis?"
18's cheeks burned pink. "I…I am not! I-I just… Argh! I don't have to explain ANYTHING to you." Flustered she turned and hurried off. "I'm going shopping." Immediately she took off into the skies.
17 let his teasing smile fall away. He leant against the hood of a car and let out a small sigh. Great. I got beaten by 18, let her trick me into doing what she wants, and… And MY SISTER IS IN LOVE WITH OUR ENEMY!
