It had been an hour since Satori went home and Trunks was bored. He thought work was boring with her there, but now it was unbearable to stay there. Unlike her, he still had work to do. He was beginning to regret telling her to take the rest of the day off; but he knew she needed it. He sighed as he stared at the paperwork on his desk in a daze. Someone walking into his office broke him out of his bored daze.

"Hello Mr. Briefs." Julie smiled.

Great…the girl Satori can't stand chooses to come in now. "Hi Julie. May I help you?"

"Well." She walked over to him, placing a slip of paper on his desk. "I just wanted to give you this."

Trunks read the slip, and then looked up at Julie, lifting an eyebrow. "This is a complaint slip."

She nodded. "I had a complaint about a certain employee of yours. She's threatened me."

"Who?"

"Ms. Satori Son."

Trunks blinked and gave her a blank look. "Satori threatened you?"

"Uh huh!" Julie nodded again.

I bet she did… Trunks just sighed. "I'll take of it. Thank you for telling me Julie."

"No problem Mr. Briefs." Julie bowed slightly and walked out, her walk one that would end up to her dislocating something if she kept it up.

When she was gone, Trunks tore up the complaint and threw it in the trash. He wouldn't bother with it; Satori wouldn't threaten people…she made promises, not threats.


Satori sighed as she walked in the house. It was only Mei and Videl in the house at that time; Gohan was out somewhere with her Uncle Goten and her Grandpa Goku, and Pan was at the dojo with their Grandpa Hercule. Mei looked up and ran over to Satori, hugging her legs.

"Satori!"

"Hey Mei." Satori smiled softly and rubbed her cousin's hair. "How are you?"

"I'm okay!" Mei looked up at Satori, tilting her head. "What's wrong? You sound sad."

Satori shook her head. "I'm fine Mei. I'm just tired, that's all."

Videl looked at her daughter in concern as she walked over to where her mother sat on the couch. Satori rested her head in her mother's lap, a sign that she was upset about something. Videl looked at Mei.

"Mei, it's close to nap time."

"Aw, really? But I wanted to talk to Satori!" Mei whined.

Satori smiled softly at her cousin. "If you go get in bed, I'll lend you Mr. Happy-Ears." She said, referring to an old stuff rabbit of hers that Mei loved.

"Okay!" Mei ran up the stairs.

When she was gone, Videl looked down at Satori. "What's wrong Satori? You do seem sad."

Satori closed her eyes, before opening them slightly. "It's just a lot of stuff is somehow getting me down mommy." She shrugged slightly. "And…my feelings for someone are confusing me to no end…"

Videl rubbed her hair. She knew of Satori's feelings for the purple haired half-Saiyan; she could read it clearly on her face whenever they were around one another. She just didn't understand why her older daughter by one minute was so sad.

"Did something happen today?"

Satori nodded. "Well, Trunks and I were at lunch at that restaurant I always wanted to go to, and Brandon was there. He said some things to me that Trunks heard and it made him mad." She closed her eyes. "And I told him about me and Brandon's break-up…"

"What did he say?"

"About what?"

"The break-up."

"Nothing. He just hugged me and told me to take the rest of the day off." Satori looked up at her mom.

Videl only nodded. She patted Satori's head, staring at the eyes she shared with the rest of the Son family. "Well, since you're home early, why don't you go take a nap? You look tired Satori."

Satori sat up, getting up. "Thank you mommy."

"No problem Satori. You go rest."

Satori nodded and walked up the stairs to her room. Before going inside, she went into the guest room where Mei slept, placing the stuffed rabbit under her arm. She placed a soft kiss on her little cousin's cheek before going to her own room. After changing into comfortable clothes, Satori collapsed on her bed, falling straight to sleep.


"Videl, we're home!" Gohan called, an hour later as he walked into the house.

"Hi honey." Videl walked over to him, placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Hey Videl!" Goten walked in, a big smile on his face.

"Hey Goten. It's been a while." She hugged her brother-in-law.

"Sorry about that. I haven't had time to stop by." Goten apologized, scratching the back of his head.

"You have nothing but time." Gohan commented to his little brother, removing the glasses that had been on his face.

"Anyway." Goten dismissed his brother's comment. "Where are my nieces?"

"Pan's probably on her way home and Satori is upstairs in her room sleeping. But she might be up right now." Videl said.

Goten nodded and headed up the stairs. Gohan looked at Videl. "Satori's home this early?"

She nodded. "She came home an hour ago; Trunks gave her the rest of the day off."

"He did huh? Wonder why." Goten said as he removed the jacket he been wearing.

Videl shrugged and went into the kitchen, preparing to make dinner.


"Oh Satori…" Goten called stepping into her room. He looked to see his niece sleeping rather fretfully.

He walked over to her bed and sat down beside her, tapping her shoulder. She didn't wake, so he went to shaking her. Her dark eyes opened after a moment.

"Uncle Goten?" her voice was sleepy.

He smiled matched that of his father's. "Hey Satori."

"What are you doing here?" she asked, sitting up. "And why'd you wake me up?"

"I came with Gohan. And I woke you up because I haven't seen you in forever!" he hugged her tightly. "You're gotten taller."

"No I haven't. You just got shorter." She teased, smiling sheepishly.

He gave her a look, earning a small giggle from her. He stood, pulling her out of bed. "Come on. You're coming downstairs with me." He placed her on his back and left her room, heading down the stairs.

Gohan looked up from reading the paper to see Goten and Satori coming down the steps. "Hi Satori."

"Hey daddy." She jumped off her uncle's back and ran up to her father, hugging him as he stood.

"I heard you were upstairs sleeping. Sleep well?" He asked.

She nodded and released him. "Is Pan back?"

"I'm here!" She answered her question, stepping inside. "Miss me?"

Satori nearly tackled her sister, jumping onto her. "Panny!"

"Get off Satori!" Pan protested.

"I don't wanna." She whined.

Goten laughed. "And to think, you two really didn't show this much affection growing up."

Both girls smiled brightly before proceeding to hug the breath from each other. Videl shook her head at their behavior.

"Hey mom, can we have a dinner guest besides Uncle Goten?" Pan asked.

"Who?"

She looked at Satori then back at her mom. Videl smiled, getting the hint. "Yes. If he wants to eat dinner with us he can."

"Go call him Satori."

"I will…later."

"Who are you talking about?" Goten asked confused.

"Truuunks!" Pan replied, smiling.

"You don't have to call him! I'll just go get him for you!" Goten headed out the door.

"Wait Uncle Goten!" Satori ran out the house after him, but he was already in the sky, heading towards Trunks' house. Great…just great…I get to see him again…
