Author's Note: Yikes! It has been a long time since I have posted a chapter of this story! Sorry it has taken me so long. I will try to do better.
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball, but Briana is mine! If you are reading this then you know who owns it. I wish that I did own Dragonball then I would have a boatload of money and not have to write these annoying disclaimers! Well anyway enough of my constant talking and on with the story!

Trunks looked at Briana. "You want me to teach you how to fly?" he asked.
Briana nodded. "Yep."
"I don't know how. I've never taught anyone to fly."
Briana sighed. "Oh well, then I guess that I will just have to tell your mother about the nice collection of Henti manga that you just happen to have hidden in the nightstand..."
Trunks quickly put his hand over her mouth. "Lessons start in thirty minutes."
Briana pulled his hand away from her mouth. "Sorry, but the lessons will have to wait until tomorrow. You sister says that because I have no cloths but my work outfits, that I need to go shopping with her. She wouldn't take no for an answer."
Trunks let out a laugh and stood up. "Then our lessons will begin tomorrow and have fun with my sister."
Briana made a face. "Oh! One thing before you go. Could you ask your mom if there is another room where I can use as my own? I don't want to impose on you, but I know that you probably would like to have your room back."
Trunks nodded. "Sure, we have a few spare rooms where you can stay in. I'll move your stuff while you are gone with my sister."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
***
Three hours later, Bra and Briana returned with over sixteen bags of clothing. "Wow! How much did all of this stuff cost." Trunks asked as the girls sat the bags down in the floor of the kitchen.
"No more than one of my normal shopping trips cost." Bra replied. "In fact, we would have been back sooner but Bri wanted to shop some more."
"Well, this was the first time that I had ever been shopping before. Where I come from, we don't shop. We just go to the shop where we want to buy from and tell them what we want. Then a few days later, we go back to the shop and pick the stuff up! I never knew that it was so fun!"
Trunks looked at Bra. "Bri?"
"It's my nickname." Briana replied as she picked up her bags. "Did you ask your mom about the room?"
Trunks nodded. "She said that you could have the room down at the end of the hall."
"Thanks." Briana replied as she headed out of the kitchen and to the stairs.
Trunks grabbed Bra by the arm. "How come you get to call her Bri?"
"I asked her if I could. Don't get so jealous."
"I'm not jealous!" Trunks replied.
"Then why are you mad at me because I get to call her Bri and you don't."
"I'm not mad."
"Uh huh! Sure your not!"
Trunks glared at his sister and let go of her arm. She smiled sweetly at him and left the room.
***
Time passed quickly for Briana. Everyday she went to work at Capsule Corp. Trying to fix her Timing device. Whenever she went back to, what she now considered her home. She would take flying lessons from Trunks. If Briana thought that it was hard work trying to fix her Timer. It was even harder to learn how to fly. It seemed so easy when she would watch Trunks, but whenever Briana tried, it was impossible.
"There is no use Trunks. I will never learn how to fly!" Briana said as she collapsed on to the ground.
Trunks floated down beside her. "Don't say that. We just have been practicing too hard today. We can try again tomorrow."
Briana shook her head. "There's no use. It was a dumb dream."
Trunks shook his head. It was then that he got an idea. "I guess that you are right. You will never learn how to fly."
Briana looked up at him. "What do you mean by that?"
"How could you ever learn to fly? You are a girl and a weak human. Plus you aren't even from this world."
Briana stood up and glared at Trunks. "Just because I am a girl and human doesn't mean a thing Trunks!"
"Oh it doesn't?"
"No it doesn't! You think that you are all that because you are part sayin, well let me tell you something. Just because you are super strong and can change your hair color whenever you want to. Doesn't make you any more special than I am. For you information I have traveled to more worlds than you can ever imagine. I have seen things that would Vegeta nightmares. So don't tell me that just because I am a girl, human and from another world, that I will never be able to fly. I can fly if I want to."
Trunks smiled at her. 'She's beautiful whenever she is angry.' Trunks thought to himself. "Do me a favor. Look down."
Briana gave Trunks a strange look but she did as he told her to. As soon as she did, she screamed and grabbed Trunks. Wrapping her arms around his waist. Both Briana and Trunks were floating about six feet off of the ground. "How did this happen?" Briana asked as she buried her face in Trunks's shoulder.
"When you got angry at me. You raised your ki up enough for you to float off of the ground." Trunks replied as he wrapped his arms around Briana's waist.
"You knew that this would happen didn't you?" Briana asked looking at Trunks.
"I hoped that it would but I didn't know that it would work for sure."
Briana looked down at the ground and then slowly let go of Trunks. She was glad to see that she was still floating. "Wanna race?" Trunks asked with another of his heart melting smiles.
"No! You will easily be able to beat me." Briana replied as she practiced floating up and down.
Trunks gave Briana a puppy dog look. "Please? I promise that I will go slow. I'll even give you a five second head start."
Briana felt her heat begin to race as Trunks gave her the look. 'No! You can't do this Bri! You know that as soon as you fix your Timer. You will be out of here. But still he is cute when he gives you that look.' Briana thought to herself, 'Stop it! You can't like him. You are going to leave! It's already too late for that. Shut up!'
"Bri? Are you okay?" Trunks asked snapping Briana out of her thoughts.
"Huh? I'm fine."
"So how about it? Do you want to race me?"
Briana smiled at him. "Fine."
With that Briana flew off. "Hey!" Trunks called as he raced off after Briana.
Briana looked over her shoulder and smiled. "Catch me if you can!"
Trunks smiled back and increased his speed. He knew that he could easily catch Briana in a minute but he wanted her to think that for a little while she was actually faster than he was.
After a few minutes of this, Trunks grew tired of toying with Briana. He sped up again and caught up with Briana. "Do you give up yet?" Trunks asked as he pulled up beside Briana.
"Nope." Briana replied as she sped up a little.
Trunk's smile grew larger and he quickly passed Briana. As soon as he passed her Briana knew that she had no chance of beating him in their race, but that did not slow her down. She sped up a little faster. Trying to show him that she wasn't giving up yet.
It went on like this for almost an hour. Trunks would speed up and Briana would try her hardest to catch up with him. Finally after what seemed like forever, Trunks slowed down and landed on the ground. Briana followed him. Landing a few minutes after him. "You win." Briana said gasping for breath.
Trunks didn't reply he just turned and started walking away. Confused Briana followed him. Trunks lead Briana down a worn path. Slowing down and looking over his shoulder to make sure that she was still following him.
"Trunks? Where are we going?" Briana asked as she finally caught up with him.
Trunks smiled and pointed at something. Briana turned to her left to see a small cabin in the middle of a large field. It looked as if it were out of a post card. "What is this place?" Briana asked.
"It's a cabin that Goten and I found when we were kids. It was our favorite place to play hide and go seek. An old man owned the cabin and he enjoyed Goten and me coming up for visits."
"It's beautiful up here." Briana replied.
Trunks grinned and grabbed Briana by the hand and pulled her into the cabin. Neither spoke as Trunks let go of Briana's hand and let her explore the cabin.
They spent what felt like minutes but what really was hours looking through the cabin. "Trunks?" Briana said suddenly.
Trunks looked up from the book that he had been reading. He was about to speak but he froze. Briana was standing in front of one of the windows. The setting sun shone behind her. Making her look as if she were an angel. "Trunks!" Briana called.
Trunks snapped out of his daydream. "Huh? What?"
Briana laughed. "I asked you a question but you ignored me."
"Oh, sorry. What did you ask?"
"Why did you bring me here?"
Trunks blushed and looked away. "Uh...I just though that you would like this place. Plus...I wanted to ask you something."
"What?"
"Uh...well..." Trunks began blushing deeper. "See...there is this ball that Capsule Corp. puts on every year...and I was wondering...uhhh...ifyouwantedtogototheballwithme. Youdon'thavetogoifyoudon'twantto!"
"Sure."
"I'll understand if you don't want to go. It was a dumb idea. Forget that...you will?"
Briana nodded. "When is it?"
"In three weeks."
Briana nodded. "I think that I could have my schedule clear by then."
Trunks smiled. "Great." He then looked out the window. "We better get back home. Otherwise, mom will kill me for keeping you out so late."
Briana nodded and followed Trunks out of the cabin. "You can come up here anything that you want." Trunks told Briana.
"Okay. This would be a good place just to..." Briana said.
It was then as Briana walked out of the cabin, she tripped on the bottom part of the doorframe. She let out a small scream as she fell. But before she could hit the ground. Trunks caught her. "You okay?" he asked.
Briana nodded slowly and looked into his sapphire eyes. She felt her heart began to race, as she looked at him. Briana was sure that Trunks could hear it.
It was then that Trunks leaned down and brushed his lips against Briana's. As soon as he did, Trunks wanted more. He quickly captured her lips and began to kiss her deeper.
Before this kiss, if you had asked Briana if she liked kissing. She would have shrugged and went on with her business, but like didn't even being to describe this kiss. She was aware of every part of her body that was touching Trunks. From her thighs that were crushed against his, to his hands on the small of her back, to her hands and arms that were wrapped around his nick and lightly running through his lavender locks. She felt as if she were flying. Of course, if Briana had opened her eyes, she would have noticed that both she and Trunks were slowly rising in the air.
It was then that Briana realized what she and Trunks were actually doing. Briana broke the kiss and pulled away. "Wow." Trunks breathed, trying to catch his breath.
Briana floated in that air and touched her lips. She looked at Trunks with tears in her eyes. "No this is not happening!" she muttered.
"Bri?" Trunks asked sticking out his hand trying to reach her hand.
Briana pulled away. "I'm sorry Trunks. I can't do this!"
With that Briana turned and raced off. "Briana!" Trunks shouted.
If Briana heard him, she made no motion of acting like she did. She just kept racing off towards Capsule Corp. Trunks shook his head and headed home. Not understanding why Briana raced off. He had a feeling that Briana had enjoyed the kiss just as much as he did, but something was wrong. He didn't know what but he was going to find out.
