Well, well, well, back for more? Domo arigato!! Let's get straight to the point shall we?
Disclaimer: ::Sigh:: But first I must do this stupid, idiotic, pointless-
Trunks:Disclaimer.
Yes, that's the thing.
Trunks: Anija doesn't own DBZ/GT or anything remotely related to it. So there.
WARNING!! Uh.... Ya know, I don't think I really need one of these. But hey, it's here, so deal with it. Well, I should tell all those mush haters to beware, it's not a lemon or anything but it's not exactly action-packed.
Anyway, we left off with Trunks down on one knee. Let's get moving----
Trunks asked.
Huh? What? I asked coming out of my daze.
Can ya move to the left a bit? He asked.
Oh, uh.. yeah. I said, I stepped to the left and cast my shadow onto Trunks' face.
Thanks. It's hard to tighten a shoe with the sun in your eyes ya know? He said messing with his shoe.
~Oh, so that's what he was asking. And I was thinking something else, I have one crazy imagination.~ I thought shaking my head.
T runks asked standing up.
I asked coming out of my thoughts again.
You were shaking your head, and I just wondered why. He said.
Oh, no reason. I lied. I muttered under my breath.
Trunks said.
Nothing. C'mon, we should get home. I said floating back into the air.
Yeah, okay. Trunks said following me. We took off in the direction of Capsule Corp. I wonder what's for dinner. Trunks said.
Your mom said something about fish. I told him.Awe man, that probably means she's making her Fish Surprise'. Trunks whined.
What's wrong with fish? I asked.
You've never been blessed with her special fish cooking abilities? Trunks asked sarcastically. Let's just say that she's not the best cook in the world.
Oh, that bad? I asked.
Yep. Hey, why don't we just grab a bit to eat in the city, it'll spare you and me from my mom's concoction she calls food. Trunks said.
Uh... Sure. I said. I stopped and asked, But where do you wanna go?
Trunks thought for a bit, Well, how about that new place by the mall?
Your teenybopper mob doesn't hang out there right? I teased.
Oh c'mon, let's just go. Trunks said. He grabbed my wrist and started flying in a new direction.
I can fly by myself just fine thank you. I said. He smirked and let my wrist go. As we were passing over a small jewelry shop Trunks stopped.
Hang on, I have to grab something. He said. He landed out front of the building and looked back up at me. Jus' a sec. He said and walked inside.
~I wonder... No, he's not going to do *that*...~ I thought as I hovered. After about five minutes passed and my patience left me. I landed outside the shop and peered through the window. The cashier was wrapping a little box and he handed it to Trunks. Trunks gave him some money than walked back outside with a happy look on his face. What's got you all happy? I asked.
This, it's been something I've been meaning to get for awhile now. Trunks replied holding up the little box.
Oh really? What's in it? I asked. ~Maybe he did do it.~ I thought.
Well, it's not really fancy but I think it'll work. He said. He slid the cover off the box. My eyes widened as the sinking sun sparkled off the gold. He reached his hand in and pulled out a a gold band. See? I bought myself a watch. He said smiling.
Oh...How nice. I said sighing, Trunks didn't seem to notice. ~Great, just what he needs. A nice expensive watch to get ruined while sparring. How grand.~ I thought.
I had to have it from a special delivery. Trunks informed me.
Oh really? I asked pretending to be interested.
Yep, a month ago. I got a call yesterday saying it was in. Trunks said. I looked over at him and he had a certain look on his face. Like he wasn't telling me something.
~Awe well, it's probably just about some other thing he bought for himself~ I thought.
Hey, there's the place, let's go. Trunks said taking my hand and leading me. When we opened the door voices and smells rushed out at us. We walked up to a man behind a counter.
Party of two? The man asked us.
Uh yeah. Trunks said. The man punched some buttons on a cash register then looked up.
Twenty-four dollars please. He said. Trunks grabbed some money and handed it to him. The man nodded, put the money in the register then we were led to our table by a lady.
Here ya are, just turn this paper over when you're finished. She said putting a yellow slip on our table.
I said to the lady. She walked back to the man to seat some other people.
Well, it's kinda just serve yourself here. Trunks started, So let's grab some food.
**About an hour later...(I'll spare you the eating and food details)**
Dang, I'm stuffed. Trunks said leaning back in his seat. I started to chuckle. He asked.
I never thought I'd hear you say that. I teased smiling.
Oh haha, I'll just remember that next time my mom's cooking, maybe I won't take you out. He replied.
Aww, I'm just kidding Trunks. I said wiping some hair out of his eyes. He smiled and nodded. Well, let's head back home then. I said getting up. I turned the little paper over and waited for Trunks to get up. We walked to the door and stepped outside. The cool evening air took me by surprise and I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself.
You cold? Trunks asked me.
Naw, I just rub my arms for no reason. I replied. He raised an eyebrow but just smiled. He took off his jacket (Yes, he had it on earlier I just forgot to mention it) and draped it over my shoulders. Oh, thanks. I said sticking my arms in the sleeves. A breeze blew and ruffled Trunks' hair. ~Dang, he's pretty good looking...~ I thought. I broke my thoughts of that off. ~Is that all I think about now? Not that he's a bad thing- On Kami, there I go again!~
Trunks asked.
I replied about ready to thank him for ceasing my wandering mind.
I asked if you wanted to go home now. He said.
Yeah, sure. I said.
C'mon, let's get out of sight before we take off. Trunks said and started to walk down the street, I followed.
Haven't people seen us fly before? I mean, it's only obvious to see two bright lights in the sky surrounding two people. Who can miss it? I whined not liking to constantly make sure no one was paying attention just to use my only way of transportation.
We don't need them to see more than they already do. Trunks replied calmly. I sighed but continued following him. We reached a small alley way and Trunks stopped.
What? You think this is a good spot? I teased sounding some what annoyed.
Trunks said, He took off slowly waiting for me. I followed suit slowly floating upward. I smiled and then rose higher. Finally we were flying towards Capsule Corp. Capsule Corp came into view and I noticed most of the lights were on. (And that's a lot of light.) As we neared I heard voices, Goten's -being the loudest- stood out most.
Nice dinner Bulma I heard Goten say.
Looks like your mom made a dinner party out of it. I said.
Oh yeah, I forgot that was tonight. Trunks said.
What's the occasion? I asked.
Oh uh... Nothing. He replied. I could tell he was holding something back but I wasn't going to force it out of him. Suddenly Trunks paused in mid-air.
What is it? I asked, puzzled.
Well, do you wanna go back to the sparring grounds? He asked.
Uh... I guess... What for? I asked.
Nothing, just to uh... talk or something. He replied.
Okay, sure. I said.
Push your ki down. He instructed.
I asked.
If they knew we were back they'd make us stay. He said.
Oh, okay. I said and started to lower my ki as we flew above Capsule Corp. I looked back as we past and could of sworn Goku saw me. ~He practically looked right at me.~ I thought. But seeing Goku not do anything (A signal or something) I dropped the issue from my mind. We flew slowly letting the breeze sting our faces. I raised up more into a few strangler clouds but when I started getting damp I decided to come out. I looked down at the ground.
Oh hey, here we are. I said stopping. Trunks stopped and looked down.
Oh, heh, guess I wasn't paying attention. He said flashing a cheesy grin. I shook my head and started descending slowly. I touched down by the waterfall, Trunks landed beside me. It's nice here. He said gazing around.
Yeah, the stars on the water are beautiful. So is the scenery, except for some previous sparring scars. I said.
Heh, yeah. Trunks said.
~Hmm, he seems nervous, awe well, never was a wizard for words.~ I thought.
Hey Anija! Come up here! Trunks yelled from atop a large rock.
When did he get up there? I asked myself as a hovered up. He was sitting in a little circular smooth area. He patted the rock beside him, gesturing for me to join him. I walked over and sat down.
I started.
Anything in particular you wanted to talk about? I asked.
Umm... Well, ye- er... naw, not really. Trunks said shifting about.
Huh? Yes or no? I asked.
No, nothing much.... He trailed off to gaze up at the stars. I followed his gaze and looked up at the night sky. We sat for a little bit then he asked, Hey, do you know were Katon is?
Hmm, Katon. Well, if I remember my Solar Geography correctly-
Solar Geography? He asked smiling.
Yeah, my mom made me do it. I said sighing. Anyway, I think Katon should be somewhere out that way. I said pointing to the eastern part of the sky.
He asked.
Here, let me see your hand. I said. He reached his hand out and I grabbed it gently. I lifted it up and pointed his finger towards my gaze. There, I think. I said, But really far away, you can't see it.
Really far? He asked.
Yeah, it takes over a year to get there, it's farther than that place Piccolo's from. I told him.
Yeah, Namek.
Do you ever miss your mom Anija? Trunks asked me.
Well, yeah, of course. I said sighing again. I felt my throat start to tighten and my face heated up. Trunks looked over at me as a lonely tear rolled down my cheek.
Oh, sorry. He said.
I swallowed to try and clam down, For what? I asked in a higher tone than intended.
For bringing up the past. He said. He brought his hand to my face and wiped the tear away. I took a deep breath but it didn't work. More tears streaked down my face as I bit my lip and turned away standing up. Trunks stood and put a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look at him and tried to blink the tears away.
It's okay to cry Anija. He said softly. I put a hand up to my face to wipe away the tears. He brushed my hand with his and stared into my eyes. He leaned forward and wrapped his arms around me. I started to cry harder into his shirt and he just stood there holding me. It's okay Anija, I know you must miss her. He said in a sweet voice.
I do Trunks, more than you know. I said between breaths. I haven't seen her in so long, I haven't had a family.
You can have one. He said. I pulled away studying his serious face.
W-What do you mean? I asked. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box. He swallowed hard and took my hand.
A-Anija, will you... Will you marry me? He asked. My heart leapt and more tears streamed down my face, but these were tears of joy. I smiled and nodded my head for my mouth couldn't find the words.
Yes, Trunks. I finally said. He smiled and slid the ring on my finger. I looked down at the ring. It was small and delicate and had a rose with a diamond in the middle of it. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close in a passionate kiss.
Okay, finally, another chapter. Sorry for the wait, really I am!! Please don't hate me because I'm slower than a snail! I swear my teachers are evil! Loads of homework, day after day... Sheesh! But I will understand if ya type a comment in all capitols yelling various things and telling me to go places Piccolo wouldn't venture. I most likely deserve it. =) Anyway, one way for me to post faster is to leave a comment! Even a simple, You're a fruitcake is welcome. (Though I'd prefer something different, that would squeak by.) Well, thanks for sticking with me and reading, I'll try very hard to get the next parts up faster K? K. Ciao!
