______________________________________________________________________________
The next couple of weeks went by very quickly, it was basically the same routine every day. Get up, get dressed, avoid Vegeta, eat breakfast, train with Goku, come back to CC and eat, go to sleep. Every now and then one of the Z soldiers would drop by just to say hello.
One day she walked out her door one morning to see a 1O year old Bra, skipping through the hallway, singing "Jingle Bells".
Susan continued her way downstairs, and met Vegeta who was mumbling "Baka human traditions" to himself. When she reached the kitchen, Bulma was reading a list that was huge.
"Is there something I don't understand going on around here."
"Oh. Susan, you are just the person I needed. What do you want for Christmas?"
"C-Christmas, when?"
"Next week, you mean you didn't know."
"Oh, shoot" She turned around and ran back up to her room. She searched through her bag, and found her billfold. She looked through it and found roughly around $100.
"I didn't know I had this in here, oh well." She rushed back down the stairs, and out the door, passing right by Bulma. She started to blast off when a thought came to her head.
"I don't know where town is." She walked back in to see Bulma, sitting in a chair looking at her watch.
"It only took you 3 seconds."
"Sorry, I was just excited,"
"That's okay, you can go with me, I have to finish my shopping, anyway."
"Thanks." They walked outside and Bulma uncapsuleized (I think that is how you spell it) the car. They jumped in and drove off towards the mall. When they reached the mall, Bulma capsuleized the car. Susan walked in the mall to start her endless search for gifts.
After a couple of hours she finally found everyone a gift. She got Yamcha a book called'101 Pickup Lines', Gohan-a video called "Our tribute to the Great sayman (I think that's how you say that)", Videl and Chi-Chi-aprons that say, "I'm the boss", Goku and Goten-catalogs where you could order big platters of food, Pan and Bra-retro stuff.
Piccolo-A book called 'Why meditating is good', Krillin-a new pair of shoes (I hate those little pointy things), 18 and Marron-each a book called 'hip clothes', Tien and Chatsu-cloaks like Piccolos, Bulma-Cookbook, Trunks- a book called 'How to run a business', and Vegeta-a book she found about a prince who was the last of his evil race, so he became a good guy (I had to do it).
When her and Bulma were back in the car Susan let out a sigh.
"Now I remember why I didn't like Christmas shopping."
"Susan, I'm telling you, Vegeta is going to love that book" They both cracked up at this. Finally, they reached CC, Susan took all the presents to her room, careful not to run into anybody.
The rest of the week flew, by quickly for everybody. It was too cold to train, so Susan stayed in her room almost all day.
On the day before Christmas Eve, Bulma went up to Susan's room and knocked on the door.
"Come In" Bulma came in through the door with 2 dresses in her hands, one was a light blue, with no straps and was about knee high; the other on was red, with straps and it touched the ground.
"Which on do you like better."
"Personally, I like the blue one."
"Good" then she threw the dress onto Susan's bed, "You might want to try it on" then she disappeared. Susan was stunned, to say the least. She jumped off the bed and ran after Bulma.
"Bulma, why am I supposed to try this on?"
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you. Well the day before Christmas Eve I always have a party, everybody is there, but you have to wear a dress."
"But you see, I don't wear dresses."
"Your kidding me, well now is a good time to start." Then she walked off. Susan walked back to her room and looked at the dress.
"I guess I should try it on."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I changed my mind, I'm not coming out."
"Come on, Susan, It's not that bad"
"I just can't do this."
"Please"
"Fine, but promise you won't laugh" Susan stepped out of the door, Her blonde hair was down, and it matched perfectly with her dress. The suprise could be seen in Bulma's face. Bulma was wearing a purple dress that was long sleeved but it had a V line, plus it only reached her knees.
"I know I look horrible, I'll go change"
"No, Susan its not that, that dress looks so nice on you."
"Really"
"I can't believe you don't wear dresses. You look so nice in them."
"Yeah, *sigh* Its been a long time since I wore a dress."
"Well we should get downstairs."
"Is everybody all ready down there"
"Yeah, why"
"*Gulp* I guess I should get this over with." Susan started off towards the family like room, where everyone usually gathered.
"Where are you going?" questioned Bulma
"Towards the party, where else."
"But the ballroom is this way" she stated pointing down the opposite direction.
"So the party is in the ballroom, I thought it was just for friends."
"Oh, it's also a company party. A bunch of people from that work here at CC, are also coming."
"So its like a ball"
"Yeah, basically."
"Great" Susan mumbled to herself. She followed the older women down the hallway until they reached a medium-sized door labeled 'Ballroom'. People were going into it mostly in pairs.
"Okay lets get this over with" Susan thought as she entered through the doors. She stayed behind Bulma, trying to hide. She looked over to see a corner, and headed straight for it. She leaned up against the wall and took Vegeta's pose (legs crossed, arms folded) but she leaned her head back and starred at the ceiling. She remembered what had happened the last time she had went to a ball.
~@~ Flash Back ~@~
There was a room full of people dancing to the music in the background. Susan was there with a boy named Ron, who had been very nice to her over the last couple of days. When the music ended, Susan went to get her something. When she got there she saw another boy poring alcohol into the punch bowl.
Susan went back over to warn Ron about this. When she reached him he had his back to her, and he was talking to his friend. She was going to sneak up on him when she heard his conversation.
"Yeah I just brought her here to make Daisy jealous, I was going to dump her during the dance. So Daisy would feel sorry for me and coming running back to me. "
The tears started welling up in Susan's eyes, but she held them back. Then her sadness was filled with anger.
"You, Why you little!" she yelled braking up there conversation, "How dare you. Well you know what I am ruining your plans okay, Ron. I want to never see you anywhere near me again okay. Because if you get in a ten mile radius of me I will kick your *beep*. Got it mister." She then stormed out the door followed by applause.
Since she came to the dance in Ron' s car, she had to walk home. As she walked 3 big things happened to her: 1 someone robbed her, by sticking a gun to her head, 2 some drunk guy came up to her and said something like 'come home with me' but she kicked him square in the head, 3 when she got home she found that her keys where in her purse (that was stolen) and she had looked herself out, so she had to climb in through the window.
~@~ End Flashback ~@~
"Could something go right for me just once" she said to herself. She stood there a couple of minutes thinking about her life and about what all had happened. She stopped her thoughts long enough to look down.
She saw people around on the floor dancing, but she finally spotted the Z senshi. Goku was at the buffet table and Chi-Chi was trying to get him to dance with her, Goten was following in his fathers footsteps, Gohan and Videl were dancing, Piccolo and Vegeta were both in different corners, Yamcha was trying to hit on some dinky blonde, Krillin was talking to Tien and chatsu, Marron was talking to her mother, and Pan was trying to get Bra's attention, who was staring dreamily at Goten. But one thought struck Susan's mind.
"Where's Trunks" She asked no one.
"Right here." a voice replied walking towards her. She turned her head to see the purple headed teen.
"Hey Trunks" he walked up to her and copied her pose.
He looked up at the ceiling and said, "What is so important about the roof." He asked.
"I wasn't looking at the ceiling, I was thinking."
"About what?"
"Stuff" She replied.
"So, how's the training with Goku, been going"
"To tell you the truth, I bet Master Roshi could beat me."
"Come on, you can't be that bad. All the man does is sits around and looks at porn magazines."
"I'm just not really the fighting type. I never really did like to fight and stuff like that."
"Oh, hey do you want to dance? I mean that's what you do at Party's."
"Um, well, okay, I guess." They stepped out on the dance floor when the next song came on.
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
How many days in a year?
She woke up with hope but she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making the promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear?
You look in the mirror, so how do you choose?
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
How many lovers would stay?
Just to put up with this every day and all day
How did we wind up this way?
Watchin' our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waitin'
Wearin' the clothes of the souls that we choose
How do we get there today?
When we're walkin' too far for the price of our shoes
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
And your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Whose pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smiles
When the song ended Susan looked over at Pan, and she was fuming.
"Opps"
"What?" questioned Trunks?
"I think I got Pan mad." Trunks looked over at Pan.
"What's her problem" Susan looked him in the eyes,
"You mean you don't know"
"Know what?"
"Your kidding me, I mean I thought you could have at least figured it out by now."
"Figured out what?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Come on, what"
"You'll find out soon enough" She walked over to a door and walked outside. She leaned up against the side of the building and took a deep breath.
"Fresh air." She whispered to herself. Then she heard footsteps and went to explore.
"Hello, is anyone there." Suddenly a person came out of the shadows. His cape flowing behind him, and his turban removed.
"Howdy, Piccolo. You know I've always wondered something. When Garlic Jr. came how did you make your eyes glow like that. It was so weird." He just turned around and walked away.
"Well he just won the award for Mr. No Personality." Susan mumbled to herself. Susan found a little window and looked in. She saw a very funny sight.
Trunks and Goten were having an, apparently, hilarious conversation with Marron, since they were laughing their heads off. But the most hilarious part was Pan and Bra were looking on with fire in their eyes. Apparently Chi-Chi had got Goku away from the buffet table because they were dancing, her head on his chest. Then she saw something that you had to see to believe. Vegeta was dancing with Bulma. Susan almost fell to the ground in shock.
It looked like everyone was leaving so she went back inside. She walked back in forth around in search of Bulma. She finally reached her, and waved her hand.
"Hey, Bulma." Bulma searched for the origin for the voice and when she found it she let out a sigh of relief.
"I finally found you, well the parties ending so you might want to go to your room. Goku was going to stay to eat all the food off the buffet table but that's not very exciting."
"Okay, see you in the morning."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Susan's mind slowly came back into conciseness. Man that was a weird night she thought. She had hads the same dream she had had on her first day here, but it was different. This time after the voice came, the cloaked figure stepped out and said
"You find out your true destiny soon enough, Susan. HAHAHAHAH" then she woke up.
Pulling her self out of bed, she went to change. Flipping through the clothes she found an interesting outfit. Vegeta's spandex. She almost burst out laughing; Bulma must have put it in here by accident she thought. She didn't notice her necklace fall off the nightstand onto the floor. Then the light bulb, above her head, appeared, as she ran into the bathroom.
She came out in her new apparel. The bottom only reached her knees, and the upper part showed about an inch of her stomach. But all and all, it was very loose on her.
"Must be because of his muscles." she mummered to herself. Suddenly she heard yelling sounds and someone running towards her door. A very angered prince entered not noticing his surroundings he cursed under his breath. He looked up noticing the person in the room.
"Opps, wrong room." He started to go back out when he released what she was wearing.
"Why you!" he yelled pointing his finger at her. He was fuming, as he stepped forward. Then Susan heard the sound that brought down her world. The sound of glass shattering underneath the princes foot.
At first this surprised her, then she realized what had happened after taking a glance at the nightstand. A single tear flew down her check and landed on the floor. Suddenly she let out a horrifying scream, even shocking Vegeta, and flew out the window. Vegeta shook his head and raced downstairs to figure out why she had done that.
She flew for hours it seemed before she lost her power and landed. The teen crawled into a ball, and she cried. She cried from despair, she cried from hate, she cried from long lost hope. Soon she ran out of tears, and just sat with an emotionless face. Suddenly she remembered a poem she wrote that she wrote a couple of months before her "trip"
Here I am in the dark, no where to go.
I've lost all hope, because of reasons no one knows.
I see a light at the end of the end of the tunnel,
But it turns into despair; emotions all wrapped in a bundle.
I wish there was a strong hand to hold me,
But I'm left in the cold, as I drink the cold tea.
Hell could not compare to the things I've seen,
My life has changed, now that I'm seventeen.
I wish my life would just end,
So I can see the light again
The tears continued down her face. She sat there not caring if she lived out her life, not caring if she died the next day. Not caring about anything. She just wanted to find the light.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You did what!" Bulma screamed at her husband, "I wonder why she yelled like that" Vegeta had just got done explaining to his family what had happened.
"We should go look for her." Trunks spoke out. Bulma nodded her head, while glaring at her mate.
"I agree, Trunks. You and your father go look for her."
"but…"
"No buts Vegeta, You are the reason she ran away, so you are going to help find her."
"Fine"
