The Party
*whack*
"OWWWW!!!!!!!!!!" Goten scowled with a full mouth at Trunks "Whuh th hech was sat foh!?" he swallowed and didn't repeat the question.
Trunks shook his head "Man quit staring at my sister"
Goten scoffed (had his mouth been full, food would have exited along with the small shot of air) "I am not dude. I was just looking over there. "
Trunks set his ice blue gaze on Goten and outright glared. "Just give it up ok?"
He sneered in response and took another large bite.
Trunks in turn looked up at the two girls, who sat with their feet hanging into the pool. He pulled a lip up slightly and diverted his gaze.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She pushed the small black button twice to increase the fire heat, and closed the grill.
Bulma wiped her hands on her apron and approached Chi Chi "All done " she smiled.
Chi Chi nodded and made a 'shoo' gesture with her hands. "Now go relax! I haven't seen you sit down once!"
Bulma smiled and sat as Chi Chi had instructed, looking around at the party she had gathered.
Piccolo sat underneathe a tree as far from the rest of the crowd as possible. Gohan had moved his chair nearby and they held a low toned conversation. Videl chatted Krillin as they watched their children play in the small blown up pool she'd blown up for them.
She quinted her eyes slightly to see Tora and Bra hanging their feet over the edge of the pool, smiling slightly, but also holding a covert conversation. Bulma thought about pulling off the shirt and skirt she wore and jumping into the pool, but remembered of the complaints she usually got from her children. They were so embarassed to have a mother who still wore a string bikini. Bulma smirked and promised herself to jump in later.
She then glanced to Trunks and Goten, who'd been gorging themselves for the past half hour. They both took turns glancing to the girls and hitting each other. Bulma sighed and wondered if the summer had torn the four apart even more.
She silently sat and reminisced to back when they all got along so well. Up until the point that Goten and Trunks entered high school, they were the best of friends. There was no circumstance that could keep the four of them apart. Even Bra, (who seemed to be a bit more shy) always kept up with the group.
Now, she thought, the girls would be entering the same high school as the boys. She knew this year would be filled with enough teenage drama to write a daytime soap.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I just don't get it. He didn't even say hi!" Bra sighed and kicked the water a little, causing a circle of waves to move away from her foot.
"Bra.. your brother and him are best friends. He's always here to train and hang out, and there's no point in freaking out just because we haven't spoken with him in a whole half hour."
Bra sighed. "He and your brother" she corrected. Bra always had a knack for correct grammar.
Tora rolled her eyes and decided to ignore the correction. "Besides .." She flicked her brown eyes up to the boys "He's been staring at you."
Tora smiled as Bra's face pulled a huge smile and tinted red "For real!!??? no way!! no way!!" she said in a forced whisper.
Torasuki nodded "Yep.. now come on, I'm so hungry... lets not let the object of your passion keep us from sustenance."
Bra stood and walked next to Tora as the two left a wet footprint trail to the food table.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kira sat next to Bulma and crossed her legs quickly, handing her a wine cooler. "Sorry, i had to let the dogs back in"
Bulma smiled, "ah its ok, you didn't miss much"
Kira smiled. "So how are they? excited? looks like hungry from what I can see. Ohhhhh wow is that Tora's dress!? it's so pretty!!"
Bulma laughed "Yeah! They don't seem to want to get in the pool though. I wish we'd have more to do... Vegeta won't even come and stand in the corner!"
Kira quirked the side of her mouth "Oh I'm sure this party will get crackin' once it gets dark, and if we have to, we'll get it crackin'!" she smiled, and Bulma grinned right back.
"So when is he getting here?" Bulma asked, suddenly lowering her voice.
Kira raised her brows "He said around 9, but knowing him, it'll be 10" she smiled
In the months before, Torasuki's mother had finally convinced herself to begin dating again. Tora was entering high school, and it was time that she tried to get her own life. She'd recently met a man who was not only capable of keeping her happy, but took well to the strange occurance of tailed people around Capsule Corporation. Kira had originally explained it to him as a project at CAPCOR, deciding to wait to see if he stuck around long enough to be trusted with the truth.
Bulma and Kira sat back and watched the sun set taking slow, long sips out of their wine coolers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta 'sat' in the air high above the backyard where the party was being held. His eyes were just keen enough so that he could watch and not be detected.
The sun had set about an hour ago, and since then the party seemed to light up. Bulma and Kira were playing volleyball in the pool, along with Bra and Tora (who got in after a few begrudged whines). Trunks had retreated to the front yard with a girl that had shown up, and Goten sat with his father playing cards. The rest sat around a fire laughing (minus Piccolo who stayed back slightly)
Vegeta sneered to himself and wondered about these get togethers. They only created noise and wasted food.
His black gaze settled again on his mate and he understood that the smile on her face was attributed to something. This get together must make her happy in some way.
He decided that he'd just wait it out, and wondered what sorts of things Bulma would want to do once this had ended.
He smirked wickedly and closed his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I missed you so much.." she whispered into his hyper sensitive ear. Her hands ran through his hair and over his face as she kissed him on his cheeks, his forehead, his mouth. Trunks was overwhelmed, and truthfully not ready for this sort of reaction.
The darkness hid the red in his face. "Trina please..." he said softly, his tail tightening around his waist.
She slid back a bit, the moonlight glinting off of her blonde hair. She was straddling his waist as he sat, shifting every few seconds to stimulate the area she had all of her weight on. "It's been two whole months since we've seen each other Trunks! I think we deserve a little celebration" she said in a soft voice and shifted her hips hard into his as she leaned in for another passionate kiss.
Trunks furrowed his brow as her lips slid over his. He concentrated on trying to feel good, but this just wasn't right. He pulled back slightly and began to speak again.
"Trina... my parents are just around the corner... I .. I can't do this.. I just..."
Her hand slid uninterrupted down the bare skin of his stomach (though how she had found her way there was beyond him). She continued until the taught pull of his bathing suit stopped her. "Come on...." she insisted with a slight hiss.
He nearly let out a whine as his body did what it was biologically made to do in this situation. As she leaned in to kiss his neck, he finally gave in.
"Trina" he said, no longer whispering.
She sat back and looked at him seriously, removing her hand, but placing it strategically on his suit as he spoke.
"I just cant do this... for whatever reason I'm just not into it. " He stared at her. "For one thing, maybe it has to do with the fact that you were dating Kado before I left." he looked intently at her and she slowly stood.
"Well, we're so over." she said simply, smoothing out her skirt.
He raised his brows. She had been wearing a skirt and he hadn't even noticed. Trunks knew he was making the right decision. He barely knew this girl...
Trina sighed and turned to leave.
"Wait where are you going?" Trunks said as he stood also, his mind trying to gather the situation in which he'd just been in.
She turned and shrugged. "I don't want to bother you anymore.. I guess I'll just see you in school" she smiles and waved.
Trunks sneered in what was close enough to be disgust. What kind of girl would do something like that. She seemed to have adapted all of her boyfriend's (or ex-boyfriend's) horrible relationship skills.
He shook his head and let his tail free to lash in anger. Folding his arms, he returned to the back yard to re-join the party.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tora glanced to Trunks as he came around the corner. She couldn't quite make out his face, only his lashing tail.
"chh.... man-whore" she said. The statement was nothing less than serious.
Her purely disgusted look was replaced by a surprised one as the volleyball gracefully bounced off of her head.
Her reaction however, was not as graceful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bra settled into the trundle bed with a content smile on her face. She loved Tora's room, and always had. Add to that the nice hot breeze coming through the open window, the stars that she knew were shining, and thoughts of the boy who made her stomach flutter; Bra was in a good mood.
She flicked her blue eyes to her friend and had a feeling she was not.
Bra watched Tora sit heavily on the bed next to her, snorting and folding her arms as she did so.
"What's wrong? I thought you loved nights like this?" Bra asked, knowing her friend had the exact same views she did.
Tora smirked and lay back finally, shifting her pajama pants and fluffing the pillow behind her head. "I know... I do. It's probably the only thing keeping me from insanity. I don't know what's bugging me. I'm not looking forward to going back to school next week, and of course you're stupid brother and Goten being home bothers me."
Bra sneered, but held back a defense on Goten's behalf. "It's never bothered you this much before Tora..." she said looking at her inquisitively, but before Torasuki could protest, she went on. "And anyway, high school will be fun.. you know it."
Tora smirked and looked at her friend. "Eh... you're just high on GOTEN"
Bra erupted into a huge laugh as if Tora had said something much more funny. She held a pillow over her head and rolled around crazily. "NUH UH!!!!!" she yelled into the pillow.
Torasuki sneered and made a face when Bra peeked out. "Ohh this is going to be SO much fun!!!". Tora said, thinking of all of the chiding she'd get to do.
Bra held a finger up and threatened back. "Until you find a guy.. then it'll be your turn!"
She rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue. "Yeah. Sure." was all she said this time.
They finally drifted off a few hours later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Dude you suck!" Goten pushed Trunks as they walked back to the main house.
Trunks shook his head. "I'm not into that stuff... and she probably just wanted to make Kado jealous." he sighed and shook his head. "What ever happened to mothers only warning their daughters about being taken advantage of?"
Goten laughed "Ohhh that's just so lame though... I mean you had a clear chance.."
Trunks glared and cut him off. "Just stop Goten, ok? I know YOU wouldn't have done it either. Plus you've got problems of your own." he said with malice lacing his voice.
Goten drew his brows together and looked at him questioningly.
"My sister." he said simply, a sigh escaping as he did so.
Goten just looked at the ground and they walked in silence for awhile.
"I'm sorry Trunks... you did make the right decision. She's probably nasty anyway." he snorted lightly.
Trunks smirked and nodded as they entered the dark Brief's home.
"Great" Trunks rolled his eyes and yanked Goten down the hall to his room. The lights were out. That was all he needed to know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Great party" she said nervously. "You should have shown up.."
He smirked. "Ohh I was there "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*whack*
"OWWWW!!!!!!!!!!" Goten scowled with a full mouth at Trunks "Whuh th hech was sat foh!?" he swallowed and didn't repeat the question.
