Guys! I'm soooo sorry! You wouldn't believe how busy I've been! School, moving, web site, and a Yahoo! Club that I joined (takes a lot of your time to keep up in that thing). This is terrible! I shouldn't have waited so long to get this chapter out. I feel so bad....Well...Here's Chapter 10.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Line of Chapter 9: (LoL that rhymed!)

>"Trunks, what's going on?" I asked sternly. And from the look on Vegeta's face, I knew he wanted to know the exact same thing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Um, nothing?" He answered, almost in a questioningly way, as if he was trying any excuse to get out of a confession.

"Trunks!" I yelled. "As soon as we get inside that house your telling me everything!" Knowing there was no arguing with me, Trunks sulked into the living room and dropped onto the couch. Vegeta and I followed.

"Spit it out." I ordered sternly. I saw him search for words as he began cautiously.

"Pan and I...are...going out..." He whispered. I could see his uneasiness all over his face.

"Well that's obvious!" Vegeta yelled. Trunks winced. I could tell Vegeta was getting caught up in this whole thing too. I almost believed he'd have a heart attack if he stood any longer so I pulled him onto the couch across from Trunks along with me.

"Trunks...just tell us the whole thing and stop stalling!" I demanded. I saw him physically give up and sigh.

"Fine. Here it goes: Pan and I started going out a little bit ago. We've been going out for probably three days, and have been able to keep it a secret until yesterday and today. We've gone out together two or three times, and this last one would have been our fourth if you hadn't decided to throw a party and send Gohan out to look for Pan so she could come." He rolled his eyes at me.

"What about the hicky?" I asked. I saw him blush ferociously at the reminder. He timidly pulled down his collar to confirm his actions.

"We were kissing..." He whispered, almost whimpering.

"More like making out." Vegeta corrected coldly.

"Vegeta! Quiet!" I scolded. He looked at me briefly and didn't say anything.

I rolled my eyes at him. "So why were you keeping it a secret?"

"Because Dad hates anybody related to Goku, Gohan hates anybody going out with his daughter, and I didn't want everybody asking me questions..."

"So much for that." Vegeta chuckled. I looked over at him with a 'Would you quit that' look. Instead of taking me seriously, he continued. "You haven't had sex have you?" He asked plainly. Trunks leaned back with a slight yell and a 'No way' look in his eyes.

"No Dad! I swear!" He screamed desperately. I almost laughed at how dramatic he was acting over the cool way Vegeta asked him the question.

"Vegeta!! That's enough!" I ordered again. He wasn't making this any better.

"What? You can't tell me you didn't have the same question on your mind!" He accused.

"I trust my son!" Truthfully, I did wonder. Trunks was too much like his father for the question not to wander into my thoughts.

"I didn't!" Trunks yelled again.

"I believe you." I calmed. "Now that you've confessed everything, here's your deal. You'll still be allowed to see Pan, but anything more than kissing will be punished. If your going to go out somewhere, tell us where your going. Got that?" He nodded fiercely. I knew he was just glad that he was still allowed to see her. I quickly glanced at the clock and realized to my relief it was 9:30 PM and time for bed. I immediately took control of the chance and announced I was going to bed.

"Are you going out tonight?" I checked.

"I doubt it, Pan is probably getting a longer lecture than me." He smiled at the thought. I nodded in agreement and headed up the stairs to my bedroom, followed by Vegeta. Before I reached the staircase, I was stopped by Trunks's voice.

"Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"You wouldn't mind if I asked you something would you?"

"No."

"Well, why has Dad been following you around everywhere?"

I looked over at Vegeta and he looked at me at the same time. I thought of an answer.

"So that I won't try to fly to Kami's tower." I answered, and quickly strode up the stairs to leave a confused Trunks still on the couch.

I reached my room and flopped onto my bed. I stared at the ceiling for not more than two minutes before I got up and opened my dresser. I pulled out whatever was on the top and changed into my nightgown in the bathroom. I turned the lights out and climbed under the blankets to end my Tuesday. In the dim light provided by the crack of my door, I could barely make out Zorro climbing back into the middle of his web after eating. 'Good night.' I thought.

"Good night, Vegeta." I said as I felt his weight lie down next to me. He made some awkward noise in response and I fell asleep to the sound of Bra's jabbing on the phone.

---

I woke up to find Vegeta awake and sitting on the bed waiting for me to wake up, and Zorro's web empty. 'It's Wednesday...' I thought.

"Hurry up and make breakfast." I heard Vegeta say. Annoyed, I staggeringly got out of bed and dressed in a soft, blue, long-sleeved shirt with dark blue jeans. I brushed my hair out and went downstairs to make breakfast, followed, of course, by Vegeta.

I lazily set the machines to make exactly what we had yesterday morning, and then went to the TV and flipped it on out of boredom. The News channel flashed out of it as they were having a report on cloning. I rolled my eyes at it and turned the channel wondering why they wanted to clone people. I ran across Angry Beavers, Oprah, Jerry Springer, The Faculty, a porno channel, WWF Wrestling, Dragon Ball Z, Jack Frost, Monsters Inc., Freddy Cougar (don't know how to spell that guy's last name), Jackass, Power Rangers, Barney, Blue's Clues, The Three Stooges, Teletubbies, Mr. Rogers, WCW Wrestling, Home Improvement, 101 Dalmations, The Emporer's New Groove, Sex in the City, Friends, the Simpsons, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, What Women Want, Maybe it's Me, Dawson's Creek, 7th Heaven, and Timon and Pumba before I disgustingly turned the television off seeing that there was nothing on. Frustrated, I walked back into the living room to see if breakfast was ready. Surely, my machines worked fast and it was ready. There's not much to go into about breakfast. There was food on the table, it disappeared; simple as that.

After breakfast was over, I cleared the table and waited for someone to break the silence. I didn't have to wait long.

"I'm going out." Trunks announced simply.

"Where?" Vegeta asked quickly, so that Trunks couldn't dart out the door too fast.

I saw him cringe from behind at the question, like a little that got caught sneaking off in the middle of the night with money. He slowly turned his head.

"To...Pan's house?" He whimpered, saying it like in an 'asking-permission' type of voice. Vegeta narrowed his eyes at the answer, then closed them all the way as his silent answer of an 'Alright.' Trunks smiled immediately and darted out the door as fast as a Super Saiyan Level 2 can possibly go. Vegeta sighed and rolled his eyes.

"It's not that big of a deal, Vegeta." I said.

"Maybe, but did she have to be Goku's grandchild?" He asked in a way that made you think he really didn't care. But Vegeta was extremely good at hiding his feelings, so it was to be expected that he didn't show any emotions in his sentences.

"Pan is a very nice young lady. I'm glad Trunks got hooked up with a strong, pretty, Saiyan girl." I reasoned.

"At least she's a Saiyan, not some weak human." He said in a mocking way. I snapped my head around and glared at him.

"What I don't have in strength I make up for in intelligence." I said coldly. He didn't reply, just resumed his solemn stance that made him look like he was meditating on the walls. I rolled my eyes at him. So confusing...

"What now?" I asked out of boredom..

"You've got all the intelligence here, you figure it out." He mocked. I glared at him again; it was beginning to become a habit.

Sorry that was so short! I wanted to get this chapter out as fast as possible since it was taking me so long. Well, the next chapter will be longer and it will begin the sequence of revealing the mystery of Bra and Vegeta!

Bulma gets a hold of Piccolo and has him communicate with Kami...
