*Chapter 12*
.:: The Plan ::.

Rosemary woke up the next morning with a killer head ache. She when downstairs dizzy, dazed, and grumpy.
Jacko was so tired and dazed he munched on the table, he didn't realize this until he got to the table leg. Koi stared with his mouth wide open and drool coming out.
"I knew it taste splintery." He murmured and fell asleep.
"Where is everyone?" Rosemary asked Sushi who was sitting at the table sketching what seemed to be blue prints.
"They went to see if the soldiers found our armour." She looked up and continued to draw.
"Hmm…" Rosemary hesitated and finally ran out the door and flew to the ruins of her old home.

When she landed she found Ika and Vegeta sparring outside. Both equip with a new set of armour. Ika was kicking Vegeta's butt, but Vegeta wasn't doing so bad himself. They seem to have an equal amount of strength, but were also storing a lot of potential energy.
Rosemary figured the soldiers hadn't found there hide out and decided not to bother the two sayians. So she climbed down the steps and into the vault.
"Well, well, look who's up." Unagi smirked in a new set of armor.
"Save it for someone who cares." Rosemary smart-mouthed and saw Bulma wearing a scouter that her laptop was hooked up to. "What'cha doing human?"
Bulma looked up, "It's Bulma."
"Sorry… Bulma." Rosemary corrected herself and came over.
"I'm trying to hack my way into the castle's computers using the data for a prince's scouter, but it's not working."
"Of coarse it's not working!" Rosemary exclaimed, "You think boneheads like my father know how to use computers? Men who wear slip on boots so that they don't have to learn how to tie shoe laces?"
"You don't have any computers?!"
"We have computers but they're all set up in the first class camp."
"Great…" Bulma rolled her eyes.
"What were you trying to do anyway?" Rosemary asked.
"I was trying to block of the castles main power line so that the security would be shut down."
"Good luck doing that, the place is secured by guards--- kind of like those mid-evil times of yours."
"That's just perfect." Bulma said sarcastically.
"It's alright B-chan, you tried." Rosemary gave Bulma a pat on the back and got up.
~ B-chan? ~ Bulma wondered, so did Trunks.
"Trunks, I need to talk to you." Rosemary whispered to Trunks, "In private."
Trunks looked around then whispered back, "Yeah, sure."
Rosemary pulled Trunks into one of the dressing rooms and sat him down.
"I have something I really need to get off my back." She paced back and forth.
"Go ahead." Trunks insisted.
Rosemary kneeled in front of him and looked into his blue eyes, "I-I love you."
Trunks was shocked at first then smiled gently at her, "I do too."
"No, you don't understand." Rosemary got up on her knees and leaned against him so that their foreheads touched, "I REALLY love you."
This made Trunks a little uncomfortable as he swallowed hard.
"I don't mean to pressure you or anything." Rosemary backed up a little, "I just feel, if I'm going to die, at least I'll die knowing that you know how I feel about you."
Trunks took her faces in his hands, "You're not going to die! We won't let you!"
Rosemary grabbed onto one of Trunks hands shocked, "We?"
"All of us… and if Jacko, Sushi, and the other can't save you… I'll be damned if I don't!" Trunks let her face go.
Rosemary blushed for some reason and held her cheek as she looked down. She was having one of those moment's again. The ones where here resemblance to a human is uncanny.
Just then Unagi ran in, "Trouble at home! Gotta move! NOW!"
Trunks and Rosemary got up and flew off with the others.

"So, the cavalry has arrived." Sarge sat in a chair with his back to the group as they charged in.
"What did you do to my son, shit-bag?!" Ika shouted.
"Your son is fine Ika." Sarge replied, "I can't say the same for your manners though."
"Manners? I don't need no god damn manners." Ika spitted.
"Now, now." Sarge got up and turned around towards them, "That's not very polite."
~ He reminds me some much like Tofu. My dad must train all his men to be jack-asses. ~ Rosemary thought scowling at Sarge.
"Where's my god damn brat?!" Ika hissed.
"Where he should be, away from you." Sarge's eyes narrowed, "You should know better then to deceive the king! You know very well that all children past there fundamentals live alone."
"What?! That's stupid!!!" Bulma snapped and Vegeta held her back and covered her mouth.
"This is not your place woman." He whispered to her, "Unless you want to die, shut up."
"We won't ask you again," Unagi started angrily, "where's our son?"
"In the castle." Sarge answered.
"Where's Sushi and Koi?" Rosemary asked.
"Tied up in the basement." Sarge replied simply.
"I want my son back and I want him now." Unagi said calmly, but coldly and full of anger.
"Oh I'll give him to you," Sarge nodded, "as long as the princess comes along."
"No deal!" Trunks snarled.
"Deal." Rosemary nodded and everyone looked at her.
"Coward." Ika muttered to herself.
Rosemary eyed her and looked back at Sarge, "I got your little letter yesterday."
"Oh good. I hope you enjoyed it." He smirked, "Anything you want to do before I bring you to the castle?"
Rosemary thought for a moment then nodded, "Yes, there is one thing."
"Okay, make it fast." Sarge rolled his eyes.
Rosemary looked Trunks in the eye and before she knew it she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
When they finally stopped they were both out of breath.
"They always say…" Rosemary started to whisper, "the first kiss… lasts forever… but I say if the second one has more love… it lasts for eternity."
Trunks stared down at her dazed. Rosemary smiled at him, let go of his neck and left with Sarge.
"Damn him! Damn him!! Damn him!!!" Ika stomped once the two were gone as everyone stared at Trunks wide-eyed.
He scratched his head and looked away from all the staring eyes.
"Oh! My little Trunks has a girl friend!" Bulma hugged Trunks, "How they grow!"
"C'mon mom, cut it out." Trunks said.
Meanwhile, Unagi had let Sushi and Koi out the basement.
"We've got trouble!" Sushi exclaimed, "They're planning on killing Rosemary!"
"What else is new." Vegeta shrugged.
"Great," Ika muttered, "now we've got a war and a rescue mission on our hands. Isn't this fine and dandy?"
