Mixed Emotions?
Mana and Bulma finally reached the party, making Mana gasp in surprise. It was a wild house! Bulma stood beside her, pointing out everyone in the room. Goku and Goten were pigging out at the catered food table, Master Roshi was chasing Videl and 18, making Gohan and Krillin chase after him. Oolong and Puuar were having a shape shifting contest in the back, Uubu was blushing furiously as Bra continued to talk to him about various girl stuff, and Hercule was telling his `heroic' stories to absolutely no one. And Pan was looking everywhere for something Mana just couldn't place. The walls were decorated with balloons and a big sign hung down from the ceiling, saying `Welcome home Mana!' Chi chi was guarding it from Buu's dog while Buu joined the eating frenzy at the food table. Mana Watched as Vegeta entered the room and gave her a smug look, he was soon followed by a dazed Trunks. `What's the story there?' Mana asked herself. Her train of thought was cut off however as she
could feel everyone's eyes fall on her. "?"
"Mana?" Gohan stopped chasing master Roshi and took a step towards her, shocked. Goku and Goten also stopped their actions to take a step towards her.
"Wow sis! You look great!" Goten said enthusiastically.
Goku nodded in agreement, "Hai! You look almost like me!" he claimed smiling.
Gohan finally stopped advancing only to disappear and reappear a second later behind her. "What's this?" He said more then asked, grabbing her tail lightly.
Mana froze as she could feel his hand on her tail. Something inside her stirred.
Chi Chi shot up and ran over to her daughter, rapping her in a tight hug. "MMMmmm! Finally! Someone who won't want to fight!" She exclaimed, her embrace tightening.
"...Air!" Mana gasped, after being held after a few minutes. Chi Chi backed up so suddenly that Mana fell forward, causing Gohan's grip around her tail to tighten. Half way through her fall, Mana let out a sharp scream as she felt her tail being stained. Then she stopped. She stopped moving, breathing and blinking. Pain shot through her body, paralyzing every muscle she'd ever owned.
Gohan and everyone stood in complete silence until Trunks raced up to Gohan and slapped his hand off of Mana's tail. She fell to the ground with a Thump and Trunks turned to Gohan fire in his eyes, "You idiot! Don't you know how much it hurts to have your tail pulled!?" He shouted.
Gohan stared back at Trunks surprised. `Nani? What's up? Trunks never talks to me like this!' He thought. "... No."
Trunks however, refused to believe it, "Are you trying to tell me you've never had a tail before?" He roared.
Gohan frowned, "No. I-"
Trunks didn't let him finish. Instead he turned Super and punched Gohan in the stomach. HARD.
Gohan felt his breath escape his lips and fell to the floor on his knees.
Everyone watched amazed.
Trunks was just about to kick Gohan until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Surprised, he turned around to face Mana. Mana looked him in the eyes and frowned, "You jerk." She muttered, punching him in the gut.
It was Trunks's turn to kneel down in agony. This time however the pain was real. It was in his heart. Hurt he looked up at Mana who just narrowed her eyes and turned around, leaving him to stare at her retreating back. "Mana..." He groaned.
Mana stopped head lowered. "Trunks... " She suddenly turned, fists raised. "That's my brother you jerk!" She yelled, running towards him and knocking him out a nearby window. Enraged she followed him and stuck a hand out, a bright blue beam shooting from it. Trunks looked at it warily as he heard her next words, "Die!" She snarled, kicking him off into the distance. As she followed him again, Goku and the others were left in shock. Finally after a couple of minutes, Bulma turned and cheerfully asked, "Punch anyone?"
*
As Trunks flew through the air he was able to see Mana racing after him. He frowned and stopped himself in the air. Waiting for her to reach him.
Mana stopped in front of him. Her frown turning into a cheerful smile. "I'm a good actor, ne?"
Trunks smiled, "I should say so, you even had me fooled!"
Mana winked, "c'mon! If we don't hide our ki, they'll come after us, wondering what we're doing!" She claimed. So with that, the two demi- sayjins let out a sharp ki flash then landed on the ground below right by the sea.

Mana stopped in front of a large bolder and stretched before sitting down. The plan had worked perfectly! Mana smiled and turned her head to catch a glimpse of Trunks. A blush crept onto her cheeks as she watched his lavender hair sway in the cool breeze. He was staring off into the distance, a confused look in his eyes and a frown on his face. Trunks must really know my mother and Gohan...
**********************************FLASHBACK**************************
Trunks's gaze made Mana shiver and blush again. "What "thing'?"
"Ummm..." Mana bit her lip and uncurled her tail from her waist. She could now sort of control it... "This..."
Trunks looked at her tail in surprise, "Is that what you were shouting about last night?" He asked.
Mana nodded.
"Wow, Didn't know it could hurt that bad..." Trunks muttered, staring at her tail thoughtfully. There was a moment of silence before,...
"Hey, Listen, Mom's talking about a big party for you, you know, to welcome you back and all and..."
"And?"
"... Umm... Listen, I have a plan..."
5 minutes later,
"Wow!" Mana whispered, enthusiastically, "Do you think'll work?"
Trunks nodded, "I'm sure it'll work."
"Trunks, Mana!" Bra appeared in the doorway, a cheerful look on her face,
************************END OF FLASHBACK**********************
Trunks sighed and let himself space out, `don't forget to mark her? ... What was he talking about? ... Wait! Could this tail thing be a part of the mating ritual he was telling me about a while back?' Trunks blushed and let his eyes wonder over to Mana before quickly snapping back to their original places. "Nah... But then again..."
********************'Nother FLASHBACK***************************
Trunks watched as his father squirmed uncomfortably in front of him before continuing. "... Anyway... As you know, one day you'll have to choose a mate. And when you do, you'll have to know how to go about it properly.." Vegeta faked a cough before continuing.
"..."
3 hours later
Trunks was now officially red, as was Vegeta, but still he continued. "Another way to ... Trunks's blush grew brighter as he continued. "..."
7 hours later
"And that's how you bond, mate and... yeah..." Vegeta finished, his and Trunks's faces as red as a tomato.
"Gee... Thanks dad!... I think..."
****************************END O' FLASHBACK************************
Mana watched as Trunks began to blush and giggled, "What's on your mind?" She asked, cocking her head to the side.
Mana's voice snapped Trunks out of his thoughts making him turn his head abruptly to face her's. "nothing." He said, a little to quickly.
"Nothing eh?" Mana shook her head and looked toward the clear lake in front of them.
Trunks stared at her a little while longer before he realized his eyes kept darting her neck. `Don't forget to mark her.' Vegeta's words rang through his head, repeating over and over until he couldn't take it any more and stood, fists clenched.
Mana however, took no notice of this and smiled, a smile that melted Trunks's heart as he approached her. "Hey Trunks... What did your-" Mana was cut off as she was suddenly tackled by Trunks. "Trunks!?" She shouted, shoving him into the lake, surprised he would make such a bold move.
Trunks shivered as he hit the cold water and gasped as he realized what he had just done. As soon as he emerged, he looked around desperately for Mana, hoping to apologize but had no such luck. Instead, Mana crept up behind him and grabbed his head, forcing it underwater. Trunks grinned and spun around, grabbing her torso and pulling down, making her sink with him. Mana struggled desperately to escape his grasp but failed when he began to tickle her. Mana began to let out loud giggles underwater and soon, her tail jumped into action and wrapped itself around his right wrist and pulled. Trunks's tickling actions continued but his eyes left her laughing face to settle on the object gripping his arm. `Don't forget to mark her....' His father's words still rung in his head. Hastily, he shook his head, attempting to rid himself of the words but they just came coming.
Mana could soon feel her lungs being denied air and she began to focus all her energy to surfacing, Trunks soon noticed the problem and stopped tickling her and grabbed her waist more firmly before jetting them both to the surface. They both emerged wet and laughing. Mana could still feel Trunks's firm hands on her waist and brought her eyes to meet his. They both stared at each other, inching closer and closer by the second until their lips almost touched, then,
"I knew it!"
Startled, Mana and Trunks's heads pulled back and snapped to the source of the voice.
Trunks groaned mentally upon seeing Pan flying just above them, hands on hips and a giant frown on her face. Her eyes were cold and unforgiving as she continued. "I knew something was up when you started talking to my dad that way Trunks!" She shouted, "But what I don't understand is how you could fall for such a cry baby hussy like that girl!" She yelled, pointing to Mana.
Mana growled and began to rise up from the water when Trunks stopped her. "No, let me handle this." Mana nodded and watched as Trunks lifted up from the water, releasing her from his grasp. She watched as Trunks stopped right beside her niece and wave. Mana's eyes fixed on the newcomers. "Oh, great!" Mana muttered as she watched the whole party fly towards the trio.
