Dragonball Z: Lost Dimension
Chapter 3: Fishing
Disclaimer: I own my original characters, but nothing else sorry.
AN: Yes I do believe in Trunks+Pan, but this Trunks is different from the regular Trunks, not the same guy. Lived with Vegeta, has different hair, lived with Vegeta, likes business, Oh, did I mention lived with Vegeta. And I don't now how the classes go in Japan or in the Dragonball Z world so I made it up. You never know.......
Gokien yawned for what seemed the fifth time today. She was so bored, it wasn't that she didn't like school it was just, God!! She could teach this class. Everything she was in was Advanced in some ways, it was amazing, as Gohan and Vegeta put it, for her to be Goku's daughter. She never met the man but it was said he was dumber than a tack. So no one really knew how she could be so smart, must have been a strange gene, they would say. And she was capital B bored, last class of the day, she couldn't wait to get out of this hell hole. After ten more minutes of hearing the teacher go on and on about the body's digestive system, she took a good look at her senior schedule:
1st: Advanced Calculus
2nd: Astronomy
3rd: Shakespeare 4 (with Goten) (AN: you could believe it, I mean how do you think he gets girls)
4th: Chorus/Lunch (with Trunks and Goten)
5th: German 4
6th: World History 4
7th: Advanced Business (with Trunks)
8th: Health (with Goten and Trunks)
9th: Gym (with Trunks)
10th: Advanced Anatomy
5:00 go home.
Gokien watched the teacher come around with two worksheets, each with a model of a body on them, what did she think they were in 5th grade or what? She quickly filled out her sheet with no problems, then she looked out the window, ignoring Martin, who always asked her for the answers.
She really didn't like going to the city, there was no room, even as she looked out the window. All she saw was cars, streets and buildings, unlike her mountain home where she could look out her window and see green grass, trees and smell the crisp fresh air. Gokien zoned out for a while till she heard the bell sound, she quickly stood up and gathered her books into her bag, she couldn't be late for track practice today.
"Gokien!"
She cringed, Mrs.Wilder.
"Why were you, praytell, looking out the window the whole class?"
"I was done with my work."
"I don't care, you may be the smartest student in this city, but you will not take me for granted!" Mrs.Wilder glared at the shorter girl." Do you understand Miss Son?"
Gokien bowed her head, she hated being yelled at, but who could blame her Anatomy was boring.
"Yes Mam"
"Good, now run along, and don't forget the homework on page 345, 1-79!"
Gokien practically ran for the door but before she was out the door she yelled."I already did it!"
Mrs.Wilder shook her head, that girl was going to be great some day, she could tell.
*~*~*~*
"Zoned out again?"
Gokien panted as she ran her 25th lap, she wasn't tired but she wanted the coach to think that, and anyone within seeing range, Trunks looked about the same. Except he of course looked better in his jersey.
"Nope, Mrs.Wilder just gave me another lecture because I was looking out the window."
"Ouch, harsh, even I don't push Mrs.Wilder's Buttons, too risky."
"I didn't do anything." Gokien decided to change the subject. "How's the job thing coming along?"
Trunks picked up his pace a little making Gokien do the same with hers.
"It's good, but I have to find a job that won't require a college diploma."
"I still don't understand why you don't want to go to SCU, I mean you did get a application?"
"Yeah, I did, but I didn't want to go, you know, spend 4 years there, plus waiting 7 years just to get in because of the stupid age restriction,"
"Yeah, I know, but SCU, that gives the best education out there!"
"Yeah, I know, but I love business,"Trunks smiled at her, "Hey, how many acceptances have you had 20?"
"Close enough, 12, but like I said I am going to go to South City University, maybe there I will find something I love doing," Gokien smiled to herself, SCU gave the best teaching in the country and had some of the greatest teachers working there. Plus it was sponsored by Bulma Briefs herself, it would be the highlight of her life to go there, she looked over at Trunks. She knew Trunks only wanted one thing, to be in business, to own a company. It was his greatest dream, he could talk about it nonstop, and she really envied him, he knew exactly what he wanted.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
She looked away "Nothing."
"You sure?"
"Yes I'm sure."
"Okay, hey I wa....."
The last bell rang, telling everyone the school was going to close in 10 minutes.
"What were you going to say Trunks?"
"Nothing, come on, let's go."
"Okay."
Gokien quickly took a shower for the boys would in there locker room soon. See the boys had a small hole in the wall so they could look in on girls showering. So as soon as Gokien showered she changed into clean clothes she ran outside to see Trunks in his T shirt and jeans, they both blasted off at the same time and flew at incredible speeds to see who could pass over the lake the fastest.
It took them only 5 minutes to get to the spot they had planned. Gokien looked around, Goten was nowhere in sight, God! He was probably with another woman again, sometimes her brother was such a dumbass, he wouldn't answer her telepathic calls either.
Trunks looked over at her, and he sensed her discomfort.
"You can't find him can you?"
"No, I can't. What are we going to do now?" Gokien looked down, they had just passed over Orange Lake. "We were all supposed to go fishing!"
"I know......hey! You want to spar for awhile, maybe he'll come by."
"I guess so," Gokien waited for Trunks to go down first before she followed him. She loved sparring but then again she was a girl, saiyan girls weren't really that good till the full moon, then they could kick some ass. She landed on the grassy plain and looked at Trunks, he was already in position waiting for her to make the first move. Gokien mirrored his actions and got into position, still he waited.
She smirked. "Quite the gentleman aren't we, well don't you dare try to go easy on me!"
Gokien skimmed the grass as she attacked Trunks going at a speed that could not be seen by the normal eye.
Trunks grinned and punched, but came in contact with only air, his eyes widened, and he twisted around to block Gokien's barrage of punches. She moved gracefully and quickly, but her power was lacking, Trunks grabbed on of her arms and reeled her around.
Gokien tried to catch herself but failed and fell to the ground, but before Trunks hit her down again she pivoted and lifted her leg bringing her foot to his face, she watched as he twisted and fell.
Gokien hit the ground hard, but quickly regained herself and jumped up, before she knew what happened she was punched. Trunks then sent her a uppercut, and was thanked with a hard kick in the shin, he ignored the tiny pain in his leg and punched, he then hit the dust when Gokien uppercutted him in the stomach then kneed him in the head.
He flipped up and took Gokien 's legs from under her, Gokien levitated before she hit the ground, and flew up barraging Trunks with punches.
"YO!!!! GUYS!!!!"
Trunks looked up, which took his concentration, and Gokien delivered him a hard punch to the nose.
"OWWWWW!!!! JEEZ GOKIEN!!!" Trunks yelled holding his nose.
Gokien covered her mouth, "Oh! Trunks I'm so sorry!"
"Yo, Trunks you okay?"
Trunks looked at Goten and giggling girl he was carrying. Gokien tried to move his hands.
"You have to let me look at it."
"Look I'm fine," his hands left his nose, he tried to wiggle it and his eyes closed in pain.
"It's broken, good work Trunks." Gokien smiled as she tried to touch his nose and he squirmed.
Trunks felt pain shoot through his nose when she touched it, but he wanted to smile, his dream girl was touching him. He took her hand and for a second she stared into his eyes, until Goten poked him. Trunks groaned and turned around.
"Darn man, my sis really did you in didn't she?" Goten smiled his Son smile, the girl next to him just giggled even more.
"You want to back up those words?" Trunks said smiling.
"Anytime!"Goten gave him the victory sign and grinned.
"I think you would win Goten-sama," The girl squealed.
God that hurt my ears Gokien thought, while holding her ears.
"Just to let you know girl, Trunks would win!" Gokien exclaimed with her hands on her hips.
Trunks turned to her and smiled.
"Hey! You're supposed to be on my side!" Goten pouted.
"Says who!"
"I still think Goten-sama would win!" The girl said flipping her hair.
Gokien cringed not only at her voice but when did SHE start calling her brother 'Goten-sama'! When did she first meet him! 10 minutes ago?
"Physically to you, he would win, but technically, he can't! Trunks is stronger." Gokien smirked.
Goten scratched his head. "Well, it is true."
Trunks sighed. "Can we just go!"
Gokien smiled. "My thoughts exactly, Trunks, besides we need to fix your nose."
"By the way, who's the girl?" Gokien said knowingly.
Goten's eyes widened, and he grabbed the girl by the story. "How stupid of me! This is Kaci, Kaci this is my sister Gokien and my friend Trunks, I invited her for fishing!"
Gokien rolled her eyes, of course he did.
Goten smiled. "I knew it would be okay right Gokien?"
Gokien smiled innocently. "Of course my dear brother."
Kaci grinned at Trunks with lidded eyes. "Trunks, huh? I like that name."
Trunks squirmed and Gokien glared at Kaci and Goten just stood in shock. Kaci edged up to Trunks and batted her black lashes.
Gokien quickly opened her telepathic link.
"Where in hell did you find this girl?"
"I was at the mall"
"So you just picked her up!"
"Yep!"
"Oh, that's just great she's practically feeling Trunks up!"
"Well do something about it!!!!!"
"Well, she's your date!"
"Then pretend Trunks is your boyfriend"
"WHAT!!??"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Would you rather keep on watching this".
"No."
"Then go up to her and tell her off, please, she took me a long time to get."
"Fine!!!! But you sooooooo owe me!"
"I owe you a lot of times don't I."
"Yes, you do!"
Gokien walked over and stood next to Kaci and Trunks. "Excuse me but would you get your hands off my boyfriend."
Kaci looked her up and down the removed herself from Trunks who was looking at Gokien wide eyed. Did she just say boyfriend????
Kaci sneered quietly and walked over to Goten who lifted her up ready to take off.
"Prove it!"
Gokien looked at her quizzingly. "What?"
"Prove he's your boyfriend."
Gokien looked at Trunks who was feeling like a toy at the moment. "Fine."
Gokien gave Trunks a look that said 'sorry' and she quickly grabbed his head and kissed him. She really needed this to look real, so she slipped her tongue into his mouth and luckily he responded, this wasn't half bad.
Goten stared wide eyed. There right in front of him was his sister and best friend frenching! And they weren't stopping! And they were looking like they liked it!!
Trunks, of course, was in heaven. His tongue, his 'tongue' was actually touching Gokien's, GOD he wished this wouldn't stop. He groaned, as she pushed her chest to his. This was beyond heaven, this was even better than all of his dreams put together.
Gokien smiled as she heard Trunks groan. She pulled her tongue back and disengaged, opening her eyes, they came to see Kaci growling and Goten eye's popping and jaw dropped.
"Proof enough, Kac."
"Whatever, are we going to fish or what?"
Gokien smirked as Goten shook his head, taking off slowly so as not to drop Kaci. Trunks smiled a goofy smile and blasted off, Gokien shook her head and followed her fake boyfriend.
Gokien flew close to Trunks to talk to him.
"You do know I was acting right?"
Trunks's heart dropped, she had been acting the whole thing. He had really thought she had meant it, this really hurt, she still thought of him as a friend.
"I mean, Goten needed to control his date, so he asked me to pretend to be your boyfriend."
"Yeah."
"We have to pretend till Kaci goes home."
Trunks nodded sadly, hey he really should make this great while it lasted. "Sure."
"You okay?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh, okay." Gokien didn't like the look on Trunks' face, he looked crushed, maybe he had liked that girl on him, or maybe he was disgusted that she had kissed him. She shrugged it off and flew faster. Soon the boys caught up, ready to land Gokien motioned to a good spot next to the lake. Trunks and Goten nodded and landed, Goten landing a little slower, so as not to drop Kaci. Gokien followed her friend and brother, her feet touched the ground in perfect ease, then she lowered herself all the way down, onto the soft grass.
Goten smiled, it had been a long time since they had gone fishing, this would really bring back old memories. He was happy for Gokien too, this had been her idea, he and Trunks had backed her up when Vegeta had forbidden it. He breathed in the sweet smells of the earth and water, and he let go of Kaci who laid down on the grass. Goten walked up to the edge of the bank looking into the water, he saw the fish swimming around, the water was so clear, crystal clear, you might say.
Trunks smiled, his two friends were really taking this seriously, one lying down really enjoying herself, one looking at the water as if it was a treasure. They really loved this, just like their father said Vegeta, his father had told him all about Goku, or Kakarott. The man had loved the simpler things in life that one sometimes takes for granted, how he could stop and look at something ugly, and see something beautiful, the man must have been great at his time. Trunks pondered at what it would be like if Goku had lived, would his two best friends have a father, would Chichi be alive, would he even know Gokien like he knew her now, would they be enemies, what would have happened between them. He decided that he really should leave those kinds of thoughts alone, and stick to the present not the past. This was his reality.
"Hey! How are we going to fish? We have no rods!" Kaci asked, causing Goten and Trunks to smile.
"Don't worry we'll improvise." Goten said slipping his shirt over his head.
Trunks smirked at the girl's reaction and echoed Goten's movement. Slipping his tight t-shirt over his head, he dived into the lake.
"You're serious?" Kaci asked Goten.
He smiled and jumped into the lake, diving far below the water level. Gokien got up and bent over the water's edge, she couldn't find her brother or Trunks. She turned around to face Kaci.
"Hey, where did they go?" she asked then felt something on her foot, she looked down, and before she knew it she was spitting up water. And she hit Trunks on the shoulder, hard, causing him to spit up water as well. Goten wadded around in the water and laughed his head off, even Kaci giggled. This caused Gokien to burn, you could almost see the smoke come out of her ears. Trunks chuckled and avoided another blow to the shoulder, and swam away. Gokien fumed and dived, she swam quickly trying to catch up to Trunks, she came from underneath him and lifted him out of the water. Trunks wriggled, trying to get out of the girl's grasp, but she held him tight, she then levitated, and threw Trunks into the water.
Goten laughed his head off, he looked up at Gokien to see her smirking. He let out a little 'eep' and dived under the water. Gokien smiled as Trunks came up from the water, then she turned around and dived, going after her brother. Trunks shook his head as Gokien swam after his best friend, he then dived, watching the water around him. Soon he saw a huge fish, sharp teeth, great fins, now this was a fish! Trunks smirked and swam after it, which was a very bad idea because when he got too close the fish hit him with his back fin, he had to come up for air at that time. Trunks breathed in the sweet air then went under the water again, he saw the fish. Making sure the animal was not watching him, he darted to the side of the fish, pulling his fist back he punched the fish right in the gills. The animal cried out in pain, which gave Trunks enough time to drag it out of the water, when he came up he gasped for air then looked around, Gokien was dunking Goten and Kaci was watching and laughing. He swam to the shore and flew up just enough to put the fish on the bank, the sheer size of the thing made Kaci squeal in fright, and Gokien and Goten lick their lips, tonight they were going to feast.
*~*~*~*
Gokien waited patiently as Goten said good bye to Kaci as he dropped her off.
"Bye bye Goten-sama, see you at school!" Kaci waved as Goten flew up to his friends.
Trunks pulled the fish to his other shoulder and sighed. Gokien smiled, you catch it you carry it. Finally with a nod from Goten they blasted off toward the house. She smiled, this day was really interesting, a great thing to write about in her diary. She looked over at Goten, he was smiling, no doubt he had gotten a kiss from Kaci, but then again, Kaci wasn't so bad, her brother could have done a LOT worse. Then she turned her attention to Trunks, who looked annoyed for having to carry a huge fish on his back. She chuckled he was going to be complaining of fish smell in the morning, and he still needed a senzu bean for his nose, she would have to get that! She stopped suddenly causing Goten to run into Trunks.
Trunks looked at her weirdly. "What's wrong?"
Gokien smiled. "Nothing, but I have to go to Kami's for a while."
Goten looked at her coaxingly. "What for?"
"For a senzu bean, just go on without me okay?" Gokien didn't wait for there answer and she blasted off.
*~*~*~*
"A senzu bean, well sure Gokien."
"Thanks Koran!" She smiled down at the cat.
"Sure, let me go get some."
Gokien waited patiently for the cat to come over with a little bag, he popped out one and gave her it.
"Thank you," Gokien said as she put the bean into her pocket and zipped it up. "I'll see you soon!"
With that she ran to the balcony and jumped.
Koran shook his head, kids, when would they ever slow down.
*~*~*~*
AN: Geez, 10 pages, phew! I outdid myself this time, well what can I say, once I started I couldn't stop!
Next time: Trunks gets a letter, offering him a job, a home, a new life. But he would have to leave his father, his best friend, his love all behind him if he want this job, which will he choose..........
