The last time in „The Lost Warrior":

"Dende told us something about a battle that will take place in about one year." Bulma mumbled.

"So I think we must start to train her like a Saiyajin as soon as possible." Vegeta said.

"But when do you think she's ready for that?" Goten asked worried.

"What about now?" They heard a voice from the door. The group turned around and saw a smirking Jenny standing in the doorframe, arms crossed over her chest.

Chapter 8: „A Weekend To Relax"

As Jenny was sleeping in Trunks bed, she could feel him near her the whole time. Alone the knowledge that he was there let her sleep more peacefully. She first slowly woke up, when she felt Trunks kissing her and then whispering in her ear that he would come back soon and she finally woke up, when she couldn't feel his presence anymore in the room. So the girl got up and walked to the dining room, where she had heard voices.

~*~

The people in the room stared at her, as they heard what she had said. Trunks came up to her. He hugged her and kissed her gently on her forehead. "Do you really want to start now?" The girl in his arms looked directly in his eyes and nodded. He bowed his head so that their foreheads touched. "If it's that what you wish, I'm ready."

"NO WAY!" ChiChi suddenly shouted. All looked at her startled. "You won't start tonight! You two and Goten will go out tonight and relax!"

"But mom!"

"I think she's right Goten. The day was hard for all of us, but I think especially for you three. You need to think of something else. Why don't you call some friends and then go to the movies or to a club? You young people should have a good time," Bulma added.

"But Mrs. Briefs, I need to train."

"You can start next week. And I think ChiChi would agree with me, when I say that we won't allow you to train this weekend. That's my last word! Understood?!" Bulma told them, arms crossed over her chest, looking like Vegeta.

"Jenny, I think we have no other choice. When Trunks mother act like this, we have no other way than to obey her. It is even more worse when my, eh, our mother is on her side. We won't stay a chance against them."

"Goten is right. It seems, as if we must wait till next week," Trunks admitted in defeat.

Jenny first looked at ChiChi and then at Bulma and sighed. "Ok, I think you're right. We will go somewhere. But first I need something to eat. I'm starving," she added with a goofy grin.

"Now I really believe that you're a Saiyajin," Videl said laughing. "Come on, dinner is ready." She led her to the table and all the others sat down, too. During dinner all of them told Jenny different stories of their life. But mostly the funny ones, because they wanted to make it as easy as possible for Jenny.

After dinner the women told their husbands, that meant Gohan, Goku and Vegeta, to do the dirty dishes, because they wanted to talk to the teens about their planning for the evening. At first the men complained, especially Vegeta, because doing the dirty dishes wasn't a work for the Prince of all Saiyans, but Bulma convinced him by threatening him with sleeping on the couch for a week. "So, did you already decide what you want to do tonight?" Bulma asked them.

"I think going to the movies is a good idea, and I think too, we should bring some other friends along," Goten said.

"I will call Diana. Maybe she and her boyfriend Jenson want to come. I don't know if Gina or Alexandra would come, because they don't have a chance to get here, but I can call Naomi, Isabel and Shana, too. What do you think?" Jenny wanted to know.

"That's a very good idea!" ChiChi said cheerfully.

"Ok, then I'll drive home and we'll meet at 7.30pm in front of the cinema!" the girl told them, stood up and went to the door.

"Wait! We'll bring you downstairs!" Trunks and Goten shouted in unison and followed her instantly. Jenny shouted goodbye to the women and then left the room.

"So Bulma, do you think Trunks made a good choice with Jenny?" Videl asked.

Bulma nodded. "She's an nice girl and she's got an extremely strong will. She's the right one for a boy like Trunks. And ChiChi, are you curious about the girl Shana?"

"What? Why?"

"Oh, come on, didn't you see the look in your son's eyes when Jenny mentioned the name? I think he has fallen for her," the younger dark-haired woman told her.

As Jenny drove off, the boys waved after her. "Ok, Goten, we still got one hour. What do you want to do till we must get ready?"

"I think we still can spar for 30 minutes and then we should get ready." His friend nodded and soon they were in a sparring match.

~*~

In the car Jenny thought again about the day. She didn't know how she still could be sane with the knowledge she got today. Maybe it was her Saiyajinblood that made her mentally strong to accept her fate, but she didn't know. "Stop thinking about that now! Tonight you have to relax and you are not allowed to think about that!" she told herself. As she arrived home, she wondered why her parent's car was standing outside, because they should be away until the next day. Her parents were visiting some old friends, who'd moved away. Jenny parked her car next to her parents' and went into the house. Her parents were sitting in the kitchen. "Hi mom, hi dad! What are you doing here already? I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow."

"Lynn got ill, so we drove home one day earlier than planned. But where have you been all day long?" her mother asked.

"I was at Tom and Glenn the whole day. And now we decided to go to the movies with some other friends; that's why I'm here. I'll call the others and then take a shower."

"Do that. Do you want to eat something before you'll leave?"

"No thanx, I've already eaten." Suddenly she heard her telephone ring and stormed up the stairs trying to get the call before her answering machine will get it. She reached her receiver in time and took it. "Hello?"

"Hey Jenny! What's up? Where have you been all day? I tried to reach you, even on your cell-phone, but you didn't answer."

"Sorry Diana, but I forgot it as I went over to Tom this morning."

"You were with Tom? The whole day? Ok, tell me! I want to hear everything!" her friend demanded.

"When you have got time, I can tell you everything tonight. At dinner we decided to go to the movies. I wanted to call you and the others to ask if you want to come. So, do you? You can bring Jenson along, if you want."

"Sounds good, he isn't here yet, but I'll tell him when he got here. And who else did you want to call?"

"Gina, Alexandra, Shana, Isabel and Naomi."

"You know what? I'll call Alexandra and Shana. Then you can call the rest. When do we want to meet?"

"That's fine. We wanted to meet at 7.30 in front of the cinema. And by the way! Tell Shana that Glenn will be there! I'm sure she will come when she knows!" Jenny said grinning.

"Ok, bye!"

"Bye." After Jenny made her calls, she went for a shower, put on some make-up, what she just did, when she was going somewhere and then drove to the cinema.

As she got there, she looked at her watch. '7.28. Good, I'm not late.' She looked around and soon saw Trunks and Goten standing in a corner. Jenny walked towards them. "Hey you two!"

"Hey Jenny!" Goten greeted her.

"Hey," Trunks simply said and kissed her on her lips.

"So, will we three be the only ones, or will there come more?" the dark-haired boy asked slightly nervous.

"No, we won't be the only ones. Diana and her boyfriend agreed, no, Diana agreed and told her boyfriend to come with her. Gina couldn't come, because she didn't know how to get here and Isabel and Naomi didn't have time."

"And what about Alexandra and … Shana?" the boy asked getting a lot more nervous.

"Alexandra can't come for the same reason as Gina and Shana must be here any second. But first of all hello!" Diana and her boyfriend appeared.

"HeyHello!" the three greeted in unison.

"Jenson, these are Glenn and Tom. Glenn, Tom, this is my boyfriend Jenson. Jenny? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Before Jenny could answer, Diana dragged her away from the boys.

"Ok, Diana, I think this is far enough."

"Ok, so I want you to be honest. Did something happen between Tom and you?" Jenny nodded smiling.

"And what?"

"I think you can call us a couple by now."

"Wow! That's great!" her friend said a bit loudly.

"I think we should go in now. Shana is here," Jenny said pointing to the group exactly at the moment when Goten gently hugged Shana.

"Do you think we can call them a couple, too?" Diana asked her best friend.

Jenny shrugged grinning. "Maybe… But come on. We still must decide which movie we want to watch." So they went back to the group and walked in the hall. They decided to watch "What women want" with Mel Gibson, even though they all did see it already, but they didn't want to see the other movies.

The group took their sits in the last line in the corner of the hall. There were exactly six seats. On the right and left side of the line were walls. Jenson took his seat at the wall on the left side. Next to him sat Diana, then Jenny, Trunks, Goten and Shana at the other wall. During the movies the couples were mostly holding hands, but now and then Trunks gently stroke Jenny's cheek or they exchanged kisses. He wanted her to feel good after this day and he thought the only way he could make her feel that way was showing her how much he loved her. For Goten it was more difficult, because Jenny knew now everything about him, Trunks and their families. But Shana knew nothing. The boy didn't even know how she would react. He looked at her. 'How can I possibly tell you?' he thought.

"Tell me what?" she whispered to him.

"What?" he asked her startled.

"You just asked me how you could tell me something."

"I didn't say anything."

"You're sure?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, then I've just imagined that."

"I think so," Goten said and kissed her on the cheek.

About two hours later the group left the cinema. Diana and Jenson had to go home and the other four decided to go for a walk through the park. Jenny couldn't remember that she had ever been that happy in her life, even though it was still hard for her to accept the things she was told on this day. From the smile she saw on Shana's face, she could tell, that she was very happy, too. As Goten and Shana spotted a nearby bench, they told their friends that they would sit down a bit, but that the two shouldn't wait. Trunks and Jenny agreed and went on. About ten minutes later Trunks suddenly stopped and looked at Jenny. "Jenny? May I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Where's the most beautiful place you've ever been?"

"The most beautiful place I've ever been?" She thought for a moment. "I think that was the Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada, where we had a picnic at a lake as I was there in holidays last fall. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing important." Little did she know, why he had asked her that.

As they got back to Jenny's car, Trunks asked her, if she wanted to go to a picnic with him the next day and she agreed. After they said goodbye, Trunks went home, too. On his way he met Goten, who also brought Shana to her car. So they walked home together.

The next day, Jenny woke up quite early and was in a very good mood. "Did you have a good time yesterday?" her mother asked her at breakfast. The girl nodded. "And are you planning something for today?"

"Yes, I am. Tom asked me out for a picnic," she answered happy.

"I'm glad for you. When will he pick you up?"

"Around 12 o'clock."

"And where will you go?"

"I don't know. He said, it would be a surprise." With that Jenny finished her breakfast and went upstairs to get ready.

~*~

Meanwhile Trunks and Bulma were also having breakfast. Vegeta was somewhere to train with Goku and Bra was downstairs at Pan. Bulma noticed that her son was somehow nervous. "Are you ok honey?"

"Everything's alright, I'm just a bit nervous."

"Nervous? About what?"

"I will take Jenny out for a picnic today. And I don't know what she will say to the place I will take her. I want to surprise her."

"And may I ask where this place is?" His mother was getting curious.

"It's the Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada."

"Canada???"

"Yeah, I asked her yesterday where the most beautiful place is, where she had been, and she answered me, that it was in this park. So I decided to surprise her and take her there today."

"And how will you get there?"

"I asked myself the same question. First I wanted Goku to take us there, but then I decided against it and now I want to give her a first impression how it is to fly." As Trunks saw the concerned look on his mother's face he continued. "But don't worry. First I will drive somewhere where nobody is and then I will take off flying. I'll make sure, that no one will see us, I promise."

Bulma sighed. "Ok, but be careful!"

Exactly at 12 o'clock Trunks stood in front of the house were Jenny lives. He ringed and her mother opened the door. "Hello!"

"Good morning."

"Oh, you must be Tom. I'm glad to meet you. Jenny will be downstairs in a minute. Do you want to come in until she's ready?"

"Yeah, thank you. It's an honor to meet you," he said, bowing slightly. At this moment Jenny stormed downstairs. She wore dark-blue jeans and a tight red T-shirt.

"Hey Tom!" she greeted him.

"Hello Jenny." 'Wow, she's gorgeous!'

"So, have a good time both of you!" Jenny's mother said, giving Jenny her dark-blue denim jacket.

"Bye mom!"

"Bye Mrs. Collin!"

"And were are we going now?" Jenny asked.

"You'll see," Trunks answered, as he drove on different country lanes until they arrived in the middle of nowhere. When Trunk stopped the car, Jenny asked if that's the place where they will have their picnic. The boy didn't answer but told her instead of getting out of the car. Trunks pushed a button at his car and *poof* it was in a capsule.

"What was that? Where is the car?" a confused Jenny asked.

"This is the technology my grandfather invented in our dimension. The Capsule-Technology. With pushing a small button, you can put everything into those small capsules," he answered his girlfriend, showing her the capsule where the car was now in.

"Aha, can I ask you another question?"

"Sure."

"How should I call you? I mean, which name should I use?"

"When we are in public call me Tom, and when we're private it's up to you, which name you choose."

"Good, so, I'll call you Trunks. Somehow I like this name."

"Ok, now that we don't have this problem anymore, please close your eyes."

"What?"

"Close you eyes, please trust me." Jenny closed her eyes and Trunks picked her up and Trunks slowly took off in the air.

"Can I open my eyes now?"

"Yes you can, but don't get scared," he told her smirking.

"Oh come on, of what should I get scared. I'm here in your arms and…. Iiiiiieeeeeeek…. We're flying!" she shouted the last part of the sentence and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

"That's why I told you not to get scared," Trunks said now laughing.

"You idiot!" She punched him playful on his arm. "And where are we FLYING now?"

"That's a secret. And now my lady, I want you to enjoy your flight. I'm getting faster now." Trunks powered up and took directly off to Canada.

"Wow! That's great!" Jenny shouted excitedly.

"You can do that soon, too!"

"You're not serious!"

"I am! I promise you, soon I don't need to take you in my arms when we want to fly somewhere." So, they flew for about half an hour. "So, we're almost there. I want you to close your eyes again."

"Okay!" A few minutes later he landed.

'Good, no one else is here,' he thought. He put Jenny down and told her to open her eyes again.

"Oh my god… This can't be true." They stood at a lake in the middle of a forest. Jenny couldn't believe her eyes. They were standing at the same lake in the Algonquin Provincial Park at which she were last fall. She was simply speechless and as Trunks embraced her from behind she just murmured, "Thank you."

They stood there like this for a while until Trunks turned her around and they looked each other deep in their eyes. Jenny gently kissed Trunks on his lips and as they pulled apart Trunks asked Jenny, if she were hungry. At exactly this moment her stomach growled. "I take that as a yes," he said smiling and put out a capsule. He pushed the button and threw it away. A few seconds later was there a blanket with a huge amount of food on the grass.

"So, you can also put food into these capsules? I think I begin to like your grandfather, even though I don't know him." She laughed and sat down on the blanket. Trunks sat down across her and they began to eat. About half an hour later, the food was gone and the couple laid on the blanket. "I never thought, I could come back here. It's so beautiful. I don't know how I can thank you for this."

"You don't need to thank me for it. I just wanted you to be happy."

"Right now I think I'm the happiest person on this planet."

For the rest of the day they were just talking or just laying there in silence. After a few hours they decided that it would be the best to fly home now, because both of them had still something to do for school. As they arrived at the country lane, where they left, Trunks took out the capsule and *poof* the car was standing in front of them. So they got in the car and Trunks drove Jenny home. About 20 minutes later, they arrived at her home and Trunks gave her a long and passionate goodbye kiss. "But tomorrow, we'll start training, right?"

"Right."

"Ok, I see you in school! Goodnight!"

"Goodnight Jenny." He gave her one last kiss as she got out of the car.

Mrs. and Mr. Collin greeted Jenny, as she went into the house. "Hello Jenny! And? How was it?" her mother asked her.

"Great!"

"And where have you been?" Jenny's father wanted to know.

"Tom found a lake in a forest, don't ask me where, and there we had a great time. But now I'm tired and I still have to do some homework. So, excuse me please." With that Jenny went upstairs and quickly made her homework. After she finished her homework, she went downstairs to say goodnight to her parents and went to bed. Her last thought before she drifted to sleep was how incredible this day had been.
