DETERMINATION OF A GIRL

PT. 6

In part 5, Trunks told Mimi about her future self over lunch. After that, they went and continued their training to make Mimi into a Super-Saiyan. Trunks beat her up to make her furious which finally resulted in her turning Super. She collapsed from exhaustion so Trunks took her to her bed.

* * * *

Mimi opened her eyes slowly and found herself in bed. The last thing she remembered was Trunks apologising for messing up her `pretty' face. She smiled at the thought as she sat up. She got out of bed and slid through the curtains. What's that boy up to? she wondered. She looked up at the big clock on the ceiling. It was six in the evening, meaning she had napped for almost two hours. Trunks wouldn't be training at such an hour would he? She checked anyway, but he was not there. She then checked his bed and then the kitchen but there was no sign of him, meaning the only place he could be was the bathroom. She walked over to the bathroom door and peeked through the crack. All she could see was his purple hair and one arm hanging out of the steaming bathtub. Man, I could do with a bath myself, she thought as she made her way to the fridge to get a cold drink.

Trunks opened his eyes to the sound of the fridge opening.

"Hey Mimi! You finally up? I've been lonely for the last couple of hours!" he shouted.

"Hey I doubt that," he heard her laugh. "What could be better than relaxing in a hot bath?! Just the sound of `hot bath' is tempting. Hurry up would ya?!" she called.

"Right," he replied.

Mimi sat at the table while sipping her glass of water. She heard the creak of the door opening and turned around. Trunks emerged with a towel around his waist. He walked over to Mimi and sat down at the table opposite her. She couldn't help herself from staring at his bare chest. She looked down to avoid making it obvious.

"Well being a Saiyan, your bruises seem to have almost completely healed," he said.

"Great. If you left me any scars, I would have done more than scar you," she joked.

Trunks laughed then got up from the table. He walked over to his bed and hid behind the curtains to get dressed.

"I'll go and have a bath, ok?!" she called.

"Yeah, go ahead," he answered.

Mimi walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She turned on the water and undressed while the tub filled. She checked out her reflection in the mirror and ran a finger over her bruises and cuts. The bruises had almost completely vanished and her cuts had turned into scratches. Excellent, she thought as she turned her back on the mirror and turned off the tap. She slid into the bathtub, letting out a long sigh.

Trunks dressed into the only item of clothing he brought with him besides the clothes her wore the first day they entered the Chamber. He came out from behind the curtains in dark blue boxer shorts, similar to Vegeta's. He sat down at the table and waited for Mimi to come out. The days were so boring when they weren't training and he had trouble talking to girls.

* * * *

Meanwhile, outside the Chamber, Bulma was thinking about Mimi. She remembered the day when she saw Trunks come out of the Chamber. He had grown up quite a bit. She imagined ChiChi's face when she sees Mimi for the first time after coming out. Mimi would have a tough time explaining. So Bulma decided to go and tell ChiChi what she didn't know. She picked up her keys and carried baby Trunks outside, where they got into her jet and took off towards the mountains.

Back in the Chamber, Trunks lifted his head to the sound of the bathroom door opening. Mimi walked out with a towel around her and another around her head. She stopped when she saw Trunks, gave a quick smile, then walked briskly to her bed where she closed the curtains behind her. Trunks watched her then rested his chin on his hands. Mimi came out two minutes later wearing baby pink boxers with teddy bears on them, and a matching satin singlet. Trunks stared, speechless, as she approached. She opened the fridge and grabbed two cans of Coke. She then sat opposite Trunks, handing him a can. They both avoided looking at each other, thinking that they might blush at the sight of the other wearing hardly anything. They drank silently.

"Ok I think I might get some sleep now," Trunks said uneasily.

"Ya, me too," Mimi replied quickly.

They both stood up and walked quickly to their beds. They stood face to face as they got ready to pull their curtains closed.

"Good night," Mimi said softly.

"Yeah, good night," replied Trunks.

They remained staring at each other for another two seconds before they both closed the curtains and got into bed. Mimi fell asleep easily but Trunks took some time.

A couple of hours later, in the middle of the night, Trunks opened his eyes and saw Mimi standing just inside the curtains.

"Mimi. What's up?" he asked quietly.

Mimi raised a finger to her lips, hushing him. She walked slowly to his bed and sat on the edge before crawling towards Trunks. She stopped with her face centimeters from his. She leaned forward and closed her eyes, kissing him softly on the lips. Trunks hesitated before closing his eyes and returning the kiss. Mimi pulled back slowly. Trunks opened his eyes and noticed that she wasn't there. It wasn't long before he realized it was a dream. He looked up at the clock on the ceiling and noticed that it was a little past nine in the morning.

"Man, I'm even dreaming about her now," he said to himself. "It was so real."

He got out of bed and made his way to the bathroom. He opened the door and to his surprise he noticed Mimi in the bathtub. She screamed as she sat up, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh shit! Sorry Mimi, I didn't see anything!" he lied, as he quickly walked back out, closing the door behind him.

"You sure?" she asked, embarrassed.

"Y…Yeah," he replied, also embarrassed. "Stupid, stupid, stupid," he scolded himself under his breath.

"Now that's a sight I won't forget in a while!"

He paced back and forth outside the bathroom door, thinking what he should say and all of a sudden started smiling to himself.

At that moment Mimi opened the door quickly, standing in a white bathrobe.

"Shit Trunks, do you know how embarrassing that was?! You sure you didn't see anything?" asked Mimi nervously.

"Yes I'm sure. Or maybe…just…a bit," he smiled.

"Aww Trunks!" she yelled as she playfully slapped him in the face before walking past him.

Trunks began to laugh as he entered the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

* * * *

Back outside the Chamber again, Bulma arrived at the Capsule Corp. after her visit to ChiChi's house. She stormed upstairs and down the hall. Bulma had to put up a fight after ChiChi accused her of being in on Mimi's plan. ChiChi gave strict orders to bring Mimi home. Bulma walked into her room where Vegeta lay sound asleep.

"Hey, Vegeta!" she growled. "Get up! For once you can do something meaningful!"

"What are you babbling on about woman?!" he asked angrily as he turned over and hid his face under a pillow.

"I want you to go and bring Trunks and Mimi back!"

"What? What the hell for?" came a muffled cry from under the pillow.

"ChiChi wants her daughter home! And we think that there might be something going on between those two, with being in a room alone together and everything. I doubt they're just training partners," she said crossing her arms.

Vegeta threw a pillow across the room and sat up, giving Bulma an angry look.

"Please Vegeta!" she begged.

He growled at her before he got out of bed and walked past her to the ensuite. Bulma smiled at her success.
