DETERMINATION OF A GIRL
PT. 9
In the last part, the Z fighters tried to stall Neo by talking with him until Vegeta got back with Trunks and Mimi. In the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Trunks and Mimi cut each other's hair. Mimi just remembered that Bulma gave them a couple of Saiyan Combat suits and decided to put them to use. At the end, the two Saiyan's emerged and shocked Vegeta, after he found out that Mimi had become an Ascended Super-Saiyan.

Trunks and Mimi flew on either side of Vegeta at full speed.
"So why did you two decide to come out so early?" Vegeta asked.
"Well we mastered everything we could. There was no use for us to stay any longer," replied Trunks.
"Good thing you came when you did Vegeta. We just finished," added Mimi.
Vegeta gave Mimi a sideway glance then turned to Trunks.
"What's the deal?" he quietly asked Trunks.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Trunks asked.
"The girl!" Vegeta whispered loudly.
"Oh father I know what you're thinking."
Vegeta remained staring at Trunks waiting for a reply. Trunks turned to face his father.
"Dad, no, there's nothing going on between us."
"Don't lie to me boy. I've seen the way you look at her," Vegeta said trying to keep his voice down.
Trunks clicked his tongue in frustration and looked ahead.
"I'm waiting," Vegeta said impatiently.
Trunks mumbled something under his breath.
"WHAT?! Speak up!" Vegeta said.
"ALRIGHT! Maybe I have something for her, ok?" Trunks yelled.
Mimi quickly turned her face to Trunks, in shock.
"I mean…yeah, I have something for her…a present," Trunks said with a cheesy laugh to cover up his feelings.
He gave Vegeta a dirty look then turned away.
"You better knock it off then. She's Kakorott's blood!" said Vegeta.
"I can't help it! It's not like I can control my feelings, dad!" said Trunks
"This is not the time!! We'll discuss this later!!" Vegeta growled.
"FINE!"
By now Mimi was very suspicious. From the bits and pieces of the conversation she over-heard, she had a pretty good idea of what they were whispering about.
All this time. The whole time we spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, I never realized. How could I have missed something that was so obvious! It was right in my face but I was too blind to see it. Trunks loves me! But he's my best friend! And yeah, he's cute and all and…
Mimi looked at Trunks, who was angrily staring straight ahead.
…and I think…I love him too.

"I am starting to lose my patients," Neo said coolly.
Vegeta. Where are you? Gohan thought. Piccolo arrived a while ago so what's taking you so long?
"You can't talk your way out of this one boys. I am going to blow up this planet and there in nothing you can do about it, unless I fight a worthy opponent. But if you…" Neo trailed off.
He stared straight ahead into the distance. All the Z fighters quickly turned around to see what caught Neo's eye.
"It's the other Saiyans!" Chioutzu said gleefully.
"Yeah," said Tien.
"Oh my God!" Yamcha cut in. "Is Mimi wearing Saiyan armour?"
"Yeah she is. You know what that means," Krillen cried. "ALRIGHT!"
"Her power, it's huge!" Piccolo said with surprise.
Vegeta landed first, followed by Trunks and then Mimi. The Z fighters were speechless.
"Mimi…you've changed," Yamcha said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, you look like you're in great shape," said Tien.
"Thanks," she replied, giving an arrogant smile as she placed a hand on her hip.
They were so taken aback by Mimi that they all didn't notice that Trunks had returned from his time.
"Ah look who it is," cried Neo. "Vegeta is back. With two other friends. Trunks and Mimi I presume?"
"Yeah that's right!" Mimi yelled, preventing Trunks from saying anything.
"Ah so Mimi. You are the daughter of the legendary Goku."
Vegeta snorted at the remark.
"An attractive little thing isn't she. It's no wonder that Trunks has a crush on you," Neo complimented.
"Huh?" was everyone's reply as they turned to look at Trunks.
"What?" Trunks asked, his cheeks flaring up.
"And that outfit makes her look even better. It shows off her nicely shaped curves, isn't that right… Yamcha?!"
"Ugh…" Yamcha searched for an explanation as everyone looked at him with a 'shame-on-you' face.
"Yes that's right. I can hear every word that you think," Neo informed.
They all gasped at the information.
"You see. It's going to be impossible for you to beat me. I can hear you plans and see your every move. And no Tien, that combo won't work on me."
Tien gasped.
"So. Who will it be first. Who wants to meet their demise at my hands?" Neo asked.
"Me!" Mimi yelled confidently.
They all gasped again.
"Mimi what are you doing?" Krillen asked.
"No, you can't," Chioutzu cried.
"Can't, is no longer in my vocabulary. This is my chance to prove myself to you all. I didn't train a half year for nothing!" said Mimi.
Trunks walked over to Mimi.
"You know you don't have to do this," Trunks said softly.
Mimi picked up his left hand with hers but avoided looking him in the eyes.
"But I do," she said.
She left the Z gang and walked towards Neo. Trunks and the rest looked on after her with Vegeta looking at Trunks in disgust. Why her?! Out of all the girls in the world, he had to be attracted to Kakorott's daughter.
Mimi and Neo stared at each other.
"Ready?" Neo asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be!" Mimi replied.
