Funumation and some other people do. I know he's not in the story yet but I
own TJ! Please do not take him.
This chapter is dedicated to my Internet pal Kioko. Go check out her story If You're Not There if you haven't already. It's really good! ~~
Chapter 2: The Plan
Ryoko had fallen asleep while he bathed. She was a little tired from the lack of sleep from the previous night.
Trunks looked at her. She was so beautifully angelic as she slept. He couldn't help but feel jealous of that Tenchi guy for having such a beautiful girl love him like she did.
He knelt down beside her and gently shook her to wake her up.
She opened her eyes slightly taking in the sight of Trunks.
"Thanks for every thing, but I'm going to try and fix my ship now," he said starring into her amber eyes. He quickly looked away knowing if he continued to stare he would end up not wanting to leave.
'Why does he have to leave? He was so kind to me,' Ryoko thought sadly. "I'll come with! I can try to see what's wrong with it," she said not letting him leave without trying to stop him.
"I already know what's wrong with it," he said.
".Can I try to fix it?" she asked again desperately trying to find a way to make him stay just a little bit longer.
Trunks smiled. It was obvious to him that she wanted him to stay. " Okay you can help."
Ryoko smiled back at him. She went to the door to see if anyone was in the hall.
Ayeka was standing outside with Tenchi talking about something. It came clear to Ryoko that they were talking about none other than her.
"That monster woman, she had no right to talk to me that way last night! I want you to talk to her Lord Tenchi," Ayeka said looking up at Tenchi with her big violet eyes.
"Don't worry Ayeka I'll handle everything," Tenchi said. He leaned in and gently kissed Ayeka on the lips.
Ryoko was horrified. She quickly closed the door and fell to her knees.
"Was that him?" Asked Trunks.
Ryoko shook her head. She didn't want to try speaking because she'd just end up crying. And she was trying her best to avoid that.
"I'm sorry," he said not sure of what to say. After all he had never been in love.
Ryoko covered her face to hide the tears streaming from her eyes.
Trunks tried to calm her as best he could without touching her.
"I, I'm sorry I shouldn't be acting like t, this," she managed to choke out. "How are we going to get to my time machine if we're stuck in here?" He asked.
Ryoko wiped her tear-streaked face, " Take my hand"
"Huh?"
"I'll teleport us to the lake and you can take me to your time machine," she said holding her hand out to him.
Trunks took her hand and she teleported them to the lake.
He led her deep into the woods where his time machine was, "Well here it is."
Ryoko sat down on a rock her legs were shaking and anyone could tell there was something wrong.
"S, so what's wrong with it?" she asked.
"A couple parts fell off. The problem is my mom built it so I don't know where they go. And second, the place that tells the date short circuited," he replied.
Ryoko wasn't paying much attention. She kept playing the scene with Tenchi over and over in her head.
"Do you really truly love this Tenchi character?" He asked hitting his head on the top of his machine accidentally.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
" Do you truly love him?" He asked once again.
"Well yes.. I do," she replied.
"Does he have feelings towards you?" He asked.
"That's the problem. I don't know," she replied, "He always thought of me as a monster."
"Why would he think that? You don't look like a monster to me. And trust me I would know," he said pulling out a case of capsules.
The capsule turned into a table with tools on it.
"I don't know why he would," she said.
Trunks picked up a screwdriver, "I don't want to sound too forward, but." he started.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"I think I know a way to find out if that guy has feelings for you," he said.
"You do?" She asked her face brightened a bit.
"Well you need a guy to pretend he's going out with you and if he all of a sudden jumps back to you it's because he's jealous," he said going under the time machine to figure out where a couple parts go.
"But I don't know anyone else," she said disappointed.
"Oh, I guess that'd be a problem." "Yeah. Thanks anyways," she said.
Trunks sighed," It looks like I'm stuck here for awhile," he said wiping sweat from his forehead.
"How come?" she asked walking up to him.
"Well the engine died and I need gas. I also need to replace this," he said holding up a spark plug.
"Is there anything I can do?" she asked bending down.
"Well do you know where the nearest town is?" He asked.
"Not really but there is a city called Tokyo. but its pretty far from here," she replied.
"I'm sure I can find it," he said.
"Well I'm sure Washu could fix it for you and it'd be free, the only problem is you'd have to stay for awhile," she said looking at the ground.
"Do you use Zeni here?" He asked.
"No I don't think so we use Yen," she replied.
"Great!" He said sarcastically. 'I'm stuck in a place where my money has no value,' he thought.
"You're welcome here as long as you need to," she said
'I have the feeling she wants me to stay. I guess I have no choice,' he thought. "Well I'll stay until my time machine gets fixed."
'Yes!' Ryoko thought happily. "You will?" She asked.
"Sure, but I don't want to impose so I'll sleep out here tonight. The ground is nice and leveled here," he said putting the machine back into it's capsule and pulling out another capsule.
"No you don't have to! You're not imposing, really and besides I, I enjoyed the company last night," she admitted hoping he'd stay again.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes," she said.
"Okay, but I'm coming back here first thing in the morning," he said putting the capsule away.
"Um Trunks I was wondering if you would um. pretend that you're going out with me?" she asked trying not to blush.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt.. Sure, why not? But just until its time for me to go," he said.
Ryoko nodded in agreement.
"So how are you going to introduce me?" He asked.
"Well you're an old friend of mine that happened to crash here and you ask me to go out with you," she said making up a fake story.
"I think you could tell everyone you're going somewhere then come back late to make them think something's going on," he suggested. "Hey it works in the movies."
"Okay then what?" she asked.
"When they confront you about it tell them you don't know what they're talking about. If they guess you're going out with someone you can invite your 'boyfriend' to dinner," he said.
"They would never guess that. They don't think I could ever get a boyfriend. And they really wouldn't care if I disappeared all day,' she said.
"Then you'll still have a good time with me," he said not paying attention.
'What is he thinking? Why is he doing all this for me?' she thought. "Okay," she replied.
"Cool." 'I hope she doesn't think I'm going to try anything,' he thought.
