Trunks The Schoolboy
Trunks Meets A Strong Foe
23/11/02

Trunks had now been in his new school for a whole week and things were beginning to settle down. Mamiko's training was going well and she had found a new friend in Bra, Trunks' sister. Trunks was doing well in school thanks to a lot of help from Son Gohan.

"Hey Trunks, I was wondering if Mamiko was coming later today. I want to show her my new dress," Bra called, twirling around in front of Trunks to show off in her dress.
Trunks shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not sure if she's coming today but I'll tell her about your new dress."
Bra smiled and ran off to show her father for the tenth time in one morning. Trunks opened the door and set off for school, he was leaving early because he wanted to stop off at the local store to get some drinks.

It wasn't long before Trunks was in the store, he picked up the drinks that he wanted and headed to the counter. He didn't expect to find RS at the counter though.
"What do you want?"
Trunks didn't know how to reply. RS's father came through the door and smirked at Trunks. Trunks dropped the drinks and ran out of the store, not wanting to get into a fight with RS and his father.

RS didn't give chase and Trunks continued his journey, drink less but still happy. His mood was about to change though, as he neared the gates of the school he found himself falling to the floor thanks to somebody's leg. As he stood back up he was smashed in the back and sent straight back down, that is when he knew that the tripping was no accident.
"Stay down girl, it'll be a lot quicker if you do!"
In the blink of an eye, Trunks had hold of the boy's leg. He ragged him to the ground and then stood up. The boy was tall with short, black hair. His eyes had the look of revenge in them as he stood up and confronted Trunks.
"Nobody disses my gang and gets away with it!"
The boy, known only as Devastator, threw a power packed punch at Trunks. It was the first punch that had hurt Trunks in his new school. However, Trunks fought back and delivered a punch of his own to Devastator. Trunks then realised that Devastator was not from the same school and he put together an escape plan.

Devastator threw another punch but Trunks zanzokened out of the way; he then used the same move to get into the school and far away from Devastator.
"Where the heck did he go?"
Trunks waited for Mamiko to arrive and when she did they both headed off to their first lesson together. Mamiko's long brown hair flowed in the wind as she walked. Trunks had had his hair cut the night before and it was back to its usual short length. Trunks asked Mamiko if she was training that night and told her about Bra's new dress.
"Yes, I'm going to train as hard as I can."
Trunks nodded and both went their separate ways.

The rest of the day went well. Trunks and Mamiko had dinner together as usual and there wasn't any sign of RS at all. After the school day had ended, Trunks and Mamiko headed to Capsule Corp. together, Mamiko still walked timidly. When they reached a safe point both took to the sky as it was much quicker than wlaking.
"Konban wa, Bulma-san," Mamiko called as she walked up the path, Bulma was fixing the garden.
"Konban wa!" Trunks added.
Bulma replied with a smile and then continued her work. Bra came dashing from the house to greet Mamiko and show off her new dress. Bejita was relieved to see Mamiko because he couldn't stand one more twirl from his daughter after the five hundred twirls he had watched throughout the day. He was beginning to regret buying the dress now.

Trunks and Mamiko headed to their chosen training area and began the day's training. Mamiko was now strong enough to learn how to form her energy into weak blasts. Mamiko put everything she had into her training; she wanted to be able to defend herself badly.


Trunks has survived a whole week of school and the weekend has arrived, will it be a relaxing couple of days or another terrible time?
