~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jocelyn looked at Mirai, "Which theatre though? Nashaminy?
"Fine with me," Mirai retorted. Jocelyn smirked and transported them to the Nashaminy Theatre lobby.
"That's real convenient." Mirai said with a laugh.
"Yea it is!" Jocelyn smiled as she got in line to get their tickets.
"I'm gonna go get some snacks. What do you want?" He asked.
"Ummm. sweet tarts and a coke I guess," she said with a wink.
"Ok" Mirai headed for the snack bar. Soon after Jocelyn got to the front of the ticket line and purchased two tickets for 8 Crazy Nights. She walked over to Mirai who was still at the snack bar and waiting as patiently as he could to get to the food. "Hey." He said as he got to the front of the line and made the order, Jocelyn standing by him silently. He handed Jocelyn her snacks and took his, "There ya go."
"Thanks!" Jocelyn walked with him to the ticket guy and walked with Mirai to theatre three.
"Pick seats twerp!" Mirai smirked. Jocelyn rolled her eyes and started walking up to the very back row of seats in the theatre. She sat down in the middle of the very back row.
"Are you sure there is nothing else you could call me?" She smiled, "Twerp makes me sound like I am two."
"Well. I could call you. akago." He said as he sat next to her. "You act like a baby sometimes, so it fits." He smirked at her.
Jocelyn playfully hit his arm and growled softly, "Takes one to know one." Mirai crossed his arms and smiled as Jocelyn laughed.
As the previews started playing, Jocelyn sat back and sipped her soda. Mirai glanced at Jocelyn and then turned his attention back to the screen as the movie started. Jocelyn raised an eyebrow and glanced at him quickly. She shrugged it off and went back to watching the movie.
***
As the movie played, Mirai eventually got tired and absently put his arm around Jocelyn. When the credits played Jocelyn smiled and looked at Mirai. "You like the movie?"
"It was alright," he smiled at her.
"These seats are too comfy." She rolled her eyes.
"Hai." Mirai rubbed his neck.
"Ugh. question is do I really want to get up," She said as she stood. Mirai watched her and stood up himself. Jocelyn, stretching a little, asked, "You want to go home? Or do you want to do something else?"
"Depends, you tired or not?" Mirai looked at her.
"I just ate a box of sweet tarts; I won't be tired for a while." Jocelyn smiled, Mirai laughed at her comment. Jocelyn smiled again, "We could go to like, six flags or something?" Mirai smirked and nodded.
"Whenever you smirk you are planning something."
"Could be, but I don't think so."
Jocelyn rolled her eyes, "come on!" She grabbed his hand and led him out of the theatre. Mirai yawned a little but shook it off. Jocelyn glanced at him suspiciously, "If you are tired we can go home."
"Oh no, just from all that sitting ya know, come on lets go!" Mirai smiled at her.
Jocelyn smiled and nodded, "I'm gonna cheat a little though." She transports them into the park, passing the ticket booths. Mirai laughed.
"Which ride first?" He asked.
"Hmmm you pick."
Mirai thought and nodded. He grabbed her hand and led her to the bumper cars, getting them in line.
"Man. It has been a while since I have actually had fun." Jocelyn looked around.
"Oh you poor thing!" Mirai hugged her, "Well today is gonna be all fun!"
Jocelyn smiled, "Thanks Mirai!" She hugged him and then leaned on him. "So what is your favorite ride?"
"Batman and Robin."
"I haven't gone that ever."
"Really? We'll change that today.
Jocelyn nodded, "Alright then!"
When they got in the front of the line the man running it insisted upon having two people in each car, so Jocelyn made Mirai drive. As the ride started Mirai sped after a blue car and Jocelyn leaned on him until the ride was finally over. Mirai walked with Jocelyn out of the ride.
"Where to?" She asked.
Mirai smirked knowingly, "Batman and Robin."
The smile on Jocelyn's face faded a little as she queasily said "Ok."
Mirai just smiled, "You'll be fine, I swear."
"If you say so, I trust you."
"Ok," He took her hand and walked to the ride with her. Jocelyn just blushed a little and walked with him.
Mirai stood with her in line, "So how's Van?"
Jocelyn looked at him, surprised by the suddenness of the question, "He is well, mom is watching him right now."
"That's cool," Mirai nodded.
Jocelyn smiled, "I think he is just better off with his father."
Mirai almost looked up, "You really think so?"
"Considering everything. yes."
"I guess its right taking that into the picture.
Jocelyn nodded, "I hope it is. I don't want Van to miss out on anything, but, I don't want him to grow up and be like Kamasu.
Mirai laughed, "Not really huh?" Jocelyn smiled weakly. Mirai stood behind her and hugged her, "Don't worry about that just now. have fun."
Jocelyn smiled and leaned back on him, "Thanks."
"I'm sorry I brought it up, didn't mean to."
"It's ok, really." Jocelyn said as they got to the front of the line. "Where do you want to sit?" He asked her, figuring it was only fair to let her chose.
"Anywhere, your choice."
He looked at her, "Middle then." Jocelyn nodded and walked to the middle row with him, sat down and buckled her harness. Calmly, he sat down and buckled up. Jocelyn bit her lip and looked at him, "How fast does this thing go?"
"Not as fast as I can fly, I don't know about you though."
"Yea yea, puck on the weak one."
"If you insist twerp." He said just as the ride started, and of course, it went from zero to sixty in three seconds. Jocelyn grabbed at his hand.
*"Scared twerp?"* He smirked at her, not fazed by the speed at all.
*"Maybe, maybe not."*
*"uh huh."*
*"Nut uh."*
The ride got to the top and stayed there for a few seconds, only to go backwards. Jocelyn laughed, "Oh my god."
Mirai chuckled at her comment, "Yea sure." She looked at him and blushed a little, quickly looking away. He just raised an eyebrow and shrugged it off.
*"Oye. should I say something. or not."* She thought to herself, Mirai put up a mental wall so he couldn't hear her thoughts.
*"Shit! Dammit! I didn't say anything!"* She muttered a "thanks" to him and he nodded. All of the sudden the ride stopped in mid-loop.
"Oh. my.god not this!" She moaned.
"Dammit," Mirai said monotonously.
She looked at him, "Now I know this is not part of the ride."
"I should just break the damn buckle and fly down." He sighed.
"Ummm. how about not doing that."
He looked at her as though she were nuts, "Why not?!"
"Because you are sooo not leaving me up here!"
"Too weak to do it too? Need help?"
She growled, "Mean!"
Mirai broke his latch easily and levitated upside down in front of her, "Need a hand?"
Narrowing her eyes, "Yes please." She said as she thought, "Mean mean mean mean!"* As he broke her latch. She fell for a second but caught herself and levitated. "Thank you."
Everyone on the ride looked at them floating in the air, all in complete awe. Jocelyn sweat dropped and landed, Mirai right behind her.
"Umm where to now?" He asked.
Jocelyn looked around and saw the Houdini ride, "How about that?" Mirai nodded and they got in line.
Mirai sighed and Jocelyn looked at him, "What's on your mind?"
He shrugged, "Dunno?"
She smiled and hugged him, "You look perplexed."
Mirai smiled, "Nah, thinking about Trunks' kids. the girls are sweet, but Tai," he scoffed, "just like father."
Jocelyn looked away, "No. he is worse than Uncle Vegeta."
Mirai laughed, not knowing her history with Tai, "Whatever."
"Well he is! The stupid little brat! I come back for him and-" She stopped herself, "I don't want to get into it. sorry. didn't mean to blow up."
"Ok. Maybe a little."
She looked at him, "But it's all good now, I know who my friends are." He looked at her and she blushed a little and smiled. Kind of at a loss for words, he smiled back at her. She hugged him and leaned her head on his shoulder. Unfortunately, her timing was a little bad, for they had reached the front of the line and had to get on. Ten minutes later the ride ended and they got off.
"Well tat was fun," He walked off the ride when it was over. Jocelyn followed him and laughed at his sarcasm. Mirai just slowed down to walk next to her. Jocelyn linked arms with him, "So as I was going to ask.." Mirai raised an eyebrow and gestured for her to speak. "What is with the whole sword thing? I am completely confused about it."
Mirai laughed, "Well, Trunks and I both have the same past until the androids showed up, I guess we were about one then. I forget when I got this sword; I think my mother made it, after the Z fighters were all destroyed. Fortunately none of that happened here so Trunks had no need for a sword."
Jocelyn nodded, "I see, so. what is it like where you come from?"
"It was hell till I destroyed the androids and cell, not it's being rebuilt."
"Are you the last saiyan there.?" She asked reluctantly. She didn't want to ask too many questions, but she couldn't help being curious.
"Hai, I am."
"Sorry, if I am asking too many questions just tell me." She apologized to him nervously.
"No, it's fine, really."
Jocelyn smiled, "If you're sure." Mirai smiled and nodded to her. After a few moments she stopped dead in her tracks.
Mirai stopped, "Something wrong?"
"I umm."
"Umm what?"
Jocelyn looked at the ground, "I like you."
Mirai smiled and winked, "and I like you."
"No, I mean as more than a friend."
"Oh, well that could work too babe," He kissed her forehead. Jocelyn blink and he laughed at her.
"Whoa. that reaction was unexpected."
"Really? Would you rather I have said nothing?"
"N.No. I just. wasn't expecting that," Jocelyn smiled profusely. Mirai nodded and then out of happiness Jocelyn hugged him, "I'm just. wow." Mirai just smiled and hugged her back as she smiled happily, "Do you realize I have been beating around the bush all day?"
"Yea I do."
Jocelyn smirked, "And that is why you put up the mental block?"
"Hai."
"You're such a smartass!"
"Yea well." before Mirai could finish Jocelyn transported them home, landing in the back yard. Mirai looked around, "Ok. home."
Jocelyn ignored the change in surroundings that she permitted, "So, why did you let me beat around the bush?"
Mirai shrugged, "To see what you would do."
Jocelyn kissed him, "oh, you wanted to see me wonder all day about if the feeling was mutual?"
Mirai smirked, "Yup," and kissed her again.
Jocelyn smiled, "Come on, I want to see if my mom lived through a couple hours taking care of my brat." She took Mirai's hand and led him into the house. They walked into the living room, "Mom?"
Chichi looked up, "Oye. take him!" She handed him Van, Mirai smiled.
Jocelyn blinked at her abruptness, "Ok." she cradled Van, "What's the matter with you mom?"
"Long day."
Jocelyn smiled and looked at Van, "Come on you, your going to bed!" She went up to the spare room and laid him in his crib, kissed his forehead and went downstairs. When she got downstairs she turned the monitor on and went into the kitchen, "You want something to drink Mirai?"
"Water." Mirai requested shortly.
Jocelyn nodded and got him his glass of water and herself a glass of iced tea. She walked into the living room and handed him his drink as she sat next to him on the couch.
"Danke twerp," Mirai said just before he drank his water.
Jocelyn rolled her eyes, "You're lucky I like you," she sipped her iced tea and sat back.
"Yea I know," Mirai gulped down the rest of his water.
Chichi, sitting in the recliner, had a confused look upon her face, "Am I missing something?"
Jocelyn looked at Chichi with a smirk as Mirai leaded back, "Maybe. maybe not." Chichi rolled her eyes with a 'good grief' kind of look on her face.
Jocelyn sat her drink on the table and sat back again, leaning on Mirai. Smiling, Mirai rested his chin on her head.
"You're right, today is a happy day," Jocelyn smirked. Chichi shook her head and walked out of the room and back to her 'perch' in the kitchen.
"I am always right twerp," He said softly.
"Ummm I beg to differ."
Mirai blinked at this.
"I bet you though it would take me longer to confront you," She looked up at him smiling.
Mirai smiled, "Maybe, maybe not," and kissed her.
Jocelyn kissed back contently, *"Are you trying to keep me from proving you wrong?" She thought to him.
*"Now why would I do that babe?"*
*"Because. you are you. I don't know!"* She quickly thought back to him just as Van started crying in the middle of their kiss. *"Oh.my. Kami! That brat has terrible timing!"*
Mirai looked to the stairs as Jocelyn got up and started walking towards them with an "Ugh." Mirai laughed and lay down on the couch, shaking his head.
*"Oh shush!"* She reprimanded him as she entered the spare room and went to the crib. "All this over a binky?" She gently put the binky back in Van's mouth and walked out of the room, not really paying attention to where she was going, and bumped right into Vegeta as he walked out of his room, "Oye! Sorry Uncle Vegeta!"
Vegeta nodded and Jocelyn smiled and went downstairs, him right behind right.
Jocelyn looked at Mirai laying there on the couch, "Oh I see how it is, take the entire couch!" she smirked.
Mirai nodded and Jocelyn rolled her eyes, saying, "Men." under her breath. Mirai gave up and sat up Indian style, and of course, Jocelyn sat next to him again as he put his hands behind his head and sat back.
Jocelyn leaned on him, "The brat wanted his binky back," she smirked.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow as he watched them but stayed silent and sat down. Jocelyn laughed softly, "Did you see the looks we got on Batman and Robin?"
"If they asked they could have got down too, but no, they had to stare instead," Mirai said flatly.
"Oh please, if you were in their position you would have stared too."
"If I were in their position I could have gotten out," Mirai smirked.
She rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek, "Yea yea smartass." Vegeta rolled his eyes but still stayed silent.
Mirai smiled, "Me smartass, you twerp," He kissed her.
Very happy and content now, Jocelyn kissed back, *"Yea yea. There, you have been named smartass, there is no getting out. well. unless you stop calling me twerp, but I don't think you will."*
*"Deal,"* he thought shortly as Jocelyn broke the kiss and rested her head on his shoulder. Mirai sighed lightly.
"Tired?" Jocelyn asked.
"Might be."
She hugged him, "Is that a yes or a no?"
"hn. no. now I am going to train with Trunks."
"Have fun."
"I will," Mirai said as he headed for the GR.
Jocelyn smiled and then finally realized that Vegeta had been watching the entire time, she looked at him, "He Uncle Vegeta." she smiled weakly.
He stared blankly at Jocelyn, "Care to explain?"
"Umm. we had to go to Fanelia. didn't feel like going home so we went to get something to eat. then to see a movie. then six flags. and umm.. Here we are." Jocelyn decided a short summary was needed, since Vegeta was well known for getting frustrated.
"Uh huh, well then, at least I know now." He walked to the kitchen, which miraculously Chichi left.
Jocelyn blinked, "What do you mean at least you know now?" She followed him into the kitchen and sat on the stool.
Vegeta just stopped making his sub, looked at her with a deadpan look and went back to making the sub. "You're a thing now aren't you guys?"
"Well. yea."
"That's all."
"Ok. I thought you meant that we had been a 'thing' for a while."
"Not really."
Jocelyn nodded and got up. She ventured upstairs looking for Kuro, her pet panther. She checked the spare room, she wasn't there. Then she check Midi's room and yet again she wasn't there. Reluctantly, she knocked on Tai's door.
"What?" Tai ordered from inside the room.
Jocelyn opened the door and stepped in, "Kuro in here otokonoko?" Tai just pointed to her playing with Shishi, his pet tiger. "Thanks." She picked up Kuro and pet Shishi as she stood back up. Shishi licked her hand, "Sorry Shishi, I have to feed her. I will bring her backup when she is done." Shishi roared and Jocelyn looked at Tai, "See ya around," and walked out.
She carried Kuro downstairs and when she got to the kitchen she put her down. Jocelyn readied Kuro's food and set it down for her, a second later Kuro was happily munching on her dinner.
*"Anybody else hungry?"* Jocelyn asked. Everyone (being pretty much only Mirai and Trunks) replied "no."
She sighed and picked up Kuro when she was done eating and went upstairs to the spare room where she intended to take a nap. She put Kuro down on the bed and went to the crib to check on Van. *"Mirai. did you take Van out of his crib?"* She asked, furrowing her brows in confusion and worry.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Ya-ta!! Finalamente!!! I have finished chapter three! Oh don't worry my friends, there is chaos ahead. much chaos and ex-husbands. ^_^ Please review and I hope you enjoy the next chapter!

Jocelyn looked at Mirai, "Which theatre though? Nashaminy?
"Fine with me," Mirai retorted. Jocelyn smirked and transported them to the Nashaminy Theatre lobby.
"That's real convenient." Mirai said with a laugh.
"Yea it is!" Jocelyn smiled as she got in line to get their tickets.
"I'm gonna go get some snacks. What do you want?" He asked.

Jocelyn leaned on him, "The brat wanted his binky back," she smirked.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow as he watched them but stayed silent and sat down. Jocelyn laughed softly, "Did you see the looks we got on Batman and Robin?"
"If they asked they could have got down too, but no, they had to stare instead," Mirai said flatly.
"Oh please, if you were in their position you would have stared too."
"If I were in their position I could have gotten out," Mirai smirked.
She rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek, "Yea yea smartass." Vegeta rolled his eyes but still stayed silent.
Mirai smiled, "Me smartass, you twerp," He kissed her.
Very happy and content now, Jocelyn kissed back, *"Yea yea. There, you have been named smartass, there is no getting out. well. unless you stop calling me twerp, but I don't think you will."*
*"Deal,"* he thought shortly as Jocelyn broke the kiss and rested her head on his shoulder. Mirai sighed lightly.
"Tired?" Jocelyn asked.
"Might be."
She hugged him, "Is that a yes or a no?"
"hn. no. now I am going to train with Trunks."
"Have fun."
"I will," Mirai said as he headed for the GR.
Jocelyn smiled and then finally realized that Vegeta had been watching the entire time, she looked at him, "He Uncle Vegeta." she smiled weakly.
He stared blankly at Jocelyn, "Care to explain?"
"Umm. we had to go to Fanelia. didn't feel like going home so we went to get something to eat. then to see a movie. then six flags. and umm.. Here we are." Jocelyn decided a short summary was needed, since Vegeta was well known for getting frustrated.
"Uh huh, well then, at least I know now." He walked to the kitchen, which miraculously Chichi left.
Jocelyn blinked, "What do you mean at least you know now?" She followed him into the kitchen and sat on the stool.
Vegeta just stopped making his sub, looked at her with a deadpan look and went back to making the sub. "You're a thing now aren't you guys?"
"Well. yea."
"That's all."
"Ok. I thought you meant that we had been a 'thing' for a while."
"Not really."
Jocelyn nodded and got up. She ventured upstairs looking for Kuro, her pet panther. She checked the spare room, she wasn't there. Then she check Midi's room and yet again she wasn't there. Reluctantly, she knocked on Tai's door.
"What?" Tai ordered from inside the room.
Jocelyn opened the door and stepped in, "Kuro in here otokonoko?" Tai just pointed to her playing with Shishi, his pet tiger. "Thanks." She picked up Kuro and pet Shishi as she stood back up. Shishi licked her hand, "Sorry Shishi, I have to feed her. I will bring her backup when she is done." Shishi roared and Jocelyn looked at Tai, "See ya around," and walked out.
She carried Kuro downstairs and when she got to the kitchen she put her down. Jocelyn readied Kuro's food and set it down for her, a second later Kuro was happily munching on her dinner.
*"Anybody else hungry?"* Jocelyn asked. Everyone (being pretty much only Mirai and Trunks) replied "no."
She sighed and picked up Kuro when she was done eating and went upstairs to the spare room where she intended to take a nap. She put Kuro down on the bed and went to the crib to check on Van. *"Mirai. did you take Van out of his crib?"* She asked, furrowing her brows in confusion and worry.
