chapters,eh?"
Chapter 34:'I hope so...'Ray
Third Person
Her eyes opened and she looked at a clock next to the bed.
'Seven o'clock...I'm glad the tournament start's at ten,'she thought.
She tried to get up but something held her in place.She heard a mumbled complaint and turned to her husband.He had his arm around her,tight enough to hold her so that she couldn't get up,but loose enough so that she wouldn't get hurt.
'That's the third time this week,'she thought.
"I love you..."her husband muttered in his sleep,"Sarah..."
She smiled and whispered,"I love you too,Ray."
'I guess another hour won't hurt,'she thought and closed her eyes.

"Trunks,wake up!"Ashley exclaimed.
"What about...the pizza...?"Trunks muttered.
Ashley sighed,"I'm sorry I have to do this but..."
She grabbed a pillow and hit her husband as hard as she could with it.
"That tickles...Quit it!"Trunks laughed,still not waking up.
Ashley shook her head and walked into the bathroom.She grabbed a cup and filled it with cold water.Then she walked back and stood over the bed.
"I'm so sorry,"she said and slowly tilted the cup.
The water moved to the top,threatening to fall at any minute.Closer...Closer...Closer...
"Don't even think about it,"the Saiyan said.
Ashley jumped back in surprise.Then she glared at her husband.
"You jerk!You scared me!"she exclaimed.
Trunks blinked,"...That was the point."
"You know what time it is,don't you?"Ashley asked.
The lavender haired Saiyan looked at the clock,then back at his wife,"Seven o'clock,why?"
"We have to watch Sarah in the tournament!"Ashley exclaimed.
"That stupid thing starts at ten.We can sleep another hour and still have two hours to prepare,"Trunks yawned.
Ashley thought for a moment.Another hour of sleep did seem tempting...
"Oh,fine,"she gave in and laid back down.
Trunks smirked,he had always managed to get another hour of sleep when he wanted.
-----
Sarah opened her eyes and looked at the clock.
'Eight o'clock.I'm glad my internal clock is so good,'she thought.
She turned to her husband and giggled at the sight.His hair was in an absolute mess,looking like an animal had crawled on his head and slept there.The arm that wasn't around her was hanging of the side off the bed and the King of Tororins looked like he was about to fall off the side.
"Wake up,Ray,"Sarah whispered into his ear.
He slowly opened one eye,"What time is it?"
"Eight o'clock,"she replied.
"Fine..."he groaned and let go of her.
They both sat up and Sarah went to get ready for the tournament while Ray tried his best to wake completely up.
"I hope you aren't putting on make-up,"he stated.
"Why?"Sarah asked.
"You look better without it,"he replied simply.
"You always say that."
"And I always mean it.You don't need that stuff to make you look beautiful,you already are."
"Some people don't think so."
"So what?Those people that don't think so are obviously stupid."
He stood up off the bed and stretched,"And besides..Why are trying to impress other people?"
"I just...I don't know!"
"You should be more like me.I don't care what other people think about me."
"That's because you're a guy."
"That doesn't change a thing.What other people think doesn't matter!What matters is what you think,and sometimes what the people close to you think."
"All right,all right.I won't wear make-up."
The Tororin smirked,another argument he had won.It wasn't really an argument,but he won regardless.
"The tournament starts at ten,right?"he asked.
"Yeah,"came the reply.
"Good.I've got a few things I have to discuss with Trunks."
"Like what?"
"...That presence we felt yesterday.Something tells me it's going to be at the tournament.I want to make sure he's prepared."
Sarah walked back into the room,"I'm sure you two will be ready for anything."
He shrugged,"I hope so..."
