*Last Time*
Bulma craned her head when she heard laughter coming from upstairs. A large grin spread across her face as she continued to clean up what was left of dinner. "Guess they made up.." she thought aloud to herself.
Bulma didn't notice as Vegeta's eyes suddenly shot open and narrowed in her direction. He had heard the noise coming from upstairs and the comment that she had made. His muscles tensed in aggitation, but he didn't show any other indication of his mood.
....Just outside of Lareesa's room, a fly landed on the wall. Its winged suddenly became still as its eyes scanned the area. A low humming sound droned against the joy of the two teens....
Faltered Destiny
Chapter 22
The Party: Surprises
The rest of the day passed and was pretty uneventful. The sun set and the moon took its position in the sky, announcing that it was night's turn to reign supreme. Soon enough though, the sun peaked over the mountains and rose into the sky. It was now the moon's turn to rest.
The rays from the sun were what finally roused the teenage girl from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes tiredly and stepped out of bed. Looking toward the clock on a nearby night-table she noted the time was 10:30am. She walked over to the blinds which were drawn ever so slightly. It was on here that she found a sticky note.
'Its about time you got up.' the note read. Just by the first sentence Lareesa could tell who had written the note, Bulma. 'The party starts at 11am, don't be late. I've taken the liberty of laying out some clothes for you to wear. Be in the backyard twenty minutes early to help me set up.' ~Bulma
"Twenty minutes early..." she mumbled, "that means be there by 10:40 and its..." Lareesa turned her head to the clock and gasped. "10:34!!"
At a blinding speed, Lareesa quickly got dressed, put her hair into pigtails and ran out the door. She made her way down the steps at such a fast speed that she almost tripped...twice.
"Bulma's gonna kill me..." she mumbled over and over as she ran into the backyard. Before her were Bulma and Trunks. Bulma was directing him where to make some last minute touches. She looked in her direction a moment later.
"Oh Lareesa," she started, smiling, "You look so cute. I'm glad you're up on time too."
"Uh, yeah..thanks I guess." she mumbled, blushing.
"That's it, its finished." Trunks lowered himself to the ground and landedly gently. He looked at Lareesa and forced back a smile. Well didn't she look...interesting.
"What?" Lareesa questioned when she noticed that Trunks was staring at her and smirking. She looked to where his eyes were directed and squeaked.
Her body was clad in a shirt that had a pink fuzzy unicorn on it. Written in knitted letters was the phrase, 'do you believe in magic?'. She lowered her gaze further and noticed that her bottoms weren't much better. They were farm pants splattered with old caked mud that just wouldn't come off. There were multi-colored patches sewn over the holes that were randomly located all over the pants.
"See, I knew you were going to get up late, or moreso, surmised it." the ingenious woman smirked, "I decided to test theory of just how tired some people could actually be in the morning."
Trunks chuckled as Lareesa seethed with anger. She was near to smoke coming out of her ears. Her eyes trailed to the ground for something she could use to retaliate against him with. She knew better than to mess around with Bulma, but Trunks was a totally different matter.
She found a hose to be laying at her feet and in one swift movement she picked it up and pressed the vaulve while aiming at the lavender haired boy. Surprised, the demi-saiyan became drenched from head to toe.
"Make fun of me again, and you'll get something much worse." Lareesa commented while throwing the hose to the ground.
The drenched teen watched the girl as a smirk found its way to his lips. "What if I burned all of the clothes that are hidden in your room, leaving you with only what you're currently wearing."
Her eyes widened and suddenly her throat became parched. "You wouldn't dare..."
"Oh wouldn't I?" he questioned affirmitively, his smirk widening.
Devoid of all color she stared at him blankly for a moment and then proceeded to sprint back into the house. Trunks laughed heartily as his mother shot him a menacing glare.
"You wouldn't dare smite anything in my household young man." her arms were crossed across her chest as she sent her future son a knowing look.
"Of course not, it was just an empty threat." Just then a flower pot came crashing down at hit his head. He rubbed the sore spot and looked up to see Lareesa smirking triumphantly.
"Scortch that!"
Bulma began to giggle which soon turned into riotous laughter. The two teens looked at her, confused.
"I swear you two fight like husband and wife." she said between breaths.
The two looked at eachother, frightened for a mere moment before they too broke out in laughter.
"Me?! Her!?!" Trunks shouted, amused.
"Okay, he may be good for something, but not a husband!" Lareesa chortled.
As the fun continued outside, the evergreen-eyed teen went back into her room and proceeded to change her clothing. She changed into something much more comfortable, which consisted of a navy tank top and jean shorts. Hearing the hustle and bustle of scattering forms she looked outside to see that some of the guests had already arrived. Hearing a doorbell, she quickly gave herself a once over in the mirror before heading downstairs. It seemed that everyone was outside so she just answered the door herself. She was extremely surprised to find herself staring into twin blue eyes and she nearly squealed.
"Jack? what the heck are you doing here?!" Her voice was loud and enthusiastic as her eyes beamed.
"Lareesa? Well, I never thought to see you here... Are you related to the Briefs?"
She shook her head. "No, I'm just a house-guest." she paused and ran her fingers over her pigtails nonchalantly. "So, what brings you here?"
He leaned against the door frame, his form relaxed as he crossed his hands over his chest. "Me? I'm dropping off one of the new bikes you saw earlier. That.." he paused for a moment, "and I'm here for the party."
Lareesa's mouth gaped open in surprise and at that exact moment she felt something hot sting at her back. She turned around to see Chibi Trunks laughing, his pointer finger extended.
"Got you!" he yelled before taking off.
"Why that little--"
Surprisingly, Jack stood fully and walked over to her. Placing his hands on her back he examined her 'wound'.
"Its not bad, just a bit red... You're lucky that Chibi Trunks can control his power so easily otherwise you'd be toast."
She paused, her eyes widening and made an attempt to formulate some words. "Wait, you mean...you know?"
Jack moved his hands from her back, to her shoulders as he chuckled. "You mean that over half of this family is part alien? Then yeah, I'm one of Bulma's top employers so I had to know."
"Hm, well that saves me the time of trying to cover stuff up," she paused momentarily," but do you know about the Trunks twins?"
He laughed again and removed his hands from her back. Lareesa frowned slightly, but felt better once Jack had walked in front of her so that he was facing her. "Come on, you mean Mirai and Chibi?"
"Wow, you really do know everything..."
"Ain't it the truth." a gentle smirk appeared on his features.
Lareesa couldn't help but laugh a bit, she stopped however when she heard her name name being called outside. Dragging Jack along with her, she exited the house.
The party had been going on for about an hour or so, and the food had come and gone. Since there were so many saiyans it had to keep being restocked every half hour. Lareesa inwardly frowned as her gaze trailed to the stack of presents that resided on the table.
"Hey Trunks do you think that I could help you open your presents later, huh huh huh?" Goten was jumping up and down in front of his best friend in the world, chibi Trunks.
"Well, I don't know Goten, you'll probably only get jealous..." He huffed as his fingers stretched greedily over his gifts.
"Naw, I promise I won't..." he pouted and put on his best puppy dog face.
"Fine...you can open this one." chibi Trunks handed a small package to Goten, "I think its a football or something lame like that."
"Okay!!" Goten squeaked as he proceeded to rip the paper off the package vigrorously.
Lareesa sighed as she watched the display. Sure, chibi Trunks probably wouldn't notice if she didn't get him a present, but that wasn't right, the same thing went for Trunks. She was stirred from her thoughts when she felt a tugging on her shorts.
"Hey, did you get me a present?" chibi Trunks asked, his eyes dark.
Lareesa paused, oh yeah he noticed. She took in a breath of air to get her brain working, that's when she got an idea.
"No tengo un presente, pero..." she paused, trying to think of the next words to say. "le conseguiré uno pronto." she smiled nervously hoping that her plan had worked.
"Huh?" Trunks' eyes widened. He may have been the son of a genius, but his brain wasn't fully developed and he didn't know spanish.
"Exactly." Lareesa commented as she walked away nonchalantly. She had the feeling she was forgetting something and began to think.
'What is it thats clawing at the back of mind?' she chewed her lower lip absentmindedly as she continued to walk. As she did so, she overheard some voices.
"Yeah, I love my new job. It pays great and I don't mind it much..."
"Oiy!" she screamed as she began to run toward the house. 'The interview is today, oh crap...'
And as she disappeared into the house a figure with icy blue eyes watched her fleeting form. Long black tresses floated about the shadow, despite the fact that there wasn't any wind.
"You know..." they spoke, their voice monotoned. "I don't see why you want her...she's nothing but a little bitch." the figure ran her finger over her earing, from where a sound resounded.
"Oh, I have my reasons... you just follow the plan." a man spoke in a deep and burly tone.
"Your antics bore me old man." the voice that replied was feminine. Running her fingers along the edge of her ear, she tucked some stray hair behind it. "I have the mind to just destroy her right now." an eerie glow emanated from her palm as she raised her apendage eyelevel.
"Thirteen, you do anything of the sort and I'll cut your circuits." he paused for a moment, "Now get back here and give me that data you've collected."
Thirteen growled as she aimed the blast in her hand at Lareesa's room.
"That mean's now." the man's tone threatened.
In one quick and smooth movement the girl absorbed the blast back into her hand and sighed in defeat. She was disgusted by the man's actions, but knew he would truly dispose of her if she didn't do what he said. The only reason he was keeping her around was because she was 'useful'.
"Yes Dr. Gero." her voice was void of any emotion as she turned her head and looked back one more time at the Capsule Corp mansion. When she was sure the transmission had ended, she spoke. "Another day for you to live..." her eyes narrowed, "better spend it well while you still can."
And in a blurr, the female figure was gone.

Oooh, did i just reveal something? *giggles* Yes! I did! I figured that this has been dragged on long enough...though there still is some mystery left, I didn't tell you everything... *looks all innocent* Oh, and in case u wanted to know...the spanish thing is roughly translated into 'I don't have a present, but i'll get one soon.' i was too lazy to get the spanish dictionary so i did it on a trans site..meaning it won't b right. *shrugs* ah well, one more chapter down...who knows how many to go..and look, its only been a month and nine days!! Anyway, I should go, I've got a concert soon, gotta bring out the ol' viola. Ja!
