Disclaimer: I do not own anything but this story

We had all awoken around the same time, due to an annoying bird that wouldn't shut up. I tried to drown out the sound, by stuffing my head under a pillow, but that hadn't helped. "Shut the fuck up.." I mumbled and I heard Bra giggle. "Interesting choice of first words in the morning, huh?" She spoke, I could see that Uubu was getting just as annoyed and I saw him left a glowing had to the direction of the bird. Pan rolled over on him in her sleep and landed off the bed. "That girl could sleep through almost anything." Trunks said behind me, propping himself up with one hand, and using the other to snake around my waist and hold my hand. I blushed a little, but leaned into him afterwards. Goten got up, and swooped up Bra, and they left the room. We were all confused, but decided to let it go, for now. Pan and Uubu had finally gotten up, and were back onto the bed. The bird had stopped, and we were quiet.
Just as the four of us were going to get up and go to the kitchen to get some food, Goten and Bra busted through the door. Their arms full of Pop Tarts, bagels, and almost all of the breakfast food you could imagine! Of course, being the Pop Tart addict that I was I snatched a few before everyone else. My body felt a little cramped, and so I decided to stretch a little. But there wasn't enough room. I looked up and got an idea. I floated up and stretched. That way, I didn't her in anybody's way. When I landed back on the bed, almost everyone was staring at me. I quirked up an eyebrow. "What? Don't you remember.." I trailed of as they all re composed themselves. I laughed a little and looked over to the poster on the back of the door. I knew Trunks was following my gaze, and I felt him smile. "Hey Mar, you wanna spar?" Geten asked through as mouthful of food. He swallowed, "I want to see how good you are." He said, I grabbed another Pop Tart and munched on it a bit. "Sure, after I finish this one." I said indicating the Pop Tart, "Oh, and you can't go super on me, it wouldn't be fair." I said getting up. "You guys coming?" Goten asked as we headed to the gravity chamber. We set it to a hundred times normal gravity and powered up.
He made the first move, by trying to punch at me, I moved a bit and grabbed his out stretched arm and kicked him in the stomach. "Wait, maybe we should wait until I'm done digesting." H e said standing up holding his stomach. "Sorry." I said turning of the gravity. Uubu went to get more food from our room and we lay on the floor, talking about anything that came to mind. "Hey, do you think that maybe we'll have to take over our parents' job as protecting the world?" Pan asked. "We all looked at her, thinking hard on this. "Yea, I think so." Bra said, tossing a ki ball up and down. I batted hers away with one that I had thrown at her. "Hey!" She protested, and formed another one and tossed it at me, I caught it and tossed it to Pan, who tossed it to Goten. He threw it back to Bra and she passed it on to Trunks. "You do realize that this is going to explode soon right?" Goten pointed out. We played hot potato with it for awhile, when Uubu walked in. Pan tossed it to him, and he dropped everything to catch it. Just as he realized what it was, he tried getting rid of it, but it exploded in his face anyway. We all laughed at his misfortune, as Pan pleaded her case to him. He forgave her, and took a seat. We formed a circle and moved the food to the middle. I had a bowl of cereal and a few Pop Tarts. We cleaned up and went back to our room. When I saw my guitar I reached for my phone. I called up Brandon and asked if he had time, he said that he was free and had no life. I invited him over and told everyone that I was going to get a lesson. Trunks didn't seem threatened by him anymore.
When he got here I sat him down and told him what was going on between Trunks and I before we got started. "You guys are going to end up together." He said emotionless and flipped through the lesson book that he had gotten for me. "How can you say that?! You do realize that I'm still a teen right?" He nodded and dismissed everything as he began teaching me how to play my guitar. After about an hour we stopped and sat and talked, Everyone came down and greeted him. Trunks apologized, and we all sat around. I decided to go and freshen up. When I came back down we decided to drive around. "Why don't you come with us?" Uubu offered. He thought about it and decided to come along. I decided to make a quick call to Paris, and before I could say anything she was crying to me. I couldn't make out any of her words. "Paris, calm down, and tell me what happened." I instructed her, I heard her take a few shaky breaths. "Remember how I thought Chris was into me, I guess he isn't, and I think he was just toying with me and leading me on." She blurted out. Continuing she told me that she had a feeling that he was going to ask her out soon, but instead he asked out another girl. I told her to get dressed, and we were taking her out.
When I told the others they were all mad at Chris. Brandon was looking a little lost and I filled him in. "That's not right." He said sympathetically, Trunks drove over to Paris' and I ran into her room, and held her. I lead her to the car, and she noticed Brandon there. "Hi" she said shyly, he smiled and returned her greeting. Everyone scooted over, to make room for her, glad that I wasn't cramped in the back with the rest of them I leaned back into the passenger side's seat. "Where are we going?" I asked Trunks. "I don't know." He said smiling, I rolled my eyes. "Hey where do you guys want to go?" I asked before we ended up driving around in circles for hours on end. "Can we go to the park?" Paris asked. Without a word Trunks started driving in the direction of the park. We walked around for awhile, until we found a few swings. These were the swings that I had sat on with Paris that night. I smiled and noticed that they were wide. Trunks noticed me looking down at them and scooted me over, and took a seat. Wouldn't you know it, we fit perfectly.
I looked over to Brandon and Paris, they were getting along very well. He was pushing her on the swing, and she looked happy. They were obviously flirting, it was.. well, cute. At least Brandon was taking Paris' mind off of Chris. Trunks grabbed my hand and held it under his, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned my attention to him, and stared cluelessly into his eyes, and smiled. I rested my head on his shoulder and he stroked the top of my hand with his thumb. The eight of us talked idly, mostly about what we were going to do for the holidays. Brandon was going away for the holidays, and Paris was staying at home, and cooking her first meal. When we heard this we sort of edged away from her. You have to understand, she hasn't had much experience in the kitchen. Brandon was the only one who didn't know what he was getting himself into when he asked to sample her food. Next thing you know, we're planning to meet in front of Capsule Corp. on Christmas. Where the eight of us would meet and Paris would poison us. I mean, where she would give us some of her delectable food.
We eventually got up and went back to Capsule Corp. after we were done. Apparently we decided to play tag, because we were running around Capsule Corp. away from Goten. I had become his main topic after awhile, and I felt that my lungs were about to give way. I slipped into the bathroom and locked the door. "Hey! You're cheating!" Goten yelled through the door. "You don't know, I may actually need to use the bathroom!" I countered "Oh.. sorry." I heard him laugh nervously and tried to hold in my laughter until I was sure that he was gone. I took some time to regain some strength and slowly opened the door. I stuck my head out slowly and looked around. There was no one in sight so I stepped out and made my way down the hall. Trunks had suddenly appeared around the corner, he smiled at me, and strode over faster to me. "Hey!" He said. "Hey, have you seen Goten?" I asked backing away a bit, just in case Trunks was now 'it'. He shook his head and when he was a few steps away from me he made a move to tag me. But I jumped out of the way and laughed as he ran after me. I lead him to Bra, to get his attention off of me. If worked, and poor unsuspecting Bra was tagged. Now I was running side by side with Trunks. After a few hours we all collapsed in the living room, my head was spinning.
Paris and Brandon went home and after we were all settled we settled for watching a handful of movies. We were each snuggled up with our rightful partners and fell asleep in the middle of 'Spriggan', or at least I did. But not before recognizing the ringing of my cell phone. But I was too tired to bother and drowned out the sound by burying my head into Trunks' side and hearing the soft thumping of his heart. This, I could get used to.
