Chapter 10: Deception and regard

"Holy Tahiti, Ryanna, you were this close to getting your kiss." As Ryanna brushed her hair Vinny went on and on about how close she was to becoming human permanently. Getting up she closed his beak. She shook her head and walked to the balcony gazing at the stars.

It had been a nightly routine for her. Every night she would go out onto the balcony and look at either the stars or the ocean. She looked down and as usual there was Trunks out by the dock looking out into the ocean hoping he would see the girl who saved his life. Ryanna smiled to herself knowing that as soon as she kisses him he would finally know that it was her that had saved his life.

~Out by the dock~

Trunks sighed for the millionth time that day. He didn't know what was happening to him. He thought he was in love with the girl who saved his life, if she even existed, but now he's starting to have feelings towards Ryanna. A girl he barely knew, who couldn't talk, but was... he shook his head. "Hey Trunks." Turning around he saw Goten. "What's up, Goten?" "I've been thinking." "That must have hurt."

Goten rolled his eyes. "Ha, ha very funny. Anyway, I think you should give up on this dream girl. There is a girl right underneath your nose. She's everything you've been looking for, I know I can see it when you look at her. Do yourself a favor and marry her." Goten then leaves.

Trunks looks down at his hands that held his sketch. He frowned and crumpled it up tossing it into the sea. He looks up and sees Ryanna gazing at the stars. He smiles and begins to head there until he here's the song. "My gift is my song, and this one's for you. And you can tell everybody hat this is your song. It may be quite simple but now that it's done. Hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind. What I put down in words how wonderful life is now you're in the world."

Trunks glances at the figure and when it finally turns to him he recognizes her. "Hi Trunks." " Shana?" Shana smirks and sits up. "It, it was you? You were the one who rescued me?" Shana walks over to him. "You sound surprised." "I, I am. I can't believe it's you." Shana frowns. "Why not? I'm just your average human, that just happens to be overly beautiful, rich, and can sing."

Trunks shakes his head. 'No it can't be her. But it is, she has the voice, she has the eyes. I guess I have to do what I have to do.' Trunks sighs and gets on one knee. 'I can't believe I'm doing this.'

~The next morning. ~

Vinny flies around in a pit of happiness. He flies through Ryanna's window and screams. "WAKE UP SLEEPING BEAUTY!" Ryanna falls off her bed in a fit of sleepiness. "Guess what I just heard!" Ryanna shrugs getting up off the floor. "People are talking all about it that the prince is getting hitched."

Ryanna cocks an eyebrow. "You know, he's affianced, engaged, HE'S GETTING MARRIED!" Ryanna's eyes popped out of their sockets. "We did it! You little imp, you're dreams are gonna come true and you'll live happily ever after!" Ryanna broke out into a huge smile. She got up and dressed, brushed her hair so it was somewhat neat and hurried down stairs.

She ran through the hallways and jut as she turned the corner bumped into someone. "Hey whoa slow down Ryanna." Ryanna looked up to see Goten. She smiled and hugged him. "Well, uh good morning to you too. Hey um Trunks wanted to see you for something. He's in his room." Ryanna smiled and hugged him again.

She ran down the hallways and into Trunks' room. "Oh hey there Ryanna." She smiled at him and hugged him tightly. Trunks cocked an eyebrow and patted her back. "Ryanna will you come with me. I need to talk to you." Ryanna nodded her head excitedly. As soon as Trunks got dressed and ready they headed to the dock.

Ryanna sat on the edge and smiled happily. Trunks sighed and sat next to her. "Ryanna I need to ask you something." Ryanna looked at him and motioned for him to go on. "Well, incase you haven't heard, I've been looking for a wife and I think I've found the person I've been looking for." Ryanna smiled. "Ryanna Will you be..." Ryanna got closer to him. "Will you be Shana's maid of honor?" Ryanna's face fell and she gulped hard.

"I proposed to Shana last night. Turns out she was the one who saved my life." Ryanna's eyes widened. "Yeah I know, unbelievable eh? I owe her my life so I'm marrying her in four days, at night out on the sea. For some reason Shana wanted it to be held near midnight." Ryanna couldn't believe her ears. Shana knew, but how? "So will you? I care for you a lot and I want you to be, please."

Ryanna looked at him and smiled sadly. She nodded and Trunks smiled. "Thanks, I'll see you later okay. I'm taking Shana out to lunch." Ryanna nodded and waved. As soon as he was gone Ryanna broke out into tears. She couldn't stand it she stood up and jumped off the dock.

Vinny saw what she did and soared down. "Hey what are you doing?" Ryanna stopped swimming and pointed out to the sea. "Oh no you don't get back up onto dry land. I'll go get Pan and Marron, maybe they can talk some sense into you."

Ryanna sighed and went back on the beach. She sat on a rock near the reef and waited for her friends. Vinny returned about a half an hour later with Pan and Marron. "Hey there, girly, how's operation kiss going?" Ryanna suddenly broke into tears. "Oh my god what happened?"

Ryanna then heard horses where she saw Trunks and Shana getting off of them. Trunks helped Shana off and Shana smiled. Ryanna frowned and pointed to them. Maroon gasped. "No, he didn't!" Ryanna nodded and more tears sprang onto her face. Pan lifted herself onto the rock and hugged Ryanna. 'This is terrible.'

Okay, you realize what happened right? I hope so if not e-mail, or review me and ask, or you can just wait for the next chappie. I hope you review me anyway.. TA, TA!
