What's Betrayal Among Friends?
Chapter 20 – Hide and Seek
"This is nice."
The odd couple made its way through the streets and finally made it to the park.
"So, Trunks-kun. You still hadn't told me why you wanted to see me."
"Let's talk over there, ok?"
Paris squeeled when she realized Trunks was leading her to the most romantic spot in the park. The day was getting better by the minute.
'Thank you, Lady Luck, my sister!'
Two half Saiyans were walking through the same crowd, talking and laughing happily. On the way they saw a cute girl with a rabbit.
"Look at the fluffy bunny!"
"Aw, he's so cute!"
"He smiled at me!"
"He glared at me o_o" (A/N: sorry, I just had to put a smilie here ^^;;; )
Bra had to laugh at Goten's horrored look.
"The bunny's out to get you!"
She held her hands like bunny paws and stuck her front teeth, laughing evilly.
"Nyahahahaha."
"Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm haunting wabbits!"
Shrieking, the girl turned to run, but high heels tripping her, she was caught by her assailant.
"No! I don't wanna be turned into rabbit soup!"
Subconsciously, the bluette leaned against Goten, causing the Son boy to blush. He let go and walked on, scratching the back of his head. Bra pouted.
"Goten-kun…"
He tried to regain his cheerful smile.
"Come on, we don't have all day… no wait, we do! He he he…"
"Goten…"
"Ice cream! Let's get some ice cream!"
Being half Saiyan took its toll, and the girl caved in, even though the atmosphere was less than what she had imagined.
"With whipped cream and sprinkles!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
The two walked into one of the ice cream parlors, under Pan's watchful gaze.
"Uncle Goten, why can't you see what's right in front of you? Why did you have to bring that witch into our lives? And love her, on top of that!"
Deciding that those two would be fine, Pan took off in search of Trunks and Paris, and on instinct, she turned on her Ki. She didn't like that girl. Not one bit.
A happy tune rang through the lab as Bulma worked happily. The door opened, revealing her husband and a worried frown, a rare if existent sight.
"My, this sure isn't as rare as it used to be, ne?"
She asked Vegeta with a naughty grin.
"Well then, I'll be leaving…"
"No wait!"
The prince stopped and walked a few steps closer to her.
"You seem worried. What's wrong, the gravity room broke down again?"
"If only it was that easy."
Now the bluette's smile faded completely.
"What's wrong?"
"…The children."
To his surprise, and no little annoyance, she smiled.
"Nah, don't worry. Bra went out with a smile today, and Trunks got a date! I'm so happy!"
This still didn't calm the man. Aw contraire, it only added to his worry.
"So why the frown, still?"
"…nothing. Listen, I…"
"Yes?"
Dende must've had a fever. Vegeta blushed.
"I think it's time we spent some time together. Just to get your mother off my back."
He quickly added. Smirking, Bulma stood up and struck a feminine pose.
"Sure, why not?"
(A/N: god help me if I remember why I wrote this scene o.o just some pointlessness, I guess. And pro-Vegeta fics. Definitely o.o)
"I love this place! It's so romantic! Don't you think so, Trunks?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, sure. Depends on who you come here with."
They were currently standing on a bridge over the small lake in the park with ducks and swans swimming about. Paris was with her elbows on the railing, Trunks leaned against it, arms in his pickets. To be honest, he was more concentrated on Pan's energy signature. She was NOT supposed to be there. Though the greater part of him was grateful she was.
"Is it romantic to you now?"
The girl asked in a low voice as she momentarily rubbed her mid body against him. Trunks looked away, no emotion on his face.
"You're my best friend's fiancé. This situation at its base lacks the ability for romance."
She giggled somewhat triumphantly; He didn't push her away. How could he, when he wasn't paying her actions any attention?
"You know, you're a really good friend."
Considering the night before, Trunks greatly doubted that.
"So why are we on a date?"
Now Trunks pushed himself away.
"This isn't a date. But since you're getting married, I better start getting along with you."
The girl was completely dumbfounded.
"You're not going to tell Goten about me?"
A heavy sigh escaped Trunks's lips.
"He's too happy with you. I couldn't bear to tell him. Not now."
Smiling sweetly, the girl kissed the young man's cheek; it took all his will power no to wipe it off and slap her.
"You're really sweet, you know. So, what've you got planned for us next?"
Smiling at her, which was almost too much for him, Trunks led Paris to a bench with a full view of the park.
"Well, I thought we could just, hang out a while…"
The girl's cheeks got a bit red as the boy took her hand.
"…Get to know each other better."
Their eyes locked.
"I'm your best friend's fiancé."
"Not yet his wife, right?"
It took even more will power to keep from either laughing, or thanking god for the truthfulness of that last statement. But one thought kept bothering him.
'Bra, you better get here quick before I puke on her.'
Bra was busy giggling as she watched Goten eat his ice cream. It was such a cute sight!
"You're so cute, Goten-kun!"
"Thanks. You… you too."
She didn't have time to blush. Her white watch beeped, causing both of them to half glare at if. Then the girl chuckled nervously.
"Mou… Say, why don't we go hang around in the park for a bit? It'll be really fun! I promise!"
Of course she had her fingers crossed to get out of that promise.
"Ok! I'm ready for it! Let's go!"
The two half Saiyans left the ice cream parlor, hand in hand.
"Come on. I'll race ya!"
"No way! I'm on high heels here!"
"Ok then. Let's do this instead."
Picking Bra up, Goten blasted to the air with a grin. People in the street blinked as they disappeared from sight.
Pan felt sick to her stomach, watching her crush and her uncle's fiancé socializing.
'I can't believe it! To think I actually started to believe him! Ooooooh, that does it! I'm going to put a stop to this!'
And she was really going to, when two familiar energy signatures came to the park.
'Oh, shit! Goten and Bra! No! no no no no no! Go away!'
"I have to stop them now!"
"Pan-chan, wait!"
Before the Son girl could do anything, a pink wearing blonde stood in front of her, her entire pose ordering 'stop!'. Pan found it annoying to the point of insanity.
"Marron-chan! Can't you see what's going on? Can't you see it?! Look at what he's doing! Look! Do you really want Goten to see it?!"
"Yes."
Ubuu landed behind Pan, not uttering a word.
"How can you say it?! How?!"
"Simple. I trust Trunks."
"So this is what you're gonna do?"
"The question is what are you going to do about it, Pan-chan."
And suddenly, Pan wasn't that sure she knew the answer to that.
A/N: um, 152 reviews? 's that ok?
