While you were sleeping
Chapter five: Introduction, Invitation, and advice.
It was 1:00am in Chicago and the night life was still busy about when Ryanna walked into the hospital with one purpose and one purpose only. Ryanna smiled at Goten's sleeping form. She would probably never have this chance during the day since his family was always there so now was as good a time as ever. "Hey, you're probably wondering what I'm doing here in the middle of the night huh." She sighed and took a step towards him. "Well I like to introduce myself. My name is Ryanna, Ryanna Millie Coutsa'n." She slide her brown wooly jacket onto the chair next to him. "I think you should know your family thinks we're engaged." She shook her head pursing her lips as if explaining to a kid that what she said was a no no. "Never been engaged before this is all new to me." She sighed and sat down next to him.
"You know the real reason I came here is that, I have no idea what to do. I mean, if you were awake I wouldn't be in this mess." She mentally cursed and touched his thigh... by accident of cours. "I mean not that I'm blaming you," she notes her mistake and lifted her hand. "sorry, but, it's just that, well. Ever since I was a kid I would always wonder where I'd be and what I'd be doing." She smiled and rolled her eyes and laughed. "I mean not that I'm complaining with what I have, I mean I have a cat, I have an apartment. Ooh, soul control over the remote, yah." She winked and smiled. Her then happy face turned into a sad frown. Her hand slid back down and touched his gripping it softly.
"It's just that, I've never had anyone I could laugh with. ever Since my dad died i had to fend for myself with no family i mean it was hard as a teenager yah know." She traced his knuckled and pulled back her bangs. "I've been alone so long." She smiled slightly. "Have you ever been so alone you spent the night with a strange man in a coma?" As she talked Goku stared through the glass. He had followed her in after seeing her wlaking down the streets alone. He sighed and looked to the ground. He had a feeling something was up with her but couldn't tell. Now he knew, and he felt sympathetic as he watched Ryanna Coutsa'n fall asleep next to Goten. She needed this family.
It was 7:00 in the morning when Ryanna woke up. She looked at her surroundings then at her watch. She mentally cursed, and gathered her things. She fixed her hair in a nearby mirror then looked to the sleeping man. "Bye." She turned around and...
"Ryanna!" She covered her mouth in shock nearly falling over the chair she had slept in. "Well we didn't know you were here." Bulma gave her a hug and she weakly returned it."Were you here all night?"
Ryanna nodded sheepishly. "Yeah."
Bunny laughed perkily. "Well you're like me, I can always sleep anywhere." Bunny sat down and Goku whispered.
"Believe me she has." Again with the humor. Ryanna laughed as bra and vegeta followed the three inside the room.
"Way ta go gram." Ryanna hid a giggle as Goten's family walked passed her.
"So how's Goten?"
"Well he has some color." Vegeta inspected Goten close.
"He has color, it looks like he has some color." Ryanna smiled and nodded.
"Well um I have to go." Bulma walked up to her.
"We um never got a chance to celebrate Christmas. It would be nice if you could join us." Ryanna winceda nd tugged the ends of her hair.
"Well I don't know I have to work." Bra piped in excitedly.
"Trunks is gonna be there." Bulma's eyes lit up.
"That's right you haven't met Trunks yet." Trunks? Who's Trunks?
"No not yet."
"Well here put your number on this card. I'll call yah and talk you into it." Ryanna smiled and took the card and wrote her number down. "And here's another card for when you change your mind."
Ryanna looked at the card and her eyes bugged out. "I guess by your reaction Goten didn't ell you that our family runs the company Capsule Corporations. Trunks is the president that's why you haven't seen him yet." Ryanna nodded her head numbly. Not only was Goten extremely cute and nice, but also his family was BLOODY RICH!
"So what's the big deal?" Ryanna looked shocked ather boss and practically ranted at him.
"What's the big deal? Kankton, they think I'm their future daughter in law. And the grandma she has this heart thing and if I tell them the truth she's gonna have a heart attack and she's gonna die and it's gonna be on my head." Kankton sipped his soda and nodded his head casually. The hotdog man placed a lil relish on her dog and handed it to Ryanna.
"Well then go along with it. And if when he does get out of his coma, they are gonna be so happy they wouldn't care if yah lie to them. They'd probably even thank you for it." Ryanna took the hotdog then gave it back.
"Just mustard." The hotdog man rolled his eyes. "Okay so what if he doesn't come out of his coma.?"
"Well then who's to know." Ryanna groaned and slapped a hand to her face. "Ryanna listen when I told my mother that I was getting married to my wife, her intestines exploded." Ryanna's eyes bugged out and she gawked at Kankton. "So you either tell them now, humph you might as well shoot the grandma." Ryanna rolled her eyes and banged her head on a near by wall.
"Why me?"
