While you were sleeping

Chapter 8: Doesn't anybody use the phone anymore?

Ryanna walked into her apartment later that night. She groaned and banged her head against the closet as the door knocked. "Who is it?"

"What gives?" It wad Joe Jr. Ryanna gave an agitated sigh and opened the door. Joey walked in and pointed a finger at her. "You stood me up."

"Stood you up for what?"

"Our date."

"What date?"

"To the Icecapades, I had to eat your ticket." He pushed her off and walked into her room with a snuff.

"I never said I'd go on a date with you."

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't."

"Did,"

"didn't,"

"did,"

"didn't." Knock, knock. Ryanna held up her hands motioning him to be quiet "Who is it."

"Ryanna it's Goku." Ryanna cursed under her breath and covere joes mouth pushing him further into her apartment.

"Oh my god."

"What are you two- timing Joe Junior?"

"I'm not two timing I'm not even one timing." Jos pushed her off and pretended to act manly.

"Hey I'll fight the guy." Ryanna grabbed him and shoved him in teh closet.

"Not a word." He holds up a lace thong hef ound ina stack of clothes.

"Nice panties." Ryanna grabbed the underwear and slammed the closet door and ran to get the other.

"Hey Goku." Goku eyed the underwear.

"I like boxers but i could try them out." Ryanna blushed and shoved it in her pocket.

"Sorry, um come on in."

"Thanks."

"Do you want any coffee, or tea?"

"No I only came inhere to tell you something." Ryanna nodded and motioned him to continue

. "Ryanna the night you went to visit Goten I was outside the door. I know the truth." Ryanna looked to the floor.

"I'm sorry, but don't worry I'm gonna tell them soon." Goku shook his head.

"Don't tell them a thing. Listen with you the Briefs thought they would have Goten back. Tell them the truth and you'll take him away again." Ryanna nodded."We'll figure a way out of this mess. I'll take care of it."

"Okay thanks Goku." Goku turned to leave but then turned back around.

"Hey how did you know about, Goten and the one..." Ryanna gave him a knowing look. "You know something, maybe I don't wanna know." Ryanna chuckled and let him out then heard a crash from inside her closet.

"What in the Joey!" She opened the closet to see Joey holding a shoe.

"I slipped." Ryanna cocked an eyebrow. That isn't something you see everyday.

"You're trying on my shoes?"

"No when I fell my foot went right into the..." knock, knock.

"WHO IS IT?"

"It's me Trunks Briefs." Ryanna rolled her eyes and slammed her foot down.

"God doesn't anyone use the phone anymore?" Joey piped in behind her shoulder.

"I do." Ryanna shoved Joey back in the closet. "I'm not talking about 900 numbers."Joey looked on horrified.

"WHO TOLD?" Ryanna slammed the closet door and ran to let Trunks in.

"Hey Trunks, so more questions?" She grinned a lil too sweetly at the lavender haired man.

"No I have a wedding present for you." Ryanna gave him a thankful look.

"You shouldn't have." trunks chuckled and shook his head.

"I didn't it's from my parents. It's furniture; you want me to bring it up?" Another crash is heard making Trunks look inside skeptically.

"What was that?" Ryanna shifted her eyes.

"Uh, cat." Trunks cocked an eyebrow.

"That's a big cat." Ryanna laugh and played with the ends of her sweater.

"I uh thing you should, uh bring it to, bring it to Goten's apartment." He reached for her hand.

"You don't even know what it is yet." She tugged back slowly.

"Well you know; anything will look better in Goten's apartment." Crash. She gripped his hand again. "You know what I'll go with you." Ryanna grabbed her coat and followed Trunks out the door. Inside her closet Joe Junior fell throgh the door and winced looking atthe black high heeled shoe in his hand.

"That girl has to change her shoe polish." He threw the show back before walking out of Ryanna's apartment.

Ryanna and Trunks went down to the moving van and hopped in. On the way there they listened to the radio. Trunks sang several verses making Ryanna stare at him in awe. "Wow Trunks you got one hell of a voice. Have you ever though of going professional?" Trunks shook his head sheepishly.

"Running one of the biggest companies in the world doesn't exactly give me time for that." Ryanna cocked an eyebrow.

"Why don't you talk to your mother about giving the president job to someone else?" Trunks shook his head.

"It's not that simple." Ryanna stayed quiet for the rest of the trip but continued to listen to Trunks' singing.
