*~*~Man who fart in church sit in own pew.~*~*
As I returned to the plane, I dared not to look into anyone's eyes. I knew that there would be remarks and comments as far as the eye could see. I walked past Goten, who was looking for a reason to fall and land on Karlie. He purposely bumped into me and said a little, "Oh no!" and staggered 8 feet back into Karlie. Karlie laughed and caught him. "Oh dear! Clumsy me! I must have tripped!" Goten said with a smile. Karlie giggled and held out a hand. "Need some help, 'fallen angel'?" Goten smiled and nodded. "Yes, thank you." I stood in the door way, mouth gaped open. "What in the hell?" I said. Karlie looked over at me. "Oh! Sere! Trunks is looking for you! I think he went into the air port." She said still clung to Goten. "Thanks. I'll go find him." I said turning and beginning to exit the room. As I turned, Trunks was standing in the doorway. "Serena..." He said with a scowl on his face. "What...?" I replied crossing my arms. "We need to talk." Trunks said pointing over his shoulder. I nodded and walked past him, leaving the plane.
I leaned up against the plane, looking Trunks square in the eyes. "What would you like to say? Any explaining to do?" I asked with an angery scowl on my face. Trunks crossed his arms and looked aimlessly at me. "What are you talking about?" I leaned forward and pointed at him. "You know damn well what I'm talking about! Why are you acting so odd?! I try to do something and you freak out! You've been all clingy and you wont stay out of the same room as me for five seconds!" Trunks growled and pointed back. "So you're mad because I love you, now? Is this what it's about?!" "Trunks, you don't usually act like this! What is going on!?" I yelled with a confused pitch. Trunks turned and began to pace. "I've just had a lot of things on my mind, and what with work and all I just need someone to--" "Drive crazy? Someone to worry about you and about what you might be doing to your life? Is that it? Because lately I was beginning to believe you just liked making me scared and lonely!" I interupted. By this time, tears were beginning to swell in my eyes.
"Serena, just becuase I have to work doesn't mean I don't want to spend time with you! I'd give up work any day to spend it with you, but I can't! Thats just it! I'm going to ask my mom to cut my week a little shorter for me so we can do things together, but that's the best I can do! I'd quit right now, but I have to take care of you and the company!" I bit my lip and choked back tears. "You can quit your work! You're in the richest family in the world!" Trunks shook his head. "I just can't leave the company out in the cold, you know that." I wiped my eyes on my shoulder, keeping my arms crossed. "I know that, but..." Trunks walked forward and wraped his arms around me. "I'm going to do everything I can to make us together more. But until then, you have to be patient. Things on Earth aren't as easy as they are in the castle."
I dug my face into Trunk's chest and cried. I didn't know what to feel anymore. I was so confused. "I-I just love you more than a-anything... I don't want to lose you..." I said through sobs. "I love you more than anything too, but we just have to work out some things." Trunks pulled me off his chest and looked at me. "But you have to stay stong and not worry about anything. Understand?" I nodded and blinked slowly, letting some tears run down my cheek. "Alright." He said letting me fall into his chest again.
Karlie was watching from the plane window. "Aww... How sweet..." Goten was behind her, fixing his hair as fast as he could. "Goten, don't you--" She stopped as she saw Goten's hair. It was parted to one side and slicked back. She couldn't help but laugh as hard as possible. "W-What, poppet? Don't you like it? I did it just for you!" He said with a proud smile on his face. Karlie nodded while covering her mouth, shielding her laughs from excaping. "Goten, please go fix your hair..." She said muffling a blurt of laughter. "Karlie, don't you think it looks good?" "Great Goten! Fab! Just.. go put it back to normal!"
Trunks and I walked back into the plane, hand in hand. Goten was fixing his hair and Karlie was reading a people magazine. "You ready to get to our cabins?" Trunks asked the excitable couple. "Sure am, Trunks! I even brought my surf board!" Goten said getting in a fighting stance. "Great. Well everyone go get your stuff. I'll go get our car." Trunks said taking a capsule out of a case, tossing it up once and catching it again. "Alright!" Karlie shouted running for the cargo tank. Goten chased after her running his fingers through his hair sending it back to it's normal spunkieness.
I walked to the cargo tank and peeked inside. Nothing seemed less than normal. I grabbed my bag of capsules and closed the cargo door. I was curious to what Trunks had packed. "Trunks! Do you want me to grab your stuff?" I shouted out. Trunks looked over at me from 20 feet away. "Sure!" He called back. I gave off a grin and dug around in the cargo tank. "What's taking you so long, Sere?" Karlie asked from in the car. "Nothing! I... just dropped something!" I said rummaging. "Come on! The surf is going to die!" Goten pouted. "I'LL BE THERE WHEN I'M GOOD AND READY, GOTEN!" I yelled back. Goten shuddered and rolled up his window. I walked back to the car a second later. "What took you so long?" Trunks asked. "I just accidently spilled my capsules out of the case, thats all." I asnwered opening up passenger front seat door and hopping in. "Oh. Everything all situated now?" Trunks asked. "Indeed." I replied with a smile. "Alrighty! Lets gooooo!" Karlie said grasping onto the back of my chair and shaking it. With that, we rode off to the cabins in our hover convertable.
The cabins were beach front and made of bamboo and glass. (Not grass, glass. Trust me. I made it...) "It's... beautiful!" I shouted standing up and putting my hands on the windshield. "Isn't it pretty Goten?" Karlie asked looking at the cabins. There was no answer. Karlie looked to her left and saw Goten had fallen asleep with his arm over his head and slouched, his back touching the seat. "Awww..." Karlie said smiling. "Well, lets get set up so we can go play on the beach!" I said. Trunks rummaged in his shorts pocket for the keys. "You have the keys, right?" I asked. "I have the keys somewhere. Don't worry!" He said switching to check his other pockets. Trunks pointed to the dash compartment. "Check and see if I put them in there." I leaned forward and dug through maps and registration papers. "No keys." I said biting my lip.
"Crap. I must have left them on the plane. I'll go back, you guys stay here and play on the beach until I get back." Trunks said putting the contents in his pockets back. "Alright. Don't take too long, we'll miss you." I said opening up the car door and getting out. "I wont." He said turning the car back on. "I'll carry Goten to the back." I said signaling Karlie to get out. "I'll go warm your spot on the sand!" She hollared rushing to the beach. I picked up Goten and carried him to the beach, treading through sand and vines. Trunks pulled out of the diveway, heading back to the airport.
Karlie and I sat on the sand watching Goten tread through the water. "He's an amazing speciman, isn't he?" Karlie said sighing. I laughed and watched him fall face first into some coral. "Indeed." Karlie turned to look at me. "Sere, do you think we're ok together?" I glanced over at her. "What do you mean?" "Well, I mean, he's just so perfect. Isn't he?" I started laughing. "No! I mean it! He's funny, sensitive, loves to eat, likes to play, I mean, I have never met anyone quite like him!" Goten began throwing rocks into the ocean twice his size. "And he's strong too! Look at him!" As she said that, I thought to myself, 'Whooptie Doo. I saved my planet.' "He is a lively one." I replied. "He's so... so... right! Serena, I can't lose him!" Karlie said clutching the strings of her bikini top "Whoa there. You just met today! You don't know Goten at ALL." "What is there to know? Color by numbers, Sere! Look at him! There isn't much more to figure out!" "True, but lets just sit this one out and watch for a while." Karlie sat back down and looked out into the ocean. "Have you ever felt so in love that nothing ever felt so importaint? That only breathing and eating are your only distractions?" I looked out to the ocean with her and watched Goten dive around. "Yeah. I know how it feels. It's never as real as it seems, is it?" I asked. "Nope. Never."
Trunks returned an hour later, house keys in hand. "Where were they?" I asked jumping up to greet him. "Wedged between the airplane seats. They must have fallen out of my shorts." Goten was starting a fire on the beach with two sticks when Trunks looked over at him. "Getting a bon fire started, Goten? Or are you just fiddling with sticks?" Goten looked up from his concentration. "Fire... Fire good... Fire make sun god happy..." "Oh no, he's gone native." I said laying back in the sand. "Naah. I just like to kid ya." Goten said looking up with a smile. Soon a bon fire was started as the sun began to set. The air was still hot and the sand was still warm. Trunks was sitting next to Goten, who was eating a coconut. I leaned up against Trunks and used him as my back rest as I dug my feet under the sand and wiggled my toes. "I've never been to the beach before. We'll have to go more often, Trunks." I said looking behind me. "Indeed." He replied. I glanced up and looked at the colorful clouds. "Isn't it beautiful, Goten?" Karlie said looking up as well. Goten glanced up. "What? That cloud in the shape of a--" "GOTEN!" I yelled, interupting him. Goten slumped. "Oh Goten, You're so great!" Karlie said clinging to Goten's side.
"Trunks, wanna go swimming?" Goten asked. Trunks looked over at the ocean. "Hmm. It looks kind of choppy out there." Goten grined. "Afraid of the waves? You haven't turned soft on me, have you?" Trunks smirked. "And what if I have?" "Then I'll throw you in!" Goten said jumping onto his knees. "You couldn't throw me in if you had all the power in the universe!" Goten growled at Trunk's comment and dove over the fire, tackled him, pushing him into the sand. Trunks pushed Goten out and ran for the ocean laughing. Goten chased not far after him shaking sand out of his swim shorts.
