Author's notes: After closing the poll it's safe to say that Trunks won. Maybe I'll write a Vegeta or Gohan or Goten crossover later on. On a more serious note, I would like to thank everyone for their patientiness because of my family death.
Learning to Trust
By Suki
Chapter 2
She slowly opened her eyes, at first not recognizing her surroundings, and then groaned as she looked around the room barely illuminated by the almost full moon outside. [Idiot. How could you have done this?] Makoto slowly got out of bed, and not bothering to even look in the mirror put her hair in her usual ponytail. [Might as well get some training done.]
*~*
As Makoto was walking back into the house, she heard that the other people in the house were having breakfast mumbling she walked over to what appeared to be the kitchen and stopped at the door as she heard the conversation inside which was obviously about her.
"I just don't trust her." Stated a familiar female voice from inside
"Chi Chi come on. She's not all bad." Goku replied not even bothering to finish chewing his breakfast.
"Don't talk with your mouth full." She unconsciously glared at her husband. "She's rude. I went to wake her up this morning and she wasn't even there. She left without saying goodbye, she's a bad influence on our sons." She continued.
"Piccilo was just like her when he appeared…" Goten stated trying to reason with his mom. "That's what Gohan tells me anyway. And look what kind of bond they have now."
"And he kidnapped your older brother and tried to kill your father. That is hardly the type of relationship I want you developing with her." She roughly picked up her plate and just as roughly put it into the sink. The crashing of the plate against the sink made both of the men tense.
Goten opened his mouth again, and Goku shout his a glance that said 'Don't bother, she made up her mind.' Which he nodded to.
"Listen to your father." Chi chi stated not even turning around.
"Morning, Makoto." Goku stated cheerfully seeing her. "Where have you been?"
"Training." She muttered as she went to the table and poured herself a glass of water and walked out of the room without saying anything else.

Some prince, this planet has made you forget who you are, in order to know ones self you need to know your past.
What did she mean by that? Trunks wondered. She was so mysterious and Trunks wanted so much to wander through her mind and figure everything about her. [Wait what am I saying?]
[She's annoying, rude, inconstiturat, mean]
*~*
Trunks slowly walked up to the Son residence to pick up Goten.
"Why hello Trunks." Chi chi greeted him cheerfully. "Come on in, I'll get Goten."
Makoto was laying on the sofa bored the television was on but she wasn't paying attention, only staring up at the ceiling and thinking. [What's idiot boy doing here?]
"Hello." Trunks greeted her trying to be friendly.
"Hmm." She murmured not bothering to look at him.
"Aren't you even going to ignolige that I'm here?"
"What do you want Idiot boy? Did the little boy loose his toy?" her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"That's better." Trunks smiled friendly at her, which she ignored. "What exactly did you mean earlier?"
"I thought that was pretty self-explanatory, but apparently all you seem to have is a pretty face."
"You little…"
"You little what?" she teased him. After he didn't respond she added. "See idiot boy, you wouldn't last a day in the real world."
"Oh course I will, because…"
"Because you had your mommy and daddy to hold your hand?" she cut off.
"I did not have my…"
"Don't kid yourself, Idiot boy." She chuckled to herself.
"Would you let me finish?" Trunks yelled at her.
"Hey Trunks, Makoto." Goten said happily unaware of what he just walked into. "Makoto, Trunks and I are going to the movie theater, would you like to go?"
"Goten you can't" Trunks stammered. "She's…"
"She's not a bug Trunks loosen up." Goten stated.
"Aww is Idiot boy afraid of the big mean bugs."
"Imagine the prince of the saiyains afraid of a little bug." Goten added laughing.

AN: I'm not quite happy about how this chapter turned out but needed this chapter to set up for the next chapter Movie Theater part 1.
