Present-Day Cinderella
Author's note: I do not own DBZ/GT or the Cinderella story theme. I DO however own Ryanna and Kankton, and this particular story. I did take a bit of scenes and phrases from the human version of the movie, but other than that, well yah know! ^__^
Ryanna: I don't own Cinderella either! ^__^

Chapter two: Life styles of the rich and poor
It was noon sharp and Trunks pulled up to his home, Capsule Corporation. As soon as he went inside his best friends, Goten, Uub, and Kankton {not related to Ryanna} were waiting for him. "Man dude, you're in for it now. Skipping work again and going out instead." Trunks smirked. "Well it sure was worth it." Each boy gave off a sly look. "Ooh, do tell Trunks, whom did you meet?" Trunks sighed happily and leaned back into his recliner. "An amazing girl, She was naturally beautiful, had a great sense of herself, and the best part is she wasn't one of those spoiled airheads. Though her stepsister was another story. Man what a bitch!" Goten and the others laughed. Trunks soon joined in.
"Trunks!" Trunks fell out of his chair in surprise and horror. There was his mother, angry eyes, hands on her hips, and a scowl placed on her lips. "Just where in Dende's name have you been?!" Trunks gulped and looked at Goten and the others for help. "Well Trunks it's been nice knowing yah, hey before you go can I have your car?" Trunks glared but then became more concerned about is mother. "How do you expect to live up to your needs when you keep taking off like this?" "I just went to the mall." "Well isn't that just fine and dandy! The only way I plan on letting you off the hook is if you tell me you met someone."
Goten spoke up. "But he did me- humphhumph." Trunks covered his mouth. Bulma let a smirk escape her. "You did meet someone?" Trunks groaned and glared at Goten. "Well that's great! When do I get to meet her?" "I barely know her mom. I don't even have an E-mail address!" Bulma's smirk widened. "I hate that look mom, what are you up to?" "Oh nothing special" Trunks cocked an eyebrow. "Just a party." He rolled his eyes. "Right," He got up and headed towards the kitchen. "I invited some friends." "Okay." He gulped down some orange juice. "And practically every eligible young woman in Japan." The juice came flying out of his mouth. "*cough*, *cough* WHAT!"
Bulma smiled. "I thought I was doing the right thing." "By inviting every self centered female in the country, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" "Oh," Bulma closed Trunks' gaped mouth. "You worry too much. It's just a nice costume ball, dancing, singing, romance, you know the works!" "Mother I'm putting my foot down. I will not be apart of this." Bulma began to pout and her eyes watered. Trunks groaned. "Oh no mom, please not the whining thing!" Bulma's lip trembled and she let out a whine. All the men covered their ears, including Vegeta who recently stepped into the room. "OKAY! I'll go!" Bulma immediately perked up. "Great, I thought I would have to cancel 300 invitations." Trunks Anime dropped. "YOU MEAN YOU SENT THEM OUT ALREADY!" Bulma smiled innocently. "You mean you expected me to wait?" Trunks sweat dropped, groaned and banged his head on the kitchen table.
~Meanwhile~
At a cozy two-story house near the suburbs of West City, Ryanna finished that last of the laundry and was now on her way to get the mail. She opened the big white box and pulled out two handfuls of letters. "Bills, bills, junk, bills, love letter, love letter, bills, Invite, bills... Wait a minute!" She looked at the invite, opened it up, and read the message.
To all the eligible females in the house hold:
You are cordially invited to a grand costume ball. My son Trunks Vegeta Briefs, is looking for a polite, graceful, and open hearted person to become his wife. If you follow these qualities this is your chance to have an honor of a lifetime. Please come to Capsule Corporation dressed in your costume; the festivities will begin at 8:00 PM, Saturday, please come.
Yours truly,
Bulma Briefs
P.S. You may dress in whatever you like.
Ryanna looked at it shocked. 'WOW!' She raced inside the house and headed upstairs where Marron was getting her daily music lesson. Bad piano music is heard as she walked up the stairs. She winced as Marron played the wrong notes. "That was beautiful Marron! Play it again!" Ryanna knocked. "WHAT IS IT!" Ryanna slowly opened the door. "Excuse me step-mother, I have the mail. There's an invitation from Bulma Briefs in here as well." "Well that's nice but you know better than to... There's a WHAT!" Eighteen grabbed it giving Ryanna a paper cut. Krillen, eighteen's new husband walked over to Ryanna and graciously took the rest of the mail from her hands.
"Oh this is excellent! Marron find your best costume, you're going to become the future Mrs. Trunks Vegeta Briefs!" Marron squealed. Ryanna smiled politely and meekly approached her stepmother. "Excuse me stepmother, but do you think I can go too?" Eighteen and Marron gave her disgusted looks. Marron took the invite. "The invitation doesn't say rags required, it says attractiveness to attend, which happens to be me!" Ryanna tried to hide a glare. "Why should I let you go?" "Well I did all my chores, I helped Marron with her shopping, and I wish to see Marron gracious Mr. Briefs with her presence."
"What do you plan to wear? This isn't a football game you know. It's a costume ball which means you dress properly." "I could borrow one of Marron's outfits. She has plenty of clothes and costumes I could try on." "HELL NO!" "Exactly in all the same sense, the decision whether you go or not," she got close to Ryanna's face in a threatening way. "Is mine!" With that Marron and Eighteen stomped out of the room. Krillen gave her a sympathetic look. "It's all right, Ryanna. She's just very set in her ways." Ryanna smiled sadly and hugged the kind short man.
