Chapter 2: Family and Sunshine

As my dad and i emerged from the ship, we were greeted by the warmth of the sunshine and our family.

"Wow, today is beautiful," I whispered.

My mom threw herself into Vegeta's arms almost toppling them both over. And in the meanwhile, i was occupied in the warm embraces of my grandparents.

"I can't believe how much you've grown Bra," my grandma chuckled out.  She then scanned me from head to toe.   "You're a sexy young thing now aren't ya honey?"  She smiled at me and squeezed me tightly again.

"Well look who's here!"

I swung around from my grandparents to quickly place the face to that voice.

"Trunks!"

I ran and threw myself in the arms of my brother.  I was so happy to see him again.

"Hey, so what's up?"
"Nothing much," I replied. "I see you've grown into more of a hunk."

"And you've grown into a hell of a babe."

We both laughed.

"Well, let me show you to your room. Where's your luggage?"
"Oh, it's right over there."
And I pointed towards the entrance of the spaceship.
"OK, stay right here. I'll collect your bags and we'll head upstairs."

While waiting for Trunks to collect my things, I could faintly hear my parents sucking each other's faces out in the background.  I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Just gross I thought to myself.  I swung around and shouted at them.

"Can't u guys wait till u get inside or something. Jeez!"

My mom turned around and glared at me

"Is that any way to talk to your mother?!"
"Well I see someone hasn't changed," I mumbled.

"Come over here and give your mom a hug."

"Aww mom," I fretted.

Soon after Trunks flew over with my bags.

"Come on Bra, let's go."
"We'll talk later mom," I shouted.

Trunks and I headed towards the house.

"So where's everybody else? I was expecting to see Goku and the entire gang."

"They'll be here later on today," Trunks replied. "It's Friday, so everybody had their own little things to do. Who's working, who's training and who's going to school."

"Oh, I see."

"Yeah, so mom decided to throw a party later on tonight to celebrate you and dad's return."

"Ooo, a party. Cool. Bringing any dates?" I winked at my bro.

"Actually..." Trunks started to scratch his head. "...here's the thing..."  A silly expression came across his face. "...I'm engaged."

"What?!" I said in shock. I stopped at the entrance to the house and turned around to face Trunks.
"Are you serious?"

"He he, yeah I am."

"Weren't you the one saying -I'm not getting engaged any time before 25- ?"

"Oh yeah, forgot about that. Well I'm 24 now, so that isn't too bad right?"
He then winked at me.
"Come on, let me show u to your room."

I followed Trunks up some stairs until we were standing in front a red door.

"Sis, you're 17 right?"

"Yes, I am," I replied. "Why, don't tell me you lost track of my age already..."

"Nah, just making sure I had it right that's all."

"So tell me about this fiancé of yours."

Trunks laughed.

"OK, I'll tell you everything you wanna know."

And after closing the door to my bedroom behind us, Trunks and I began a deep conversation...
