~Chapter 5~
Ross rolled over at the feel of someone shaking her.
"Go away" she mumbled as she pulled the covers over her head.
"Come on Ross everyone is here already its 10pm" said Gotein as she pulled the covers farther over her head hiding in its comforting depths.
"Dad said its time to get up so..." said Trunks grabbing her and the covers in one big heap and throwing them over his shoulder.
"It's time to get up, besides your dad is here" he said as he opened the door and left her room.
"I don't wanna go" she whined as they descended the stairs.
He walked into the kitchen and plopped her into a chair as he opened the fridge.
Bulma looked over with the others; she had a smile on her face.
"Good morning dear nice to see you're up" she said as Ross looked around confused at all the people around her.
"How.... Did I get here?" she asked as trunks handed her a glass of O.J.
Everyone smirked at her comment.
"You're more like your dad every time I see you" said Krillen as she sighed.
"Thanks for the compliment... I think" she said as she took a sip of the juice.
Vegeta walked into the room.
"I didn't know we had the abdominal snow man in our presence" he said, she looked over at him.
"Funny to think you actually know what that is, did you get into the kiddy movies again" she said as they all laughed, she would be the only one to get away with that and not die at the hands of the almighty prince and he crossed his arms in annoyance.
She stood up and yawned as she clutched her bundle of sheets closer in need on warmth.
"Where's my mother?" she asked as Trunks scratched the back of his head at the awkward silence.
"She's with your dad somewhere I think they're arguing or something" he said as Ross walked from the crowd.
"Good, that should give me enough time to get out of here" she mumbled a bit at the end but they all understood.
"What do you mean you're not leaving again are you?" said 18
"No"
"She has a triple shift at work today" said Trunks as he crossed his arms knowing the truth gave him an advantage over her.
"Gee... thanks I thought you already did enough damage yesterday at school, guess I was wrong" she said as they all turned to him, he scratched the back of his head nervously, and Gotein began to crack up.
"What is she talking about?" asked Yamcha.
"Uh... nothing" he said as Gohan eyed him.
"Yeah if you call kissing her in front of the entire school nothing" mumbled Gotein, no sooner had he finished he was hit hard by trunks on the head.
"What?" said Gohan a bit angrily.
Trunks glared down at Gotein.
"Big mouth" he said as they all looked at him,
Krillen chuckled.
"It seems like just yesterday they were in diapers" said Krillen
"Who?" asked Ross as she walked back in rolling up the sleeves of her uniform it was a long-sleeved white button up shirt and a pair of black slacks, folded at the bottom, she actually had black tennis shoes instead of her combat boots, she had her hair in two French pig tails, with a strand of loose hair on her right side,
She looked confused at them as Trunks murmured something as h stared at the floor.
"What?" she asked as Bulma was just giddy at the idea.
"Oh dear you and Trunks of course!" she said holding Ross hand as she tilted her head with confusion.
Then she realized what the aqua haired woman was talking about and turned a death glare on her boyfriend.
"You told them?" she said angrily.
He grinned uneasily and then pointed to the now rolling Gotein.
"He...he did" he said as Ross moved her gaze over to the now frozen brother.
She took her hand from Bulma's grasp and smiled kindly at her,
"Excuse me im going to be late" she said as she moved away from the group.
Trunks gave Gotein one more death glare and followed her, thought the crowd was not far behind, peering through the cracked door.
~*~
"Are you mad?" asked Trunks as she tied her shoes.
"No... why would I be" she said with no emotion as she went to tie the other.
"I don't know cause, well wait why did you decide to take a triple shift you never told me" he said as she turned around.
"Lets just say the holidays aren't my cup of tea, look im gonna be late" she said as she grabbed her bag.
"You need a-"
"No, I'll fly" she said as she went out the door.
"But... you don't know how to fly" he said as she ran out of site.
~*~
Trunks closed the door behind him, and turned to see Gohan.
"Oh... hey" he said trying not to feel intimidated.
"Did she tell you why she was going to be gone?" he asked as Trunks laughed nervously.
"Well... no not really...why?"
Gohan looked away. "It's not important, I guess I can't blame her it's her first Christmas back... im sure she'll come around"
They walked back into the kitchen with the others.
"Yeah, it's supposed to be great" said Gotein, Trunks raised a brow.
"What?" he asked as Gotein looked over.
"There's a winter concert tonight... kinda like a coffee house in a sense im taking my date there" he said as they all chatted for a minute.
"Why don't we all go...? I mean there isn't much to do around here it might be fun" said Bulma, they all agreed to the idea.
~*~*~*~
Ross sighed as she served her last table of the night.
"Enjoy" she said as they nodded and began to eat, she sighed and went to the back of the kitchen taking off her apron.
"Im outta here" she said as they nodded,
"Oh wait" said her Boss as he gave her an envelope.
"What is..."
"It's your pay for tonight, you know doing the holiday shift gets you double pay, good work" he said patting her on the back.
She smiled and felt the weight of the envelope.
'This with my tips will start to take a big chunk out of that damn debt' she thought as she as she pocketed it and waved goodbye as she left through the back door.
She looked down at her pocket watch.
'Damn im gonna be late. It's already 6' she thought as she took off, letting a scene of recent events uphold her thoughts.
~Flashback~
Ross smiled as she packed up her bag for the holidays, her English teacher made his way over to her as the bell rang.
"Ross I was wondering... well we're having a concert tomorrow for a fund raiser to make a charity donation to the Children's Hospital... and I was wondering well even if you're bad if you could sing You don't have to be good and it's for a good cause and-" she stopped him about to decline the offer, but then remembered that it was for charity.
"...Alright I'll come make a spot for me" she said as he smiled.
"That's a girl" he patted her on the back as he left the room.
~End of Flashback~
Ross shook her head, 'Man I must have been feeling generous well... no worries no one I know will be there' she thought as she raced to the school for her act.
~*~
"Come on, come on find your seats" said an usher as some kids went to the vacant seats at the table next to them.
The lights dimmed a bit as the first performer went on stage.
Gotein joked with his date as the others conversed.
~ Mean while~
Ross was back stage with some gossiping performers the girls giving her looks and then whispering to each other, about Trunks and her no doubt.
She sighed as she went into the dressing room to change she was up next.
~*~
The crowd clapped as the guitarist went off stage, the concert was almost finished and the charity jar was far from full.
Ross teacher ringed his hands together.
"I hope she's good...we need it" he thought out loud as the band tuned their instruments.
A young woman came onto the stage.
"Thank you Mike, now we have a last minute performer, please welcome Ross Son!" she said as everyone at the table dropped what they were doing.
The room became quite as the lights dimmed and a spotlight was centered in the middle of the stage.
ChiChi rose to stand but Goku pushed her back down as footsteps echoed through the hollow stage.
Ross walked onto the middle of the stage as the crowd looked on in awe,
"What what's wrong Gotein" asked his date as he stared at the sight in amazement.
"That's... my sister" he said before he could stop the words.
There stood a young woman of 15 she wore a knee length black skirt, with black sandals in which her feet were actually unbound and her glossy pink toe nails shown through the room, a V-neck sapphire short-sleeved shirt adored her with a few chains tucked underneath it, it showed her curves beautifully. She wore her hair tied back in a dark blue bandana still in French pig tails, and her eyes sparkled with mischief as the band started up.
"Wow" said a guy from behind the table.
Ross closed her eyes to the crowd in front of her and began to hum the rhythm and then began to sing:
Hey Mona Lisa, who was Leonardo?
Was he Andy Warhol?
Were you Marilyn Monroe
Hey Mozart, what kind of name is Amadeus
It's kinda like Elvis
You gotta die to be famous
I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me
Her family looked on in disbelief, she was good, hell she was great... and the crowd loved it,
and her teacher grinned 'how could she got his long without being discovered?' he thought as she began again
I'll probably never hold a brush
that paints a masterpeice
Probably never find a pen
that writes a symphony
But if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind
She deepened her voice to the song a bit giving it an edge as she went up an octave in the next frame making the crowd go wild.
Hey Midas you say you have the magic touch
But even all that shiny stuff
Someday is gonna turn to dust
Hey Jesus it must have been some Sunday morning
In a blaze of glory
We're still tellin' your story
I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me
I'll probably never dream a dream
and watch it turn to gold
I know I'll never lose my life
to save another soul
But, if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind
Her family listened to the words of the song now, they knew there was a reason she picked the song but the thought passed their minds.
Hey baby see the future that we're building
Our love lives on in the lives of our children
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind
She held onto the last note which seemed like forever as the crowd cheered screaming for her to go on, she opened her eyes to the sound of cheering... she had blocked it out during her performance, she smiled as she saw a bunch of people empty their wallets into the charity jar.
She smiled and looked for her teacher but instead locked eyes with her family.
"Oh shit" she muttered as she put the mica back and left the stage in a hurry, the crowd still cheering.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Her family walked the streets slowly to Capsule Corp.
"That was... unexpected" said Yamcha breaking the silence.
"Yeah, I mean who knew she could sing like that?" he said chuckling until he saw ChiChi's icy stare, he shut his mouth.
"I wonder why... she hid it" Gotein muttered.
~*~
Ross sat on the roof, her legs huddled to her chest as she breathed in the cold air, she sighed and wrapped her feet, and she sighed when she heard the front door shut.
'Great...' she thought knowing they would be questioning her.
Thump
Thump
Thump
And sure enough lead feet were trudging up the stairs, and a door opened, she groaned and flopped onto her back.
Gohan much to her surprise climbed out of her window and onto the roof beside her not looking down.
"Hard day" he said simply as she rose to sit in a cross legged position.
"No... a holiday" she said as he looked over at her, she sighed and laid her head on her shoulder.
He smiled; she always did that when she was young.
"Let it be over" she murmured as sleep took over her.
He grabbed her and took her inside sheltering her from the storm to come.
