Hotaru was given the rest of the day before her training was to begin. She
spent the entire day using a Saturnian technique she was taught around 300
years ago. She began to gather energy. She did so at a rapid rate, and
before long, her senses bristled, telling her that someone was nearby her,
watching her. 'That boy...' she thought. She broke her focus, and instantly
appeared within inches of the boy. "Is there something I can help you
with?" she said coldly.
"I was only told to tell you dinner was ready." Trunks replied just as coldly as she had confronted him. He was in a terrible mood. Some girl from school was downstairs meeting his parents. As if they were going to actually go out. He could tell from the look on his father's face that he was already thoroughly annoyed. He smirked to himself going down the stairs, when that girl caught up with him.
"I didn't mean to be so rude, it's just that I hate being interrupted while I focus. I'm usually not so cold to others unless they are my enemies." she stated. Her voice was no longer cold, but it remained empty rather than friendly, as if there were something missing from her that he had yet to understand.
"Well, I am not so cold either, it's just that the whore in my living room trying to convince my parents that she's the perfect woman for me is really ticking me off." Trunks said, rather off-handedly.
"May I have some fun with her? Just briefly?" Hotaru asked, a sudden gleam in her eye.
"What kind of fun?" Trunks asked, amusement written all over his face.
"Mental anguish?" Hotaru said innocently. Trunks laughed.
"She's too weak, it'd kill her." Trunks just said, still laughing.
"Well then you have to agree to this less fun idea." she said, suddenly serious.
"What is it?" he asked her.
"I'll pretend to be your girlfriend." she said. Her face was extremely solemn and unbroken. Trunks stopped and nearly fell the rest of the way down the stairs.
"Do you think that'll work?" he asked her.
"Of course it will. Who could resist this?" Hotaru said sticking her tongue out playfully. Trunks smiled.
"Alright... We should change and 'go to a movie'... Okay?" he asked.
"Why don't we really go to a movie?" she asked.
"Alright. We should still change." Trunks said, gesturing to his fighting gi and her fukuu.
"Deal." Hotaru made her way up to the room she was in, and put on street clothes. She didn't really have anywith her, but changing her clothes was obviously the same across dimentions. With a snap of her fingers while standing in front of the full length mirror, Hotaru had changed into a very nice street outfit. Saturnians had good taste, and it came in handy. She was wearing black hip hugging jeans that flared at the bottom, with a tight, cap-sleeved black shirt. Her black hair was the usual style, and she wore a black ribbon for a choker. She had on earrings that fell in swirls containing a pearl. Her black boots topped the outfit off.
In the other room across the hall, Trunks must've had the same thought train. His outfit went nicely with his long lavender hair. He kept it in its ponytail. He wore a black muscle shirt, and black, baggy pants. His black Capsule Corp. boots did nicely with his outfit as well. He walked out of his room at the same time as Hotaru walked out of hers.
"Nice outfit. It shows your muscles." Hotaru said smiling.
"You look hott." was all Trunks could say. "Oh, and arigatou." he said, smiling as well. Hotaru turned her head, for fear of him seeing her blush.
Heading down the stairs, the annoying girl's voice became louder. Trunks and Hotaru entered the room where his parents were, and Trunks spoke first.
"Dad, we need money... We're going to the movies." he said.
"You and who?" Vegeta said arching his eyebrows.
"Me and my new girlfriend. Now fork the yen." Trunks growled. Vegeta caught on.
"Oh, well, in that case, here." he said, handing them a good amount of yen. Trunks and Hotaru left, hand in hand, while the tramp sitting across from his parents began to cry.
~*~*~*
"Do you think we shocked her too much?" Trunks asked, smirking.
"That tramp? No." Hotaru laughed. Trunks just noticed this, but her laugh was soft and melodic.
"Hah, no, she got what she deserved. I meant my mother. And my father, I guess as well." Trunks said. His smirk was set firmly, but he let out a small laugh as well.
"Oh, that blue-haired woman was your mother?" Hotaru said laughing. "You should have heard her thoughts. She was wondering if I had appeared out of thin air. Apparently, your father hasn't told her about me yet." she smiled. But her smile quickly faded, as she realized that she just revealed she could read minds.
"You can read minds?" he asked her.
"Um.. yes." she said guiltily. 'Shimatte. I hope he doesn't hate me. But come to think of it, I have never been able to read his mind. I wonder why?' Hotaru thought.
"I can too... but, um, I tried really hard... Well, needless to say, I couldn't read yours." he replied, shocking her.
"I couldn't read yours either. It surprised me. I'm sorry. I should've told you. But, I wonder why I can't read your thoughts, and you can't read mine. It is highly unusual for this to happen. Even my mind blocks can be broken at a certain limit." Hotaru said.
"Two tickets to 'Stuck on You' please?" Trunks asked the cashier. He paid and handed Hotaru her ticket. "I honestly don't know the answer to that. But I do know my dad may know the answer to that. He reads minds as well, but he could never read my mother's." Suddenly Trunks realized what he just said. "Not that we're..." he trailed off.
"It's okay, I knew what you meant."Hotaru smiled. They handed their tickets to the man at the booth next to the theater they were to enter, and walked inside. Neither of them had realized that the girl from Trunks's house was following him until she sat next to him in the theater.
"So she's your girlfriend, huh?" she asked Trunks. He frowned, whispered to Hotaru, and they moved to a different part of the theater. Sometime during the movie, somebody sat down behind them, but they didn't realize, because they were talking.
"Hm.. yeah." Hotaru said. Trunks had just asked her if she liked anyone at home.
"You like anyone here?" she asked.
"No... who do you like?" Trunks asked. He kept the look of hurt off of his face. He hadn't thought anything of it until he asked her about it.
"Well, my favorite scout was always Jupiter, she always knew how to keep everyone else in check." Hotaru informed him. Trunks refrained from laughing.
"I meant guys." he said.
"Oh, no." Hotaru said, blushing. "That girl is watching us again." Hotaru said, changing the subject.
"I have a plan." Trunks said. He looked into Hotaru's eyes for a moment, and she whispered so softly that no ears short of a super saiyan could pick up.
"I understand." she said. She was about to experience her first kiss and she knew it.
