Ch.17: Valentine's Day Part 2 (aka: Vases?)
Videl and Peresia walked into their science class and saw Akurei and Yuki talking with their boyfriends. Videl had been transferred from history to science due to a mistake in the records. They both sat at their lab tables and carefully placed their roses beside them.
Akurei and Yuki, noticing them walk in, got up and went over to them.
"So, you gave you the roses?" Akurei asked. They already knew who, but they wanted them to be able to tell them.
"From Gohan and Trunks." Peresia answered.
"Wow. It seems like we all have someone special this year." Yuki smiled and she and Akurei went back to their seats to talk to their guys.
"Congratulations."
Videl and Peresia turned around.
"Ph, hey Shena."
"Do you have a boyfriend too?" Videl asked.
"His name is Bo. HE has short brown curly hair and soft chocolate eyes."
"That's great. Are you two coming to the Ball tonight?"
"We wouldn't miss it for the world." Shena smiled, combing her platinum blonde hair behind her ears.

Gohan and Trunks were sitting at their desk in History class when Sinistra, Erasa and Nami walked over to them. Erasa hung on Gohan's arm as they talked.
"Hey. Are you two having a wonderful valentine's day?" Sinistra asked, sitting in a chair in front of the guys and turning around to look at them.
"I guess you could say that." Trunks scratched the back of his neck.
"I have. Chinuk gave me a huge Teddy bear and asked me out this morning." Sinistra spoke happily.
"So what about you two?" Nami walked over and leaned on the desk looking into their faces. "Do ya'll have someone special?"
"Actually we do." Gohan answered and was relieved that Erasa let go of his arm.
"Who?" Erasa asked nonchalantly.
"Peresia."
"Videl."
"That's great!" Erasa smiled, and even though she seemed happy, she was a bit upset.

During Home Ec, they had a valentine's party. The room was decorated in red, white and pink streamers intertwined together to form beautiful spirals in the middle of the ceiling and flowing out to the corners. There were also hearts taped on the wall and white and red balloons gathered together in all the corners and eating table.
There was a long rectangular table against the wall with a white tablecloth with red and pink confetti hearts all over it. Platters of chips, dips, cookies and sandwiches covered the table and a large crystalline punch ball sat on the end filled with a red-orange fruit drink.
The types of cookies were those of the winners during the contest they had earlier, and the sandwiches were half ham and half turkey with lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise, and mustard and cheese on the side.
"It's beautiful." Yuki stared wide-eyed, moving in circles to examine the entire room.
"I wonder who decorated the room." Peresia, Videl, Akurei and Yuki were still holding onto their beloved roses and Trunks and Gohan had not yet arrived.
"Hey, lovely roses." Nami and her boyfriend approached them.
"Thanks." The girls smiled, blushing slightly.
"So, what did YOU get her?" Akurei looked to Luke.
"He got me a 24kt gold bracelet." Nami held out her hand for all to see. She was wearing a fine piece of jewelry that was designed to look like a chain of hearts connected together. "We've been together for three year, and he decided to surprise me this year with something besides roses." Nami smiled and Luke, who stood a bit behind her, blushed a bit.
"It's lovely." Yuki peered down at it to get a closer look.
"We have no use for jewelry, although it would be nice to get something thus gorgeous." Peresia spoke indicating Akurei, Yuki and her herself.
"Speaking of which, I wonder where Gohan and Trunks are." Videl and Peresia didn't want to eat without them. They searched the room but they saw no sign of them, but they did notice their teacher walking towards them with a HUGE grin.
"Hey girls." Mrs. Cookie walked up to the girls and Luke. "I bought some small vases yesterday if you want to put your roses in some water. They're right inside the cabinet over thee" She pointed to the small wooden storage component in the back of the room.
"Uh...sure." Peresia stuttered, a bit confused.
"Thanks." Akurei nodded her head as the teacher walked away. They all moved over to the cabinet and took out four crystal vases, placed them on the table and filling them with water. They each wrote their names on the ribbons tying their roses together then placed them in the water.
As they walked back to the front of the room they saw Gohan and Trunks standing in the doorway looking around.
"Hey." Peresia and Videl, followed by the others, walked over.
"Where were you guys?" Videl asked.
"Our history teacher needed us to put up a few posters for her." Gohan answered. "Where did you roses go?" He and Trunks just realized that they weren't holding them in their hands.
"Oh, Mrs. Cookie bought some vases and gave us some. We placed them on the table by the window in water." Akurei pointed to the table in the back.
"I still don't quite understand why she bought vases in the first place." Yuki stated.
"I know the answer to that." Everyone turned his or her attention to Luke. "It's been said that her husband had first asked her out on Valentine's, proposed to her on Valentine's and married her on Valentine's. She loves the holiday."
"Ok. That's a bit...different." Yuki furrowed her eyebrows.
"Anyway. Enough about vases. Since you guys have arrived, why don't we eat?"
Next Time: 'Valentine's Day Part 3' (aka: Lunch Guest) (Videl, Yuki, Peresia and Akurei leave early with Bulma to help set up for the party. But what about Vegeta?)
Stay Tuned!
A/N: It's almost time for the Ball! Are you excited? You should be, because everything starts to unravel on this fateful night. ^-^
