(Though no one reviewed my last chapter, I have moved on!)
Hello everyone! Here I am at the movies with my good friends...and Pan.
Pan: -mumbles- You'll regret that soon enough...
What is THAT supposed to mean?
Trunks: -covers her mouth- Nothing! Nothing at all!
Pan: -pulls away- Oh Trunks, I completely for got! We have that thing!
What thing?
Trunks: Oh! That thing with CJ! Right! Well, very sorry, but we must go!
Pan: Yes, must go! -dashes away with Trunks-
Well, I guess that leave me and...-looks at Goten-
Goten: Oh dear...

"Well," Trunks whispered into her ear, "what to you think?" CJ thought it best to act surprised. "It's amazing! But...but how?" she questioned, glancing upward. He smiled. "I promise you'll know soon enough..." CJ just shook her head. "You're so full of surprises, aren't you?" she chuckled. 'Oh, you just wait and see...' he thought. For you see, he had a plan. A plan for how to find out if...he really felt so strongly about CJ. And maybe how she felt about him. Maybe.
**It's funny how a few moments of bliss can cause you to forget all of your pain. Those hardships that you've dealt with, all erased, even if only for a few moments. I remember, flying with him that day, feeling so free, it was one of those moments. Of course, I had flown before, but there was something very different about it that time. Maybe it was the fact that he was holding me so close, gently, but tightly enough that I was assured not to fall. Or maybe it was the sense of feeling somewhat...needed. That was surely a new experience. But I believe that it was just being there, near him, knowing that he'd never let me go. At least, that's what I had thought...**
"Alright, we're almost there," Trunks said softly, "Close your eyes again," CJ hesitantly agreed. She had never truly liked surprises, but something about him...it made her excited to not know what was to happen. She was very fond of Trunks, and this worried her. Since he was a child, the only people she had truly connected with were her father, her friend Tyler, and Bra. She had loved all of them quite dearly, but it was a more 'family' kind of love. Her feelings for Trunks were different. It wasn't butterflies in her stomach, or the giggly kind of 'oh my goodness, he's my boyfriend!' middle school trash that many young girls came to at one point or another. No, it was deep feelings, a connection, maybe...love? No, she couldn't be in love with him. She couldn't get attached to anyone anymore. It would only end up hurting in the end.
"Ok, you ready?" he suddenly asked her. She snapped back to reality, putting her thoughts to rest for a while. "Alright..." she said, suspiciously. "Ok, open them!" he cheerfully exclaimed. CJ slowly opened one eye, then the next. She gasped. It was amazing. Before her eyes was a beautiful lake, surrounded by trees of all shapes and sizes. Tropical looking flowers bloomed everywhere, and the sky above was a slowly darkening blue. Not a cloud in sight. "What do you think?" he questioned. "It's so beautiful! But how...how did you ever find a place like this?" she asked. It had looked like a place her father had spoken of when she was young. 'I used to go there to think,' she remembered his saying. 'The flowers were breathtaking, the sky was cloudless, and the air was so clean.' She wondered if her father's 'thinking spot' was nearby.
"A friend told me about it," he stated. "Hey, I've got a great idea!" CJ looked up at him questioningly.
"You want to know?"
"Sure."
"You're positive?"
"Yes..." and as she said this, he pulled his arms from her, and she splashed into the lake below.
**When I hit the water, I remembered wondering, 'what the hell is he thinking?' but I soon figured out that it was one of his little tricks. It must have been payback for those water balloons...but I decided to make him suffer, nonetheless. I swam around a bit under the water, causing his to worry if I was alright. The water was to dark that from such a distance, he couldn't see me. He quickly came to the surface of the water, searching for me. This was when I made my move. I swam right below the surface and pulled him under with me.**
Under the water, Trunks twisted and turned, trying to find out what had caused him to fall in. He quickly came to realize that it must have been CJ, pulling him under. He smirked. So it was war again, was it? Two could lay at that game. His eyes darted back and forth, but to no avail. Just then, as luck would have it, the first glimmering light of the moon appeared, making the water glow before him. It was most helpful, for after a few moments, he saw a pair of feet, one missing a shoe, in the distance. He quietly swam over to them, seeing the rest of her slowly appear. She seemed to be looking for him to. He smirked once again, and grabbed her foot. This shocked her, causing her to head back to the surface, He quickly appeared next to her.
She was turned away from him, and he thought she may have been angry. But she slowly turned around, a large grin on her face. "Let's do that again sometime, ok?" she said. Trunks smiled and nodded. "So this was your great idea of how to dry of?" she asked, brushing her wet hair out of her eyes. "I suppose," he said, "but then again, I'm not the brightest when it comes to much of anything, so I may have been wrong..." CJ laughed. "I suppose you're not, but nevertheless, I'd like to look around. Is that ok?" Trunks nodded. "Alrighty!" she exclaimed, swimming towards the land. He followed her closely, making sure she wasn't up to no good.
**I'll always remember that day, watching her walk among the flowers, occasionally stopping to kneel down and take one, putting it into a slowly growing bouquet in her hand. She looked so calm, happy...beautiful. I remember once asking a few of my friends what they thought of her when I showed them a picture I had taken at her birthday. All I recieved were remarks such as: 'She's nowhere near as hot as your last girl' or 'She's not really THAT good looking...' My friends were very shallow, and I have to admit, before I met her, so was I. But forgetting all that, she really was beautiful. She was beautiful whenever she fell and I caught her, she was beautiful when she smiled...it took me a while to realize it, but I understood then and there, she was beautiful, inside and out.**
"It's getting pretty late," Trunks stated. "Think we should head home?" CJ looked overhead. The moon was out, and the stars were beginning to appear. "Just one second!" she called, dashing over to the lake and jumping in. Trunks looked quizzical. A few minutes passed, and Trunks began to worry. As he began considering jumping in after her, she appeared, paddling back to the shore. "What was that all about?" he questioned. She simply held out a shoe above her head. "Couldn't leave without my shoe!" He scratched his head. "I suppose not...well then, shall we?" CJ nodded and began dashed ahead, trying to get a running start to pick up some speed. "Uh, don't you kinda need my help?" She skidded to a halt. Of course. She 'couldn't fly,' could she? She turned around and grinned lopsidedly. "I guess I do!" she called, dashing back over to him. He blinked.
Trunks gently lifted her up, this time holding her somewhat 'wedding style' (you know, holding her by her legs and back...kinda hard to describe, but you get the picture), and they were off. They had to be quick, for he already knew he was going to get an earful if he didn't get home soon. About half an hour later, he was nearly home, due to traveling at near top speed. All of the sudden, CJ shivered him his arms. Trunks felt bad for all of the wind, but he couldn't help it. Fortunately, she had found a way to keep warm. She snuggled up against his chest, causing him to turn what believed to be at LEAST 'as red as a tomato, possibly more.' But he tried to forget about it as they reached the front of the Capsule Corp. building.
Walking though the front door, he immediately heard the familiar 'clomp clomp' of his mother running down the hall, ready to yell her brains out. But just as she entered the room and was about to begin the attack, she stopped herself. For there stood her son, a sleeping CJ in his arms, snuggled (I like that word too much) up to him. Trunks gave his mother the death glare as a large menacing grin spread across her face. He tried to ignore her little whispered comments as he climbed up the stairs. Walking down the hall towards the room that had been hers the previous night. He entered the room quietly and walked towards the bed. He swiftly laid her down and pulled up the sheets. Then, as soon as he was sure no one was watching, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and dashed off.
Little did he know, someone had been watching. He had dashed away so quickly that he didn't see her, but there she was, his little sister, standing behind the door. Grinning.

Oooh, Leggy, he's so sexy...
Goten: Hey, I'm sexy!
-looks at him- Well, you're more Gimli-ish
Goten: Hmph.
-Pan and Trunks are hiding in the back of the theater-
Pan: Ugh, this isn't working...
Trunks: Why are we doing this anyway?
Pan: So Kano's out of the picture and I can win your heart!
Trunks: -sighs- Whatever.
Pan: Submit any good ideas on how to get them together in a review! It's a life or death situation!
