Chapter 6
"I refuse."
"Oh, come on Amara! Please? It will be a lot of fun."
Amara shook her head. "I refuse to go to the mall with you. I hate the mall."
Michelle and Hotaru weren't doing a very good job of hiding their amusement. Serena was using her best pleading faces on Amara and she was close to the breaking point as it was. Bulma, ChiChi, Bra, and Marron, who had never witnessed this before, were rolling around with laughter.
"Amara," Serena whined. "Please? It won't be any fun without you."
Once again, Serena received the shake of the head.
"You can drive one of the cars." Bulma was about to protest, but Amara shook her head no. At this, Serena was surprised. True, it did take Amara longer to shake her head, but for her to say no to driving? That was unheard of.
How else was she going to get her to go...? An idea popped into her head. They may not like it, but they won't be too mad. Well, they won't be too mad if she makes this too quick for them to refuse.
"I'll make Trunks and Goten go."
A smile formed Amara's face. "Is that so?"
Serena nodded excitedly.
"Ten minutes. That's all you have and if you don't have them here by that time, the deal's off."
Serena rushed off. 'Now where are they?' she asked her self. She passed the Gravity Machine and smiled as she heard several yells. She opened the door and sure enough, Trunks and Goten was in there along with Vegeta and her father. Serena went in, grabbed Trunks and Goten's wrists and dragged them, protesting, to the front of the house. She stopped triumphantly in front of Amara.
Amara checked her watch and groaned. "Five minutes."
Serena jumped up and down and cheered. Michelle, Hotaru, ChiChi, Bulma, Bra, Marron, and 18 laughed.
"What's going on?" Goten asked. The two guys had powered down before reaching the front of the house.
"Get in the car," Serena said happily.
"But we have training!" Trunks protested.
Serena pushed them into the car, and got in herself. "You guys will love this. It will be so fun. Won't it Amara?" Serena asked as Amara and Michelle got in the front seat. The others were riding in another car with Bulma
"It will now," she said, pulling out of the driveway.
"And were are we going?" Trunks asked.
"Shopping," Serena said.
"Shopping?!" Goten and Trunks yelled.
"Why do we have to go?" Goten protested. "I hate shopping."
Smiling, Serena replied, "It's the only way I could get Amara to go. Besides, we need a few extra hands."
The two looked at her as if she had grown an extra head. "You could have asked," Goten said grumpily.
"No I couldn't have," Serena said. "You never would have agreed. I think I know my own brother and best friend."
Serena giggled as girls eyed Amara, Goten and Trunks. "I think you three will have some stalkers after this."
Trunks and Goten turned slightly pink which made many girls giggle and point. Goten tugged at his suit jacket. "I still don't know how we let you talk us into this."
"Persuasion is one of my many qualities."
"And hypnotism," Amara grumbled.
Serena smiled. "Come on! It's not that bad. You all look handsome."
Someone tapped Serena on her shoulder. Serena turned around and two girls stood behind her. "Sorry to interrupt, but we thought you should know," one said.
"Know what?" Serena asked.
"Your boyfriend," the other girl said, pointing at Trunks," would look much better with his hair short."
Serena and Trunks blushed. "Thanks, I guess..." Serena murmured.
"No problem," the first one said.
"Have a great time! Hope we see you later," the second one said as they left.
Serena glanced at Trunks' hair and then caught sight of a beauty salon.
"You know, I think they are right. That hair is a bit too long."
She grabbed Trunks' hand and they entered the place together. A woman walked up to them.
"May I help you?" She asked.
Serena nodded. "Trunks needs a hair cut. Above his ears would be nice."
"I have to agree," the lady said. "It's way too long."
Serena smirked. "So everyone except us noticed."
Serena watched as Trunks got his haircut. It didn't take long and once finished, his hair did look better.
"One for Serena also. Lose the buns and cut it to about mid back."
Serena was pulled out of her trance with a start. "Excuse me?"
Trunks patted her on the back. "Don't worry about it! It won't be that bad."
"I am not getting my hair cut."
"Don't be so mad. Look at what you've been doing to Goten, Amara, and me. And now you've given me a haircut. It's pay back time."
"Trunks Briefs, if you think-"Serena was cut off by an explosion just outside of the hair salon. "What was that?"
"I don't know," Trunks said. They were both serious now. "We better go check it out."
Serena nodded in agreement. Serena was horrified by what she saw. Goten, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Saturn, and Sailor Neptune were fighting the Inner Scouts. If they were here, then Darien had to be here, too.
Just as that thought hit her, so did Darien's fist making her fly sideways into a wall.
"Damn," Serena said, getting up and cradling her arm. How did he get here? She thought.
"I refuse."
"Oh, come on Amara! Please? It will be a lot of fun."
Amara shook her head. "I refuse to go to the mall with you. I hate the mall."
