A buzzing noise was heard as Claire, entangled in white sheets, rolled onto
her side and groggily looked at the digital clock on her bedside table.
Wait, the alarm clock worked? She saw a note attached to the side and it
said in neatly typed Sayin: "Tada!"
Claire smiled and pressed the off alarm button. She got up and put on the same outfit that she had tried to put on yesterday: the blue, short, sleeveless, neckless dress and matching earrings and collar, all just about the color of her eyes. She then made her way downstairs, deciding to leave her hair down. She had always wanted to have a little time to her self in the morning, maybe an hour. The 3-4 hours alone in the gravity machine/spaceship was pushing it a little on the me time.'
She remembered the big oak tree outside and decided to go sit under it until the sun rose. As she made her way outside, she saw #16 sitting under the tree already, surrounded by a small flock of birds.
As she walked closer, the birds took notice of her and flew away. #16 looked up and saw Claire. He motioned for her to take a seat next to him, and she did, feeling the need to be quiet. Suddenly, #16 sang a piercing bird song, and some of the birds came straight back, others being wary of the new person. He stretched out his hand slowly to one of the birds, and it hopped onto his hand. He then moved his hand, with the bird still sitting on it, to Claire. "You can pet it, if you'd like to," he said.
Claire smiled, her eyes twinkling in childish delight, as she petted the bird softly with a few of her fingers, feeling the downy feathers beneath her fingertips. "It's so soft," Claire whispered as she stroked the bird.
#16 took her hand and held it near the bird's feet, making sure that she was as still as stone. He then put her hand against his, still holding her hand. The bird wavered for a sec, then popped onto Claire's hand. #16 put both of his hands down and had to smile at how amazed Claire looked. She put her hand next to her shoulder and the bird popped onto it.
#16 and Claire sat under the oak tree with the birds until the sky turned a beautiful shade of orange.
Trunks poked his head outside at 7 o'clock, after breakfast, of course, and saw Claire and #16 sitting under the oak tree with flocks of birds around them. He also saw where the bread had gone off to.
Trunks waved at Claire until she looked up and he said, "Time to train!"
She waved backed, smiled, and made an 'ok' sign as Trunks went back inside. She then turned to #16 and asked him, "So, you want to train with us?"
#16 threw one arm into the air quickly and all of the birds flew off. He silently stood up and offered his hand to Claire and helped her up. They then walked back.
As they walked back, Trunks watched them out of the window. "Maybe Chi-Chi was right. They are a pretty cute couple."
WAM!
Trunks held the back of his head where a large bump was forming and looked around for the source. The only person that he saw around was his father, who had the front half of his body in the refrigerator. Trunks asked, "What did you hit me for?"
Vegeta, his head still in the refrigerator, replied, "I didn't hit you."
Trunks gaped a little. "Yes you did!"
"Now, why would I hit you?" Vegeta asked with a touch of amusement.
Trunks replied bluntly, "Because you don't think that you sister should fall in love with a machine."
Vegeta pulled himself out of the refrigerator and turned to Trunks. "I never said that!"
Just then, the door opened and Claire walked in, followed by #16.
Vegeta grumbled as he the stuck his head back into the refrigerator, wondering what had happened to all of the bread.
Trunks grinned. "Common, Aunty C! Lets go!"
She smiled and leaned over and tussled his hair. "Why don't you start off with #16 while I change into my training clothes?"
Trunks nodded and took #16 by the hand and said, "Common, 16! Lets go!" Trunks blasted off, dragging #16 for a few steps before the android regained his balance and kept up with the speedy little kid.
Claire shook her head and walked upstairs to her room to change.
