PWA: Um . . . sorry it's late. I really don't have a good excuse other then I'm depressed and haven't had the energy. So just be happy that I actually got it out.

Vegeta: Angel does not own DBZ she does however own the characters not seen in the anime.

PWA: Enjoy the chapter and review. Please no flames.

Trouble for Two

Chapter 3. The Lie

The steady beeping of a busy phone was heard once more as Trunks hung up the phone again. He'd been trying ever since his father told him he was done with his training for the day. "Why do girls always have to spend so much time on the phone?!"

"So yeah, the real reason why I called you, Jack, was to ask you if you could drive me to and from school from now on?" Stef finally asked. She had been talking to him for an hour.

"Sure I'd be glad to. Say I've been meaning to ask you. I know you just broke up with your boyfriend and everything so I'll understand if you say no." Jack said pretending to be hesitant.

"Come on Jack just ask." Stef said getting a little bored. She really had to get off and go to dinner.

"Would you like to go out with me sometime?" Jack said shyly but was smirking on his end.

"Oh gosh, I don't know." Stef said really shocked. 'I just broke up with Trunks this afternoon. I never even gave him a chance to explain. He knows I have temper. He's probably been trying to call me since he got home. Well I'll say yes and see Trunks' reaction. If he flips out . . . I'll know he loves me.' "Yeah sure, Jack, that would be cool." Steffany said trying to sound real excited.

Jackpot! Jack thought and was screaming inside. "Cool. Ya know I saw Trunks with my sister Ambyr again."

"Really?" Stef asked now saddened again.

"Yeah, I think they're going out." Jack's plan was now in full blown motion.

"Really?" Stef said disappointed. She had truly thought it was all a mistake and that Trunks really loved her.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow Babe." Jack said with a smile.

"Yeah, bye." Stef hung up the phone hard. 'I REALLY hate it when guys call me babe! Stef felt the tears returning to her eyes. I guess Trunks really doesn't love me. That jerk! I'll kill him!' Stef then stormed downstairs for supper.

"Bra, sweetie. Will you get your dad for supper?" Bulma asked her daughter.

"Ok, mommy." Bra ran to the gravity chamber and banged on the door.

"Yes? What do you want?" Vegeta's gruff voice came.

"Daddy, supper's ready!" Bra said. The door opened and Vegeta stepped out. "Daddy will you give me a piggy back ride? Pwease!" Bra did her best sad puppy dog look that Vegeta could never resist.

"Fine, but you have to promise to eat all your meat today." Vegeta said sternly but with love.

"Yay!" Bra jumped on his back and the headed for the dining room.

"Any luck?" Bulma asked as she poked her head in Trunks' room to tell him dinners ready.

Trunks shook his head. "The line's been busy for an hour and a half!" Trunks sighed.

"Well you can try again after you're done with your homework." Bulma said.

"Yes ma'am." Trunks said depressed.

"Dinner's ready." Bulma said before leaving.

Trunks brightened a little. 'Well at least something good came'.

Trunks had the phone in hand and was dialing the familiar number.

"Hello?" A child's voice came.

"Hey, Leash, what's up?" Trunks said cheerfully. Leash, Stef's five year old cousin, was like his little buddy. She always looked up to him.

"Not much Trunksy. But Stefy told me if you called to tell you she never wanted to talk to you again. Why?" The curious five year old asked.

Trunks sighed. "We had a fight."

"'Bout what?" Leash asked another question.

"Leash . . ." Trunks groaned. "You asked to many questions. Just... just tell Stef I'm really, really, really sorry and I would like to talk to her and apologize. Can you do that for me Leash?"

Leash nodded. "Yup! Bye Trunksy!" Leash then hung up the phone.

Trunks sweat dropped. 'I meant for her to put Stef on the phone.' Trunks said. "I guess I'll have to talk to her tomorrow."

"Thanks Leash." Stef said.

"Yup!" Leash then skipped out of the room.

'The nerve of him! He thinks he can just say he's sorry and get me back. What about Ambyr? But maybe . . . maybe he really is sorry. Maybe Trunks was telling the truth and Jack was lying. Mmm I'll test him tomorrow.' Stef thought then rubbed her hands together and put on an almost Vegeta-like smirk.

PWA: And now for the one review. Thanks Crazed fanatic anime fan! Love ya!

Vegeta: 'Well at least I didn't have to do the reviews today.'

PWA: Aw, poor Veggie didn't get to do the reviews!

Vegeta: -- It's alright.

PWA: You can do the 'come back for the next chapter' thing.

Vegeta: Gee thanks. Review or I'll shoot you down! Angel's been depressed and I'm sure a few reviews will make her happy. So review and come back for the next chapter.

PWA:

Luv Alwayz
