Christmas Eve had come at last and everyone was making the final adjustments for the next day. Any last minute gift shopping was being done and final plan making was at hand. Trunks had slept in late due to the fact that he couldn't fall asleep the night before. His alarm clock started to go off. Trunks grumbled as he reached over to turn it off. " Shut up!" Trunks shouted as hit the snooze button. Trunks tried to turn over and go back to bed but it was no use. He was already up and once that happened it was nearly impossible to get him to go back to bed unless of course he got knocked out by his father. Trunks stretched out, yawning. He rubbed his eyes. He turned the attention to his desk. Trunks' blue eyes widened in shock when he noticed that the ball was missing. " AH! MOM!" He shouted.
Bulma snapped her head to Trunks' bedroom and ran up there. She busted the door open. " What's wrong Trunks!"
Trunks was running around his room panicking. " Where is that ball?"
" The ball you showed me last night?"
" Yeah that one… it's missing… I had it on my table before I went to bed… and now it's not there."
" Do you think it fell on the ground?"
A light bulb went off in his head. Trunks got on his hands and knees and looked around the floor. He started to look under his bed. A smile appeared on his face when he pulled the ball out. " Good… it's not lost…"
" You scared me young man." Bulma said sternly.
Trunks bowed his head. " Sorry mother…"
Bulma sighed. " It's alright dear…. Just hurry you and come down stairs for lunch."
Trunks eyes bugged out. " LUNCH!"
" Yes Trunks dear… its already way into the afternoon… You slept in."
" AH!" Trunks jumped off the floor and ran passed him mom to the kitchen.
Bulma sighed as she walked out to the kitchen. Trunks was scarfing down the food like there wasn't going to be a tomorrow. Mirai Trunks walked in a few moments later. " Afternoon everyone."
Bulma looked over at her elder son. " Welcome back… Have a good nap?"
" Yeah I did… Sorry I worried you…"
" All you guys seem to like to scare me half to death…"
" Well sorry about that… anyway… we have a guest."
" A guest?" Bulma asked. " We weren't expecting…"
Bulma didn't get a chance to finish her sentence. Gohan walked in from behind the wall. " Hello Bulma… been a while hasn't it."
Bulma smiled. " Hello Gohan… I was wondering when I would see you again."
" I came over to have a little visit… and have a little talk with Trunks.."
Trunks looked up at Gohan. " Been a while…" He cleared his throat and got up. " I'll be out with Gohan for a while."
" Be careful honey."
" Don't worry I will."
Gohan and Trunks walked out. " So Trunks… where have you been lately? I haven't see much of you for the past few days… and neither has Goten. He was worried sick about you."
Trunks looked down. " I guess I should have called him…"
" So.. what's the deal?"
" I was out shopping for him."
Gohan smiled. " I thought as much."
Trunks looked at Gohan. " You mean you knew?"
" I had a hunch… but I wasn't completely sure."
" Do you think Goten knows?" Trunks asked.
" I highly doubt it Trunks… but you never know." Gohan turned back to look at him. " So what did you get my little brother anyway?"
" Well I got him a bunch of stuff… I got him a video game system… a few games to go with it… a picture frame with us in it and a tape of our funniest moments… and…" Trunks put his hand in his pocket. " This little gem." He pulled out the ball. Trunks handed it to Gohan to look at.
Gohan took it in hand and looked at it very carefully. He moved it around and doing so made the ball change colors. His eyes sparkled from its amazing abilities. " This is the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life Trunks…. Where did you get it?"
" I found it when I was on my way home… I don't know how it got there but when I looked at it… I just knew. I just knew that Goten would like it…"
Gohan smiled. " I knew I was right about you."
Trunks cocked his head. " What do you mean Gohan?"
" When I found out that you were doing something for my brother… I knew you would do anything to make him happy… I can tell you picked this up just for him…"
Trunks nodded. " I thought it fit Goten's personality."
" Well I can say it does pretty well…"
Trunks laughed. " Besides I was going to get him a pet… but I thought that would be too much of a problem so I didn't."
Gohan laughed. " I remember the time I had a pet… mom was fuming. But luckily I had dad to help me out." Gohan looked at his watch. " Oh geez… I'm late to do something…. See ya later Trunks."
Trunks waved Gohan goodbye as he ran off. Gohan ran as fast as he could to the school. He was out of breath by the time he got there.
Videl was standing in front of the school with her hands crossed and her foot going up and down. She was clearly in a bad mood. Gohan laughed nervously as he approached. " Sorry I'm late… I had to go see a friend of mine…"
" So you think you are too good for me uh… Mister Saiyaman!"
" No.. no… it's not like that…. Videl…. I will… uh…"
" Just spit it out."
Gohan smiled as he went into his back pocket and pulled out a little wrapped present. " This is for you Videl."
Videl's eyes started to sparkle from the surprise. " This is for me? You actually got me something?"
" You are my friend Videl…"
Videl smiled as she took the box in hand. " Do you want me to open it now?"
" If you want…"
Videl's smile widened as he ripped the present open. The box turned out to be black. Videl's mind was racing. ' Could this be a…' Videl slowly opened the box and saw a ring inside of it. Tears of happiness started to fall from her eyes. " Oh Gohan… it's beautiful…."
Gohan smiled and approached Videl even more. Right above them was missle toe. Gohan took the ring from the box and got down on one knee.
" Videl Satan…. Will you marry me?"
Videl broke down in tears. " Oh Gohan…. Of course I'll marry you…."
Gohan smiled as he put the ring on her finger and gave her a kiss, a very romantic kiss.
When Videl pulled back she looked at the ring again and then back at Gohan. " Gohan… this is the most wonderful Christmas present ever."
" I'm glad you like it Videl.."
Son Residence-
Trunks walked over to the Son house with loads of presents in hand. He rang the door bell with his free hand. " I'll get it…" Goten's voice came from the inside. He opened it. " Hello?"
" Hey Goten." Trunks said from behind all the presents.
Goten smiled. " Hey Trunks… come on in…"
Trunks came in. Goten shut the door behind him. Chi-chi came out from the kitchen. " Oh hello Trunks… who are all those presents for?"
" Oh these… they are for Goten…"
" For me? All those are mine?" Goten asked with surprise in his voice.
Trunks put them down and smiled. " Yep Goten… they are all yours…"
Goten smiled and gave his friend a little hug. " Thanks a lot!"
Trunks pulled back. " Welcome… but tomorrow I will give you something very special…."
Goten's smile widened. " Thank you so much Trunks… I can't wait to see it…"
" I know you will Goten…"
" Trunks you made my day… thank you so much."
" Don't mention it… what kind of friend would I be if I didn't get you anything…"
Goten laughed. " Well thanks again… I'll see you tomorrow…"
Trunks nodded. " Later Goten." Trunks slowly walked away from the Son house. ' And if you like those presents Goten… you will like my last present the most… I promise…'
