Hey peoples! Dusty Here! So sorry I forgot to actually put anything here when I posted chapter 2 for the first time! I only just realized after I posted it! Anyway, I'm glad to see that people are actually reading this! 2 whole reviews so far! That probably sounds really, really pathetic to anyone looking at this… but oh well. I also can't believe i almost forgot the disclaimer… okay, so I'm kinda slack…
DISCLAIMER: If I owned DBZ would I be writing this? Didn't think so. Don't own nothing apart from Setorene.
There. Now you can't sue! Hahaha! (I'd better stop before someone thinks up some way to sue me for something else…)
Anywho, enjoy the chapter!
After receiving a harsh scolding from Bulma and finishing off his dinner, Vegeta headed up to his private bathroom (NB—Capsule Corps is MASSIVE) to have a shower because he had worked up quite a sweat during his and Setorene's training session. On the way up, he ran into his son.
As he was going up one of the flights of stairs, he saw Trunks standing at the top, about to come down.
"Father?" He asked Vegeta.
"Not now, brat, I'm going to take a shower." He replied, brushing past him and down the corridor towards the bathroom.
"Father, this has to stop. You can't have Setorene around like this against Mom's will everyday!" He said, ignoring his father's comment. Yes, trunks had known about Setorene coming over almost since the beginning. He was annoyed, but let it slide as he thought it was only once every so often that she was there, but he soon discovered that there was not a single day that she wasn't training with his father. He had grown increasingly opposed to her being there and had occasionally made just a small comment about it, but had never pressed the matter. This time however, he was fed up with it. He intended to make his father see his and his mother's point.
Vegeta turned back to face him.
"And what would you have me do, then? Not train with her at all? Then I would have no training partner! And since when do you decide what I should and should not do?" He replied harshly.
"Father! You don't need her to train; you have Me, Goten, even Goku! And besides, she's a bad influence! She is untrustworthy, manipulative, lying…" He was cut off as Vegeta suddenly pinned his neck to the wall behind him using his forearm.
"And what would you know of her! You never sat down and had a conversation with her and tried to find out what she is like! You sound just like your goddamn mother! And I could never train with anyone else because she is the only one who puts up a decent fight!" He yelled straight at his face. He threw Trunks to the floor and spoke in his usual volume, but in an absolutely deadly tone.
"If you EVER speak of her like that again, and I mean EVER, you will face severe consequences, boy." And with that, he stormed off, leaving Trunks sitting up on the floor, rubbing his neck where his father's arm had pinned him so tightly to the wall that he could barely breathe.
A figure groaned in her bed as one cruel ray of sunlight shone out from a gap in the curtains to hit her right in the eye. No matter where she turned, the light seemed to follow. In the end, she gave in and sat up in the bed, stretching, ready for what she knew would be quite an interesting day. She then heard a soft knock on her bedroom door.
"Setorene? Are you awake yet? If you are, your breakfast is just about ready." She heard Videl's voice from outside in the hallway.
"Yeah, sure Videl. I'll be right down, just give me a minute." She replied.
She could hear Vided leave, probably to wake Pan up. She stood up and wandered over to her fairly large closet, opened the doors and scanned its contents before grabbing the nearest outfit; dark, washed jeans and a black tank top. She then headed downstairs.
As soon as she bounded off the last step down into the kitchen, she was hit by the luscious smell of breakfast cooking.
"Oh, Videl! That smells so good!" She said quite sincerely.
"Thanks, Seto. I'm just serving it up now. Have a seat." She replied.
Seto sat obediently, waiting for breakfast to be served. Videl took one of the pans off the stove and began laying eggs, bacon and sausages neatly over a couple of slices of toast.
"So, looking forward to today?" She asked as she was working. The question took Setorene by surprise, but she remembers Vegeta's piece of advice; 'act as though we haven't seen each other in a while'.
"Oh, yeah, it feels like so long since I have seen everyone! It'll be great to meet up with them again!" She replied.
Pan then walked in, half asleep and still in her pajamas. She stumbled to the dinner table before sitting down and placing her head against her hands.
"Morning, honey." Videl said, trying to coax some sort of speech out of her.
"Mrng." Was all she managed.
"Pan, you need to wake up properly. Go and have a shower and get dressed while I fix you some brekkie. We'll leave once you're done." She said, hoping to at least get some reaction.
"Whatever." Pan mumbled as she trudged out of the kitchen, up the stairs and towards the bath room. Pan was definitely not as much of a morning person as Setorene or Videl, who were both now sitting down and eating their breakfast hungrily.
"Where's Gohan?" Setorene asked, it just dawning on her that Gohan wasn't there, eating with them as he usually was whenever she was home during the morning.
"He's gone to pick up some food to take to the reunion. He's going to meet us there. Speaking of the reunion, we had better hurry or we're going to be late!"
After rushing Pan along a little just to get her ready and arguing with her about breakfast being the most important meal of the day and therefore she had to eat it, Videl had all three of them out the door and on the way to the Capsule Corps mansion. They had decided not to take the car or plane as it would be easier and they wouldn't have to remember as much stuff when they came home. They shot off into the sky flew until they could see the huge set up in the Briefs family's back yard (Which was more like an oval, being capsule corps!) and began their descent.
