"Trunks!" Trunks looked up from where he was training and smiled. Kiwi stood a few feet away from the saiyan smiling nervously at him. Wiping the sweat off his face he said, "What's up?" Kiwi blushed becomingly and said, "I wanted to know if we had any plans tonight. It is our last day here you know." Trunks thought for a moment before saying, "I think mom was planning to throw us a going away party; why?" Kiwi shrugged slightly and said, "I need to talk with you before we left back to the future but…"
Trunks looked at her and asked, "If you want we could go out before the party. That way we could have some privacy. What do you say?" Kiwi smiled brightly and said, "Fine by me! I'll be ready by 6 alright?" she ran back into the house.
It was nearly 6 o'clock and Trunks was sitting on the couch nervously. This was his chance to ask her. How would he do it? Kiwi, I've been in love with you for a long time, will you marry me? No that was too…normal. Or how about, Kiwi if you don't marry the earth is doomed. Trunks turned red at the thought of saying that. Knowing her, she'd clobber him over the head.
At that moment Apple-blossom and Bulma came bounding down the stairs. In a serious voice Apple-blossom said, "May I present, Kiwi Briefs!" Trunks leapt to his feet and watched in rapture as Kiwi descended the stairs. She wore a white strapless shirt and a black mini skirt. Her hair was lightly curled and she had on no makeup. She was… beautiful.
Trunks looked hot. Today was the first time in a long time that Trunks didn't wear a training gi. He was clad in jeans and dress shirt. Kiwi was slightly surprised to see the pleased look in his eyes. Bulma waited till they got to the front door and said, "Think of me as your fairy godmother. If your not back by midnight for this party I'll be very upset." Trunks rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, you may possibly be more of a drama queen than Kiwi. Don't worry we'll be back soon."
Trunks took Kiwi to a quite little restaurant just outside of West City. Once they were seated Trunks said, "So…what did you want to talk to me about?" Kiwi fiddled slightly with her fork and said nervously, "Well…the thing is…Trunks why don't you say something first. I cant say just yet." Trunks gave her a puzzled look but said, "A-alright…Kiwi I'm going to ask you a serious question."
Kiwi nodded and said, "Alright. Ask away." Trunks took a deep and asked, "Kiwi…will you…" his voice trailed off when a waiter appeared. When the man finally took their orders and left Kiwi said softly, "I think I'm ready Trunks." Trunks said mystified, "ready for what?" Kiwi shut her eyes and said, "I'm ready…I'm ready to tell you, I love you. I love you Trunks. Ever since we got here I've slowly been realizing the true depth of my feelings towards you. I know you might not feel the same but I wanted to let you know."
Trunks stared at her with wide eyes. She loved him? Kiwi frowned at him. "Trunks, I just said I love you. Have you no comments?" Trunks took a deep breath and blurted out, "Kiwi, will you marry me!" Kiwi's mouth dropped. After a stunned moment of silence Kiwi managed to say, "Trunks I hope you did not just ask that because you think I'm joking." Trunks shook his head furiously and tore the small box out of his pocket. "No Kiwi, I'm dead serious! I love you! I have been struggling all day trying to figure out a way to convince you to marry me. Here!"
He took a small gold band, with thirteen diamonds on top, out of the box before slipping it onto her ring finger. Kiwi smiled happily and whispered, "Yes Trunks. Yes I will marry you…"
The next morning around nine Kiwi, Trunks, Apple-blossom, and Apollo were standing next to their respective T.M. Bulma and Chichi were both crying hysterically. Kiwi hugged Bulma and said, "don't worry mom! After we settle things in the future we'll make sure to visit!" Kiwi quickly said goodbye to the others before resting her eyes on the last person. Gohan. The saiyan had been forced to put on a suit but Kiwi thought he looked rakishly handsome.
"Well Gohan, I guess this is goodbye." The saiyan nodded and swallowed hard and said, "Yeah I suppose it is." Kiwi's eyes filled with tears and she threw her arms around the young boy. "Oh Gohan!" I'm going to miss you so much! But don't despair! I'll be back soon! And when I'm back I'm sure it will be to meet your future girlfriend." Gohan hugged her back tightly. "I'll miss you Kiwi."
When the goodbyes were finally finished Trunks helped Kiwi into the T.M. As the machine started up Kiwi cast one last glance at the people she had come to love…
