AN: Ok I've only just put up the last chapter but I couldn't wait to write this one! Its sooo cool! ;) Tell me what you think!

Last time on Faithful Love:

"I thought this might happen." Videl said, still grinning widely, she stopped when she saw Faith scowling at her "Well you spend so much time with him, it was bound to happen."

"What was bound to happen?" Faith asked questioningly.

Videl's grin returned and she said happily "You're falling in love with Trunks!"

Chapter 3 – Party time

"W-what?" Faith said slowly, a shocked look on her face.

Videl shrugged and stood up, stretching "You'll see." She said and walked back towards the house. Faith watched her and thought about what Videl had just said. She frowned stubbornly. Nah, she's wrong! What does she know about love anyway? Ok so there's Gohan but come on, he doesn't count!

She stood up and, dusting herself off, headed back towards the house. I'll show her! It's all in her mind. Faith flew into the air and went through a window on the second floor that entered into her room. She flouted over and flopped down onto her bed.

"I'll show her…" She mumbled to herself and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Over the course of the week Faith and Trunks acted just the same around each other as they always did. Both were very aware of what had happened but neither wanted to bring it up for fear of damaging their friendship. Even through they tried to act the same as they always did something was missing.

It was the end of Tuesday and Trunks and Faith walked down the corridors in the same uneasy silence that had plagued them all day. Faith stopped suddenly, looking down at her feet, clutching a purple binder to her chest, her long hair was loose and fell about her face like a curtain, hiding her face from view. Trunks turned around and looked at her.

"What's wrong?" Trunks tilted his head to one side.

"Erm…well I…. erm….I think I'll just…head straight home today." She said, her face still covered by ebony hair.

"Oh," Trunks said, unable to hide the pain in his voice. They had always gone back to Capsule corp. after school, ever since kindergarten. It was the one thing they always did, no matter what. If one of them were sick they would wait at Capsule corp. for the other to arrive, just so as not to break the ritual. "Ok…I guess."

Faith continued to look at her feet as she said "Ok. See you tomorrow?" Without waiting for a reply she turned on her heel and ran towards the roof's exit since they had planned on going out via the main door.

When Faith reached the roof the closed to the door behind her and leaned against it with a sigh. Ok, breathe Faith, breathe. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL WAS THAT? Faith sighed and took to the skies back towards Mt. Paouz. (AN: How the hell do you spell it?!)

For the rest on the week it was like this. Faith went home after school and that same uneasy silence continued to plague them. But finally it was over and Faith knew that she only had one more thing to worry about. Saturday and her 17 birthday party.

BLEEP

Faith rolled over in bed and moaned slightly.

BLEEP

She moaned again and pulled the covers over her head.

BLEEP

She rolled over again, not taking the covers off of her head.

BLEEP

She groaned Once more and I swear to kami I'll…

BLEEP

Oh that's it! Faith pulled her arm out from under the covers and took hold of the alarm clock on her bedside table. She flung it through the air and…

BLE…. The clock smashed against the wall mid bleep. Faith smiled contently, her eyes still closed and pulled her hand back under the covers. She was just falling back to sleep when….

"Wake up!" The sound made Faiths eyes snap open and she bolted upright in bed. She looked around until she caught sight of Pan standing at the door, hands on hips, a huge grin spread across her face. Faith moaned and fell backwards, simultaneously pulling the covers back over her head and turning her back to her niece.

Pan pouted and went over and pulled the covers right of Faith who moaned and curled up into a ball, her hair flowed over her back, since she hadn't moved it out of the way when she fell back down again so she was laying on top of it. Her I 3 NY shirt barely covering her butt.

Pan frowned before her eyes lit up wickedly, a smirk crossing her features that Vegita would have been proud of. She leaped up into the air and landed on the bed next to Faith who merely moaned again and curled up tighter. Pan frowned. Then commenced jumping up and down on Faiths bed to no avail.

After 5 minuets she gave up and sat on the end of the bed, head in her hands. Just then Goku ran past the door, then backed up slightly so he was standing in Faith's doorway.

"Hay Faith get up! BIRTHDAY BREAKFAST!!!!" He yelled before rushing off downstairs. Faith's eyes snapped oven. She leaped out of bed and ran out the door yelling

"Dad wait up! That's MY birthday breakfast!" Pan stared after her.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Then she leaped up and ran after the two, the thought of the feast taking over her brain.

"Faith were gonna go! We'll see you over at Capsule corp.!" Chi-chi yelled up the stairs. She, Goku, Gohan, Videl and Pan were all stood at the bottom of the stairs, dressed ready for the party. It was about 11 and Faith still wasn't ready. Faith appeared at the top of the stairs, a towel wrapped around her body whilst she ran a brush though her long, wet hair.

"K mom! I won't be long, promise!" She gave her mother an innocent smile and rushed back to her room. She heard her family leave and sighed slightly. She'd been dreading this. Now not only would she have to deal with everyone fussing over her, but to top it all off she and Trunks were…she didn't even know what the hell it was. She sighed and walked over to her closet.

Half an hour later she stood looking at her reflection in the mirror, hands on hips. She had a pale blue and black striped top which had an oversized neck, which hung idly over her shoulders; along with a silky black wrap-around skirt that stopped above her knee, along with a pair of flat light brown boots. She wore her hair in a long plait over her shoulder, a blue flower was shoved into the bobble. Mum's gonna kill me for nicking a flower off her fave plant but hay, its my birthday! She smiled slightly at her appearance then grabbed her long black coat that she pulled on as she jumped out of the window and headed full speed for Capsule city.

Trunks leaned against the rail and sighed. God he was bored. They were all out in the garden…well it was more of a park really but whatever. Trunks looked around the room. Streamers where hung up along the walls and from every available tree. Animals ran around the z fighters and their families as they talked idly. Where the hell was Faith. It this goes on much longer I'll end up having to talk to Hurcule! Trunks shuddered at the thought then stopped, sensing Faith landing outside. He smiled and wandered off to greet her.

Faith wandered into the entrance of Capsule corp. She pulled off her coat and handed it onto one of the robot that stood near to the reception desk who then gave a slight bow before heading through the door just at the same time as Trunks wandered through, hands thrust into his pockets.

I'm not gonna get through the day with Trunks and me being on…weird terms. Forget that! Faith thought to herself, Trunks thinking pretty much the same thing.

"Thank Kami you're her!" Trunks said wandering up to Faith.

"That bad huh?" Faith said, giving him a sympathetic smile.

"Umhum. Hurcules been trying to make conversation with me for nearly an hour!" Ok so it wasn't the exact truth but he had been bugging him since he arrived.

The two headed through towards the garden/park thingy, both glad things were back to normal.

The second the two came through the door they were deafened by an almighty cheer. Faith cringed slightly before smiling at the crowd that was assembled in the room. At least Bulma didn't invite any of those idiots from school. Well better get this over with.

"Hay guys. Sorry I'm late."

Faith leaned back on the railing. She'd been here for about an hour but somehow it felt longer. She turned her head to the side. Trunks was leaned forward on the rail, his arms folded on the cold metal he was watching Gohan trying to make conversation with Vegita, who looked like he would rather be anywhere but where he was now.

"I wonder what would happen if we fused you're dad with Gohan." Faith said as she saw what Trunks was staring at. She and Trunks looked at each other for a moment before…

"EEWW GOHAN IN SPANDEX!" They both cried before bursting into fits of laughter.

Meanwhile Chi-chi, Videl and Bulma were all sat under a shady tree. They were watching Trunks and Faith as they fell about laughing, Faith leaning on Trunks for support before both fell to the ground clutching their sides.

"Oh don't they just look so cute together?" Chi-chi said, clutching her hands together, hearts in her eyes.

"They would make such a cute couple." Bulma said with a sigh

"Yeah, but you trying telling Faith that." Videl said, nodding her head. Bulma and Chi-chi looked at Videl, then each other and raised and eye brow.

Half an hour later Bulma walked over to the now composed demi-saiyans who were talking happily. Faith and Trunks looked up upon seeing Bulma

"Hay Bulma, what's up?" Faith asked. Bulma grinned and grabbed her arm, starting to pull her towards the middle of the room where the rest of the Z fighters were. "Whoa!" Faith cried as Bulma gave her a yank.

"Come on we've got a little prezzie for yaz!" Bulma said with a grin. Faith frowned at Bulma

"But I said..."

"No presents I know, I know but hay! We had to get you something!" She said as she pulled Faith along.

"Trunks, help me!" She mouthed at her friend who merely grinned and started shoving her from behind.

"No can do." He mouthed back. Faith eventually gave up, letting the two push her along. They came to a holt in the middle of the Z fighters and Faith blinked as she looked around at them as they smiled at her.

"Ok so…. what?" She said, looking around, confused. Gohan came forward so he was standing in front of her, looking down slightly.

"Well we knew you didn't want a fuss and all that but…well it is you're birthday so we had to get you something. So we all figured we should get you something that even you couldn't say no to." He said with a smile. Putting his hands out in front of him he revealed a simple wooden box, about as wide and long as a sheet of A4 paper and the depth of a tissue box.

Faith slowly reached out to it with one hand and placed her hand on top of the golden star in the middle of it, the only decoration on the whole thing. She reached up her other hand and took it from her brother's hands. She looked down at the box. It was simple yet beautiful; just the way she liked to world.

"Well open it." Bra said, jumping up and down slightly on her toes in anticipation. Faith moved the box so she was holding it in one hand and with the other she slowly lifted the lid of the box.

She was momentarily blinded as a bright orange hued light poured out of the box. When she opened her eyes she gasped. Seven shining balls lay inside the box. Each orange ball held a different number of red stars one, two, three, four, five, six and seven. The dragonballs.

"Do you like them?" Gohan said. Faith had to practically tear her eyes away from the beauty that she held in her hands. Even since she was a little girl she had been fascinated with the mystical balls. She hadn't seen them since after Majin Buu but now they were here again, in her hands. Her eyes shone at the thought. She flung her arms around her elder brother, still holding the box that held the dragonballs…her dragonballs.

"Their beautiful. This is the greatest present in the world. Thank you." She said as she and her brother held their warm embrace.

"Hay we helped too!" Yamcha complained, folding his arms across his chest. Faith smiled slyly as she let go of Gohan. She walked over to Yamcha and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She giggled as he turned deep red, the others laughing with her.

"Thanks. All of you." She said, smiling at her friends as they grinned back at her.

"Oh wait I nearly forgot. Trunks has a gift for you as well…erm where is Trunks?" Bulma said, looking around. Faith could feel his ki down in the main lab.

"Don't worry, I'll go find him!" Faith said as she swept of towards the door "Hay hang onto these for me bro." She said passing the box of dragonballs to Gohan on her way out.

Faith ran down corridor after corridor until she came to a large door with

'Keep Out.

Lab 001.

Enter At Own Risk!'

Written on it in bold red letters. The doors slid open as she walked threw. She was in a large room with electronics and unfinished technology from wall to wall. She looked around the room until she saw Trunks. He was on his knees searching under a desk for something and obviously hadn't notice her coming in.

"Got it!" He cried jumping up…well trying to at least. "Ooff!" He moaned, rubbing his head where he'd hit it on the desk. He clambered to his feet and turned around coming face o face with Faith who was trying not to laugh. He grinned and rubbed the back of his head. "Oh right! I almost forgot." He said pulling a thin blue box out of his pocket where he had stuffed it after retrieving it from under the desk. "I made it myself…hope you like it." He opened the box and inside lay a simple golden bracelet with seven tiny charms, each a mini replica of one of the seven dragonballs.

Faith's eyes grew and she held out her hand to touch it. Trunks took it out of the box and tied it around her wrist. She looked down at the bracelet. It fit her wrist perfectly, hanging off her just right so that it moved but couldn't fall off. The dragonballs were so intricate it was as though the real dragonballs had been shrunk down and made into charms.

"They glow when each of the corresponding dragonballs is within range." Trunks said, watching as Faith admired the way the light caught the bracelet, making it shine and glisten.

"Trunks…. its…..gorgeous! I love it!" She said, wrapping her arms around Trunks neck and hugging him tight. He placed his arms around her waist and held her close to him. Trunks felt warm against her body and she found herself lost in pure bliss. Slowly they pulled away but her hand remained around his neck and his about her waist.

Faith moved her eyes so she was looking into his, those brilliant blue pools seemed to draw her in. So soft…I wonder if his lips are soft? Faith heard herself thinking. Last time she had thought that she had scolded herself but now…. now they seemed right. She wanted for him to never let go, for them to stay there, looking into each others eyes for all eternity. Slowly the gap between them began to close in until one slight movement and their lips would be touching. Faith couldn't stand it anymore, she couldn't control her body, as if her logical brain had flouted away and she was left here… in Trunks' arms.

Their lip meet and Faith felt nothing else. Nothing else mattered. At that moment there was only her and Trunks, nothing else. Her hand moved up and ran through his silky lavender hair. Her heart skipped a beat as his hand moved down, tucking itself under her shirt, resting against her bare back. His lips were soft, softer than his eyes, softer than anything she had ever felt. She was in heaven… no it was beyond heaven, beyond anything she had ever thought possible.

But moments will come and go as they please and they slowly broke apart. Faith eyes flickered open and she backed hurriedly out of Trunks arms. Her rational mind had come back down to earth and it was furious. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT! HOW COULD YOU?! It yelled at her. Faith shook her head slightly.

"Trunks…I…. I'm sorry." She said and ran from the room. She faintly heard him calling her name but she didn't register it. She had just kissed her best friend and she'd enjoyed it. What was more she had proved Videl right. She was falling for him. She felt so weak and she hated that. She stopped just before the doors that lead back into the party. If it was so wrong why was it so good? Why did I enjoy it so much?

Next time on Faithful love: Trunks and Faith need to talk but neither can quite pull up the nerve to do it.

AN: Woah that was a long one! I'm so proud! Well I hope you all enjoyed it and don't forget to review!

PS A big thanks to Blood-Red Amber for her fab reviews!
