Chapter 7
When Trunks got home that night, Chibi Trunks and Annie were waiting for him.
"So how did it go?" Annie asked. They both looked at him expectantly.
"Shouldn't you be in bed?" Trunks asked Annie, folding his arms. Annie put on a innocent face.
"Who, me?"
"Who else am I talking to?"
"Him maybe," she said pointing to her accomplice. "He let me stay up."
"Oh no, don't blame this on me. I told you to go to bed, but would you listen, nooo. You told me that you were going to stay up whether I said no or not."
"I'm just a little girl, you could have made me go to bed you know."
"Just so you could tell mom that I…"
At this point Trunks was done with listening to them argue. He picked up Annie by the waist and carried her to bed.
"Hey wait! You didn't tell me what happened to- oh forget it. I find out tomorrow anyway," he said turning back to his movie (I wonder what kind of movie it would be? ^_^).
********************
Trunks brought Annie up to her room. He set her on the bed and helped her get into her pajamas. "So how did it go?"
"It went well."
"That's it. Nothing else?"
"What more were you expecting?"
"Did she look pretty? Well of course she did. Usagi always looks pretty," She said answering herself. "What did she have on?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"A relevant one. Now answer." When he didn't she continued. "I bet it was a white dress. She would look so pretty in one. Well am I right?"
"Did you and Chibi Trunk hire a Private detective again?"
"Nope. We learned our lesson from the last one. I've never seen Gohan so upset in my life after we did that to him."
"He had good reason."
"We're straying off the subject. So was it?"
"Yes, it was."
"And did she look nice. To you I mean."
"Why?"
"Because you don't really comment on women. To you they're all 'pretty'."
"Yes she did." he said after a while.
"Did you two have a nice time," she asked yawning.
"Your tired. Why don't I finish telling you tomorrow?"
"No, just on more question after this, please. I promise I'll go to bed right after that."
"Ok. We did have a nice time."
"Will you two go out again?"
"That depends."
"On what?"
"That's two questions. No more, go to sleep now."
"Oh alright. Goodnight daddy," Annie said getting into bed.
"Good night, Annie." he said going out the door
"Dad?"
"What?"
"I just don't want you to be lonely anymore, ok?"
Trunks was a little surprised at that comment. He was about to ask he about it when he saw that she was out cold. He quietly closed the door.
******************
Over the next month or so Usagi and Trunks became really good friends. The Briefs family and friends were interested in who she was.
*****Flashback*****
All the Z fighters were having a little reunion as they all hadn't been together in over 4 years. They were at Goku's house because it was close to the lake. Usagi and Chibi Usa were gone for the weekend to watch Haruka race.
Trunks, Yamcha, Gohan and Krillin were currently on a hill overlooking the lake, watching Annie, Bra and Pan play in the water.
"Hey Trunks, I heard something very interesting," Gohan started.
"What?" Trunks said wearily. He just knew from his tone of voice that he wasn't going to like the next part.
"Bulma told me you have a girlfriend. Is it true?" he asked.
"She's not my girlfriend."
"Right so how come you two see each other almost everyday?" Gohan persisted.
"We're good friends, nothing more."
"You two must be really good friends then. I wish I had a friend like that," Yamcha said.
"Just what is that supposed to mean?" Trunks asked annoyed.
"Well according to Bulma, Annie and Chibi Trunks, you have been going out frequently and coming home all hours of the morning. I don't know of any friends who do that." Gohan said. Trunks chose to ignore him.
"So is she pretty?" Krillin asked.
"Oh, yes definitely," Chibi Trunks answered butting in.
"How would you know?" Trunks asked. "You've never even seen her."
"Not true. Annie has a picture of her." Chibi Trunks informed them.
"Does she have it now?" Gohan asked.
"She carries it everywhere with her. I go see if I can get it from her," Chibi Trunks said getting up. He came back a few minutes later. "Here," he said handing it to Gohan.
"Wow, now I see why you go out with her," He commented.
"Let me see," Yamcha and Krillin said. "They both looked at the picture.
"Well she is a looker," Krillin said.
"Very beautiful. I wouldn't mind going out with her sometime." Yamcha commented while drooling slightly.
"Bring that over here," Trunks demanded. He looked at the picture. It showed Usagi in a lovely garden hold an one year old Chibi Usa in her arms. She had on a simple royal blue dress. She was smiling and looked very happy. He put the picture in his pocket.
*****End Flashback*****
A week later Bulma invited Chibi Usa to another group gathering. She told Chibi Usa to bring her mother as well which she did. Usagi made quite an impression on them.
*****Flashback*****
"Where are they?" Bulma asked impatiently.
"Loosen up Bulma I'm sure they'll be here soon," Goku said.
"They should have been here an hour ago. I hope they didn't get lost or anything. Trunks did you give her the right directions?"
"Yes I did. She said she would be late because she had to go pick up her car."
"Oh ok then. So I…"
"They're here!" Annie said excitedly running outside. Everyone went outside as a silver sedan pulled up. Usagi and Chibi Usa came out from the car. Usagi wore a loose ankle length black dress with a round collar and short sleeves. She also wore the same jewelry as she did on the night of their first date. Chibi Usa had on a white blouse and short blue skirt.
She had a small locket around her neck.
"Chibi Usa!" Annie said running to her friend and giving her a hug.
Usagi looked at the two for a while before remembering herself. Giving a small bow she said, "Our deepest apologies for our tardiness. We hope we haven't caused you any undue trouble."
"Oh no that's alright," Chichi said.
"Gosh, now I know where she gets it from," Bulma said.
"I beg your pardon?" Usagi asked puzzled.
"Chibi Usa's manners. You taught her to be very polite."
"Oh thank you." she said blushing.
Vegeta studied her for a while. 'Something's not right here.' he said to himself.
*****End Flashback*****
They all like her almost instantaneously. She was easy to get along with and was very docile. Even Vegeta didn't insult her at all which was a first. Usagi showed them all the extent of her good manners and gentility (refinement). Chichi even commented that she had the mannerism of a princess which unknown to them was very close to they truth. While Vegeta was nice to her he was also suspicious of her. He sensed something not quite right with her and until he could pinpoint it he would remain weary of her.
Trunks and Usagi's friendship was slowly but surely becoming something more than that. She started to trust him more and open up to him and he in turn did the same. So it was quite natural that when she, Setsuna and the others were going on a business trip that they left Chibi Usa and Hotaru with Trunks and Annie.
********************
Annie, Pan, Chibi Usa, Bra, and Hotaru were at Gohan's home playing outside. Trunks was with Gohan discussing some business when the phone rang.
Trunks answered it. "Hello?"
"Hi Trunks its Usagi."
"Oh, Hi Usagi. How did you know I was here?"
"Your mom told me."
"So what's up?"
"I had some free time on my hands and wanted to talk with Chibi Usa. Is she there?"
"Sure. Hold on I'll go get her for you," he said.
Trunks went outside and called the kids over. "Where's Chibi Usa and Hotaru?"
"They're gone." Annie said.
"What do you mean they're gone?"
