I walked to school that morning as always, and it was such a beautiful day too. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and I was skipping up to Elise's door. I knocked and waited, to be greeted by Eric, or so I would assume.

"Oh! Trunks! I didn't think you'd be here!" I said happily as the door opened to reveal the Purple-Haired Wonder, otherwise known as my insane boyfriend.

"...Shut up. Let's go." Trunks said and quietly closed the door behind him then took to the skies, leaving me on the ground.

"HEY! GOD DAMMIT!" I screamed, and left for school, walking along as always. The day didn't seem quite so nice anymore.

I walked into the school and found Trunks standing in front of his locker, twitching. "So horrible... I hate Eric... so horrible... I hate Eric..," he was mumbling almost incoherently to himself.

"How could you just leave me there! You're so cruel and heartless sometimes!" I said, standing beside him and glaring.

We were then joined by the root of Trunks' problems, Eric. "Hey! Don't yell at my property! I have to yell at him first!"

He was met with silence.

So he continued.

"You know you aren't supposed to leave like that! I didn't pay good money to own you to have you just WALK AWAY!" Eric yelled, even going so far as to shake his finger at Trunks as he talked.

"Carrie! You knocked on my door and then you LEFT?" Elise said, joining us at the lockers, her puppy - er, I mean, Goten, following behind her.

"So Trunks, how was your first night with your new owner?" Gohan said, walking up beside us as well.

"Trunks was at Eric's last night!"

"Kawaii!" Elise glomped Goten.

"Gohan! That's so mean! You should really be nicer to him," I said.

"Meh," Gohan shrugged.

Things seemed to be the same around here, but they were far from it...

"Will all of you just shut up!" Trunks yelled and started banging his head against the lockers.

Okay, maybe they were the same.

I blinked. "You're going to hurt yourself one day doing that. Now, Eric, why do you want to own Trunks?"

"Well, why not? I mean he's cute... and it'd be fun to have him as a little slave boy. Maybe I could get him to dress up in little revealing numbers..."

BANG. SMASH. CRASH.

Trunks' head was through the locker. Through the wall, even. Right into Vegeta's class. This was not going to be pretty. Maybe I could just leave now...

Maybe no one would notice...

"Hey Carrie! Where are you going?" Goten called.

Dammit, foiled again.

I looked into the class.

"Boy, you are not my concern anymore. Get out." Vegeta barely even looked up from the desk to say that.

"Dad! How could you say that? I'm your son!"

"I don't have a son, and besides, you belong to Eric."

Trunks twitched.

"You know, there are some people who might not mind 'owning' Trunks. Unfortunately for Eric, he's not one of them. Now, technically, I pretty much own him seeing that he's whipped by ME. Not you. So just hand him over, and everything will be fine," I said, walking up to Eric and basically ranting and yelling at him.

Eric smiled, an almost evil smile. "No." He said simply and very perkily.

I sweatdropped. "AUGH! I HATE ALL OF YOU!"

"...Hey! Wait a second! You would want someone to OWN me? No one should own me! I belong to myself and me only! It's not right to sell someone like that! It's inhumane! I shouldn't be owned by anyone! Especially IT!" Trunks screamed.

"Carrie, I think there is a simple solution to this problem," Gohan began only to be cut off by:

"I know! Why don't you go talk to Vegeta!" Elise said, grinning like she just had the most brilliant idea in the world.

"Yeah and I could go talk to Tasuki about going out with Eric. It would have the same effect! NOTHING!" I said angrily.

"...Never mind," Elise said, sitting down and sulking.

"She's sulking," Goten pointed out.

"Yeah, thanks again Captain Obvious. What would we ever do without you?" Youji chimed in.

Gee, where did he come from? He really does live here...

Thinking it over, maybe talking to Vegeta was at least worth a shot... I mean hey, what did I have to lose? Oh, wait, besides maybe, my life.

"Oh Veggie-chan!"

"Didn't I tell you not to call me that?" Vegeta said without batting an eye.

"Is there any possible way you could maybe un-sign that paper so Trunks doesn't have to belong to that sick freak Eric? Please?" I pleaded, my eyes getting all big and shiny.

"No. He's not my problem."

"But, but pleaaaaaase, future-father-in-law?"

"What did you call me? Get out." Vegeta pointed at the door.

"Fine, but I'll remember this!" I threatened. Then I realized whom I was threatening. "Never mind that! Bye now!" I even waved at him as I was leaving for effect.

"That went well," Gohan remarked.

"...Hey at least she tried," Elise said.

"And she didn't get blasted," Youji pointed out.

Things weren't looking good.

"Boy, get your head out of my wall," Vegeta said.

I had one last resort... but did I really want to use it? First I pulled Trunks out from the wall, and then considered it.

I shuddered. This was going to cost me. Not money, my dignity. I would never live it down. Trunks would definitely owe me big time. Super big time. He could never stop repaying me.

"Oh Er-ric!" I said in a singsong voice, trying not to look too disgusted.

"What would you like?" He said, raising an eyebrow curiously.

"I'll make you a deal..." I began.

"I don't like the sound of that," Gohan muttered, shaking his head in the background.

"Shhh!" I said, glaring at him.

"Depends what it is," Eric answered.

"If you give me Trunks I'll..." I shuddered again. "I'll give you a..." I shuddered again. "A kiss." I said then hoped I didn't look like I was about to be sick, because I sure felt that way.

Everyone except Elise and Trunks broke out in a chorus of "EWWWWWWWWWW!"

Elise was just shocked and Trunks was well, flipping out.

"You'll... WHAT! I DON'T THINK SO! YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING THAT FREAK AT ALL! IN FACT YOU ARE GOING TO STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM HIM! DON'T YOU DARE!" Trunks went to bang his head on the wall, but there was nothing to bang and he went back through the hole. What a moron...

We heard Vegeta in the background say "what are you doing? You were told to GET OUT."

Eric's face broke out into a grin. "Sure! Kiss me."

"O...kay..." then slowly went over to him while Trunks screamed and ranted and carried on like a lunatic. I gave him a REALLY QUICK, REALLY CHASTE, I barely touched him it was SO disgusting, kiss.

Eric grinned evilly. "My answer is still no."

Everyone facefaulted. I fell to my knees and started crying. "But I even kissed you! That was the final straw! How could you be so mean and heartless?"

"One billion dollars will do that to a person," Eric shrugged. "YOU'RE NOT EVEN A PERSON!" Trunks screamed.

"You don't really exist," Gohan said.

I was wiping my mouth frantically, shuddering as I did so. I would never, ever live that down. It would come back to haunt me even in my old age, I was sure of it.

"Trunks? What happened to your head? Carrie, why are you screaming and crying? What did he do to you this time?"

That voice! So familiar!

"Mom?" Trunks asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Well your father forgot his lunch this morning and I would rather not have complaints from the lunch staff about how rude he is, so I thought I would bring it to him. Now, what's going on here?"

Everyone snickered because Vegeta forgot his lunch.

"Wow, you still get lunches made for you?" Youji asked.

"Shut. Up." He said in that royal manner that only he could perfect.

"Well you see, Vegeta disowned Trunks and then Aoi sold him on eBay and now Eric owns him and now Vegeta won't un-disown Trunks and I tried everything to get him away from Eric and it didn't work and BULMA! You just have to help! PLEASE!" I said all in one breath, still crying. (Yes that is possible. Trust me. It was tested.)

"You did what, Vegeta!" She turned on him, glaring.

Vegeta was actually scared. He opened his eyes and even involuntarily backed up a little bit. "I... "

"You what? You will take him back RIGHT NOW," she said and grabbed the contract from Eric and ripped it up.

Eric started crying.

Aoi walked by, "no refunds!"

Eric ran away, sobbing.

Thank god.

"Hey... wait... why aren't all of you in class? Gohan, I'm ashamed of you! You should be the leader and make sure all of them are in their classes! Do you want me to tell your mother? Because believe me, I will!"

"No! I'm sorry but you see, Vegeta worked out a 'deal' with the other teachers where we would all pass, but we didn't have to go to class," Gohan explained.

Ah crap, our cover was blown.

"Gohan!" Youji said, getting out his string and pulling on it threateningly.

"VEGETA! How is your son ever going to get an education! I cannot believe you would do such a thing! I want you to go to all their teachers RIGHT NOW and make sure they all have to go to class! I can't have our son being an idiot-"

"Too late for that," Elise muttered.

She was ki blasted.

"I...tai... stupid Trunks..."

"Quiet you," I muttered to Elise.

"How will he ever take over the company when I die? Capsule Corps can't be run by a complete moron! Now get going!"

We all marvelled as Vegeta took an order and left to go do as he was told.

"Wow, if only I had that power over him..." Elise mumbled to herself.

Luckily, Bulma didn't hear her.

"I'm going home now," I muttered. Today had been a long day and I had a lot of disinfecting to do on my mouth.

"I'm going with you." Trunks said, leaving with me.

Everyone else joined us.

So that was the end of that adventure... and now it was... back to class!

What could be worse?
