Scan: Glad you like! I just realized my stupid story only allowed signed reviews, I wonder how many people would have left one had I remembered to change it before. Ah well. I'll try not to use as much Japanese cuz I may end up confusing myself, so I'll use it when it's sorta necessary. You'll only need to remember a few, not all of the kids of course cuz I don't even remember half of them now. lol
A/N: Ok apparently I was distracted and didn't bother to check the names I used for the dodgeball chapter, so Mitsuki is supposed to be Kayoko...um I think I'll just use Mitsuki cuz I think that name sounds cooler. Ok so it's Mitsuki who has the bright red hair, ok? OK! Non-signed reviews are now enabled! Please don't be lazy and not take advantage!
---------------------------------
It's been about a week and a half and the murals are almost finished despite Sam bothering Anya and the fact that there was almost a paint fight. They were really good artists though so it all worked out. The murals were scenes in nature. One group had a jungle scene, one a savannah, and our favorite group had a marine scene(A/N: cuz i just love marine mammals, mostly dolphins though). There were only three full days of school left before Thanksgiving break(A/N: I'm making it the whole week). It was time for the kids to start coming to finish up. Bra and Pan came to where Sam and Anya were talking, for once, about one thing or another.
Bra nudged Pan forward. She turned to glare at her before tapping Anya on the knee.
"Hey kiddo what's up?" Anya said turning to face her.
"Well during Thanksgiving break I'm, well we, are having a slumber party, on Tuesday. My mom was supposed to be there cuz Daddy won't be back until the day after for business reasons. But Mom got called to an emergency or something in Kyushu and won't be back til Thursday morning, so we were wondering if you and Sam could chaperone." she hadn't broken eye contact and her Alice blue orbs contrasted greatly with her sister's liquid ore ones. They would look identical down to the small sprinkle of freckles on their noses if they had the same color hair, eyes, and...tails. I always wanted to ask them about those.
"Sure, on one condition," Anya said standing up. "Tell me why you two have tails."
Pan's eye twitched. Bra laughed nervously and put her hand behind her head and then stopped suddenly noticing something.
"Where did that come from?" she said pointing behind Anya to a copper tail. Her eyes looked like saucers as she grabbed the tail and squeezed it a little as confirmation, which she immediately wish she hadn't done as she clenched her teeth to keep from yelping. Sam chuckled. Anya whirled around at him almost foaming at the mouth. Then she suddenly smiled and walked over to where he stood until her face was about an inch away from his.
"You know Sammy, you have really pretty eyes," Bra and Pan sweat dropped and a blush rose to Sam's cheeks as he stared at her hazel eyes, right before his face contorted in pain. "It appears that you've got one too. Still funny?" she said after releasing his tail from her grip.
"Ow. Funny no, cool yes." Sam said, tending to his brown tail, "I always thought it'd be neat to have one when I was their age." Sam said happily swishing his tail while cheesing. :D Sam's face
Anya, Pan, and Bra sweat dropped. Anya cleared her throat.
"Well anyway, we should keep them hidden for now until we figure out what the heck is going on," she said while stuffing it securely under one of the shirts she was wearing(A/N: remember its November, its fairly cold). Sam followed suit.
"I think I know someone who might be able to help," Bra said. "Vegeta-sama!"
"Oh yeah!" Pan said. "He's kinda grumpy sometimes, and you wouldn't want to get him mad at you, but he's really smart."
"Umm, ok," Anya said tentatively. "It's a start I guess."
"Do you think you we could go see him after school?" Sam asked. "I could drive us there."
"After I call your parents of course," Anya added. They nodded and gave her Videl's work number. After telling her a somewhat strange explanation, she agreed.
"Alright, you guys," Anya said after flipping her cell phone closed. "She's gonna call the school via Vid-Phone and tell them it's ok to bring you two with us." she looked up as more kids started coming over to sit down awaiting instructions. Two minutes went by and the last kid came in to sit.
"Alright, Anya and I put the finishing touches on the mural after you all left yesterday so it's all finished an dry now." Sam announced. Then Anya removed the black sheet that was in front of the painting. The children looked at it in awe. They had all been working on it close up so they never got a full on view. It was a partial underwater scene that showed a sunrise on top of the water. There were exotic fish all around, ocean plants coating the floor, and a few dolphins playing under the water and two in mid air jumps splashing up water. "You all get to sign it in one of the bubbles and since we're the first group done we get an all-expense paid trip to IHOP on Saturday morning." Cheering was heard and a few kids drooled. Some had never been there and were excited about going someplace new. (AN: I'm excited too I luv IHOP-International House of Pancakes-for those who don't know, they have THE best pancakes EVER) "Settle down. I'm excited too, I love those buttermilk pancakes. They said that they'll need one of your parents to come along, so we can decide that by tomorrow."
Anya passed out permission slips and then went to pull out a rubbermaid bin she had in her duffle bag. Every kid that had still been chatting before stopped to stare along with all the others at the bin she'd taken out making a faces like this O.O
"Well...now that I've got all of your attention, as you can see I made cookies, chocolate chip cinnamon cookies, that is." Anya said then rolled her eyes saying, "Sam don't step any closer," he jumped slightly and his cheeks were tinged pink from being noticed. "You're such a cookie fiend." she looked back to the kids, "You each can have three, but try not to eat them all now. At least share with your mom or dad or whatever. I find they taste best with ice cream after dinner. If your parents want to buy any, they're $2.00 a dozen." she said while they lined up to take theirs, say thank you, and go back to class to wait the last ten minutes for the bell to ring.
"Trunks stay here," Sam said when he turned to leave.
Trunks shrugged and waved to Yoshiko, who was leaving. He sniffed his cookie before taking a small bite, and then stuffing the rest into his mouth. x his face after stuffing the cookie in his mouth
"Well, we're going to your house apparently so your father can try to explain this," she unveiled her tail, "And why he has one too." she said gesturing to Sam who happily swished his tail around.
Trunks nearly choked on his cookie, and was partially thankful he didn't start on the second one, though they tasted heavenly. "Are you Saiya-jins?"
"Umm...why don't we go to the car and you guys can explain about this Sai..ya-jin thing," Anya said while packing up her bin in her duffle bag. There were still about 50 cookies left.
The five got their coats on and left for Capsule Corp. On the way Trunks, Pan, and Bra made Sam and Anya swear to secrecy before telling them all about their heritage and the great battles their relatives and friends had been in. When they got out of the car, Trunks even gave them a 'small' demostration of his awesome strength by uprooting one of the trees in the backyard and then pushed it back down. He smiled while the two teenagers gaped like this (OoO)
"Whoa, so you, you, you, and two of your other friends who haven't even gotten past the third grade, can all do that!" Sam asked.
"Yup!" Trunks smirked while leading the group to a white building that was whirring with an occasional small explosion that shook the ground a little. He pressed a button on the side, "Dad, you've got visitors."
The whirring stopped and the side door slid open revealing a pissed off Vegeta with a towel wiping sweat off his arm.
"This better be important brat," he said to Trunks.
"VEGETA-SAMA!" Pan and Bra each hugged one of his legs. They let go to bring Sam and Anya over to meet him.
"Pleasure to meet you your highness," Anya said bowing a little.
Seems they taught her how to act in front of royalty. Vegeta thought
"Um, I baked cookies!" she said bringing out a plateful from behind her back. 0 Anya's face
Spoke too soon.
Vegeta frowned "You can't be serious. You're wasting my time."
"But sir," Sam said "It's a well known fact that the most established and respected of all royalty, especially the warriors, love chocolate!"
Vegeta turned around and raised an eyebrow "Chocolate?"
"Yes," Sam said taking the cookies and handing them to the prince. "She is the best baker around and we came seeking your renowned knowledge about our tails that suddenly appeared."
Vegeta took the plate and said, "Follow me."
"Where did you learn all that stuff about royalty?" Anya asked.
"I watch a lot of TV," Sam said smiling. insert everyone falling anime style here>
