It had been about a year since Trunks and Goten had returned from other world. King Vegeta hailed their arrival as the greatest homecoming any Saiyajin could ever have. Trunks and Goten on the other hand only had other agenda instead of partying. Goten wanted to spend his ever waking moment with Asuka when he first got back and for the whole year Goten and the girl were inseparable. Trunks had gone to inventing a new training item, which he dubbed the gravity belt. He finished his creation a week after being revived and began training with it inside of the gravity room at Bardock and Phalli's home.

Trunks had spent the year strictly training and that meant he didn't go to school. Trunks didn't care though since he knew most of the material and because he never passed the final grade that meant he and Goten would be graduating the same year.

The first week after he had finished the gravity belt he used it and nearly killed himself again. Trunks knew that the belt would only multiply the gravity already being pressed upon him in the gravity room. When he set the gravity room to its max at 5000, he accidentally set the gravity belt to 10 and was crushed to the ground. After about an hour of struggling to even open his mouth Trunks shut the machine of with his voice recognition system he installed just in case of his current predicament. Trunks was losing a lot of blood because of the pressure that was placed upon his organs that he wasn't ready for and so when Bardock found him he took Trunks to Nail to be healed.

Trunks explained to Bardock what had happened and then thanked Kami that no one else besides Nail and Bardock saw him in such a state. Though, to anyone else this would have discouraged Trunks but being the rebellious type Trunks only went back at it as soon as he got back from being healed by Nail.

Trunks, as said before, spent an entire year in the gravity room, with out coming out. Phalli would serve him his food but Trunks wouldn't eat when she was around. Trunks had learned a way to sleep, eat and any other activity that would be impossible because of the increased gravity. Trunks began to manipulate his energy so that he could stay floating in his aura while he slept and even while he ate. Trunks, also stayed in his level two Super Saiyajin mode the entire time. He remembered that Gohan had told him that was how he reached level two when fighting Cell in their time. Trunks knew that if he wanted to catch up with Goku and maybe even surpass him he would have to stay in his level two form, the entire time he trained.

Trunks had been training for a year and a few weeks before he was informed that Goten had left for the summer to train with the Supreme Kai. Trunks shrugged the news off and thought about his friends and how he was becoming just like Vegeta, training constantly." Trunks powered down out of his Super Saiyajin level two form and reset the gravity on his belt and in the room to zero.

He had stopped his training at 20,000 times the planets normal gravity and was quite pleased with himself. Trunks had reached level three but he disliked training in that forma and stayed at level two the entire time. Without Goten around Trunks couldn't tell how much stronger he had gotten. Using his aura to sustain many of the objects in the room had left him unable to concentrate on his own power level. Trunks had decided that for the rest of summer he would simply enjoy the last month of summer with his friends.

During the same year Ashe had trained with both Kakkarot and Prince Vegeta rigorously. She tried to ease the prince's anger towards not being able to reach Super Saiyajin, but he would only get angrier and take his frustration out during their sparring moments. Ashe was hurt both physically and emotionally until she decided to stop training with the prince altogether. She never told anyone how hurt she was because she wanted to stay strong. She hated being seen weak emotionally. Ashe had wanted nothing more than to reach Super Saiyajin before the prince just to spite him.

The days she went to school, Ashe hung around Asuka, Lena and Nelis who also began to train with Goten. Ashe began to like hanging around the three girls but refused to act so girly as they did. Goten and Asuka's relationship made Ashe jealous of what they had but she resigned herself to tolerating their constant displays of affection.

Ashe had noticed the Trunks was never at school and that she hadn't seen him since he had gotten back. When she went to visit Bardock and Phalli's home she was told he was training and wished not to be disturbed. Ashe's heart sunk a little before she realized that Trunks had never really liked her and that he had only lied to her father about their relationship in order to help her.

As the school year ended and summer began Ashe had reached Super Saiyajin and bragged to the prince about it. Her bragging only lasted a few days before Prince Vegeta achieved the feat as well. Ashe offered to train with him but he refused and sometimes just ignored her.

Kakkarot and Brolly had begun to be her only sparring partners due to the fact that Goten had left and Asuka, Nelis, Lena, and Radditz trained together and would sometimes go out after. Ashe was fine with training but didn't want to go anywhere with them because she couldn't stand to see Lena and Radditz making out constantly. Ashe had decided she rather watch Goten and Asuka cuddle. When Trunks finally came out from training, Ashe began to spend more time with him and learn from him. Trunks explained his newest invention to Ashe and the two decided to spend the rest of their summer training and getting better. Ashe constantly asked Trunks if she was slowly him down and when he told her that training her was his pleasure, her worries were gone.

As the summer came to an end Goten came home with strange new abilities but Trunks simply told him that he was still better and stronger. With the greetings and the jokes aside, Trunks, Goten, Asuka, Ashe, Lena, Radditz, and Nelis began hanging out more and more. Trunks tutored Asuka and Lena who weren't the brightest in science and math while Goten would help train Radditz, Nelis and Ashe whenever Trunks was holding a tutoring lesson.

When school started Trunks and Goten had enough influence to make sure that the whole group had the same classes. The day before school began Ashe was finishing her training with Trunks and was about to meet up with the others to hang out the night before returning to school.

"So Trunks, do you think that Goten is stronger than you?" Ashe asked trying to provoke Trunks into acting angry. Trunks looked at Ashe with a suspicious look on his face and then frowned.

"I think you're trying to provoke me…" Trunks grinned as he removed his sweat soaked shirt and threw it at Ashe. The teenage girl caught the shirt before it could hit her and glared at Trunks.

'Nice.' Ashe grinned to herself as Trunks looked at the strange girl and smirked.

"You see something, you want?" Trunks asked as he stepped closer to Ashe with a grin. Ashe's eyes widened as she pulled her light blue eyes away from his chest and stomach to his dark blue orbs.

"What?" Ashe asked breathless as Trunks fell to the ground laughing. Ashe shook out of her stupor and jumped on the fallen Saiyajin.

"Aaahh!" Trunks yelled as Ashe mounted his back and began to pull on his purple locks. Trunks ran around in circles hoping to get the girl off him but nothing worked.

"Ashe, let go! This hurts like crazy!" Trunks yelled as Ashe let go of the young man and jumped off his muscular back.

"Trunks, your hair has gotten longer… Goten's too… your hair growing, is that a part of your second race?" Ashe asked and Trunks nodded. Ashe smiled and then touched a strand of hair and then lifted a large section of the purple locks.

"Let me cut it!" Ashe smiled and Trunks looked at her strangely and shook his head.

"No…" Trunks whispered and Ashe sighed.

"Please, long hair isn't something that suits you… I'll make you look like a true Saiyajin!" Ashe grinned as Trunks frowned.

"I don't need or want to change my appearance so that I can fit in… if I can't be accepted the way I am then I don't care." Trunks stated as he began to walk away but Ashe grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.

"I didn't mean it… that way… it's just that…" Ashe stuttered as Trunk's eyes caught Ashe's in a death grip. Ashe looked away quickly as her cheeks reddened and spoke. "I just thought you looked handsome with shorter hair." Trunks looked guilty and then sighed as he hugged the young teen next to him.

"Ashe, I'm sorry…" Trunks started as Ashe looked up to him and smiled before looking away. "I guess you can cut it… but don't just butcher my hair…" Trunks grinned as Ashe led them into the house and suddenly Ashe stopped and turned.

"Trunks… can we just um stick to staying at your house until school tomorrow?" Ashe asked and Trunks raised a brow.

"What am I to say to Goten and the others? You and me aren't going because…" Trunks trailed off and looked at Ashe expectantly.

"I don't know… I just want to be alone with you… I mean I just don't want… um to be around them…" Ashe stated as her cheeks burned red. Trunks grinned at the girl before him and smiled.

"You want to be alone with me? I am quite flattered." Trunks smirked as he lifted Ashe up bridal style and began to walk into the house. Ashe was blushing insanely as she tucked herself into Trunks's arms. Trunks only looked at the girl cowering in his arms and laughed.

"I think you're enjoying the attention." Trunks grinned as he laid Ashe on the couch and whispered in her ear. The woman, three years younger, stared up into his eyes and smiled.

"Trunks…" Ashe whispered as the two locked eyes. Ashe lifted her arm and laid it across Trunks's back in order to pull him closer. Before either could make a move Goten came bursting into the room scaring Trunks who jumped away from Ashe and into Goten. The two stumbled around before falling into the front door.

"Owwweee!" Goten screamed as Trunks sat up. A knock sounded from the door and Goten was up to answer it.

"Come on you two lets go…" Goten stated as he opened the door to see his girlfriend Asuka standing on the other side. "Trunks Ashe, hurry up… you two can make out after we get back." Goten called behind him as Asuka laughed and then pulled Goten outside.

Trunks turned red from the accusation and growled. He turned to Ashe and nodded.

"I much rather stay here with you than sit and watch him hug and cuddle with Asuka… Radditz and Lena are even worse…" Trunks stated and then sighed, "Ashe you do know that Prince Vegeta will be coming along as well… you sure you don't want to go." Trunks knew that before he went to other world, the prince and Ashe were very close… no matter how jealous he was, Trunks knew he couldn't just break the two apart even if he did have something for the younger Saiyajin female.

"I'd rather watch Radditz and Lena make out than be in the prince's presence… he isn't much of a social person like you." Ashe said as she looked at the ceiling and then to Trunks.

"I know… my dad definitely isn't so it only makes since…" Trunks stated with a laugh.

Trunks disappeared upstairs and came back moments later in a new shirt. Ashe then motioned for him to come to her and sit.

"I say we start the hair now… unless you're afraid?" Ashe asked as Trunks shook his head and laughed.

"Of you… yeah… right." Trunks grinned as Ashe grabbed a fist full of purple hair and pulled him to the floor. She then stood up a grinned.

"I do remember this is almost along the same lines of how we met…." Ashe smirked and then sat down and pulled Trunks to a sitting position while he remained on the floor.

"I'll make this quick." Ashe stated as her hands began to glow and a short blue beam extended from four of her fingers. Trunks tried to see what was happening but Ashe kept pushing his head forward. "Stop moving or I may mess up and put a bald spot in your head." She growled and Trunks straightened up.

'Girls.' He thought momentarily before seeing a large clump of purple drop in his lap.


Goten and Asuka, both knew that Trunks and Ashe weren't coming after what had happened in Bardock's living room and so the couple decided to round up the others and continue on with their plans.

Nelis, Lena and Radditz were waiting for the couple at the training supplies mall and when Goten and Asuka finally showed up, the five headed towards the palace to drag Prince Vegeta into the social world.

"This is quite amazing… becoming a Super Saiyajin and knowing the prince… I must say… I never thought I would ever accomplish something like that." Nelis grinned as Goten nodded and smiled. The three Saiyajin females had all become Super Saiyajins over the year through intense training, but what Goten thought was amazing, was Nelis's ability to get so much stronger in such a little time. Goten commented on it a few times and each time Nelis stated it was in her blood to be a fighter. Goten may not have been a genius but he knew that fighting was in every Saiyajin's blood.

"Yeah, last time when we were training with his highness, he was so interested in Nelis's um… assets, Radditz nearly knocked his head off." Lena giggled as she flew closer to Radditz who shock his head.

"That was so close… if I hadn't stopped Prince Vegeta would be one furious wall ornament." Radditz laughed as Goten shock his head.

"You guys know its wrong to make fun of Vegeta, he wouldn't like to know what you guys are saying…" Goten stated with a taunting voice and Asuka replied.

"Well no ones gonna tell him cause, we all love the prince… even when he is checking out my best friend." Asuka laughed as Nelis frowned.

"Shut up!" She shouted as the group laughed.

"Nelis and Vegeta, sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love then comes marriage, then Nelis, not Vegeta cause he doesn't carry the baby carriage!" Goten recited, saying the last part fast in order to keep with the beat.

"Ha, ha, ha, real funny." Nelis replied sarcastically,

"More like real corny." Radditz shouted as he and Lena blasted past Goten. Nelis shook her head in amusement and raced after the two. Asuka was laughing at Goten's expression as he turned to her.

"That wasn't corny! I thought it was a good one!" Goten stated and Asuka shook her head in disapproval.

"Goten, leave the poems and jokes up to the pros…" Asuka grinned as she blasted off after her friends leaving Goten behind.

"I can't believe it! I thought that was funny!" Goten shouted to no one and then realized he was being left behind and then hurried after the group.


After a few hours of yelling and arguing Ashe had finally finished giving Trunks the haircut. She had sliced off a lot of the long purple locks and when she had finished Trunks was mourning the loss of his hair.

"Ashe… they're dead." Trunks stated referring to his purple locks that littered the floor beneath them.

"Stop being such a baby… it ain't that bad… I like it. You look so much more… older… more adult-like." Ashe grinned as she rubbed her hand through his shortened locks. Trunks was still mourning his hair when Phalli entered the house. She looked at Trunks confused and then noticed Ashe smiling.

"I see you let Ashe play with your hair…" Phalli stopped and looked at Trunks for a moment and smiled.

"I think she did a good job." Trunks looked at Phalli then to a smiling Ashe who nodded. Trunks ran from the room and to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror for at least an hour until he came out to find Ashe conversing with Bardock and Phalli. The two adults looked at Trunks and nodded in the acceptance of the new look while Ashe smiled proudly at her work.

"I'll have to get use to this… it just feels strange." Trunks stated as he rubbed his now short spiky hair.

(AN: Trunks's hair looks exactly how Future Gohan's hair looks but purple. Not Gohan in GT but the Gohan from the Trunks special… yeah the one with the Androids when they killed Gohan… now that you know what it like I'll continue)

"Ashe would you like to stay for the night? If so, call you're parents and tell them." Phalli stated as she finished dinner and served Bardock and Ashe. Trunks looked at his surrogate mother and raised a brow.

Phalli looked at Trunks and sighed.

"Ashe has been staying over night ever since you decided to stay in other world. I thought you wouldn't mind so I gave her your room… When you were wished back you went to training in the gravity room all day and night. Since your room wasn't being used I gave it to Ashe." Phalli stated indifferently, as Trunks looked confused.

"Wait… so the entire time I was in the gravity room she was asleep in my bed?" Trunks asked and Phalli shook her head.

"Only on the days she stayed late like this… you make it sound as if she lived here. If I had to add all the days up that she slept in your room it wouldn't be anymore than about fifty." Trunks looked at Ashe who blushed a little and turned away.

"So what were you doing in my room?" Trunks asked as Ashe simply smiled and then replied to Phalli.

"I'll head home, don't worry about accommodating me." She smiled as she began to eat and Trunks shook his head.

"It only makes since for you to stay… we could share my bed." Trunks grinned as Bardock nearly choked on his food as Phalli exploded into laughter. Ashe blushed, she hadn't expected that reply, but she wouldn't back down to him.

"Trunks I think that's a great idea… I would love to… maybe it will lead to a little more?" Ashe asked as her blushed faded and a seductive smirk appeared on her face.

Trunks looked at the woman before him and stood completely shocked. Phalli began to laugh even harder as Bardock looked more and more freaked out.

"So, Trunks you up for a night of fun?" Ashe asked as Trunks's face went ghost white.

"Uh, uh…." Trunks swallowed and sat down to his food and looked anywhere but Ashe's face. Phalli finally recovered from her laughing fit and grinned.

"That's what you get Trunks…" Phalli grinned as she turned to Ashe, "Finally, a young woman that'll keep him in check. You better hold onto her Trunks, she's a keeper." Phalli stated as Trunks only shrugged the comment and continued eating.


It was the first day of school. Trunks, Ashe and Goten left to school earlier than usual because Ashe had to go her house to change.

When she came out Trunks, was doing catcalls and then began to whistle.

"I must say Ashe, that skirt is getting shorter every year… I bet in a few months you're going to come to school in your panties." Goten laughed as Trunks raised his eyebrows up and down several times.

"That's when I'll have perfect attendance." Trunks grinned as Ashe blushed and hit his arm rather hard. Trunks winced from the pain and rubbed his appendage as the two took off without him.

"Hey that hurt!" Trunks yelled after them.

When the trio arrived at school, Radditz and Lena were the first to greet them as Asuka and Nelis floated down into the schoolyard. Nelis nodded to Ashe and then grinned.

"I remember not too long ago, when everyone thought you were a boy…" Nelis grinned as Ashe frowned and then attempted to grab Nelis. Trunks and Goten held her back and quieted Nelis down.

"How about we tour the school and find our classes?" Radditz suggested after seeing what could have happened. The group agreed and off they went. Radditz was the first to recognize their first period class and he went up to the door to spy on the teacher inside.

Asuka and Goten had sneaked away into the girls restroom for a make out session before Radditz could return. Trunks and Nelis were the first to realize the disappearance of the two and sighed to themselves.

"Your friend is corrupting my poor Asuka." Nelis stated with a smirk as she rubbed Trunks's shortened locks. "I love the hair also… its really sexy." Nelis winked. Ashe immediately stepped in front of Trunks and stared the girl down.

"I did it myself… I wouldn't want Trunks not having the best now would I?" Ashe asked as her hair began to stand slightly. Trunks only grabbed his head in frustration as the two began to argue. Lena simply watched the incident and Radditz try his best to sneak back to the awaiting others.

"Trunks, what are those two doing?" Radditz asked as Ashe's face turned red from anger as did Nelis's. The two teens were about to swing at one another but Trunks and Radditz grabbed them and pulled them apart.

"Cool it you two or that grunt in the classroom will hear me!" Radditz stated as the teacher whom he was spying on stood behind him. "Great now I a definitely getting in trouble." Radditz whined as the teacher pulled Radditz along with him. Lena sighed and turned to Trunks and the two girls and giggled.

"Me and Radditz will catch up with you all soon. So save us a seat!" Lena warned and Trunks nodded and turned to the two girls.

"Ladies there is enough of me to go around, no need to fight." Trunks stated seriously. Nelis and Ashe looked at him and then to each other and laughed.

"You're cute Trunks, but not that cute." Nelis stated and Trunks frowned.

"Come on, let's just go somewhere and wait for the bell to ring." Trunks grumbled as Nelis and Ashe followed, their dispute long forgotten due to Trunks's embarrassment.

"What a way to start a new school year…" Trunks cheered sarcastically.
