PLEASE REVIEW... give me some encouragement, thanks!
CHAPTER 8
It had been at a good two months into what would be Trunks and the gangs finally year. Trunks over the two-month span had gone to bragging about his skill and talking about how Goten was no where near him in strength. Of course there was dispute over who was strongest but Trunks and Goten wouldn't just allow the other to win so there were a few words said to each other that seemed to put a strain on their friendship.
This and the fact that Asuka began taking up more of Goten's time and Trunks would either train alone or with Ashe.
Ashe had been hanging out with the supposed 'cool' group in school and so her popularity had shot through the roof. Since Goten was already taken by one of the strongest female Saiyajins in the school, Trunks was seen as the 'hot bachelor'. With he and Goten claiming to be the strongest and the only ones on the planet to surpass Super Saiyajin, every female in the school wanted him.
This was where Ashe often stepped in. She often shooed off many female Saiyajins that would try to flirt with Trunks during class or lunch. After about a month of this happening constantly, many inside the school believed that she was 'his woman'.
"Trunks, I'm surprised you haven't refused the idea of being Ashe's boy-toy." Nelis grinned as she and him met up with Goten, Asuka, Radditz, and Lena.
"Goten" Trunks stated sourly
"Trunks." Goten frowned and immediately the two turned from each other.
"You two are about to be out in the adult world and you're acting like two toddlers. I bet Kakkarot and Bardock have more manners." Asuka grinned as Trunks huffed.
"Well maybe if you tell your boyfriend that I am the better fighter just like always maybe I will forgive him." Trunks said to Asuka. Asuka sighed and led Goten into their next class.
"Talk to him yourself… I'm not some middleman." Asuka called behind her. Trunks sighed and attempted to calm himself down. Two Saiyajin females walked by and winked at Trunks as he smiled back at them and waved.
The two Saiyajins saw this as an opportunity to flirt and as they began to come over to him Nelis held her hand up and stopped them.
"No flirting, remember he's taken." Nelis stated tiredly as the girls frowned at her and retorted.
"I doubt that little girl knows how to satisfy a Super Saiyajin, uh Trunks?" The taller one stated as the shorted female only smirked and licked her lips suggestively. Trunks began to laugh nervously and then stopped abruptly. His eyes widened.
"I think you two sleazy tramps need to keep it moving or else." A very angry Ashe stood behind the two women frowning. At first the taller female was about to confront Ashe but the shorter one pulled her aside and whispered in her ear.
"No way!" the taller female looked at Ashe shocked and then both females ran off. Trunks laughed a little and sighed. Ashe was frowning at him and shook her head.
"Why do you insist in lowing yourself so much? I mean why is it that you enjoy having such trash flirt with you… I'd be disgusted. I know you can do better than those two… they don't care for you, just you're strength. They'll never be able to love you, like I…" Ashe stopped and blushed. She tried to look angry or frustrated as she fought her blush and walked into class, but Trunks only laughed and followed.
"I wonder when he'll stop torturing her and ask her out on a date?" Lena asked Radditz who shrugged.
"Trunks is a strange one… don't forget that. Ashe is just as strange that's what makes them perfect for each other." Radditz sighed as he turned to Nelis and grinned.
"So Nelis, how was your 'meeting' with the Prince last night?" Radditz asked as Nelis's eyes shot open.
"What? I have no clue what you mean!" Nelis said nervously and went into the class.
Kakkarot and Brolly had been in class for their required four hours and at dismissal, at lunchtime, the duo flew over to the higher school and waited to catch up with the older teens and brag about being out of school. Though they did it almost every day since school started, Brolly enjoyed watching Goten get upset and then Asuka brushing them off, but eventually getting angry at them for their teasing and chase them until Trunks and Ashe would stop her.
"So Brolly, who do you think will crack first today? I bet it'll still be Goten, and Asuka will start chasing us again… Unless, Ashe is in a bad mood and then we're in trouble. It would be cool to see if we can run from Trunks or Goten." Kakkarot grinned and Brolly shook his head.
"I bet we can get Trunks ticked off if we tell him that Goten showed us his power level and we say its higher than his. I doubt we'd get away… they are much stronger than both of us… and if we do say that to Trunks and Ashe is in a bad mood, and Asuka is tired of our teasing then we will seriously get hurt." Brolly stated calmly as Kakkarot looked at him and coughed.
"You're serious uh?" Kakkarot asked as Brolly raised a brow and shook his head.
"Kakkarot, the girls are the most violent! They'll kill us! Remember that day when Ashe was ultra pissed at Trunks and took it out on us? I couldn't feel my arms for days." Brolly stated remembering the pain from the day.
Trunks and Goten had continued arguing over who was the strongest between the two with no end in sight. Goten went as far as challenging Trunks to fight him in the school yard but Asuka and several well timed kisses changed his mind to other things.
"You're just as big chicken, Goten!" Trunks called out as Ashe pinched his arm and frowned at him.
"Just chill it… I mean you and him are the best of friends! Why would you want to jeopardize that over a stupid notion such as strength?" Ashe asked as Trunks turned to her and raised a brow.
"Wow, I never thought I would hear a native Saiyajin say that." Trunks whispered to Goten who seemed to forget their quarrel and answer back in a whisper that Ashe could easily here.
"She's starting to act like a mom, I think she is ready for mating season if you know what I mean." Goten elbowed Trunks who turned to him and frowned before Ashe grabbed Goten by the shirt and shook him senseless.
"Perv…" Trunks stated to Radditz in a whisper.
"Why are you whispering?" Radditz asked slightly annoyed himself. Trunks thought for a moment and then answered in a whisper.
"Because this just seems so much more… well… cooler… at the moment." Trunks finished and nodded in contentment with his answer. Radditz only sighed as Lena pulled him away to get in line for lunch.
Everyday the group would get their meals and eat outside at one of their tables. Trunks and Goten had proclaimed the table to be either, 'Table of Trunks', or 'Goten's Grounds', depending on which arrived with their meal first.
Though their rivalry never escalated to anything violent, Lena, Asuka, Ashe, Nelis, and Radditz were getting tired of hearing the two argue back and forth. This day had been no different except for the fact that Asuka, Lena and Nelis had all formulated a plan that would occupy Trunks's thoughts long enough for him to just forget about the stupid argument.
Asuka stepped up behind Ashe and began to unravel her plan as the two boys restarted their vocal battle.
"Hey, Ashe, how about you help me and the girls end this little feud the boys are having?" Asuka asked as she leaned around Ashe's left side. Nelis came up around Ashe's right side and began speaking.
"We have the perfect plan that involves you. This plan is so great, that it requires you, the only person that Trunks will listen to, to be at the peak of your game." Nelis grinned as Ashe raised her eyebrow and turned to the teen.
"And what would this plan be?" Ashe asked as Nelis smiled.
"All you have to do is say the words, 'I would love to', and, poof, it's done." Asuka grinned as Ashe turned to her and frowned a little.
"You two aren't trying to play some joke on me are you?" Ashe asked and Nelis countered.
"Ashe you would kill us if that happened. Why would we risk our own health?" Nelis asked as Ashe sighed and agreed.
"When must I say those words?" Ashe questioned and Nelis smiled and Asuka smirked.
"As soon as Trunks comes over to ask you out." Asuka stated simply as Ashe's eyes widened and then she panicked.
"No! I can't, no way! I will not say yes." Ashe stated in a frenzy as the two older teens laughed.
"Why not? I heard from Phalli that you two were about to skip the dating part and get straight to the mating part in her living room the day before school." Asuka grinned as Ashe's face turned red.
"No… we were just…" Ashe started but Nelis laughed.
"Besides most of the females think Trunks is off the market because of the constant watch you have over him… I don't see why you don't close the deal… or would you want some other… undeserving…" Nelis stopped for dramatic effect before continuing, "trashy, no good…. Tramp to get him?" Nelis questioned as Ashe's eyes flashed with a hint of anger before nervousness overtook her.
"I still can't! He'd never say yes to going out with me." Ashe stated quickly as Asuka grinned.
"That's the point, we're gonna get him to ask you and all you have to do is accept." Asuka stated as she turned to Lena, Goten, Trunks and Radditz, "We already started working on this and its too late to turn back now… if he comes over just say yes." Asuka stated as she moved from the younger teen and stepped back with Nelis.
Trunks and Goten had forgotten about fighting and were listening to the words Lena was saying. Though everyone knew that Ashe liked Trunks, even Trunks, he and Goten weren't so surprised when Lena came to them to tell them that, what had surprised the two demi-Sayaijins, were the explicit tails of Ashe's love lust for Trunks. Lena knew everything she was saying was a lie but she had to do her part in Asuka's plan.
"I promise you Trunks she does that every time she's alone in the locker rooms before a sparring practice. I've walked in on her a couple of times and I swore not to say anything but she's getting desperate… I just don't…" Lena had begun to cry and then added. " I don't want some creep taking advantage of her… Trunks I know you'll take care of her and she needs someone who won't call her a freak or judge her… please Trunks do this for me and for Ashe." Lena begged with teary eyes as Trunks seemed reluctant.
"I seriously doubt that she will say yes, but what the heck." Trunks stated as he began to approach Nelis, Ashe and Asuka.
"Alright Ashe here he comes… remember just say yes." Asuka stated before she put some distance between her and the other teen.
"Ashe, I guess… I was… uh… well… the thing is…" Trunks stuttered and then changed his sentence and then just stopped.
Goten and Radditz who were watching several yards away could only stare in amazement.
"Trunks… " Goten stated.
"Is…" Radditz spoke.
"Nervous?" Both looked at each other and then rubbed their eyes and looked back at Trunks struggle to ask Ashe out on a date.
"Dude, Trunks has never been nervous with girls ever." Goten whispered to Radditz who nodded.
Trunks sighed and then breathed in deeply.
"Alright Ashe, its like this…. Um…uh…." Trunks stated as he connected with Ashe's eyes and became transfixed upon them. Trunks shook himself out of his daze and sighed. "Ashe, I was wondering if… if… maybe you and… and um… me go… out sometime?" Trunks concluded completely disgusted with himself at his horrible speech.
Trunks waited for a reply but the one he wanted was a yes or a no, or maybe a nod of the head or a shake of the head. Trunks did not get either of those but he did get a chuckle.
Ashe was looking straight into Trunks's eyes but she was chuckling a little. Radditz and Goten had thought maybe she was laughing at Trunks's attempt but Asuka, Lena, and Nelis knew that Ashe's laugh was much more insane-like and probably inflicted on her due to the fact the guy of her dreams finally asked her out.
Trunks, on the other hand, was about to explode with sorrow or anger… he couldn't decide which one to let surface. Ashe, on the other hand, was just trying to calm her nerves and stop what she thought was a crazed woman's laughter from coming out of her mouth and then run away.
Nelis stepped in before either could make a move and smiled at Trunks as she grabbed Ashe by the shoulders.
"Ashe would love to go out with you Trunks… she's just really, really…" Nelis looked at Ashe's face and continued, "really, really, happy. She's just so freaked out that she can't form the right words in her head, just like you a moment ago…. Now Ashe tell Trunks how much you would love to go out with him." Nelis stated as she made Ashe face her.
Ashe turned to Trunks slowly, as her small chuckles still escaped her lips and nodded emphatically and then swallowed as she moved her lips but no sound came out.
"See that's just pure excitement ain't that right Ashe?" Nelis asked as Ashe nodded again with even more ethusiasm. Trunks blushed and then tried to look elsewhere but his body wouldn't obey him as he and Ashe continued to stare into each other's eyes.
Suddenly, a large ball of trash hit Trunks in the side of his head and then Ashe's expression went from too shocked to speak to pure anger.
"Who did it?" She roared as she erupted into Super Saiyajin level one. Ashe looked around and spotted Brolly laughing hard as Kakkarot looked as if he just wet his pants. Ashe wasted no time in going after the youngest son of Bardock.
As the end of the school day came, Trunks and the group were given an astounding announcement in their last period. The head of the school board had came over the intercom and announced a world wide martial arts tournament.
"The tournament shall be held in the courtyard of the King's palace! The victors of the separate rounds shall do battle against one another and will have the opportunity with a meeting with the King of our people, King Vegeta! Sign up in the front office if you are interested. Space may be limited." The announcer stated and immediately chaos broke throughout the planet of Vegeta.
Trunks and Goten had saw this as the perfect opportunity to fight each other but both knew that they would probably not be able to fight each other due to the fact they would most likely be the trainers of the winners of the tournament. Trunks shot Goten a grin and then the next thing you know the two disappeared.
"What is it Trunks?" Goten asked as Trunks looked at him amazed.
"I didn't think you would master the art of instant transmission… I thought I was the only one that learned instant transmission without a teacher… I must say Goten, you have impressed me." Trunks stated as Goten looked at him wide eyed.
"What? You learned on your own? I had the Supreme Kai teach me! I'm not saying you're stronger but that is very impressive… I guess." Goten grinned as he added something else, "Yeah just as impressive as you were today when you asked Ashe out." Goten grinned as Trunks blushed and looked away.
"Shut up!" Trunks shouted and then went back to his original thoughts. "Goten I think we'll get a chance to fight each other but the king might make us sit it out. I think he'll also want us to train the winner." Trunks stated as Goten nodded. "Oh, and sorry about the past few months… I guess we're taking our arguing to another level… I doubt Ashe will want me to do that now that I'm her boyfriend..." Trunks stated as he looked off into space. Goten laughed and then patted Trunks on the back.
"Do you think that the other's still think that we're arguing? I mean man, we've been going at it for a while, but we both know that its not that serious… I think they all think we're seriously angry with each other." Goten grinned as Trunks nodded with a smirk.
"They couldn't be any further from the truth." Trunks laughed as he and Goten teleported back to the school and into their seats.
"Where did you two go?" Lena asked from behind Radditz who was enjoying a nice neck massage. Goten waved his hand in front of Radditz's bliss filled face. After receiving no kind of response Goten wet his index finger with his saliva and stuck it into Radditz's ear lobe.
Radditz shot out of his seat and yelled, disrupting class and causing him to go to the office. Goten was laughing so hard that he too had to join Radditz and soon, both Asuka and Lena excused themselves to the office as well.
Nelis and Ashe looked at Trunks expectantly and then he sighed.
"I don't wanna go." Trunks stated as Ashe shook her head and sighed.
"I guess I can make it worth you while." Ashe grinned as Trunks shot out of his seat and began his classic 'Statement of Address' as he called it. It was a known thing that on the last day of the school week during their last period Trunks, Goten and the whole group would be sent to the office. Their teacher, a Saiyajin named Onon, sadly never caught on and so he never saw the pattern of their antics. On this day Trunks would give a speech that he knew the teacher would forever remember.
"Class, we have a roaming dirty ball among us… he has deceived us long enough…. Four score and seven minutes ago… when the great General Goten… Von… Something-Himer was dismissed to the abyss and yes that rhymes. The unconstitutionally ugly commander of this class committed treason to the king! He hath condemn-eth you all the slavery and oppression and Great Depression! I shall not stand by and let this cur do such a thing! As a Saiyajin! A man! I sir…" Trunks walked up to the confused and shocked teacher and pulled out the man's own handkerchief and slapped him with it. "Challenge you to a duel of honor and insecurity!" Trunks stated as he exited the class without getting any response from the poor older Saiyajin.
Ashe and Nelis were dying of laughter as were the other students in the class. The two girls exited shortly after Trunks made his departure and continued laughing all the way to the office. When they arrived Asuka and Lena were coming out of the office with Goten and Radditz who had a what-took-you look on their faces.
"Trunks here decided to give a speech." Nelis stated with a laugh as Radditz and Goten looked at Trunks in shock.
"The Statement of Address?" Radditz asked and Trunks nodded with a laugh.
"That got us kicked out of the last school remember?" Radditz asked as Trunks thought for a moment and shrugged.
"Last time, no one knew we were the legendary Super Saiyajins." Trunks corrected him with a grin. Radditz shook his head and sighed.
"My dad is going to kill me." Radditz stated as the bell rang and school had ended.
"Trunks, you three are going to go talk to the principal right?" Goten asked as they began to leave but Trunks shrugged and then lifted his chin and began talking in the snobbiest voice possible.
"I am a prince." Trunks stated, rolling the 'R' in the word 'prince', "I do as I please peasant." Trunks finished as he pretended to ride a horse out of the building. Ashe was laughing the whole time and followed him quickly. Goten shook his head with a smile and spoke.
"Trunks is smart at times and at others… well… let's just leave it at that." Goten grinned as he and the rest of the group left the school grounds.
The groups met up at Phalli's home and were lounging around while they brainstormed what to do.
"Trunks, why don't we play a game of truth or dare?" Goten asked and immediately he was asked what it was. After explaining Trunks reluctantly agreed and swore to himself to only do 'truth'.
"I will go first to demonstrate… Ashe! Truth or dare?" Goten grinned as she looked confused for a second and then smiled.
"Dare!" Ashe shot out and smiled. She believed that she had won the game but then Goten shook his head and spoke.
"You're not trying to guess which one… you are choosing the one you will actually do." Goten stated and Ashe nodded, "In any case, here's your dare… I dare you to … um… I know!" Goten exclaimed and then grinned deviously.
"Ashe, I dare you to take Trunks into his bedroom and make out with him." Goten laughed as Ashe looked shocked and then frowned.
"I shall not embarrass myself in such a way or will I embarrass Trunks for your enjoyment!" Ashe growled as Goten held up his hands defensively.
"Fine, I guess this game isn't going to work!" Goten sighed as he laid back into Asuka's lap.
"Goten, you know better… those two are a new couple… they do everything in private during this time." Asuka grinned as Ashe frowned at her. "Well it is true isn't?" Asuka smirked as Ashe shook her head and blushed.
"Well if we do anything it is in private! Unlike you and Goten… who are always kissing and hugging each other." Ashe retorted as Asuka raised a brow and then leaned forward and kissed Goten.
"So, at least I'm not afraid to kiss my mate… coward." Asuka stated with an evil grin. Ashe frowned and pulled Trunks to her forcefully and then engaged in the most passionate kiss that either ever had. Trunks hadn't even the time to react before she had grabbed him and so his mouth was opening up to speak but Ashe's mouth covered his before any words had escaped. This lead to the young teen sliding her tongue into his mouth.
After what seemed like an eternity the two broke apart. Ashe smirked triumphantly towards Asuka. Asuka took this as a challenge and pulled Goten to her and French kissed him just as deeply as Ashe kissed Trunks. In moments Asuka broke the kiss and glared at Ashe who frowned.
"You see Ashe that is how its done!" Asuka barked out and Ashe shook her head and then sat in Trunks's lap and began to lick his neck and then his earlobe. Trunks was frozen in shock and was about to object but Ashe had began to suckle on his collarbone and remove his shirt.
Asuka's eyes widened and then narrowed as she grabbed Goten and began to do the same thing to him. This was the moment that Phalli and Bardock walked in on the scene.
"What on Earth is going?" Phalli asked obviously displeased. Trunks and Goten got their senses back and froze in their spots, while Ashe and Asuka jumped off of their respective boyfriends and bowed to Phalli and Bardock.
"It isn't as it seems… we were just…" Ashe thought for a moment and realized that there was no excuse to give. Trunks was being stared at by Bardock and then before he could say anything Phalli growled.
"There will be no mating in my home by any teenagers! I don't care if you do it, but make sure that its not in my home!" Phalli frowned as she walked to her room as Bardock began to follow.
"Trunks, Goten… I know you two know better! If you're going to mate then do it somewhere not on our couch or our living quarters. Phalli, definitely doesn't like it and I know that I don't want to smell such a thing. I'm not saying that you two shouldn't ever mate, but make sure you do it in a very private area." Bardock left as Trunks and Goten remained beet red.
"I guess that's the equivalent to the 'birds and the bees' talk, my mom tried to give to me." Trunks sighed.
I know it was kinda short but I'm just getting back into writing so bare with me! AND REVIEW!
