Hi again everyone! Thanks for reviewing again, it makes me so happy! Thanks to moontenshi01 for letting me know Trunks' sister real name. I had heard so many things and wasn't quite sure. I think the dubbed version of dbz messed me up. I think they called her "Bulla" or "Bura" or something like that. Anyway, thanks for correcting me. I will continue to use "Bulla" since I've already started. Thanks again.
Disclaimer: I don't own dbz or sailormoon…
Before leaving, Trunks phoned his secretary to let her know that he was taking the rest of the day off. After doing so, Trunks, Serena, and Bulla finally emerged from Trunks' office. Bulla was in front of both of them, rambling about how much fun they were going to have. Trunks and Serena were behind her, just listening to her ramble. Trunks rolled his eyes and Serena just smiled. She then decided to start up a conversation with Trunks.
"This is a really big company. Are you the boss of this entire company?"
"No, actually my mother is. I've just been helping her out more."
"That's nice of you. It must be hard on her running this entire company by herself."
"Yea, it's very tiring. I remember at times, she would spend the night in her office just to meet deadlines."
"Wow, your mom is a very dedicated woman. How long has this company been around?"
"I'm not sure, but I do know that it's been in our family even before she was born! Capsule Corporation is one of the biggest companies in the world." Trunks said, proudly.
"That's really impressive." Serena replied. 'No wonder Mrs. Brie- I mean Bulma told me not to worry about having no money.'
"Yea, I guess. I just don't like how it cuts into my personal life. I barely get to see my friends anymore, but I'll do anything to help my mother."
'He's so sweet. Why couldn't I meet him sooner?' She blushed at what she just thought and kept her vision straight ahead.
Trunks looked down at her and smiled. 'I wonder what she's thinking about.' Trunks thought as he looked down at her. Bulla then stopped ad turned around causing Trunks and Serena to stop their stride. They both looked at her curiously until she decided to speak.
"Trunks, I was wondering, why did you want to come with us all of a sudden? You usually put up a bigger fight." Bulla asked her big brother and looked at him skeptically. Trunks knew where this was going and decided to tread lightly. He couldn't just come out and tell his sister that he wanted to get closer to the blonde beauty. So naturally, he decided to make up a good excuse.
"Well, you did beg me to come so obviously my presence is desired." Trunks replied arrogantly, thinking this was a good excuse. However Bulla didn't buy it.
"Yea, but when mom and I ask you to come with us, you make up every excuse in the world not to come!"
"Well, I wanted to get away from work. I wasn't planning on staying the whole day." That wasn't exactly a lie, he did want to get away from 'these ignorant bastards that can't do shit without me,' as he so bluntly put it. Man, now he knew why his mother always went home tired! Her employers were incompetent. He bet that he could run this entire company by himself alone, but he wouldn't voice it out loud. His mother usually had a knack for proving him wrong. She would talk to her employers and tell them to stay home a couple of days so he could see how wrong he was. He sighed. His sister was always trying to prove him wrong just like his mother.
"Big brother?"
"Yes?"
"I think that you're lying to me," Bra stated matter-of-factly causing Serena to burst out on giggles. Trunks on the other hand was not amused.
"Why would you think that?" He asked, annoyed.
"Because you didn't want to come until I said Serena would like it if you came."
"And, your point is?"
"My point is that you're not coming with us just to leave work, you're coming with us so that you cold keep an eye on Serena!"
Trunks was shocked. 'Damn, why couldn't she be dumb!"
Serena on the other hand blushed and looked at Trunks, seeing shock written across his features, causing her to go into shock. 'He wants to keep an eye on me? Why?'
Bulla then added, "Yep, that's it! You want to accompany us to the mall to keep an eye on Serena. You want to make sure that no other man tries to pick her up! It's written all over your face, big brother!" Bulla then winked at her brother and ran off.
Trunks just looked at his sister's fleeting back and sighed. She was most likely going to tell their mother. Trunks then turned to Serena.
"Are you ready?" he asked her.
"Yea, um Trunks, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Why is it that you decided to come with us after Bulla said I would like if you came?'
Trunks was speechless. What should he say? He then decided to give her one of the excuses that he gave his sister.
"I just wanted to get out of work earlier, that's all," he replied looking down at her. He looked at her and saw a hint of sadness on her face but was quickly masked by an indifferent facade. He was shocked to say the least. 'Why would she be sad at my answer?' He then shrugged it off and they kept moving.
Trunks and Serena finally made it back to the living wing of the building. Bulla and Bulma were waiting for the two by the door.
"It's about time!" Bulla exclaimed. "Now come on, we want to beat the traffic!"
Everyone walked out the door and towards the garage and got in Bulma's sports-hover car and took off.
