It was about a half-hour drive to the mall. Bulma was driving, Bulla was in the front passenger seat rambling about what she wanted to buy, and Trunks and Serena were in the back seat. Serena was looking intently out the window, taking in all of her surroundings. Trunks, on the other hand, was looking rather bored and decided to close his eyes and rest up, he was going to need it.
"Trunks wake up, we're here." Trunks opened his eyes and saw a pair of crystal-blue eyes looking at him. 'She really has pretty eyes, unlike any I've ever seen before,' he thought to himself. He then got out of the car, followed by Serena.
"So, what's the game plan?" Serena asked looking at her companions. Trunks shrugged while the other two women looked at her and smiled evilly, unnerving Serena a bit.
"First on the agenda is to buy you a whole new wardrobe," Bulma said
"It's not really necessary…I-" Serena started but was interrupted.
"Yes it is! If you're going to be staying with us, then you must have your own clothes. You're my friend and all but I really don't like sharing my clothes."
"Staying with you?"
"Yea, of course! Where else were you going to stay?"
Serena was confused. How could they just offer their house to her without even really knowing her? Come to think of it, she hasn't even known them for a full day, yet they opened their house to her, no questions asked! It just didn't make any sense to her!
"Serena, I don't mind you staying with us. You can stay as long as you want! In fact, it'll be fun having another woman around the house, especially when Bulla goes back to school tomorrow." Bulma said.
"Yea, Sere, please? I'm sure not only mom will enjoy the company, but Trunks, also," Bulla said while winking at her brother, causing Bulma to laugh and Trunks to glare at his sister.
Serena just smiled, "Well, I guess I could stay…"
"Great, now let's go!"
Bulla grabbed Serena and started running towards the mall. Bulma smiled and walked after while Trunks just looked and sighed. He could already tell he was going to get a workout in carrying bags.
In the Guess store at the mall…
"Wow, Sere, you would look so cute in this, oh and this, this one, too, and you do need some swimsuits…" Bulla said as she picked up outfit after outfit for Serena to try on. She threw each outfit into Serena's arms.
"Serena, over here!" Bulma yelled. Serena went over to where Bulma was and was overwhelmed as Bulma dropped clothes into her hands. Trunks just stood back and started laughing. 'Poor girl; she seems so helpless. Wait a second! I'm the one that's going to have to carry all of those bags. Shit! Why the hell did I even agree to come? Oh, yeah, I wanted to make sure everything was going to be alright. Why do I have to-' Trunks' thoughts were interrupted by his mother's voice.
"Trunks, honey, we're going to the fitting room with Serena. Are you going to be right there or do you want to wait for us outside of the room?"
Trunks was about to wait where he was standing but then saw women checking him out. He then sighed. "I'm coming."
By the fitting room…
It was about a half hour since the three women went into the dressing room. Trunks was as bored as one could get. He was over in a corner scowling at everything and everyone. He would have had better fun at work. On top of that, he was hungry! He had skipped breakfast, which really wasn't the brightest thing for him to do. Maybe that was why he was in such a bad mood. That or he really hated the mall with a passion. Trunks sighed for the umpteenth time that day. He should've been home working, eating, training. 'Oh, no! I haven't trained in three days! Shit, dad's going to be pissed at me!' Trunks screamed in his head. He sighed once again, thinking of the pain he was going to go through. Whenever Trunks missed a day of training, his father made sure to give him an extra workout. He had better rest up now and get his fill of food because he was going to be training for a while. 'Why do I always bring these things on myself?'
Trunks then looked up as the three women finally made it out of the dressing room laughing and talking about something. Trunks just shook his head. Bulla noticed her brother and smiled.
"Having fun, big bro?"
"The time of my life," he replied, sarcastically.
"So glad to hear it," Bulla replied, not paying her brother's sarcasm any attention. "Anyway, we're going to pay for everything now and then we're going to eat, ok?"
"Whatever," Trunks said as her went to stand outside of the store to wait for the three women. Although he was grouchy, he was actually happy that they were getting along.
"Ok, we're ready! Now, let's eat!" Bulla exclaimed as she passed Trunks, carrying her bags and skipping out of the store. Bulma smiled at her daughter and walked after her, carrying her own bags. Serena was next and was barely managing with all of her bags. Trunks, being the gentleman that he was, went over to help her. He grabbed most of her bags.
"Thanks," Serena said smiling up at her.
"No problem," Trunks replied smiling back at her.
Up in front of them Bulma and Bulla stopped and smiled at each other when they saw Trunks and Serena smiling at each other. They quickly turned and began walking like nothing happened when the couple turned towards them and started walking.
Trunks, of course, noticed this but didn't mind. He just continued to walk beside the blonde woman, causing most of the women that saw them to either sigh at how lucky the girl was of either glare at them with envy. Even some of the guys glared at Trunks with envy at seeing who he was with, causing Trunks to smirk and move closer to Serena. She noticed but decided not to say anything of it. She didn't mind it; she actually felt honored that this man, whom she barely knew was protective over her, more so than he fiancée was. She frowned at the thought and brushed it aside. The two finally caught up to Bulma and Bulla and walked behind them until they finally reached the food court. They found a table to sit at, which was close by a window. Trunks and Serena decided to wait with the bags while Bulma and Bulla went to go get their food. Trunks decided to start up a conversation.
"Are you having fun so far?" he asked her.
"Oh, yes, your mother and sister are too funny."
"I'm glad you guys are getting along."
"Yea, your sister is really funny though."
"I'm glad you think so," Trunks replied sarcastically.
"Awe, come on Trunks, she means no harm," Serena replied playfully.
"I know, but she can be extremely annoying."
"Hey, I heard that!" Bulla exclaimed as her and her mother came back to the table carrying their food. Serena was a little shocked at all of the food they were carrying. Seeing her face Bulla quickly decided to say something.
"Um, I have a really big appetite!" Bulla exclaimed causing Serena to just shake her head.
"Come on, Sere, let's go get our food," Trunks said getting up from the table.
"Awe, you're calling her 'Sere' now." Bulla said and winked at her brother as Serena got up from the table and walked towards him.
Trunks rolled his eyes as he and Serena started walking towards a pizza store and whispered to Serena.
"See what I mean?" Trunks asked her, exasperated causing Serena to giggle.
