Chapter 10: Falling in love(maybe) and Meeting the Saiya-jin prince

Hey again everyone! Thanks again for the reviews! I tried to make this chapter longer for everyone!

I don't own dbz or sm…

After their long conversation, Trunks and Serena decided to meet up with Bulma and Bulla. They found them in line in Lord and Taylor's.

"Oh, hey guys, we'll leave right after this. We just have to pay for all of this stuff." Bulla said with an arm full of clothes.

Trunks and Serena nodded and went outside of the store to wait for them.

"This is so boring!" Trunks complained, causing Serena to giggle.

"Well you are the one who wanted to come with us."

"Don't remind me…"

"Well you didn't have to come."

"I know."

"So, why did you?"

"No reason."

"Trunks?"

"Yea?"

"I think that you are lying to me," Serena stated to him matter-of-factly. She looked at him and found that he had a dumbfounded expression causing her to burst into a fit a giggles.

Trunks looked down at the laughing girl. He really wasn't expecting that line to be thrown back at him. He had just said it to her not a whole…twenty minutes ago! He didn't get a chance to reply as his mother and sister walked out of the store.

"Well, the mall is about to close, are you two ready to go?" Bulma asked.

"Yes," everyone replied.

45 minutes later…

"Well, we're home!" Bulma said as she popped open the trunk of the car, jumped out and walked in the house, followed by her daughter. Trunks sighed. They left him to get the bags. He went to the trunk of the car a started gathering up bags.

"Do you need any help?"

Trunks turned around to see Serena walking towards him. He smiled slightly before replying.

"No, I got it."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive," Trunks said as he gathered the last bags from the car, "I'm used to this."

"Well, okay," Serena replied. She closed the trunk for him. He thanked her and they walked into the house side-by-side.

"Trunks, sweetie, please take Serena's bags up and show her to her room, and put our bags in our rooms while I prepare dinner," Bulma said to her son.

"Sure mom," Trunks said as he started walking up the stairs, "I'll be back and then I'll show you to your room."

"Okay," Serena said.

Trunks first put his mother's bags in her room. He then walked to his sister's room and dropped(literally) her bags in front of the door. 'What the hell do I look like, a maid? She is more than capable of bringing her own bags in her room.' Trunks thought as he went back downstairs.

In the kitchen…

"Tell me the truth, Serena, did you really have fun?" Bulma asked the too-shy young woman.

"Yes, today was very fun," Serena told the woman, sincerely.

"Good," Bulma said, getting ingredients from her refrigerator and pantry to start dinner.

"Are you ready to see your room?" Trunks asked Serena, looking down at her.

"Oh, umm, sure," Serena replied blushing, causing Bulma and Bulla to exchange glances.

Trunks walked out of the kitchen, followed by Serena. Bulma and Bulla then started up a random conversation.

Where Trunks and Serena are

Trunks walked up the stairs, followed by Serena. Trunks was carrying her bags and Serena was looking around the house in awe. It was huge, no it was gigantic, but beautiful. The decorations were gorgeous. 'If the hallway is this big, then I wonder how big the room is going to be.' Trunks then stopped and turned towards a door. He opened it and Serena was instantly amazed at what she saw.

The room was huge! It had baby blue wallpaper adorned with different pictures from famous artists. The bed was also big, it had to be king-sized! Next to the bed was an oak nightstand table. On the other side of the room, was an oak dresser that had a vanity mirror attached to it. Across from the bed was a plasma tv on the wall. She had always wanted on of those! There were also other various decorations in the room. She continued to look around in awe until Trunks broke her from her stupor.

"I see you like it," he said smiling and walking over to put her bags down by her bed.

"Yes, it's amazing! I've never had a room like this before! I've always seen rooms like these on tv and wanted one."

"Well, now you have one."

"But, it technically isn't my room. I mean, it's just temporary until I get back on my feet," Serena replied sadly, looking down. Trunks then walked over to her and stood in front of her. He grabbed her chin lightly so that she could look at him in the eyes.

"Well, until then, it is your room and this is your home, okay?" Trunks whispered, his face close to hers.

"But Trunks, I can't stay here forever! I mean, I would love to but it just wouldn't work out."

"Why wouldn't it?" Trunks asked her, moving closer to her. His face now mere inches from hers, causing her breathing to become unsteady.

"Well, we barely know each other," Serena replied looking him dead in the eye.

"Wouldn't you like to get to know each other better?" Trunks asked the young blonde barely above a whisper. Trunks leaned in closer as did Serena. Serena closed her eyes, ready for him to kiss her. Trunks was just about to when:

"Trunks, you big dumb idiot! You didn't even have the decency to bring my bags in my room. I almost tripped over them trying to get into my room!"

Trunks sighed as he and Serena moved away from each other. He ran a hand through his hair and rolled his eyes.

"Then why don't you look where you're going?" Trunks yelled, highly annoyed not because his sister had interrupted him, but because he couldn't control his hormones. He took one last look at Serena before he left her room.

Serena sighed and shook her head to clear her thoughts, or lack thereof. 'What just happened? Did he just almost kiss me? Ugh, what is wrong with me, I barely even know him and yet we just almost shared a kiss.' Serena shook her head once again and began putting her new wardrobe in the draws.

In the hallway…

"Trunks, you are such an ignoramus sometimes!" Bulla yelled at her brother.

"It's not even that serious for you to be yelling!" Trunks yelled back.

"Yes it is!"

"No it's not!"

"It is!"

"It's not!"

"Is!"

"Is not!"

"What the hell is going on here!" Came a gruff voice from behind the arguing siblings, causing them to pause in their argument.

"Dad!" Trunks and Bulla exclaimed at the same time.

"Uh, why aren't you in the gravity room?" Bulla bravely asked her father, receiving a glare, but not an intense one.

"I could ask you and your brother the same thing," Vegeta smoothly replied.

"Well we went to the mall today," Bra said happily, "with his new girlfriend!"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow at his son. 'New girlfriend? Why wasn't I informed of such things!'

"She's not my girlfriend," Trunks replied calmly, a little too calmly if you ask Bulla, but she ignored it, she would have plenty of opportunities to annoy him later. She figured she would fill her dad in on everything that's been happening. "Guess where he found her…" Bulla said walking with her father downstairs, telling him everything that went on the past two days. Trunks sighed; this was just what he needed.

"Dinner's ready!" came his mother's voice traveling through the entire house. He turned his head towards the hallway that contained Serena's room and sighed again. He then left and went to the kitchen.

Serena saw Trunks looking towards her room. She thought she had been spotted spying on him. She left her room after she was sure Trunks had made it to the kitchen.

At dinner…

As the night before, the only seat that was left for Serena was directly beside Trunks. She sighed and made her way over to her seat. She noticed that this time there was another man sitting joining him at the table. She grabbed a plate and took her seat.

"Serena, this is my husband, Vegeta," Bulma told the young woman.

Serena bowed slightly and said very respectfully and shyly, "Nice to meet you." Vegeta smirked.

"Likewise," he replied, causing Bulma, Bulla, and Trunks to look at him as he had grown another head.

"You're being nice to her?" Bulla exclaimed.

"And your point is?"

"Well, usually Trunks or Bulla have company over that you don't know you are usually…well…yourself," Bulma said, putting her hand on her husband's head checking to see if maybe he's got a fever.

"I am myself," Vegeta said, eyebrow twitching, getting annoyed at his wife.

"Maybe he skipped a meal?" Bulla said, trying to supply an answer for her father's weird behavior.

"I'm fine," Vegeta said swatting at Bulma's hand.

"Maybe he took a blow to the head?" Trunks said.

"I'm fine," Vegeta said through clinched teeth, patience wearing thin.

"Maybe-" Bulma started, but was abruptly cut off by Vegeta.

"Dammit, I said I'm FINE!" Vegeta yelled, jumping from his seat and slamming his hands on the table, causing the legs to break and causing Serena to move over to Trunks, unconsciously seeking comfort.

Everyone was quiet for a moment. Bulma was the first to break the silence.

"Dammit Vegeta, that's the third one this month! Can't you go a day without destroying everything in your path!" Bulma yelled at her husband.

"Only if you could go a day without annoying the hell out of me!" Vegeta retorted.

"Well maybe I would annoy you if you would act more civilized!"

"I AM civilized, more so than you!"

"Why you-"

At this, Trunks, Serena, and Bulla left the kitchen.

"Who's up for takeout?" Trunks asked.
