/N: I know you all probably hate me for not updating in forever, but here is one update at least. I don't know when the next will be, that depends on if you want me to continue this story or not.
Anyway here's chapter 13. Now you finally can se who the date is:o
What happened last time?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What..what are you doing here?" I said still confused with eyes the size of golf balls.
"Well, I'm supposed to be your date" He said with a smile
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I assumed that the person my parents picked for me was someone unknown, someone they just forgot to tell me about over the years. Actually, I thought that the person was going to be really ugly or boring, I thought that it had to be something really wrong with that person since he couldn't get a date.
Well smack me and call me Helen. He was none of the things I thought he would be, I actually kind of knew him already.
"Really? You?" I said questioning.
"You know, THEY want me to be your date" He said and pointed to the living room window where you see the profile of our parents faces wile they where sitting and chatting. His mother looked kind of scary, no, not looked, she more liked seemed scary, you could see that she was suffering from a disease called old age but still had a very nice frame. His dad looked really young but he had this look in his eyes that showed that he was very wise.
"So is that your parents huh? " I said wile sitting on the fence of the porch.
"Yeah, my dad is great a bit clumsy but still, he deserves a bit more credit than he gets. Mom on the other hand she is scary…" he said with several memories flashed though his mind.
"I kind of sensed that." I said with a smile. I knew this wasn't the prefect time for small talk, I really had to talk to him about some important issues. Just as I was about to open my mouth my mum opened the door.
"Pan! There you are! We thought you died or something, take Goten with you and come in !" she demanded. When we didn't move she yelled "NOW!"
I immediately jumped off the fence and Goten looked at me with a horrifying expression.
"I see my mother has made an impact on her" He whispered. I laughed at looked at my mum's angry eyes staring at us.
"And what where you two whispering about? "
"Nothing" We both said in a unison and walked past her in to the living room not knowing what to expect.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stayed quiet for about ten minutes, before I opened my mouth to say something, anything. But I just couldn't seem to find any words. What can you say to something like this? It was just absurd and very wrong.
"So let me get this straight" I said to my parents while rubbing my eyes. " You want me to go to the thingy with him?"
"That was the plan Pan, but I don't see how this is weird for you. He is a nice boy" My mother replied while looking out from the kitchen into the living room where our guests where currently sitting.
"You don't think it's weird that you introduce some strangers and tell me that they are my grand parents. Which you kept from me for no apparent reason. But noooo it doesn't stop there, you also want me to go with my own uncle to the prom. And that's not weird to you?"
My mom shot a glance at my father to make him take a part in this discussion but he had suddenly found the magnets on the refrigerator very interesting and couldn't take his eyes of them. He always did that to avoid confrontation, that was not his best side I guess…might have something to do with his mother being so scary. She probably dropped him on the head when he was a baby. Okay that was a bit mean but you know what I mean.
My mom sighted and turned to me.
" Let me rephrase that. I agree that it's a bit weird-"
"Videl! That was not the plan…." Dad cut mum off.
"Now it's suits you to enter the conversation. Let me finish what I was going to say and then you can talk my dear husband." My mum said sarcastically.
"Your grandparents have been out ..eh…travelling so to say for a while now and Goten doesn't know anything about this city or this way to live. We didn't plan for everything to turn out this way but they did. We just thought that since you don't have a date, and he is new here, you can learn a few things from each other"
"And what if I already have a date?"
I can't believe she just said that, as if she figured that I would never be good enough to have a date, I am to childish, to stubborn, to small, to….to strange.
"You don't have one" She stated.
"As a matter of fact I have one" I said crossing my hands.
My mum looked at me as tough I was lying to her. But I didn't. For the first time I actually have a lot of things going good in my life and of course they have to ruin that for me. I was so mad that I curled my fists up and stared at them with my evil eyes. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and a face popped up beside mine.
"She's quite powerful this one" the face belonging to Goten's dad said.
" No, We talked about this dad. Not her" My dad said.
" But it's a waste of power" He whined. That guy actually whined to my dad. He reminded me a bit of myself while doing that.
" Maybe we should leave the kids alone for a second. To talk things trough. " My mum said and glared at me.
They all left the kitchen except me and Goten. How where we suppose to talk things trough? I want to go with Trunks. But at the same time I feel kind of guilty, I mean Goten does not have that many friends. I couldn't fail him now. Gahhh, I don't know what to do.
" You know Goten I already have a…." My voice trailed of.
"What?" He said. I bit my tongue and sighted.
" Are you hungry?"
"I'm starving" He said as I opened my refrigerator
---------------------------------------------------
My stomach was getting really warm from having had the laptop on there for almost an hour. I was waiting for Trunks to sign in on msn. I didn't want to call him, I couldn't face him right now either. He might help me solve this.
Suddenly I saw his name on the screen and my heart skipped a beat.
Panny: Hey!
Sexything: Hi Pan.
Sexything: So you're back now, you left kind of hastily before…
Panny: Yeah , that's what I wanted to talk to you about now.
Sexything : Sure, talk.
Panny: Well, I have a date for the summer prom.
Sexything: yes I know. Me
Panny: No but I mean another date
Sexything: But you said that you didn't have a date?
Panny: I know but now I do.
Sexything: So you left to go and get another date?
Panny: No, it's not like that
Sexything: So what is it like then. Suddenly you don't wanna go with me or what?
Panny : I do wanna go with you, don't think otherwise.
Sexything: But you want to go with this other guy more than me?
Panny: Look, it's complicated. And why are you getting so mad?
Sexything: Of course it's complicated….it always is.
Panny: But answer my question why are you getting so mad?
Sexything: Why do you think?
Sexything: It doesn't even matter. Go with your other date. I don't want any part of this anymore. I'm done
Sexything has singed off.
