Sorry for the wait. I've been working on another story lately. So here is chapter 3.

Enjoy and review.


Chapter 3

Trunks groaned as Kimi dragged him shopping. Yes it was for his best friend, but he hated shopping. Why did I agree to this? Kimi dragged him into Plank's, a material arts equipment store.

Trunks stayed near the front of the store as Kimi went towards the back. He glanced around him. This was one of the better shops, not his favorite, but one of the better ones for equipment. He walked towards a new type of wrist and ankle weight set. He looked it over.


Kimi glanced over at the clothes. Goten did need something new to train in. Of course she did as well. Her dad and sneaked her some extra money to get her something. Kimi smiled as she remembered when she picked Trunks up.

Both Bulma and Vegeta had given her money. Even they knew she needed a new training wardrobe. Kimi smiled as she looked through the clothing.

Kimi finally pulled a tunic and pants each in a very girly pink for herself. She had known coming into the store that she wouldn't find anything for Goten in here. This was her favorite store. Goten's was Trunks's. Kimi walked to the front of the store to pay for her purchases.


Trunks sighed near the entrance of the store. He glanced over at the register. Kimi was buying something. Great we have to be finished. I can go home now. He watched as Kimi said good-bye and headed toward him with her newly purchased items in a bag.

"Are we finished?"

"Nope. These are for me courtesy of your parents and my dad. Come on I want to get to Harahro's before the lunch rush. I'm buying come on."

Trunks followed her out of the store and down the street to their favorite restaurant.


Trunks and Kimi sat in the corner booth at Harahro's. The waitress had taken their orders as soon as she had seen them walk in the door. She smiled as she placed their drinks in front of them.

"Are you two finally dating?"

Kimi glanced at Trunks. "Sorry, Tish, we aren't."

"Ah, too bad. I still think you two would be a good couple."

Tish walked away leaving the two teenagers alone. Trunks groaned.

"This what I need her thinking we need to date."

"I know. I mean most people who have seen us today probably think that."

Trunks sank in his seat. "I didn't want to hear that."

"Sorry. At least we haven't fought in awhile."

"I know, but something is going to happen soon and we'll have a fight."

"Then everyone will run and hide."

Trunks smiled. "They almost always have." Trunks took a slip of his drink and then gestured toward the bag. "What did you get?"

"Some new training clothes. My old ones are too small."

Trunks nodded.

Sometime later, Tish arrived with their food. Two ate quickly and left a nice tip for Tish. After paying, Kimi asked Trunks, which of the shops was Goten's favorite.

"It's Brato."

"Brato, huh? I have no idea where that is."

"Come on. I'll show you."


Trunks led Kimi down a normal looking street and into a normal shop. But inside it was filled to the brim with material arts equipment. Kimi glanced over at Trunks.

"And I thought Plank's was good."

"Most people don't know about this place. Goten and I found it by helping the owner when he opened. He gives us a discount."

"Think he might give one to me?"

"Maybe. Come on, he might know something to get Goten."

Trunks introduced to Kimi to Ratro, a middle age man. After hearing Kimi was Goten's twin sister, he declared she got the same discount. Also he knew exactly what to get Goten.

"He has had his eye on that."

"So with my new discount how much is it?"

"A lot less."


Trunks returned home. After leaving Brato, Kimi had to leave and head for home. He walked into the living room and crashed on the sofa. His little sister walked in and jumped on his lap.

"Where have you been?"

"I went shopping with Kimi."

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"No! Who said that?"

"Dad. He said you should be dating her. I like her Trunks. More so than the last girl."

Trunks grinned. "Of course you do. Sorry, Bulla, I'm not dating Kimi and I don't plan to."

"I think you will. She's perfect."

Bulla scooted off of Trunks's lap and raced toward the bedrooms. Trunks sighed. Just what I need everyone thinking I need to date Kimi.


Kimi raced up to her room and hid the bags from her shopping trip. She sat on the floor of her room and smiled. Something has changed. I know it. We haven't had a fight in weeks. I don't really want to fight with him. I don't get it.

Kimi sighed and stood up. She went down stairs to help her mother cook dinner.


Chi-chi smiled at her daughter. She believed her daughter was becoming what she wanted. Now she just need to find her a good decent boyfriend and keep her way from Trunks. Not that Trunks was a bad boy, she just didn't want her daughter dating him.

She wanted her daughter to have a normal husband just as her brother had a normal wife.

Chi-chi sighed as Goten and Goku came. The family ate their meal in peace. Not knowing what was coming.
