CHAPTER 3-3VALENTINE DAY SPECIAL3

NOTE TO READERS

I decided I'd do a Valentine's Day special for all you lovey dovey girls.

KENTANA-"Hey Trunks! Happy Valentine's day!"

TRUNKS-"So you got over our fight from the other day?"

KENTANA-"Yah, I guess I can be a little pissy sometimes."

TRUNKS-"So, I'm forgiven."

KENTANA-"I don't know. You called me an ugly banished."

TRUNKS-*Scratches back of head and looks away from her.* "I hope this can make up for it." * He blushes and holds out a bouquet of white and red roses and looks away in embarrassment.*

KATANA-"Oh, Trunks!" *Blushes and smiles sweetly before wrapping her arms around his neck.* "You are so forgiven. This was so sweet of you."

TRUNKS-"So, you accept me as your Valentine?" *Still blushing.*

KATANA-"Yes, I definitely do."

TRUNKS-"Does this entitle me to a Valentine's day kiss?"

KATANA-"We'll see..."

TRUNKS-Zombiechick422 does not own DBZ or its characters. She only owns Kentana.

Kentana got up early that morning and took a warm shower. When she got out she dried herself and got dressed that morning in her black cargo, belt and white tank top. She put her hair out in its usual braids. She walked out into the hallway and bumped into Trunks who was walking out of his room as well. The two exchanged smiles.

"Hey Trunks," she greeted ", you sleep well."

"Uh, yeah," he lied. He didn't think he should tell her about his nightmare. It was just a bar dream anyway. "How are you feeling?"

"Excited. I can't wait for our trip to the mall. I can't wait to see more of Earth." She walked down the hall, tail swinging back anew forth in her happiness.

He followed her down the stairs and into the kitchen that smelled strongly of pancakes. Two dozen pancakes were stacked on plates on the table and Bulma labored over the stove making more. Kentana took a seat at the table and Trunks took the seat next to hers. She pulled a plate with a dozen on it towards herself and bathed it in syrup. She dug in ravenously. Trunks and Bulma were used to her eating more than even Trunks, she was a full blooded saiyan after all. She swallowed the last mouth full which happened to be half the size of her head and sat back with a satisfied belly.

"What are you two off to do today?" Asked Bulma, looking up from her meager two pancakes.

"Trunks promised me he was going to take me to the mall to buy some clothes," replied Kentana.

Bulma cocked her eyebrow at Trunks. He rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows when he shook his head. She smirked and continued eating her pancakes. Kentana looked at the two, trying to decipher their silent conversation to no real success. She gave up, probably an earth thing. After everyone was finished Trunks led her towards the garage.

"So, how are we going to get to the mall?" She asked the demi-saiyan ", will we walk?"

"We're going to drive," he replied.

"What, like ships?"

He opened the door to the dark garage. "I guess you can say that," he flipped on the lights and she gasped when she saw all of the hover cars lined up in the large room. "Which one do you want to take?"

She walked along the row, eyes gleaming as she stared at the expensive vehicles. She stopped at a sleek black Mercedes convertible. She slid her hand along the smooth black surface and admired her reflection in it. She let a smile spread across her lips. "I like this one."

"Good choice." He grabbed a set of keys off a rack above a wrench littered with tools.

"Can I drive," she asked playfully.

"No," he stated firmly.

"Aww," she climbed into the passenger seat and got comfy. As Trunks drove she looked over at everything they passed, her hair blowing in the wind. She liked the feeling, it felt like flying. She could tell the car could go faster but Trunks drove at a relatively slow pace since the streets were crowded with people. This gave Kentana time to examine the scenery.

She noticed people were either running about buying jewelry, flowers or various presents or walking in pairs. Most of the pairs walked hand in hand. She also saw that there were lots of banners reading 'Happy Valentine's day' and heart shaped objects everywhere. This felt odd and out of the normal. When they arrived at the mall she found it was the same there and just about every shop was selling similar in the basics merchandise.

When Trunks led her through the crowds towards a less crowded woman's clothing store she thought it time to ask. "Trunks, what is with all these hearts and card and such?"

He glanced over his shoulder from where he was looking at various sizing dummies that proved no help in picking out her size. "That's because its Valentine's Day."

That was no help at all. "What is Valentine's Day?"

*That's right, she isn't from Earth. "Valentine's day is the one day of the year where you can go all out to prove to your Valentine how much you really like them. It's pretty much a holiday for couples who are in love and such," he explained. He found it odd explaining this since for girls were usually the ones obsessed with the holiday. She listened while picking up a black sleeveless shirt.

"How do you get a Valentine? Is it chosen at random or from some contest?" She asked as she walked over to the changing room where he waited, leaning against the wall next to the door.

"No," he laughed ", you choose your own. If you really like someone you ask them to be your Valentine. If they say no then you have to deal with it and maybe ask someone else."

"Oh, do you have a Valentine?" The question was a little startling, but expected.

"No, I never had time for to find that special someone," he sighed, feeling suddenly depressed at that.*Wait, why am I so upset about that? When have I ever cared about girlfriends?

"Oh, well what do you think?" He looked up and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She wore a white tank top with a black skull in the center of the chest. Then she had black denim shorts over ankle length black and white striped leggings. On her feet were what appeared to be a combat boot styled knee length boots. He couldn't bring himself to do anything but stare with his mouth open. Suddenly he felt the urge to do something that he decided against.

"What, you don't like?" She asked, sounding truly disappointed.

He shook his head quickly ", no, I like it. In fact, if you want you can keep it on and we'll just pay for it this way."

"Okay!" She agreed giddy. She felt oddly happy that he liked it. She grabbed her clothes from the changing room and the rest of the clothes she picked before she followed him to the register. The cashier seemed nervous about having her wear them out, but when Trunks handed him a black card and slipped him a twenty he seemed more than eager to make an exception. Trunks capsuled her clothes as they left the store.

Seeing as they had a lot of time, left he decided to lead her around the mall and maybe get her some more things.

He decided to have some fun and brought her into a popular music store. She seemed to really like listening to it so he bought her an Ipod and set her up with a card with $100 for songs. She thanked him with a big bone shattering hug. He was grateful that since it was Valentine's Day no one thought seeing two young people hugging to be worth staring at. Lucky him since he strangely enjoyed hugs from the saiyan girl. He smirked while she couldn't see it.

She led him to a store he really didn't want to go in, too many girl's undergarments for him to be comfortable. When she noticed how he looked at the ceiling and shuffled his feet while they were in their she told him he could wait outside. He jumped over a baby carriage and nearly flew through the doors. It took about twenty minutes for her to come out with a bag filled with the *things. She smiled sweetly at him as she exited.

"That took longer than I expected," he said.

"That's because I was talking with some of the help in there. All of those employees seemed so eager to help! You should've seen the looks on their faces when I told them the name on the card wasn't mine because I was borrowing it from you. It was funny. Though I'm not sure why, but they all asked if I was dating you."

Trunks found he couldn't smile at the funny part like her. He felt his heart drop as he listened to her tell him about how nice the guys in the store were acting to her. Why did this bother him so much?

"Trunks are you okay?" She asked, concern evident since he had a negative expression on his face. He shook away his thoughts.

"Yes, I'm fine," he forced himself to wear a false smile. "I don't know about you but I'm getting hungry."

She nodded in agreement and they ran off towards the food court. She didn't know what most of the stuff was so they piled three trays with a bunch of everything. She stared at him intensely for a long time after devouring her burger. He noticed and asked what was up.

"Nothing," she lied and took a sip from her large strawberry smoothie. "Actually Trunks there is something. I need some advice."

"On what?" He frowned ", if it is on how to tell your... bra size, ask my mom."

"No," she giggled ", I was going to ask about asking Valentines."

Trunks felt a bit of disappointment. She was going to ask one of the guys from the bra and underwear store, he knew it. "Usually the guy asks the girl for starters."

"I've been waiting for a while for him to ask me, but he doesn't seem to want to so I thought I'd do it. I know a guy that I think I might really like. I'm not sure if he likes me though. I've only known him for a very short time so I don't know what he likes. I'm not sure how to ask him."

"I'm no expert on romance, but describe him to me. So that I can help you figure out how."

"Well, he is really cute and is very nice to me. His hair is a little girly, but I enjoy being around him anyway. He is extremely sweet and I can't help but feel happy when I'm around him," she explained, leaning back in her chair. Trunks looked away from her to hide how upset he was. She really liked this guy and now he has to choose between being the good friend or let his emotions take over. He sighed, he might regret this.

"I can't really figure out much, but I think if you like someone that much you should tell them about how you feel rather than keep it bottled up. Just ask him."

"But what if he says no?" *She, of all people, thought Trunks, *is nervous about this.

"You have nothing to worry about," Trunks spoke only the truth ", you are an amazing girl and any guy dumb enough to turn you down would be the stupidity guy on Earth not to like you as much as I-" he paused, catching himself. He began to sip from his own smooth.

"As much what?"

"Nothing," he sipped nervously, glad she hadn't noticed what he was about to say.

"I guess I'll ask him now," she looked down blushing ", Trunks, will you be my Valentine?" Trunks nearly dropped his smooth. He wanted to fly into the air and do back flip as he holders to the moon about how happy he is. He couldn't stop himself from smiling. "Is that a yes?"

"Yes! Definitely a yes!" He said happily, still smiling ", I find it hard to believe you were waiting for me to ask. I was scared you'd say no."

"Really?" She sounded disbelieving. She leaned towards him ", I can't believe you didn't notice how I liked you."

"You really think of me that way," he mumbled, remembering her description of him ", wait. You think my hair is girl?"

"Sorry, but it is pink," she apologized with a hand on his shoulder. He reached up and placed his hand on top of hers.

"Oh, shut up," he ordered affectionately. She was about to protest when he silenced her with a kiss and for a moment they forgot where they were and how messed up of a world they lived in. When they broke apart they both could admit there own first kiss had been special, with that special someone.

ME-And that's my take on how there first Valentine's day together went. They really like each other and they just met. Kind of strange how books and stories for some reason describe someone as falling in love suddenly and only knowing the person for a short while.

KENTANA-"You know what?" *She hold his hand* "After watching all this I think you do qualify for that Valentine's Day kiss."

TRUNKS-*Blushes and smiles on the inside.*

KENTANA-*She grins and pulls him into a hot smooch.*

TRUNKS-*Pulls away for a moment.* "What about the readers?"

KENTANA-"Fuck the readers! Just end the damn chapter already!"

ME-Okay, I'll leave and give them a moment. I hope you all enjoyed the 3Valentine3 special and have a happy Valentine's Day!
