Trunks First Date
It was about 6pm in the Brief household. Trunks was upstairs getting ready for his first big date, Bulma was in the kitchen, preparing dinner for the rest of the family, Bra was in her room, talking to some friends on the phone, Vegeta was out training, which left Trunks new girlfriend, Rini, alone in the front room with Vixen.
Vixen sat staring at Rini with her large, black eyes, causing the half Saiyan to look at the ground awkwardly. The only sound that could be heard was Vixen tapping her fingers impatiently, and the clock ticking silently in the corner.
"So." Vixen asked, causing the young girl to jump "How long have you and Trunks known each other." Rini fiddled with the button on her pink cardigan awkwardly.
"Well… in this timeline… about a month." Vixen raised an eyebrow, making Rini feel like she had just said something very wrong.
"That’s not very long. I have known him since he was just a little child."
"That’s nice." Rini tried to smile.
"What are you implying?" Vixen said sharply, causing Rini to jump once more.
"Umm… nothing.. I just thought that.."
"Maybe you should think more carefully." Vixen growled. Rini sat a bit more upright in her seat as she noticed for the first time the fangs in this strange girls mouth. Rini looked away, deciding that maybe being quiet was the best option. Vixen just stared.
‘What is with her..’ Rini thought ‘She’s acting like his parent or something, I mean, who is she?’
‘How can they think this girl good enough to date Trunks. He should be going out with someone his own age!’ Vixen continued drumming her long nails on the table. ‘I can’t believe how laid back Bulma is about this….’ Rini tried not to look at Vixen, fearing this strange woman. Somehow she felt, that even though she was probably stronger than her, she had a look in her eye similar to the look that Chichi got sometimes. She smiled slightly as she remembered this one time Chichi…
"What are you smiling about?" Vixen said.
"Oh.. I was… just thinking about something…."
"About what?"
"Just this person I know"
"Is it Trunks?"
"No"
"Because I am telling you now, if it is Trunks, then you had better be careful about what you’re thinking."
"What?"
"I know what you girls are like." ‘I used to be the same’ Vixen thought silently, although none of this came through on her expression. Bulma walked in the room and laid some drinks down onto the coffee table.
"Hey you guys! It’s really quiet in here." Rini was about to reply, when Vixen shot her a cold glare that could have frozen molten lava. Bulma paused for a moment, and then sighed loudly.
"Damn, I forgot my drink. Could you go through and get it for me Vixen?"
"Sure…" Vixen stood up, and slowly walked out the room, not taking her eyes of Rini the whole time. Finally the door shut behind them. Rini let out a sigh of relief.
"God…"
"Has she been giving you a hard time?" Bulma asked. Rini nodded.
"What is up with her?" Bulma sighed.
"She’s known Trunks since he was very small, he was her first real friend. She is very protective over him."
"Protective isn’t the word…." Rini muttered under her breath. At that moment the door swung open, and Trunks walked in.
"Ok, I’m ready." He smiled, Rini leapt up, hoping to get out the door before Vixen returned.
"OK you guys, don’t stay out too late." Bulma followed them to the door. Vixen ran in from the kitchen and stood next to Bulma, shouting orders as the two walked down the road.
"And don’t talk to any strangers, don’t drink anything alcoholic, don’t go to the cinema, it is too dark in there! And make sure that girl keep s her tail to herself!!" Vixen yelled, being blatantly ignored by the two as they started to fly away. She sighed as she shut the door, before turning back to Bulma.
"They grow up so fast, don’t they.." she sighed. Bulma just shook her head and walked away, laughing slightly as she did.
"If she acts like this over Trunks, who knows what she’ll be like with poor Bardock!" Vixen stood silently, worrying over what that Rini girl might be doing with Trunks at this very moment I time. The door violently swung open, almost knocking Vixen in the face, and Vegeta stormed in, still hot and sweaty from training. He paused before looking at Vixen quizzically, as she was giving him a very stern stare.
"Are you even aware that at this moment in time, your son is out doing who knows what with some strange girl!!" Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Vixen.
"Are you implying I don’t know what my son is doing?? Because I am telling you now, I know exactly what Trunks is doing!!" Vegeta stormed away and walked into the kitchen where Bulma was trying to figure out which way to chop some lettuce.
"Bulma, what is Trunks doing tonight?" He asked.
Vixen still stood at the door, considering whether or not to wait till he got back.
"I just care that’s all…" she sighed, before slowly turning away to go up to her room. "Wait!" she yelled, causing Bulma to glance out from the kitchen. "What if he forgot to bring something warm!! It can get cold at night!" She ran towards the door, ready to take off.
"OH NO you don’t!" Bulma yelled, grabbing Vixen by her collar and pulling her into the front room, where she pushed her onto a settee. "You are staying right here. Leave Trunks and Rini alone. They are both responsible and mature." Bulma left the room with Vixen muttering angrily under her breath. She let out one last sigh.
"I just care, that’s all…"
