High school (dbz fanfic)

Chapter 24

"So, it's all settled", Tarble said to Suri. "You can come over to my house with me this weekend and you can meet my dad after your debate".

"Sounds good to me. I can't wait to meet your father", Suri said to Tarble excitedly.

"I should warn you my dad's got a bit of a temper and he might not know what to think of you".

At this, Suri looked slightly hurt.

"I meant that my dad's not very good at talking to women", Tarble added quickly, feeling bad that he had hurt his girlfriend's feelings.

"Tarble, I'm meeting your dad, not marrying him", Suri giggled.

As the words left his girlfriend's mouth, Tarble blushed slightly.

"Yeah, I guess you're right", the fifteen-year-old Saiyan chuckled nervously.

...

"I'm not sure what my father will think of you", Vegeta said to Hisana. "You see, he's not very good at talking to women".

"I know how you feel", Hisana laughed. "My dad's the same way".

"Do you have a mom?" Vegeta asked.

Hisana shook her head.

"Mom left me and Dad when I was about three, so for the past thirteen years, it's just been me and Dad", she explained. "I didn't know her that well".

Vegeta didn't know what to say. So, Hisana understood what it was like to have lost a parent as a young child and not remember them that well.

"What about you?" Hisana asked.

Vegeta didn't answer.

"If you don't want to talk about it, I understand", Hisana said after a moment of silence.

Vegeta nodded. He didn't feel like opening up to her, even if she was his girlfriend.

"Okay then", Hisana said after realizing Vegeta wasn't going to say anything.

"So, what are you thinking of doing this weekend?" Hisana asked, hastily changing the subject.

"Well, a friend of mine is throwing a New Year's Party at her house", Vegeta answered.

"Wow, cool", Hisana said thoughtfully. "Are you bringing me?"

"Maybe", Vegeta answered as if he didn't really know. But the grin on the Saiyan prince's face gave it away.

"Yay! My boyfriend's taking me to his friend's party!" Hisana cheered, giving Vegeta a hug.

Vegeta did and said nothing.

Hisana was very emotional at times, and she would hug Vegeta or kiss the prince on the cheek. Other times she would just sit with him in silence.

...

"So, aside from me meeting your dad, are there any other plans for us this weekend?" Suri asked Tarble.

"Yeah, my friend Bulma's having a party at her house on Saturday and she said I could bring you", Tarble answered. "My brother and all our friends'll be there too".

"Sounds like fun", Suri said. "I get to meet your dad, your brother, and your friends all in one weekend".

"I like the way you look at things, Suri", Tarble said.

Suri smiled.

...

Bulma sat in her room, staring out the window and thinking.
