Are We Next?

Awaiting the News

It was nearly midnight in West City. The lights began to dim as everyone started on their way homes from work or nights on the town. The light pollution going from 100 to 0 in a matter of minutes. Though the city began to fall asleep anxious waiting roared through Capsule Corp as the Brief family awaited some news. 

In the living room a young adult girl with aqua hair, and blue eyes sporting a long grey night shirt and red shorts with red slippers fanned the curtains open and closed. Her eyebrows furred and crooked getting rather impatient. 

"Ugh!" she groaned.

"Come ON Trunks. Get back already." She angerly tapped her foot. 

"Bulla, you can't wait there forever. Give it time. They've been together for so long I don't see her saying no!" another aqua haired woman approached wearing a lime green robe and slippers to match.  The older blunette poured another cup of tea. 

"Mom, its been hours! They haven't even texted!" Bulla scrunched her nose at the thought of her best friend and her brother keeping her in the dark.  Suddenly, Bulla sensed energy near by as the door swung open.

"Are they back yet? What did she say??" a clueless yet cheerful voice rang through the living room. The voice belonged to a tall dark haired halfling who also so happened to be just as impatient as Bulla. 

"Not yet. Goten, next time, knock, will ya?" Bulla growled. 

"Sorry, B. It's been hours and I haven't heard anything from Trunks yet. I'm getting rather antsy." The sweet Son rubbed the back of his neck turning a little pink from embarrassment.

"Goten!" Bulla's mother called out handing the two young adults a cup of tea. "Glad you could join us!"

"How are you, Bulma? It's good to see you." Goten took a sip of his tea. looking around the room. 

"Where's Vegeta?" Goten asked

Bulma rolled her eyes. 

"Either gravity room or bed. He doesn't have interest in Shelly. The whole Saiyans vs Tuffle thing." 

Bulla chimed in

"Which I still think is stupid because Shelly wasn't born a tuffle. She was turned into one."

"Doesn't matter." Bulma mocked her husband. 

Vegeta was always skeptical of Shelly considering her unfortunate past. She was kidnapped and turned into a tuffle hybrid called "Mystican" She lost memory and conscience for a few days and fought the Z fighters. ever since Vegeta was suspicious. Even though she is stable and regained her memory and conscience. 

"Well, while we wait, maybe we can watch a movie?" Goten glanced at Bulla who blushed a little. 

"That's fine by me, I don't plan on falling asleep anytime soon." Bulla glanced at the clock that read 12:45am she sat down on the couch and started roaming through the movie apps. 

"Yeah, me neither!" Goten plopped down next to Bulla putting both arms along the back of the couch. All it took was for Bulla to catch his arm in her prefrail view for her cheeks to turn the same shade as her slippers. He was a bit close. Bulma who was sitting at the chair next to the couch, giggled at the sight. Goten knew exactly what he was doing. Or did he?

"What do we watch?" Bulla asked the two. "I am kind of in the mood for romance.."

"Me too!" Bulma replied.  They both turned to Goten who groaned a little. "Romances can be so boring though. Why not an action! like a superhero movies!" Bulla and Bulma looked at each other and then at Goten who sighed.

"Fine.. Romance. but im not gonna like it." Bulla squealed with happiness and clicked on one of her favorite movies. The Notebook. She pressed play then leaned back forgetting that the younger Son's arm was still there now curled around Bulla's shoulder on impulse. Yeah, he's definetly done this before. 

By the end of the movie both Bulma and Bulla had a tissue in their hand from crying. Goten, however was hysterically sobbing. 

"Why! No! that was them the whole time!!?? He *sniff* read her their whole *sniff* love story!! How b-b-beautiful!!!!" Bulla and Bulma paused to watch as Goten blew his nose into a new tissue. 

Right as Bulla checked the time that now read nearly 3am, the door swung open and a young adult female with Black hair pulled back into a pony tail, blue bangs, a purple crop top and jeans walked through the door with shiny purple heels in her right hand.

All three jumped out of their seat and ran to the girl who just arrived. 

"FINALLY YOU'RE BACK" Bulla yelled at the girl who just giggled. 

"Im sorry!" She spoke. 

"We got extremely side tracked. I'll tell you everything later, promise!!" 

Goten tapped on the girls shoulder. 

"Goten? Why are you here?" 

"Doesn't matter." He said. "Shelly, dont make small talk now!" 

Trunks walked into the house with the leftovers and props from the date night.  He swiftly dropped them at the door and roped his arm around Shelly's small waist.

"WELL!??" Bulla, Goten, and Bulma shouted in unison. 

Shelly got a big grin on her face and turned to Trunks she held out her hand to reveal a big shiny diamond ring. 

"WE'RE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!"
