Hello everyone, this story is dedicated to my sister, who is a Trunks freak, so now… here goes. Haha, funnily she doesn't even know I'm writing this. She's gonna kill me.
x.X.x
Twenty year old Trunks was walking around in the city, he was sent by Bulma to go buy some stuff, usually she'd take every chance she got to go shopping, but this time Vegeta broke the Gravity Room and Vegeta threatened to blow up the whole house if she didn't spent day and night repairing it.
He took out the one metre long list of things to buy and looked around for the appropriate shops, the first shop was an electronic shop, he walked into it and over to the counter.
"Hello Trunks, how can I help you?" The owner asked and Trunks smiled and put the list down in front of the man and pointed to the item on the list.
"Please get me this Tyler." He said and Tyler nodded and walked over to a shelf in the back and retrieved it.
He walked back to Trunks and gave it to him. "I'll put it on your mothers tab Trunks." He said and Trunks nodded.
"Thank you." He said and was about to leave when he turned around and walked back to the counter. "Can I lend your pen quickly to mark it off on the list?" He asked and Tyler walked to some of the pens on sale and the gave one to Trunks.
"Take one, it looks like you're going to have a lot to mark off." He said and Trunks laughed and thanked him, marking it off and then left, putting both the pen and list back in his jeans pockets.
He had memorized the next item, which was a the cooking book she wanted to give to Videl, Videl has absolutely no idea how to cook and it was driving Gohan insane, so Bulma thought she'd be nice and buy one for her.
Gohan started walking to the bookshop and entered it, walking straight over to the 'cooking' section.
He got the biggest, meanest cooking book he could find and another one called 'cooking simplified' for her to start on, he knew how Gohan was suffering, he tasted her food once, he nearly choked to death.
He looked around for something he might like, when he got to the part that said 'mind body and spirit' he looked at it for a while and saw something about 'creating' energy in your hands, for the laugh of it, he bought the book and walked over to the counter.
He saw a girl working there, she was new to the shop, she had long blonde hair with these big blue hamster eyes, she looked around 17.
She started to ring up the books when she got to the energy book and looked at him after ringing it up. "Oh you find the creation of energy interesting hey?" She asked and he almost wanted to laugh, it was in his blood.
"You could say that, but I mainly bought it to laugh at what crap they write in there." He said and she almost seemed insulted.
"Oh great, yet another critic of the power of KI." She said and Trunks snickered.
"I'm no critic, I just laugh when they don't tell you how to do it correctly, that's all." He said and she growled.
"How to do it correctly? Hah! How would a lavender dyed hair hippy know about such complex things?" She asked and Trunks smirked.
"This is my natural hair color and it's really not that complex, you still struggling?" He asked mockingly and she growled and held her hand out for his money.
"That will be 241 zeni please." She said and he gave her his credit card and spoke again.
"I can teach you how if you really want me to, but it seems you need 'no help' in such 'easy' things." He said and she growled, swiped the credit card, gave him the slip to sign and a pen.
He signed it and gave it back to her. "Why are you so angry at me now?" He asked and she put his books into a packet and gave it to him.
"Because people like you are an insult to people like me who truly appreciate the power of energy and what you can create with it, you are a critic, liar, foul and demeaning hippy!" She yelled and it caught people's attention, but they didn't pay too much attention and turned back to what they were doing.
Trunks smiled. "I'm not a hippy, I'm a dignified…being." He was going to say human but then remembered, he wasn't one. "I have earned respect from the people around here that know me, I have an interest in energy that surpasses anything you can dream of obtaining, so please, my offer to train you is still open." He said and she growled and pointed to the exit.
"You disgust me." She said and then spoke again with a smile. "Now sir, if you're done, please be on your way, you're being an oxygen thief." She said and he smiled, waved and left her venting with anger.
When he was in the street he looked back at her through the window. "Funny girl that one." He said and then marked off the book on the list and looked at the next few items.
"Hell…enough groceries to feed an army of saiyans for a week." He muttered in astonishment and walked over to the market.
He walked in and called one of the cleaners over to him.
"Hello, can you do something for me?" He asked and she looked at him weirdly.
"Depends what sir." She said and he tore the part of the list off with all the groceries to be bought.
"If you get me all of these within a hour I will give you 400 zeni." He said, he was willing to pay it out of his own pocket and it was a large amount.
Her eyes widened for a moment. "Of course sir, I will do it right away." She said and Trunks took out 200 zeni from his pocket and gave it to her.
"Thank you, you're a great help, here is half so long." He said and then walked away, he didn't want to do all that shopping, he'd rather get someone to do it for him.
He looked at the list again, he growled in irritation, he didn't know he had to get more things from the bookshop, Bulma wanted science books, she could've put it with the cooking books.
He walked back to the bookstore and when he entered he saw the girl sign.
"Sorry, you're oxygen thief is back." He said and walked over to the science part and looked for the books she wanted and took them, it was 13 books she wanted. "Damnit mom, can't you not read this much." He said as he took them into two hands and walked over to the counter and the girl looked at him oddly.
"Are you really going to read this much hippy?" She asked and he shook his head.
"I'm doing shopping for my mother here now, she is a scientist, so it's for her, I don't have that much interest in it." He said and she just nodded and started ringing them up.
"It's 1203 zeni and no energy books this time hippy?" She asked and he chuckled and shook his head as he gave her the credit card again, she swiped it and gave him the slip, he signed it and gave it back.
"No, no energy books this time and the name is Trunks." He said and she laughed.
"Typical you'd be named after underwear, you're just as low." She said and he growled at that insult.
"Don't insult where it does not belong girl." He said and she smirked.
"Freedom of speech and the name is DalouA." She said and he nodded and then took the packages of books and left, he was pissed off at her now, she had no right to insult him in such a way.
He took out the list and marked off the books and then his phone rang, he put down the bags and answers.
"Trunks speaking." He said and heard his mothers voice.
"Hey honey, I got my jail call from Vegeta after telling him it involved the GR, anyway, I need you to get me a book on electrons, I am missing some information, sorry for only letting you know now." She said and he growled, now he had to go back to that insulting woman again.
"Okay, mom, no problem." He said with gritted teeth and then hung up and walked back in after picking up the bags.
"Excuse my presence once again." He said and walked to the science section again, grabs every book he saw on electrons and walked over to the counter.
She rung it up without a word and he gave her the credit card, signed and left without a word.
He walked over to a clothing store, he needed to get material for Vegeta's and himself for their armor.
He walked in and asked for 20 metres of spandex and nylon and 10 meters of strong elastic." The woman nodded as she took it down on a piece of paper.
"Do you want it delivered?" She asked and he nodded and gave her the address. "Okay, you can pay when it arrives." She said and he nodded and walked out of the shop, still bitter about the girl.
He had now nearly gotten all the items.
Now he walked over to the computer shop, he was buying a present now for Goten, a brand spanking new computer with lots of 'educational' programs and some fighting games, on Bulma's request.
Walking in he was greeted by Jacob, the owner of the shop. "Hey what can I get you Trunks?" He asked and Trunks spoke slowly.
"The top of the range computer, monitor, tower, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard and loud speakers, the prize range can be anything." He said and then walked over to the computer programs, putting down his bags and grabbing whatever he could that would look cool on a computer, he then bought various educational programs from age 4-18 and then some computer games.
He walked to the counter and gave it to Jacob. "All of this please and can the computer be ready within a week?" He asked and Jacob nodded as he rung up the software and then gave took the card from Trunks and gave him the slip and returned the card.
"Yes… Of course." He said as he put the software into bags and took the signed slip from Trunks.
"Thank you." He said as he was marking of on the list, he started to feel overheated so he took of his jacket, revealing a no-sleeve long black, muscle hugging shirt, which fit perfectly with his baggy gray pants.
He picked up all of his bags and walked out of the shop, he was finally done… everything was done, now he could go and relax a bit in a restaurant.
As he walked passed the bookshop his anger had vanished and just came to the conclusion that the girl was a 'bitch'.
Suddenly he heard yelling coming from the shop, he turned in that direction quickly and saw a man with a mask over his face pointing an automatic gun at the girl and the customers on the ground, fearful.
