AUTHORS NOTE:- I know... I hate authors notes too, but I just wanna say, feed back would be very welcome. AND don't kill me if you don't like the story, this is my first fanfic. (n_n)
It was cold, and dark, and all Nina really wanted to do was to go home, but if she just went home, her "friends" would desert her. She knew they didn't really like her, she was just their scapegoat, she was the fourth wheel, not really needed, just thrown in to amuse. God was being ironic.
When she had confessed all this to her mother, she had said god was punishing her for her hair.
"What's wrong with my hair?!" Nina had shouted "I LIKE it green, ok?!"
"It makes you look like an Oompa-Loompa" her mother had retaliated. At this point her father, not looking up from his newspaper, had smothered a snort of laughter.
"I DO NOT LOOK LIKE AN OOMPA-LOOMPA!!!!"she'd screamed
"You're right Nina honey" her dad had said, over the top of his newspaper. Nina could hardly believe what she was hearing and stared at him in a state of shock, until he had said
"Its completely the wrong shade of green"
"I HATE YOU, I WISH YOU WERE DEAD" she had screamed and stormed upstairs, yep, god was definitely being ironic, or at least pretty darn horrible, she smiled exhaustedly, she definitely wanted to go home.
I'll just tell them I was ill she thought hopefully I'll just take the sweets tomorrow
she grimaced as she thought how easily she had just accepted what she was doing,she tried hard to put her feelings into words "ugggh" was all that would come out. Ugggh???? she thought, as she trudged home slowly, I sit and think for two hours and all I can say is "ugggh"?!!
I am so pathetic!!

Trunks sat, glancing out of his window every so often for signs of the girl with the green hair, finally, after two hours of waiting, he saw her. He panicked, for no apparent reason, alarm bells started ringing, and his heart beat harder in his chest. He swallowed the pride he had inherited from his father and literally flew over to her, landing a few meters ahead of her and leaning casually against the wall of an alley, hoping she hadn't seen him flying. Most girls who had had completely freaked, which Trunks could understand, I mean, how many guys do you see flying round in mid air at speeds faster than any car or a train.
She was 1 meter away, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2........suddenly Trunks shivered, he could feel eyes practically glaring a hole through his back, something powerful, majestic, something you didn't want to get on the wrong side of was staring at him menacingly, and he immediately recognized it as his father
Nina was walking slowly, dragging her feet deliberately taking a long time so that she could enjoy the feeling of sleepiness slowly washing over her, when she heard a huge commotion about 20 cm ahead, in a dark alley. What the...... she thought and ran over to get a better look. A boy of about 16 and a man were fighting, and they were flying as in flying like birds, without the stupid looking flapping, NANI?? Coooooooool she thought, then, oh aren't I just a walking dictionary tonight, All hail the Vocabulary Queen!
The boy was muscular, with blue eyes and a slight tan, but what really attracted her was his hair, it was floppy and soft, and kinda cute, but what she liked was that it was lavender, and shiny, like in an advert for hair dye, but somehow more realistic.
The man, who had the boy in a headlock, was short and cranky looking, he was so muscular it looked ridiculous, and his jet black hair stood up on end like he had never recovered from some kind of electric shock .
"You are WEAK" the man shouted, "You are the weakest person in the entire universe."
The purple haired boy laughed, "Put me down, dad, we can fight back at home"
Put me down....dad?? Nina thought, no way is that psychopath the boys father
"Right, that's it" said the boy, getting impatient, "PUT ME DOWN!"
Something happened to the man, he arched his back in pain but just gripped his son tighter around the neck.
"Dad..." the boy choked, "you're going to kill me!"
"So what" his father replied in a grim voice, looking distant, "If you're too weak to live that's your problem, not mine. Maybe you deserve to die."
The boy looked mildly surprised. " You're thinking about Yamcha." he accused.
"SO WHAT IF I AM?!!! WHAT I DID TO YAMCHA I DID BECAUSE HE WAS POSING A THREAT TO MY FAMILY!! YOU COULD SEE FOR YOURSELF HE WAS RAVING MAD!!"
The boy shrugged,
"we can wish him back in a couple of months anyway, but what would Bulma think of you if you killed her only son?"
"Oh" his father said, looking dreamy, but he quickly regained his composure "Alright, weakling, I'll let you go, soaring to a spot 30 ft in the air as he said this, and was as good as his word, he broke his grip, very suddenly, causing the boy to drop 30ft through the air.
Nina screamed involuntarily, drawing attention to herself, while the purple haired boy straightened up in mid air and looked down.
It was her!! the green haired girl. He'd completely forgotten about her in his fight with his father.
Speak of the devil.... he thought miserably as he looked down
"SHUT UP CHILD!" the man bellowed, Nina immediately stopped screaming
"I'm fine, thanks for NOT asking dad" the boy said, landing behind his father and trying to draw Vegetas attention away from her...
"who....who are you?" Nina asked
"shut up and fight" said the man
"NANI?"Nina screamed "Fight?!!!"
"aren't you good enough, are you AFRAID?" the man challenged
Nina's eyes narrowed "Bring it on..." she retaliated
"WAIT!!" came a voice from behind, it was the purple haired boy. Seething, the man turned around slowly "You would dare to interfere with MY business? ME? Your father, Prince Vegeta of the Planet Vegeta? Son of the mighty KING Vegeta, of the planet Vegeta, the man who brought up you and your sister with only the help of a beautiful scientific genius, the man sent here to SAVE THE EAGGGGHHHHHuuuuuuuuh...................."
He fell face first to reveal a startled Nina, fists in front of her face and right leg in the air, around the place where Vegetas back would be if he were still standing.
"Your dad talks WAY too much" She said, smiling. This caused them to erupt into fits of laughter, in between snorts the boy managed to choke out: "Hi, my name's Trunks"
"Hi Trunks, nice name, I'm Nina" said Nina trying, and failing, not to burst into a fit of giggles at the man sprawled out behind Trunks.
It was at this point that Nina started feeling giddy and light, then she felt sick, she turned to Trunks and he saw her eyes widen and mist over
"Trunks..." her voice was shaky
"umm...yes?" a worried look came over his face
"something's m-m-miss-miss...umm..missing and I'm pretty sure you d-didn't used to have d-dots on your f-f-face"
Trunks raised his hands to touch his face, feeling nothing there he was alarmed, what was wrong with his green haired girl?
He jumped as he heard a groan right behind him oh god, he thought as he turned, I completely forgot about Tousan. He turned sharply again as he heard a thud behind him, and saw Nina on the ground, unconscious. He felt suddenly alone and...somewhere in the back of his mind...angry, he didn't know why or what at, but he did all the same and he reflected on it as he hoisted the two unconscious bodies, one on either shoulder and flew off to Capsule Corp.
