Satori/Trunks

Trunks Briefs nibbled on the end of his pen, reading something his mother, Bulma Briefs, had sent up. He hated filling out paper work and he really didn't feel like being at work. As he contemplated jumping out of the window and flying away, a sudden knock on his door startled him.

"Come in!"

"Here are those papers you wanted Mr. Briefs." Nineteen year old Satori Son said as she walked into Trunks Briefs' office.

Trunks looked up and he pointed to a corner on his desk. "Place them there Ms. Son."

Satori placed the signed papers on the desk like Trunks instructed her to. She then sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk.

"Almost time to go." Satori said and she looked at the paperwork on his desk. "Did your mom send that up to you?"

"Yeah." Trunks sighed. "Could you fill it out for me?"

"Um no. You know I don't like filling out paperwork." Satori said with a laugh.

"You suck."

Satori laughed and she looked at the clock to see that work was over. And as usual, hordes of girls were outside Trunks' office, waiting to see him.

"Your fan club is here Trunks." Satori said hearing the giggles of her many ditzy co-workers.

Trunks sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Satori, be my best friend and distract them."

"No way dude! I'm not covering for you again! One of those girls outside almost made me angry!" Satori said crossing her arms over her chest.

Trunks laughed at her. "How?" He thought for a moment. "And who's this girl that almost made you angry?"

"I think her name's Julie or something." Satori looked at Trunks. "She thought that we were..." she cringed "dating!"

Trunks lifted an eyebrow. "She thought we were dating? Why would she think that?"

"She said and I quote, 'He always calls you to his office and you're always around him doing things for him.' Hello, it's called being your secretary for crying out loud!" Satori said dramatically, placing her feet on Trunks' desk.

Trunks laughed at Satori again, earning him one of her famous hateful look. He stood up and went over to his window, contemplating flying out of it like he usually did. Satori watched him for a minute and she sighed, leaning her back against the chair she sat in.

"So…are you escaping through the window?" Satori asked in a bored voice, closing her eyes.

Trunks turned back to her. "I'm thinking about it."

Satori opened one dark eye. "What's there to think about?" Before Trunks could answer she walked over to his door, looking back at him. "You're going to owe me for this Briefs."

Trunks smiled at her. "Thank you Satori."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Satori walked out of the office to distract Trunks' fan club.
