"You
got to help me Minako!" Usagi cried.
"What is it?"
Minako asked.
"Look!" Usagi hissed and shoved a pretty
rose with a heart shaped card at Minako's face. It said: "Your
lovely face dazzled me. Your golden hair filled me rich. Your blue
eyes drowns my sorrow. Be mine"
"Awww! It doesn't really
make sense but still! How sweet! Who gave you that?" Minako
asked.
Usagi looked away with disgust. "Trunks"
Minako
pretend to have an heart attack. "What's wrong with Trunks!"
she cried.
"Well..." Usagi had this dreamy look on her
face. "I was hoping Gohan would ask me to the Valentine's
Dance"
"Gohan!" Minako screamed. "Isn't he a
senior! That means he's three years older than we young
sophomores?"
Usagi smiled like Minako doesn't know anything.
"Oh Minako!" she cried. "You've got to help
me"
"What?" Minako cried confused.
"I want
to go with Gohan but what if he says no? Then I'll go with
Trunks"
Minako looked confused. "So... You are going to
tell Trunks he's second choice"
"No! Just... Could you
tell Trunks I said yes? But I don't want to talk to him yet! Just-
Just make up excuses for me"
"Trunks!"
Minako cried and waved to the purple haired guy. Trunks turned around
and gave Minako one of his dazzling smile. Minako caught up with him
and looked into his dreamy blue eyes.
'How can I lie to someone
like him? He does deserve to be played...' Minako thought
unhappily.
"Minako"
"Hmmm"
"Don't
you have something to tell me"
"Oh sorry! Usagi said
she'll go out with you to the Valentine's Day dance. But she'll be
busy all week! Don't call her, she'll call you"
Trunks looked
away, he looked hurt by the fact that Usagi was busy.
"Wow"
said Minako to herself. He must really like Usagi. She glanced at him
and at the same time he looked at her, both looked away quickly.
Minako noticed how cute Trunks looked when he blush.
'How come I
never noticed how nice he looks till now?' Minako asked herself
silently as the two walked home together. Well we did grew up
together and he was always a chubby little short guy and I was one
head taller than him. Until we got to high school.
When they
reached freshmen year, Trunks suddenly because seven inches taller
than Minako and had the muscular body like his father Vegeta. Both
have grew up together and had sisterly and brotherly love for each
other. "So what kind of flowers do you want to get Usagi for the
dance?" Minako asked trying to break the silence.
"I
don't know. I don't even really know her" he said
unhappily.
'Wow,' Minako thought. 'He must be really shy. Because
I'm his friend and hers, I'll help him by getting him and Usagi
closer together'
"So Minako? Who are you going to the dance
with?" Trunks asked. Minako felt embarrassed that she didn't
have a date.
"Oohh... This guy" she simply said. They
walked the rest of the way home in silence.
"Minako!
You've got to help me! I really want a date for the dance but I don't
know how to get anyone to ask me! I'm really new to this and all..."
Ami said and quickly blushed.
"Do not worry Ami!" Minako
cried and points a finger in the air. "The goddess of love is
here! Ha! I'll fix you two up"
"Don't do anything too
much! Please! And give me advice" Ami said and quickly got out a
pen.
"Well..." Minako said slowly. "First of all
you must be yourself" she said sternly. "And found out what
you both are interest in"
"What kind of guy do you think
is right for me Minako?" Ami asked in a whisper and sounded so
depress.
"There's lots of different guys and you'll have to
choose yourself. I think a perfect guy is someone who will listen,
knows how to have fun..." Minako's mind drifted to Trunks. "And
he should have lots of muscles with purple hair..." Minako
remembers all the things they did when they were little. "He'll
give you his ice cream cone when you dropped yours . He's your best
guy friend in the whole world and he promised to always be there for
you and"
Minako stopped talking and looked at the wide eye
Ami.
"Oops sorry!" Minako said feeling embarrassed. "I
got kinda carried away there"
"Oh Minako!" Ami
cried. "Is there such a wonderful guy alive"
Minako
nodded slowly feeling ever so depress.

Usagi
grabbed Minako by her shirt. "Oh Minako! I don't think Gohan is
going to ask me out to the dance anymore! He haven't winked at me in
a week"
Minako tried her best to look sorry. "Soo...
Does this mean you will be going with Trunks"
Usagi looks
away unhappily. "I guess so... Hey...". Usagi's eyes slowly
became happy again. "Since Trunks and Gohan are both popular and
all... I could use Trunks and make Gohan jealous! Minako! You are
going to help me"
Minako felt sick to her stomach. "B-
But... Well... Why don't you ah... Give Trunks a chance? I mean, you
never know. Maybe you'll like him more than you like Gohan. he is a
really nice guy"
"I don't go for the Mr. Nice guy type
Minako! If I did than I would have gone out with someone like...
Mamoru!" Usagi said and laughed.

Minako
sat on her bed chewing on her pencil. She wrote on her pad: Lovers on
Valentines Day After that, she wrote: Ami+... KRILLIN! Must get them
to meet in the... Library!
Next she wrote: Usagi+Gohan... Meet
at... ? Trunks+Minako-
Minako screamed and quickly crossed out her
own name. She replaced it with Usagi's.
Remember, Minako reminded
herself, He wants Usagi, not you.
She sadly wrote: Minako?
33333333333333333333333333333333333
"MINAKO!"
Usagi screamed in her ear. "I think Gohan likes me! He told some
of his buddies that he is going to ask the pretty golden hair girl to
the dance"
"That's nice Usagi but what about Trun"
Usagi
waved her hands as to dismiss Minako's words. "But just in case
Gohan gets sick or something. Trunks is still my back up. Help me
Minako! Tell him some good things about me!"
33333333333333333333333333333333333
"Hey
Minako" Trunks said and smiled warmly at Minako making her feel
tinkling all over. "Ready to go home"
Minako nodded.
"Soo... Trunks. Usagi is really good at... Eating- I mean!
Dancing"
Trunks nodded but doesn't seem to care.
"I
think..." Minako began looking at Trunks and studying his
handsome profile. "You should get her roses. Every girl loves
roses"
"Yeah but you don't" Trunks said softly.
"You hate the thorns on them even if it's thornless. You always
love daisies which are always harmless and happy"
Minako felt
her face go all red. 'No one but Trunks knows how much I love
daisies... Oh Trunks...'
33333333333333333333333333333333333
"Ok
Ami" Minako handed Ami another book. "You should also read
this and this and this and this"
Ami tried her best to
balance the thirty books Minako thrust in her arms. 'Damn it! Where
is that Krillin...' Minako thought and just randomly keep on piling
Ami with books.
Ami was sweating all over and it was getting
harder to breath with all these books. "Minako, I think this is
enough"
"KRILLIN! Over here!" Minako cried and
waved her arms around.
"Shhh..." The librarian
hissed.
"Krillin I would like you to meet Ami" Minako
said proudly.
"Hey Ami" Krillin tried to see what Ami
looks like but she is blocked with piles on books. "Let me help
you with that"
Krillin easily balanced the all the books on
just one hand. "Thanks" Ami said blushing.
"I'll
leave you two alone..." Minako said walking away slowly.
33333333333333333333333333333333333
"MINAKO!"
Usagi cried. She caught up with Minako and sobbed.
"What's
wrong Usagi?" Minako ask with worry.
Usagi blew her nose. "Oh
Minako! I've never been so embarrassed in my whole life!". Usagi
calmed down a bit and told her story. "So I was sitting near
Gohan and I over heard him say he is going to ask the prettiest
blonde in the school to the dance right now! So I walked up to him
and flirted a little and said that I would be more than happy to go
with him. And guess what the guy does"
Minako opened her
mouth.
"HE LAUGHED AT ME!" Usagi shouted. "He said
he wasn't even thinking of asking me! Oh my gosh Minako! Who else
could be more prettier than me? A prettier blonde"
"I
have no idea" Minako said.
"Where's Trunks!" Usagi
suddenly cried out. "I'm so smart to have a back up plan"
Minako
felt sick and couldn't believed Usagi is just using Trunks and taking
advantage of his kindness and his feelings for her.
When Trunks
showed up to walk Minako home, Usagi ran in front of him. "Oh
Trunks!" Usagi said with a wink. "I would love to go to the
valentine dance tomorrow with you. Pick me up at 7:00"
"Sure..."
Trunks looks at Minako but she walked away already.
33333333333333333333333333333333333
Minako
speed walked home as fast as she could, hot tears spilled and ran
down her cheeks. 'I'm stupid. So stupid!' She thought over and over
again. 'When did I started liking him? When? Why did I ignore my
feelings? But he deserves much prettier and more popular girls...
Like Usagi'
Her thoughts were interrupted by a whistle. It
belonged to Gohan.
"Hey, Minako is your name right?" he
asked and flashed her one of his heart winning grin. But it didn't
win Minako's heart.
"If you are here to make fun of Usagi to
me than"
"Relax honey. A pretty girl like you should
just keep that pretty lips of yours shut for kissing" he said
and winked.
Minako glared at him.
"You are crying because
you don't have a dance for the dance right? Well your prayers has
been answered" he said with a bow. "I will take you to the
dance"
Minako stood there in shock. Than... She burst out
laughing.
33333333333333333333333333333333333
'I've been so busy playing cupid that I've ignored my own feelings...' After Minako laughed, she walked home leaving the stunned Gohan confused and rejected.
33333333333333333333333333333333333
The night of the dance
Minako wore a gorgeous yellow dress. Though it's valentines, she didn't just want to wear the usual two colors: Red and Pink. She took a deep breath and went to the dance.
She
saw Ami and Krillin slow dancing. Krillin saw Minako and gave her a
thanks wink. Ami blushes and Minako gave her a thumbs up. She noticed
Gohan is surrounded by many females.
"So where's your date?"
ask a deep voice. Minako looked and saw Trunks.
"He's ah...
Getting me a drink" Minako said quickly and wouldn't meet his
eyes. He held her hand which forced her to look at him
confused.
"There you are!" said a high pinched voice.
They both turn and saw Usagi.
"Trunks! What the hell is this!
Daisies!" Usagi threw the pretty golden flowers at Trunks feet.
"What kind of a date are you? Oh my gosh! I can't believe I
actually came here with you! What a waste"
"A problem
here gorgeous?" said another voice. Gohan wrapped his arms
around Usagi.
Usagi laughed and went to the dance floor with him.
Gohan grinned back at Minako a very unfriendly grin. Minako and
Trunks stood against the wall in silence.
"So why didn't you
come with Gohan?" Trunks suddenly asked.
"What!"
Minako cried and faced him. "You heard"
"The whole
school heard" Trunks said. He picked up the daisies. "These
were meant for you"
Minako took them and looked at him
confused.
"I understand you want to be just friends and no
more-" Trunks said quickly.
"What gave you that idea?"
Minako asked.
Trunks looked down feeling sad. "You did reject
my letter"
"What letter?" Minako said feeling more
confused by the minute.
"Err... The one that ahh..."
Trunks looked down still embarrassed.
Minako remembered the letter
Usagi found:
Your lovely face dazzled me. Your golden hair filled
me rich. Your blue eyes drowns my sorrow. Be mine "You wrote
that..." Minako turned pale. "For me"
"Of
course. I did put it on your desk"
"Usagi and I changed
desk that day! Oh Trunks!" Minako flung her arms around him
crushing the flowers between them. "We all thought you gave that
to Usagi"
Trunks shook his head and laughed. "No wonder
all this time you've been trying to set me up with her"
He
suddenly went silent and looked deep in her eyes making her blush.
"So my little cupid. Be mine"
Minako pressed her lips
against his. And that's how cupid struck herself with her own arrows.
--The End--
