Chapter Text
November 27th:
“There you two are. I’ve been looking all over for you.” Bulma greeted her sons, Knickers and Trunks.
“Sorry, I was on the phone.” Knickers and Trunks apologized, watching Bulma.
“What’s going on?” Bulma questioned, suspiciously watching her sons.
“Goten told me that Chi-Chi told him that as long as it was ok with you, his girlfriend, Sakura could come to the Christmas party this year.” Trunks started explaining.
“Ok… What does that have to do with you two?” Bulma questioned.
“Well, when Trunks told me that; I thought that if you accepted Goten’s request, we could invite our girlfriends—who just so happen to be Sakura’s sisters. Ayame said Sakura and Momoko could only go if she could go as well because she doesn’t know anyone here. And I figured it’d be only fair if Sakura and Momoko get to come as well.” Knickers finished telling Bulma what he and Trunks wanted.
“I’m very well aware of how Ayame feels about her younger sisters attending a party where she doesn’t know anyone or knows nothing about.” Bulma stopped her sons' babbling.
“How do you know that? How do you know that Momoko and Sakura are Ayame’s younger sisters?” Trunks and Knickers questioned, stunned.
“I know much more than you think I do about those girls. Ayame just turned eighteen two months ago, and Sakura and Momoko are fifteen-year-old twins who will be sixteen on December 12th.”
“Knickers, I know you have been dating Ayame for roughly two years—and are very active. Neither you nor she are as discreet or as quiet as you think you are. I met her one of the nights you tried sneaking her in and out of the house a year and a half ago. Ayame is a very nice and responsible young girl—who has a bad habit of randomly swearing. She said it wasn’t planned, but you and she inadvertently introduced Trunks and Goten to her sisters, Sakura and Momoko a year and a half ago; she’s elated that they met though.”
“Goten and Sakura started dating after two weeks and have also been pretty active. Chi-Chi tells me things; she’s met the girls as well. Sakura is a sweet and shy girl—until you get to know her; then she becomes a pistol who speaks her mind. I also know that both Ayame and Sakura are fighters.”
“Trunks, you’re dating Momoko and have been for a year and two months. If I remember correctly, you and Mai broke up three weeks after you met Momoko. Then, it took a little more than month before she broke up with her past boyfriend. Finally, it took another two months before you two started dating. Ayame specifically didn’t say, but with how nervous and jumpy Momoko is; I’m guessing she was in an abusive relationship before—or manipulative at the very least.”
“Momoko is a very sweet, kind, polite, helpful, and softspoken girl; I really have to listen when she speaks. But your father and I had the honors of meeting her when she spent the night a few months ago. Your father came to me when he heard noises coming from your room.” Bulma thoroughly explained how she knew the girls her sons and Goten were dating.
“We’re not having sex.” Trunks immediately started insisting.
“Uh-uh, sure. And we’re not virgins.” Knickers rolled his eyes.
“That’s enough of that. I know you and Momoko aren’t active. Your father cornered her when she came out of the bathroom. I think she was getting ready to head out. But your father brought her to me, and she downright panicked, swearing up and down that you two didn’t make love—or even just have sex.”
“I found out, that unlike Ayame and Sakura, Momoko is very non-violent. She doesn’t prefer to fight but can and will if she needs to. That being said, your father, Chi-Chi, Goku, and a few others know they’re not human. We don’t know what they are, but I honestly don’t care; they’re not here to harm us or anyone unless they’re attacked first. I haven’t let him say anything to the girls or you, but your father is on a mission to figure out what they are.” Bulma scolded Knickers before continuing to speak about the girls.
“So, can they be added to the invitations?” Knickers and Trunks questioned.
“I already sent out invitations last night to be sent out this morning. That being said, I sent Ayame, Momoko, and Sakura invitations as well. I made sure to put in their messages to tell you who they got for Secret Santa (as long as it wasn’t either of you), so you can help them pick something out for whoever they got because I don’t know who they know or don’t know.”
“Speaking of which… Here are the names you two got. Beerus and Whis are unable to make it to the party this year, so they wrote out who everyone got for Secret Santa and put the names in the invitations. No, I don’t know who anyone has; Whis said something about using a spell or something to make sure only the receiver could open and see who they got.” Bulma answered the boys before telling them.
“Thank you; you’re the best!” Knickers and Trunks excitedly thanked Bulma after taking who they got for Secret Santa before they started walking away—only to run into Vegeta.
“Hold up.” Vegeta was eerily calm as he instructed.
“Dad?” Knickers and Trunks nervously questioned.
“Chi-Chi called the other day and told me Goten was going to ask one of you to ask me about inviting the girls. Oh, yes; we knew about this for a few days now. Yes, we have met the girls and have talked to them. We don’t know why you haven’t introduced us to them yet—and we asked that they not say anything to you until you did.”
“Now, that I’ve decided to allow them to come to the Christmas party meant for family and close family friends only; Chi-Chi, your father, Goku, and I want a proper introduction. I made sure to mention this in the girls’ invitations as well. The rules I am making for if you want them to come are simple.”
“You two and Goten are to arrive the night before to help set up for the party. You two and Goten are not to show up looking like slobs; you will be wearing what Chi-Chi and I have picked out for you.”
“Knickers, I will let you drive the van in order to take Trunks and Goten get the girls and bring them to the party. The moment you enter the building, you two are to find your father, me, Bulla, Aunt Tights, and your grandparents, and properly introduce us to Ayame and Momoko. And Goten is to find Chi-Chi, Goku, Gohan, Videl, Chihiro, Pan, his grandfather, Raditz, Nashi, and his cousins, and properly introduce them to Sakura.”
“There will be no sneaking off to do whatever it is you want until Chi-Chi and I say so. And you two get to relay all this information to Goten. Do I make myself clear?” Bulma firmly told her sons, pausing now and then to breathe.
“Yes, Mom.” Knickers and Trunks replied, trying not to grumble.
“And if all goes well, the girls may spend the night. And if that happens, we’ll discuss room arrangements.” Bulma calmly added.
“Thank you.” Knickers and Trunks responded, stunned.
“Now, go—before your father says something.” Bulma instructed, sending the boys away.
Off they went.
“You say nothing to those girls about knowing they’re not human unless they come Knickers, Trunks, or Goten first.” Bulma strictly warned her husband before heading to the lab.
Dearest Family & Friends,
You have been invited to the Briefs Family annual Christmas party this year.
As per tradition, we will be doing Secret Santa.
However, to avoid the chaos, disaster, and confusion that was last year, we have decided to do two different Secret Santas:
One for anyone sixteen and older
One for anyone fifteen and under.
Hopefully, doing it this way will cause less confusion for the younger members who decided they wanted to participate in Secret Santa—and no one will lose or switch their names around.
The rules for Secret Santa are simple:
Nobody says who they got to anyone except their partners (unless you got your partner, of course).
Nobody changes who they got for their Secret Santa. (Whis and Beerus ensured names can’t be changed this year).
Prices are non-negotiable.
$15 minimum to $30 maximum for the fifteen and under Secret Santa.
$25 minimum to $50 maximum for the Sixteen and older Secret Santa.
The Christmas party is being held at my family’s villa in the middle of the ocean (directions in the back) on Saturday, December 23rd, starting at 1:00 PM and ending between 6:00-10:00 PM.
Yours truly,
Bulma & Vegeta.
