Chapter 7:

Once breakfast was over and things had calmed down a bit, Goten remembered why he came this way besides seeing his best friend. "Oh hey, that new mall opened up, they have this huge amusement park inside, wana go check it out?" Trunks wasn't big on malls but it did sound like it would be interesting. Bulla jumps up, running over to her brother. "I want to come to!" Trunks rolls his eyes but nods. "Sure, you should come to, the mall has a ton of shops to check out." He turns his gaze to Sara. She didn't know what a 'mall' was. but she knew what a shop was. "Alright, might as well see what passes as culture here."

Vegeta just lets out a grunt. "Not much." Bulma wacks him again for that remark, but Vegeta just seems to take it in stride. "I'll..mmm.." Trunks was sure that Sara had never flown before, so this was going to be interesting. He just leads them outside as she follows after them. Trunks pulls out a capsule and throws it in front of him. There was a poof of smoke as it turns into a large ship big enough for all of them. Sara moves slowly as she poked at it. "H-how...did you do that?" Goten just chuckles as he opens the door. "His mom made these, everyone has one!"

Trunks nods as he shows her one of the other capsules he had. "All you do is push this button, throw, and it pops out, there's a button on the ship to return it as a capsule, you name it, my mom and granddad made a capsule for it." She takes it carefully, looking it over. "That's....so convenient man having something like this would have saved me a ton of space." She gives it some honest thought as she moves her tail slowly. "You..wouldn't have some empty containers like this would you?" He smiles at her and nods. "Oh yeah, but later, come on, I'll show you the ship."

He took his time explaining to her what everything did. How the ship worked and what it did. He made sure everyone was sitting down before taking them into the air. She had never traveled like this before, but her face was planted at the window as everything went past them, her tail wagging quickly behind her. The mall was huge and finding a place to land was, a bit hard since it was packed. He soon lands and everyone gets out. This place had a thing for making everything as big as they could. The mall was bigger than anything she had seen so far. "How many shops does this place have." Goten jumps up as Trunks grabs the capsule for the ship. "Tons, you name it, they have it.."

She made sure to stay close to her new friend, even Trunks held onto Bulla to make sure he didn't lose his sister to the large crowd. The inside was just as packed with people heading for store after store, most people already dragging large bags full of stuff they found. Sara moved slowly, she was never one for large crowds but it wasn't to bad as long as she kept close to someone. There were so many clothes stores, it was surprising to see just how many different fashions they had. While she had no real interest on getting anything new to wear it was still fascinating to see what passed as 'fashion' here.

Bulla often stopped to look at clothes and Trunks had to groan, sometimes having a sister was a drag. He did notice that Sara only half looked, then moved on, at least he didn't have to worry about her running off to go drool at an outfit he knew his sister would just forget about a week later. Sara did stop, when they passed a large candy store. She gazed into the window as her tail starts to wag like crazy. "Look at all that candy, I've never seen so many different kinds." Goten was next to her, drooling over himself. "Man they have the extra sour stuff!" He was quick to run in as Trunks soon catches up.

"See anything you like?" He chuckled softly, enjoying just how amazed she looked by all of this as she looks at him. "Oh I can pick out a few things...however, what passes as currency here?" Trunks pulls out his wallet and shows her what their money looked like. Her ears fold to the side as she goes into her bag and pulls out a few gold coins. "I get the feeling this stuff would be useless then." His eyes go wide as he takes one of the coin and looks it over. "Is this real gold?!" She nods at him as she takes it back. "Yes." He shakes his head a bit. "You won't be able to use it to buy stuff, but.."

He rubs his chin. "I'm sure there's a way to exchange it, for now just pick what you want and you can pay me back?" Her tail moves slowly, unsure. "Are you sure?" Bulla just hops up and down as she smiles. "You bet, we could buy the whole mall if we wanted to!" Trunks lets out another groan, he hated to brag when it came to just how rich his mother was, but his sister wasn't wrong and Sara lights up a bit. "Then consider yourself repaid for anything I might get my hands on!" She was more than happy to pick out what she wanted before they wondered off to go look at more stores.

Nothing else seemed to catch her interest after that as they made their way to where the amusement park was. That was until she saw a large book store and she was gone within seconds. Goten blinks and had to stop Trunks before they left her behind. She had seen what Candlekeep had to offer when it came to books, but this, she was in pure heaven. Every subject, was categorized, horror, adventure, fantasy, fiction, non-fiction, everything her little heart could ever want and then some. Of course with her she had to stop at the romance section to see what passed as 'romantic'.

Trunks found her looking through most of them as he rubs his head. "Not you too, it's bad enough my mom loves this mush..." Trunks, much like his father, was not a fan of these things. She lets out a laugh as she reads one book she had. "You kidding, I just read them to make fun of how stupid they can get, I honestly don't understand how people can get drawn into them, it's always so...predicable." "Finally someone gets it, so you just read them for kicks?" She gives him a slight shrug. "Sometimes, I know it's very cynical to make fun of romance novels..but they just make it far to easy..."

For once, Trunks could agree with someone on just how ridiculous these books got. It was a nice change of pace to met someone who could agree. He blinks as he feels something tug at his arm. He turns to see Goten pull him to the side slightly. Goten made sure to keep his voice low as Trunks gives him an odd look. "I don't mean to break up the fun...but." He points to the small area that served coffee. Standing among a small group of snobbish looking women, was his old high school ex, Jamie. She hadn't seen them yet and he was going to keep it that way. The last thing he really wanted, was to start up old drama in a public spot.
