Day one:

<<<<<<<<<<Rosie's POV>>>>>>>>>>
"Rosie!! Get up! You're gonna be late!" Pounding could be heard throughout the trailer, and probably a fair distance out side. "ROOOSIIEEE!!!"
"Will you stop with that infernal racket!!"
A sigh, "Sorry, Vegeta, but I gotta make sure Rosie gets up so she can get to class."
"She's an adult. She should be able to get up on her own!" the prince snapped from his place on the fold out bed in the love seat.
"She usually does, but she tends to have trouble getting up at 7 am after being up 'til 2 playing video games with you and Goku." Aaron responded and went back to banging on my bedroom door.
Vegeta grunted before flipping onto his stomach and pressing the pillow over his head. Goku, naturally, hadn't twitched from his curled-up position on the papasan chair during the whole ordeal.
"ROSIE!!"
"I'm up! I'm up!" I yelled as I got up from the bed.
"Prove it!"
I groaned, shuffled toward the door, and flung it open. "There, happy?"
"Yep, now you can go get ready."
"Thanks, mom."
"Your welcome dear."
I roll my eyes playfully and shut the door. I "unconsciously" made my way back to the bed.
"And don't you dare get back in that bed!" Aaron's voice rang out just as I was about to crawl back in. I whined and moved toward the bathroom instead.
Aaron went to plundering through the pantry for some poptarts, knowing I'd be eating breakfast on the go as usual. He set a package out on the island, and started making himself a bowl of cereal.
"Does this mean you two are finished trying to wake up the entire neighborhood?" Vegeta asked irritably.
"Nope!" Aaron replied, cheerfully. "She hasn't left the house yet; besides, she's already running late and last I checked, her stuff wasn't together. Just wait 'til she comes out. Whirlwinds are in the forecast for the day," Aaron grinned as Vegeta groaned and once again pressed the pillow to his ears. Aaron chuckled as he picked the seat at the table opposite of the walkway, so he could observe the typhoon known as me running back and forth getting my stuff together once I finished getting myself together. I don't know why, but it seems to amuse him quite a bit.
Sure enough, thirty minutes later I came speed walking out of my room, flinging the door open and asking had anyone seen my shoes.
"They're by your bookbag," Aaron answered my plea.
I got to the counter where I always dumped my stuff after coming home. I put on my shoes, and searched my bag real quick to make sure I had everything I needed.
"Wallet, checkbook, notebook, cd-player with cd, pens, calculator, cell phone, got it," I checked off, under my breath. "Alright, I'll have my cell on in between classes and when I'm coming home should you need me. Today's my short day, so I'll be back by one o'clock. You guys behave and please don't blow up the trailer or the trailer park. Tootles!" I grabbed my keys and made my way to the door as I gave them my departing remarks.
"Rosie, here!" Aaron called.
"Huh? Oh," I said as he tossed the poptart to me. "Thanks, Love ya!" And out the door I went.

<<<<<<<<<<<Aaron's POV>>>>>>>>>>

I looked at the two sleeping figures after Rosie left and shook my head; they didn't look as if they'd be moving anytime soon. I went to the computer room, deciding to play on the internet for a while. Time to see what new stories and chapters were up on mm.org. ((^_^!!))
"Eenie, meenie, minie, moe...," I mumbled as I searched for a story to read.
I had just clicked on one that looked promising when I heard yelling from the living room. I ran in to see what was going on.
I found Goku on the floor close to the bed, holding the top of his head and looking teary-eyed. Vegeta was sitting up on the bed, arms crossed, angrily glaring at Goku.
I sighed and shook my head. "I'm not EVEN going to ask," I said picking one of Rosie's phrases, and went back to the story.
From time to time I could hear them fussing; actually more like Vegeta fussing and Goku whining or joking. For the most part, though, I just ignored them until about 9:30 or so when Goku came in complaining of boredom. I signed off so we could look for something to do. I dug around in the closet in that room, pulled out all the board games and stuff I could find, handed a few to Goku, and went to the kitchen table. Luckily they had already cleaned up the living room so I didn't have to worry about tripping over anything. I put the games on the island and removed the center piece and candles from the table. I also got out the Uno cards and regular cards from a drawer in the island and added them to the pile of games.
"What is all of this?" Vegeta asked as he came over.
"Games, ways to ease the boredom," I answered.
Goku smiled, "What will we play first?" He asked happily.
"I dunno. Let's see, stop me if you hear anything you want to play. We have: Trouble, Mousetrap, Sorry, Chinese Checkers, regular checkers, chess, pick-up-sticks, jacks, Candyland, Life-,"
"CANDYLAND!!!" Goku yelled out.
"NO!!" Vegeta and I both yelled in response.
Goku pouted and backed off, "Well fine then."
I continued naming off the games, "Life, Star Wars: Life, Perfection, Scrabble, Batman Returns, Barbie: Dream Date," I made a face, Vegeta gave Goku an evil look should he decide to stop me again, "Uno, and regular cards. We can play all kinds of games with the regular cards. Well?" I looked at them.
"Chinese Checkers," Vegeta decided. I nodded my head, pulled the game out, and went to the table. I began to set up the game.
"I call blue," Vegeta said, taking his seat.
"Green," Goku said.
"I guess I'll take yellow," I replied, taking out the required pieces. "Winner chooses next game," I told them, "It's general rule we use," I explained. "You can choose a video game, also."
They nodded their heads.
"Shall we begin?" I asked.
"Let's go!" Goku replied happily. "Who goes first?"
I pulled out the regular cards. "Who ever gets the highest card goes first. Turns go clockwise," I explained and held out the cards, face down in my palm, to Goku. He drew the card on top. Vegeta went next, then me. Goku got an ace, I got 7, Vegeta drew a King.
Vegeta smirked. "I'm first," he said and went to move one of his pieces.
Goku grabbed his wrist before he could, "No you're not, Ace is higher than King."
Vegeta frowned. "No it's not, Ace equals one."
"No, Ace is high."
"No, it's not."
I slowly got out my chair and inched away from them.
"Yes it is."
"No it's not."
~Please don't let them ask me, please don't let them ask me...~ I prayed as I moved further away.
"Yes it is."
"NO it's NOT!"
"It is, it is, it is, it is, it-,"
"ALRIGHT, ALREADY! JUST GO!!"
Goku grinned. "Okay!" A moment's pause as Goku looked at the board. "How do we play this game, again?" Vegeta and I crashed to the ground, legs twitching in the air anime-style.

<<<<<<<<<<Rosie's POV>>>>>>>>>>

"Guys, I'm...home. . . What the fuck!"
I walked in to see Goku laying on his stomach in the floor, half in the kitchen and half in the living room, with Vegeta straddling his lower back putting him in a choke hold. But that wasn't what surprised and bothered me. The mess of game pieces and boxes on the kitchen floor, the flipped over coffee table and it's contents on the living room floor, the knocked over lamp from the end table, and the flower arrangement from the entertainment center on the ground was what bothered me. In fact, I was pretty ticked.
"Uh oh," I heard Aaron say from the doorway to my bedroom.
Vegeta and Goku looked at Aaron.
"Uh oh?" Vegeta asked.
"Yeah, uh oh," Aaron answered. "Didn't you hear what she said? And see the expression on her face?"
They looked back up at me. "Oh," both he and Goku said at the same time.
I was silently fuming. I imagine if I was in an anime-world there would be smoke coming from my ears. I made another look around at the mess and at the offenders still on the floor. I finally cracked.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE DOING!!! I asked you to NOT to destroy my house! If ya'll wanted to fight so bad, then GO OUTSIDE!!! Is that REALLY so hard to comprehend!?" I stood there, my bookbag and a couple bags from Walmart by my tapping, outstretched foot, hands on my hips, lips pressed in a thin line, and, as Aaron later told me, fire in my eyes.
Vegeta and Goku just looked at me, frozen on the spot, seemingly shocked at my display.
"Well!?" I asked them
"Ummm...*gulp*...we're sorry, Rosie," Goku managed.
"Uh, yeah," Vegeta agreed as he got off of Goku.
I sighed and bowed my head as I crossed my arms. "Clean this mess up. You made it, you clean it." I picked up all the bags and started on my to the computer room. "By the way, this is the last day I will leave both of you here when I'm at class. We'll get you two ready to go out and get you some appropriate clothes when ya'll finish. Come get me when ya'll are done," I finished as I walked into the computer room and quietly shut the door.

<<<<<<<<<<Aaron's POV>>>>>>>>>>

Goku and Vegeta looked at each other and then at me.
"Why do I get the feeling we got off lucky?" Goku asked.
I actually managed a smile. "'Cuz you were," I answered. "She can really chew someone out when she wants to, but she usually chooses to hold her temper, especially when I'm around"
"Why?" Vegeta asked.
I shrugged, "Cuz she doesn't like to get mad at people like that cuz she hates it when people are mad at her. And she doesn't like to cuss around me. Plus she has a surprising amount of patience. We'd probably better get to work on this mess though, before she loses that patience."
"Good idea," Goku said, "that look in her eyes scared me."
Vegeta sniffed, "Wimp."
Goku frowned at him, "Am not!"
"You're afraid of a human girl who has no powers other than a temper and a bunch of words. You're a wimp," Vegeta said with a smirk.
"I didn't see you doing anything to stop her. I didn't hear you saying you weren't going to do what she told you to, either!"
Vegeta opened his mouth to speak, but I cut him off. "Um, can we please get to work here? If ya'll keep on the way you're going ya'll are gonna get in another fight and get us in trouble again. Beside, don't ya'll wanna get out and see the sights of this town?"
They thought about it a moment, then shrugged. "It's better than getting chewed out again," Vegeta stated and began working on the mess the over turned coffee table made.
Goku nodded and helped me pick up the game pieces. "Question: Why did Rosie say we have to get ready to go out? What's wrong with how we are right now?"
"Ya'll are too noticeable. Everybody will know who you two are the moment they see you, and that will bring too much attention. We need to keep you two on the down low, it'll cause too many problems if people know ya'll are here."
"Oh."
"When Rosie said she wasn't leaving both us here when she's at class, what did she mean?" Vegeta asked.
"I think she meant she'll be taking one of you with her every day."
They both blinked at me. "We're going to college!?" they both yelled.
"Seems that way," I said with out looking up. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the panicked look they were giving each other. I sighed to myself. ~I hope Rosie knows what she's getting into.~

:Aaron: Seriously, I do hope you know what you're doing.

:Rosie: So do I. //Nervously looks at the two Saiyans, they both give her evil grins.// ...help.... :Aaron: //in announcer's voice// Next time on College Life: Goku and Vegeta go clothes shopping at the mall where surprises await. Please review, we love hearing from you.

:Goku: //in sing-song voice// I'm going to college, I'm going to college. //stops// oh crap. I'm going to COLLEGE!! //meeps// I don't wanna go to school! //cries//

:Vegeta: Idiot.

:Aaron and Rosie: Oh boy.
