Life of a Hero
By Tapion Trunks
(A/N This is my first fiction so if it sucks, please bear with me. I am also using FF.net's system of italics and stuff for the first time as well so if those don't work forgive me.)
Disclaimer: I don't own DB/Z/GT. If I did I would be rich. I have a total of about 25 bucks, four sticks of gum, and some pocket lint. Do I sound rich?
This takes place in the Mirai timeline at first in case you can't figure it out.
When Mirai Trunks returned to his timeline and defeated the androids and Cell he dismantled the Time Machine.
___Change in time or place. '…' Thinking.
Mirai Trunks woke up and looked at the calendar on his wall. It was September 6th. Exactly one week before the anniversary of the day Gohan died. If only there we some way he could see him again…or at least hear him. He missed him horribly.
He woke up after realizing what happened then went looking for him. He couldn't sense Gohan's ki so either he was dead or very near it. He flew along a street until he saw him. He walked up to him not daring to believe. He crouched down beside him and shook his body hoping he was only unconscious. No response. He shook him again.
"Gohan-san."
No response.
"Gohan-san…!"
Still nothing. It had started raining recently but he didn't notice.
"Gohan-san!"
Nothing. There was no response. No cheerful smile or laughter ever again.
"GOHAN-SAAAN!!!"
"Trunks, breakfast is ready!" Bulma called. Trunks jerked out of his reverie and walked out of his room and into the kitchen where a gigantic mound of pancakes awaited him. He poured syrup and butter on them and started to eat only as a Saiya-jin can. He ate in total silence unlike the normal talk he usually started up (well between bites anyway).
"Trunks what's wrong?" Bulma asked." You seem so depressed."
"It's just that…the anniversary of Gohan's death is in a week. I just miss him I guess."
"Oh…" Bulma said. Suddenly her face lit up. " I have an idea!"
"What is it?" Trunks asked, finishing off the last of his pancakes.
"Trunks do you remember where the blueprints for the time machine are?" Bulma asked.
"Yes I do," Trunks replied.
"Good go get them! I have some work to do." Bulma said happily and dashed off to her lab.
"I wonder what she's so happy about?" Trunks wondered before going back to his room. He changed into his normal T-shirt and jacket and put on some jeans. He walked to his mother's room where he knew the blueprints would be. He opened a cabinet on the dresser and rifled through some papers until he found what he was looking for. He pulled out the blueprints for the Time Machine and went to his mother's lab. She was hovering over something muttering to herself.
"Then this would go here…and then this…hmmm I could add that in…"
" Mom?" Trunks said, " I have the blueprints."
"Okay good!" She took the blueprints from him. " Trunks could you help me put the Time Machine back together?" Bulma asked him.
"Why?" Trunks asked.
"I'll tell you when we're done." She answered.
"Okay I'll help, but remember you said you'd tell me."

"Phew, we're finally done." Bulma said, wiping her brow.
"So why did we rebuild the time machine anyway…with a cappuccino machine." Trunks asked. He looked over at her. She was asleep on the floor. "Wow she must have been really tired…" He glanced at the clock on the wall. Eleven o' clock. "I have to be getting to bed too…" He picked up the sleeping Bulma and carried her into her room and put her on the bed, then pulled the blankets over her. He went into his room and fell asleep immediately.
He awoke the next morning to the smells of breakfast. He pulled himself out of bed and walked into the kitchen. He piled toast onto his plate and started eating.
"So mom, what was with rebuilding the Time Machine anyway?" Trunks asked, between mouthfuls.
"Come into the lab and I'll tell you." Bulma said.
"Your drawing this out on purpose aren't you?" Trunks asked, accusingly.
"Of course!" Bulma laughed.
Trunks finished his breakfast and went into the lab with his mother.
"The other timeline has an Eternal Dragon right Trunks?" His mother asked.
"Yes it does," He said.
"Well I was thinking that we could wish Gohan back."
"We could couldn't we?!" Trunks exclaimed, happily.
"But you would only have six days if you left today. The dragon can only bring someone back who has died within the space of a year." Bulma said. "So you'd have to get the dragonballs pretty fast if you want to wish him back."
"I'll do it! All I'll need is my sword, because the past you should have everything else I'll need." He ran to his room and reappeared a dew seconds later with his sword. He climbed into the time machine and punched in the co-ordinates.
"Goodbye mom! I'll probably come back with Gohan!" Trunks hit the "Go" button on the control panel and was gone.
"Good luck Trunks…" Bulma whispered.
