From the Future with Love:
Chapter 1
He stood there in the middle of nowhere. Looking out towards the rising sun as it placed a kiss upon the rich land. It was beautiful in his eyes. He smiled, before sadly thinking how people in this time take advantage of it.
Trunks looked back at the time machine. No going back. His mother had passed away years after he destroyed the androids, leaving him alone. Alone in a world that was near its death. Every thing was still in runes, for nothing could be fixed.........it was like the entire would was nothing but a graveyard.
A single tear slowly traced its way down the side of his handsome face. He remembered standing there in the middle of fallen building, wondering......Where did he belong? That's when it happened, when he remember her face, full of concern, full of hope. She never let go of her hope that ever thing was going to be all right. The sparkle in her eyes and the small smile she would make when she assured every one around her that things were going to turn out just fine. That's what told him to come back. That's what pushed him to come and see how she was.
He looked down at him self; he didn't want to show up at his mom's house looking like he just stepped out of a war......no that was over. Over the years he aged, turning him in to a handsome man; his hair grew out almost touching the top of his shoulders and he lost that look of childlike innocence on his face. He figured he should come back a bit earlier so that he didn't have to see any of the Z gang old and sick, he guessed he was probably about 5 years younger then his mother........ He didn't think he could stand it to see his mother on a deathbed again.
He took one last look at the time machine before forming a kie blast in his hand. "I hope they don't mine if I become one of the annoying guests that wont leave." And with a sigh he let the blast go, watching as it hit the machine; blasting it to bits.
Trunks turn and then headed for C.C. "Wonder how my father is going to react when he sees me." He said to him self with a small smirk. Yeah, it will be one hell of a shock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trunks walked out the door figuring he would go see Gohan. Seeing his parents went, well you could say ok. As for seeing him self when he was 7, that didn't go all to well. He acted a lot like Vegeta........"Man that's scary." His thoughts coming out with out realizing it. His mother was so happy until his father didn't say to much about him being back, then the next thing he knew an argument broke out. He left as fast as he could leaving the two to argue and his smaller self-sitting there with a look of boredom.
So here he was flying threw the air towards the Son's home. He wondered what Gohan looked like now that he was all grown up, as well as this Goten his mother was telling him about.
"Hmmmm.....she said he looks a lot like Goku. Man to think I would never get to meet him if I didn't come back." He said to himself, as he saw the house come in to view. "Well, looks like him here.........Man...what am I suppose to say?" He thought, "Oh well, I'm sure Chichi wouldn't mined me coming bye to see Gohan.....Hope he isn't in the middle of studying." His thoughts of ChiChi when some one disturbed Gohan when studying came in to mind.
He touched down and took a looked around himself, seeing that the place still stayed the same after all this time. ::Amazing, and so beautiful out here. Peaceful and quiet.....man, I wish I could have that.:: He sadly thought.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out he walked up to the door and knocked. Seconds later he was met with ChiChi's shocked face.
"Oh my Goodness! Trunks!" ChiChi practically yell. "Your back. How have to been? Does Bulma know your back? Oh dear is there more trouble. Oh goodness, I don't think I can handle that. Not now, not with Goten and with out Goku and, oh my, Gohan. Gohan! Have you seen him yet? No you couldn't have, he's at school. He'll be so happy to see you....."
"ChiChi, ChiChi. Calm down. One sentence at a time." Trunks said smiling at ChiChi babbling.
ChiChi stopped and looked down blushing. "I'm sorry Trunks. I'm being so rude. Please come in and have a seat." She said stepping to the side giving him entrance into her home.
He smiled and nodding is head as he walked into the well-kept, clean house and took a seat at the table. "Thanks. And to answer one of your questions. Yes my mother does know I'm here. That's where I came from." He said watching as she got him something to drink.
ChiChi nodded as he answered her question. "That's good. Oh I hope coffee is fine." She asked getting a nod from Trunks. "So how was it to see yourself?" She asked taking a seat.
Trunks made a small laugh. "Well......I guess it was ok. A little disturbing, but ok." He said looking down the hall where he heard a giggle. "I heard you had another kid....." Trunks said looking back at ChiChi who was blushing.
"Goten. Oh I didn't even introduce you to him. Goten! Would you come here for a minute?!" She called for him. Smiling as he ran in and up to her, before looking at Trunks.
"Who's that mom?" He asked, his confusion showing, having Trunks smile.
::Man, he does look like Goku. Wow....:: He thought seeing him for the first time.
"This Goten, is Trunks. Remember the stories Gohan told you about Vegeta's son from the future?" She asked looking down at Goten.
".....Trunks....Wow, you're my best friend in this time. Did you see him? I guess that makes you my best friend too. Gohan told me all about you. Did you really slice up Frieza and save my dad and -"
"Goten calm down." ChiChi said when he began jumping up and down as his talking started to seep up.
"Sorry mom. Wait till Gohan gets back. He's going to go crazy." Goten said looking up to Trunks.
Trunks couldn't stop smiling, Goten was just so cute. "Well, I can't wait to see him." He said before looking up to ChiChi. "Will he be back soon?"
"Oh, he's probably on his way." She said getting up to fix lunch. "Just make yourself at home."
"Yeah, make your self at home........Wanna see my new game! Come on!" Goten yelled before grabbing Trunks by the hand and pulling him off to his room.
A few minute latter ChiChi turned to see Gohan walk threw the door. "Hi Gohan. Your day go well?"
"Yeah, it was good. I'm going out with Vidal tonight." He said looking down before blushing. "I was wondering if that would be alright." He asked; you could hear the hope in his voice as well as the nervousness.
ChiChi smiled at his shyness. "Of course you can go out Gohan. She seems nice and besides.....She's rich, and will make my boy happy. And, you need to get out and have a little fun." She said turning back to the food she was making.
Gohan smiled. "Thanks mom.....You know.....maybe you should get out a little more too." He said having ChiChi turn around surprised. "You know meet someone."
"What?....Gohan you know I couldn't do that.....I just....I just can't." She said looking down as her eyes started to water.
Gohan sighed, almost regretting he said it. Almost. He walked up to her and hugged his mother, holding her in his strong arms, kind of like the way she held him when he was a child. "Mom. I didn't mean to make you cry." He said as she began can to weep into his gie. He pulled a way and looked down to her, having her look up. "Mom, please stop crying." His voice soft.
"Gohan you don't understand. I can't replace him. I can't! I could never!" She yelled.
"I'm not telling you too!" Gohan yelled, but stopped realizing he did so. " Mom....I'm sorry. I'm just saying, I hate seeing you like this. Especially Goten. He hears you cry at night, and then he comes to me and asks me why you are. Mom I don't know what to tell him. He thinks he's doing it." He told her having her realize why Goten has been wanting to help her all the time as well as crawl into her bed. " Mom....... he's not coming back. Not this time."
His words struck ChiChi strait in the heart. Having her fall into Gohan embrace again. "I know....I know Gohan.....I just don't want to believe it." She cried out. How could she, that's was her life was about. Goku. It was all Goku. Find him, marry him. Have a family with him and die together.....not alone.
Gohan looked down at her as he held her. Wishing he could make all her tears disappear. "Mom. You don't have to be alone forever. I want you to be happy. To have a relation ship. You'll never replace dad. That's imposable, but it's not imposable for you to love some one else. Some one who will make you happy." He said into her hair.
"Hey, I thought I heard voices......ChiChi....You ok?" Trunks smile fell as soon as he saw ChiChi in tears as Gohan held her.
"Trunks? Wow, when you get here?" Gohan said bewildered as he felt his mother leave his arms.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm fine Trunks. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner Gohan. Well I'll let you two talk." She said wiping her eyes and walking out. "I think I'll go check on Goten and see what he's doing." She said leaving the two alone to talk.
"Man. You look so much older." Gohan said not believing that the one young teen-ager was now this man who was old enough to be his father, though he didn't look it. Sayain blood.
"Yeah, well time will do that to ya." Trunks said with a laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trunks spent the rest of the day there talking to Gohan and telling him and ChiChi about what happened in his time line. As well as listening to Gohan tell him some interesting things that have been happening, Goten jumping in to finish a sentence every one in a while.
"Wow, I can't believe it's so late." Trunks said looking out side too see the sun just set.
"Late! Oh man, I'm late!" Gohan said jumping up and looking at his watch. " I was suppose to pick Vidal up an hour ago. She's going to kill me!" He said running out the door. "Bye mom, Goten. I'll talk to you later Trunks. Don't wait up!" He yelled back before flying off.
ChiChi smiled and began picking up the plates they used for dinner. "That boy. Never could keep track of time." She said having Goten giggle.
"Man, Vidal is going to be so mad at Gohan. Do you think she'll dump him?" Goten asked looking at his mother, and smiled at him.
"No, I don't think she will. Not if she really likes him." She replied.
"I agree with your mother, Goten. From what Gohan told me about her, she seems to really like him." Trunks said getting up to give ChiChi a hand.
ChiChi took the plate from him and put it in to the sink. "Now Trunks you're a guess. You don't have to do that. Oh, and I think you should stay here tonight. It's way to late for you to be flying back to C.C. I'm sure Goten wouldn't mined if you sleep in his bed, seeing that he's been sleeping in mine for the past week." She said eyeing Goten, making him look at her while taking a drink of water.
She couldn't blame him though. Now that she knew that her crying had made him start crawling into her bed making excuses about not being able to sleep. He just wanted to make sure she didn't cry. That made her smile. "Goten why don't you go take a bath and get ready for bed."
"Ok, mom." He said running out of the room and up stairs.
Trunks looked at ChiChi and smiled as he started to rinse the soapy dishes against ChiChi's wishes. "Thanks for letting me spend the night........So why exactly where you crying earlier?" He asked concerned. He didn't like to see her hurt. For some reason just her smile made him feel good,..... her tears made him want to hold her.
ChiChi shook her head. "Oh nothing you need to worry about. I'm fined, besides you have other things on your mined right now. So many people to go see and visit......" She said hopping that he would drop it, not caring that he was helping her any more.
Trunks took the hint and placed a hand on hers that was still in the dishwater. "ChiChi.......if you need to talk. I'm right here. For anything......." He said looked down at her as she turned to look up at him.
That touch......just that small touch made her whole body just stop. "It's getting late. I think I'll wait till tomorrow to finish this up. Good night Trunks." She said leaving the room.
Trunks looked down in to the dishwater and sighed. That's not how he expected it to go. He figured a long eye gaze, and then move in for the kill......A kiss...... A kiss he had been dreaming about for a long time. Turning out the light he walked up to Goten's room with hopes of dreams with ChiChi.
