Title: If I Had a Heart
Rating: T for now ((ratings may change due to swearing in future chapters))
Summary: A mysterious girl shows up, saying she's searching for someone, and only Vegeta has ever met her before. ((Trunks/OC implied, but fear not. It's not what it seems.))
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my own, original characters. You will be able to tell who they are.
Notes: As said, Trunks/OC will be implied, but it isn't one of those stories.
"Thanks for inviting us over. It's an absolutely beautiful evening!" Bulma said, smiling brightly as she walked into the modest house.
"Oh we always love having our get together! I love having a reason to cook," Chichi responded and finished tossing the salad. "Are Gohan and Videl here yet?"
"No… oh! Yes they are! I'll set up this tablecloth and tell him to come help you," the light blue haired woman said. She swiped the huge, homemade tablecloth from the kitchen chair. She walked outside and toward the giant picnic table that the cloth was to cover. Gohan was just walking up the hill when he was greeted by Bulma.
"Hey!" He waved. Bulma smiled and waved back.
"Don't get too comfortable mister! Your mother wants your help! If you sayjins plan on downing all that food, you have to at least help being it out!" She laughed.
"I suppose so.. Videl, why don't you help with the tablecloth? I'll be out in a minute," Gohan said and walked into his former home.
"Hey, Videl, have you see that son of kami forsaken husband on mine?" The older woman asked as they started to unfold the tablecloth.
"I think I saw them in the clearing by the river. Pan made us pull over so tht she could join the boys in their crazy version of football," she said and smirked.
"Really? What are the teams?"
"Goku and Vegeta against Goten and Trunks."
(meanwhile, at the fucked up version of American football)
"Trunks!" Goten called out and launched the ball almost the entire length of a normal football field. They played almost three times that size. Trunks was about to catch it when Goku teleported in his way and intercepted.
"We going too fast for you, boys?" Vegeta asked, smirking at his son. Goku tossed it back, but a little blur of color whisked the ball away.
"Pan, over here!" Goten called out and started rushing his niece. She passed it off to him and headed down their 'field' with Trunks for a pass. Soon, they had another touchdown. The younger Sayjins won.
"I dunno, maybe you guys are getting too old for us. Next time, you can have Pan. You need some young blood!" Trunks laughed and tossed the ball lightly over to his parter in crime.
"No way man! I am not playing with lose losers!" She shouted and tossed it to Goku.
"Aw, we were going easy on you! Weren't we Vegeta?" Goku said and grinned.
"We didn't want to break a sweat before dinner. Your mothers would have our heads!" He said and smirked. Things were really quite laid back and enjoyable. NO source of real stress what so ever. Goten and Trunks glanced at each other. They had broken a sweat. The both hit their foreheads. Vegeta and Goku snickered at them.
They came upon the house and were just about to sit down when Chichi suddenly halted. "Goten! Trunks! Don't you even think about sitting at my table until you two have cleaned yourselves up!" The two boys groaned and went into the house. They pulled off their shirts and tossed them into Chichi's hamper then grabbed others from Goten's dresser. They walked out a few minutes later to sit and eat.
The dinner when very well. Everyone managed to get along, except for a few idle threats from Vegeta. Chichi, at the end, had been in such a good mood that she allowed the boys to get out of cleaning off the table. This time though, Pan was forced into labor. The guys all volunteered though, being the obedient husbands and sons they were. "As soon as we get this cleaned, I'll pull out dessert for everyone." The guys gave out a little cheer and sped up. But soon, it slowed down rapidly.
Trunks walked out to bring in the plate and for in which the steaks had been cooked with. He had just scooped it all up when suddenly— something hit him. Not physically, but mentally. He distinctly felt something was quickly approaching. He dropped the plate and walked doff into the woods, as if transfixed on something.
He wasn't the only one to stop working. One by one, the Sayjins started to line up, looking towards the sky. They all turned around, silently, searching the appearing stars. "Do you guys. . ." Goku started, but he trailed off.
"Fell something coming?" No Kakarot, we just like standing here, staring at the sky blankly," Vegeta said sarcastically. "Oh course we do! Where's the brat of mine?"
"I don't know where Trunks got to," Goten muttered and kept turned around.
"No use looking! Whatever it is, it won't be here until the morning a the very earliest!" Vegeta spat. Trunks then walked back into view. "There he is. What the hell were you doing?"
"I thought something was coming," Trunks shrugged.
"Well so did do were, but you don't see us randomly wandering off, do you?" The Sayjin prince growled. Trunks just shrugged.
"I thought it might be landing."
"Don't be stupid! I just told them—it wont be here until morning at best. You should have at least been able to tell that," Vegeta said.
"Oh? It's that far away? Whatever it is, it must be powerful I could feel it nearing all of dinner. I expected if to be close, for the level I was sensing."
They all went back in to finish cleaning up their mess. Except for Vegeta. He stood, arms crossed and brows furrowed, thinking. The energy he was feeling seemed very familiar. Then his eye twitched. He was probably the only one who could feel even a remote recognition. He wished he hadn't though. He didn't want her to show up.
t.b.p.: I was bored over the weekend and ended up going through one of my old Rpgs that was my character and Trunks based. It started me into my DBZ mood, and I felt I needed to write a story for it. I've had a few with this same character, but I think this one is the best. It actually has a good plot line. I even ran it by my friend, Clow12391 and she approved. If this is successful, I may write a prequle. You'll see in the later on chapters.
Please, as always, I am open to constructive critizism. But, as always, I do not like people who are going to point out stupid mistakes like typos. I don't plan on correcting that. But if it is a real mistake you see, something pertaining to the series or a discrepancy, please, please, PLEASE tell me.
thanks,
your humble servent,
the black panther.
