Disclaimer: Ok, I do not own DBZ, yadda yadda yadda...Oh, and if you haven't read my profile bio thingy lately, it states that Raiko and Vegeta had Trunks instead of Vegeta and Bulma. Why? Because I despise that damn woman! She's evil! I hate her! *ahem* anyway, I didn't feel like creating a NEW character, so I just erased Bulma and put in Raiko! Get the picture? You better, or I'll--....just read the story...

"Mom? Dad?' said a little voice by the side of the bed. Raiko blinked her eyes open, Vegeta groaning and turning over beside her as she flipped on the lamp. Trunks stood at the side of the bed, looking up at her with the most adorable face she had ever seen.

"What's wrong, Trunks?" she cooed, lifting him onto her lap. He sniffed, wiping away tears that were running down his cheeks. Vegeta sat up, rubbing his right eye.

"What's wrong with the brat now?" he mumbled, not so keen about the wake up call at one in the morning. Raiko shushed him, and then turned back to Trunks who awaited his mother's advice.

"I had a bad dream..." he sobbed, hugging his mother close. She just about burst into tears because he was just so CUTE! Then she patted him on the back and asked,

"What was it about? Did it have to do with anyone close?" Trunks looked up at her, crying.

"I dreamt that...that you a-and Dad were murdered by some bank robbers..." he cried, "I was terrified! I can't sleep now! It's the most horrible dream ever!" Raiko looked back at Vegeta, who looked at his son with sympathy he had never shown before.

"You wanna sleep in our bed?" Vegeta asked, reaching out and touching Trunks' hair. Trunks pulled away, afraid that his father might hurt him, but Vegeta picked him up and laid him down between him and Raiko. He then smiled and laid back himself, his arms behind his head. Raiko smiled, laughing to herself, and got back under the covers. They fell asleep, all cuddled up together as a family should be.

Maria: there. It's DONE. I just sat down and typed this little thing up after I took a shower. Just a random thought going through my head. Also, I love my Vegeta and can't live without him! Huzzah! But you knew that already...Ooh! I get to see Vegeta tomorrow! Which is March 14th! Do you know how HAPPY I am? Probably not, but...yeah, anyway...
