Trying to Get Back

Chapter One
"What do you mean you're not going?" Vegeta looked coolly from his daughter to the machine that was supposed to take them back home.

"I don't want to go!" She pointed to Mirai Trunks. "I have friends here. You never cared about me!"

Pan looked shocked, "How can you say that?" She paused, "Is this about your birthday?"

Bra took a step back. "My birthday? How can you ask that? Do you think that I would really do all of this just because of my birthday?" She took another step backwards. "How could you say that?"

"Say what?!" Trunks' hand shook with frustration as he pointed at Bra. "We haven't said anything!"

Bra's anger flooded away and was replaced by sadness, "No. You haven't, have you?" she turned around and slowly walked away from the scene.

"Bra! Wait!" Pan raced after her friend.

Bra sat in the swing, her legs dangling as the breeze slightly pushed her.

Oh look dearie, you didn't want to chose?

"No,"

So you did the selfish thing and ran away from making a choice,

Bra nodded. "Who are you?"

You mean you still haven't figured it out? Bra didn't move. Why, dearie, I'm you.

Pan found Bra sitting on a swing in an abandoned playground. Her skin was pale, and her face was distracted. "Bra?" Bra turned slightly and looked at Pan. Her eyes grew a little wider, and she returned her unfocused gaze to the grass below her. "Bra, I want to talk to you about your birthday," Bra still didn't respond. "We didn't forget, you know. We planned a surprise party for you the next day." Bra turned back to her, but still didn't speak. Pan took a deep breath and looked at her friend, "I'm sorry if it looks like we forgot - "

"NO!" Bra jumped out of the swing and turned to face Pan. "It's not true!" She sank to the ground and sobbed. "... It's not true ... "

"Bra, are you all right?!" Pan fell to the ground and shook her friend's shoulder. "What's not true?"

"She's not me! She's not me!"

"Who's not you?!" Trunks asked as he appeared from behind Pan. He ran to his sister and tried to pull her to her feet. "What's wrong?"

Bra grew silent, then turned to face him, her face streamed with tears. She looked down to the dry grass she was sitting on, her eyes filled with tears, and she started crying again.

You don't actually buy that birthday story, do you? Lies...

"Shut UP!" Bra screamed and brought her hands to her ears. She shrugged away from Trunks' grasp, and shook her head violently. More tears fell from her eyes as she listened to "herself "

"How could you be me?"


Okay, this is chapter one of my sequel to "Run Away From Time". I like this story so far. Now, I am going to continue this the way it's going, whether I post it or not. If you like this, then please tell me in your reviews. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. If no one likes this story, then I'm still going to write it, just not on ff.net.

I finally have more time to write, so I'm concentrating on this one and "Where Did My Daughter Go? part ii".
