One Thing Changes Everything

Okay, this is yet another fic that had come to me in a day dream... It seems that most of my stories come from some sort of daydream... Anyways... As I was saying, this story had come to me when I was 'trying' to draw a picture of Goku being handed the medication from Future Trunks back before the Android saga, and then the idea of the time machine being blown up some how... or Goku dropping the glass medicine bottle. And then my little devious mind started to scheme. :) I was thinking that I should make this story a bit different than others you may have read before. It might work... but I need your opinion on the idea. It will be the 'What If' kind of story, I'll be writing a second part of the story to give off the other idea I have in mind to try not to confuse anyone with the stories. The original idea I had would have just downright confused every one... but I'm trying to make this easier to understand. Disclaimer: Will never own DBZ, but I will use the characters so I could put them through cruel and unusual punishment. :)

Chapter One- Broken Time Machine

+§+

"Here's the medicine," stated Trunks as he handed Goku a small glass bottle. "When the symptoms start to occur, take this. It will help to save your life." Goku smiled as he grabbed the bottle. He looked at the clear liquid as it swished in the glass container, and smiled before he placed it in his pocket.

"Thanks! I really appreciate this! But... what about Bulma and Vegeta?" He took a glance at the two before turning to Trunks. "Do you want me to tell them about what role you will play in their lives?" asked the naïve saiyan blinking. Trunks shook his head.

"No, It may cause them to become scared. I want time to play out till the androids..." explained Trunks as he took a glance to his young parents. "It's strange to see all of you alive and well-"

Then it happened; the ground started to shake violently and a loud explosion could be heard not far away from the area. Every head whipped to the mountainside as smoke and fire could be seen creeping over its edge. Trunks' eyes widened. "KUSO!" he shouted flying to where the explosion had occurred.

And when he landed, he noticed a lone warrior from Frieza's ship destroying anything that seemed to belong to his enemy. Trunks looked around in panic; everything was in ruins that he had brought from home. Everything was gone. His ki rose to a dangerously high level causing the lone warriors scouter to break. The warrior paused as he turned around to see Trunks who had now turned into a super saiyan.

"Why... YOU!" he powered up. The lone warrior gasped as he became fearful, he pulled up his ki gun to blast Trunks. But to his disadvantage, Trunks' raised his hands up and created a lone ki blast, and released it. And so, he blasted the warrior to the after life. Trunks lowered his palm to look at the damage done as he slowly walked to the scene; his knee's threatening to give in.

"No," he whispered falling to his knees picking up some pieces of metal that use to be his time machine.

"It, just can't..." Goku rushed to Trunks' side and noticed all of the damage done. Goku gave a low whistle. All sizes of metal pieces were littered on the dirt along with jagged glass shards. The machine was destroyed, completely demolished.

"Wow... look at this mess..." he stated. He looked to Trunks who just sat there. He wasn't moving a muscle.

As soon as everyone, who was waiting for the two to finish their conversation, saw the explosion they ran to the site. And what a mess they saw! As soon as they made it to the area, Trunks gave a war cry and slammed his fists to the ground.

"IT CAN'T BE! IT JUST CAN'T BE!" he exclaimed. He was shaking in furry, frustration, and sadness. "I... I can't go home," he whispered softly. Only Piccolo and the saiyans could hear him as he remained on the ground. "... Never."

Vegeta snorted, "This is pitiful." All turned to the prince, "The one who claims to be a 'super saiyan', the one who destroyed Frieza and his father, King Cold, is bawling like a new born baby." Vegeta crossed his arms, "I would never expect a saiyan warrior to cry. It's absurd! "

Trunks, never having to have dealt with Vegeta before in his life, started to become furious. If a saiyan warrior trained him, this Vegeta would never have a chance to become a father cause to lack of self-control. Trunks mentally sent thanks to his mother, who awaited in the future for him, because he was very, VERY tempted to hurt, or even kill, something at this moment.

Instead, he replied, "If you were in the situation I'm in right now... you would understand." Vegeta snorted.

"I would NEVER cry! I didn't cry when my home planet was destroyed, and I will not start crying because of your preaching on 'If I was in your position'," he said in a mocking tone.

Goku rose up a finger, "Now you wait a moment, Vegeta!" The prince glared to the warrior, "If I remember correctly, you cried when Frieza killed-" Goku wasn't able to complete his sentence due to Vegeta smashing a fist into the warriors' gut, causing him to get the wind knocked out of him.

"Ow! That hurt Vegeta!" exclaimed Goku as he rubbed his stomach. Vegeta flipped the birdie, "Does it look like I care?" The earth saiyan frowned as he hastily turned from the saiyan prince.

Bulma just ignored the men as she went to Trunks. She placed a hand on his shoulder, it slightly startled him, and he turned to his past mother. He slightly blushed noticing his mom smile at him. "Are you sure you're all right?" she asked him. He turned his head away from Bulma, and he remained silenced. She paused for a moment. "This thing that was destroyed, what importance does it hold?" she questioned him. Trunks looked a bit uneasy.

"If you wouldn't want that information reviled, I understand one hundred percent-"

"No, I think you will be the only one to send me home, or at least help me to get home," he replied softly. Bulma slightly tilted her head.

"What was destroyed?" she asked him.

"A time machine." Bulma's eyes widened.

"A WHAT?!" she exclaimed. This caught every one's attention, even Goku and Vegeta, who had continued to argue. "You... You have some explaining to do Mister! And I want the answers now!" she exclaimed. Goku's facial color paled as Trunks' face seemed to turn a slight shade of blue.

"Well?!" questioned Bulma, "We all are listening! And do not, I repeat, I DO NOT want lies to be told!" And now Trunks was stuck with a problem, one huge problem that could change the fate of everyone.
