set in Mirari trunks's future, and the past he goes back to








~ a girl stumbles into capsule corp bulinding, she calls out. Her hand is clutching her stomach, where blood is poring through her hand. Trunks rushes to her and takes her to a bed. Bulma nad Tunks take care of her Making her strong. The girl's name is Piper, and she is strong. Half sayian like Trunks. She is a sayian, strong, brave, purehearted.~







Trunks?" Trunks's eyelids fluttered open. He saw his mother leaning over him,

"MOm its really you!"

"overcours" the conversation continued until......



"bulma, the time machine is kink free. Now you can protect this time from ever happening." Piper walked in, wiping her greasy hands on a cloth.


"thanks piper. I know you'll enjoy the past"


"huh?" Trunks asked while bulma and Piper smiled.



" I'm coming with you baka." Piper told him, her eyes alight. Trunks nodded and looked Piper over. she was tall as he was, with Medium brown hair cut to her neckline. Her eyes were brown, but they always looked lighter because Piper's eyes were always shining, with laughter. She was very well built, trunks thought, but he was more attrached to her by her nature. She was "like Goku" his mother had said." but wiht an aged mind" Trunks understoud what his mother had said. Piper was very intelligent. Trunks really enjoyed her company, she would be welcomed on the lonely trip to the past.


"okay" he said as cheerfully as one could with two broken ribs.


"you'll have to the first part, giving the medicine to goku, alone but the rest should be okay with both of you" Bulma mused. Trunks and Piper looked at eachother, Bulma didn't know that the two were kissing in secret. You couldn't really go out with crazy androids on the lose.


"I'm sure Trunks will enjoy your company." bulma told Piper.


"I'm sure he will." Piper smiled at Trunks.

It had been three months. Trunks had come back from giving the medcined to goku and was now waiting for the time machine to recharge. Now he was training with piper, and ocasionally they would take time out to kiss. The androids had been lying low for a while, but Trunks and Piper still trained everday. then one night, Trunks came into Piper's bedroom to talk...............


"Piper?" trunks called softly from the door way.



"hey" she replied. Sitting up in her bed, clutching the covers to her chest. Trunks looked embarassed as he sat down at the edge of the bed.


"can I talk to you?" he asked, shy as a little kid.



"sure, what about?"



"do you think the time machine, will work a second time?"




"yeah, why not?"



"well I don't konw, what if we get stuck in a time somewhere and we cant get out?"piper thought for a moment.


"we'll just live there, until we can build a better one,, I guess."


oh"


"what?"


"huh?"

"you have a thinking face, what are you thinking about?"


"oh, nothing"


"that isn't a nothing face, tell me"


"I don't know, it's stupid"

"trunks" piper set her hand on his, sending a wave of plesure through Trunks. "tell me"


Trunks blushed slightly "how does the time machine work?"


"oh" Piper smiled as she leaned on one hand. " Well, first, you have somthing to hold the power, that powers the time machine right? so there's this huge quartz crystal in ther middle with a shell of titanium, that conducts the energy and....." piper cringed.



"you okay?" trunks asked, worry in his eyes.


:yeah, I just sprained my elbow a few days ago, and it hasn't healed" she leaned on her arm again, but it gave way, Piper was now lying pretty flat on her bed. Trunks layed down next to her

"continue" he pleaded. Piper smiled.


"well, time is a continuing strech and we want to get to one specific point so....." piper continued explaining well into the night.

It was morning. Bulma walked to piper's room, the computer was messing up again, and piper was very good at fixing these things. She shoved open the door with her foot and stomped in.



"piper, that infernal machine is...." She dropped the screw driver she was holding. Piper was sleeping on her side, facing the wall, with.(gasp) Trunks's arm draped around her waist. It wasn't just his arm that was in the bed either. all of Trunks was there, lying next to her. Trunks groaned and opened his eyes.

"uhno" he said as he saw his mom standing in the door way, her eyes wide.

"mom, it's not what it looks like" Trunks pulled his arm away from piper's waist, relising what a odd position bulma had caught them in.

"Trunks" bulma said through clenched teeth. "go get dressed" Trunks looked down at his clothes. A short sleeved shirt, and pants qualified as clothes for him, so he didn't move.

"don't hurt her mom" Trunks pleaded with his mother. bulma looked shocked. "I wasn't going to sweetie I just want to talk to her is all."

Trunks didn't like the sound of that, but still he went out side anyway. As soon as the door was closed, he pressed his ear to the door.


"Trunks?" Piper called sleepily

"hello piper" bulma said.
