Chapter 1
Falling from the Sky
The meadow's winds blew quietly. Peace has been restored amongst the Z senshi. Eight long years have come and gone. Trunks is now a young teen, as well as Goten. They laugh as they race through the forests, creeks, and valleys.
Today was special. It was Goten's birthday. So Trunks was keeping him out of the house till Chi-chi and everybody else had set up the party. "So, what do you wanna do, Goten?" asked Trunks, beaming. "Dunno, really." Goten sighed. He closed his eyes and breathed the fresh air. When Goten opened his eyes, he saw a pink cloud in the sky. "H-hey! What's with that cloud?!" Trunks looked up and was shocked. "What…what is it?!" They stood there, staring at the pink cloud.
Suddenly, they saw a person fall out of it. "LOOK!!" Trunks shouted, "A girl came from that cloud!" Goten dashed up on the sky and caught her. As he landed, Goten studied her face. " Look what's on her forehead. A crescent moon. Creepy!" Goten through a sarcastic look at Trunks. He sweat-dropped, then added "Hey. I think she's wakin up."
The girl's crimson eyes opened. "H-hi." Goten nervously said. "M-my name is G-Goten." (Kinda stammering Goten, Aren't ya? -Star Sailor Lethe)
"Where am I?" the Girl asked. "You're on Earth." Trunks said. "Oh.." she hopped out of Goten's arms. "Wait a moment. I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Rini." Rini curtsied before them. "Kinda formal, really." whispered Trunks. Goten elbowed him in his stomach. "Oh this is my friend Trunks." She held out her hand. Trunks stupidly looked at it. "Shake, dummy." Goten hissed. "Oh yeah…right!" he scratched his head.
When he took hold of Rini's hand, Trunks swore he felt a spark. She smiled, making him blush crimson, like her eyes. "You actually were that heavy dress?" asked Trunks. "You must be very hot, since it's summer." Rini wiped her head. "Yeah, your right. I'm going to have to change." "W-what!" Trunks and Goten shouted at once. "Not HERE! In the bushes!" she said with irritation. Rini mumbled something about men are such perverts.
They saw a flash of light and covered their eyes. She came out with a normal-everyday school uniform. "So, where shall we go?" Rini asked. "Well, I guess we'll have to go to my house…"
The door to the Son house opened slightly. Goten peeked in, to find the feeling of loneliness. "Where is everybody?" Goten wondered. "Mom? Dad?" Rini stepped next to him. "Where is your family?" she asked, "Shouldn't they be here on your birthday?" Goten scratched his head slightly. "Where could they have gone?" Trunks began to worry. 'Man, I take out Goten for the whole day till they set up his party, and they ain't here!' He then let out a gusty sigh.
Goten recovered from his dilemma. "Wanna go look for them?" he asked. "I guess…" Trunks replied. "M'kay, you got that way, and I'll go this way." Rini stamped her foot. "H-hey!! What about me?" "Right…. You go that way?" Rini gave them a disagreeable nod. "I can't just walk through the house without one of you two. Your parents might think that I broke in or somethin. Use your heads." "The lady's right Goten." Trunks admitted. "I guess you can come with me then."
They looked through the abandoned house. No sign of anybody. "Some birthday." Goten muttered. "Poor Goten, once I thought when I was little, I thought my family forgot my birthday but it turned out to be a sur-" "What was that?" Trunks laughed nervously, as his hand covered Rini's mouth. He whispered harshly in her ear, "HEY! Watch it lady! You almost gave away the surprise!!" Rini abruptly removed his hand. "Don't you dare touch me! Or I will tell."
"Trunks, call at your house. Maybe someone's there." So he did. "There's…no one there. What's going on?" Goten's head swung left to right. "Okay, Mom and Dad, you've had your laughs, your really scaring me…" No answer. "I guess you both do not have a choice, but to wait." Rini suggested.
Many hours have past. None of them turned up. "What a lousy 15th birthday…" Goten muttered. "Could people just vanish?" Rini asked Trunks. "It depends. Goten's dad us the only one that can teleport places." "I see." Trunks looked at her. "You mean…you're not surprised? I mean that normal humans can't do that sort of thing." She pointed at her forehead as she spoke. "Well, I wouldn't call this normal. Who goes around with a crescent moon on her forehead?" Goten laughed. "Guess your right."
Night falls soon, leaving Goten very disappointed. "Aw, Goten, I'm sorry. Today was supposed to be a surprise." Trunks finally confessed. "It's alright. I guess that it doesn't matter anymore." His eyes turned cold, mixed with the rejection he felt. Rini patted his hand. He turned to her smiling, gentle face that he longed for from his friends and family. Goten managed a weary smile back to her.
Trunks looked at the clock and yawned. "Well, might as go to bed," "Your right. It's late. Rini, I guess you can sleep in my bed. My room's right there." So now the day has past. A beginning of a new day will soon come.
