Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z. There will be a new character introduced eventually. I just like to write for fun, so if it is not that great, please bear with me, I don't have a beta (. Thank you for reading!


Chapter One: The Decision

Trunks could feel the morning chill on his skin, and breathed in the moisture of the dew.

It had been 18 months; 18 months since she left this world, and his heart was still heavy, as if she had only died yesterday.

After defeating the last threats of his world, Trunks found solace in his mother, Bulma, and together as a family, they helped bring the city back from the dead.

For five years she was there to help guide him, and keep him company, but all that was gone now.

He looked out at the rising sun behind the silhouette of the city, and closed his eyes.

Images flashed before him of friends and family. The happy smiles, all crushed by death. No one was left. He was alone. Alone.

He slowly opened his eyes, trying to keep back the tears that began to tug at his heart. He just couldn't go back home anymore, for it was now an empty shell of what used to be his home ever since she died.

Mother…I wish you were here to counsel me, and tell me what I should do.

He knelt down on the moist grass, and placed his fingers upon the words etched in the stone grave. How he longed to return to a time where there were smiles, and happiness, and peace.

Return to a time…

He stood up, hung his head, and clenched his fists in frustration and anger.

NO MORE!

No more death, no more loneliness! I can't take it much more!

If only I can return to a time…to feel happiness again.

He could feel the wind upon his cheeks, blowing away the tear that escaped from his eye.

Trunks looked up towards the sky and watched the clouds move with the wind. He was transfixed by the way the clouds had a pink hue from the morning sun.

Return to a time…

A smile began to come across his face as the realization set in. He would return to a time of happiness, if only for a short while.

He closed his eyes and stretched out his arms to feel the wind warp around him as if his mother was there to tell him to go.

He finally felt somewhat at peace, knowing that there would be hope for him.

His stomach began to jump with excitement at the prospect of getting to see the smiles of those he loved.

Trunks then placed the rose he held in his hand down upon the grass next to his mother's grave and whispered, "I will see you again."
