The Past and Future
Chapter 4
Trunks tried to figure out how to charge the space craft's battery. It was totally different from his Time Machine. Bula was still sleeping and he didn't want to wake her yet. She just came back from a school trip and told him everything that she did and then she fell asleep.
Trunks searched for the blue print of his Time Machine in his mother's room. Bulma always kept her research or blue prints in her room and this made things easier for Trunks to search for them.
Trunks found the blue print and studied every single thing. There were things that he didn't understand albeit he could read his mother's handwriting. He found out about the battery and tried to use the same charger to the space craft's battery.
This will take a lot of time, thought Trunks. He pushed the button at the space craft and it turned into a capsule. Then he put the capsule in the charger's cluster and prayed that the space craft will be fully charged.
He went to his room and Bula was still sleeping. She still wore her school uniform. Trunks smiled and went to the living room and watched TV. Few minutes later, Bula woke up and found him in the living room. She sat next to him and yawned.
"Are you having a nice dream?" Trunks asked.
She nodded and rubbed her sleepy eyes. "I dream of flying with birds in the sky," she said, "and I wish I could fly."
Trunks looked at her. "You never fly on your own before? I mean, did your father teach you about flying technique?" he asked.
"No. I never trained before. Daddy told me to study hard and be smart like Mommy. But I watched him trained in Gravity Room once," she told Trunks.
Trunks remember being in the Gravity Room with Vegeta before fighting the perfect Cell and they continued their training in the Hyperbolic Chamber.
"I learn something at the school trip today," she said as Trunks was being silence for a while. "I learn how to make a kite. We stopped at the kite shop before going back to school and the shop uncle taught us how to make one."
"Shop uncle? You mean the owner of the shop?" Bula nodded.
"Let's make a kite!" she cheered and jumped on the sofa. "Come on, Onii-chan! Let's do a kite together! Then we can play kite at the park!"
"Whoa, whoa, little lady. Don't jump on the sofa or you're going to break it. Well, let's see. Today is sunny and a little bit windy," Trunks looked at his watch that could tell the weather, "and I think it's a perfect time to play kite. Let's go to Aunt Cici's house," he winked at Bula.
Bula cheered and hugged him. Bula hurried to her room and changed her clothes. Then Trunks lifted her up and carried her on his back. "Hold on tight, Bula. We're going to fly!"
Bula held on his neck and shouted happily as Trunks lifted off from their house. They reached Cici's house few minutes later. Bula told them about the kite that she learned from the trip.
"All you need are papers and bamboo. And don't forget the strings, scissors and glue," said Ranchi.
"I'll go and get the bamboo at the forest nearby. Don't worry, I won't be long," said Chiao Zu.
"I want to go too!" Bula raised her hand.
"Oh no, you don't, young lady. It's dangerous and let Chiao Zu find the bamboo," said Trunks. Bula made a sulky face but she smiled again when Chiao Zu came back.
Bula and Chiao Zu made their own kites with a little help from Trunks. Bula was so happy and she couldn't wait to fly her kite.
"Come, let's go outside and fly these kites," said Chiao Zu. Bula nodded and trotted behind him as he went outside.
Chiao Zu held tight to the string and ran as fast as he could. His kite slowly lifted from the ground flew high up to the sky.
"It's flying! It's flying!" Bula shouted happily. "Now, it's my turn!" Bula did the same as Chiao Zu but her kite didn't go up. She ran and ran again until she felt she wanted to cry.
Trunks sighed and walked up to her and patted her head. "Now, now, Bula. Don't cry. Let me help you fly your kite. Here, you hold on the string and I'll hold to your kite. When I count in three, you run as fast as you can, got it?"
Bula nodded and held to the string once more. Trunks held to her kite and count to three. Bula ran as fast as she could and Trunks let her kite go. This time, her kite flew and she laughed joyfully.
Cici and Ranchi watched them nearby and were happy seeing Bula, Trunks and Chiao Zu laughed merrily.
"If Bulma was here, she'll be happy to see them," said Cici and looked up to the sky.
"Yeah. She will. And I think she's looking at us now from the Heaven," Ranchi smiled.
Trunks and Bula went back home after eating dinner with Cici, Ranchi and Chiao Zu. Bula was asleep when Trunks carried her home. She was holding her kite while sleeping and she had a joyful day. He tucked her in bed and hung the kite on the wall. Then he realized something written on the kite's tail.
Bula scribbled her name and Trunks' on the kite's tail. Trunks smiled lie down next to her. It was the best day he ever had.
