"No! No! No! No!" Skyley just continue to cry out and struggle against Trunks as he held and kept her from running away.
"Skyley, please calm down! It's ok; everything is going to be ok! I won't let anyone hurt you!" Trunks yelled over her constant screaming.
After a few minutes Skyley had worn herself down and fell to her knees while Trunks had her around her waist.
"Skyley, what is going on? Do you know who this scent belongs to?" Trunks asked seriously as he held onto her.
Skyley didn't say anything; she just nodded her head.
"Do you wanna get out of here for a little while?" Trunks asked, looking at Skyley. He was hoping that if he got her away from here that maybe she would open up to him.
"Can I get some things?" Skyley asked softly.
"What do you want; I'll get whatever you need and you can go wait in the car with the cats." Trunks suggested.
"Clothes, blankets, pillows and my stuffed bear?" Skyley asked softly, unsure.
"That's fine. What about a brush, tooth brush and such?" Trunks asked.
"Yes please." Skyley said looking down.
"Ok…mom!" Trunks called to his mother.
"Yes, what is it?" Bulma asked concerned.
"Can you take Skyley to the car?" Trunks asked looking at his mother.
"Sure. Come on sweetie." Bulma said calmly as she helped Skyley to the car.
"So what's going on?" Goten asked looking at Trunks.
"I'm going to grab some of Skyley's and my things and see if we can stay at a hotel or something…" Trunks sighed.
"Oh no you don't…" Bulma said coming back to where her son and everyone else were.
"Mom…we can't stay here; it destroyed. Not to mention she's freaked out. We'll be fine." Trunks said reassuring his mother.
"You're right about the girl being freaked out…something about this scent petrifies her. Do you think taking her to a hotel or motel where this person or thing could find her is the right thing to do? Not to mention all the innocent people that could and probably would get hurt… Think boy!" Vegeta exclaimed pissed off.
"Your father's right; you need to come home. We're way better than a crappy hotel or motel any day. Not to mention…we're free…" Bulma said looking at Trunks.
"I suppose…I will need the money to fix this place up so that we can come home…" Trunks started.
"Oh no…" Vegeta and Bulma started.
"Now what?" Trunks asked annoyed.
"We can fix this place up for you just fine…" Bulma started.
"Mom, this is my house; I can fix it by myself with my friends…" Trunks started.
"That's not what we're saying Trunks; we're saying it's time for you to move back in with Skyley." Vegeta explained what his wife was unable to get out.
"You're kidding me right?" Trunks asked looking at his parents.
"No…and we've already called everyone; they're on their way. Trunks; think about Skyley…" Bulma started.
"I am thinking about Skyley! I mean come on; we have two cats! Do you really think she's going to want to get rid of them?!" Trunks asked pissed off.
"We're here! Oh…is this a bad time?" Yamcha asked as he, Tien, Leriac, Berry, Piccolo, Krillin, 18, 17, Chiaotzu, Dende, Chi-Chi, Videl, Yamcha's girlfriend Gigi, and Master Roshi showed up. Tandy, Peaches, Pan and Marron were with Bulla.
"Just go start packing up the house and then take it to our place." Bulma explained looking at everyone.
"Yes ma'am…" They all said as they went to work.
"Mom…" Trunks started.
"You don't think I know she has cats? I went and got them remember? We're not going to make you two get rid of S'mores and Snickers; we would never make you get rid of them. Trunks…I know you think you think about her; but you're not. Right now you're not thinking straight. Your house was broken into and destroyed…and Skyley's room was hit the worst of it all. Trunks, she's in danger… And as much as you hate this, our place, where your dad is as well is safest. Trunks, wouldn't it be best if there was more than just you to protect her?" Bulma asked seriously, finally getting through to Trunks…she hoped.
"I suppose…but the whole reason I moved out was so I could be on my own and be independent…" Trunks sighed.
"What if you still could be?" Bulma asked looking at him.
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked suspiciously.
"I mean…you and Skyley could live in the basement!" Bulma exclaimed excitedly.
"The basement?" Trunks asked in disbelief.
"It's not what you think; your dad and I fixed it up. There's an actual ceiling and flooring in there now. We put four bedrooms, a decent sized living room full bath and a half bath down there. And…to add to it being your own apartment, there's even a small kitchen. Sure, it's not as nice as my kitchen…but it's there so that you can have your independence. Also, there's a barrier around it so that it makes it harder to detect certain powers or people like Skyley." Bulma explained.
"How long have you had this planned?" Trunks asked crossing his arms.
"When we first found about Skyley and her being your proper mate…the day you told us you saved her from being raped. Well…actually, your mom wanted to renovate the basement way before that. But the barrier and certain other things were about that time. Now…with that bullshit out of the way…because we're not giving you a choice; you're both moving in. You need to fucking mark her already! With her reaction today, someone is coming after her; and I'm guessing it's a strong someone. I don't care how either of you feel; you need to claim what's yours. Do I make myself clear?" Vegeta asked a pissed of Trunks.
"Crystal." Trunks said annoyed.
"Good. now, we'll finish getting your shit packed and then we'll go home, get shit ready for a late party and go from there. Then tomorrow or whenever, we'll fix this place up and put it on the market." Vegeta explained.
"And don't worry Trunks; any and all money that you get from selling this place you can keep. I mean…you did buy this place after all…Trunks, I'm sorry…but this is what is for the best…" Bulma said looking at her son…who was now upset.
"Yes…I know…let's just get everything packed and whatnot." Trunks sighed as he entered the house.
"Woman…go keep the girl company." Vegeta said calmly.
Bulma didn't say anything; she just went to the car…startling Skyley.
"No…it's ok; it's just me, Bulma. I'm Trunks's mom, remember? I'm sorry; I didn't mean to startle you. It's going to take a little longer than planned; they have to pack everything up. Umm…you and Trunks are going to move in with me, Vegeta and Bulla. Umm…me, Trunks's dad and sister. Are you understanding anything I'm telling you?" Bulma asked confused and concerned when she seen Skyley just staring at her.
"Sad?" Skyley asked softly.
"What?" Bulma asked confused.
"You're sad. Why?" Skyley asked again.
"Oh, I'm sorry…I'm kind of surprised that you can tell that; I tried to hide that fact. Vegeta and I got into somewhat of an argument with Trunks. Trunks doesn't want to move back home; he wants to live on his own with you and be independent…" Bulma explained.
"But because of me…it's safer?" Skyley asked softly.
"Yes…wait how did you know that?" Bulma asked shocked.
"Your face. You're a mother…you want what's best for your children. It would've been better if I stayed in my tube…" Skyley started.
"No! I mean…no it wouldn't have; those tubes you were staying in aren't safe. Skyley, my son loves and cares for you so very much; you are very important to him. In fact you're his mate…I know that probably doesn't make since…" Bulma started.
"Is that why I feel so safe with him? Or why it feels like I can't breathe sometimes?" Skyley asked softly, confused.
"Yes. Yes, exactly. And because of all that, you're like my daughter as well; you're important to me, Vegeta and Bulla as well. We just want you to be safe. Aww…now I've gone and upset you." Bulma said worried when she seen Skyley start to cry.
"No… I'm sorry; it's just…nobody's ever cared about me like this before…" Skyley said softly.
Just then Trunks and Vegeta came in.
"What's going on?" Trunks asked confused when he seen Skyley crying.
"We've got everything packed; the Namekian is transporting everything to their new home…" Vegeta explained annoyed.
"Skyley?" Trunks and Bulma asked concerned.
"What about your parents?" Bulma asked confusing Trunks.
"No…my mom was killed shortly after I was born and my dad…well he was never home after I turned two…he often left me with the house keeper who didn't care for kids…but made me food." Skyley said softly as Trunks buckled her as Vegeta started the care up and headed back home.
"What did I miss?" Trunks asked confused.
"We were just talking. You know…girl stuff. We were also kind of getting to know each other a little better." Bulma said with a smile.
"Ok… Skyley, are you alright?" Trunks asked looking at her.
"Yes, I'm ok. Your mother and I was just talking…kind of… She was explaining some stuff…" Skyley said softly.
'I don't know why…but for some reason that makes me nervous… But…at least she's kind of talking to someone other than me.' Trunks thought to himself as they headed back home.
Once they got home everyone was already there waiting…
