Tama woke up as the sunlight that fell through the window touched her face. Trunks still had his arms wrapped around her tightly, his warm body preventing her from getting cold. As she pulled free he flinched and muttered something in his sleep. She ran her hand through his hair and kissed his head. The Chibis were still sleeping on the futon next to her. Chibi-Trunks had his foot in Goten's face, it didn't look comfortable but cute. She decided to let them sleep and get ready by herself. Grabbing a towel she walked toward her bathroom, the young girl winced as her bare feet touched the cold marble-floor. She quickly ran over to the shower "Please work please work", she begged as she turned it on. After some creaking and squeaking hot water ran out of the golden shower head.
She silently thanked Dende-sama and dropped her towel. As the hot steam enveloped her slim body she recalled the last day. What was it what Trunks wated to ask her before going to bed? Was he hoping she would stay with him in the future? And if so could she make this sacrifice for him? Aside from her home and Sage Inc. being destroyed her whole family was dead in this timeline. She would have to give up her whole life and there was no guarantee that Trunks is never going to leave her, then she would be alone without her family and poor. A smile ran over her face when she thought of the face her over protectively brother would make if she told him she's leaving them to live with her boyfriend in an other timeline. Staying here was not really an option for her so she would have to convince him to come with her, and until today her good looks and charm had always worked to attract men. She would just have to be the nice and cute girl she was.
She quickly slipped into her shirt and jeans to head downstairs. The kitchen of course was empty and what was left had expired years ago. She let out a sigh, Tama had given the last money she had to one of the homeless people in the camp but from her past experience she knew it was not fun dealing with three hungry half Saiyans. Then something crossed her mind. When she turned sixteen her father gave her 20 million zeni as a gift that she hid in the panic room and never spent. She excitedly ran down the hall and stopped in front of a massive steel door, it was still closed a good sign. She punched in the password and the door swung open. Everything was still there, gold, her mother's jewelry and a certain small box. She removed the ribbon and opened it. Inside was a picture of her father holding her when she was a baby with the note "happy birthday, love -dad" written on it, a love-bracelet and the money she was looking for. She took it and walked out of the house in the driveway. Reaching into her purse she activated the Capsule for her car and drove downtown looking for some shops that were already back in business. Tama stopped in front of an all too familiar shop. "Why not I don't have any clothes anyways", she said to herself and entered the boutique. If she wanted to persuade Trunks she had to look her best. She tried on whatever pleased her and then walked over to the cash desk.
"How can I help you Miss?", the cashier ask politely.
"I'll take all", she replied
"B-But you can't buy all"
"I can she smiled and pulled out the due amount of money.
"The cashier gratefully accepted and packed her stuff into bags"
"Do you know if there's like a bakery or a grocery store?", she asked
"The one over there just opened last week", the cashier replied pointing to the other side of the street.
Mirai-Trunks woke up and looked around the room, his girl was gone, the kids were still snoring next to him. Suddenly he could her the clattering of high-heels coming up the stairs, seconds later Tama stood in the door.
"Watcha thinking?", she asked placing her hands on her hips, Trunks couldn't deny that that was the exact same pose his mother always used to do. She wore a short red dress and matching red lipstick, her wavy black hair was elegantly hanging over her shoulders, the black and red theme continued with the her black high-heels with red bottoms. Although he thought she never looked better he couldn't understand why she was so buffed up.
"I don't think that suitable for the wasteland though", he commented.
"Silly I bought something for that too", she said and lifted the arm she held the bag with.
"I also got you something. But now take a shower my stinkball", she said and leaned in for a kiss. He kissed her and got up.
"Is the shower even working?"
"If you weren't such a slugabed you could have joined me in the shower", she winked and walked downstairs to prepare their meal.
"What the?", Trunks uttered surprised by her sudden seductiveness.
Chibi-Trunks who had woken up some minutes ago an watched the scene just smirked, other than his future-counterpart he knew exactly what she was doing, and if she was successful that would mean Mirai-Trunks would come to his timeline.
In the shower the picture of a dolled up Tama kept crossing Trunks' mind. Like she before he used the time to think about his relationship with her and how dratted this whole situation was. Anyways he decided he didn't want to be without her, and he thought that after years of deprivation he deserved to be happy and that meant she had to be with him. He would convince her that he was enough, and that he was worth leaving her family behind. Although it may wasn't a fair thing to ask her, he still wanted to show her. The next problem was that they were from completely different worlds, not just the timelines. Allthough the Briefs were the richest in the world Trunks never had much of it, since the Androids destroyed everything no one bought or sold something. And he knew that in the end these "Rich daddy's little girls", even if they were as normal and nice as Tama they had certain expectations, not because they were snobby they were just used to it.
He was pulled out of his deep thoughts when someone was slamming his fists against the bathroom-door
"Hurry I gotta pee", Goten yelled.
Trunks turned off the shower and put on that dark green gilet Tama had bought him. Goten slammed the door open and stormed inside.
"Geez kid there's six bathrooms in this house", he said and went downstairs. In the kitchen Chibi-Trunks had already finished his breakfast and was now gulping down the various sweets she had bought for him and Goten.
"Take a seat", Tama offered when Mirai-Trunks entered the room.
She walked over to him and sat down on his lap "I got you a Bento box, your favorite isn't it?", she asked and handed it to him.
"Thanks honey that's so nice of you. It's actually kind of fun living here with you. And of course my little bud", he replied and smiled at Chibi-Trunks.
"Kinda", she answered "By the way you look super fly in the clothes I bought you", she winked and planted a kiss on his cheek.
….
In the original timeline Gohan had put up a decent fight against the Android. Until now she didn't really have a chance to kill him and it seemed like they were even. He put her in a headlock and kept punching her with his free hand, as he did so flashes appeared again that indicated he damaged her electrics. 21 pulled free , jumped up in the air and wrapped her legs around Gohan's neck trying to break it. Gohan just in time fired a ki-blast into her face sending her flying backwards. He charged and kept throwing punches at her, when she realized she couldn't hold against him 21 released a ki blast at 18. Gohan noticed and phased out of sight t reappear in front of 18 and blocked the attack. When he turned around 21 was face to face with him. Shes smirked and placed her hands on his chest. With a big energy ball she sent Gohan blasting off. He had damaged her sensors so she couldn't tell if he's still alive but she just assumed that no one could survive that.
"18 no need to fight you you're no match", she said and walked up to Yamcha.
#21 just stood there starring into his eyes. The ex bandit scared stiff and didn't say anything.
"Don't worry I would never kill somebody who looks like that", she smirked and blew him a kiss. Then she took off in the sky.
….
Bulma had spend her morning over the toilet throwing up. Did she and Vegeta really make something happen the other night? She shook her head, no it was too early for nausea anyways. That moment Yamcha stormed in. As she walked into the cottage's living room Chi-Chi, Yamcha,18 and Marron were sitting at the table.
"Sit down Bulma I have to tell you something".
"What is it Yamcha?", she asked bothered.
"It's the others, Goku and Vegeta...are dead!", he said balling his fists.
Both women started screaming hysterically.
"What about the kids?", Bulma asked tears running down her cheeks.
"They should be ok, they managed to escape with the older Trunks in the time machine", Yamcha answered.
"Thank god!", the woman shouted and stopped crying. "Don't worry Chi-Chi my genius sons have a plan I'm sure! We will be alright soon!".
"Do you think so?", the raven haired woman asked.
"Sure thing", Bulma said.
Suddenly a heavily injured Gohan stumbled into the small house.
Chichi screamed once more, together with Yamcha she carried him to the bedroom and started tending him. He had used all his energy to come to the cottage so he couldn't stay conscious and passed out.
…..
"Are you ready?", Mirai-Trunks shouted from the foyer of the mansion. Tama came downstairs, she wore a red tank-top, sweatpants and hiking boots.
"Ready", she said gesturing thumbs up. The young girl jumped into his arms and Trunks carried her over the door sill out to the driveway where Chibi-Trunks and Goten were waiting.
"Next destination Gizard wastelands", he said and took off in the air with her followed by the Chibis.
