Year 784 – A voice of the past
POV Lilly
Restless, I was lying in my bed, unable to sleep. I always got so happy when I saw or heard Trunks. He was sweet and caring and we could train well together. Why do I feel so angry, surely I should be happy when he is happy? Maybe I should clear my head, in my pajamas a simple pair of shorts and tight spaghetti strap shirt I walked to the training room and turned on the light. I started working out when I heard someone come in. "Couldn't sleep either?" It was Trunks.
My heart skipped another beat. What nonsense. He walked up to me, wearing only sweat pants. No I nodded. I turned away "you can aim your shots at me if it relieves your mind". I turned around and aimed my hand at him. I shot a couple of ki blasts and charged him. He blocked them all. He pushed me away and also shot. "Hey that was not the deal" I yelled. He smirked at me. Than we both charged each other. Kicking, blasting, blocking and hitting until we heard a voice in the door opening.
"Kids can you both go to bed please" it was Bulma, all sleepy and annoyed. "Oh yes mom". Our match ended abrupt. It felt good that I let my anger out on him, I already felt better. I came to my bedroom and went in. I closed the door behind me and when I was about to hit the bed there was a knock on my door. When I opened it I saw Trunks. "Uh Lilly, I wanted to tell you that I am really sorry about this afternoon. I really didn't want to" I couldn't listen to him anymore and put a finger on his lips. "I know" I looked at him, winked and closed the door."
One week later – Bulla`s birthday party
POV T
"Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday Dear Bulla
Happy Birthday to You."
We were all sitting on the breakfast table singing for my little sister. Lilly was there to, she was trying to make pancakes, thank god my mom was there to help. She can be so sweet but in many things she is still so clueless. The whole week was awkward. Every afternoon we trained. She talked normal with Goten, but somehow she is shy around me. Well I am not the best talker to her to. Every time I saw her, I had butterfly's in my stomach and I just shut down, I hate this feeling. Bet my dad never shut down with mom or another girl like I am now.
"Good morning birthday girl" Whis was suddenly there. "Hello Whis" and he dropped a little package in front of Bulla. A very greedy and over exited four year old was unpacking her present. It was a little crown. "Look daddy I am a princess now". And Bulla started to run around, so happy.
"Let's go Vegeta, the earlier we begin the earlier we are back for the party. Miss Lilly, Beerus wanted you there to" Whis turned to Lilly. She smiled. "Whis make sure those two are back in time for the pary right!" my mom used her tough love voice. "Three o clock, I know. My belly is already rumbling for the goodies". And with that just me and my mom are at the breakfast table alone. Bulla was showing Vixy her crown. "You better not run on me Trunks, I need help with the party" a firm look from mother, luckily Goten got here in time. We suppose to train, but ended prepping a party instead.
POV Lilly
My whip swirled around me. Slowly I began to gain more and more control over it. In mid-air it got sent the other way. It didn't bang into me as often anymore. And I was getting more power through it at the times I wanted it to. "This is getting better and better Lil" Beerus helped me along nicely. But he, too, was preoccupied with the two strong warriors. At one point I was sitting next to B. Hypnotized, I watched the two Saiyans attack each other, displaying powers far beyond my level.
The god next to me began to yawn, I looked at my god friend "I believe it is tea time". I rolled backwards and stood on my hands. slowly I brought my feet to the ground. "I'll just put some water on, see you in a bit". I walked away, I stood in a kitchen like room. All the cabinets were golden with emeralds. Softly I sang a song, one that was often in my head. I was in my happy place. I prepared a plate of goodies which was already waiting for me in a cupboard. Heading towards the garden and past a field of flowers. It was so beautiful here. "Do you recognize the flowers?" asked B. Surprised, I looked over "no, I don't know which ones these are". He just chuckled, these are lily`s from the planet Uva. "What a coincidence, that my name is Lilly".
With our bellies full we were napping under a tree. "Hey sleepyheads" we looked up and saw Goku. "Whis and Vegeta are already waiting, time for a party". Beerus was a little grumpy that he had been woken up, but to a scratch behind his ear his mood quickly improved. "Pssst wow Lilly, you really are mega good with Beerus". "Don't you dare monkey!" Goku pointed at Beerus his ear and Beerus slapped his hand away. "What time is it anyway?" Five to three Miss Lilly. "Replied Whis. "Shit, I still had to change my clothes. Four men looked at me in surprise.
"Don't worry miss" Whis moved his staff once in a circle and I had a different outfit. Even my hair was done. "Wasn't this from that Princess from planet Odoru, the one I destroyed 3000 years ago?" Beerus asked, Whis nodded yes. I looked down at the reflection in the water. I was wearing a gypsy style skirt of the color bright blue turquoise with gold borders and accents. It sat low on my hips. In the same color I had a top that was tied from my neck over my breasts around my ribs. It had a gold chain attached to it. I had a shawl of soft blue and my hair was tied up with a blue ribbon. Two strands of hair hung down my face. I turned a pirouette. "How do I look guys?" Vegeta coughed, "you're sixteen, and I'm not in a position to give out an opinion."
We arrived on time and ready to party. Bulma went all out with this party. There were lights, food, music and al little dance space. "Lilly!" I recognized Krillin's voice. I turned around and he looked surprised. "Your eyes are healed?" "Yes having friends that can do miracles are awesome" as I pointed to Whis. He just shook his head in disbelieve.
POV Trunks
Goten looked through the kitchen window in surprise. "What are you staring at?" I snarled as I single-handedly filled a tray of food. All he did was point outside. Still curious, I came up beside him and saw what he was seeing. She was beautiful. Goten looked at me "Dude, if you don't make a move today I'm going to have to, someone like her doesn't keep waiting forever". I nodded yes, in the background I heard my mother calling asking where the food was staying.
We walked out with the trays of food. The god and his angel stood immediately by. Then I heard a girl's voice, and a sweet scent. When I turned around I saw Lou-Lou "What are you doing here?" I asked genuinely surprised. "Your mother had invited me, or nah yes your mother was in my father's boutique and she told me about the party." Then I felt someone standing next to me, a scent of jasmine entered my nose. I looked to the side and saw Lilly. "Frou-Frou, nice of you to come" Lilly put her hand on my upper arm and looked at me "I'm going to dance". And with that she was gone. Staring across the dance floor I watched her dance. Moving her hips rhythmically to the music having a laugh with Marron, Videl and Launch. Goten threw his arm around me "Come bro".
"Dumbass why did you invite her you had made a choice didn't you?" Together we walked to the bar and grabbed a beer. "She invited herself, what am I supposed to do about that?" Yamcha suddenly stood beside the two of us "girl problems?" Surprised, we looked at Yamcha. "Uh yeah, no how do you figure that?" Then Yamcha started explaining a whole plan about distraction, sliming, luring away and at the end being able to have two women by your side. "Just tell the perfume factory she's not welcome and do what you have to do" On the other side stood father with a stern look at Yamcha. That one quickly drifted off. "Son you better not ask women's advice from that nitwit." I knew what to do time to find Lou-Lou first.
POV Vegeta
"Vegeta, I have a question" Piccolo stood next to me. "What?" I was a little irritated by the advice Yamcha had given my son. Luckily, the boy was smarter than that. "That student of yours, does she happen to have Saiyan blood or something?" Surprised, I looked at the Namekian and raised an eyebrow "Talk." He started walking towards the dance floor and said softly "Sometimes when she moves you can see a scar on the back, and don't tell me it's not very familiar." Surprised, I looked at it "I will ask her later in the week" I didn't have to dwell on this too much now. It was my little princess's birthday party.
In the kitchen I was rummaging around, I grabbed from the fridge a protein drink. Bulma walked in and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "How was your training with Beerus today?" she was genuinely interested. I looked at my wife "that's for another time. It now our little girl's party". She wanted to walk away but I grabbed her wrist and pressed a kiss to her mouth. "I have to get the cake out of the oven" she said gloating at me. "I'll wait." I winked.
POV Lilly
I was dancing wonderfully, feeling beautiful and having nice people around me. I had seen Trunks walk away with Frou-Frou but then I got a wink and a thumbs up from Goten. No idea what that meant. Then Bulla pulled on my skirt "Lilly we want to learn to dance too" surprised I looked at Bulla and her friend Pan. Ten and Launch's twins also came to stand next to them; they were the same age as the other girls. Oto the boy looked exactly like his father, with three eyes and Onna had blond and blue hair. It was a special appearance. "Of course kids" and placed a hand on Bulla`s head.
The perfect song was on my headphones. It was quickly connected to the music boxes and a little tropical rhythmic music came through the speakers. I showed the kids the beginning steps and the girls did their best to move back and forth with their hips in rhythm as well. It was mega cute to watch. My dance teacher was strict and scary. But dancing should be relaxed and free. I enjoyed the dancing and the kids so much that I spontaneously started singing with the music. We forgot about our surroundings with our little group. Dancing around each other, I had put Oto on my hip and he loved being danced around.
POV Vegeta
That voice! I know that voice! "Do you hear that too?" I turned to Bulma. "Yes there is someone singing outside, why?" she looked at me not understanding. My feet took me to the kitchen window. "Vino?" but when I looked outside I saw Lilly. "That name again? Sweetie who is that?" I said her name out loud again, sigh. What should I say? Honey I loved another woman before you and she died on my watch? No, you don't say that. "Vi-Vino was I my team, in the Frieza force. She's dead now." I walked away; I didn't want to discuss this. I've already told too much.
POV Trunks
Standing on the edge of the party staring at the dance floor. I had a tough conversation with Lou-Lou. She didn't really except that I didn't like her. But my dad was right; it was the right thing to do. Without any warning my dad stood next to me. "Father you scared me". "Trunks, I wanted to ask you something". He stared over the party in front of us. "Did Lilly tell you anything about her origin?" I shook no. "Only that she was a failed experiment". He just made a growling noise and walked away.
Then I felt two hands on my back "Buddy now is your chance, go". Sigh Goten was right but I can't dance. I'm going to make such a fool of myself now. Thank goodness Goten was pulled onto the dance floor by both Lilly and Marron. Like two complete stiffnecks we stood on the dance floor and looked at each other with a look of 'oh no'. "Brother it's very easy" my sister was having the most fun. Lilly danced around us. She grabbed my hand and made an attempt to teach us something. Her eyes were shining with joy and she had the most amazing smile. The moms on the sidelines were having the greatest time laughing.
After dinner, the evening fell. The visit slowly went away. My father had Bulla sleeping on his shoulder. My mother began to clean up along with my grandparents. I said goodbye to my friend and his family. As I walked back to the scene of the party, I saw Lilly throwing trash into a plastic bag. She turned around and looked at me. "Are you coming to help me?" she asked. Without saying a word, I grabbed a bag and helped out. We started saying something to each other at the same time which made for an awkward moment. We both started laughing out loud. "You first" I said, she looked a little shy. "It wasn't important" she looked at the ground. "You can dance beautifully, you were brave that you tried to teach me and Goten." She looked at me smiling.
"Lilly can I talk to you" of course our moment had to be interrupted. This time it was my father. I took the plastic bag from Lilly "I got it here". She thanked me and walked over to father, together they walked away. I wouldn`t have dared anything anyway, I`m such an idiot.
POV Lilly
Vegeta had a serious expression on his face. We walked through the garden to the place with the small pond. "Were you born with a tail?" surprised, I looked at him. I knew he was talking about my scar, with my hand I felt it. I stared across the water "I always wondered what the scar was from. My father would never give me an straight answer". My mind wandered back to earlier times, when I was still trying to get answers from my father himself. Suddenly something came to mind "There is a light brown tail on formaldehyde in his lab". Startled, I looked at Vegeta. "Was that mine?" my mind was working overtime. "What's your father's name?" my master looked at me worriedly. "Doctor Willbert R Hara" I replied. He had never heard of that.
He flew away, leaving me alone in the garden. I was still standing by the pond. My mind jumped back and forth to everything he asked and what had happened in all the years. Were there any more clues in the lab. I felt slightly panicked, tears filled my eyes. Does he know more? Master had such a shocked look on his face. I dropped to the ground and pulled my knees up. "Lilly?" I knew that voice, I didn`t want to look at him. Trunks sat down next to me and put an arm around me. I leaned against him, feeling safe with him. He didn't say anything; he was just there for me.
