Chapter 3:



As Trunks walked into the house, he put his jacket on the couch and went into the kitchen. A minute later, he backed out, with a note in his hand.

"No, Bra, please tell me you didn't..." he said. He read the note written in Bra's shaky handwriting.

'Dear Trunks,

I just couldn't live with myself anymore, partly because I somehow feel responsible for all these events since I did find daddy and mom did die in my arms. I'm so, so sorry for all the pain this will cause to you, but its all for the best. But, please, you can't do the same thing I did, because our family needs someone down here to find the Dragonballs... I would have stayed and helped you look for them, but I doubt that in my current state, I would be any help to you. Suicide is the best thing that I could do...The only thing that I could do... Forgive me for everything.

Love, Bra.'

Trunks just sat there, shaking... He was the only Briefs left alive because fate was cruel to their family for some weird reason. After about 15 minutes, he called 911 and they took Bra's body away in a black plastic bag.

Over the next couple of months, Trunks barely got any sleep at all. The results of that were showing by the dark circles under his eyes. His face was always pale and his eyes, cold, dark... He never even smiled anymore, or showed any other emotion. Trunks just walked around the house and around Capsule Corp. like a lifeless zombie. One night, when he couldn't sleep again, Trunks saw the lightning, so beautiful and powerful, but in the distance. He sat on the roof and watched it, and it started coming on closer and closer, the thunder getting louder and louder, until a downpour started. Trunks didn't move from his position on the roof because he liked the rain... It cleared his head. The lightning was soon all around him and the streetlights went out. He was in the center of the storm, so he flew up, hoping to get hit by lightning and die. But the beautiful lightning avoided him, as if on purpose, and danced all around him. He even asked it to take him with it, somewhere far away, but when Trunks fell asleep an hour later, he was still alive, and the storm was still going on.

The next day, at work he just collapsed, and the doctor told the workers that he is delusional. Trunks kept talking about a storm, but the ground was dry and there were no reports of thunder or even clouds.

The doctor asked that Trunks be moved to a safe place, but he asked to be moved to the Sons house, because Trunks was sure that he wasn't crazy, and he had to prove it.

The Sons of course took him in. Goku, Chi-Chi, and Gohan all had jobs, and Goten was out looking for the Dragonballs. That only left one person to take care of Trunks; Pan...
