Disclaimer: I don't own Trunks or the Androids or Bulma. Everything else in
this chapter is mine (I think).
REBECCA! (You know who you are!) IF YOU ARE READING THIS THAN STOP IT RIGHT NOW OR IF I FIND OUT YOU WILL NEED AN AMBULANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about that, people, It's just that sometimes you don't want your friends reading your stories. Hey, thanks for all the reviews, and here's another chapter as promised.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
Trunks woke up the next morning and yawned, still sleepy although unusually awake. He turned around and opened his eyes a slit.
;;Ahhh, sunlight, nooooo! Hmmm, That was a wee bit dramatic for a waking up thought, You know you need to get outside of your head a bit more if you're trying to tell jokes to yourself. Hey, where'd Sira go? Probably to breakfast. . .;;
Trunks opened up his eyes a bit wider.
;;Or maybe to lunch! How'd I sleep that long?! Oh my Kami, did I really think those things last night? Why oh why am I always so different at night?;;
The sun was above the house, and it was about midday by Trunks' reckoning. He slipped out of bed and pulled on a T-shirt from his pile of clothes, he had pulled them out yesterday looking for something and hadn't put them back yet. He walked downstairs, and the day went almost the same as every other day he'd been here. When the time eventually came to go to bed, he lay down and was almost instantly asleep. That was the night the dreams started.
------------------------------------------(Dream)--------------------------- -----------------------
Trunks was standing alone in the middle of an open field, chatting with Gohan, and basically just relaxing.
;;It's sure good to be able to relax, I can't remember when I last got the time to really lie back and think.;;
"Hey, Gohan, How long has it been since we've been able to do this?"
"Oh, ages. Hey, I can feel somebody arriving. Who is it?" Trunks recognized the power.
"Oh, that's just my dad."
"Cool."
Trunks sat up as Vegeta landed on the grass.
"Hey, dad. How come you're here?"
"Them." Vegeta pointed up into the sky, and Trunks saw two figures descending out of the sky, which he instantly recognized.
"Gohan, the androids! Wake up!"
"Shush, Trunks. There's no way they could be here."
"They are, look!"
"Shut up, I'm tired. Will you please-" But he got no further as 18 sent down a blast and it hit him with the full force.
Author: I don't want to describe the dream further, It's real scary, like, real scary. First Gohan was killed, then Vegeta. Trunks rushed at them but was kicked back and lay against a tree. Sira came running, and Trunks called out, but 17 stepped up and pulled his sword out from behind him as Trunks tried to stand up. 17 tossed the sword to 18, who plunged it into Sira.
-------------------------------------------------(End Dream)---------------- ---------------------
Trunks woke up sweating, and sat upright, gasping. He looked around, noticed the fact that he was still in his bedroom, and dropped back onto the pillows with a sigh, still gasping slightly.
;;Why have the dreams come back? They went away after I destroyed 17 and 18, why won't they stay away? And why was Sira suddenly in the dream?;;
Trunks turned over, and tried to get back to sleep, but every time he was finally drifting off, he'd see the picture in his head again and he would wake up. This continued until dawn, when he finally decided to get up. This happened for the next few days, until he was so tiered that he nearly fell asleep during the lessons. The night after this, he lay in bed, not wanting to even try to get to sleep.
;;I wonder why they just won't leave me alone?! Is it a warning? No, they're dead, I'm sure of that. Then why can't I sleep? If I don't sleep at all, maybe I'll just get so tiered that I'll fall to sleep and have no dreams. Right, that's it. No more sleeping for me.;;
---------------------------------------(Dream)------------------------------ -----------------------
He was back in the meadow again.
;;Damn! I knew I shouldn't have stayed in bed! Hey, I'm remembering it!;;
"Gohan, wake up! The androids are going to arrive! Hurry up, get up!"
"Trunks, relax. that's just Vegeta, and I'm pretty sure that he's no threat to us right now."
"No, I mean it! After Vegeta arrived, so will the androids!"
"Oh, stop worrying. Look, If it'll make you feel better, I'm getting up. Happy now?" Vegeta landed on the grass in front of them.
"Hey, Vegeta, why are you here? Let me guess, the androids?"
"No, why would I be here because of them?"
"See Trunks, nothing to wo-" A energy blast hit him, and the dream continued as normal. Although Trunks tried to stop himself, he still rushed at them, and was still pushed back. This time it was even worse as he knew exactly what was going to happen. 18 was going kill Sira again, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"No! Don't!"
18 turned towards him and smiled, then plunged the sword through Sira again.
----------------------------------------------(End Dream)------------------- ---------------------
"No!" Trunks woke up yelling, again still sweating and full of fear and anger from the dream. He sat up in bed, hung his legs over the side of the bed, and let his head drop into his hands.
;;Why won't this dream go away! I. just. want. to. sleep. Is that to much! I can't keep seeing everyone die again and again!;;
The door opened a crack.
"Hey, Trunks, are you okay? I heard someone yelling? Hey, are you alright?" Sira walked through the door, shut it behind her, and walked over to the bed. Trunks lifted his head out of his hands and looked at her.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It was just a bad dream."
"Are you sure? You really don't look fine, you're sweating like mad and you're so pale."
"It was just a dream." Sira came over and sat on the bed next to him, putting a arm round his waist.
"Hey, I know something's up. Trunks, who are you, really?"
"I told you, I _am_ Trunks."
"Yeah, but what's happened to you? Even Maria wasn't this bad after dad. What really happened. Tell me the truth, I mean it."
"I'm the son of one of the fighters who faced the androids first. My father was killed, and my mother bought me up with Gohan, my moms best friends son. He was my best friend, and taught me how to fight. Then, one day, the androids killed him. We'd been beaten pretty bad once or twice, but I never thought they would kill him. Then, after a while, I was sent back in time by my mom to make sure that all this never happened. I told all the worlds best fighters in advance, and they all trained hard and eventually beat one of the androids. The other was eaten by Cell, another android that killed me. I was bought back to life after Gohan as a little kid destroyed it. Once I came back, I was strong enough to defeat the androids, and I did. Then my mom was killed, and now I've started having these dreams that I had before about watching everyone be killed. That's why I can't sleep."
Sira was silent for a while, digesting all this new information.
"Wow, so you were the one that beat the androids? Nobody knows who did it. It must have been awful for you, having to go through all that."
"You have no idea." Trunks swung back into his bed, and Sira lay down beside him. "Hey, you're not sleeping in my bed again, no way. You're mom will kill me if she sees."
"It doesn't matter, I know when I was little, every time I had a nightmare I used to like to have somebody in the bed with me afterwards, it help to stop me remembering."
"Yes, but that's when you're little. Now ,umm, well, you're bigger, and older, and people might get the wrong impression."
"Nah, I'll be gone before dawn."
"Oh, all right. Just make sure you are."
;;Oh, Damn. Now I've got to try and forget about having a semi-naked girl sleeping next to me. (A/N Sira sleeps in a T-shirt and boxers) That's just what I need. Well, If it stops the dreams, I'll try it.;;
Trunks lay there for a while, until he drifted off to sleep again. And woke up a few hours later, still at night, with his arms around Sira and her arms around him.
;;Ahhh! I should never have let her sleep in my bed in the first place! Now, now, now I've got this girl in my bed and I'm definitely not having polite thoughts! ;;
Trunks was panicking slightly, not knowing what was going to happen and praying that Sira didn't choose this moment to wake up. He carefully disengaged his arms and tried to pry her arms of him, and managed it, all the time worrying that she would wake up and see what was by now a very obvious sign of his arousal. Having finally managed to get away, Trunks sat on the other side of the bed, up against the wall, and sat looking out at the stars. There was a quarter moon in the sky, and the night was cold.
;;Hey, that's why we were all like that earlier, we were probably just cold. I mean, I don't like her, do I? Of course not. No way. I can't! I've just met her, and she's not my type anyway. It'll go away. Wait. There's not anything to go away. Nothing. ;;
Trunks sighed.
;;Right, that's why I'm sitting by the window right now, trying not to touch her because embarrassing things happen. Dammit! I need sleep!;;
Trunks lay down and tried to get back to sleep.
;;I am never going to get to sleep like this.;;

Well, I've guessed that you noticed that the rating is R, do tell me if this is alright for the chapter or not, I have never written an R rated fic before, I don't generally read them and my friend (The one I was yelling at) Isn't supposed to know about this fic, so I can't ask her. Well, as always, review!
