STARTING OVER
CHAPTER 2
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonballz or any of the characters.
Author's note: Again, I know about the age difference but in this story Goten and Trunks are about 5 years older then Bra. Thanks ;]
Bra sat in her seat with her bag on her lap.
She was really doing it, she was setting herself free. For years part of her was empty, something was missing. She remembered some nights she would sit on her window sill and cry. For no real reason except for the fact she was trapped. Tied to an anchor. But here she was, minutes away from landing at New York and starting over.
After the plane landed Bra waited awhile before getting off. She wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.
"You'll do fine Deere." The old woman next to Bra said. She smiled and patted Bra's shoulder. Bra looked at her. She was a pretty old lady with a cane and thick glasses. Bra liked the old lady's smile, it was so warm and caring.
"Um, thank you. But how did you-" Bra started.
"Well, by the way you look I'd say your running from something. Am I right?" The old lady said, taking her hand off Bra's shoulder.
"Yea." Bra said feeling kind of weak for running away. *I wonder what dad would say?* Bra thought.
"Well like I said Deere, you'll do fine. Good luck." The old woman got up and left. Bra sighed, picked up her bag, and got off the plane.
As soon as Bra got her bags she was greeted by Laura.
"Bra! Your really here! I thought you'd chicken out." Laura said smiling. She was the same height as Bra and she ware a pink T-shirt with 'angel' on it and white pants. Laura had short blond hair and blue eyes. Bra hugged her.
"Yea, I'm really here. Can we go? I'm tired." Bra asked.
"Sure! Lets go!" Laura grabbed one of Bra's suitcases and lead Bra to the entrance of the airport.
"Ok, number one thing to know about New York, all you have to do when you want a ride is wave you hand in the air and yell, Taxi!!!!" Laura demonstrated for Bra as a taxi pulled up in front of them. Bra already knew that but she thought is was funny the way Laura showed her. After Laura and Bra got in Laura told the cab driver the address and he drove off.
"Listen Bra, you have to be careful out here. I've lived all my life in New York and its not all that easy. I'm not saying it's the worst place in the world, I'm just saying to whach your back. Ok?" Laura asked with a serious tone.
"I understand. Thanks Laura." Bra answered. Laura smiled.
"No problem. So do you think your family will find you here?" Laura asked.
"No, not likely. I gave the airport a fake name so even if they did ask there they wouldn't find me. My mom will probably call the police, but they'll never look for me here." Bra said. She thought her father would search for her ki, but she would just hide it for awhile.
"Well ok I guess your set." Laura said sighing, "Oh here it is!" She pointed to the building they where pulling up to. Bra stared out the window. The place was a mess, it looked like it had about 10 apartments in it, both a first and second floor. It didn't have any trees or anything in front of it. It was a brick building and a very old one at that.
"Um, Laura? Are you sure this is it?" Bra asked still staring at the building.
"Well its not palace, but you not a princess, so it will just have to do." Laura said then got out of the car. Bra giggled. *I am a princess Laura. I guess I'll have to tell her I'm part alien later* Bra thought getting out of the car. Laura lead Bra into the building and up the stairs. She stopped at room 23. Laura unlocked the door.
"Well, welcome to your new home Bra." Laura said and held the door open. Bra walked in. She looked the apartment over, to her left was a small kitchen. It had an old refrigerator, an old stove, and a few cabinets, and a small fold up table with two fold up chairs. The tile looked like it was supposed to be white but it was stained bad so it was hard to tell. Bra walked past the kitchen into the 'living room'. This room was a little bigger but not by much. It had one couch that was yellow with orange flowers on it, on each side of the couch was a night stand with a lamp on it. The room also contained a small coffee table, a 13 inch tv, and a few house plants. The carpet was green with a few stains on it as well. On each side of the tv was a door.
"The one on the right is yours. Check it out." Laura said nodding he head towards the bedroom door. Bra was kind of afraid to look but her arms hurt from the suitcases and she went ahead and opened the door. The room was pretty basic. It had a bed, dresser, window, and a night stand. It had the same ugly green carpet.
"Uh, Laura? Where's the bathroom in this place?" Bra asked afraid that she'd have to go down the hall to find one.
"Oh, its right here." Laura said walking into Bra's room and opened door on the left wall, "Its connected to my room so we have to share. Hope you don't mind."
"Oh no, its fine." Bra said as she put her suit cases down on the bed. Laura walked over to the door.
"I'm going to have a snack, why don't you unpack and rest. The phone is in the living room, its cordless so you can talk in here if you want. You just have to pay the bill if its long distance." Laura said.
"Ok no problem." Bra smiled and Laura smiled back. Laura then left the room. *I don't think I'll ever call them but I wonder what they're doing right now* Bra thought to herself.

"Trunks?!?! Trunks where are you?!?!" Bulma yelled for her son.
"In the living room with Goten!!" Trunks yelled back and in a few minutes his mother was in the room looking very worried.
"Where's our sister? The college called and she never showed up at school. Have you seen her?" Bulma asked hopefully.
"No I haven't seen her since last night when she left the bar early," Trunks said, "but don't worry mom." Bulma shook her head.
"Trunks, I looked over Bra's room, a lot of her things are missing including three suitcases from under her bed. I think she ran away." Bulma said looking at the floor in sadness.
"No, no, Bra wouldn't do that! Why would she do that?!?!" Trunks screamed in anger. Goten stared wide eyed forward.
"Bra ran away?" Goten said in a whisper.
Look for chapter 3! It will be out soon! ;]
