*------------------Chapter 13---------------------------*

The next morning Julie got up and little did she know that this was going to be the worst day of her life. She got up and got ready to go over to the office to get started putting together the design for her shop. She got down there and stood with a bunch of new employees. They all were males and they all eyed her up. She told them what to do. Julie helped out herself. A little while later one of the newer employees walked up to her.
"Miss Julie?" He asked
"Yes," She said turning around. She was confronted with a very tall man with black hair and piercing eyes, not to meantion extremly handsome.
"Hi, I am Stefen Teen." He said
"Very pleased to meet you." She said politely shaking his hand. "Welcome aboard."
He nodded. He got to work but something about him bugged Julie. She later went to her office and started doing buisnessy things. She at one point was on her cell phone with Trunks while looking at him through her window. It was interesting. Later there was a soft knock at her door.
"Come in" She said
Stefen walked in.
"Am I desturbing you?" He asked with an evil grin.
Julie had her back turned to him facing the window. She shook her head. He walked a little bit closer to his new boss.
"Good, I just had a couple of things I wanted talk to you about." He said.
"Go ahead." She said
He started to talk to her about somethings that would be happening. Soon he had persuaded her to have him over for a buisness type dinner at her house.
"Well, I am sure my husband won't mind. As long as you don't mind a one month old child being present." She said kindly
"Oh no it makes no matter to me" He said still grinning.
"Well, I will see you at six. Here are the directions to my home" She said handing him a piece of paper.
"Thank you Ms. President." He said exiting the room.
Julie called up Trunks and told him that they would be having a dinner guest. He said that would be fine. Julie started home early. She started making dinner while Patrick cooed and squeaked away. She looked over at him and smiled. Bulma had come over with Bra and helped Julie make a larger dinner than usual. When they finished the women sat down and had a discussion about running a business. Bulma left not long before Trunks got home.
"Hey sweetie, go get showered and changed for dinner, Stefen will be here soon." Julie said
"Anything for you babe." He said. With that he walked off and got a shower and got changed. When he got out he took Patrick in the living room and sat down with him to watch tv. A couple minutes later there was a knock at the door. Julie went and answered it. Stefen was standing at the door. She let him in and called Trunks. He came wandering with Patrick.
"Awwe isn't he a cutie." Stefen said.
"Stefen, this is my husband Trunks. Trunks this is stefen." She said
Stefen's eyes grew really wide but then shrank quickly back to normal size.
"Nice to meet you Trunks." Stefen said
"Likewise" Trunks said cheerily.
They all sat down to a normal dinner. They all started talking about buisness. The phone rang and Trunks got up to get it. He returned to the table.
"Julie, sweetie, I have to go, I am needed over at mom's lab for something and quick, I'll be back in a little while." He said
"Okay" She said.
Trunks gathered his things and left quickly. Julie started doing the dishes after dinner. Stefen was entertaining Patrick.
"Such a sweet child. I thought for sure I would have hurt him." Stefen said
"Oh no, this child is indestructable" Julie said. "He has seen the many faces of his father, grandfather, and uncles." Juile said.
"Well, that is always good" Stefen said quickly. He gazed upon her shap features. Some that Trunks neglected to see. The way her mouth was usually set in a firm line. Stefen walked up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Boss, you need to lighten up." He said massaging her shoulders. She knew that she shouldn't let him do it but she caved. She relaxed while she was doing the dishes. This caused her ki leve to go up noticably. Trunks caught on to this but ignored it. Stefen increased the intensity of the massage. Julie inhaled deep and sharply. Stefen leaned down close to her ear. Her soft black hair touched the side of his face.
"He doesn't really deserve you, does he?" He asked her quietly
"I think he deserves me. I mean you make it sound like I am some kind of prize to be won." She said gently.
Stefen turned her around and looked her straight in the face. He put his hands on the upper part of her arms. He moved his thumbs gently back and forth. Trunks finished helping his mom. He started back towards the house.
"What do you feel here?" He asked sliding his hand over her heart.
"I feel your hand" She said being smart. She was terribly uncomfortable. He could sense it and didn't like it.
"Well then I am going to do something I should have done a very long time ago." He said. She gave him a curious look. "Maybe I will just wait for your husband to come back and watch. Here he comes" Stefen said.
Trunks drew ever closer and had a strange feeling that something bad was going to happen. He moved a little bit quicker. Inside Julie was attempting not to start crying. She all of a sudden felt Stefen's hand getting hot. 'Oh no. Is this what I think it is? I hope not.' She thought. Both of them heard Trunks come in the door.
"Oh Trunks? Could you come here for a second I want you to watch something." Stefen said. Trunks rounded the corner. Stefen placed Julie so her back was to Trunks.
"Now, watch carefully Trunks. You are going to love this little light show. And I am going to borrow your wife for it." Stefen said. Trunks was still puzzled.
Julie then knew what was coming.
"NOOOOOOO!" She screamed as Stefen shot a laser beam ki straight through her. She flew backwards, instantly dead, and slammed into Trunks.
Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo felt her strong ki raise quickly and reduce to nothing. They jumped to their feet and ran to see what was wrong. Stefen had hidden in the darkness so the other Z fighters wouldn't find him. Trunks had landed in a position where his hand was right over her wound and she was practically in her original death position. It looked like Trunks had killed her. He started to cry.
The other warriors came in and saw and flipped. Trunks explained to them that it was not him that had killed her but it was Android 17.
"Then where is he?" Vegeta asked with his arms crossed and a serious look of doubt on his face.
"I am right here." 17 said appearing in the room.
"YOU KILLED MY LOVE, MY LIFE, AND MY HOPE. YOU WILL PAY!" Trunks yelled
The warriors began to fight with 17. After many painstaking hours they demolished him. As for Julie, they were a little bit too late. She lay in the middle of the kitchen floor, blood had pooled around her soft black locks turning them hard, sticky, and red. Her body lay soaked in her own blood. Trunks broke down and cried by her side.
"FATHER MAKE HER COME BACK! DAD, PLEASE? MAKE HER COME BACK." He pleaded with Vegeta.
"Son, I can't think of anything to make her come back." He said sadly.
"I know a way." Gohan said quietly.
"How?" Goku asked his son.
"The dragonballs. We still have them." He said quietly.
"Oh, Gohan," Trunks said through tears. "..."
"Yes, Trunks, I will get them, I love her too. She is my sister." Gohan said running into the other house. He came back with the dragonballs. They carried Julie out into a small pasture and lay her down. Gohan summoned the eturnal dragon. Trunks wished Julie back, younger and more beautiful than before. Julie's figure appeared out of the ground. It was bright and she had her hands crossed over her chest. She was wrapped in a white dress that seemed to swirl around her. He eyes closed. Everyone stood with their mouths gapeing open. She was set gently down on the ground. She slowly opened her eyes, they seemed to twinkle and glint in the crystal with field around her. She put her arms down to the side and took her first step forward. The white field disappeared and she ran over to Trunks. She jumped into his arms. She was a little bit shorter than she was before, yet her natural beauty had been enhanced and restored.
"I am so glad to have you back." He said through tears.
Julie just buried her face in his now gold colored hair. He held on to her and wouldn't let go. He finally set her down. She looked up at him with the happiest eyes. He smiled at her and leaned down to kiss her.
"I should have wished you to be a little bit taller than this." He said holding back laughter.
"Oh, but I am stronger now, so I wouldn't push it." She said poking him in the ribs. "Now that I really think about it. That little incident with 17 kinda hurt."
They all kinda laughed.
"Wow, I feel the sudden urge, to train." Julie said
"No, I think you are going to go inside the house and rest." Trunks said
"But..." She started
"No buts" He said
Julie walked off towards the house. ChiChi walked up to Trunks and handed him a sleeping Patrick.
"I took him while you all were fighting the android." She said
"Thanks ChiChi." Trunks said. He walked off to the house as well. He walked into their bedroom and didn't see Julie, she was in the shower. He laid Patrick down and he soon fell back to sleep. Julie came back in her pajamas, brush in hand. She walked over and stood infront of a full length mirror. She looked at herself. She was a lot shorter than she was before. She was only about 5'3" before this accident. Now she was about 5'0". 'Oh well' she thought. She really didn't notice anything different. Trunks walked in and stood behind her. He was like a towering giant to her now. She looked up at him in the mirror with a look like ' what do you see in me?'. He placed his hands on her shoulders.
"I see the pretty woman that I married and don't regret a day of it." He said sweetly.
She turned around and looked up at him.
"Really?" She asked with big irrestistable toddler eyes.
"Really." He replied.
She hugged him. She looked up at him again.
"My son is going to tower over his mother." She said quickly.
"Well, I tower over my parents, and your brother towers over your mom." He said trying to comfort her.
"I guess you have a point there." She said.
"Well, I am going to go to bed now. I am the president of a brand new line of clothes that comes out tomorrow. We started our advertising today." She said
"Well good night then. I will see you tomorrow morning." Trunks said.
"Good night" She said. She walked over and jumped in bed and pulled the covers over her shoulders, and fell to sleep.
Trunks watched her sleep for a good five minutes. Then he climbed into bed and went to sleep.
Then next morning, Julie was out of bed by the time he got up. She was already dressed in her dress skirt, white blouse, and Blazer. She was fixing her glasses and putting on her shoes.
"See you later." She said
"Bye!" he said shaking his head. "World, I hope you are ready for one of the most inexperianced Presidents of a corporation in all time."
