TITLE: Chapter Two - Fateful Encounter
AUTHOR: Rachel Wong
AUTHOR'S EMAIL: Hidden_Angel_83@hotmail.com
RATING: PG-13
NOTE: This is set in an alternate universe. Please do not read it if you do not like A/U's. This is about T/P with a bit of G/M. I know this is a short chapter, but I promise the next few chapters are longer. I should know, I've written them already. Hehe... ^_^
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Dragonball Z and am in no way connected to them. I only wish I was, than I'd have at least SOME $$$. Seeing as how I am broke, sueing me would do you no good. =Þ
Last time on Decisions:
Pan wondered how to tell her new friend that she didn't know the name of the man she was searching for. Or, worse yet, she had never met the man she was searching for, a man who haunted her every sleeping hour.
*****
Trunks stared up at the enormous wall protecting the inhabitants of the city inside it. Numerous guards with swords and bows and arrors were patrolling along the wall and by the four doors, the only way in or out of the city. There was a door at each side of the huge, square like wall, one facing north, one south, one east and one west. Later on, they were to learn that these precautions were neccessary as the inhabitants had been under attack by a monster they all called Tiger King.
Slowly, Trunks entered Unchallenged City with Goten close behind as the guards stared suspiciously at them. Ignoring the annoying stares, the best friends continued into the city, enjoying the sights and sounds that they saw. People were bickering and arguing over food prices while little children ran excitedly around. Parents chased after their children in angry voices threatening to do a million things as soon as they caught them.
Goten stopped and smiled watching the scenes in front of him.
"What's so funny?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing. I just think these kids are really cute." Trunks watched his best friend pause, knowing he was going to continue. "You know, my dream is to one day have a couple of my own kids."
Trunks was barely able to hold in a snicker. "What? You're kidding me right?"
"No. I'm serious. One of my greatest dreams is to one day, find a really nice girl, get married, settle down and have a couple of kids."
The Saiyan Prince looked away, wondering why his dreams couldn't be that simple, that nice. Why was this burden placed on his shoulders? Why was he being held responsible for millions of years of history that had been created by his people? Not wanting his friend to see how upset he was, he continued walking.
*****
At the same moment, at the other end of the city, Pan and Marron walked through the gates.
"Okay. So, let me get this straight. You had the same dream about this man for two weeks and you left home in search of him?"
"Yeah, pretty much." Pan had told and re-told the story of her dreams to Marron, 'forgetting' to tell her that she had been a demi-goddess.
"And you don't know this guys name."
"Right on."
Marron let out a sigh. "This is going to be hard."
"I know, but I don't plan on giving up any time soon." She smiled a quick smile at Marron who smiled back.
"I'll give you one thing, you are determined. I'll bet this guy can't elude you for long."
They both giggled at the thought. Their stomach's grumbled in protest and sheepishly, the two girls set out in search of somewhere to eat.
*****
"Trunks, can we please eat? We haven't eaten since dinner last night and I'm starving. PLEASE?!" Goten was almost ready to get down on his knees and beg.
"Okay okay! We'll eat, alright? The next restaurant we pass we'll go in and eat." He smiled as he heard his friend give a loud sigh of relief.
"Thank Kami. I thought you were going to try and starve me or something."
"Whatever."
They walked a bit more before seeing a restaurant they thought they would like. Goten nearly ripped the door down as he rushed in, desperately needing food. Stepping inside, he froze on the spot. Trunks came wandering lazily in after him.
"Why'd you stop? Get a move on." No response. "Goten?" He stepped around his friend and stared into his face. "Hello? Earth to Goten." Still no response. He followed Goten's gaze which fell squarely on two girls at a nearby table. One of the girls had blond hair while the other one had black hair. The girl with black hair looked very familiar. "Hey Goten, isn't that the girl we saw this morning?" Again, no response. Trunks grew desperate. Raising his hand, he smacked it down on Goten's head.
"Owww! What was that for?"
Trunks chuckled. "Never mind. Let's eat. I'm hungry." Before Goten could gawk some more, Trunks pulled him to a seat and made him sit down.
*****
Marron blushed a deep shade of red as the man finally looked away. Pan, who had been eating and hadn't noticied anything, looked up at her friend.
"What's wrong? Why are you blushing so badly?"
"N...Nothing."
Pan turned around to look at whatever her friend was stuttering about. There had to be an explanation. No one just turned that red for no absolute reason. Taking a quick glance behind her, Pan thought her heart was going to stop. She had found her tear in the vast ocean.
