Susan was in her room getting ready. Her and Trunks were going on their first date, and she was going to look nice. She was for the first time in her life putting on makeup. Her dress was long, purple, and had a V-neck. She stood up and glanced at herself in the mirror. I will never get use to wearing a dress she told herself. She looked into a box Bulma had brought up to her. She looked in side and slightly chuckled.
It was full of different earrings and jewelry. She picked out a pair of matching blue earrings and a blue necklace. There was a knock at the door as Bulma let herself in. She squealed in delight.
"Oh, that dress looks so nice on you. Trunks will love it." Susan blushed a little bit.
"Thank you" Bulma waved her hand.
"Oh its nothing, well Trunks is downstairs waiting. So do you want to go down now or leave him in suspense."
"I'll go down now." She followed Bulma down the stairs. Susan reached the bottom of the stairs where Trunks was waiting. He was wearing a white tuxedo, with a light blue bow tie. Susan giggled a little at him adjusting his bow tie. He looked up at her and stared. Then he offered her his arm.
"Shall we go?" she took it.
"We shall" then they both turned when they heard a dreamy sigh.
"Ah, young love" Bulma sighed again. Trunks blushed and Susan giggled. Then they went out the door when Bulma stuck her head out
"Be back before midnight or I'll send Vegeta after you." They both shivered at the thought. They hadn't told Bulma, at Susan's request, about the Vegeta accident. Trunks helped into the car, and they were off.
As they reached the new club in town they were immediately welcomed with music.
I never cared too much for love
It was all a bunch of mush
That I just did not want
Paid was the issue of the day
If my girlfriends got some game
Couldn't be more fly
Getting paid was everything
But I'm not every girl
And I don't need that world to validate me
Cause shorty got a job
Shorty got a car
And short can pay your rent
But when I'm dancing baby it's not in my heart
They pushed their way through the club until they reached near the center. Then they started dancing. Susan was just basically moving her hips back and forth while swinging her arms. Trunks was dancing with the same style with a little more grace.
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream up
A man that understands real love
And I was some girl about the floss
It was all about the cost
How much he spent on me?
Seek for a man who gots the means
To be giving you diamond rings
It's what every fly girl
Could want or even dream
Susan wrapped her arms around his neck, his hand around her waist, still moving to the fast beat. They moved closer together till they were touching. Other couples were followed suite.
But I'm not every girl
And I don't need no g to take care of me
Cause shorty got a job
Shorty got a car
And short can pay your rent
But when I'm dancing baby it's not in my heart, no, no
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream up
A man that understands real love
And I'm not every girl
And I don't need no g to take care of me, no
Cause shorty got a job
Shorty got a car
And short can pay your rent
But when I'm dancing baby it's not in my heart,
They pulled away and Trunks began to spin Susan around. She grabbed his shoulder, trying to make all the little circles in her eyes go away. Trunks couldn't help but laugh at the look in her eyes.
"You know its not very funny, once I get my balance back I'll get back at all three of you." He laughed even more
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream up
A man that understands real love
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream up
A man that understands real love
I, I just want just want real love
Said I gotta have real love
Everything, can you be everything I can come up with, oh
Susan and Trunks walked over to the bar and sat down. Susan turned to Trunks and sighed. Trunks looked at her, weirdly.
"What?"
"It's nothing. Listen I'll be right back okay." Then she walked over towards the restrooms.
Susan looked at herself in the mirror, I hate Makeup.
!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Trunks ordered a drink from the bartender. He sat in silence until a girl suddenly sat beside him.
"Hi, Hot Stuff" she said seductively as she inched closer.
"Miss I don't know who you are but I'm here with…" he was cut off as she grabbed his face and kissed him. He tried to push her away but she held on tightly.
This all happened as a certain teenager came to find her date. Susan saw the sight and started to cry. Trunks had her back to her so she didn't see him struggling. She turned and ran out the door. Out into the night.
Trunks finally got the women off him. He was appalled.
"What the hell did you do that for." She smirked.
"Because I wanted too." Then she walked away. Trunks muttered curses under his breath ignoring all the eyes that were staring at him.
Susan walked on. Tears long since ran out. She couldn't believe that had happened. Didn't I mean anything to him. Was I just another… then it hit her another dumb blonde. Why did I get myself to fall in love again? It just always pays me back twice, with pain and suffering. I give up. She turned to the sky.
"Do you hear that, I GIVE UP!" she yelled as more tears fell down her face.
"So you finally give up, huh. Well then the time is right." She froze and than she turned around. There standing there was the cloaked figure that had been haunting her dreams.
"Y-You, its you. W-Who are y-you?' she stammered. He chuckled, as she tried to run away. He saw her attempt.
"Now we can't have that, can we." He lifted his hand up and formed a black ball in it. Susan immediately brought her hands up to block as he shot it. It was very small so she thought she could fend it off, but the ball contained a surprise. As soon as it hit her it turned into a wall. The wall bent inwards and she was trapped in a ball. She let out a horrifying scream.
The figure only laughed. He snapped their fingers and they disappeared.
~!~!~!~!~!~~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
Trunks looked around the club. Susan was no where to be seen. He walked out side and yelled her name. No response. Trunks was now scared. He didn't know what had happened to Susan, and a couple of things came to mind…But he shook them out.
He tried searching for her ki, no luck. He couldn't find it anywhere. He sent out thoughts,
*Susan, Susan, Where are you!* still no response. He flew around on the search. He flew for a couple of minutes till he heard laughter. He saw the figure standing beside the ball containing Susan. Before he could react they were gone. He froze. After a couple of minutes he finally flew back home. Throwing the door open he scared his mother to death.
"Mom! She got captured."
"Huh, Who? What? Where's the fire?" Just then his father came through the door.
"What the hell is going on…"
"This guy captured Susan!" then he told them the whole story. Bulma stood with her mouth wide open. Vegeta had a look that said 'Am I supposed to care' Bulma ran over and called Goku. She explained him the whole story.
"Well be right over." Two seconds later Goku, Gohan, Goten, and Pan (who was holding on to Gohan's leg for dear life) showed up. They all stared down at her. She laughed nervously. Everyone then switched their gaze back to Trunks.
"This is bad" Goku simply stated, "Well we should start a search party. Lets go." They all, except Bulma, Pan and Vegeta, walked outside. Bulma grabbed his shoulders and pushed him outside.
"You go help them!"
"Fine" and he flew after them. Soon Bra came down the stairs in her pajamas. The women waited patiently for the men to return with news.
!~!~!~!~~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
The group had long since split up. Goku and Gohan, Trunks and Goten, and Vegeta were the groups. Piccolo had shown up and was talked into helping. Goku was flying over the city when he spotted something. All the people walking down the street, they were in trances. He heard one person.
"I can't do it…I'll never do it…I'm not worthy…" All people were basically muttering the same thing. Him and Gohan stopped and stared. Soon the rest showed up. All had the same expression, shocked.
"What is going on!" Goku demanded. Then they saw it. A huge black mist spreading all over the world. They all floated up to get away from it.
"Hey guys that mist must be affecting the people, but where did it come from" Gohan concluded. They all flew through Satan City. Seeing the same thing from everyone, careful not to get near the mist. Trunks stopped in midair, gawking. They all stopped and followed his gaze.
On top of a skyscraper, was a castle of some sort. It was large and black, and had 4 towers, making it look like square.
All of a sudden the mist seemed to come to life and it floated towards them at a record speed. The six floated upwards in an attempt to get away. Once it passed they all floated towards the castle. Goku spotted an entrance and turned to the others.
"Guys there's an opening of some sort." He pointed towards it. "Lets go" the Z warriors flew towards the opening and entered.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
The whole castle was black. The hallways split off into every direction known to man. The Z warriors were currently lost.
The camera focuses on a dark corner. A figure rolls out of it, hitting the wall. Goku looked around, clear. He motioned for the rest to follow. Vegeta walked out first, staring at Goku in a deep frown. The rest followed.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
The figure sat in a huge throne room. A black ball beside him, containing Susan. He stared down at the black crystal containing the Z warrior's image in it. He thought.
"I could just send the mist on them but…I know, I'll capture them and let them watch me take over the world. I am so smart."
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Goku led the gang down a passageway. There was a swoosh sound and before they could react, a large cage fell down around them. Then they disappeared. There was a thud as they all landed on the ground, still in the cage, in a huge room. Vegeta quickly stood up, followed by the others.
"Hello my dear guests. How nice to finally meet you." They all looked up to see the bad guy. Trunks gasped when he saw Susan floating beside him. There was little wires coming out of the ball, holding it in the air.
"Who are you?" Trunks screamed. The figure laughed at him.
"My full name is The Lord of Darkness, but you may call me Dark. Now that you are all here, I might as well explain my story. I am trying to take over the world by pulling everyone into despair. I have searched the universe for a person who's heart was totally corrupt. Whose heart was made of ice. I found that person. His name was Vegeta…" Everyone looked at Vegeta, as he stared, speechless.
"Yes you Vegeta. I followed you for some time before the unthinkable happened. Your heart unfroze. I was furious, but I stayed. Hoping you would return, but you never did. Then one day a heart came to this world. It was even worse than Vegeta's so I had to retrieve it. I think you know this person very well" He gestured his hand towards Susan. Trunks growled.
" I sent out to capture this person the day it entered this dimension, but I was met with failure. Remember the day you first met, she passed out, saying she saw a bright light. She was not lying. I was so caught up in catching her I sent the light before realizing she had people with her. So I waited. Until the best thing happened." He stared hard at Trunks. Then an understanding formed in his mind.
"You…You are the one who made that women do that, Susan must have saw us. You are horrible." Trunks yelled at the Lord.
"You are correct. She was heart broken. Oh well, that's good for me. I hope you are happy." he pointed to a large screen. "You have first row seats to the ending of the world." On the screens it showed the mist spreading all over the world. Inside streets, in buildings, down roads. People were walking with desperate looks on their faces. Muttering their failures over and over again.
"What does Susan have to do with this?" Goku screamed at Dark.
"I thought it was obvious oh well, her heart is making the gas. The pain and despair is building up and causing the gas to spread. I am controlling her through her dreams. I'm making her have nightmares and as long as she does, she will continue to make the gas.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Susan looked around. Darkness. She yelled out into the void.
"Hello!" her voice echoed. She looked around hoping to see any kind of light, but none came into view. There was a little voice inside her head that kept telling her something. She listened real close to it.
"You are nothing. Just give up, and it will all be over." She remembered that voice. It had plagued her for the last 6 years and she had never given in. She sure wouldn't now. She heard footsteps.
A shadow came into view. It was inching closer.
"W-Who are y-you?" she quivered. The person came into view and Susan gasped.
"Trunks?" she was flabbergasted.
"Hello Susan." He said in a low, cruel voice.
"Trunks is something wrong…"
"Yes something is wrong, Susan" Susan stared at his unusual behavior.
"What?"
"You!" She fell back at the loudness of his voice. She just stared in shock. "You are my problem Susan. I mean you didn't think I actually liked you did you. You were just someone to pass time with." He walked over to her. A tear slid down Susan's cheek.
"You are such a weakling, How could I ever love you." He continued toward her until her was in front of her. The tears were flowing freely now. He smirked. He grabbed the front of her shirt and lifted her off the ground.
"You are so stupid" he threw her. She landed on the ground with a large "thud".
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
The warriors sat around. Vegeta leaning against the corner, Piccolo in the other. Goku sitting on the floor rubbing his stomach. Goten was following suite. Trunks was sitting in the floor, legs stretched out, head down. Every now and then he would shoot evil glances at Vegeta, which he noticed. Finally he got fed up with it.
"What is it Boy" he yelled at Trunks. Trunks stared at him coldly.
"This is partially you fault." Everyone looked at him from Vegeta. Vegeta looked at him in shock.
"What are you talking about!" he demanded. Trunks stood up.
"You know exactly what I am talking about, about what you did to Susan. You know when you usually do stuff to people you never deny it. Why are you denying it now!" Vegeta looked shocked and then turned angry.
"I do not know what you are talking about Boy, I have said nothing to that girl." They all then heard laughter. They looked up to see Dark laughing at them.
"Boy you should listen to your father. He is telling the truth. Vegeta did not do that. I created a clone of him. I can't believe you haven't figured it out. You're dumber than I thought."
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Susan lay on the ground. Her heart hurt too much to move. She heard footsteps coming toward her. She slowly tilted her head upward. Trunk's figure came toward her. He looked and spit beside her.
"My father was right. Stay away from me." He turned and walked away. She started to cry. She put her hands on the floor and pushed herself up off the ground. She got to her knees. Her hands came up to cover her face to cry.
I knew this was going to happen. Whenever I get close to anything it always ends in heartbreak.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
Trunks stood in deep thought. There has to be a way to stop it. Okay, he said he was controlling Susan through her dreams. Maybe if I… Trunks suddenly had a brilliant idea. Mental communication.
He concentrated so he could talk to her
*Susan can you hear me. * Susan shot her head up at hearing her name.
*Trunks…Is that you? But it can't be…*
*Susan listen to me. Whatever you are seeing it's not real. This guy named Dark is making you have these dreams to make a gas that is taking over the world. You have to listen to me.*
*You mean that nothing that just happened was real. *
*Yes. He is making you lose all hope. That's what is taking over the world. Hopelessness. You have to…*
*Oh Trunks! That is great. * Susan started to stand up. *You mean you weren't just standing here right in front of me.*
*Standing in front of you, I'm in a cage with Goku, Goten, Gohan, Piccolo, and my dad. *
*What's Vegeta doing here* She replied very coldly.
*Oh Susan listen that wasn't my dad who did that. This guy Dark created a clone of him. My dad was inside doing stuff for mom. *
*Oh Trunks that's great…* Suddenly she remembered how she got into this mess *Trunks you two-timing, back-stabbing, son of a…*
*Susan what are you talking about.*
*Trunks don't play dumb with me, I saw you with that other woman. *
*No see you don't understand. I didn't do that. Dark created that woman just to do that. She came up to me and kissed me. I would never do that. *
*You mean that* She was now crying.
*Yes I do*
Trunks looked up at Susan's floating figure. She was crying and the ball was flickering on and off. Dark looked at her.
"There's no way. It can't be…"
"It's working." Trunks said.

Evil cliffhanger I know, but I have to get this out. I have lots of homework to do and if I don't get this out you wouldn't have seen it for another week (that's how long it would have taken me to find my way out of the stack of papers I have for homework). And for all you people who have reviewed so far I thank you.
Also there is this person who labels himself/herself :-( .I want to say that if you hate my story then why are you reading all of my chapters and flaming them. I normally wouldn't pay attention to flamers but if you don't like my fic don't read it. And at least have the guts to leave your own name.
