This is a sweet, short little story that I modeled after the
children's book, "I'll Love You Forever." I can't remember who wrote the book,
but I remember I loved it as a child, and I still love it. It made me cry. I
hope you like this little twist-off.
Okay, I wrote this in a very short amount of time, too, so
don't expect an errorless piece of work.
Danke!

**************My Baby You'll Be************
The
blue-haired beauty held the adorable bundle up for the hospital to see. It was
a crying, bald, soggy baby, the cutest baby in the world, as far as she was
concerned. She loved him as soon as she saw him, and never stopped. The dark
saiyan who was the baby's father looked on his offspring with indifference, but
behind his mask, she knew that there was a seed of pride sprouting rapidly.
Sometimes
the baby cried so much he wet his pants. Sometimes he threw up all over her
favorite shirt. Sometimes he whined and wailed all through the night.
But
sometimes, when the baby wasn't crying, and he was fast asleep in his little
room at Capsule Corp, as peaceful as a kitten, she would quietly creep into his
room, lift his tiny body into her arms, and rock him gently, singing:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.
The years passed by quickly, and
soon Trunks was a cute little toddler. He ambled around the Corporation, using
the new words he learned all the time (No! No! No! No! NOOOOOO!!). His dad
began teaching him some basic sparring techniques, and soon he was able to beat
Yamcha. He was a very hyper kid, alright. Sometimes his mommy got a little
scared.
But sometimes, when the toddler
wasn't shouting at the top of his lungs, and he was fast asleep in his
toy-covered little room in Capsule Corp, as peaceful as a bunny, she would
quietly creep into his room, lift his small body into her arms, and rock him
gently, singing:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.
Again, time flew by, and Trunks grew
into a feisty ten-year-old. He played sports; baseball, cricket, and soccer,
and his mom had to chauffer him everywhere. Sometimes she wished he would get
older and get a license. His dad continued training him, and soon he could beat
Krillen. He was a busy little lad. Bulma was even busier.
But
sometimes, when the busy ten-year-old wasn't playing a myriad sports and
harrowing his mother for a ride, and he was fast asleep in his messy little
room in Capsule Corp, as peaceful as a lamb, she would quietly creep into his
room, lift his hefty ten-year-old body into her arms, and rock him gently,
singing:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.
More years passed, and Trunks
became a rowdy teenager. He drove his own car (thankfully), invited large
groups of friends over for pizza and movies, crashed around the house, and
began to see girls in a different light. His 'pop' kept up with his training,
and soon he could beat Piccolo. He was rude to his mother, however
infrequently, and he yelled at his dad when he was angry. Bulma had a lot of
migraines.
But
sometimes, when the flamboyant teen wasn't throwing pizza slices at the walls
or head banging to heavy metal music, and was fast asleep in his
poster-plastered and blacklight-illuminated room in Capsule Corp, as peaceful
as a sleepy mare, she would quietly creep into his room, lift his heavy
teen-age body into her arms, and rock him gently (or as gently as she could
considering his weight), singing:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.
Trunks got
older and older, and soon he was a young man. He graduated from college and
moved out of Capsule Corp to a house down the street. He became caught up in
his life of business and politics, hardly having any time for his family. He
continued his training, and soon he was able to beat his own father sometimes
(only when Vegeta had a cold, though…). Bulma regretted that she couldn't see
him more often.
But
sometimes, when the handsome man wasn't making business deals or taking phone
calls, and was fast asleep in his nice home down the street, as peaceful as a
manitee, she would walk quietly down the street, climb through his window, lift
his huge body into her arms, and rock him gently (while sitting, of course),
singing:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be
Well, Bulma
wasn't getting any younger. Soon her hair was gray, and her bones creaked from
time to time. Soon she didn't have the strength to walk down the street and
climb into Trunks' room. She got sick, and had to stay in her room all the
time.
But Trunks
loved his mother, and came to visit her every day. And when no one else was
there, and Bulma was drowsy and tired, Trunks would lift the aged woman into
his arms, and rock her gently, singing:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My mommy you'll be.
Trunks grew
into a strong leader. He brought the Capsule Corp into riches untold. He met a
lovely young woman (who do you think she is?) and they were married. Later on, a
baby was born to the couple, a beautiful baby girl. Bulma absolutely adored
her.
And when
this baby wasn't crying or wetting her diapers, and was fast asleep in her
little room in Trunks' house, Trunks would creep into her room, lift her tiny
body into his arms, and rock her, singing:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.
END (or is it?)
