"Hey Trunks, how many more do we need??"


"1 more! It hasn't taken us that long to find them all has it Gohan?"


"Nope, but the last time we went to search for them we were a lot weaker. Therefore, we were a lot slower. Since then, we have grown a lot stronger."


"That's true. Well i'm glad, the sooner we get all the Dragonballs, the sooner we can wish my father back. Say, do you think he will be happy to see me? Or, do you think he will say that it was a waste of our time to find the Dragonballs for him? Do you think that he will stop being mean to me and everyone else?? Or, will he just be the same bad person he was before?? I just don't know.... Now that I think about all this, is this really a good idea?"


"Gee Trunks, I wished you had thought of this sooner, we have come so far... Lets net let this be a waste of our time. Lets have a little fun and see how he has changed. I mean, this is a chance for him to change, start over! If I were him, I would turn over a new leaf! And Trunks, your dreams. They say it all... He talked to you in your dream. You told me that in your dream you said he said that he had changed. Believe him. I do..."


"I guess your right Trunks, I should just stop worrying. I mean, it's worrying that got me into trouble before right?? I would really not like to go though that again. I was terrible."


"I'm sure it was Trunks. Hey there's the last Dragonball!" Trunks and Gohan flew down down to claim the final 7th Dragonball. Now they were able to make a wish. Well 2 wishes.


"Heh, so Trunks, your first wish will to bring Vegeta back, what's going to be your 2nd??"


"Hmm I don't really know Goahn, I'll let you have it. You helped me through the hard times I have been going through, you helped me find the Dragonballs as well. Boy, i'm sure lucky to have a friend like you." Gohan started blushing a bit.


"Gee, thanks Trunks, but I don't know what to wish for. I would really hate to wish it on something stupid, so i'll let you have it. I'm sure have something other than your father back right?? C'mon! Wish for something nice for you mom! I'm sure we would like a new computer, but, you could make it so... Ahh never mind, she already has computers... Well you mom has everything she needs, or how about your Grandfather?? Or Your grandmother? Or, you could wish for something for you dad when he comes back!! Maybe some new training equipment or..."


"Gohan slow down, I really want you to have the wish. I cant do anything with it."


"Trunks I told you, I cant do anything with it either. Lets just wish for nothing. Ok?? Lets just get on with wishing Vegeta back!!" Trunks smiled and nodded. They flew away again to find a big open space.


"Hmmm This looks good Gohan, what do you think?"


"It's fine. Are you ready?"


"Yep, but Gohan, I hope you don't mind me asking but this is something I need to do alone. So, do you think you can wait here??"


"Of course!! No problem."


"Thanks Gohan." Trunks nodded and turned and walked out into the middle of the big space. He put the 7 balls all together. He didn't do anything though, he just stood there. The wind in his hair, the setting sun behind him. He closed his eyes and imagined the image of his father. He opened his eyes and focused of the Dragonballs that were before him. As he summoned the Dragon, Gohan was sitting on a rock. The same rock Trunks sat on when he first came to this time. That was so long ago... And here they were again... Trunks stepped back from where he was standing as the Dragon rose above him.


"What do you wish for??" Bellowed the great Dragon. Trunks stood there, frozen. He didn't know what to think. He had only gone on journeys to find the Dragonballs, but he had never seen the Dragon.


"I, I wish for myy fathther VVegeta to be rereturned tto thiiis dididimention."


"Hmm Let me see... No, It can not be done." Trunks mouth dropped.


"Why?? Why not??"


"Because The one called Vegeta has already been wished back before. He can not be brought back again."


"I, I don't believe this... Father... NOOOOOO!!" Gohan looked up at Trunks, he could here his screams but had know clue on what they meant.


"Trunks told me to stay here, so I will."


"I don't have all day, make your wishes."


"Well ok, he didn't want anything, but I give him something anyway. I wish for my friend Gohan's mother Chichi to forget about his homework for... a... month."


"It will be done. And for you last wish?" Trunks though about it, but couldn't think of anything.


"I wish for nothing."


"All right then. Your wishes have been granted." With that, the Dragon disappeared and the 7 balls flew up and scattered. Trunks turned and went back to Gohan.


"Well, how did it go??" Trunks didn't say anything. He just flew away.


"Hey Trunks!! Where are you going??" But Trunks never said anything. He just kept on flying.


"I guess Vegeta couldn't be brought back. Poor guy Trunks, he was so happy about the hole thing..." Gohan sighed and started flying too. "Well if he ends up at the hospital again...

I would not be surprised.
