Chapter
2
Trunks walked around the streets of Japan. He heard the 'Ooo's' and 'Ahh's' of the many ladies around him. Each batting their eyelashes. He grunted. He didn't have any interest in hitting on girls anymore. He had too much on his mind. Besides, he was engaged.
He stopped at a newspaper stand and asked for an issue of "JAP times". He paid the man and began walking with his nose in the newspaper.
Suddenly with a huge thud he dropped his newspaper and saw that he had run into a woman. She had on a white hat and black sunglasses. She had brown hair with blonde highlights which curled around her face. She had on a white dress that showed every curve on her body. She was 'very attractive' Trunks said to himself. Her dress wasn't showy but it was petit. She was scrambled on the floor. Beside her was a small child. Possibly her own. The child had brown hair and was also wearing a hat. She had brown eyes. The child was trying to help her mom up.
Trunks slapped himself in the forehead.
"I'm sorry miss." He said grabbing her hand.
The woman stood up and stared at the man she was looking at. He couldn't see her reaction behind her dark sunglasses but was very offended when she just nodded her head and started to walk away with her child behind her.
"Excuse me miss, I'm very sorry about that." Trunks said to her back.
The woman didn't turn she just walked away without a word.
Trunks frowned. 'How rude.' He thought. He shrugged off the woman and picked up his paper. He folded the material and walked to his car.
Capsule Corporation
"Mom, I'm home." Trunks shouted.
A blue haired woman walked toward Trunks and smiled. "Good honey, I need you to help me with something." She began to lead the purple haired sajiin toward her laboratory.
Bulma had been very supportive with her son after his 'depressed' state. She had at one night heard a silent whimper in her house and went to follow it. She found it to be her son, curled up in a ball in the corner of his room. Silent tears had been falling from his eyes. She couldn't let her husband find him in this condition, so she did the only thing a loving mother could do for her son. She comforted him that night. He had cried in her arms without a word that escaped his lips. But she didn't need to hear him explain. All that mattered was that he was in tears and he needed to be comforted by her. She had never seen her son so upset, but didn't ask him why he was in tears that night. Even up to this day she had let him keep his feelings to himself.
"Honey, can you lift this machine up for a sec, I can't find the jack and I need to fix something under it." Bulma asked her son.
Trunks sighed, he thought he would actually have to do something important for a change.
Lifting up the heavy machinery, Bulma slipped underneath and began her work. It took her only 5 minutes before she climbed up and told her son to place the machine back down.
Trunks had never seen this machine before. It was very large and looked like a radar.
"What is this anyway?" Trunks asked, he examined the machine closer.
A huge grin came about Bulma's small face.
"It's a surprise." She said happily.
Trunks was about to say something but shrugged it off... It was probably just another time machine or some type of capsule. He just grunted and walked out of the room without another word toward his mother.
Bulma watched her son leave. Her grin grew wider. 'He'll love it..' She thought to herself. Turning toward the machine again she went back to work.. The machine was almost done.
Son-Briefs home
Trunks stood outside the hous.. Mansion of his sister. She had called him up that night and told him that she wanted to have dinner with him. Just the three friends eating together. He couldn't refuse his sister. Besides, he hasn't talked to them in awhile after he isolated himself from the world.
He knocked on the door and smiled when he heard small footsteps running toward the door and a continues "I'll get it!" Or "No I will!". He hadn't seen his nephew and niece in a long time and was happy to able to see them again.
When the door opened, there stood two small figures. They looked straight up at Trunks and two wide grins spread across their faces.
"Uncle Trunks!!!" They said in unison.
The two children jumped toward their uncle and he locked them in a huge group hug.
"Hey you rascals! How are my favorite kids?" He said happily.
"Great!" The two said again.
Suddenly his sister walked out into the room with a smile on her face.
"Stop bugging your uncle you two.." She said frowning.
Trunks laughed and set the two kids on the floor. He walked over to his sister and hugged her tightly.
"How have you been bro?" She said.
"Good.. And you?" He asked.
"AH! With these two as your kids, how can you be OK?" She said jokingly.
Trunks laughed and Bra led him to her kitchen. There was a huge amount of food on her dining room table. Enough for 4 sajins. Trunks began to get very hungry.
Goten entered the room. "Hey!! It's boxer boy!" Goten said happily with his son-like smile.
"Ha! And it's the idiot!" Trunks yelled.
The two old friends laughed.
"Well, lets eat! I'm starved!" Goten said rushing toward one of the seats.
Trunks and Bra nodded and followed the sajin.
The three friends began eating, they were having conversations about past experiences, and laughing about it. It was like old times. The only thing missing, however, was the one mouth of the group that wouldn't shut up. The one sajin that always had something to say.. Pan.
"So how are you and Heather?" Goten asked.
"We're OK.. We never really see each other, but mom said that will be good and we'll never get sick of each other." Trunks said.
Bra looked at her brother sadly.. 'Why can't he marry for love?' She thought to herself.
"Trunks.. Do you love her?" Bra asked.
The room grew silent. Trunks stared at his plate and began to play with his food. His eyes were lowered from his friends. There was a long pause in the room.
Trunks looked at his two friends and put on a smile, "Ya, I love her. I mean, she's beautiful and sexy and.. Perfect! Of course I love her."
Silence.
His smile faded away quickly and he began eating again.
Goten and Bra didn't say a word.
An awkward silence filled the room. Goten wanted to break the silence so he said the first thing that popped in his head.
"You know what? Remember whenever there were long pauses in conversations and Pan would always be the one to say something random and get everyone laughing again?" Goten covered his mouth after realizing what he just said.
The expression on Bra's face scared Goten. She gave him a death glare and Goten gulped nervously.
Trunks had lost his appetite, his face went pale and he grew silent.
"Trunks.. You need to get over her.." Bra said sadly.
Trunks looked at her. "What are you talking about? I'm not upset!" Trunks denied.
Bra looked at her brother. To see him in such denial was too much to bear. She bowed her head down and didn't say a word.
"Can I not be a little bit sad that my best friend is gone?" Trunks yelled. His tone was full of fury.
"Calm down Trunks, she doesn't mean it like.." Goten began.
"No! I know what she meant! She thinks something is going on between me and Pan! Well there isn't okay! When she comes back.." Trunks yelled.
"That's the thing Trunks! She's not coming back! Get over it! Pan is probably dead somewhere and will never come back! Never!" Bra screamed at her brother, tears began to run down her face.
Trunks bolted up out of his chair and threw the table to the floor, breaking it in half and destroying everything on it. Bra gasped in shock and Goten just watched his best friend go crazy.
"SHE IS COMING BACK! I DON'T CARE WHAT ANY OF YOU SAY!" Trunks screamed. His voice shook the entire mansion. Without another word he ran out the door and slammed it shut. Bra and Goten just sat there in shock and waited until the sound of his car faded off into the distance.
