The Love of My Life
Chapter 6
Sandy screamed and turned to run but she was hit in the back by a ki blast. She fell to the ground and was hammered by more. She felt the heat of the blasts her back and came to terms with the fact that the android would kill her and cried.
"Tell blond boy," she heard the heartless android whisper in her ear once he had stopped throwing blasts, "That we're looking for him."
She heard his fading footsteps and lay crying on the cold pavement, wondering why he had spared her. Was it only because he's trying to get at Trunks? Sandy used all her strength to sit up. Awhile later, she was able to stand up, but she felt dizzy and wanted to throw up. She wasn't feeling very well at all and was worried that perhaps the android had done more harm to her than she had thought. She slowly made her way back to the Capsule Corp. building. When she had finally made it back, she leaned on the doorframe for support and called out to Trunks, though weakly. She was out of breath and felt as if she were going to faint at any minute. The truth was, the ki blast, that would have been harmless to anyone else, had helped shatter the last remaining parts of Sandy's organs. She was now bleeding internally and there was nothing that anyone could do for her.
She pulled herself away from the doorframe and made her way painfully to the room where Trunks now trained. As soon as she opened the door and walked in, she fell to the ground. It was a gravity chamber. Bulma had just recently taken time out of building the time machine and built the special room so Trunks could have a place to train. Trunks had told her not to go in the room because she would distract him and did not tell her what the room actually was, so she did not know about the room's special capabilities. Sandy now lay on the floor of the chamber, struggling to breathe in the intense gravity.
"Trunks," she struggled to say, finally managing a faint noise.
"Sandy?" Trunks asked. He stopped his training routine and turned around to see her. "Oh gosh, get up! The gravity could kill you! Come on, get up," he said as he helped Sandy up and out of the room.
"Trunks…one of the androids stopped me and hit me a couple times in the back with that energy thing he uses. He-He said he was looking for you. I think…he wants to…fight you again." Sandy's breathing became more labored. Trunks said nothing to her, but worried about her condition.
He carried her to a special room that Bulma had set up that was equipped with medical equipment for when Trunks got badly hurt while fighting or training. He never expected to use it for Sandy. Trunks knew that the android must have done some damage to Sandy, even if it wouldn't normally hurt anyone else very much. She was, after all, a messenger for Trunks and 17 wanted to make sure that his message was delivered. But Sandy had become too frail and Trunks worried that the blast might have seriously hurt her.
"Mom, Sandy's sick!" Trunks called over his shoulder as he entered the room. "Sandy, don't worry about the androids right now. I'm training so that eventually I can beat them, but I can't face them right now."
Trunks laid Sandy on her stomach and pulled her shirt up to her neck to see if there were any blisters, cuts, or bruises on her back. Bulma walked in and immediately went to a drawer full of bandages and ointments and brought a few over to the bed.
"There's basically nothing there," she said looking in puzzlement at Sandy's back. "There's just a red mark where the blast must have hit her. There's nothing serious, anyone would be all right after that attack, I would think."
Trunks' face was serious. "I know. But she is in pain right now. I think the blast must have damaged her in some other way," he said looking meaningfully at his mother, not wanting to scare Sandy by saying what he was thinking out loud.
"Maybe," Bulma replied catching on, "But I think that maybe we should find a doctor to look at her."

When Dr. Wellington had finished examining Sandy, he walked out of the room, closed the door behind him, and went to a worried Bulma and an impatient Trunks.
"Well," he said, "There is nothing on the outside that would indicate that she is sick, but nevertheless, she is."
"Duh," Trunks muttered. Bulma elbowed him.
"I have concluded," the doctor continued, "That there is something wrong inside of her. She told me she has Harker's disease and I fear that the energy the android threw at her has worsened her condition. Before she was hit, her body must have just barely been holding itself together, but I'm afraid that the force of the energy has ruptured her organ tissue and she is bleeding internally. There is not much that I can do for her as there aren't very many hospitals nearby that are open, and even less that are capable of handling a situation such as this and I am not qualified to heal her, but believe me, I would if I could."
Tears welled up in Trunks' and Bulma's eyes. Trunks had been planning on proposing to Sandy. He knew it was crazy and they were both too young to get married, but he loved her and wanted her to know it. Besides, he could wait to get married. Bulma immediately thought that if Sandy died, Trunks wouldn't have anyone left except for her. Sandy had been what had kept Trunks from breaking down over Gohan's death. He did a few times, but Bulma imagined that it would have been much worse if Sandy had not been around. Sandy was just like a daughter to Bulma and Bulma wished that Sandy would have been able to live longer. Maybe she and Trunks would have gotten married someday and gave Bulma some grandchildren. Bulma still had hope and prayed that Sandy would recover on her own, or some miracle would happen and someone would heal her.
"The most you can do now is make her life as comfortable as possible until the end," Dr. Wellington continued. "You should say your good-byes now. She could die at any minute, but I think she will last at least for a few hours. Maybe even a day or two, but I doubt it. Just try to make her comfortable."
"Thank you doctor," Bulma said as she showed him to the door.
Trunks stood outside of the room Sandy was in looking at the floor. "I can't believe I'm going to lose her too. First Gohan, now Sandy. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. I love her so much." He punched the wall with his hand and broke through right to the other side of the wall.
He walked into the room and Sandy smiled, ignoring the hole in the wall. "So what did the doctor say?" she asked trying to sound cheerful.
Trunks swallowed. "Well…um…he said…"
"Come on Trunks, tell me the truth," Sandy said becoming somber. She knew it had to be bad news if Trunks was hesitating to tell her something and had punched the wall. They had become very close and Trunks told her everything: how he felt about the androids, how his mom was bugging him about something, or how much he loved her.
"Well," he said quietly, "The doctor said that you don't have very long to live…and that we should make you as comfortable as we can. And I thought that someday I would be making Mom happy by telling her I'm going to marry you. I guess I won't be able to do that now." Trunks started shaking and crying.
It made Sandy cry and she sat up and put her arms around Trunks' neck. They both ended up sobbing and Trunks climbed onto the bed and held Sandy as close as he could without crushing her. Bulma stood watching them outside of the room. Her heart felt a pang as she watched her son lose the only girl he had ever loved. Bulma walked in and talked to Sandy and Trunks for a good part of the night, but knew that neither of them were paying much attention to her. Finally, she left them alone, putting another blanket on top of them so they would stay warm.
They fell asleep in each other's arms.
