I don't have much to say this time, except for "Thank you for reviewing!" and "Enjoy this chapter!" ^^

Last time in "The Lost Warrior":

"But Bulma said that Trunks could convince her by opening up his mind for her and as far as I know is that just possible…"

"When they've bonded. It's true, you two share a bond." Vegeta interrupted Videl. The half-Saiyan nodded.

"Hey! But that means that my daughter and Vegeta's son will marry and have children!" Goku said cheerfully.

"KAKAROTTO! SHUT UP!!!" Vegeta shouted and all people in the living room started to laugh.

Chapter 7: „Reactions"

After they stopped laughing, they decided that everyone needed now some time for homself to think about what will happen, now that they found her. Trunks told them, that he would watch over her and that he would call everyone as soon as she's awake and ready to face them, so each of them went into their apartment. "Hey Goten, you wanna come with us?" Goku asked his youngest.

"No, sorry dad, but I think I just need some time alone," he said and went outside to the garden they all shared.

This Saturday really was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and it was warm and so Goten laid down on his back and closed his eyes. This day had happened just too much. He still couldn't believe it. The search after his sister had now found an end. Somehow it made him happy that Jenny was the one and not some other arrogant and stuck-up girl like Maria from their French-class. He smiled at the thought. Maria and fighting? She already began to scream when she saw a spider or a mouse. But Jenny was different. Both things happened at the beginning of their French-class. Maria suddenly began to scream, when she saw a spider running over her table. Jenny didn't hesitate and caught it with her hands bringing it to the window. The same thing happened with the mouse. Jenny chased it in a carton, which stood in the class and brought the mouse outside. When they were training it didn't bother her that her clothes were torn apart after a sparring match or when she got scratches. Sometimes she reacted the same way Vegeta would react: in a Saiyajin-way. But something bothered the half-Saiyan. Now that they had found her, their mission was almost completed and they would leave this dimension soon. And because of that he had to tell the others about his bond with Shana and his decision to stay here. This would be hard, especially for his mother, he knew this, but he couldn't beg Shana to come with him. 'Dende, she doesn't even know who and what I really am. How can I explain all those things to her?' With that thought Goten fell slowly asleep. This day was too exhausting until now and it wasn't even 1pm.

"ChiChi, are you ok? You didn't say a thing the whole time;" Goku said putting one arm around his wife so that she could rest her head on his shoulders.

"Don't worry honey, I'm okay. I think I was just shocked about this revelation. It came so sudden and I still can't believe fully that we finally found her."

"Are you happy that we found her?"

"Yes, I am… Are you?"

Goku kissed her on her forehead. "Of course I am."

"It must be really hard for her. But she took it well, I guess. I would not know how I would react when someone tells me that I originally come from another dimension, that I have completely other parents and that I'm a half-alien, too. I would have been totally distracted."

"I think she feels this way, she just won't show it openly. It's typical Saiyajin. Never show any emotions, do always pretend everything is ok, or otherwise it will make you weak," Goku told his wife.

"When you're right, I hope that some time she will open up to us and or that she at least will trust Trunks."

"Don't worry, she already trusts him. She already opened up to him and showed him everything she feels."

"She must feel lost now."

"Maybe lost, but she will never be alone."

"I still can't believe that you knew it the whole time and didn't tell us!" Gohan said to his daughter.

"You've never asked," she said simply.

"But you just could have told us!"

"Gohan, please stop, she's just a child."

"I'm sorry, but everything's so overwhelming. And then the fact, that she was there, for the last few weeks, almost daily coming over to Goten to study or to train with him, and we didn't even notice a thing."

"Maybe the time just wasn't right until now."

"Daddy? I think mommy's right. Look, in the last time she got to know us and to trust us. What would have happened, if we had found her the first day? I think she wouldn't have believed a thing of what we told her and then Trunks couldn't have used this bond-thing to convince her. Or what do you think daddy?"

"I think you think toO much for your age. But you are right!" he said first smiling down to his daughter and then kissing his wife.

At the same time Bulma and Vegeta were sitting in the kitchen, when Bra entered the room. "Mommy? Daddy? Now that we found Goten's and Gohan's sister, do you think, she will come with us back to our dimension? Or will she and Trunks stay here?" the small girl asked her parents. Bulma first looked at her husband who frowned at this question and then at her daughter.

"Actually, I didn't think of this, yet. As far as I know Jenny loves her parents, and I don't think that she will leave everything behind. And fact is, that she and your brother must stay together. I think to find out what will happen, we have to talk to them. Or what do you think Vegeta?" Her husband just 'hmphed' and left the kitchen walking to the small balcony of their bedroom. "Bra honey, why don't you go downstairs and tell the others that we will have dinner in about two hours here?"

"'kay mom!" With that the small girl stormed out of their apartment to tell everyone about it. Then Bulma followed her husband to the balcony and put a hand on his shoulder.

"I've sent Bra away, now you can talk openly, if you want."

"There's nothing to talk about, if the boy wants to stay here, it's his decision and I can't do anything against it," Vegeta said, avoiding the gaze of his wife. He knew she could read his eyes better than anyone else and he wouldn't allow her to see how much he was afraid of letting his son go, his only son. Bulma ignored this and leaned against his shoulder.

"I know exactly how you feel Vegeta. I'm afraid, too." Vegeta sighed and put his arm around his mate, pulling her closer and rested his head on hers.

Trunks was sitting in his room, for he didn't know how long. He was just staring the whole time at the girl he loved. The girl who was claimed to be the half-Saiyajin they were searching for almost one year. He fell in love with the sister of his best friend. How ironic. Trunks smirked. She was lying there so peacefully and she seemed always to be so carefree when he had been with her. Trunks couldn't believe the fear she hid the whole time. He felt it, when she opened her heart for him. He saw the dream; their friends were dead and then the person who killed them all came towards her and she couldn't do anything. That was the moment she broke the contact. It must have been horrible. When Jenny was tired in school she just said that she didn't sleep well. 'Was it because of this dream? Was it because of this dream she wanted to learn how to fight so badly? Maybe she is dreaming about the fight which will come in about one year.' He had to talk to her about that and he wouldn't talk with someone else about it, not without her permission.

At this moment someone knocked at the door. Trunks opened the door and saw his best friend standing in front of him.

"Hey," he whispered, trying not to wake her up, "can I come in?"

"Sure."

"How is she?"

"Fine."

"Good. Trunks, your mom sent me here to tell you that we will have dinner in about 10 minutes, and that you should come, too. I also think that you can leave her alone for a few minutes to eat something. So, will you come?"

"Just one moment," Trunks told his best friend, walked over to Jenny and kissed her on the cheek. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon," he whispered in her ear and then left his room, following his friend to the dining room, where everyone else is already gathered.

ChiChi and Goku and Gohan walked over to Trunks as he entered the room. "Is she ok?" Goku asked.

Trunks nodded. "Yes, but she's still sleeping."

"This whole thing must have been quite exhausting for her," Gohan added.

"What do you think should we do now, that we found her?" ChiChi asked.

"Dende told us something about a battle that will take place in about one year," Bulma mumbled.

"So I think we must start to train her like a Saiyajin as soon as possible," Vegeta said.

"But when do you think she's ready for that?" Goten asked worried.

"What about now?" They heard a voice from the door. The group turned around and saw a smirking Jenny standing in the doorframe, arms crossed over her chest.
