Chapter 3: True feelings come forth
"Thanks for having me over, I was awfully lonely. Trunks and Marron were out sparring."
"You mean the girl fights too?!" Mindy exclaimed.
"I know. Isn't it great? And she is really good. Trunks says he has to stay in super sayian most of the time. And supposedly when she really gets into it, she pushes him into SS2. I am glad she is on our side."
Chi Chi, Videl, and Mindy looked at each other.
"That brings us to the topic of these tea party, Bulma," Chi Chi said, as she watched her finger trace the rim of the teacup. "We don't feel safe when she is around."
"I feel like I can't let my guard down. I have felt like that for the past 2 months." Mindy told her.
"I don't see why you feel that way. Things are different over there and I really don't think you should let it bother you. Plus with all of our fighters getting old, she's a new source of protection."
Mindy looked from Bulma to Videl and Chi Chi. "I know but still--"
"And Trunks would have picked up on something by now if she was here to do us harm."
"But not if puppy love blocked his perception." Videl said, shaking her head.
Bulma stood up. "You honestly think a heart broken women forced to leave her home would kill us? If I had any way to contact that dimension I would prove to you she wouldn't hurt us."
"Bulma, shut up! You haven't lost your whole family to those heart-less monsters. If there wasn't something holding me back, I-- would rip her to pieces!!" Chi Chi screamed.
Bulma looked at the 3 women, fire in her eyes, then stood up and left.

*knock knock*
"Come in Bulma."
"How'd ya know it was me?"
"Trunks just barges in." Marron laughed, putting down her pen and makeshift diary.
Bulma sat on her bed and just stared.
"What's wrong?"
"My 3 best friends turned on me today."
"It has to do with me, doesn't it?"
"No but yes. They can't forgive and forget. They don't understand that androids have no control over what they are doing. They do as programmed, not as willed. They killed because that is what they were told to do."
"They are afraid of me?" Marron whispered.
"Yes, but don't worry your pretty little head off about it. They will come to understand."

"They are afraid of me?"
"Yes, but don't worry your pretty little head off about it. They will come to understand."
Trunks heard these words through the ventilation in his room. He looked at the pictures in his hands. 1 was labeled 'my family'. It was of Marron, Krillin and Juuachigou. Another was labeled 'our group', and was of everyone. It was the one he looked at most often. And the last one had Marron, Goten, Trunks and a younger version of Bulma, all smiling and hugging. It was labeled 'Marron, Trunks, Goten and Bra.....best friends from birth to death and beyond'.
"Well that twerp didn't fulfill that promise but I will make sure that this Trunks does." he vowed, then picked up the pictures and flew off to Chi Chi's.

*ring ring*
Marron picked up the phone but before she could say anything the person on the other end began talking.
"Bulma!" the voice screamed.
"Hold on one moment, I'll go get her."
"Marron!"
"Yes ma'am?"
"Did you send Trunks over here with your pictures?"
"No, I didn't know he had my pictures."
"Go get Bulma!!"
Marron handed the screaming phone over to Bulma.
"Hello?....No I didn't-...He what-...I didn't know he had left...I DID NOT!!...I'll be right over!!!" Bulma slammed the phone down. "Come on Marron, that half sayian son of mine just dug our hole deeper."
Marron looked at her and smiled. "Give me one second. The other Trunks gave me a capsule in the case he left in the breacher. I didn't know how it could help, but now I do."
How'd you like it? Yes?? No?? should I bother continuing?? Please tell me something. Thanks
