Feelings, hopes, and dreams all can just flicker away, like a small candle's flame in the wind.
"In the Night Sky"
Morrie was holding on to the top of the roof with both hands. Her feet still on her window sil and with one swift movement she was on the roof like it was no sweat. She did this almost every other night since her mother and father died by the hands of the cyborgs and every night since her brother was killed by cell 3 weeks ago. She sat down on the edge over looking to city, as she gazed up into the sea of stars, she saw a shooting star blazing by. She closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath...
"I wish I wouldn't have to be alone anymore." She thought as she slowly opened her eyes to a darkened and dead sky. Although Trunks had "awaken" everyone from that terrible nightmare, she felt that she was still dreaming the worst of all nightmares, being alone.
At that same moment in time, not far Trunks was standing on his balcony, just staring blankly at the stars. His long lavender hair lightly blowing in the wind. Then out of nowhere the same shooting star grabbed his attention. He sighed and made a wish… His wish was for someone he could talk to and someone that could understand him. Sure he had his mother, but he felt like he needed something more then a mother to talk to. After going into the past and finding the powers to beat the deadly cyborgs he felt more lost about himself then ever. He thought about cell and how many people he killed. He wondered if the human race would live through all of this. Not even half of the some billon people lived to see the next day after Cell came. But now there was no more evil to deal with so maybe, just maybe the humans will live on. He sighed and started to walk to the door, then he stopped, turned around and jumped into the sky. He started to race through the city, he wasn't sure why, but he just was. Something told him to do so.
Morrie held onto the roof with both hands ready to jump back into her room. As she moved her foot to the window sil, it slipped. She began to fall, but she grabbed onto the window sil with both hands. "Oh, god someone please help me!!!" she screamed but no one heard her. "Please, someone please help me!!!" she cried. Trunks fell over-head unaware of what was going on below him. Morrie slowly looked up again and saw Trunks flying by. "HELP ME!!!!!!" she cried again. Trunks looked down with a confused look on his face. Then he saw the young girl holding on for dear life. Morrie tried to pull herself up and into the window but she couldn't. Trunks quietly flew down, swiftly picked Morrie up and set her down on the roof.
"You really should be more careful." Trunks said looking down at the young girl.
Morrie sighed and dropped to her knees, still a little out of breath. She glanced up at Trunks, who was still staring at her waiting for her to reply and then she quickly look down again. "It's not like anyone would care if I was gone anyways." she said looking more and more upset.
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked blinking.
"I mean that all of my family and friends are gone, killed, not here anymore. I have no one therefore no one would care or miss me if I left this earth" she hissed between her teeth "Who are you anyways?" Trunks looked at Morrie with a disappointed look on his face. Morrie looked up to him again and gasped at whom she now saw. " T-t-t-trunks?"
He nodded "And who are you?" he asked
"I'm Morrie …… what are you doing here?"
"That's the thanks I get for saving your life?" he smiled
Morrie jumped up "Oh my god!! I'm so sorry" she screamed "thank you so much" she said quickly and smiled.
Trunks smiled then he saw Morrie's face and blushed "She's kinda cute" he thought then turned bright red. Morrie blinked "I eeeer … umm … your welcome" He said in a high voice. Morrie blinked again. Trunks cleared his throat Morrie blinked once more. "So you've heard about me?"
Morrie nodded "You're the one that killed the cyborgs and Cell." She said as she gazed down at her feet.
"I'm sorry to ask this, but was your family killed by the cyborgs?" Trunks asked in a quite voice
"Yeah, eer um my mother and father were killed by them, and my brother was killed by Cell" Morrie spoke calmly crossing her arms.
"I'm so sorry, I lost someone who was like a father to me a long time ago" Trunks said putting his hand out to Morrie's now turned back
"Yeah, well, I'm sorry, too, but people die sooner or later it's all a matter of when" Morrie said coldly. "I'm sorry to say it but that's just my view on life now."
"So, I bringing light to the nightmare that we once lived doesn't help you?" Trunks sighed
"It was to late for me to be awakened from my 'nightmare', so I must always live it. But you saved so many people from the nightmare, that I almost wish that you could save me, too" Morrie turned around and finally looked into Trunks' eyes. When trunks looked back into hers he saw beaten and soulless eyes. Full of hate and discuss for the world. Morrie walked to the other side of the roof and pointed. "There is where they died…. And there is where my soul was killed"
"You look pretty young to talk about these things" Trunks spoke softly.
Morrie looked up "What do you mean?" she asked
"You say your soul is dead and that you have no reason to live on. That right there is weak. I never gave up on my mission, but you gave up before even trying." Trunks said walking to Morrie.
"Oh, and what is my mission in life? It is surely not to defeat some heart and soulless cyborgs that terrorize and kill the human race!?" She asked looking up at Trunks
"No, but surely it is to find meaning in this life"
"I have no meaning…. My life shouldn't really be here now. If it wasn't for me my brother would still be alive! If I had just ran with my brother, then he would still be here!!"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is... when Cell came to this town right before you beat that monster into the ground! Cell thought he would need more people's energy. My brother and I were in the wrong place at the wrong time. My brother begged to run but I was too scared! I feared for my own life instead of my brother who only thought of me. Cell came racing towards us but before he grabbed me. My brother pushed me out of the way. I saw him killed" Morrie closed her eyes and tightened her fist. Trunks stared at her in disbelief "Then I ran, that's when I ran I just let my brother die I didn't do anything to stop Cell and my brother just died"
"Stop it! BAKA NA!!!" Trunks yelled. Morrie looked up "you brother died you can't changes that!" Trunks growled
"NO! I can't change it that's what's so bad about it!" Morrie hissed back to Trunks. Morrie dropped to her knees again and started to cry. Trunks knelt down beside her and put his hand on her shoulder. Morrie quickly jump up and twisted Trunks' arm around. Morrie then blinked and let go of Trunks. "I'm so sorry!" Morrie yelped
"It's ok it didn't really hurt anyways, but you do have some grip there. Where did you learn that?" Trunks asked with a smile.
"Well, living the way I do you have to know that kind of stuff or your as good as dead." Morrie shrugged
"If you don't mind me asking this, but you seem like you want to die so much then why did you scream for help instead of letting yourself fall?"
"I don't know" Morrie sighed "I guess was to scared to die"
Trunks nodded "where do you live and how do you get food and money now I mean since your brother died"
"Why do you ask?" Morrie grumbled "And for that matter why do you care"
"Are you always this cold to people you just met who are trying to help you?" Trunks laughed
"No, I just I uh… I'm not really use to people helping me. You know... I've been alone for a while and the way you live on the streets is to be and look tough even if you really aren't."
"Must be a terrible life"
"The only one I know"
