DISCLAIMER:I do not own DBZ
Trunks sat through the entire movie with Marron kissing his neck. He didn't do a thing but she didn't notice, normally they would have been making out but today Trunks wasn't in the mood for that. The look in Jewel's eyes when he had left with Marron hurt him and he didn't know why.
When the movie was finally over Trunks began to fly away but Marron grabbed his hand. "Trunks, why won't you kiss me anymore?" she asked, her eyes wide. "You act like I'm just some girl who you don't want to offend, but don't really like. Why?"
When he didn't respond Marron's eyes widened. "It's Jewel, isn't it? You love Jewel!"
Trunks shook his head. "No!" he said. "I don't love her, she's just my friend."
Marron shook her head. "Some people think I'm just a blond ditz who knows nothing and cares only for myself. But I see a lot more then people think I do. I saw the look you gave her before you agreed to come with me, I saw the tears in her eyes when we left. You may not love her, but she sure loves you."
Trunks shook his head. "You're wrong Marron, she doesn't love me. I don't think she wants to love anyone."
Marron nodded. "She doesn't want to end up like her mother. But with her looks and personality I get the feeling that she might. Then whoever loved her would go through life angry, attempting to get rid of the guilt that plagues him. Just like Vegeta."
Trunks didn't say a thing, just stared ahead. Marron sighed and kissed him. "Call me Trunks, if you ever want to go out again. I'll be waiting, but please don't make me suffer through what Bulma did." Then she walked away quietly.
Trunks watched her go, thinking over what she had just said. Then he dismissed with a shake of his head. Marron was crazy; Jewel didn't love him, she only thought of him as a good friend. He'd ask her and she'd tell him the truth.

After they finished training Jewel and Vegeta went inside to eat dinner, Vegeta had invited her to stay. Bulma didn't seem too happy about this, probably because Jewel reminded her of Katea, who had been her best friend.
"Hi Jewel!" Bra shouted from the table. She was working on some project that involved a lot of very small objects. Bulma didn't say anything so Jewel collapsed into a chair near Bra, exhausted.
"Have a good day?" Bra asked.
Jewel replied, "No, it was one of the worst days of my life."
"Why what happened?" Bra asked. Bulma even titled her head to hear.
Jewel sighed. "Well, I told your brother what I fear most is being like my mother. You know, loving someone who loves you but is too proud to admit it? I do not want that to happen to me." Suddenly they all heard glass shatter. They turned to see a pale Vegeta holding the remains of a glass cup in his left hand.
"Damn it!" he yelled. "Why won't you leave me alone? She's dead, okay, dead! And she's never coming back!" He then went into his room and slammed the door behind him.
Bra was pale. "He always gets like that when your mother is mentioned. Most of the time my mom just cries." She pointed at Bulma whose shoulders were shaking. "Your mother was her best friend. She misses her too."
Jewel nodded. Bra continued, "So, who do you love?"
Jewel shook her head. "I'm not telling you."
"Why not? Normally you tell me everything!"
"I'm not telling you because I love more then one man, and I do not think that any of them love me."
"Nonsense!" Bra blurted. "All the guys like you! You're just too perfect, too beautiful and too much of a reminder of your mother."
Jewel stood up and said, "I'm not staying for dinner Mrs. Briefs." Then she left.
Bulma turned. "Why did she leave, Bra?"
Bra shrugged. "I don't know, she doesn't want to talk right now I guess." They both shrugged and went back to work.

Jewel went straight to her house. Well it wasn't just her house; she shared it with Radirz and Viara. But she was the only one who was usually there; the others were off at work most of the time.
Jewel flopped down in front of the T.V. and turned it on. But nothing really interesting was on, just a whole lot of stuff about the upcoming World Tournament. One channel had a love story on, but Jewel wasn't in the mood for anything that dealt with love. So she turned the T.V. off and lay down. No sooner had she drifted off to sleep when someone entered the house. Not sure if she was dreaming or not Jewel simply smiled and said, "Hello." "Hello," the voice said. It sounded very familiar, Trunks! He sat down beside her and took her hand. Unable to help it Jewel blushed. "Do you love me Jewel?" the shadow Trunks asked. Jewel didn't know what to say. So she said, "I don't know Trunks, maybe I do. But I'm not sure." Shadow Trunks sighed and kissed her gently. "I was afraid you would say that," he said. "You need to stop being afraid of becoming your mother. Her life wasn't all bad. After all, she had you." Then he disappeared and Jewel drifted off to sleep against her will.
Someone said, "Jewel, come on Jewel it's morning! You have lessons with Goku first thing today. If you don't get up I'll get Radirz down here." Jewel opened her eyes and looked up at her older sister, Viara. Viara had Vegeta's hair and Katea's eyes. She wasn't as strong or pretty as Jewel but she didn't really care about looks or strength. "You must have had a good dream," Viara said. "you were smiling before I woke you up." Jewel stretched out and stood up. "It was an okay dream I guess. Trunks, no a shadow of Trunks came and spoke to me, he kissed me." Viara laughed. "I guess that means that you love Trunks!" Jewel shook her head. "No. It means that I am too afraid of being like mother to love anyone. I have to accept that I'm not going to be like her. If I keep acting like this then I will end up like her and then my whole life will be wasted because of fear." "That's true," Viara said. "I'm glad that you finally see it that way." She walked to the kitchen and called back. "By the way, you've got a date tonight!" Jewel's eyes widened. "With who?" she asked. "Not a clue," Viara replied. "There's a note on the table beside you that says to meet him at the theatre in town at eight o'clock." Jewel picked up the note and read, Jewel, Please meet me tonight at the theatre in town and we'll catch a movie. See you there.
Jewel shrugged. "I guess I'll go since I don't really have much else to do!"
That's chapter two! Hope you liked that one too. Please review and tell me who you think the strange should be. If you don't I'll decide.
