Chapter 2 Dreaming of the past, "Chiona you stay here with Trunks and I'll go fight."
"But Gohan let me help you. You can't go it alone, you'll get kil-"
"You have to stay here with him. Just incase he wakes up. I'll be fine."
"But Gohan-"
"Just do it." He smiled at her.
"Fine" she said reluctantly.
"Thanks Chiona."
"You're not welcome." He laughed and ruffled her hair. She moved out of the way looking annoyed as usual.
"You know I don't like that."
"Sorry" He smiled sadly at her.
He knew this would probably be the last time he would see her. But he couldn't let her fight. He couldn't let both of them get killed. Someone had to take Trunks back and look after him. And at least one of them well live, so their mother wouldn't be all alone.
BOOM.
They heard as the androids destroyed another building. They both looked as it fell.
"Be careful."
He turned around and saw her worried face. He put his arm around, her and hugged her.
"I will."
She held her tears back. She couldn't let go of the feeling that she wasn't going to see him again. He let go of her. "If anything happens I want you to take Trunks and go to Capsule corp. don't try to fight, just go."
She looked at him "Gohan I-"
"Just do it Chiona, please."
She looked into his eyes. They were pleading with her to listen to him. She looked away
"Ok" she mumbled
"Thanks"
He said putting his hand on her shoulder. He was glad when she didn't pull away. He put his fighting face on. And said the last thing she remembered
"See ya" He said, and left. She looked up and watched him go
"See ya" She whispered.
But she knows it would be the last time. She looked at Trunks still form on the ground. The wind started to blow and Chiona looked up to see her brother fighting. Her heart started beating fast as she watched. Her brother seemed to be doing well. But she knew not for long.
She wanted to help him. She wanted fight with him like she always did but she knew she had to stay put. She kept on watching and her greatest fear came to life. She watched as the androids made a huge ki ball and throw at him, giving her brother know where to escape and then
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
He was gone .The androids seemed to be laughing. Then they left. All she heard was his scream before he died. She stood there. Not being able to move for a long time .All she could do was tremble.
"Gohan"
Her legs gave way. She couldn't think straight. Tears started to roll down her cheek.
"GOHAN!!!!"
Chiona woke up with a start. She was breathing heavy and tears were in her eyes. She heard the thunder outside as it lighten up the sky. She looked out the window it was pouring, reminded her of that night of Gohans death. It rained just like this. The same day Trunks turned SSJ because of it.
Chiona sat up in bed. She put her knees up to her chest and wiped her arm around them. Tears still came down her face. These nightmares came to her almost every night for the last few mouths. The dreams never left her alone. She wiped the tears out of her eyes trying to control herself and stop crying, but it didn't help. More tears just kept coming down.
Why do these nightmares keep coming?
She asked herself.
Is this my punishment for not helping my brother?
Is this my fate?
Well I have these dreams for the rest of my life?
` She didn't know.
Chiona looked through window at the rain. They slid down the window pain like her tears. She knew she would be up for most of the night. She could never fall asleep right after those dreams. Afraid she might have another one. Chiona lead her head on her arms. Would this ever end for her?
~*~*~*~
The next morning Chiona woke up, having only fallen asleep a few hours ago. She had cried herself to sleep. Sleeping in a sitting position all night, she felt stiff, her head hurt and her eyes were red and burning. They felt giddy. Chiona stood up slowly and stretched. She still felt really tried but she knew she had to get up.
She walked out of her room and into the hall, hearing her mother in the kitchen making breakfast. She went outside to get some water to clean her face. She splashed herself to try to wake up. It helped a little and just a little. At least her eyes didn't feel so giddy. She went back in house and into the kitchen. Chichi heard her come in.
"Good morning" She said without turning around.
"I don't know how good it is." Chiona mumbled.
Chichi looked at her and saw her face. "What happened to you?" She said looking worried. "It looks like you didn't sleep at all."
Chiona flopped down in a chair. "Hardly." She said leaning her cheek on the palm of her hand.
"Is it those dreams again?" Chiona nodded.
Chichi sighed "Those dreams have been hunting you for awhile now. I think it's because that's all you think about."
Chichi walked over and sat by her daughter. She put her hand on Chiona's. "Chiona we need to talk."
Chiona looked up at her. "About what?"
"You" she said looking concerned. "You need to get out more. You've been staying in the house too much. You're too young for this. You need to go out and enjoy yourself."
She said looking sadly "I mean you never even had a boyfriend and you 27 years old."
. It was true Chiona never had a boyfriend. Actually she never had a friend outside the her dad's friends.
"I know with all the stuff that's been happening you didn't have time. But now that it's over you need to start to live again. Your not getting any younger you know."
Chiona stared at her mother. She was right of course. She did need to get out of the house. But it was hard to start to live again. To try to forget. And she really wasn't getting any younger. Her mother was probably tired of her.
"Your right. I should get out more. But it's hard to start over."
"I know it is but you need to. Besides I do want some grandkids to brag about to Bulma." Chichi smiled.
Chiona shook her head. Typical of a mother.
Chichi started to speak again. "But I also want to you to be happy." Chiona smiled "Thanks mom." Chichi stood up and hugged her daughter. Chiona needed that so badly. She needed a hug from somebody. To know somebody cared and was there for her. They hugged for a while longer. Then Chichi let go.
"Now that we cleared that up. Let's eat Breakfast!!"
~*~*~*~
At Capsule corp. Trunks was getting ready for breakfast. He had been thinking about Chiona all night. Well until he fell asleep. He wondered was she thinking about him too.
Probably not.
. He went down stairs. He's mother was down there all ready starting to eat.
"Good morning Trunks" She said happily "Have a sleep well?"
Trunks shrugged "I guess"
He sat by has mother and took a bowl. They eat in silence for a few minutes.
"So what are you going to do today?" Bulma said breaking the silence.
Trunks looked up "I don't know. Probably stay in the house maybe train some.. Why?"
Bulma shook her head "When are you going to go out there and have some fun. All you've been going is staying it the house. Aren't you getting a little bored of it?"
Trunks blinked at her "Well I guess a little."
"You're 21 years olds and never had a girlfriend. Not one." Bulma said "Don't you want one?"
"Well.yea."
But the one I went doesn't seem to feel the same way.
"well a girl is not going to come and just fall and your lap ya know."
"Yea I know."
"Well what are you going to do about it?"
"I don't know."
"Look Trunks it's not like it would be hard for you to get a girlfriend" She winked at him. "I mean come on. You're my son. You of course have my genes. Girls would be falling all over you."
Trunks blushed a little. "Sure mom."
He wasn't no really paying attention. He knew what girl he wanted. Getting her was the hard part. If it was even possible. How could he do it? He needed a chance to be with her a lone for a while. Like spin a weekend together or something. That would be great. But where would they go to? Trunks take another bite of his food. He would figure out something if it was the last thing he'd do.
~*~*~*~
Trunks didn't know his chance was coming in the form of a week. He was lying on the couch watching TV. It was a boring day and nothing was really on. He hadn't heard from Chiona in a week. But for some reason he couldn't get the nerve to call her. He didn't know what to say to her.
Nothing really worth taking about anyway.
But he thought about her all week. He wondered if she was doing the same. Trunks started to day dream again. Day dream about being with her.
And going places like the movies, seeing her smile and laughing. Both of them being in pure bliss. And then he imagined kissing her again. Feeling her soft lips against his. Her parting her lips so he could make the kiss deeper. And then..
"Trunks!"
. His string of thought was broking by his mother calling him. "Yeah" He said sitting up.
His mom walked over to him with a big smile on her face "Guess what!"
"What?"
"I found a great deal on a vacation spot for a week. It's called Happy Days lounge. The Beaches out there are beautiful."
"Oh that's nice." He said mildly interested.
"Yup I'm going to take Chichi with me. This is my chance to get her out of the house and have some fun."
Then she looked at Trunks and smirked. "And this is your chance to go out and have some fun. You'll have the whole house to yourself. So have fun with it. Bring a girl over, have a party I don't care just clean up behind yourself. You don't have to do much, that's what the robots are for."
"This is a first. Your mom encouraging you to have parties." Trunks laughed.
"You need to. I've never saw a guy so young staying in the house all the time."
"There's a first for everything." He said with a smile.
Bulma ruffled his hair playfully. "You're a mess Trunks a real mess." She laughed. "Well I'm going to call Chichi now. We have week to get ready."
She walked out excitedly towards the phone. Trunks smiled to himself.
Maybe this week well be useful.
~*~*~*~
Chiona was sitting on the couch resting. She had pretty much been cleaning up all day and was really tried.
"We can really use one of those robots Bulma has." She said out loud to herself.
"Oh it wasn't that bad." Chichi said overhearing her.
"Uh huh" Chiona said closing her eyes. She hadn't got much sleep. Dreams came back last night. Her mother gave her chores to do to get her mind off of it. But all it did was make her even more tried. Chichi put her hands on her hips and shook her head. "You're one of the strongest people in the world and you complain about a few little chores."
If you call literally scrubbing from top to bottom, inside and out, going fishing for breakfast, lunch and dinner, doing all the laundry and then washing every single dish we have it the house a few little chores I don't want to even think about what a big one is.
She thought. Chichi heard Chiona mumble something of putting your child through heard labor but she ignored it. All of sudden the phone rung. Chichi went and picked it up.
"Hello" She said "Oh hi Bulma how are you?"
She opened her eyes half way when she heard Bulma name. She hadn't talk to them in a while. She didn't know why she just hadn't gone to see them. Or even call them. Even since that kiss everything seemed to have changed with them.
"What! Really?" She heard her mother say "That's great....Me..Well I don't know if I could go..well it goes seem nice....Well..Ok, ok I'll go, Bulma you don't have to yell." Her mother said a little annoyed.
Chiona sat up getting very interested about what her mother was talking about.
"Ok well I'll see you then." She hung up.
"What was that all about?"
"Well aren't we the nosy person." Chichi said jokingly "That was Bulma. She found some vacation spot and wants me to go."
"Oh how nice." Chiona said. Her mother needed to get out of the house.
"So are you going?"
"Well doesn't seem like I have much of a choice. You know how Bulma is." Chiona laughed.
"Yeah I know exactly how she is."
Bulma didn't take no for an answer very well. Even her mother knows that, and she was the hardest one to convince to do something she didn't want to do.
"Well that's great mom you need to get out." Chichi raised an eyebrow. "You think you're staying in the house? Oh no you're not, when I leave you're leaving with me." "But I can't go with you."
"You're not coming with me and Bulma, you're going to send the 2 weeks with Trunks." For some reason Chiona's heart started to beat really fast.
"T-two weeks with Trunks?" Chiona said out loud not really meaning too.
"Yeah. Why? You don't want to?"
Chiona sat up straight, her eyes getting big. "Oh no, no I do I do. I was just thinking out loud how nice it will be."
Liar.
"Yeah it should be nice. You haven't since him a while, so you have a nice time together. I don't want to leave you at home by yourself."
"Mom I'm 27 I think I could stay at home by yourself."
"I know that. But you don't want you to stay in the house all day. I want you to go out and have fun. And if you stay with Trunks you have someone to go out with and keep you company. It well be good for you!!"
Chiona laid back on the couch. She had a feeling these 2 weeks were going to be trouble. "Yeah great' she said.
Chapter 2 Dreaming of the past, "Chiona you stay here with Trunks and I'll go fight."
"But Gohan let me help you. You can't go it alone, you'll get kil-"
"You have to stay here with him. Just incase he wakes up. I'll be fine."
"But Gohan-"
"Just do it." He smiled at her.
"Fine" she said reluctantly.
"Thanks Chiona."
"You're not welcome." He laughed and ruffled her hair. She moved out of the way looking annoyed as usual.
"You know I don't like that."
"Sorry" He smiled sadly at her.
