Vegeta was already asleep but Bulma was still awake. It was the first time
Vegeta told her that he loved her. Of course she knew that he loved her but
he never said it out loud. She looked at her sleeping husband. He was
dreaming again, she could see it by the way his head moved. For a minute
she wanted to wake him up but let him sleep.
~ "Why did you kill my brother?"
~ "Was he your brother?! Why didn't you say so?"
~ "It wasn't important, we had to go to this mission."
~ "I killed your brother."
~ "So?"
Bulma shook Vegeta up and he woke up. He was moving so much in his sleep that it had to be some nightmare and she had decided to wake him after all.
"Honey, what did you dream about?"
"Don't call me honey. I dreamed that she didn't care about losing her brother. I remember it in the exact opposite way, she hated me for killing her brother."
"Your mind is probably mixing things up, like I said before."
"What if this is the true version?"
"Then why did you let her die on that planet?"
"I honestly don't know."
Someone knocked on the door. Vegeta and Bulma looked at each other. Was Janet coming to their room? Trunks wouldn't knock, he would just barge in.
"Uhm. It's me, Gohan.. Can I come in?"
"Gohan?!" Vegeta snarled. "Have you any idea what time it is? Normal people are sleeping right now."
"Wait a sec." Bulma said. She picked up her t-shirt from the ground and went to the door. She opened it for Gohan.
"I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of the night but there's something wrong with Trunks. I can't exactly tell what it is. He's dreaming right now but I've never seen him dreaming like this. I watched him sleep maybe hundreds of times but this time I'm having the feeling there's something wrong."
Bulma looked at Vegeta and turned back to Gohan.
"I'll be there in a minute. Could you wait here for a minute?"
She closed the door again and Vegeta got up as well. The look in his eyes spoke volumes. Never in her life had Bulma seen Vegeta looking so desperate. He had the look in his eyes of a man who gave up all hope. If only he could fight the enemy, if only he could see her. He was ready to fight, willing to give it everything he had but that was just impossible. This uncertainty made him go crazy. He got dressed and went to Trunks' room, together with Bulma.
The small boy was in his bed, breathing heavily. He seemed to have cried, his cheeks were wet. The sweat was beading on his forehead. He was talking in his sleep as well but neither of them could hear what he said. Bulma had to admit as well that she never saw Trunks like this before.
"Let's wake him."
"No, let him sleep. He'll wake up soon." Vegeta said. "Nothing is as frustrating as being woken just before the end of a dream. Bulma, go back to bed. I'll stay here."
"I'm not going alone."
"Go, she won't harm you now."
"And how the hell do you know? It looks like you. I'm sorry."
"It looks like what?"
"Keep your voice down."
"Go back to our room. We'll talk about this."
Trunks opened his eyes and was surprised to see his parents. He was glad to see them, he had had a horrible nightmare.
"Mom, what does it mean to be condemned to the stake?"
Bulma became very pale and ran to the bathroom to throw up. This was just impossible; how could Trunks know what Janet told her? Vegeta went after his wife and locked the door of the bathroom.
"Alright, I don't want Gohan or Trunks to hear this. What were you implying half a minute ago?"
"Give me a break, will you."
"No, I won't. What were you trying to say?"
"It looks like you two still have some bond. Maybe."
"What?! A bond? Janet and me? I hate that bitch, I'm trying to kill her and you say that we have a bond! That's ridiculous."
"She was your first girl after all."
"So? I don't give a shit about her. It's in the past, I even forgot about her! How could you think that we still have something going on?"
"No, that wasn't what I meant. I don't think you have an affair with her but I have the feeling that you know how her mind works. Maybe you can't sense her but I think that you know where she is right now."
"This is bizarre, how could I know where she is?"
"Just try real hard. If you'd excuse me, I'm going to comfort Trunks, something that you forgot about."
