Chapter 6: SILENCE
"Good Morning Bulma." Dr. Tashii said. Bulma smiled. "Morning Lena, I'm so glad you could make it." Bulma said smiling. A shy looking girl stepped in the room and smiled. "Bulma, I'd like you to meet Isis Lei. She's an apprentice physical therapist, and I was wondering if she could watch the way I work, and maybe even try it," Lena said. (A/N: Her name is Dr. Lena Tashii). Bulma smiled. "Of course," she said. "Ok, well, thank you so much, now lead the way to Trunks." She said. Bulma nodded. Dr. Tashii was a long time friend of Bulma's so they all knew her. Bulma opened the door to Trunks' room and they were greeted by him on his bed looking around nervously. "Hello Trunks." Lena said smiling. "Hey Dr. Tashii." He said. "Oh, Trunks, I want you to meet Isis Lei, she's an apprentice." She said putting her bag down. Trunks looked at Isis and smiled. "Do I know you?" he asked. She smiled. "I don't think so," she said. He smiled back mesmerized by her beauty. Long, black flowing hair, a fair face with beautiful features, a perfect nose, a beautifully shaped mouth, her figure was slim but strong, and her eyes. They were a startling blue-green. "Well, uh, nice to meet you…" he said. She nodded. "The same here." She said. "Any way, well, I'll let you get to work…" Bulma said. Lena nodded. "I'll call you in a while Bulma." She said.
Lena smiled at Trunks then went over to him. "How do you feel hon?" she asked. He looked at her. "Well, much better than a few nights ago, but I can live." He said with a grin. "Ok, that's good…" she said. "Let's get started on your therapy then." She said. He nodded and managed a smile. "This might hurt a bit, you'll be walking for the first time in a while, I know you use the wheel chair to go where ever, but you're gonna feel some pain in your legs. Isis, you're gonna help. We're gonna hold his hands and hoist him up slowly ok?" she said. Isis nodded and went over to Trunks. She took his hand and he smiled. 'This isn't gonna be that bad.' He thought.

Destiny? She sighs. Is this her fate? To sit here and cry? She does not even know herself. Should she tell someone else? Her secret? She gets up and dries her eyes. She grabs her towel and heads for the shower. She would first think. Then, she would act…

"Panny!" Gohan shouted. Pan raced down stairs. She ran smack into her father. "Yea dad?" she panted out. He looked at her and smiled. "What dad?" she asked again. "Um, oh, breakfast is ready," he said. "Oh, thanks," she said. "I'm going for a run." She said. He nodded. "Well, never mind…" he said walking away. "Dad?" she said. He turned around and looked at her. "Yes?" he asked. "Oh, um, never mind…" she said. He turned back around and went into the kitchen. She sighed and went to the front door. She was about to open the door when someone else opened it. She was faced with Goten. "Oh, hey uncle Goten," she said smiling. "I can tell someone is happy." He said. She smiled. "Well, I talked with dad yesterday, we're still a bit edgy, but we're speaking now…" she said. He nodded. "That's good." He said. "Taking a walk?" he asked. "A run is more like it, then I might visit Trunks later…" she said. "Oh." He said. "Well, I'm going to have some food now, you better hurry." He said. She laughed. "I will." She said. He went inside and closed the door. She sighed and began her run.

"Well Trunks, you're doing fine, you made a great effort today, and I can see that you really want to walk." Lena said. He nodded and smiled despite the pain in his legs. "Well, I'll be downstairs ok?" she said. Isis came in the room with a cup of juice. "Oh, here's your drink. Isis, can you just bring my bag downstairs? I need to speak to is mother about the treatments." She said. Isis nodded. Lena left. "So how do you feel?" she asked sitting on the chair next to the bed. She gave him the juice. "I hurt." He said grinning. She laughed. "It's ok, I know how you feel." She said. "You do?" he asked. "Well, yeah, I was in an accident a few years ago, I had to take therapy the same way. It's one of the reasons I'm in this, I want to help people get through their pain." She said. "Oh," he said. She smiled. "But any way, it was a-" "Will you be coming back?" he asked. She looked at him. "I don't know." She said. They leaned over and their lips touched. She pulled back two seconds later and blushed. "I'm sorry-" "It's ok." She said getting up. She took Lena's bag and headed for the door. "Well, will you?" he asked. She looked away. "I don't know," she said. "Please come back, I'd like to take you to dinner when I can walk again." He said. "I'd love to, but, I have a date soon, and if I like the person, I might go out with him." She said. "Well, can I at least know his name?" he asked. "So you can kill him?" she asked jokingly. He said nothing. "Oh all right…his name is…Son Goten, I met him the other day at the fair," she said. He sat shocked. "Goten?" he asked. She nodded. He pointed to a picture on the chest of drawers. "That Goten?" he asked in a bare whisper. She looked at the picture and nodded. "You know him?" she asked. He nodded. "He's my best friend…" he said. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I'll see you…" she said leaving. "Isis!" he said, but he got no answer, but silence.
