Please note that I post under Angelic on the Roswellfanatics board, so I didn't steal this!

Title: What once was lost...

Disclaimer: Don't own Roswell don't own dragonball Z. However if I could make Trunks mine forever I soooo would!

Rating: Pg :13 for now, but later it will be NC:17 and/or R

Couples: Liz/Trunks

Summary: Liz Parker knows about aliens, she knows that she isn't with her real parents; she even knows she is stronger then anyone else she knows. But soon she finds that fate has a funny way of finding her!!!

Authors note: The beginning may seem similar to family ties (another dbz fic that rocks), but it takes a different direction. The prologue is set between the cell saga and the sayiaman saga; coz Liz is Goten's twin. The bulk of the story is set right at the end of dbz when they're at the Tenka'ichi Budokai (world marshal arts tournament). However there is no Uub at the tournament. Amarante is Liz, and it means the ever-blossoming flower. Also there is no Alex... I know I know that's evil of me, but just think of Goten as Alex, they both hold a kind of innocence, but Goten is way more of a ladies man!

[b]Part 4: Sleepless night [/b]

[i]how can you see into my eyes like open doors

leading you down into my core

where i've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold

until you find it there and lead it back home wake me up inside

wake me up inside

call my name and save me from the dark

bid my blood to run

before i come undone

save me from the nothing i've become[/i]

"Maria please let me drive now, I don't want to go to sleep!" For the past hour Liz and Maria had be arguing about who was going to drive through the night. Maria wanted Liz to go see Trunks, when Liz wanted to avoid him. The fact that she'd been having dream for her enter life, and only just found out that Trunks was real was weird. The fact that they had been sharing dreams and that Trunks knows more about her, then even Liz knew about herself was... well... creepy!

"Liz you really should go talk with him you know. Try to find out everything that you can before tomorrow!"

"Maria I want to fight first before I find out anything OK?"

But why Liz? I mean isn't finding out who you are more important?"

"Maybe it is. But I need to prove to myself first that I have gotten this far by myself. I want to fight without attachments, without emotions. With those clouding my vision I can't reach my potential. Plus if I have to fight any of my family or even Trunks I don't want them to hold back just because I am who I am. That's why my block is up, and I'm going in disguise. I mean Trunks will probably know who I am, but I hope he doesn't right away!"

[i]now that i know what i'm without

you can't just leave me

breathe into me and make me real

bring me to life[/i]

"Liz?"

"Yea Maria."

"You sound like a warrior going into war. But this isn't war Liz. This is your life."

"The only reason I was in Roswell was because of war, so I'm treating it so. King Kai told me about the links between dimensions, he told me to train every day or the world is doomed. I thought that I had lost my chance to fight when Evil Buu came, but it wasn't to be. I keep my innocence for as long as I can, because I know when the time is right, I wont be able to hold on to what I have. This is war Maria, whether we know it to be so or not. But I'm not running and I'm not hiding. I just need time to prepare, and if that means fighting in the tournament first, then let it be so Maria. I thought I had more time, I need more time, but some other force is pulling me in, and I can't fight it. So yes it is my life, but I don't think I control what my life is! I also think Trunks is too be destined for me as well, and I wanna scream to the sky that it is my life, and I control is, but from all that has happened to us in the last 3 years you've gotta know that none of us control our lives. Not even you Maria. And my war began the moment that we lost Alex. Evil has made its move, and now so must we. Alex, Kyle and Jim must be avenged for what Nicholas did. He may too be gone now, but he's coming back with others as soon as the link has gone. So if I don't want to talk to Trunks then I'm not going to talk to Trunks!"

[i]wake me up inside

wake me up inside

call my name and save me from the dark

bid my blood to run

before i come undone

save me from the nothing i've become

bring me to life[/i]

"Nice speech Liz!"

"Huh, Trunks... what... how are you here???"

"You fell asleep obviously. So you don't want to talk me huh? Well that's nice."

"I uh... its none of your business if I talk to you any way. I'm gonna see you tomorrow, so I'm gonna leave now!"

"You can't until morning. Maria slipped you a sleeping tablet so you would sleep."

"I'm gonna kill her. I swear she has no business if I'm gonna talk to you or not." Liz began to sulk and she sat down. Before her a lake emerged. "Is that your dream or mine Trunks?"

"Mine. Goku fishes here. So why did you want to talk to me?"

"Dad fishes here huh? It's nice. Oh and tomorrow I'm entering in a disguise, so um... if you know it's me, don't tell everyone who I am. Please!"

"I don't know. I mean you didn't want to talk to me. You even had an entire speech too!" He joked. However he could see that what he had said pissed him off.

[i]frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead[/i]

"Look Trunks it's my life. Destiny screwed up everyone's life that I love. I lost a brother, a friend, and a father all in one day because of someone's destiny. Remember that time I didn't sleep for nearly a month, but I didn't tell you why. Well it has something to do with that, and quite frankly this destiny that I..." She paused for a moment, "that we have... it can be shoved where the sun don't shine for all I care right now ok? So are you going to keep me secrete or not? Because I'll just completely block you out of my head, and I can do it now I know that you're real. I've been alone for so long now, I don't mind turning around and going back to Roswell" 'Why did I tell him where I live???'

[i] all this time i can't believe i couldn't see

kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

i've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

got to open my eyes to everything

without a thought without a voice without a soul

don't let me die here

there must be something more[/i]

"I'm sorry Ok? I'm not allowed to say anything at first any way, thanks to King Kai. But Liz, your not alone any more, and you have never really been alone. Plus I know where you live now. Wow alien capital of the world, freaky!"

"Thank you Trunks. And if you think that Roswell is freaky, well I live in a cafe called the Crashdown, which is a tourist trap."

"Cute, but we're waking up now Liz. I'll see you soon."

"Bye Trunks." Trunks didn't reply. By the time he told her that he loved her she was already gone.

[i]Bring me to life [/i]

"Trunks its time to wake up."

"Morning mom. What time is it?"

"Half 6." Bulma replied and sat on the end of his bed. "I take it you where with Amarante." He nodded and gave a small smile.

"I'll get to see her for real in a few hours. I can't wait. I need to shower, shave and find my black combats. She likes those. But I'm gonna wear my black capsule shirt." He started to ramble of what he needed to get done, before he saw Liz later.

"You really like her don't you Trunks. But I wouldn't worry about smelling fresh, coz you probably wont see her till after you've fort and if your anything like your father your be all hot and sweaty."

"Yea that's true..." He thought about it for a moment. "Hey maybe dad won't make me fight." Bulma looked at him.

"Your father won't make you fight only if the world was ending again, and even then it'll be difficult to get out of it. But hey if she likes the combats work with that! I think your father looks good in tight leather..."

"[b]MOM[/b]!!!!!"
