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 5: Welcome to the tournament [/b]

"WOW!!!" Its a lot bigger than I anticipated." Isabel stated the pod squad began to walk around the tournament grounds. Both Michael and Liz were already in costume, Michael's hair now being blond with red streaks, leather jacket, blue t-shirt and blue combats (think future Trunks style). Liz on the other hand now had her hair tied up under a bandanna, and a long black clock, with a hood that she pulled up over her head. This way no-one could see her face. Underneath she still wore her blue jeans and red jumper, but it didn't matter, as you couldn't see them.

"So have you guys though about different names yet?" Maria asked. While Michael nodded, Liz shook her head. "So what's your new name then Michael?"

"Bikey Mikey. What ya think?" Everyone looked at him.

"Yea real nice Mikey... so what about you Liz thought of any names yet???" Maria asked giving Michael a funny look.

"Hmmm.... I dunno... maybe Leo... Leo Ama. What da thinks?"

"Nice." Everyone agreed.

"It's a lot like Liz, yet in a guy way!"

"Well duh Tess Leo is a guys name!" Tess just scowled at Maria. Liz felt a small body bump into the back of her. She turned around and saw a small girl, and an ice-cream cone flying towards the floor. Another guy behind the girl started shouting. Liz ignored him and caught the ice cream for the girl. By this time the girl had started to cry as she thought she'd lost her ice cream.

"Here you go, I caught it for you." Liz knelt down to the little girl and handed her the ice cream. Liz was careful enough to put on a guys voice first though.

"Thanks you mister. I better go find my grampa." The little girl began to skip away. 'It's funny. It's almost like I know her, but from where?' Liz could here a guy call out for someone and she swore she recognised the voice,

"Pan, Pan where are you?"

"Right here Grampa Goku." 'Grampa Goku... no it couldn't be!' Liz turned around and saw the little girl with a guy who didn't look much older than mid thirties, and although she didn't recognise him by looks, her soul recognised his. 'Daddy, is it you.' Before she could find out, she was being dragged away by Maria though the crowd and not before long he and the little girl, she assumed was called Pan had disappeared...

"Maria why did you pull me away?!?!?!?!"

"Chill chica. What crawled up your ya know?"

"I think... it doesn't matter."

"Hmmm... well tell me later ok? But anyway I totally saw the hottest guy in the universe and you've gotta come see him." Maria kept leading her along. Liz felt a pull at her heart. She knew that Maria was leading her straight to Trunks, and she wasn't ready for that.

"Maria?"

"Yea Liz."

"Did this totally hot guy have purple hair, and black combats and about 6ft 2 by any chance. Oh and a deepish voice?"

"Why yea how did you..." She thought about it for a moment, "it's Trunks isn't it. Typical I meet a cute guy other than your brother and he's already taken! Damn you girl!"

"My brother is it? Ha I knew it!"

"Opps... I wasn't supposed to say anything. We're kind of seeing each other now." Maria began to blush bright red.

"Maria, hey Maria." Trunks began to call out.

"Maria I have to go. Say... hello to Trunks for me. Love ya girl, but in future remember dream: purple hair!" She began to run off as fast as she could.

"Maria where'd your friend gone that I was gonna meet."

"Oh he had to leave Trunks."

"Oh never mind... hey I didn't tell you my name."

"I know my friend did. You've met before."

"We... we have?" Trunks had no idea what Maria was talking about. 'Maria I've heard that name before... Liz's friend is called Maria.... LIZ'S FRIEND IS CALLED MARIA!!!!"

"Yea Liz says hi!"

"Oh wow she's here, she's really here. I can't believe it!"

"Well you better! Any mister I have a bone to pick with you!"

"A what???"

"You told Liz is slipped her a sleeping tablet!!! Do you know how much trouble I was in? I mean all morning it was 'Maria I'm going to kill you' and 'Maria I'm never going to forgive you. But then I guess it did turn into 'Oh Trunks is the hottest guy on the face of the planet, and 'I bet he's better looking in real life Maria, but he's so cute already!'" Trunks began to blush.

"Would you like to meet Liz's family? I mean you could sit with them, as long as you don't point out who Liz is OK?"

"Ok, well let me go get Max, Tess and Isabel." They kept on chatting, whilst searching for Maria's friends. "Oh look its Michael! Michael over here!!!"

"Maria the hole point of going in disguise is so YOU would shout out my NAME!!!"

"Oh sorry. Anyway this is Trunks, Liz's boyfriend."

"Well were not really..." Michael interrupted Trunks.

"So your the guy in my sister's dreams huh?" He stared Trunks down. "I could take you. Maybe I'll get lucky and get to fight you first!" With that Michael walked off.

"Nice guy." Trunks commented sarcastically.

"Yea well Michael is well... Michael. I bet he'll be your brother in law one day."

"Yea how is Michael and Liz siblings exactly?"

"They were adopted my the same people. Michael is an alien too, so King Kai made sure he was put with Liz. Oh look there everyone is. Max, Tess, Isabel!!! Over here!!!" Maria began to wave her arms frantically. Trunks couldn't sense the tall girl or the guys power limits, but the small girl was openly showing a power level way above normal. Not near his own, but at about Krillin's level. 'Wow so I guess Antarian's have high levels too! Who'd have guessed?' "Guys this is Trunks, Trunks this is Max Isabel and Tess."

"Nice too meet you" Tess purred. 'God she looks kinda like a gerbil!'

Yea, uh nice to meet you too."

"Fighters please report to the stadium. I repeat fighters please report to the stadium!" The loud speaker bellowed out.

"I'll take you to my mom, then I gotta split!" It didn't take them long to find his family. Introductions where made, but of course Trunks introduced them as friends from school, and no one thought anything of it, apart from Goten.

"They don't go to our school!" Goten whispered as they made their way into the stadium.

"Yea I know that, but I can't tell you who they are, so don't ask me!"

"Ok but if there evil don't blame. The tall blond was hot, but the short one with curly hair looked like a gerbil!" They both laughed.

"Exactly what I thought!" They got up onto the stage. The announcer was up there along with his dad, Goku and Pan, who was skipping around her Grampa and his dad. Majain Buu just kept laughing, and all the girls were drooling over a blond guy and his long haired friend. To Trunks' left there was a guy wearing a bikers hat.

"Trunks don't look, but that guy's been staring at us!"

"Yea I know, and its creepy!"

"Excuse me." He heard a slightly feminine voice talking to him, and he could tell that the person was trying to put on a mans voice. "Can we get past?" He turned to look at the person, but he couldn't see their face as a cloak covered it. Next to the person was Michael. Which to Trunks meant one thing.

"Of course you can." But before the person past he leant over and whispered, "Liz." The person's step faltered, letting him know that it was really she.

"Trunks she whispered back." And she and Michael quickly moved away. Goten missed the exchange, but Michael didn't.

"Be careful Liz, I don't want you getting hurt."

"Mikey I'm more worried about you getting hurt!"

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Tenka'ichi Budokai. We are now ready to draw numbers for the matches. First up is Goten!"

"Oh that's me." Goten went up and pulled out the number 4.

"Number 4 ladies and gentlemen. Next up Trunks, the former junior world champion. How you been doing Trunks?"

"Good thanks!" Girls starting screaming out his name, and Trunks blushed. 'Man I seem to be blushing a lot these days!' He pulled out the number 5

"Number five! Next Wild Tiger!" Wild Tiger pulled out the number 2.

"Number two. Next Goku, a former world champion. You staying for the whole tournament this time, coz it just hasn't been the same with out you."

"I sure am!" He pulled out a number 3.

"Number three! Next Vegeta!"

"Man how did I get stuck fighting my dad?"

"You should have trained harder then shouldn't you!"

"Number six. Next Bikey Mickey!"

"Well now I feel better! You get to fight your dad do!"

"Great!" Trunks replied frustrated! He was going to look like a fool in front of Liz!

"Number nine!" The rest was called out. Pan was matched up against Wild Tiger. Leo Ama (Liz) was matched up against Majain Buu.

"The judges need a few moments to prepare, so you may go anywhere in the building to prepare. And good luck fighters!"

"Come Mikey I'm starving, lets go eat." Liz practically dragged Michael off the stage, without to stopping to look at Trunks.

"So Trunks what sorta name is 'Bikey Mickey'? I think that he might be the gay one!"

"Well you've met his girlfriend. It was that Maria chick!"

"Ahhh..."

"Come lets wish pan good luck. She's gonna be fighting Goku after Wild Tiger."

"Thanks for that vote of confidence."

"You know that Goku is gonna whip you, so why bother denying it?"

"Fine whatever... but after our matches get we please eat? I'm starved.""Your always starving Goten!"
