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!
The songa are break down, and soon (I wrote em, writing songs is a little hobbie of mine...). The parts in () are people singing on back up/ Michael in the chorus
[b]Part 16: Critical break down. [/b]
[i]2 months after the birthday party [/i]
"One... two... one two three four." Michael hit his drum sticks together. Max and Goten began on the bass, Trunks and Isabel started on their electric guitars. Maria began to sing with Max and Goten singing back up.
"This is my mistake (No longer I am feeling)
Screaming into abyss (now that I am falling)
Am I going insane? (or is this just life?)
I can run away (but I can't hide)"
Everyone started getting in to it, and Maria began to bob her head to the tune. Liz watched on as everyone played their own part in the song. Michael began to sing with Maria in the chorus.
"(Break down) everything inside,
(Stand up) before you run and hide,
(Shut down) systems of hate
(Block off) before you find your fate."
Liz was pretty happy with the way the song was turning out. She had written it a while ago, but hadn't shown anyone. Unfortunately for her, Maria had gone rummaging through her stuff and found a ton of songs that Liz had written. So before Liz could stop her she had written the music to go with it, and now everyone played in their new band, 'Critical Break Down'.
"This is my beginning (but its still my end)
Calling to the heavens (for my thoughts to bend)
Going round in circles (before I find the line)
I can fly away (but I'll still fall)
(Break down) everything inside,
(Stand up) before you run and hide,
(Shut down) systems of hate
(Block off) before you find your fate."
Liz smiled at Trunks, and gave a small wave and he smiled in return. Liz thought back to when Maria started the band. Of course Maria asked her to join the band, but for personal reasons she declined. She hadn't really sang or played much since Alex. The guitar Michael gave her was the first she had played in 3 years. Trunks began his solo,
"Break down now,
Into this night,
Run away before this terror,
Gives you a fright,
This heartbreak pain,
Hides you from the light,
Shut down these brain cells,
Before I squeeze them tight,
Pull away now,
Before you lose your sight.
(Break down) everything inside,
(Stand up) before you run and hide,
(Shut down) systems of hate
(Block off) before you find your fate.
(Break down) everything inside,
(Stand up) before you run and hide,
(Shut down) systems of hate
(Block off) before you find your fate.
(Break down) before I put you there..."
"Ladies and gentlemen that's a rap!" Maria called out to everyone. They had been rehearsing for about 2 hours now, and Liz was pretty sure everyone's legs, apart from Michael, were aching from standing for so long. Everyone took a seat on the chairs in Max and Isabel's basement.
"So Liz what did you think?" Trunks asked when he sat down next to Liz.
"Well... Maria was great, and Michael's voice was really strong. Max gave a good backup."
"Yea, so what about me?"
"There is just so much to say." She stopped.
"Go on, tell me." He was grinning so hard, Liz thought his smile might fall off. 'I could have some fun with this!'
"It didn't do justice to the song." His grin fell away from his face.
"WHAT??? I gave it my all. You told me it was your best song, and so I tried really hard!!!!" He looked like he was about to panic.
"Hold it right there. I was kidding. I thought that it was the best I had ever heard you sing." She leaned over to whispered in his ear. "Well almost your best. The time when you got out of the shower was still the best!" Trunks blushed instantly.
"Stop saying dirty thing in his ear Liz. Or I might have to beat him up!" Michael warned Liz.
"Most defiantly Liz. Trunks behave." Goten added.
"Stop ganging up on me, its Liz who's whispering not me." Trunks tried to defend himself, but it was no use.
"If I can't defend my little sister, my life loses its meaning." Goten explained to Trunks.
"How do you know I'm your little sister? I could be your older sister."
"Well see I asked mom. I was born 10 minutes before you making me older, so there!" Goten told her, looking very proud. Liz just poked her tongue out at him.
"So what's everyone doing later?" Isabel asked. Everyone, expect Liz, agreed to meet up at the crashdown.
"What you doing then Liz?" Trunks asked.
"I'm doing a favour for a friend."
"Ok Liz." He gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Do want a lift home then?"
"Sure honey. Let me get my bag."
[i]Few hours later... [/i]
Trunks was at the bottom of the ladder that lead up to Liz's balcony. Strands of an acoustic guitar could be heard floating down. After a moment he could hear Liz's voice and too him it sounded like an angel,
"Shine down on me,
Like those stars in my sky,
Let me feel that light,
Upon my face.
Sing so lightly,
From those heavens above,
Let me hear that sweet song,
Within my mind.
Sleep forever,
Like those Angels do,
One day I'll see you,
Real soon."
By the time Trunks got the nerve to climb the ladder Liz had finished singing. When his head poked over the top, he could clearly see that Liz had a guitar that looked like it was getting on a bit in years.
"Hey." Trunks got her attention and she gave a small smile. "I thought you were doing a favour for a friend."
"I am. This guitar was Alex's. Before that it was his mom's, but she passed away when he was little. This was the first guitar he learned on, and he taught me on this guitar. When he died, his dad gave this to me. Once I made a promise to him that I would never stop playing, but I did. I think its time I start again. Plus Maria can't really write songs. The last one she wrote was about cats, and went something like 'Ohhh, these cats are so nice, i'll never thinks twice, Ohhh my cat ate a ton of mice!' It was funny."
"I can see. Well I'm glad you started again. Your voice is beautiful."
"Well, not really. Rusty maybe. Just don't tell Ria I started again, or I'll be in that band just like that!" She clicked her fingers to prove a point. She gazed up at the stars. "I just hope Alex knows how much its taken for me to get here now."
"I'm sure he does. But can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Why didn't you wish them back with the dragonballs?"
"Because it disrupted what was meant to be. Unless they are needed, or didn't disrupt the order of things, they couldn't be wished back. Shenron said that when the time was right, he would return, but not before. I guess that his time is coming soon."
"I guess that there is a reason for everything."
"I know that there is Trunks. I just hope that it turns out all right in the end. But for now, we will be together in music
