Ok, be nice when you review this because it's the first I've ever posted on here. Oh, and don't flame me about our beloved Trunks being paired with someone other than Pan. Actually, that brings me to my next note. *Ahem* None of the DBZ characters belong to me, they belong to Akira Toriyama. So please don't sue me because I have nothing that you want. J

Oh and here's my story… I know this isn't quite accurate, but bear with me.

Trunks-25

Goten-24

Bra-20

Pan-18

And I'm claiming that Goku is alive.

It was raining and dark. Not that it was all that late, but a fairly violent storm was ripping through the Capsule Corps property. Trunks stared out the window, not really impressed by the weather, just lost in thought. He had been training with Goten a three days ago, when something had disturbed him, allowing Goten to hit him squarely in the jaw………

(Flashback)

Goten withdrew his fist and prepared to strike again, but stopped when he noticed his friend dumbfounded and blank faced. "Um, Trunks? You in there?" Trunks heard what Goten had said, but it was in the back of his mind, far away somehow, it was an echo. What had distracted him was the presence of some approaching energy, not a familiar one and it seemed far away. Trunks noticed that there was something strange about his sensing of this. It seemed to be alone, and also as if it was trying to keep from being detected. Trunks tried to focus on it, get a further understanding of it, but suddenly it was gone. And Goten's repetitive nagging drew him back. "TRUNKS!" He saw a fist flying towards him from the side. Trunks spun, caught it and flipped Goten over him and onto his back. Trunks heard Goten land on his feet and turned to meet him, but he was gone. Goten kicked Trunks in the back and floored him. Goten placed a triumphant foot squarely between Trunks's shoulders. "Where were you just now?" he inquired. Trunks threw Goten off him indicating he was finished. Goten turned off the gravity, and found Trunks had left already. Once the two were settled outside, Trunks spoke.

"You didn't feel it did you?"

"Feel what?"

"It was like something was coming towards us."

"Like what?"

"…How should I know." Trunks smiled to end it.

(End flashback)

Trunks still didn't know what it was, but it came again yesterday. He had been sitting in his office, and had dozed off. He had seen something, it was an outline of a person running towards him. He didn't recognize it; even the voice was indistinguishable as far as revealing the sex of the being went. But it had bothered him, he heard the person crying as they ran. It got closer and closer to him, the tears were obviously intense. As it rushed past him, and through him, a wave of energy went over him and then it was gone. Whoever this was, was extremely powerful. Their ki was overwhelming. Trunks had woken up after that.

Today he had been spared any disturbances by this thing. But Trunks couldn't help being curious about their identity. He was snapped out of his trance by an extremely loud crack. A tree had crashed to the ground, hitting the gravity machine. Suddenly Trunks heard his mother scream, "VEGETA!!" And she ran to the door. Trunks went after her and caught her shoulder.

"No mom, I'll go, I'm sure he's fine."

"But Trunks, there could still be active electricity out there!"

"Don't worry," he gave her a dashing smile (*swoon*) "I won't get hurt!" He opened the door and went to the gravity machine. "Father?" He pulled away a branch that covered the door. When he got no answer he continued to pull away branches and called again. A yellow light showed from behind what was left of the door and Trunks knew to step back as his father blasted through the twisted metal. Suddenly Vegeta appeared through the hole he had created and stared at Trunks.

"What the hell are YOU looking at brat?" Before he could answer Bulma burst out the door with a raincoat on, the hood pulled up.

"VEGETA! That's enough attitude, I mean, Trunks came out here to get you out of a mess that you were too stupid to avoid."

"Ha! Like I need help from anyone." He brushed past her in the pouring rain and Bulma crossed her arms.

"Oh really, I noticed your gravity machine was smashed," Vegeta didn't acknowledge her, so she continued, "You gonna fix it?" He turned to glare at her. Bulma stood proudly holding her ground and Trunks concealed a smile. He began stalking towards her and thunder rolled across the sky.

"Listen to me woman, you have to fix that or I'll……" Bulma closed the distancebetween them andput her face right in front of his.

"Or you'll what?" Vegeta mumbled something and turned for the house. Bulma smiled. "Come on Trunks, this storm isn't exactly friendly." Lightening broke the sky and Trunks stepped forward when suddenly an image flooded his head………

It was the being again, running towards him again, crying, but this time their figure was more defined. It was a girl. She got closer and closer until Trunks was, again, overwhelmed by her energy, and she went through him. "TRUNKS!!!"

"Huh?"he snapped out of his trance.

"Well I just called you like six times and didn't get an answer. You alright?"

"Yeah mom,I'm fine its just……. Where's Bra?"

"Ummm, in her room, why?"

"I just need to ask her something that's all" The rain began to fall harder

"Well lets go inside it's stupid for us to just stand out here in the rain." Trunks smiled and they walked up to the house.
