Chapter 21:A Whole New Beginning
Trunks Vegeta Briefs stared on as the little girl ran off to play with her friends.Finally,the Androids were gone.He had even stopped Cell from going to the past.As he looked around at the towering buildings of West Capital City,a smile traced his lips.With their technology,the great city had been re-built in less than a day.
'The nightmare's over....Finally,we have peace,'Trunks thought,slowly walking toward the dome building with 'Capsule Corp.' written on it.
He stopped at the door,feeling strange.He looked around with a confused expression,feeling like he should be in a place far from where he was.With a shrug,the Saiyan opened the door and walked in.He was met with a hug from his blue haired mother.
"So,Trunks....Tell me,who was that guy that busted in here?"Bulma asked.
"That was another Android,number twenty-one.We called him Cell in the other timeline.I've somehow separated the timeline into three.One where the Androids are already dead,this one,and another where Cell killed me and got my time machine.But here,I'm too strong for him to kill,"Trunks replied.
Bulma grinned,a glint in her blue eyes,"Aww....My Trunksie-wunksie is all grown up!"
"MOTHER!!"Trunks exclaimed,turning red slightly.
Any of his complaints were stopped when Bulma's eyes clouded with tears.She grabbed her son in another embrace,tighter this time.Trunks could feel her tears dropping onto the back of his shirt.
"Trunks....I'm so proud of you....You're more like your father than either of you would admit...."the blue haired genius trailed off.
Trunks was speechless for a moment,then smiled and returned her hug,"I know mom.......You look like you've been up all night...Why don't you go lay down somewhere?I'll bring you something to eat."
Bulma pulled away and wiped her tears away,chuckling slightly,"Do I have bags under my eyes?Now that the Androids are gone,I can get back to my beauty supplies!"
Her son laugh with her as she made her way out of the room.Trunks turned around toward the fridge and opened the door,looking through it with slight distaste.Most of the stuff had things growing on it.Once he found something that might be safe,an egg,he grabbed it and went to work.
Bulma sat down on the couch and rubbed her temples.The past few months had been rough on the aging woman.Her son had been in the past fighting what was possibly the biggest threat ever known,the Androids had been on the rampage,and worst of all,she couldn't do a thing about any of it!
'I'm too old for all this worrying,'she thought with a silent laugh before laying down and closing her eyes.
"Mother,how do you like your egg--"Trunks stopped when he heard his mother's slight snoring.
A normal person wouldn't have been able to hear her,but Trunks could due to his sensitive hearing.With a smile,Trunks nodded.
"All right then.Sleep well,mom,"he whispered.
As he turned around,his eyes widened.The pan he had placed the egg in was on fire.Faster than a human's eyes could see,Trunks managed to fill a cup with water and put the fire out.He sighed and shook his head.
"I wasn't meant to cook...."

Ray leaned against a small building,watching the people of Spyroton walk back and forth.A few cast him glares,which only made him smirk at them.
'They all take what they have for granted....I've heard so many complaints about trivial things,that it makes me feel sick.At least they have all those things to complain about....What do I have?Nothing.Ever since she left....I've had...nothing,'he thought bitterly,'If only I could find a way to fulfill my promise.Then....Then I might actually be happy.'
*~Then go for it.~*
Ray looked around for the source of the voice,"Who's there!?Show yourself!!"
The people on the street looked at him strangely,thinking the teenager had finally lost his mind.
*~You don't know me yet,but I'm a close friend of yours.But that doesn't matter.What matters is that you keep your promise to Sarah.~*
"But....she's on a different continent.How can I get to her when I don't even have any money?"
*~I can teach you.But you have to trust me.And you have to trust the person you dislike the most.With his help,you'll easily make it to Sarah in no time.~*
"The person I dislike the most?"Ray thought out loud,"Zapland?Him helping me!?You must be insane!"
*~I'm serious.You two are more closely RELATED than you realize.One day,you'll learn everything about what I mean.But right now,it's important that you find Zapland and listen to everything I tell you,got it?~*
Trusting this mysterious voice for some reason,Ray nodded,"Fine.But this better make sense.I don't like it when people play with my feelings about promises."

Trunks walked up the stairs,the boards creaking with each step he took.Despite being from what was possibly the richest family in the world,the Androids made it seem like they were the poorest.No one dared to rebuild their houses with the Androids around.Doing so would only bring more attacks from the evil twins.
"But now...."Trunks trailed off,looking out the window of his room,"The Androids are gone.Passed like a nightmare.No one has to live in fear anymore!"
With a long look at his room,which hadn't been touched in over two months,Trunks turned around and walked back down stairs.He glanced toward his mother,who was still sleeping peacefully,and smiled again.
"I'm getting used to smiling now.It does feel odd,though,"he stated.
He made his way to a chair as quietly as possible,trying not to wake his mother.Experience taught him that when she was asleep,it was best to not disturb her.His mother was famous to her friends for her temper at times.But despite her occasional mood swings,everyone knew she was not only the most famous woman on the planet,but also one of the kindest if she trusted you.
'It feels good to be home again,'Trunks thought,'But why do I feel like something's missing?Like I should be with someone....?It feels like a part of me is missing.Oh well,best not to think about it.'
With that,Trunks drifted into his first peaceful sleep since he heard the word 'Androids'.
