Loren sat on the grass and stared up at the sky. She wished she
were up there. She didn't want to be on the surface any more.
"I'm sorry," Trunks said as he sat beside her. "Father is very
opinionated."
"He has every right to be that way. I don't belong here."
"I don't mind you being here."
"You're just being nice."
Trunks smiled and she turned away from him. He took her hand and she
looked at him.
"You know, talking about the past helps. My own past was a
nightmare."
"It couldn't have been as bad as mine."
"How do you know? Tell me what happened between you and Father and
I'll tell you about my past."
"All I wanted to do was stop a planet's destruction. Your father was
the one chosen for that destruction. The people of that world were
peaceful. They had done nothing to justify destruction. He attempted
to kill me and I guess I...I hit him pretty hard. I didn't mean
to..."
"I see. Father doesn't do well with defeat, does he? So he's been
carrying these feelings for a long time now. I bet being a girl
didn't help his view of you, either."
"I...I thought I had killed him. Then I got home and saw the
destruction of Namek...well, that didn't happen at the same time but
still..."
"So you thought everything was connected and you tried to distance
yourself from others. Now you're here..."
"I'm here and the people that I thought were gone forever are here
too. They came back and things are worse than ever."
"You need to calm down. It's not as bad as you think."
"How can it not be as bad as I think? This world is going to be
destroyed just like the others."
"Not if we don't allow it."
She looked thoughtful for a moment then leaned back against a tree.
"I suppose..."
"Let me tell you something. From the future I cane from, everything
was destroyed. My family, the heroes you see now...even my best
friend. I was forced to live my life, each day a survival game. It
wasn't until I got severely injured that I listened to my mother and
came to the past to change things. You can always change the outcome
of things."
