Hi peeps! Yay another chapter!! And there's still more to come (
Hope u enjoy it!! ^^
Chapter 4
"Spin me! Spin me!! Wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!"
Trunks was having a great time on the merry-go-round. As he spun round looking like a tornado, Tika walked to Vegeta who was by the gate.
"What's up?"
"Still thinking."
"I know, before we go back, why don't we head to the shops so that you can buy Bulma and Trunks something."
"Why?"
"Well, to let them know you care about them?"
Vegeta 'humph'ed.
"Oh come on, only something small. You could give ... I dunno, Trunks a toy and uh, give Bulma a bouquet of flowers or something."
"Why bother? Then she'll expect more coming."
"You heard me and Bulma talking right?"
"... I don't love her."
"So ... what? You're saying to me that Trunks was a mistake? Vegeta that is awful!"
"Tika, just shut up, alright!" Vegeta yelled. Tika looked at him sternly, but Vegeta turned away and sat down by a bench. Tika walked over to him and sat down.
"I'm only trying to help."
"Yeah, well help us by not helping us."
They forgot about Trunks. He had stopped spinning and heard the whole conversation. He looked pretty upset.
"I'm a mistake ...?" He whispered. "I'm a mistake. I'm not supposed to be here ..." A tear rolled down his cheek. He wiped it away. "He doesn't want me ... he doesn't care ..." More tears came rolling down. Tika saw this and she went over there to comfort him. Vegeta saw this and a surge of emotion filled over him. Anger.
'I swear she is taking my family away from me.' Vegeta thought. He felt like he had to compete.
"Come on we're going!" He shouted.
"But we have an hour left." Tika called back.
"I don't care! We're leaving!"
"Stay here Trunks."
Tika left his side and stomped over to Vegeta. She grabbed his sleeve and pulled him over to her.
"Listen bro. I just don't get it. I don't understand why you are hiding emotions from your son."
"I don't have to listen to this." He said as he turned away. Tika pulled him back.
"Oh yes you do. Look, you do care for Trunks. What about that time when that future Trunks got killed by Cell? You got pretty upset."
" ........ How do you know about the Cell tournament?!"
" ..... I was there."
"What?"
"Yeah, believe it or not. I didn't make a move cuz Gohan was doing fine and introducing me to you would have been bad timing."
"But, I don't understand ... the concert ... you didn't recognise me ..."
"I know ... I didn't recognise then either ... but seeing you and an older version of Trunks ... it just clicked."
"Let go off me!" Vegeta yelled. Trunks was getting very upset now. He got up and ran to them.
"Stop it! No more fighting!" He collapsed and started to cry. Vegeta picked him up and they headed home. Tika was having second thoughts.
At the Briefs residence, when they came back, Tika went to her room and looked in the mirror. She really looked hurt.
Girl In The mirror
VERSE 1
There's a girl in my mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did
There's a story in her eyes
Lullabies have said goodbyes
When she's looking back at me
I can tell her heart is broken easily
CHORUS
Cuz the girl in my mirror
Is crying tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright
Oh the girl in my mirror
Is crying cuz of you
And I wish there was something
Something I could do
VERSE 2
If I could I would tell her
Not to be afraid
The pain that she's feeling
The sense of loneliness will pay
So dry your tears and rest assured
Love you will find you like before
When she's looking back at me
I know nothing really works that easily
Repeat CHORUS
I can't believe it's what I see
That the girl in my mirror
The girl in my mirror
Is me
I can't believe what I see, no
(Oh the girl in my mirror)
The girl in my mirror is me
Oh it's me
Repeat CHORUS
Just then, Trunks came into her room. Tika looked at him and sat down on her bed. Trunks followed his cue and sat beside her. She wrapped her arms around her nephew.
"I ... I'm a mistake!" He chocked.
"Ssh, now, I'm sure you're not. You're too good to be a mistake."
"But I am! Dad doesn't love mom. He probably just used her just to get a son!"
"Oh come on, daddy's just stubborn. He was never like this. I should know. He used to be a cry-baby."
Trunks sniffed and giggled.
"Don't worry babe. Everything's gonna be alright. I promise."
She kissed Trunks lightly on the head and motioned him out.
"Go on, go in your room and play or something while I get changed, ok?"
"Mm, hm."
Vegeta was downstairs laying on the settee with his eyes closed. He was still thinking.
'People don't always get stronger by training ...What does she mean!?' Vegeta angrily thought. Tika came downstairs in a T-Shirt and jeans.
"Still thinking?"
"Ssh I'm thinking!"
"I thought so."
Vegeta opened his eyes.
"Oh it's you."
"Yes, just plain old me. Budge over I wanna watch football."
"Fine."
"Still no luck?"
"No."
"It's really not that hard. Goku would know."
"What's Kakarott got to do with this!"
"It was a clue."
Silence. Then Vegeta laughed.
"Oh please! This isn't one of those pathetic stories where emotion makes you stronger!?" He laughed again.
"I'm not too sure about the pathetic part but yes, emotion."
"Oh whatever."
"You turned Super Saiyan by an emotion didn't you? Anger?"
"Yeah, anger but not something stupid like 'loved ones'. Those emotions are for losers."
"People who don't own up to their real feelings inside are the losers Vegeta."
Vegeta instantly stopped laughing.
"What did you call me?"
"I didn't call you anything."
"Yes you did you called me a loser!"
"No I didn't I said people who don't own up to their real feelings inside are losers."
"But you was aiming it at me."
"Sort of. But at least you realised that the sentence I said is the sort of person you are. No point telling lies Vegeta. You always get caught out."
Tika got up and left Vegeta on his own. Trunks came in. He whimpered, then went back out again.
"Come here son."
Trunks looked scared, but did as he was told. He walked up to his dad. Vegeta picked him up and put him on his lap.
"Look, I didn't mean to be horrible like I was earlier on. I'll tell you this now: You are not a mistake."
"So ... you love mom?" Trunks asked shyly.
"Yes son. Yes I do."
They cuddled for a while. Tika saw all of it and smiled.
"Well, I never thought Vegeta would come to his senses. Phew, thank god really."
Tika entered and sat next to Trunks, who was now in the middle. She put her arm around Vegeta's neck, so they were all cuddling eachother.
"Make up?"
"Make up."
Tika stuck out her little finger, and so did Vegeta. Their little finger's linked, a sign of new friendship.
"About earlier on ..."
"Forget it Vegeta. That was then. This is now."
They all smiled and they all nestled in together.
