Chapter 6: Mending Two Broken Hearts
********THE NIGHT OF THE PROM (A/N: BTW Starlight hasn't seen or talked to Trunks since the night she asked him about the prom.)
"Starlight?" Chichi asked, knocking on her door. "Honey, can I come in?"
"Yeah, go ahead." She said standing in front of her full-length mirror. Chichi walked in and smiled.
"Oh Starlight, you look so beautiful!" She squealed. Starlight turned around so her mom could get a good look at the dress. It was a long silky turquoise spaghetti-strapped dress. She had her hair down but she had waved it a little bit. Then she had her lucky black choker, and plain black eyeliner on. Chichi was breath taken.
"You really think so?" She said twirling a bit. Chichi nodded.
"Yes."
"Is Gohan still here?"
"No. He left to go get Videl, and you should go too, it's already eight o'clock...Trunks is here. He's waiting in the living room." Chichi winked. Starlight nodded and followed her out of her room. Trunks was sitting on the couch. He stood up once she walked out of her room. He was stunned. He had never seen anyone so beautiful.
"S-Starlight?" He asked. She smiled. She was speechless, she had never seen nor imagined Trunks in a suit. He was looking pretty snazzy (A/N: I'm drooling at the thought). He walked over to her and kissed her. Chichi was standing behind them, on the verge of tears. Starlight ended the kiss and turned around to face her mom.
"Mom? Can we go now?" She asked. Chichi snapped out of her trance.
"Yes yes. Go on, go have fun." She said nudging them out the door. She grabbed Trunks's arm. "Be safe. I know you're a smart kid." She said. Trunks nodded and Chichi closed the door behind them. Starlight was just about to take flight when she felt Trunks's arms around her waist. She smiled playfully and turned around.
"I'll fly you." He said picking her up. She placed one arm around his neck as he jumped into the air. She felt so safe. Se felt safer in his arms then she did on Nimbus. Trunks boosted his speed and got her to the Capsule Corp. They stopped. Bulma wanted to take pictures. Trunks lowered himself out of the sky and walked to the front door, still holding Starlight. Bulma swung the door open, as if she had been waiting the entire time.
"Starlight you look so pretty!" Bulma said. "Now smile!" She practically yelled as she ripped a camera out of Vegeta's hands and took several pictures. Vegeta smirked.
"Okay, now put her down so I can get a look at her dress." Bulma said. Trunks gently put Starlight down and let her straighten out her dress. Vegeta walked over to Trunks.
"Wise choice boy." He said. Trunks looked at his father. "I'm glad to see you've found a mate."
"What?"
"It's in your blood. You're stuck with this one...and just be glad she's not like your mother." Vegeta said, cautiously looking over his shoulder at Bulma. He smiled, relieved that she hadn't heard anything. He shuddered at the thought if she had. O.o
"Trunks, I think we should go ahead and get going now." Starlight said, grabbing onto his arm. He smiled and looked over to Bulma. She ran to the window.
"The limo's outside. You two go ahead and have fun." She said pushing them out the door.
"Limo?" Starlight asked. Trunks smiled and picked her up again.
"Just one of many suprises to come." He said. The driver opened the door. Trunks placed Starlight in first, and then he climbed in next to her. The driver introduced himself as "Dave," and got behind the wheel. He closed the window between him and the rest of the limo, and began to drive the ten miles to Orange Star High School.
Starlight held Trunks's hand and looked into his eyes. "Thank you so much. This is a lot more than I expected." Trunks smiled.
"You were a lot more than I expected too." He said.
"What do you mean?"
"You, were a lot stronger than I could have ever been three weeks ago. I can't express how thankful I am." He said. Starlight smiled.
"THAT'S MY GIRL." Goku said quietly in her head. Starlight was startled for a second but smiled fondly. Trunks noticed the startled look on her face.
"What is it?"
"My Dad...He was talking to me, in my head." She said. Then she remembered that she hadn't told him yet. "My Dad's coming back next month for the World Martial Arts Tournament!" She said getting extremely happy (to the point where she thought she would pop). Trunks smiled and hugged her.
"I'm so happy for you. I know you've missed him dearly." He said, brushing her hair behind her ear. A loose strand fell in front of her face. He grabbed it and began twirling it. "I love your hair." He said. "Are you going to enter the tournament?"
"Yes. I really want to fight, but I know I can't fight at my full power..." She said lying down on his chest. He kept playing with her hair.
"You might have to cut this..." He said. She grabbed his hand.
"Never." She said. "Are you going to enter the tournament?"
"No." He said, letting go of her hair and wrapping his arms around her. "I can't...I-I won't. It's hard to explain...I have these urges sometimes to shed blood and I don't want to. I guess it's just that sometimes my Saiyan blood boils and-"
"I understand. I've got Saiyan blood too. My biological father was one of the most ruthless ones out there. It happens to me too." She said. Trunks was startled.
"Wow, you're just so pretty and dainty looking right now that I almost forgot that you were part Saiyan." He said. The limo stopped. The window opened and Dave looked through it. He smiled.
"You two have fun back there?" He asked. Starlight and Trunks laughed. "Well we have arrived." He said. He closed the window and got out of the car. He opened the door. "Miss Son." He said, holding out his hand. Starlight crawled over Trunks and got out of the limo. Then Starlight helped Trunks out and they began to walk off. Dave waved goodbye and dabbed at his eyes.
"Ahh, so young, so innocent. I'll be back around eleven." He told them. Starlight smiled.
"Thank you for your service...And take your time!" She said as he got in the limo and drove off. Starlight hooked arms with Trunks as they walked inside.
Gohan and Videl were already there. Videl was wearing a black strapless dress. Nothing special whatsoever. Gohan was wearing a suit. He looked up when they walked through the door. He walked over to them.
"Hey Star! Wow you look great! You too Trunks!" He exclaimed. He hugged Starlight. Videl snorted.
"C'mon Gohan, they don't look that great. Well, at least they wont be the ones who win for prom King and Queen." She said, looking them both over. Starlight's Saiyan blood boiled. She wanted to shed blood; Videl's blood. She balled her fists. Her eye twitched. Trunks looked at her.
"Videl-" Starlight said through clenched teeth. Videl smirked and walked up close to her. Starlight was just about to lunge at her when Trunks held her back. Videl stood there laughing. (A/N: I'm putting Videl in here too keep things from getting too mushy.)
"Hahaha. Don't even, for one second, think that you can beat me." She said, poking Starlight on the nose. Starlight tried to bite her. Gohan grabbed Videl's arm away from Starlight.
"Stop. Antagonize her again and I'll leave." He said quietly. Videl looked up at him with her big blue eyes. Gohan got lost in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." She lied. Gohan hugged her.
"Alright, let's go dance." He said. "Bye guys! See ya later!" Trunks waved.
"Star, can I let you go now?" He asked. She nodded.
"Sorry, I-I don't know what came over me." She said as Trunks let go of her. She grabbed his hand and walked onto the dance floor. Right when they did, Creed's "With Arms Wide Open" came on. (A/N: It sets the mood.) Starlight smiled and they began dancing. She lied her head down on his chest and danced that way. He was quite comfortable. He kissed the top of her forehead.
"I don't know what I would ever do without you." He said. "When my parents died I thought I could never feel the same way again. But now...Now I see that life goes on. Even though they're dead, their spirits live on inside of me." He said. Starlight thought of her father. She was so happy that he was coming back, but it was only for one day. Life had gone on for her all those years he was gone. She looked up at him with her sparkling violet eyes.
"I don't know what I would ever do without you either." She said. He looked back at her. "You never left my side when my dad died. I consider myself the luckiest girl in all the galaxies to have met you." She said.
"And I'm the luckiest person in all of existence to have met you. Just your smile is enough to brighten my day. My heart was broken but now it's not. I love you."
"I love you too." She said. He held her closer to her as Dido, "White Flag" came on. "Never let me go." She said.
"I don't plan to. I don't plan to."
