Chapter 2: Some Crazy Going Onz
A/N: Ok just to get something strait, Trunks is 18, Goten is 17, Pan and Bra are 16, Owen is 18, and Dace is 17. Also Owen and Dace are characters I made up and brother and sister if you haven't figured that out yet.
Pss: I described Dace in the first chapter, but I'll describe Owen now. He has Black spiked hair, with a tint of green when the light hits it just right and has black, green tinted eyes. He like Dace and trunks…ect. is a demi-saiyan, with just about as big of an appetite as Goku but Dace'sbrother. He's just as tall as Goten if not an inch taller, and acts just like Goury on Slayers, so you know a definite problem for most of the people around him, but he is nice, kind, and caring and can kick some serious ass.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The four once hungry demi saiyans, sat with there backs against there chairs stuffed, and relaxing.
Pan started cleaning up the dishes when Bulma came in and help. "You guys did Dace act strangely when you were practicing earlier?" Bulma asked gathering some plates off the table to give to the robots to clean.
"She seemed perfectly normal to me." Goten said with a look of confusion on his face.
"Yeah." Owen chirped in.
Pan finished picking up and sat at the table again. "I don't know, she seemed ok. But then again she was out of it more then usual."
"Yeah she was kinda out of it, I guess I'll go figure out what's wrong." Trunks got up and headed tward the door to the yard where they were practicing.
"She left Trunks." Bulma said.
Trunks turned around with a look of disbelief on his face. "She left?" Bulma nodded. "Awkward. I guess I'll have to go find her then see what's wrong." He said then went out the door and took off into the air fallowing the faint trace of her ki.
Suddenly her ki disappeared and was suppressed. Trunks stopped in midair and tried to find it again, but no avail so he headed in the direction she was last going.
*****************
She stopped flying, and landed herself on a big rock in the middle of some mountains, and suppressed her ki for no particular reason.
She sat down, and tried to hold in all the emotions that were struggling to break out. Suddenly she couldn't control it anymore and burst out into sobs. Putting her hands to her face Dace wept silently to herself, about all the bad things that happened to her in the past, and about her mother's death.
"Why? Why am I cursed with such a fucked up and miserable life?" She mumbled to herself through all of the tears. 'If only my mom didn't die, if only I could have died in her place. Why do I have so many questions that start with why? Mom why did you have to leave me here? Alone, nobody will understand.' Her chain of thought was broken when a branch cracked behind her.
Dace turned her head and was not to happy at what she saw.
Trunks saw one of his good friends sitting on the ground with a tear stained face and still more rolling down her cheeks. His heart broke in two when he saw her like that and he stuck a worried glance on his face. 'Dende Dace, what's wrong?' He thought as he went over to sit by her.
"Trunks go away." Dace said with sadness, and anger present.
Trunks was taken aback and stopped himself before he sat down. 'No. I'm not going away until she tells me what's wrong.' He mentally said to himself, then ignored the look of displeasure on her face and sat. "I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong Dace." Trunks said with a caring voice.
She frowned. "It's nothing you can help with. So just leave me alone."
"Dace." He turned to look at her, but she was turned away hugging her knees. "Dace look at me."
"No." Her voice crocked.
"Dace." Trunks said soothingly then cupped her chin and turned her face to look him dead into his eyes. He looked into her eyes as she looked into his. 'Damn I can see all the pain, sorrow, and loneliness in her eyes.' He kept looking as did she until he saw it. 'Anger? Love?' He tried to get the thoughts in his head and see what it was, see what the deep flame in her eyes meant.
"Damn, your so beautiful." He said soothingly as his thumb wiped a few tears away from her cheek. Her eyes filled with shock for a second and he mentally beat himself up at what he just realized what he said.
Her eyes returned to what they had in before he made the comment. 'Trunks I don't see you like that…I'm sorry. But Pan does and why cant you see that?' She frowned slightly as she thought.
His mind raced and he couldn't take it any more. Trunks leaned over and brushed his lips against hers and then resting them on her lips.
Dace's eyes widened in shock then she pulled away, and dragged herself back a few feet.
He mentally beat himself up for what he just did, and thought she pulled away because she wasn't ready. 'She just wasn't ready, and uh she wasn't expecting me to kiss her.' He thought as he looked at his feet in front of him and making side glances of the curled up figure sitting a few feet away from him.
"I'm sorry D-" He started but it seemed she wanted to finish for him.
"No Trunks. I'm sorry, that shouldn't have happened…none of this should have happened. You shouldn't even be here." She said putting her face on her knees that were drawn up to her.
His heart broke in half when she told him that he wasn't supposed to be here and show her what he felt for her.
"Look Trunks, I didn't mean that…that…I mean I really do like you, not in that way though. But its just I'm out here to think too, and…I don't know." She whispered at the end and sobbed into her knees.
Trunks moved over to her and pulled her onto his lap and into a hug, letting her sob into his shoulder. "Shhhh…its ok, I'm here." He whispered and brushed the stands of hair out of her face. "Just tell me and you'll feel better."
Dace explained her problems with how there was nobody to talk to, but Trunks had assured her that her would always be there for her. She told him about it was very hard on her because her mom died the same day 2 years ago. Then she swallowed and prepared for what she was about to tell him, something that could put there friendship in jeopardy. "Trunks…"
"Hmm?"
"I…I…I like you allot…but its just not more then friend wise…I'm sorry." She said and closed her eyes and expected a different answer from him.
His grip loosend around her "It's ok don't worry about it. Its just I don't know…I kind of like you more then a friend...but it's ok. Friends are cool" He sighed 'Damnit! oh well I guess I'll have to get used to rejection.'
Her eyes widened in shock. Then she smiled and levitated in the air "Race you back." She called out and took off.
Trunks sat there for a few seconds to pull himself back to reality, and got up and took off after her. "She's not going to beat me." He mumbled to himself anxious to catch up.
************
After a short flight in which Trunks was trying to catch Dace unsuccessfully, then they landed in the yard of Capsule Corp. They both put on big grins as they looked at each other and Dace ran inside, while Trunks just wondered why the hell she did that.
"Hey Trunks." Goten greeted Trunks as he came out of the large domed house. "I guess Dace is fine." Goten pulled Trunks over to the stage where they practiced earlier, that still had all their stuff on it. Then he sat down at his drums.
"Oh no. Were not practicing again today." Dace called out after both of them holding her CD case and a sandwich. Then ate the sandwich in a few seconds.
"But what else are we going to do?" Goten asked with a confused look on his face.
Trunks stood there in a look of wonder also.
"Oh. I have an idea." Dace replied with a very VERY evil look.
"AHHHH!!!!!!" Goten screamed and tried hiding under the stool he was sitting on, but instead of hiding he was just making a lot of loud noises with the set of drums. He started shaking and yelled again, "NOO!!! I'm not going to play truth or dare, or spin the bottle."
Trunks started cracking up but then shut up when he heard the names of the games mentioned.
A look of blankness was all over Dace's face, but then a blush crept over her cheeks. "What the hell are you talking about Goten?"
"Its just Bra says that all the time, then smirks like that and then we all end up playing one of those games…." He gulped. "…or strip poker…." He mumbled the last one to himself which both of the other demi-saiyans could hear and caused Trunks to give Goten a death stare for even thinking about playing that with his sister.
"Well…" Dace started putting the evil grin back on her face. "I was thinking of something more fun…"
************
"I wonder what was wrong with Dace." Pan yawned and laid back on Bra's bed, while Bra raided her closet.
"I really don't know." Bra said then coming out of her closet holding some clothes then positioning them over herself (dark hip hugger jeans, with a light baby blue backless shirt that ties around the neck, and with a slit on the front in the middle that stopped at the breast area). "Do you think Goten will like this?" She asked with a hopeful look on her face.
"Yeah, yeah." She answered waving her hand to motion it away. "I don't see why you need to dress up to make him notice you, I mean he already does."
"REALLY?!!" Bra asked excitedly with a look of happiness on her face.
"Yeah, I can see he likes you." She sighed sadly. 'Yep Goten likes you Bra, but Trunks doesn't like me.' She thought to herself.
Bra noticed her best friends sadness and sat on the bed next to her. "You know, I know you like Trunks and all, but I don't think he's your type. Why don't you go out with Uubu or Owen?"
'Hmmm…Owen…he is kinda hot.' She thought. 'But really…Trunks.' "I don't know Bra…maybe."
"Who knows, maybe Trunks will get jealous and want to go out with you after that…" Bra kept rambling on. "…so maybe that'll work." She stated with a nod of her head
"Yeah, sure Bra."
"The tough part is getting Owen to ask you out, but hey that shouldn't be too hard." She said with a triumphant smile. "Now excuse me while I get dressed for the movies."
Pan sighed then shook her head.
"Pan. Aren't you gonna change to? I mean Goten said were leaving in a half an hour, and Trunks is coming." Bra said from her bathroom, that's connected to her bedroom.
***********
Somewhere in Capsule Corp……
Owen kept going back and forth in the maze that people called a house…just trying to find the kitchen to get a yummy snack. "Oh wow pretty bunny." Owen said to himself stopping to look at a watercolor picture of a rabbit on the wall that he passed 12 times before hand and doing the same thing every time he saw it (give or take a word).
He yawned then walked away, only to find himself in the bathroom which he was for sure was the kitchen…
*********
"YOU WHAT??!!!!" Trunks and Goten shouted at Dace's last comment.
"No seriously Dace we cant do that." Goten said shaking his head back and forth.
"Yeah, mom'd kill me, take that back. She would give me to my dad to beat me within an inch of my life, then heal me and do it over and over till he gets tired of it." Trunks said with the were-not-going look on his face. "And anyways nobody has used that time machine, it was just built and not used. So if we left, there would be a great chance we wouldn't be able to get back."
"Ok, if you two don't want to go, then I'll just go by myself." Dace said with a small amused smirk.
"NO!!" Both guys shouted at her.
"Oh yeah?" She plastered an even bigger smirk. "Make me."
Both guys were taken aback while Dace turned and walked into Capsule Corp. from the small makeshift stage.
"Goten we can't let her go." Trunks told his best friend.
Goten nodded. "I know, but how are we going to stop her?"
"I don't know man."
Dace walked back with a capsule in her hand. "I don't know, there were more then one time machines so I grabbed one of the two and yeah." She said looking at the capsule. "Well this is your last chance, are you guys going or staying?" She asked while she popped the capsule to reveal a time machine. (aka: pretty much like trunks from the future's, but more people space.)
Goten shrugged. "I guess if there's no stopping you then I'll go so you wont get hurt or anything."
The overhead glass thing opened and Dace jumped in fallowed by Goten. "So Trunks you coming?" Dace asked with a hopeful glint in her eyes.
"I-I cant." He said.
There was a loud scream of rage from the house. "WHAT??!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN TRUNKS FRIED A CLIENT???!!!!! *click* TRUNKS GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!!!!!!!NOW!!!!!!" Bulma's voice roared.
"On second thought, I think I'll go." Trunks hopped in also and shut the cover. And notice Dace pull something out. "What the hell is that?" He motioned to the CD player thingy that she was holding. "And where do you wanna go?"
"It's a CD player that can play with or without headphones, and I want to go anywhere a few hundred years back that was peaceful." She said and started the music. Further See by: Further Seems Forever started to play.
"Ok." Was Trunks reply as he sat down at the control panel, then turned back to her with a more urgent look on his face and more urgency in his voice. "Like where?"
Dace looked at Trunks then moved her attention to what was behind Trunks and starred wide-eyed. "Oh shit….."
***********
Pan walked out to Bra's balcony that over looked the small stage, but wasn't really ready for what she saw. She saw the time machine out with Trunks, Dace, and Goten in it. "Bra…"
"Yeah Pan?" She said coming over to her best friend and out onto the balcony. Pan pointed a finger to what she was looking at wide eyed. "Oh shit."
A/N: Ok just to get something strait, Trunks is 18, Goten is 17, Pan and Bra are 16, Owen is 18, and Dace is 17. Also Owen and Dace are characters I made up and brother and sister if you haven't figured that out yet.
