Depths of Heroes' Dreams
Geez, does anyone ever review? No, I don't suppose they do. Well anyways thanks to my good friend Ashley who reviewed. Sorry, Ash, I can't get this published though; it's not my original idea (Note the disclaimer below). Well let the mystery and madness commence!

Chapter Two
"Trunks!! You idiot!! SHUT UP!" I yelled in his ear. I probably woke the whole house up with that statement.
"WHAT?!" Trunks shrieked in surprise. He sat straight up and looked at me like I had lost my mind, "I didn't do it!! It wasn't me!!"
"What in the name of ice cubes are you talking about? I'm not accusing you of anything. You were just shouting 'No, teddy bear, don't go!!'" I said mimicking his yelling.
"Trunks? Why are you in here?" A half asleep Bra asked bewildered. I heard footsteps coming from the room above, which just happened to be Vegeta and Bulma's room.
"Crap," I whispered under my breath.
"Oh geez, I'm dead if my parents find me in here!" Trunks said getting up. My stupid tail grabbed his arm before he could get very far and pulled him back much to his and my surprise. Tried to get my tail off his arm but it wouldn't budge.
"Listen up, you stupid, stupid tail!" I hissed. Trunks was just looking at me and my obnoxious tail with the cutest look of confusion on his face. I knew I was starting to turn a lovely shade of crimson from embarrassment. I was really feeling stupid. For goodness sake I couldn't even control my own tail! What kind of Saiyan was I! I heard footsteps coming down the hall. They were coming closer and closer.
"Ary! Let me go!"
"I'm sorry! I can't get my
tail to let go!"
"Well try something! I really don't feel like being strangled!" I thought about my options and I waited for the words I needed to float down from my head.
"Essoon tropsed grokle Trunks!" I commanded my tail in Gnomish. Nothing happened.
"Oh crap," I heard Trunks mutter just as the doors flew open to reveal a fuming Vegeta. The sight he must have seen with my tail strangling Trunks' arm, me trying to pry it off, and Bra looking at us like we had sprouted cabbages from our ears and were dancing around like ballerinas. I was sure I was about to die. If not by Vegeta, then from embarrassment. Suddenly Vegeta didn't look as pissed as he had just a moment before. Instead of the look of rage that included the death glare and vein popping out of his forehead I was expecting, he had on a smirk of amusement, almost like he knew something I didn't. He shook his head, rolled his eyes in an exasperated way and walked out the door and back down the hall. My jaw dropped in shock. I thought for sure that I was about to be decapitated. I let go of my tail and Trunks tried again to get up. Amazingly my tail let him go that time. I was still in shock as he walked to the other side of the room and peeked out the door.
"Huh? What did you say?" Bra asked turning the lamp by her bed on.
"I said 'Let go of Trunks' in Gnomish," I said regaining my composure.
"Oh, I didn't know you spoke Gnomish."
"Of course I do, Bra. It was the first language I ever learned."
"He's gone into the G.R., I think," Trunks announced. The smirk that was on Vegeta's face was really bugging me. What in the world could he have know that I didn't?
"Well, I don't think I'm going to get anymore sleep tonight," I said looking at the clock. It read 3:23. It was still really early but I decided that getting my butt kicked couldn't wait. Besides, I needed to find out what I didn't know. "So, I'm gonna go see if I'll be killed by Vegeta."
"Um, okay," Trunks said.
"Yeah, see ya. That is if Daddy doesn't slaughter you, Ary," Bra giggled.
"Gee, thanks Bra. I'm glad I have your vote of confidence in my fighting abilities." I said rummaging through Bra's closet for some training clothes.
"Uh huh, don't mention it." She replied sarcastically as I walked into her bathroom. I changed faster than the speed of light and was on my way down the hall to the G. R. before you could say Antidisemstablishmentarianism (A/n:Whew that is a LONG word. ^_~). I had pulled my dark brown hair up into a ponytail and had stolen a pair of Bra's sweatpants and a tank top. I knocked on the door three times and entered.
"What are you doing here, brat?"
"I obviously came to train because there's no way that I can get back to sleep now."
"Hmph," Vegeta said throwing a chi blast at me. I blocked them easily and sent two back at him. Before he could react to my blasts I had conjured a shield of magic around me. The translucent red bubble absorbed the blasts he fired back at me.
"Magic is for weaklings."
"No, magic is for those of us who have multiple abilities and know how to use them," I retorted. That remark made Vegeta get mad enough to turn Super Saiyan. I powered up also but I didn't go Super, not then at least. My shield dissipated as I attacked with a flurry of punches and kicks, I had never been one to wait around and have staring contests with my adversaries. Vegeta blocked most of them but I still got a few lucky punches in. Speed and excellent defense was my strategy. But I remembered that battles weren't won with defense, so I powered up to Super Saiyan and attacked again.
"You seem to have learned something," Vegeta commented as I flipped backwards and slid down into a hook slide faster than even he could sense. He fell over with surprise even though he didn't show it. He got up quickly and counter attacked with a series of punches most of which I dodged easily. The few that did hit me hurt like a hammer being slammed into me. I knew what that felt like thanks in large part to my sister Allanna. I fell over in pain, but got back up again. My shield once again conjured around me preventing an attack.
"So, are you going to tell me why you're here, or do I have to guess?" Vegeta asked crossing his arms.
"You can guess if you really want to," Was my sarcastic reply.
"Hmph," Was the only reply I got before the onslaught of kicks and punches, most of which I successfully blocked. The ones that managed to collide with me hurt like crap and started to bruise almost immediately. I backed off and my translucent red shield of magic appeared once again.
"I know exactly what's going on," Vegeta replied arrogantly, "you and my brat have the same nightmares and you're afraid that they might just come true. The prophecy foretold of all these events."
"What prophecy?" I asked truly befuddled. If there was a prophecy about me I was sure I should know about it.
"The prophecy that was made years before you were thought of. Do you know nothing of your heritage?"
"Saiyan or Fairy?"
"Saiyan you idiot. What would I know about Fairy history?"
"I dunno. You seem to know a lot of things."
"Well at least someone realizes it. I know almost everything you pathetic hybrid!" I translated that into 'You're not as stupid as you look.' That was almost a compliment coming from Vegeta.
"So what was the prophecy?" I asked descending from Super Saiyan. Vegeta also powered down as he started to tell me the prophesy.
"It was prophesied long ago, when I very young, that a great prince would rise and challenge those that lurk in the darkness, but he wouldn't fight alone. His partner would become a great ruler someday and would only be half Saiyan. Together they would defeat Sironae, an ancient evil, that would come from the depths of space. There would be a great battle and they would rid the universe of Sironae. Everyone on Vegeta-sei thought that I was that prince. But they were wrong."
"How do you know that they were wrong?"
"A few years later another prophesy was made. This one announced the year that all these events would happen. Which happens to be this year."
"Really? Are you sure? Is that what's chasing me in my dream? What would happen if I caught me?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Yes that's what is most likely chasing you. And I don't know what would happen but you would probably die a very agonizing death."
"Oh okay. That's very reassuring," I replied.
"This sparring session is over," Vegeta said as he walked out of the G.R.
"Wait! How do you know that Trunks is the prince and I'm the other person?"
"Because the prophesy said that they would be soul-mates," Vegeta said smirking. It took several moments for those words to sink in.
"WHAT?!" By the time I said that Vegeta was gone and I was just standing there yelling at the air which had suddenly become harder to find. My mind was panicking. What was going on! Had the world turned upside down or something! Trunks would never think of me as more than a friend. And how were the dreams a part of all this? Who could I find that could answer all these questions? Well I knew that I couldn't ask Vegeta. He would probably laugh at me. I thought about all the people who could possibly answer my questions...
