Ok, this is getting better ^ ^ and before anybody asks, I'm bored. So instead of beating the extreme level in 'buldurs gate' I'm writing this. Aren't I good to you? Ok, don't answer that .

Chapter2: a meeting

The next day, Trunks was outside kicking a ball around. His father was doing some private training and his mother would not take him to see his best friend, Goten. So he was out side with nothing more then a ball to play with.

He didn't like being alone. He was used to it but he was getting bored. None of the children around his house could play with him. He was too strong. Or so he thought…

He continued his game of 'keepy uppy' when his ball stayed still in mid-air before floating over to the fence. He watched it in awe. Balls could not defy gravity as far as he knew so it was a mystery to him.

The ball came to a halt and he went over to grab it. When he pulled it down a pair of golden eyes that blinked at him met his gaze. He jumped back in surprise and stared at Zara who now had her head tilted to the side.

"Err, hey…" he said. Her gaze unsettled him. It was intense, like a hawk.

"What are you doing?" she asked. He stared down at his ball.

"I was just, um, messing around…" he said sheepishly. Why was he so nervous? Her gaze was making him uncomfortable. She looked down at the ball.

"Ok…" she sighed and glanced round his garden before settling on him again. He swallowed hard.

"W…why?"

"Bored." She said bluntly before disappearing behind the fence again. He blinked before jumping up to it and looking at her. She was all alone. He could not see or sense her mother anywhere. Strange. He thought. She turned to face him, curiosity imprinted on her face.

"What is?" she asked. He met her gaze for the first time.

"What?" she giggled at his question.

"What's strange." She asked as if it was the most obvious thing.

"I…what?" she laughed again at his confusion and turned towards her house.

"You know, my mother was right. I think I am going to like it here." She said, walking inside at the sound of her name being called from within.

Trunks stared, confused.

"What!?"

~~~~~~

An hour later Bulma had agreed to take Trunks out to the Son house. He was now running around in the mountains with Goten after sneaking away from their mothers who had started gossiping straight away.

"…And then she walked away!" Trunks yelled after talking about his encounter with the girl.

"Really? Do you think she read your mind?"

"Don't think so 'Ten, that's kinda impossible." Trunks replied to his friend who was having difficulty keeping up.

"Nu-huh, I watched this show last night about a guy reading peoples minds. It's real!" the 3-year-old chibi insisted.

"No, Goten. That's a hoax. People can't really read minds." Trunks said after a moments thought. Goten blinked then nodded.

"If you say so…"

"She's weird. She just kept staring and it was almost like she did know what I was thinking! But her eyes were so strong…" he trailed off and looked at Goten.

"Are all girls like that?" Trunks questioned.

"Don't think so. Marron isn't."

"Goten, Marron's two."

"So? She's still a girl, Trunks. Besides, why are you asking me? I'll never go near a girl! They have the cooties!" Goten exclaimed making a face. Trunks laughed.

"Good point. I better stay away or I'll turn into a zombie or something!" he joked, putting his arms in front of him zombie style, making Goten laugh.

"Yea. We better stay away!" Goten joked and they started playing as pretend zombies as they ran along.

They continued running along laughing when all of a sudden the ground gave a violent shake. Both boys nearly fell over and looked at each other in surprise.

"What was that?"

"I don't know. We don't get many of those up here…" Trunks blinked then looked around. He scanned for a clue of the cause and found what looked like a top of a giant pink bubble coming up from the top of the trees. Goten spotted it too and after they both shared a glance they ran towards it.

When they reached it they gave out a gasp. They were on the edge of a cliff and directly below was a large pink dome. In side the dome there looked to be a giant light show.

"What's going on down there?" Trunks asked himself aloud and Goten shrugged.

At a closer inspection they saw that two people were sparring. And, Trunks noticed that it was not just anyone. He gasped when he figured it out.

"WHAT?" Goten cried out.

"Zara…" Trunks said & leant closer in.

It was Sam and Zara down there. They were both in red and black gi and looked to be putting everything they had into it. Well, at least Zara did.

They were locked in battle, both had fired beams and were fighting for dominance when Sam disappeared, reappearing behind Zara and hitting her into her own beam. There was an explosion and Zara disappeared. Sam smirked and raised her fist over her shoulder just in time to hit her daughter. Sam seemed to say something while Zara rubbed her face. Zara nodded before charging at her mother again and giving out left and right punches at a blinding rate. Sam dodged them then grabbed Zara's hands, shaking her head before kneeing her daughter and throwing her at the shield around them. Zara hit it and moaned before Sam appeared, pushing her hard against it.

Trunks gasped and leant closer in. it was just like watching one of his father's sparring matches. Only this was a lot harsher.

"H…how old did you say she was?" Goten asked shakily.

"A…about your age…" Trunks said, swallowing hard. As he watched he resisted the urge to run down there and try and save the poor girl. She was being pummelled. And what was stranger then the fact that it was her mother doing the pummelling was that he couldn't sense anything that was going on inside the dome.

Eventually Goten pulled on his shirt.

"Trunks…I think we should go home now…" he said. Trunks slowly nodded. She's treating her three year old daughter like that…what's wrong with her? He asked himself before leaving with Goten, running full speed.

~~~~~~

Back at the Son residence two angry mothers were waiting for their sons and husband to get there. Finally Vegeta and Gohan appeared through some bushes and a little while later Trunks and Goten came running out looking worried.

"Trunks? Goten? What's wrong with you two?" Gohan asked, being the first to spot them.

"There'sthisbubblethingyinthewoodsandTrunks'sneighboursarefightinginitandthislittlegirlisgettingreallybeatenupand-" Goten rushed before being ribbed by Trunks.

"Wait, what?" Bulma asked as Chichi looked concerned and bent down to her son's level.

"Say it again sweetie, I didn't understand that." She said once there. Goten took in a deep breath and told them what they saw.

"…. And we couldn't sense a thing!" he finished. He looked from one person to the other while Trunks kept eye contact with his father.

"How powerful were they?" Vegeta finally said, breaking the silence that had hung there once Goten had finished.

"I dunno." Said Goten sheepishly. Vegeta growled then looked at Trunks.

"That bubble thingy wouldn't let us sense them." Trunks said simply before turning around and starting walking away. Vegeta growled again and kicked a tree stump that immediately was uprooted. They stared at it before Vegeta walked away, flying home with his son.

Chichi stared at Bulma.

"What's his problem?" she asked. Bulma shrugged.

"I don't know but I know one thing. I'm going to have to have a little talk with my new neighbours…"

~~~~~~
