Thanks for reviews
Chapter 40: departureZara stared forward at the dark wall. The hands on the wall clock could just be made out to read 3:30 am but she didn't pay attention.
"What was that?" she asked herself. She frowned and remembered the bright light at the end of the dream.
But it was only a dream…she thought and sighed.
The next morning she was still thinking about it. Trunks came down to find her poking her cereal around in its bowl.
"Someone's thinking too hard." He commented and poured some cereal out for himself.
"What ya thinking about?" he asked and dug in. Zara looked up at him.
"Huh? Nothing…" she replied and went back to not eating her cereal. Trunks stared at her, taking a break from shovelling his breakfast down.
"You ok?" he asked, giving her a concerned look. She attempted a smile.
"Yea, I'm fine. Just didn't sleep so well last night. I'll probably feel better after I pound something in the G.R." she answered, not mentioning how she had the strangest feeling that she didn't have much longer left.
Trunks grinned.
"Wait up and I'll go against you!" he said as she jumped down from the table.
"You sure you can keep up?" she teased as she walked backwards to the door. Trunks finished his food in about five bites and jumped down.
"Of course, it doesn't take Gotenks to catch up with you." he said and ran with her to the G.R.
The two sparred for most of the morning, both staying even, until Bulma stopped them through the intercom. They were going to visit the Sons.
Zara had been quiet the whole journey and as she watched Goku and the boys messing around in the river they were supposed to be fishing in, nothing changed.
Goku had decided to take them fishing. His fishing spot was a river that flowed down from a waterfall. It was a peaceful area that had trees on either side of the banks.
Goku was dunking the boys under the water and they were splashing him back but Zara was deep in thought. She was confused over the dream and was forgetting parts already. She wasn't sure what but something was nagging at her.
"Hey, you ok?" she looked down and met Trunks blue eyes watching her. She blinked in surprise.
"Yea, I'm fine…" she said and he gave her a look that read 'I know you're lying'. He pulled himself onto the bank and watched her.
"Come on, you can tell me." He pressed. Zara stared at him then sighed.
"Fine…I don't know. Guess I just have a funny feeling, that's all." She said and Trunks stared at her thoughtfully.
"Hey Trunks! Stop talking to your girl friend and help me!" Goten yelled from the water as he continued to lose the splash fight with his dad. Trunks nearly laughed at them then looked back at Zara and slowly a Vegeta like smirk spread across his face. She caught sight of it.
"What?" she asked.
"Oh nothing, just think that maybe you should have some fun to take your mind of that feeling…" he said making Zara give him a suspicious look. She wasn't prepared for what happened next.
Trunks got up and 'accidentally' pushed her into the water. She went under and came back up moments later, spitting out water and glaring at Trunks. He jumped in, barely missing her and splashing everyone else. The guys all laughed as he came back up.
"See, made you forget all about it, didn't it?" he asked through laughing. Her glare turned into a devilish smirk.
"True, but I think I know something that will work better." She said making Trunks stop. Before he could say anything, a tidal wave rose up from the water and splashed all the guys, completely missing Zara.
Trunks frowned at her as he broke the surface of the water.
"No fair." He muttered as the other two guys started laughing.
Soon Bulma and Chichi came out to the river with a picnic basket with them.
"Hey! Thought you might be hungry!" Chichi called and immediately the Son boys jumped out of the water.
"Yea, thanks Chi!" Goku said happily and helped set everything up. It took five minutes for most of the food to be eaten and the saiyans ate most of the other's food as well.
Both the Son boys leaned back and patted their stomachs when they were done.
"I'm stuffed!" Goku exclaimed.
"Well that's not surprising. I think the only thing you didn't eat was the basket." Chichi commented and smiled. The others laughed.
"True, but it was still really good, Chi." Goku said and the others agreed. They continued to talk for a few more minutes until Goku looked up and frowned.
"Who's that?" he asked and the others turned to look.
Zara froze.
On the opposite side of the bank stood Sam and Tank looking annoyed.
"What are you doing out here? I thought we left you with my grandfather." Sam said, annoyance showing in her voice.
"I…Bulma said it was alright to stay with her…" Zara said, not moving.
"I don't remember saying it was alright," Tank started, "I definitely don't remember saying it was alright. We said for you to stay with the old man so we would know where to find you." he would of continued but Sam raised her hand to hush him.
"Come on, we're going." She said but Zara didn't show any signs of moving.
"Can't I stay here? Just for a bit longer?" she asked
"No! We have to go right now!"
"Why? What's the hurry?"
"That's none of your concern. Just start moving." Sam said firmly and Zara huffed. Trunks looked between them and frowned.
"Doesn't Zara get a say in this?" he asked but her parents frowned at him.
"No, she doesn't. And we really don't have enough time to argue. We have to go now!" Sam pressed. They may have thought that the Lord was gone but there were still others to worry about.
"Why doesn't she? I mean she should have a little say in when you go or where you go. You can't just drag her away!" Trunks said, now on his feet and walking towards them. He was walking past a tree when something stopped him. Something scaly was near his neck. Before he could do anything it had gone all the way round and tightened, lifting him up the floor and the next thing Trunks new, he was looking into the face of the lizard man, Talius, and his slit like red eyes.
"She doesn't have a choice. She is only a child and like all children she doesn't know what's for the best so I suggest you stay out of other people's business." Tank said coldly then looked at Zara who was glaring.
"Let him go…" she said in a quiet voice.
"Will you be good and come?"
"Yes! Just let him go!" she practically yelled. Tank smiled and Trunks was dropped. His mother instantly ran over to him and wrapped him up in a hug. Zara watched and moved to walk over to them.
"Zara! Get over here!" Tank ordered and Zara flinched. She sighed.
"Fine…bye guys…" she whispered and made her way to her parents. Goten looked confused at the whole scene and Goku was taking a lot of self-control to stop running over and punching Tank.
Zara looked back once more at Trunks, who stared right back, when Talius grabbed her and dragged her over to her parents. Sam nodded a fair well and then they were gone.
Trunks's eyes darted around to try and spot them then he dropped his head.
"Bye Zar…" he whispered.
......
A/n: finally done. So it was devoid of action. Meh. Hopefully it's better than last time. Looks like I'm catching up to the place I had left off when I thought this needed the re-write. Yay! So, what do you think is gonna happen now? You'll have to wait till next time to find out!
