Symone's First Time Travel
Prologue
"...And when he stopped in mid-air to gather up the energy to do Goku-san's signature move-- the Kamehameha-- I overpowered him and blasted at him before he knew what'd hit him. The power was so intense that every inch of his being was destroyed; not a trace of him was left for regeneration."
"Whoa!" the little five year old little girl said with excitement, as she listened to the story her father has been continuing to tell her every night.
"When I was certain that Cell was destroyed, I powered down. I looked up towards the sky. It was as blue as I've ever seen it." he smiled alittle, "As a matter of fact--" he looked closely into his child's eyes, "--as blue as yours."
She giggled, "Really?"
He nods, "Yeah. Very bright blue, like yours. It seemed like after finally putting an end to the nightmare that's haunted me all my life. Nature itself seemed happier... And not tainted with evil." Trunks said as he leaned up again, thinking about the day he restored peace on Earth, "I silently thanked my father, Gohan, and Goku-san for my success."
"That's great, Daddy!" his child said, "That makes you a hero!" she squeaked, crawling out from beneath her covers, "You saved the world!" she sat on her bed, sitting on her heels.
He smiles a bit, "Yeah, I did. But not everyone really knows that. Very few people."
"But Momma knows?"
He nods a bit, "Yep, and your grandmother. Also Chi Chi-san. Everyone closest to us."
"Cool! And now I know, too!" she said happily, "I wanna be a Super Saiya-jin, too!" she started punching in the air a few times with her fast reflex.
Trunks chuckles a bit, "I believe you can, but as I've told you, over and over, it's a lot of work. It takes a lot of energy, emotions..." looks down a bit, remember how he, himself became a Saiya-jin, "... and maybe even a sacrifice of someone or something most dearest to you."
She nods a bit, remembering her father telling her last month, in his story how he lost his mentor. She sighs a bit, "Hey, Dad?"
Looks up as his thoughts were broken, "Yes?"
Tilts her head a bit, "What happened afterwards? Did you ever see the other fighters in the other timeline again?"
Trunks shakes his head, "No... If I ever did that, it would complicate things more in that timeline. It was bad enough, with the Cell that came from another timeline to make a trip there; bringing the humanity closer to the brink of instinction worse than this timeline."
"I'll say." she agreed. She sighs again, "I wish I could travel through time. It sounds so much fun."
He shakes his head again, "No. I would never let you go through what I had to do. The fate of this world depended on me." he sighed and leaned on the back legs of the chair he sat in.
The girl pouts, "But I just want to meet the Earth's Special Forces. They sound like very incredible people."
He nods, "They were, in their own ways." He lands back on all four legs before getting up from the chair, "Enough of that, Sweetness. It's getting late." he helped her get back under the covers, then leans over and kiss her forehead lightly, "Good night."
She pouts again, "Da-a-d..." she whines, "I really want to meet them. Maybe they can make me strong, like they did for you."
He laughs a bit, and runs his fingers through her violet-color hair, she inherited from his genes, "Well... let's just say I'm not going to let you do such a thing anytime soon. Maybe years from now."
With the feeling of being encouraged, she looks at her father with excitement; her blue eyes swelled with joy, "Really?! How long from now?"
He tilts his head up, thinking about it, then looked at her again, "Maybe... um... ten years from now." he smirked at her.
Her expression quickly changes to a scowl, "Ten years?! Awww... Da-a-a-a-a-d!!" she pouts again, slumping into her covers with her arms crossed over her small chest firmly, "I can't wait that long!" she said sternly.
He laughs again, "Well, you're gonna have to. Like it or not." he pats her head a bit, but she didn't even flinch, "Oh, come on... You have to understand the consequences. I really didn't have a choice in going, you know. It was to help this world. You can't just go there just for a vacation."
"Hmph."
"Ah... Symone... Don't be like that..." he sits on the edge of her bed, "I'm sure you'll understand someday. Plus, it takes a lot of responsibility to do such a thing like this. And maturity, but obviously, that's something you're not capable of right now."
She blinks then loosens up, "Maturity? So... if I act mature, you'll let me?"
"No. You can't just act mature. You have to be mature enough to do this. And a lot of training. You have to prepare for a lot of things. I really think you can do it, just that, right now, you're too young. Your mother and I will both worry sick about you."
Symone sighs sadly, understanding what he means, "OK, Dad... I'll wait. I just hope you don't change your mind."
He smiles a bit, "No... I won't. I promise. OK? Cross my heart."
She nods and hugs him around his neck, "Thank you."
He hugs her back gently, then pulls away, "You better get some sleep, OK? You and I are going to train more intensed than before, and I want you to get a good night's sleep. OK?"
She nods wearily, "Yes sir. G'night."
"Good night, Sweetness."
Symone slides lower in between the sheets of her bed and turns on her side, with her back towards her father.
Trunks pulls the cover up over her shoulder and leaves the room quietly to let his only child slumber for the night.
Trunks shut the door quietly, leaving it open only an inch. And walked down the quiet hallway of his home. He reached the master bedroom he and his wife, Audrey, shared.
He quietly opened the door, knowing Audrey would already be asleep. He gets undressed for bed and quietly slides beneath the covers, but as his got into bed, Audrey stirs in her sleep, alittle, then wakes up.
She turns over in bed to look at him, "Alittle late tonight, aren't you?"
Trunks gets comfortable in bed, "Yeah... I finally finished telling her my story. She really enjoyed it."
"I bet she did." she chuckles a bit, "She's really encouraged in becoming stronger like her father."
He smiles a bit, "Not only that, but she wants to travel to the past like I did, for sure, to meet the others."
Audrey turns on her back and groans, "Not that again..."
"Yep." he nods, "But I told her ten years from now, I might let her. She kinda got mad about it, but she's okay with it, now."
"You're not serious..."
"What's wrong with that?" he sat up a bit, "I think it'll be okay if she did."
She shakes her head a bit, "Aw, Trunks. That's not good. You told me that yourself."
He sighs, "I know, but you should've seen the way she glown after I said it was okay."
Audrey yawns, "I still don't think it's a good idea." she turns over on her side, with her back facing Trunks.
Trunks lays on his side to lean against her and wrap an arm around her waist, "Come on... It'd be quite an adventure for her, you know? Just ten years from now. Besides, probably ten years from now, she may forget all about it. Three years if we're lucky."
"Mmhmm..." Audrey says wearily, "And if she doesn't?"
He chuckles quietly, with a bit of exhaustion in his voice, "I'll let her dreams come true."
"Good luck to you then, Trunks-kun."
He smiles a bit, "Thanks, Audrey..." he leans over and kisses her on the cheek.
"I know you'll do anything to make Symone happy." she looks at him, "You usually do. She is such a daddy's girl."
He nods, "True..." he nuzzles her cheek, "I can't help it." he laughs a bit, "But that's because she almost reminds me of you... And that what makes me happy; both of you being happy."
Audrey smiles a little, "I've been happy since the day I met you."
He smiles back and press his lips against hers, then looks at her, "Same here."
She smiled again, a bit wider, "Good night, hon... I'm so tired..."
He nods, "Me too... Goodnight, Audrey." Trunks laid back down beside her pulling her a bit closer as he got comfortable to sleep.
