Chapter 4
The next morning Laura woke up and saw that she was sleeping on Trunks lap, she started to blush. She looked down and saw that she had his blanket on her, his scent was all over it. She just wanted to hold on to his blanket forever. :He smells really good: she said to herself. Laura quietly slid out from Trunks arms, and went into the kitchen to see what time it was. She looked up at the clock; it was 6:30 in the morning. :Man it's so early: she said to herself while yawning. She went back into the living room, and went over to Trunks. :He looks so cute when he sleeps: she said to herself. She went over and kissed him on his forehead. When she did that he smiled in his sleep and tried to get into another comfortable position. Laura got an idea, went up to his ear and started to whisper his name. Each time she said his name louder. After the third time he woke up. He opened his eyes slowly to see Laura standing right in front of him.
"What were you doing?" asked Trunks slyly.
"Trying to wake you up," said Laura smiling.
"And how were you trying to do that" said Trunks smiling.
"Well… First I went over and kissed your forehead" said Laura as she went over and kissed his forehead. "But all you did was smile in your sleep. Then I went over and started to whisper your name in your ear. After the third time you woke up."
"Oh really" said Trunks. "Come here"
Trunks picked up Laura and put her in his arms. She started laughing.
"Well thank you for trying to wake me up" said Trunks as he kissed Laura on her cheek.
"Your welcome" said Laura. "You hungry?"
"Very" said Trunks. "Plus you're making me hungry"
"Oh really" said Laura. "I'll make breakfast. What do you want?"
"How bout some eggs and sausage, and some bacon, and toast" said Trunks smiling.
"Ok Mr. Briefs your food will be coming up shortly," said Laura. "Why don't you go get some clothes on while I make your breakfast?"
"Ok Ms. Golia" said Trunks. "I'll be down in a minute."
Laura started to make hers and Trunks breakfast. She started to hum a song while making breakfast. :I'm so happy: she said to herself. :Trunks is the only boy that loves me for who I am, not what I look like: She went back to humming her song while breakfast was cooking.
Trunks was almost done getting ready. :Now this is what I want to see every day when I wake up: he said to himself. :All my life I have never seen a girl who is as loving and kind hearted as Laura is. All the other girls only wanted to go out with me cause I have a lot of money, but not Laura:
As Trunks started to go downstairs he could smell the delicious food that was being cooked for him. :That smells even better then when mom makes it: he said to himself. When he got to the bottom of the steps he could hear Laura humming a tune to herself. He walked into the kitchen and quietly went over to Laura.
"Now this is a perfect picture," said Trunks behind Laura.
"Oh, Trunks" said Laura startled. "You scared me."
"Didn't mean to," said Trunks looking over her shoulder.
"What's a perfect picture?" asked Laura.
"You in the kitchen humming a happy tune while making breakfast" said Trunks. "Oh look at all this good food" he said stretching his arm over to grab a piece of bacon.
"Oh no you don't" said Laura swiping Trunks hand away. "You're going to have to wait till I'm done before you can eat. I'm almost finished"
"Aw do I have to" said Trunks trying to give her his best puppy dog face.
"Yes" said Laura almost giving in. "So just sit down and wait."
A couple of minutes later, Laura was done cooking breakfast. She put everything on plates and took them over to Trunks. As soon as she placed the plates down, he started grabbing everything in sight. She sat down quickly and took the rest of the food. While eating she watched Trunks stuff food down his throat. :I'll never get used to this: said she to herself. She enjoyed watching Trunks eat, she thought it was cute.
Once Trunks was done eating he took his plates and put them in the sink. He went back over and kissed Laura on the cheek.
"Thanks for breakfast," said Trunks smiling. "That was even better then my mom's cooking, but don't tell her that. If you do I'll tickle you to death."
"Oh really" said Laura smirking. "I like to see you try."
"I'm surprised that my dad didn't wake up from the delicious smell of your cooking," said Trunks surprised.
"Yeah that is weird," said Laura. "Usually he's the first person in the kitchen when someone is making breakfast."
"Oh well" said Trunks. "So what are you going to do today?"
"Well first I'm going to get out of my pajamas," said Laura joking. "And then I was thinking of going to get some ice cream to top off our breakfast. How does that sound?"
"Ohh that sounds good," said Trunks coming over to Laura. "While were at it, I'll show you around town."
"Ok" said Laura starting to go upstairs.
"Don't take too long," said Trunks.
"I won't" said Laura smiling.
While Laura was upstairs, Trunks wrote a note to his mother saying that him and Laura will be gone for a couple of days, and not to worry about them. He called up to her. "Hey Laura bring your bathing suit and some nice clothes with you. I have a surprise for you after I show you around town."
"Ok Trunks" she yelled back downstairs.
A couple of minutes later, Laura came downstairs with her Adidas's purse. :I wonder what he's going to tell me: she said to herself.
"Don't worry about mom and dad, I left them a note saying where were going" said Trunks.
"Ok," said Laura. "I made extra food for your mom and dad so that your mom didn't have to cook when she got up."
"I think she'd appreciate that," said Trunks smiling. "Your food was delicious."
"Glad I've made you happy" said Laura smiling.
When they left the house Laura thought that Trunks was going to take his car, but they walked past it.
"Were going to walk today," said Trunks reading her mind.
"Ok" said Laura.
Laura grabbed hold of Trunks hand and put it in hers. He looked down and smiled at her. While they were walking to the ice cream shop people were looking at Trunks and Laura. Some of the girls were glaring at her, while others were smiling. Finally they got to the ice cream shop. When they walked in, the Manager walked over to Trunks.
"Good day to you Mr. Briefs" said the Manager. "And who's this fine lady with you today?"
"Hello Travis" said Trunks. "This is my girlfriend Laura."
"Well hello there Laura" said Travis. "It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too" said Laura smiling.
"What can I get you today?" said Travis.
"I'll have two cups of chocolate chip mint and two cups of chocolate chip cookie dough" said Trunks.
"I'll have one of each," said Laura smiling.
"Ok coming right up," said Travis. "It's on the house today."
"Thank you Travis" said Laura.
"Your welcome" said Travis. "Any friend of Mr. Briefs is a friend of mine."
Trunks and Laura sat down and waited till their ice cream came.
"Trunks why were those girls glaring at me while we were walking?" asked Laura.
"They were just jealous that you're going out with me," said Trunks. "I've had many girlfriends, but they've never lasted. They only wanted to go out with me because my family is rich."
"Those are rotten girls," said Laura angry. "I can't believe they did that to you."
"Don't worry they won't get in the way with us going out" said Trunks. "I won't let them."
After they were done talking, their ice cream came. While they were eating Trunks said, "Now this was a good idea"
"I told you so," said Laura smiling. "So what was your big surprise that you were going to tell me after you were done showing me around town?"
"I can't tell you it's a surprise," said Trunks.
"Can't you at least give me a hint" said Laura.
"Nope you're just going to have to wait," said Trunks smirking.
After they were done with their ice cream, they said goodbye to Travis. When they got outside, Trunks started showing Laura around the town. First he showed her the post office, then he showed her places to eat in town, then he showed her the super market and the last thing he showed her was a jewelry store. After they were all done Laura asked, "So now are you going to tell me the surprise."
"Yep" said Trunks smiling. "We are going to the Caribbean's for a couple of days."
"Are you kidding Trunks," said Laura excited.
"Nope" said Trunks. "Were going to take a taxi to the air port, and then will take my private jet to the Caribbean's."
"Who else is coming?" asked Laura.
"It's just you and me," said Trunks smiling.
"Oh, Thank you Trunks," said Laura hugging Trunks.
"Anything for my girl" said Trunks smiling at Laura.
"When are we going?" asked Laura.
"Now" said Trunks smiling. "That's why I asked you to bring extra clothes.
"I'm so excited," said Laura. "I've never been there before. Where are we staying?"
"My mom has a house down there, so that's where were going to stay" said Trunks.
Trunks took her hand and called a taxi. He told him to take them to the airport. Once they got there, Laura stared up at the jet, and started to get nervous.
"Trunks" said Laura. "I've never been on a jet before."
"Don't worry Laura," said Trunks. "Nothing's going to happen."
Trunks took Laura's hand, and lead her to the jet. When they were on, she carefully put her seat belt on and waited for the jet to take off. Once it did she took a hold of Trunks hand, and squeezed it till the jet was up in the air.
"Do you feel better now?" asked Trunks.
"Yes" said Laura. "I've never been on a jet before."
"So now that you know all about my family and friends" said Trunks. "Tell me about yours."
"Well let's see…" said Laura. "Back home I have a younger sister named Heather, she's 11. My mother is a nurse; she works at a doctor's office. I don't have a dad; he died when I was young. I don't really remember him. That's why when I met your dad; I was hoping he would like me. I have a lot of friends, Kristi, Nikki, Nikkee, Vanessa, and Taylour. I do have more, but those are my closest friends. You're my first boyfriend; I've never had one before. I was never popular in school; I never wanted to be like that. When I was younger I got picked on, because of what I looked liked. That all changed when I got older. When I got stronger, the girls that picked on me stopped, because they thought I could beat them up. Now some of the boys are scared of me, because they think I can beat them up as well. That's about it. Before you came, I was quite lonely, but now I'm as happy as I can be."
"Wow" said Trunks. "I wish that I was with you in school, I would have backed you up so that the girls would leave you alone."
"That would have been something nice to see," said Laura smiling. "I can just picture that."
"I never liked my life," said Trunks. "With my family being rich, everyone wanted to go out with me. I was just sick of it. Until I met you. You are the only one who makes me happy, besides my family. I never wanted to be popular either, but that was kind of hard with everyone wanting to be my friend."
"I thought that you would want to be popular," said Laura. "You look like a popular person"
"Nah" said Trunks. "I never wanted to be popular. I just wanted to be happy with the kids that I was friends with in school."
"Oh" said Laura. "Do you realize that we have a lot in common?"
"Yes" said Trunks smiling. "That makes it even better that I going out with you."
"I know that I've only known you for three days" said Laura. "But can I ask you some questions?"
"Sure ask away," said Trunks.
"Ok" said Laura. "When's your birthday?"
"It's April 21st," said Trunks.
"OMG" said Laura. "That's the same day as mine. What's your favorite color?"
"My favorite color is blue, and green," said Trunks.
"What's your favorite sport?" asked Laura.
"My favorite sport is football," said Trunks.
"Ok one more then you can ask me some questions" said Laura. "What kind of music do you like to listen to?"
"Um… Alternate Rock" said Trunks. "Ok my turn. Since I already know your birthday, what's your favorite color?"
"My favorite color is red and baby blue," said Laura.
"What's your favorite sport?" said Trunks.
"My favorite sport is hockey," said Laura.
"Last one" said Trunks. "What kind of music do you like to listen to?"
"Alternative Rock and some Country" said Laura.
"Well it seems like we know each other better" said Trunks smiling. "It's something that we have the same birthday."
"Yeah" said Laura.
When they got done talking, they were there. The instant Laura came out of the jet, she stared in amazement. It was beautiful. The water was the clearest she's have ever seen. There were plants, and flowers everywhere. The sand was nice and warm from the sunlight beating down on it. It was like walking into paradise.
"Trunks it's so beautiful," said Laura.
"You know why I took you here?" asked Trunks.
"Why?" said Laura smiling.
"From the day when I took you into the backyard, you loved the flowers. I knew that there were lots of flowers here," said Trunks. "Also, I wanted us to relax and be together for a couple of days. You said that this place is beautiful, but you're more beautiful then this."
"Oh Trunks" said Laura hugging him. "Thank you, this place is wonderful."
"I'm glad that I made you happy" said Trunks kissing her forehead. "Come let's go find my mothers cottage."
Far off on the island, they saw Bulma's cottage. The house was almost like Trunks house, but shaped differently. It was quite big with a lot of flowers around it, and trees with fruit on them. When Laura got inside, she put down her purse, and started wandering around the house.
The first room she went to was the kitchen. It was big with a nice sunny yellow on the walls. There was a table in the middle of the kitchen, with tall chairs to sit on. The refriduator was right next to the stove. Over on the other side of the room, were cabinets with food in some of them, and utensils in others. After she took a look around the kitchen, she went out through the door, and went into the game room. Inside were a pool table, a big screen TV, two pinball machines, and an xbox system. It was like the room was turned into an arcade. After she left the playroom, she went upstairs. Upstairs, were two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a computer. She went into the bathroom. The bathroom was big with a huge tub, and a three-pictured mirror. She went out of the bathroom, and headed back downstairs.
When Laura came back downstairs, she went into the kitchen where Trunks was drinking some soda.
"So what do you think of the house?" asked Trunks.
"It's beautiful," said Laura. "Just how I pictured it. It's so lively with flowers in each room, and it's so sweet in here."
"Yeah" said Trunks. "Almost every summer we would come here. It's my favorite place. Do you want to go look around, or are you tired?"
"No" said Laura. "Let's go look around."
Laura took her purse, and headed outside. They started to look around the island. A mile from the cottage was the market place. Trunks took her hand, and led her over there.
At the market place, everyone was trying to get them to buy something. While they were walking, Laura spotted a jewelry stand. She headed over to it to see what kind of jewelry they had. There were all kinds of jewelry to buy: rings, and necklaces, and earrings, and a lot of other stuff. One of the necklaces caught her eye.
"Oh look Trunks," said Laura. "It's so pretty."
It was a necklace that was made out of pretty shells. Laura wanted to buy the necklace for herself, but she knew that she didn't have any money.
"I'll buy it for you" said Trunks smiling. "What ever you want I'll get it for you."
"Really Trunks" said Laura her face lighting up.
"Yes" said Trunks. "You're my girlfriend, and I want to buy you pretty things. As long as I make you happy."
"Thank you" said Laura. "You don't know how much this means to me."
Trunks bought Laura the necklace and put it around her neck. :She looks so pretty with it on: he said to himself. He also bought her another one that made out of shells. The shells were bigger, and were shaped into a star. Laura was delighted that she had the necklaces, they were so pretty, and she always wanted one like them. They spent the day looking around at the other stands. Around noontime, they headed back to the cottage, to have lunch.
Once they got inside she went into the kitchen to see what they could have for lunch. There was plenty of food in the kitchen to make anything Trunks asked her.
"Ok what's your favorite meal?" asked Laura.
"My favorite is bake ziti," said Trunks. "It's so good."
"Good choice" said Laura. "I'll make that for dinner."
"Do you want sandwiches for lunch?" asked Laura.
"Sure, that sounds good," said Trunks.
"Ok" said Laura. What kind do you want, and how many do you want?"
"I want three of turkey and four of roast beef" said Trunks starting to get hungry.
"Ok coming right up" said Laura.
Laura took the lunchmeat and the mayonnaise out of the refriduator. Then she took the bread from the cabinet, and started making the sandwiches. Trunks liked watching Laura make lunch. He felt relaxed and happy sitting at the table just watching her. Five minutes later, Laura was done making the sandwiches, and gave him his food. Before she sat down to eat, she grabbed a water bottle from the refriduator to drink.
"I don't know what it is," said Trunks while eating. "But when you make food it's so good. My mom must do something wrong when she cooks. Who taught you to cook?"
"My mom did," said Laura. "Well at least the basic stuff. Then I took cooking all three years when I was in middle school. Those were some great times. So that's how I got so good. I could teach you how to cook, but I don't know how well you're going to do, when I took cooking the boys were horrible, and I'm not saying that you're going to be like that."
"I think I'll just let you do the cooking" said Trunks. "Besides, your cooking is the best that I ever tasted."
"Thanks" said Laura. "Do you want to go swimming after lunch?"
"Sure" said Trunks.
"So, tonight I'll make the bake ziti with garlic bread," said Laura. "And an apple pie for desert."
"Makes me almost want to skip lunch and go straight to dinner" said Trunks.
"Yeah me too" said Laura laughing.
After lunch Trunks and Laura put on their bathing suits, and went outside towards the water. She didn't have to think twice about going in, she knew that the water was nice and warm.
"Now this is the kind of water I like going into," said Laura relaxing in the water.
"It really doesn't matter with me, I get used to any water quickly" said Trunks. "But you're right this is nice."
While Laura was swimming, she spotted something in the water. She went under water and picked it up. It was huge starfish that was bright red.
"Look Trunks I found a starfish" said Laura smiling.
"Let me see it" said Trunks. Laura handed the starfish to him. He started putting the starfish on his head and making silly faces. Laura was laughing the whole time.
After awhile Trunks put the starfish back into the water. It sunk to the bottom and slowly went away".
"Let's go find shells."
"Ok" said Trunks. They got out of the water and walked along the side of the island looking for shells. There were tons of them on the beach, small ones and big ones, bumpy ones and smooth ones. Laura liked looking for sand dollars, and shells that were purple inside. By the time they were done, Laura had tons of them in her hand; Trunks also had a lot in his hands to. When they were done, they went back to the house. Laura took all the shells and cleaned them off. After she did that she put them all in a jar.
"There" said Laura. "Now I have plenty of shells to take with me. I have always like collecting shells, ever since I was young. I remember one time it was in the fourth grade. We went to Sandy Hook for a class trip. My mom went with me also; she was a chaperone for my group. I spent the whole day looking for shells. It was funny because when your mom is the chaperone you don't have to go on the bus. Which was better because I never liked going on the bus with all the kids. There were about four of us in the car. My friend's mom drove. But anyway, we weren't supposed to go in the water, and all four of us went in the water, and got soaked. No one saw us, but it was funny because no one ever found out. All the way home we sat on towels so that we wouldn't get the seats wet. That was one of the best days I ever had."
Trunks was just watching her talk about her past. He was smiling to himself. :It's just fascinating just watching her talk: he said to himself.
"I really miss those days," said Laura. "Every year we would go on a class trip all the way up till the 8th grade, sometimes more then one in elementary school. Now that I'm in high school, I only had one in the fall semester, when I was in French class."
"Do you sometimes miss your home?" asked Trunks.
"At first I did" said Laura. "It felt weird waking up, and not being in my room, or seeing my sister, but now I don't feel that way because I have you."
Trunks went over to Laura. It looked like she was about to cry with that expression on her face. He took Laura in his arms, and rocked her back and forth to sooth her. After awhile he stopped and looked at her. She had a smile on her face, and was just enjoying the moment.
"Thank you Trunks," said Laura. "It's just sometimes when I talk about them, it makes me sad. But I feel better now."
"Well I'm glad that you're no longer sad," said Trunks. "I don't like seeing you sad. It feels like my heart is breaking when you're like that."
"I didn't mean for that to happen," said Laura looking up at Trunks.
"It's ok Laura," said Trunks wiping a tear off Laura's cheek. "I would have felt the same way if I was a long way from my home."
"I shouldn't be like this," said Laura. "I should be enjoying myself, not being sad."
"Let's go walk on the beach till its time for you to make the delicious dinner," said Trunks taking Laura's hand.
"Ok" said Laura laughing softly.
Trunks led Laura outside towards the beach. :I didn't mean for her to get upset: he said to himself. :I hate it when she's sad. It's my job as her loving boyfriend to not let her be sad anymore:
While they were walking hand and hand on the beach, Laura was thinking. :I really didn't mean for that to happen. I felt so much better once Trunks did that it soothed me: Trunks look at Laura for awhile while they were walking. She had a smile back on her face. :She's back to herself again: he said to himself. The rest of the time they just walked silently hand in hand, until it was time to go back in. No one wanted to say anything; they just wanted to enjoy the moment. Trunks took Laura to one of the trees to sit on, so they could watch the sunset.
"It's so beautiful," said Laura.
"Not as beautiful as you" said Trunks smiling.
"You always have the right words to say," said Laura hugging Trunks. "How do you think of them?"
"I don't have to" said Trunks. "All I have to do is look at you, and they just come."
They watched the sunset arms around each other, just enjoying the beautiful sight of the sun going down. After the sunset they slowly go up, and went back to the cottage. When Laura got in, she went straight into the kitchen to make dinner.
"Do you want to stay in here and suffer the delicious smells, or do you want to do something else until dinner's ready?" said Laura. "It's going to take awhile to cook."
"I'll go do something else," said Trunks. "If I stay in here I'll probably die of delicious smell disorder."
"Ok I'll call you when dinner's ready," said Laura laughing.
Trunks went into the arcade room to play something till dinner's ready. Laura took out a capsule from her purse, and threw it down, out popped a radio. She plugged it in and turned it to her favorite station. Laura started singing along to the song, while making dinner.
In the arcade room, Trunks was playing xbox. He could here Laura singing in the kitchen. :She has such a pretty voice: said Trunks to himself. He turned off the system and quietly tiptoed into the kitchen. By then Laura was singing and dancing to the beat of music. Trunks was just laughing to himself watching Laura dance around the kitchen while making dinner. He quickly got his camera and took a picture of Laura dancing. :This is going in my memory box: said Trunks to himself. The music was so loud, that Laura didn't hear Trunks take the picture. After the song was over, Trunks started clapping. Laura spun around and stared at Trunks with a shocked expression.
"How long were you standing there?" asked Laura shocked.
"Long enough to see you singing and dancing around the kitchen" said Trunks smiling.
"Well what did you think?" asked Laura.
"I'll show you what I think," said Trunks coming towards Laura.
Trunks went over and started slow dancing with Laura. 98 Degrees song "The Letter" was one the radio. "You should stick to slow dancing then dancing freely," said Trunks. "It was quite funny watching you."
"Yeah well I'd probably be laughing also if I saw you dancing around the kitchen," said Laura.
"You're probably right" said Trunks enjoying the moment. "But that will never happen."
"You sure about that?" asked Laura. "I might catch you doing something silly that you were doing by yourself."
"Well when that day comes I'll be prepared," said Trunks.
After the song ended, Trunks let go of Laura. She got back to making dinner. He decided to stay in the kitchen to watch her cook, even if the smell was going to kill him.
"I see you decided to stay in the kitchen," said Laura her back to him.
"Yeah I'll live with the smells… I hope," said Trunks. "I wanted to dance some more with you."
"I would have loved to dance some more with you," said Laura. "But I have to get back to making dinner. You don't want to wait forever for me to get done, now do you?"
"No, I'm starting to get hungry," said Trunks.
"Well then let me get back to work" said Laura.
The rest of the time Trunks watched Laura cook dinner. Laura put everything together; she put the bake ziti in the oven, and had the garlic bread on a cookie sheet right next to the oven. While she was waiting she started making the apple pie. She looked over to where Trunks was; he was starting to drool on the table. :I knew he wouldn't be able to last: said Laura to herself. An hour later everything was done, she brought over the garlic bread and the bake ziti. The apple pie was sitting on the counter cooling off. Laura grabbed two plates and sat down. Trunks looked like he couldn't take it anymore. She gave him a huge plate of bake ziti and a piece of garlic bread, and he started eating like there was no tomorrow. She put some on her plate and grabbed some garlic bread and started to eat. After they were done, Laura went over and got the apple pie from the counter; before she sat down she took the whipped cream from the refriduator. She gave Trunks his piece and got some for herself, and started eating. Trunks actually took his time eating the apple pie. :He must want to savor every taste: she said to herself. While Trunks was eating his second piece, Laura started lighting candles around the room. The scent of lilac was filling the whole room. When Trunks was done he took his plates and put them in the dishwasher, then he went back over to where Laura was.
"That was the most delicious dinner I ever had" said Trunks as he kissed Laura's cheek. "I have never tasted something as good as that was."
"Well you can thank my mom, she taught me how to make the bake ziti," said Laura. "And my specialty is making apple pie."
"You know what I'm going to do," said Trunks. "I'm going to take the leftovers back home with us, and let my mom try it out. See what she thinks."
"Well I hope she's the same way as you are now," said Laura laughing.
"What's that smell?" asked Trunks.
"Oh it's lilac," said Laura. "While you were eating I started lighting candles. Back home my mom has two lilac trees in the backyard. I've always loved the smell of them."
"So what do you want to do now?" asked Trunks.
"I was going to go outside and watch the moon," said Laura. "It's a full moon tonight. Do you want to join me?"
"Of course" said Trunks. "I wouldn't go anywhere without you."
Laura took Trunks hand and went outside. She found a log so she could sit and watch the moon. :Just think when my sister turns 17 in six years she'll feel the same way as I am now: said Laura to herself.
"Wow" said Laura "Look it how huge the moon is tonight. I've always loved the moon, it would always shine through my window, because my window was on the side of the house, and that's where the moon always was. Every night before I went to bed I would watch the moon."
:Look at her: said Trunks to himself. : Why haven't I've met her before? Why now did I meet her, was there some reason that now I've met her. Maybe my dream meant something, some kind of sign:
"Hey Laura" said Trunks. "I never asked you this, but when you came, how come you were looking for a hotel?"
"Oh, so I could stay somewhere while I go to school" said Laura. "That's why I came here in the first place. I came for more schooling. Back home, I already knew all the stuff that they taught me."
"I was just curious," said Trunks. "Do you know that when the moonlight hits you, you look even more beautiful then you are now?"
"Really" said Laura. "I always wonder what I'd look like with the moonlight on me."
"Let's go back inside" said Trunks. "It's starting to get cold."
"Ok Trunks" said Laura.
When Laura and Trunks got back in, Laura started to yawn. Everything that went on today exhausted her.
"You tired?" asked Trunks.
"A little, but I'm not going to bed till I watch the Dead Zone" said Laura.
"What's the Dead Zone?" asked Trunks.
"It's a show that's based on the book," said Laura. "It's about a man that gets into a car accident and is in a coma for six years. When he comes out of it, his girlfriend is married to another man, and she has a son, but the son is his. Anyway, when he touches objects or people, he gets visions of things that are going to happen or that happened in the past and they're all true. It helps a lot of people. It's a great show. Right now it's on its second season. The part of his brain that helps him get the visions they call his dead zone. Do you want to watch with me?"
"Sure it sounds like a good show," said Trunks.
Laura and Trunks went into the arcade room. She turned on the TV, and turned to channel 24. The show was just starting. All through the show Laura was glued to the TV. If Trunks tried to talk to her, she wouldn't have heard him. After the show was over, Laura shut the TV off, and headed to the kitchen.
"All that made me thirsty" said Laura. "What did you think of the show?"
"I liked it," said Trunks. "That man John Smith is an interesting guy."
"He's my favorite person on the show, he's so cute" said Laura. "But not as cute as you though. Do you think that it could happen in real life?"
"It's possible," said Trunks. "It would be weird if it happened in real life."
"Yeah your right" said Laura. "I don't think I would like it if it happened to me. Everybody would be afraid to touch me, and even if I bumped into someone, I would get a vision."
"Yeah, but it would be cool," said Trunks. "If I had it, then I would be able to see how are lives would be if I touched you."
"But that would ruin it" said Laura. "It's just better to live out your life, and not spoil it."
"I guess your right," said Trunks.
"All this made me even sleepier" said Laura yawning.
"Let's go to bed," said Trunks. "I'm as tired as you are."
Laura and Trunks walked upstairs to the bedrooms. Their rooms were right next to each other. Laura went into her room and opened the doors to the balcony. She looked up and started watching the moon. :It's so pretty: said Laura to herself. : Look it how much my life has changed since I met Trunks. When I was back home, I was so sad, my friends would always try to cheer me up, but it didn't work. I hated school that's where I never wanted to be. I hated anyone that started bothering me. The only thing I was good at was writing and track. But now that I met Trunks, it's like my life started over from the beginning. I'm no longer sad, and I'm with the boy that I love:
Trunks was watching Laura from her door. :I wonder what she's thinking about: he said to himself. :She looks like she's in a deep thought: Trunks went into Laura's room and put his arms around her.
"Hey I thought you were tired," said Trunks softly.
"I am" said Laura. "I was just thinking."
"What were you thinking about?" asked Trunks.
"About how my life has been since I've met you" said Laura looking up at Trunks.
"And how has it been" said Trunks.
"A lot better then it was before" said Laura.
"Well I'm glad," said Trunks.
Laura and Trunks just held each other for a moment, she was comfortable in Trunks arms, and her head was up against his chest. Trunks kissed her forehead. "I'll be in the other room if you need me."
"Ok Trunks" said Laura yawning. He left so that she could go to bed. Laura got undressed and got into her bed. She was so tired she thought that she could go straight to sleep, but for some reason she couldn't. She closed her eyes and waited for the sleepiness to come, but it never came. Laura got out of bed and took her covers that she brought with her, and went into Trunks room. She opened the door quietly and tiptoed up to the bed. "Trunks, Trunks are you awake?" said Laura. Trunks turned on the light and saw Laura with her covers standing right by the bed.
"Yeah I'm awake," said Trunks.
"Did I wake you?" asked Laura.
"No" said Trunks. "I was still up. What's wrong?"
"It doesn't feel right with you not by me" said Laura. "I can't get to sleep."
"Same with me" said Trunks. "Come here."
Laura got into the bed right by Trunks. Trunks put his arms around her and kissed her cheek. "Now go to sleep," he said, "I'm right here." Laura fell asleep with the sound of his voice in her head.
