Chapter 8
It was pouring outside when Laura woke up the next day; she opened her eyes slowly, and realized that she was still in the healing room. She was still sitting in Trunks lap, her head against his chest. :I don't want to move: she said to herself. :I never want to leave him again: Laura started humming her favorite song that she'd known since she was young. It was a very sad, but sweet. Trunks was still sleeping when he heard the song in his dream. :What a strange song: he said in his dream. He was dreaming him and Laura were in some kind of country, and she started singing the song. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing to hear her sing. As she was singing, Trunks looked around the room to see that some of the people had tears coming down their face. The strange part about the song was that she was singing it in a different language. :This must be some song for people to start crying: he said to himself. After she was done singing everyone started clapping as loud as they could, they really enjoyed it.
"That was amazing," he said to her.
"I always wanted to do that" said Laura.
"What were you singing that song in?" he asked.
"Oh it was Gaelic" said Laura. "It's what Irish people speak in. I was taught very early how to speak it. I'm a quarter Irish. My Grandma on my dad's side was Irish. That's how I know the songs."
"It was very pretty," said Trunks. "What was it about?"
"It was about a sailor going out to sea and he had to leave his wife and child behind. He promised them that he would come home safe. Then one night there was a huge storm and his ship crashed. His wife found out the news the next day, and thought that he was dead. But then a ship found him in the water and brought him aboard. When he became conscious, they asked him where he was from, so they took him back to his home. A year later his wife was looking out at the sea, and saw a ship coming. As the ship came closer, she saw her husband on the ship, and joy came over her. She thought for so long that he was dead. When he came off the ship, she jumped into his arms, he had finally come back to her, and he promised that he would never leave her again."
"Wow" said Trunks. "You sang that whole story in Gaelic."
"Yeah" said Laura. Suddenly the dream was fading out, he didn't want it to end, but someone was trying to get him to wake up. He snapped out of his dream and opened his eyes. When he woke up Laura was still humming her song. :So that's where it was coming from: he said to himself.
"Good morning" said Trunks sleepy.
"Hi" said Laura. "I didn't know if my song was going to wake you up."
"Is that song about a sailor?" he asked.
"Yeah how did you know?" said Laura.
"I just had the weirdest dream," said Trunks. "We were in some kind of country, but I think it was Ireland, but anyway you were singing a song in Gaelic, and everybody was watching you, while you were singing, some of the people were crying from the song, then after the song everyone clapped really loud for you. You told me that the song was about a sailor. Do you know Gaelic?"
"Yeah I do," said Laura. "My mom taught me how to speak it when I was very young."
"The song sounded very pretty in the dream," he said.
"It's a sad, but sweet song," said Laura. "It's pouring outside." She said looking out the window.
"Well good were not leaving the house today anyway," said Trunks.
"Then what are we going to do?" asked Laura.
"Were just going to relax all day," said Trunks.
"Sounds good to me" she said. "Oh no"
"What's wrong" asked Trunks.
"I just remembered that I'm going somewhere with your mom tomorrow" said Laura.
"How long are you going to be gone?" asked Trunks.
"Probably for awhile" said Laura? "Knowing how your mom is."
"Awwww that's too long" said Trunks whining. "I'll miss you too much."
"Don't worry I'll be back" said Laura smiling. "I'll miss your even more."
"I never asked you, but what are your favorite subjects in school?" asked Trunks.
"I'd say that my favorite would be English and History" said Laura. "If I had to choose I'd pick English."
"I like English also" said Trunks.
"Ahh another book reader" said Laura laughing. "Don't worry I love to read. That's one of the reasons why I like English; the other would have to be English gives me a challenge."
"Yeah I love challenges" said Trunks. "Well now we have to really enjoy today so that you won't miss me tomorrow."
"Same with you" said Laura smiling. Laura started getting up when her stomach started rumbling.
"Let me guess, you're hungry" said Trunks. "This time I'm going to make breakfast for you."
"Do you know how?" asked Laura.
"I know how to make a couple of things," said Trunks.
"Well ok then let's get to it," said Laura.
Laura wrapped her blanket around herself, and followed Trunks into the kitchen. Everyone was still sleeping so they had the kitchen to their selves. Laura sat down on the stool, while Trunks got to work. By the looks of it he was making French toast and scrambled eggs. It was 7:00 in the morning and Laura was still tired. All night long she had nightmares about Trunks dying. She never wanted to lose him, it would break her heart, and she didn't think she'd ever live or love again.
"Laura" said Trunks as he was placing the plates down. "You look like you haven't gotten any sleep."
"I didn't," she said. "I had nightmares last night that kept me awake."
"What were they about?" he asked while eating.
"They were about you dying," said Laura picking at her food. Thinking about it made her lose her appetite. "One after another it would replay you dying, and me dying of a broken heart."
"Laura" said Trunks getting up and sitting down right by her. "You know I will never leave you, don't think about all that think about now, not what could happen."
"I know it's just that you really scared me last night, and it keeps replaying in my head," she said.
"It'll be ok don't worry" said Trunks hugging her. "Are you cold?" Laura still had her cover around her.
"No I didn't want to take it off, I was too comfortable" said Laura.
"Let's stay in my room today," said Trunks. "We can just relax and watch TV all day."
"Ok" said Laura. "Hey Trunks do you have a computer I can use?"
"Yeah I have one in my room," said Trunks.
"I want to send an email to my sister, see how everyone is doing" she said.
"Ok come on," said Trunks. They were just leaving the kitchen when Bulma walked in.
"Trunks" said Bulma hugging him. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah mom I'm fine," said Trunks. "Were going to stay in today and relax."
"Ok did you already have breakfast?" asked Bulma.
"Yeah I saved some for you," said Trunks. "If you need us will be in my room."
"Ok Trunks" said Bulma.
Laura followed Trunks into his room. He sat down on his bed while Laura went over to his computer. She typed in her password to her screen name, and waited to go online. When it went through she had tons of emails.
"Man I know that I haven't been on in a long time, but I've never had this many," said Laura.
"How many do you have?" asked Trunks.
"Seventy" said Laura. "Most of them are from my friends, I got a couple from my cousin, and I have one from my sister." She opened the one from her sister first.
Dear Sis,
Do you know how much I miss you? It's so lonely here without you. All of your friends are upset that you're not here. They heard the news that Kristi moved. So what does your boyfriend look like? Is he cute? Would I like him? Mom won't let me date yet, she said that I have to be 16, but I want to be just like you. When are you coming home? I want you to come home soon. Mom gives her hugs and kisses through me.
TTYS,
Heather.
"What did your sister say?" asked Trunks.
"She said that she misses me, my friends are all upset that I'm gone. They found out that Kristi moved. She wants to know what you look like and if she would like you, and that she wants to date, but my mom won't let her till she's 16" said Laura.
"I'd like to see what she looks like," said Trunks. "Your sister sounds really nice."
"She is" said Laura. "I'm going to send a picture of you over to her, and to tell her to send a picture of her back to me so that you can see what she looks like. I don't have a picture of her on me."
"Ok" said Trunks. "Take your time, were not going anywhere." Laura wrote her sister's screen name in the new email and started typing.
Dear Heather,
I really miss you too, and I'm sorry that you're lonely. If my friends call or come around tell them that I miss them also, and not to be upset, I'll come and visit soon. Tell them that Kristi is here with me, and she misses them to. My boyfriend's name is Trunks he's the same age as me. He has lavender hair and blue eyes. He's 6'0" and very strong. I'm going to send a picture of him to you so you can judge yourself. Tell mom I send my hugs and kisses through you, and that I miss her. And don't worry you'll be able to date soon.
Luv ya,
Laura.
P.S. Send a picture of yourself in the next email, Trunks wants to see what you look like. Tell mom that Trunks is the best thing that came into my life and that I'm really happy, and that I'm in West City, also that Kristi has a boyfriend, and her boyfriend is Trunks best friend.
Laura wrote back to the rest of the emails and signed off. She got up and sat down next to Trunks. He already had the TV on and was flipping through the channels to find something that he could watch.
"I didn't know that my friends would be this upset. I know that when I left that I didn't tell them, but I thought that they would understand."
"Well now they know where you are, and they'll calm down eventually" said Trunks.
"Yeah your right" said Laura. "All that exhausted me."
"Well come here," said Trunks. Laura scooted over to Trunks and he put his arm around her.
"Anything good on TV?" asked Laura.
"Not really" said Trunks. "Why don't you try to get some sleep? You'll feel a lot better once you have more energy."
"But I'll get those nightmares again" said Laura.
"I'll be right here if you do, and I'll make them go away" said Trunks.
"Ok Trunks" said Laura. She layed down and closed her eyes. It took her awhile to get to sleep, but she finally did. She fell into a deep sleep, but her dream came back. Trunks was watching her the whole time. She started talking in her sleep, saying please don't die I can't live without you. Trunks started shaking her to wake up. "Laura, Laura wake up your dream came back." Laura woke up instantly from her dream in a cold sweat. She started shaking really bad. Trunks picked her up and started trying to warm her. "Laura its ok I'm here, it was a dream don't worry."
"Trunks that was horrible" said Laura still shaking.
"Shh, I know I'm here now nothing's going too happened" he said.
Trunks calmed her down and put her back on the bed. She took some deep breaths and pushed everything out of her head.
"You ok now?" asked Trunks. "Maybe we shouldn't stay in the house today. The suns out, let's go ride bikes, get your mind off of all this."
"Ok I really need to get out of the house," said Laura. "Do you have an extra bike I can use?"
"Oh yeah I have plenty extras that you can borrow" he said
"Alright then let's go," said Laura. Laura went into her room to get ready. Trunks sat on his bed for a couple of minutes thinking. :I feel sorry for Laura; she shouldn't have to suffer because of me. Maybe mom can give her something so that she doesn't have to have those nightmares. That last one bother me a lot her waking up shaking. I'm going to help her in anyway that I can: He got dressed and went downstairs to talk to his mom.
While in her room Laura was thinking. :Why is this bothering me? I shouldn't be thinking about that I'm not going to lose Trunks. But ever since yesterday and seeing him like that, I just can't get that out of my mind. I got to relax and clear my mind more. Maybe then I won't have the nightmares: She put on some comfortable clothes for the bike ride, and headed downstairs.
Meanwhile Trunks was trying to find his mom. He searched everywhere, but he still couldn't find her. :How come when I really need her I can't find her? Then he realized where she was; she was in her lab. :The one place I don't look she's in: he said to himself. He went inside the room and waited for his mom to stop what she was doing.
"Mom" said Trunks.
"What's wrong Trunks" said Bulma looking at him.
"Laura's been having nightmares since last night about me dying" said Trunks. "I wanted to know if you had anything so that she wouldn't have the nightmares."
"Trunks let me ask you something" said Bulma. "Are you afraid of dying?"
"Yes very much because I don't want to leave Laura" said Trunks.
"That's why Laura's been having the nightmares" said Bulma. "Since you two are bonding, she knows that you're scared and that's causing her to have the nightmares."
"So it's been my fault," said Trunks sadly.
"No it's not your fault Trunks," said Bulma. "You just have to stop being afraid, then she won't have them anymore."
"I'll try mom," said Trunks. "You know I would do anything for her."
"I know sweetheart," said Bulma. "You really love her don't you?"
"Yeah, I do with all my heart," said Trunks. "And I never want to lose her."
"By the way Trunks why are you dressed, I thought that you and Laura were going to relax today" said Bulma.
"Were going to go for a bike ride," said Trunks. "So she can try to get her mind off all the nightmares."
"That's a good idea," said Bulma. "Have fun."
"Thanks mom for everything" said Trunks hugging her.
"Your welcome" said Bulma. "You know I would do anything for the both of you."
"I know you would," said Trunks. "Well I'm going to go find Laura, and leave you to whatever your working on now."
"Ok Trunks I'll see you later" said Bulma.
"Ok mom" said Trunks as he walked out of the room.
:If I can make this thing Laura's going to be a whole lot happier then she is right now: said Bulma to herself. Bulma's latest creation was a machine that would allow you to talk to someone outside your dimension. Bulma was working on it now so that she can have it ready for Trunks and Laura's birthday, she was going to give it to Laura as a birthday present. So that Laura could speak to her friends and family on her birthday.
Trunks was outside waiting for Laura to come out. When he took his bike out he finally saw Laura heading towards him.
"Sorry I took so long" said Laura. "I was taking in the nice weather."
"It's no problem Laura," said Trunks. "We have all day; you can take as long as you want. You ready to go?"
"Yeah which bike do I get?" asked Laura.
"This one right here" said Trunks pointing at the bike that was right by his.
"It's really nice," said Laura getting on it. The bike was a light blue mountain bike. Trunks bike was a mountain bike also, but his was a darker blue.
"So where do you want to go?" asked Trunks.
"How about around the neighborhood" said Laura.
"Alright let's go then," said Trunks.
"Before we go I must tell you that I haven't been on a bike in awhile so I'm a little bit rusty" said Laura.
"Ok" said Trunks. "I'll go slowly until you get the hang of it." Trunks and Laura took off down the road. Trunks was in front of Laura, so that Laura had space if she lost her balance. It didn't take her long to get the hang of it. By now she was right by Trunks. They weren't going fast; they just wanted to enjoy the bike ride. It got a lot warmer once the sun came out, it really wasn't supposed to get warm, but the weather always changed in West City. Around 2:00 p.m. they headed back towards the house. On the way home Laura saw some bunny rabbits. :They must come out after it rains: she said to herself. Once they got home they put their bikes back into the garage, and headed up towards the house.
"I enjoyed that," said Laura. "It felt good to get back on a bike. I had one, but the brakes weren't working so we took it back, and I never got another one after that."
"Well you can borrow that bike anytime you want," said Trunks opening the door.
"Trunks come here," said Bulma from the kitchen. Trunks and Laura walked into the kitchen.
"Look who came for a visit?" said Bulma. Right next to her was Gohan and a lady that Laura has never seen before.
"Oh sorry about that Laura" said Bulma. "This is Gohan's wife Videl. Videl this is Trunks girlfriend Laura."
"Hi it's nice to meet you," said Laura.
"It's nice to meet you to," said Videl smiling.
"Gohan where's Pan?" asked Trunks.
"She was just here," said Gohan looking for her.
"I'm right here," said Pan jumping on Trunks back.
"Pan you stinker," said Trunks taking Pan off his back. "Pan this is my girlfriend Laura. Laura this is Pan"
"Hi Pan it's nice to meet you," said Laura.
"Hi" said Pan shyly.
"Would you like a ride on my shoulders?" asked Laura.
"Yeah" squealed Pan. She jumped out of Trunks arms and went on Laura's shoulders.
"We'll be back soon," said Laura walking out of the kitchen.
"Bye Mom" said Pan laughing.
"Have fun sweetheart," said Videl. "Your girlfriend is really nice Trunks."
"Thank you Videl" said Trunks. "She's the best thing that ever came into my life."
"She's great with kids" said Videl. "She would make a great mother."
"Yeah she would," said Trunks smiling.
"So Trunks when are you going to pop the question?" asked Bulma smiling.
"Mom" said Trunks embarrassed.
"Well we all know that you're going to do it" said Bulma.
"Alright I wasn't going to tell you yet," said Trunks. "But I'm going to do it on our birthday."
"Oh Trunks" said Bulma hugging him. "I'm so happy for you. I know that you'll be happy with her."
"Thanks mom" said Trunks "I have permission from you and dad right?"
"Of course you do," said Bulma. "Your father gave his approval a long time ago. He loves Laura like if she was his own daughter."
"Well that's good to know," said Trunks. "I want dad to like her because she told me that her dad died when she was little, so ever since then her mom's been raising her and her sister. So I wanted dad to be like a father that she never had. I really want to meet her family."
"How about when you and Laura have fall break, then you can go meet them," said Bulma.
"That's a good idea," said Trunks. "I'll ask her first though."
After they stopped talking, Laura came back into the kitchen with Pan bouncing on her shoulders. Laura sat down and put Pan in her lap. She started yawning, and fell asleep cuddled up on Laura's lap.
"That was something," said Videl. "We can never get her to take a nap."
"I guess she had so much fun with me that she tired herself out" said Laura.
"Well I guess it's time for us to go," said Videl taking Pan from Laura's lap.
"Come back any time," said Bulma walking them out.
"Oh and Videl" said Laura. "If you ever need a babysitter for Pan I'd be happy to watch her."
"That's a great idea Laura," said Videl. "I'll call you if I need one."
"Bye you guys," said Bulma watching them leave. "Well wasn't that nice of them to visit."
"Yeah" said Laura. "It was fun watching Pan. I felt like I was watching my sister all over again."
"Did you guys have a nice bike ride?" asked Bulma.
"Yeah it cleared my mind of everything," said Laura.
"Hey Laura let's go in the backyard I want to tell you something."
"Alright Trunks" said Laura. She followed Trunks out of the kitchen, and towards the backyard.
"Let's go sit on the bench" said Trunks. Laura walked over to the bench and sat down next to Trunks.
"You know how we can't go to sleep without being next to each other," said Trunks. She shook her head. "Well it's because were bonding. When I'm the right age, my Saiyan side starts taking over and I start looking for a wife, and we start going through stages. We already went through the first two. Well the first one is the sleeping part; we can't be away from each other without feeling some loneliness. The second stage is we can feel each other's emotions. The reason why you've been having the nightmares is because I'm scared of dying, and your feeling that I'm scared which makes you have the nightmares. Now there are other stages after that, but my dad said that when we reach the next stage he'd tell me the rest. Laura started crying. What's wrong Laura?"
"Nothing's wrong I'm just happy to be with you," said Laura. "I have to tell you something also."
"What is it Laura" said Trunks.
"I didn't come here for better schooling," said Laura. "I came here because in my time the prophecy came true. When a girl becomes the right age and is strong, she'll start dreaming pure dreams, and when the dream is pure enough she starts glowing and is taken to her true love. You're my true love Trunks."
Trunks looked at her in shock. I knew there was something different about her.
"Why didn't you tell me this before" said Trunks.
"I didn't think that you would love me or even believe me if I told you from the start" said Laura.
"Laura you know that would have never happened" said Trunks.
"Oh come on Trunks," said Laura. "If I told you about this when I first saw you, would you have believed me?"
"I guess your right," said Trunks. "I probably would have thought that you were crazy."
"I'm not done yet," said Laura. "In my time you're a cartoon character. So are your mom, and dad, and everybody else. It's called Dragonball Z. So I already know everything about you and your family, but not anything personal like what you like and everything else. I know things like your future self came here to the past to give Goku medicine for his heart, and that he killed Frieza and his dad. I also know that when he came you were still a baby. I already know that your going to have a sister when you mom has the baby, and she's going to name it Rose. The show started from when Radditz came to earth to find Goku and he kidnapped Gohan. That's the first time Goku died. I know that you and Goten fused to be Gotenks, and that you helped your dad fight Buu, and that was the first time that your dad said the he was proud of you."
"OMG" said Trunks. "That's all true every bit of it. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Like I said before you would have thought that I was a freak, and that you would have never fell in love with me" said Laura
"Does my mom know about this?" asked Trunks.
"Yes she knows," said Laura. "Your dad knows also."
"I have something else to tell you," said Trunks. "The night before you came, I had a dream about you. You were just standing there smiling at me like something was going to happen. Now I realize that it was a sign that you were coming. That's why when I first saw you I was in shock."
"Are you mad at me Trunks for not telling you?" asked Laura.
"No I'm not mad, just shocked," said Trunks. "I love you Laura, and I would never be mad at you."
"I love you too Trunks with all my heart" said Laura. "My family is the only one that goes through this prophecy. So when my sister turns 17 she'll go through this also. No one knows who their true love is except the person that's going through it."
"How did I become your true love?" asked Trunks.
"Ever since they started showing the episodes of you on TV, you have always been my favorite character. If you ever saw my room, it's covered head to toe with pictures of you. My friends always thought that I was crazy, being in love with a cartoon character, but I never listened to them, I always had hope."
"Thank you for telling me this Laura" said Trunks.
"I thought it was the right time to tell you," said Laura.
"I love you even more for telling me the truth," said Trunks. Trunks got closer to Laura. He cupped her head in his hands, and kissed her softly on the lips. A spark of electricity went through Laura's mouth making her whole body warm. It was her first kiss, and it was with the boy that she loved. The kiss lasted for a couple of seconds longer, and then Trunks pulled away from her. Laura just looked up at him lovingly.
: Wow that was amazing Laura: said to herself. : You got that right: said Trunks thinking.
"Trunks" said Laura.
: Yeah Laura: said Trunks through his bond.
"I just heard what you just said, and you weren't talking" said Laura.
"Can you still hear what I'm saying?" said Trunks
"Yeah you just said that I was beautiful," said Laura.
: Wow this must be the next stage that my dad told me. He said that we would be able to hear each other's thoughts, and that we would be able to speak telepathically to each other: said Trunks to Laura.
: I like doing this: said Laura. : Now whenever we talk to each other, your parents don't have to hear what were saying:
: We should go see my dad: said Trunks to Laura. : He said that when we got to the next stage that he would tell us the rest:
: Ok let's go then: said Laura through her bond. They both got up and went to go look for Vegeta.
They already knew where he was; he was in the gravity room as always Vegeta only comes out when he's tired, or when he's hungry. Laura went up to the door and pushed the intercom button.
"Vegeta" said Laura.
"What is it?" asked Vegeta.
"We need to talk to you," said Laura.
: Oh yeah that was nice Laura now he's never going to come out now: Trunks said through his bond.
: Hey I heard that and just wait a minute he'll come out: she said to Trunks.
"Alright hold on," said Vegeta. He turned off the gravity room and walked outside.
: See I told you: said Laura through her bond.
"What is it?" asked Vegeta.
"We got to the next stage dad," said Trunks. "You said that when we reached it, you would tell us the rest."
"What I'm about to tell you your going to have to listen carefully," said Vegeta. Since you're so far into the bond you can't get out of it. If one of you tries which I don't think that you will, the other one will die. Now the next stage has to do with the full moon, when the full moon comes, you will grow your tail back. When you get your tail back that's when you'll start getting protected of Laura when boys or even friends are around. Because the stages will be almost done at that point."
"Dad when does the full moon come?" asked Trunks.
"The full moon usually comes sometime in July" said Vegeta.
"Wow" said Trunks. "That's all going to happen?"
"Yes" said Vegeta. "That's everything I have to tell you."
"Ok thanks dad" said Trunks.
"Your welcome" said Vegeta. Then he went back inside the gravity room and started training.
"I can't wait till you get your tail back" Laura said to Trunks while they were walking back to his room. "You're going to look so cute. I can just picture you with a tail. Did you ever have one Trunks?"
"Yeah I was born with one, but my mom didn't want anybody seeing me with one, so she had it removed" he told Laura.
"Oww didn't that hurt?" she said.
"I wouldn't know I was a baby, but I can bet that it hurt," said Trunks
"I'm going to check if my sister emailed me back," said Laura sitting down.
"Ok Laura" said Trunks sitting down right by her. She went to her screen name and looked to see if she had any new email. She did it was from her sister.
Dear Sis,
OMG he's soo cute! I wish I had someone like him. Mom's glad that you're happy, she's also happy to know where you are. I think she was starting to get worried. Your friends came around awhile ago. I sent my picture over, so that when you're done reading this you can show Trunks. I took his picture and put in a frame, so now I can look at him any time that I want. You sure you don't want to trade him with me? LOL just kidding I know that you would never do that. I still miss you. Visit soon.
Luv ya,
Heather.
Laura clicked on the button to show the picture. Her sister's email went away, and the picture started appearing on the screen.
"That's what my sister Heather looks like," said Laura showing Trunks.
"She looks allot like you" said Trunks.
"You think so?" asked Laura.
"Yeah she has your smile, and some of your facial features," said Trunks. "The only thing about her is she doesn't look like she's strong, and that you're a lot taller then her."
"She never wanted to train with me" said Laura. "She said that she didn't want to fight. But I told her that if she trained with me, then if anybody bothered her, she would know how to fight back, but I guess she doesn't want to do that."
"I guess some people just don't want to be like that," said Trunks.
"Maybe she'll change when she gets a little bit older," said Laura. "What time is it?"
Trunks looked over towards his clock. "It's 5:00," he said.
"I'm hungry," said Laura. "I'm going to go downstairs and make myself a sandwich."
"Ok" said Trunks. "I'm going to stay here and rest awhile."
"Ok Trunks" said Laura. "I'll bring you back some sandwiches." Laura left his room and headed downstairs towards the kitchen. Trunks plopped himself on his bed, and thought about what just happened the last two days. : I will not be afraid anymore. I don't want Laura going through anymore of those nightmares. They probably scare her to death even thinking about them:
While Laura was heading downstairs, she heard everything that Trunks was just thinking about. : Yeah he doesn't even know how much those dreams scare me to death. He's so sweet to think about my concerns first: When she got to the kitchen, Vegeta was in there making a sandwich for himself.
"Hi Vegeta" said Laura opening up the refriduator. "Let me guess, you just got out of the gravity room and you're starving."
"You're exactly right" said Vegeta starting on his fifth sandwich.
"I haven't had anything to eat yet today, so I'm starving" said Laura making her sandwich.
"Where's Trunks?" asked Vegeta.
"He's upstairs," said Laura. "He didn't want to come down."
"Can you please tell him that when he's feels better, and I hope he's all better now, to please start training again. I want him to train with me later."
"Ok Vegeta" said Laura heading back upstairs with hers and Trunks sandwiches. "Hey can I watch you and Trunks spar?"
"I guess," said Vegeta. "If you want you can train with us."
"Really, cool I'll do that," said Laura running back up the stairs to Trunks rooms.
: The simplest things to make woman happy: said Vegeta to himself while he was walking back to the gravity room.
"Here you go," said Laura giving Trunks some of her sandwiches.
"Someone's really happy," said Trunks biting into his sandwich.
"Your dad wants you to train with him later" said Laura. "And he said that I can train with you guys. I've always wanted to do that."
"I think that's a great idea," said Trunks. "Now we can see just how strong you are. Hey Laura, how much more do you know about us?"
"Well they didn't show all the episodes yet," said Laura. They're on reruns, and I hate when they do that. Soon they will be showing the rest of them. They stopped at where there's going to be a Martial Artist Tournament soon, in like a year."
"Oh yeah" said Trunks. "I forgot that there's going to be one next summer. Oh I forgot to ask you something."
"What is it Trunks?" asked Laura.
"How about during fall break we go visit your family and friends," said Trunks.
"Sure that's a great idea," said Laura. "I said that I would visit soon and that's the perfect time."
"Those were good," said Trunks patting his stomach. "Let's go see if my dad wants us to train with him now?"
"Ok let's go" said Laura. They left Trunks room, and headed towards the gravity room.
Before they got to the gravity room, Trunks and Laura put on some training clothes, so that while they trained they would get stronger. When they got to the gravity room, Laura didn't even have to push the intercom button; Vegeta opened the door, and let them in. He went over to the gravity button and turned it back on.
"How much can you stand?" asked Vegeta
"I don't know," said Laura. "I've never been in the gravity room before."
"Let's start it at 100 times earth's gravity and see how you do" said Vegeta. He turned it up to 100 times and waited for it to work. Laura felt the weight under her change, but it didn't affect her. She started punching and kicking to the change of the gravity without dropping to the ground.
"I'm fine in this Vegeta," said Laura moving around.
"Let's change it to 200" said Vegeta. He turned the knob up a little bit more to 200. Laura slid down a little bit, but got back up. Vegeta turned it up to 400. Laura went crashing down to the floor. The gravity change really affected her this time. She struggled to get back on her feet. When she finally did she was panting.
"Let's start fighting now," said Vegeta. It was Trunks and Laura against Vegeta.
"You sure you can take this Laura" said Trunks.
"Yeah don't worry I'll be fine" said Laura. They started charging towards Vegeta. Laura kicked him, but he block it, Vegeta went back and forth blocking their punches and kicks. Laura was having a hard time blocking all of Vegeta's hits, because of the gravity change, but she hung in and went after Vegeta. Trunks had no problem inside the gravity room; he was used to 400 times earth's gravity. He was just worried that Laura wouldn't be able to handle it. Suddenly Laura got this huge surge of energy, and went charging towards Vegeta. He couldn't see her with her speed, and she punched him in the stomach. Vegeta went flying backwards and hit the side of the room hard. Trunks turned to look at Laura; she had anger in her eyes like she wanted to hurt someone. Vegeta got up slowly: how did she do that he: said to himself. : I didn't even see that coming, she even hurt me, and Trunks can't even do that: When Vegeta looked over to Laura she still had the anger in her eyes. : Why is she angry, I must have hit something in her that made her like this? I got an idea: Vegeta started insulting her family, which made her even more pissed: What is dad doing: said Trunks to himself?
"NO ONE INSULTS MY FAMILY," said Laura as she powered up. : OMG: said Trunks to himself: how can a human have so much power, Krillen and Yamcha don't even have this much: Vegeta powered up to Super Saiyan. He charged after Laura and tried to punch her, but Laura blocked all of his moves. She kicked and punched him making him fly back towards the wall again. Laura was still really angry and powered up again, Trunks was watching her when he saw that her eyes and hair were changing color. Her hair was going back and forth between blond and brown, and her eyes were going back in forth between blue and green.
"He will pay," she said getting angrier. "I will make him pay." She suddenly transformed, her hair was blond and sticking up and her eyes were blue.
"OMG she's a Super Saiyan" yelled Trunks. Vegeta looked up at Laura weakly. : I knew she wasn't human: he said to himself.
"You will pay Vegeta," said Laura walking over to him. "No one insults my family." She kicked him in the stomach and punched him in the face with so much force, that he broke the wall and went flying out of it, finally crashing into a tree. Laura had no energy left, fell to the ground, and transformed back to herself.
"Laura, Laura" yelled Trunks as he rushed over to her. There was blood coming from her lip and head from fighting Vegeta, and there were cuts and bruises all over. She was unconscious from using all her energy. "I have to get her in the house" Trunks said out loud. Trunks picked up Laura, and went over to see how his dad was. He was in bad shape, worse then Laura. Trunks ran out of the room, and banged into Gohan.
"What are you doing here?" he said quickly. Behind Gohan was his dad, his brother, Piccolo, Krillen, and Yamcha.
"We felt a huge source of energy coming from here" said Gohan. "We thought it was a new enemy. What happened to Laura?"
"I can't talk now," said Trunks. "I have to get her into the healing machine. I'll tell you everything later once I help her. Take my dad and put him in one too." Trunks then ran off toward the hospital wing. He was running as fast as he could to get to the healing room. "Its ok Laura" he said to her. "You'll be ok soon." He finally got to the healing room; he opened the door of the healing machine, and quickly hooked up Laura to it. He then closed it and pushed the button to start it. Laura was really injured bad the line was half way on the red. A couple of minutes later, Gohan came in with Vegeta over his shoulder, he put Vegeta in the machine and turned it on. Vegeta was hurt a lot more then Laura was. The line was all the way by the red.
Bulma heard a lot of commotion and went down to the healing room. When she finally got there she saw that Laura and Vegeta were in the healing machine.
"What happened?" asked Bulma running over to the machines.
"That's what we liked to know Bulma," said Gohan.
"Alright you guys," said Trunks. "You're going to want to sit down with what I have to tell you." Everybody sat down while Trunks started the story. "Dad wanted me to train with him later, and Laura asked him if she could watch us spar, he said it was alright and suggested that if she wanted, she could train with us. So Laura and I went into the gravity room with dad. He asked her what she could stand; she told him that she didn't know, so he started it off at 100 times gravity. Laura was fine in 100 times so he turned it to 200 she slipped a little, but she was fine, so then he turned it up to 400 times gravity, and that time it really affected her. She struggled to get up, but she did and then that's when we started fighting. Dad was blocking all of our moves. Then Laura got all this energy and charged towards dad. He didn't see her coming and she punched him in the stomach. Dad went flying back towards the wall, and when I looked at Laura she had anger in her eyes. Dad turned Super, and started insulting her family. She got really pissed and starting powering up. That's probably what you guys were feeling. Dad went after Laura, but couldn't hit her, she punched and kicked him and he went flying back into the wall again. Then she started powering up again, but this time she turned Super herself. Then she said that dad would pay for insulting her family. She kicked him again and with such force, that he went flying out of the gravity room, and smashed into a tree. Then Laura fell to the ground unconscious from using all her energy. So I brought her here to put her in healing machine."
Once Trunks was done talking, everyone had shocked expressions on her face.
"I knew it," said Gohan. "I knew when I first saw her she wasn't all human."
"When she gets out I'll take a blood sample from her to see if she's all Saiyan or half" said Bulma.
"Wow" said Goten. "Who would have known that a girl could have so much power?"
"Why don't you all go home?" said Trunks. "If anything happens I'll come get you, or my mom will contact you."
"Alright" said Gohan. "Will see you soon."
"I'll see you guys out," said Bulma giving Trunks some time with Laura.
