Chapter 9
It wasn't till seven in the morning that Laura's healing machine went off. Trunks was sleeping at the time, but when the machine started beeping it woke him up. He turned towards the machine and waited till she got out. When she stepped out she turned to look at Trunks.
"Hi sweetheart" said Trunks. "Are you feeling better?"
"What happened?" asked Laura yawning.
"It's a long story," said Trunks. "Let's just say you beat the crap out of my dad, and that you're a Saiyan."
"I'm a what?" said Laura shocked.
"You turned into a Super Saiyan while we were in the gravity room," said Trunks. "Don't you remember anything?"
"No I don't" said Laura. "All I remember is that I was trying to beat your dad and that's it."
"Well you certainly did that," said Trunks. "Come here." Laura walked over to Trunks. He gave her a huge hug and a kiss.
"So I'm really a Saiyan," said Laura sitting down on Trunks lap.
"Yeah" said Trunks. "You turned Super, you really scared me."
"Why?" asked Laura.
"Well the look in your eyes, you looked like your were going to hurt someone" said Trunks.
"I don't know if I should be angry or excited right now," said Laura. "I'm mad because my mom never told about who I am, and I'm excited because I'm just like you now."
"Let's go find my mom," said Trunks. "She said that when you got out, she was going to take a blood sample to see if you were a full blooded Saiyan, or a half Saiyan."
"Ok Trunks" said Laura. "How bad did I hurt your dad?"
"Really bad" said Trunks. "He was hurt a lot worse then you were."
"When he gets out I'm going to apologize for hurting him so bad" said Laura.
"Well it really isn't your fault," said Trunks. "The reason why he made you so angry was that he started insulting your family, and that's what made you so mad."
"Well I'm going to apologize anyway," said Laura.
"Ok Laura" said Trunks. "Let's go find my mom." Trunks and Laura left the hospital wing, and went to go find Bulma.
Bulma was in her room when she heard a knock on the door. She got up and went to go open the door, when she did she found Trunks and Laura standing there.
"Laura" said Bulma giving Laura a hug. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm ok now Bulma" said Laura.
"Mom you said that when Laura got out of the healing machine, that you would take a blood sample from her" said Trunks.
"Alright Trunks" said Bulma. "Laura are you afraid of getting your blood taken?"
"No" said Laura. "I've gotten my blood taken plenty of times and it doesn't bother me. I even watch them take my blood."
"Well that's good" said Bulma. "At least you're not like Goku. He's afraid of needles."
"Yeah I know my sister doesn't like them either," said Laura.
"Well let's go," said Bulma.
"Ok Bulma" said Laura.
Bulma led Trunks and Laura to her lab were half of it was a doctor's office. Her lab was crammed with different inventions from small objects to large ones.
"Sit down over here," said Bulma pointing to the table. Laura walked over to the table and sat down. Trunks went right next to Laura and sat down on one of the chairs. Bulma went over to the cabinet and took out everything that she needed.
"I guess I don't have to tell you that it's going to hurt a little bit," said Bulma getting everything ready.
"Yeah I guess not," said Laura laughing. Bulma put the strap on Laura's arm to find a vein. She started poking around on Laura's arm to find a good vein to draw blood from, but she couldn't find one. So she took the strap off and put it on her other arm. Once she did that she still couldn't find a vein.
"Jeez Laura what's with your veins" said Bulma.
"Opps sorry Bulma I should have told you before that I have deep veins," said Laura. "My mom told me that I got them from my dad."
"Now you tell me," said Bulma laughing. Bulma put the strap on Laura's right arm again one last time, this time she finally found a vein. She put rubbing alcohol on the section where she was going to put the needle. Then she placed the needle in the vein and pushed the bottle up so that the blood would come out. Laura only felt a pinch like all the other times it wasn't so bad. Once Bulma got all the blood she needed from Laura, she took the needle out and threw it away.
"Ok Laura you're all done" said Bulma. "I'll have this blood test back in a couple of hours."
"Thanks Bulma" said Laura.
"Your welcome Laura" said Bulma. "So what are you and Trunks going to do today?"
"Well right now I'm going to get something to eat," said Laura. "I'm really hungry."
"Ok" said Bulma laughing. "I'll come get you when the test comes back in.
"Ok mom" said Trunks.
Trunks and Laura left Bulma's lab, and headed to the kitchen. Bulma took Laura's blood sample, and went into a spare office in her lab. She put the sample into a machine and pushed the button to start it. When Laura and Trunks got to the kitchen, Laura opened the freezer and took out some ice cream. She got two spoons from the cabinet and gave one to Trunks, and then she sat down and started digging in.
"Hey Laura" said Trunks while they were eating. "Do you think that you're a full blooded Saiyan, or half Saiyan?"
"Honestly I really don't know" said Laura. "My guess is that I'm half Saiyan."
"Why do you think that your mom didn't tell you?" said Trunks.
"I don't know," said Laura. "Maybe she wanted me to find out for myself."
"It's kinda weird," said Trunks. In your dimension were cartoons and were not real, but if were not real in your time then how could you be a Saiyan. I mean in my time yeah I can understand it, but it's just weird."
"Yeah I know what you're saying," said Laura throwing out the carton of ice cream. "When I was little I always wanted to be a Saiyan, and throw ki balls from my hand, but I never thought that I was actually one. I even tried to teach myself to fly, from that one episode where Gohan was teaching his brother and Videl to fly, but it didn't work."
"Well will find out what you are soon, but what do you want to do in the mean time?" asked Trunks.
"I don't know," said Laura. "How about we go listen to some music?"
"Sure that's a great idea," said Trunks. "Let's go up to my room." Laura followed Trunks up to his room. Trunks took out his chest that had all his CD's in.
"You can pick what ever you want," said Trunks stepping back so she can look.
"Thanks" said Laura. She started looking around till she found the CD she was looking for. Laura took the Linkin Park CD from Trunks chest, and placed it into her CD player.
"I love their music," said Laura singing along to one of their songs.
"Me too" said Trunks he was listening to Creed.
They continued to listen to music for another hour till they heard a knock on the door. Trunks turned off his CD player and went to go see that it was. When he opened the door his mom was standing there with an envelope in her hands.
"Hi Mom" said Trunks standing right by her.
"Hi Trunks" said Bulma. "Laura your blood test came in."
"Really" said Laura taking her headphones off.
"Yeah" said Bulma. "Let's go downstairs, everybody is waiting for the results also."
"What do you mean Bulma?" said Laura confused.
"You haven't told her yet Trunks," said Bulma.
"Told me what Bulma," said Laura looking at Trunks.
"I'm sorry Laura," said Trunks "I was concentrating on when you were going to get out of the healing machine so much that it slipped me mind. When I was taking you out of the gravity room after you collapsed, I ran into Gohan. He was there with his brother, dad, Piccolo, Yamcha, and Krillen. They felt you powering up in the gravity room, and came because they thought it was a new enemy. So I told them if anything new happened, that I would tell them or mom would call them."
"Oh I understand now," said Laura "I guess we should go downstairs then." Laura followed Trunks and Bulma downstairs and into the living room, where like Bulma said everybody was waiting.
"Hi everybody" said Trunks as he and Laura sat down by Bulma.
"Hi Trunks" said Gohan. "Hello Laura"
"Hi Gohan" said Laura.
"Yamcha, Krillen this is my girlfriend Laura" said Trunks.
"Hi Laura it's nice to meet you," said Krillen.
"It's nice to meet you too' said Laura smiling.
"Alright everybody we all know why were here," said Bulma. She took out the piece of paper from the envelope. Everybody was waiting in suspense; they all wanted to know.
"Well it says that Laura's Half Saiyan," said Bulma reading the results.
"I knew that she was a Saiyan," said Vegeta walking into the room.
"Vegeta when did you get out of the healing machine" said Bulma turning towards him to give him a hug.
"A couple of minutes ago" said Vegeta. Vegeta went over and put his hand on Laura's shoulder. "You should be proud that you're a Saiyan. Another person from a long line of a strong race."
"Thank you Vegeta" said Laura looking up at him. "All I want to know now is who my dad is, and why my mom didn't tell me."
"Well we'll find that out soon when we go visit your mom," said Trunks.
"Um… Laura" said Goten.
"What is it Goten?" asked Laura.
"Can I see what you look like as a Super Saiyan?" said Goten. Laura looked over at Trunks he shook his head.
"If anybody else wants to see I'm going in the backyard," said Laura heading outside.
Everybody got up and followed Laura outside. Once they got outside, Laura went into the middle of the yard. Everyone sat down to watch her transform.
"I got an idea," said Laura. "How about anyone who can turn into a Super Saiyan to line up besides me and we'll go one by one."
Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks all went over by Laura. Pan would have joined them, but she didn't know how to transform yet, plus she was still too little.
"Ok you ready," said Laura looking at them. They all shook their heads. Vegeta started it off; he gathered his energy and transformed. Then Goku and the rest of them did it till it was Laura's turn. She powered up and transformed into a Super Saiyan. When she stopped powering up everybody turned to look at her. They were amazed to see a girl turn into a Super Saiyan.
"Wow" said Trunks looking at her. "You look amazing." Seeing another guy turn into a Super Saiyan was nothing, but seeing a girl was amazing.
"I'd say she's the prettiest out of all of you," said Bulma. Everyone started to laugh. Suddenly they all heard someone's stomach growl.
"Sorry guys" said Goku grinning. "I'm starting to get hungry."
"You will never change," said Bulma. "How about everyone stays and I'll throw a huge barbecue,"
"I say that sounds like a great idea," said Goku talking fast.
"That settles it," said Bulma. "I'll start bringing everything out. Vegeta come help me."
"Do I have to" said Vegeta whining.
"If you don't want to sleep on the couch, then stay here" said Bulma glaring at him.
"It's ok Bulma I'll help you," said Laura.
"Thank you Laura" said Bulma. "At least there's someone decent around here unlike some people." Laura followed Bulma inside to get the food.
"Hey dad" said Trunks once Laura went inside.
"Yeah" said Vegeta turning towards him.
"Didn't you tell me that female Saiyans are stronger then male Saiyans" said Trunks.
"Are you serious?" said Goten joining the conversation.
"Trunks is right," said Vegeta. "They are a lot stronger then males. They would have to be when they're giving birth, or else they would die."
"Well then what about Bulma and mom?" said Goten.
"Strong humans can handle it," said Vegeta. "Plus Half Saiyans are not as bad as a full blooded Saiyan." When they were done talking, Laura and Bulma came outside with a ton of food. They put all the food on tables by the grill.
"Alright everyone" said Bulma. "This will all be done soon. So go do something till the food is done."
"Laura" said Bulma. "Ya know I'm going to have to get used to you being a Super Saiyan. I've never seen a girl transform, I don't think anyone has."
"I'm sure that you'll get used to it soon," said Laura turning back into her normal self. "So what do we got today for the Saiyans to eat?"
"Oh about five of everything in the world" said Bulma laughing. "Why don't you go join everyone else and see what there doing."
"Are you sure Bulma, I could help you?" said Laura.
"I'll be fine go on," said Bulma.
"Ok Bulma" said Laura heading towards Trunks and the others.
"Alright what do you guys want to do?" asked Laura.
"I don't know," said Trunks. "Let's play a game."
"What are you suggesting?" said Laura.
"Uh…I don't know it just sounded right," said Trunks.
"I want to spar with Laura," said Goten.
"Are you up to it Laura" said Trunks.
"Yeah I'm fine," said Laura. "Ok Goten it's a deal, but I don't want you to go easy on me just because I'm a girl. I'm not going to go easy on you either."
"Ok" said Goten.
"Let's go to the gravity room Goten," said Laura. "If you guys want to come watch us you can."
"I know I do," said Vegeta. "I want to see Laura beat the crap out of him."
"Hey Vegeta that's not very nice" said Goku.
"Well you know that she's going to," said Vegeta.
"Yeah I know but," said Goku.
"Aw thanks a lot dad for giving me confidence" said Goten.
"It's not my fault blame it on Vegeta" said Goku.
Everybody started laughing and followed Laura to the gravity room. Vegeta, Goku, and Trunks sat down on the bench that was in the gravity room. They knew that they were going to see a good fight. Laura and Goten got into there fighting position.
"You ready?" said Laura.
"Sure am," said Goten.
Laura charged towards Goten and punched him in the face. Goten flew back and hit the wall. He got up and flew towards Laura, he tried to kick her, but she blocked it and kicked him in the stomach. Goten got up and headed towards Laura. They started kicking and punching each other. One after another the blocked each other's hits. Laura was getting bored so she powered up. Goten did the same and they continued their spar. Goten started to get really tired, he didn't know how much more he could take, Laura was a lot stronger then he was. Laura wanted to end the spar now so she turned Super and kicked him; Goten went flying into the wall. Laura went back to normal, she knew that she won.
Laura went over to Goten and helped him get up. He got up and they headed over to where the rest of them were.
"Nice job Goten" said Laura. "You gave me a nice work out."
"I'd say you gave me more of a workout," said Goten laughing.
From outside they heard Bulma saying that the food was ready, so they walked out of the gravity room and went back into the backyard.
After everybody had there meal and left, Laura went upstairs to get ready for bed. She was trying to take in everything that she found out today, from finding out about the bond that she and Trunks has, to being a Half Saiyan. A couple of minutes later Trunks came in to his room. He could tell that Laura was upset about something.
"What's wrong Laura?" asked Trunks.
"I was just trying to take in everything that I found out today said Laura. "Plus I'm feeling kinda homesick."
"Don't worry Laura you'll find out all your answers when we go visit your mom" said Trunks.
"Yeah I know" said Laura smiling.
"Goodnight sweetheart" said Trunks kissing her forehead.
"Goodnight my prince" said Laura.
