Chapter 13

Trunks and Laura had a very good Thanksgiving. Laura made sure that she called her mother and said Happy Thanksgiving to her mom and sister. They couldn't believe that a month could go so fast and that they were already on there winter break. It was a week before Christmas. Trunks and Laura were out Christmas shopping. They split up when they got to the mall, so that they could get each other gifts. After 2 hours in the mall, they headed back to Capsule Corp. Back at the house Bulma was decorating every room for Christmas, she was putting mistletoe everywhere so that everyone could show there affection on Christmas. When they got home, Bulma was all done. Capsule Corp looked amazing, Bulma always went out of her way each year to make holidays special.

It was Christmas Eve, and everybody was in great sprits. Laura woke up to it snowing outside. She quickly turned over and tried to wake Trunks up.

"Trunks, Trunks wake up" said Laura excited.

"Huh, what is it Laura?" asked Trunks.

"Look outside" said Laura. Trunks got up and looked out through the balcony.

"Wow" said Trunks. "It's snowing."

"I haven't seen so much snow before" said Laura. "I mean I've always seen snow during the winter, but the most we get is like 6 inches."

"Merry Christmas Eve" said Trunks giving Laura a kiss.

"Same to you" said Laura smiling. "Hey Trunks can I ask you something?"

"Sure ask away" said Trunks.

"Well with my family on Christmas our tradition is that we open our presents on Christmas Eve, is it ok if we do that this year. I'd like to share my traditions with u."

"Sure Laura" said Trunks. "I think that's a great idea, I really don't like waiting till Christmas Day to open Presents. I don't have the patience."

"Thank you" said Laura.

"I'd do anything for you" said Trunks kissing her forehead. "Let's go downstairs and have some breakfast.

"Ok" said Laura.

When they got downstairs, Bulma was already making breakfast.

"Good morning you too" said Bulma. "Merry Christmas Eve. "All ready for the big Christmas Eve party tonight."

"Yeah I can't wait" said Laura smiling.

"Here you go guys, a big breakfast" said Bulma handing them there food.

"Thanks Mom" said Trunks. Trunks was just smiling to himself. He had such a big present for Laura, and He knew that she would love it. What he didn't know was that Laura had a big present tonight also.

The party came very quickly. Everybody was coming to Capsule Corp tonight. Laura was upstairs getting ready, so was everybody else. Laura was wearing a black dress that had slits up each side. She was wearing her medallion necklace, and had her hair in curls. When she was done, she went downstairs to answer the door, since she heard the door bell ring. She opened the door; it was Goten and his family.

"Hi everybody Merry Christmas Eve" said Laura.

"Merry Christmas Eve to you Laura" said Chi-Chi giving her a hug. "You look so pretty tonight."

"Thank you" said Laura smiling. By that time Trunks came downstairs to see who arrived.

"There's my angel" said Trunks walking over to Laura.

"Looks like my Prince found me" said Laura smiling. Soon after Goten's family arrived Krillens family, Yamcha, and Piccolo arrived. When everybody got there, the party started. Music started blasting and people were just having a great time. Bulma and Laura made everything you could think for dinner. No one knew where to start. After dinner everyone was stuffed and in great sprits. It was just about time to open presents. Trunks told his mom about what Laura suggested, and she thought it was a great idea.

"Alright everyone let's go open our presents" said Bulma. It was 11:00 at night, and Bulma thought that it was late enough to open up the presents. Everybody went into the living room where the tree was. Once everyone passed out there presents, they were allowed to open them. Trunks gave Laura a beautiful diamond necklace, her favorite clothes, and a bracelet to match it. Laura gave Trunks some of his favorite CD's that he's been wanting, his favorite clothes, and another ring that she knew he would love.

"Here Laura" said Trunks. Trunks gave here a small box. "Go open it outside. Laura went outside and opened the box, inside was a capsule, she push down the button, and threw it on the ground.

"OMG my favorite car" said Laura rushing towards it. It was a red convertible, her favorite car that she always wanted.

"Thank you Trunks" said Laura giving him a huge hug.

"Your welcome" said Trunks giving her a kiss.

After everyone had opened there presents, Trunks stood up.

"I have one more present for you Laura" said Trunks. "You can come in now." Everyone looked over to where Trunks was standing. From outside a man started walking into the room. Laura's medallion started glowing. When he finally came into the living room, he stopped. Laura looked at him closely and then looked at her necklace.

"Daddy?" said Laura. The man just moved closer to Laura.

"My Princess" said the man smiling.

"DADDY" said Laura rushing into his arms. Her father came back. Laura started crying, she was so happy. "I missed you so much." Everyone had tears in there eyes, there were happy to see Laura with her father again.

"I missed you too sweetheart" said Darien.

"How did you come back?" asked Laura as she calmed down.

"Well I think I can explain that" said Trunks coming over by Laura. "A couple of days ago I gathered all the dragonballs and wished your dad back. At first the dragon said that he couldn't come back, because he died of natural causes, but I got him to pull some strings, and he came back. I told your dad that I was a friend of yours, and that you were missing him a lot. I told him to lower his ki, so that you wouldn't figure it out. He's been living at Goten's for the past two days."

"Thank you Trunks, I love you soo much" said Laura giving him a kiss. "This is the best present ever."

"Your welcome" said Trunks hugging her. "I thought you would be happy to have your dad back."

"Well I guess you can see that Trunks is my boyfriend daddy" said Laura.

"Well actually I could already tell when he wished me back" said Darien. "When he said that he was a friend of yours, I knew that it was more then a friendship."

Being the person that Vegeta was, he missed the whole reunion and decided to come back into the room. When he did he stopped in shock.

"Darien" said Vegeta looking at him.

"Prince Vegeta" said Darien bowing. Vegeta started laughing.

"It's ok Darien you don't need to address me like that anymore" said Vegeta. "Were not on Planet Vegeta anymore. You can just call me Vegeta.

"I'm sorry" said Darien laughing. "I'm just so used to calling you that."

"It's great to see you again Darien" said Vegeta giving him a hug.

"Same with you Vegeta" said Darien.

"How did you come back to life?" asked Vegeta.

"Trunks wished him back Vegeta" said Laura.

"Good job son" said Vegeta. "Looks like you gave the best present this year."

"Trunks is your son?" said Darien confused.

"Yes" said Vegeta. "I've been on earth for a long time already. Everybody here showed me how to love things all over again, and that's how I met my wife Bulma." Bulma came over to stand by him. "I'm also going to be a daddy again soon."

"Congratulations Vegeta" said Darien.

"Thank you" said Vegeta.

"Ohhhhh I hate to break up this reunion even though it is for me" said Laura. "But, I do have one last present and it's both for Vegeta and Trunks."

"Now what could be better then this present" said Trunks.

"Oh you'll see" said Laura. "Come on in." Everybody turned to the same place where Laura's dad came through. A man came into the room, and he looked just like Vegeta.

"Father" said Vegeta walking over to him.

"Hello son" said Vegeta's dad.

"King Vegeta" said Darien once again bowing.

"Grandfather" said Trunks giving him a hug.

"Grandfather?" said King Vegeta confused.

"Father that's my son Trunks" said Vegeta. "We have a lot to catch up on."

"Yesterday I went up to the look out to ask Dende if I could use the dragonballs" said Laura. "He told me that they were already used, and at that time I didn't know what to do. Then Dende pulled some strings for me and got the dragonballs. I made the wish and brought Vegeta's dad back. When I wished him back he asked who I was, and I said I knew his son. He's been hiding out in the gravity room since yesterday. I planned this out very carefully; I knew that Bulma wouldn't let Vegeta train the day before Christmas Eve, so it was the perfect time to make the wish."

"Thank you Laura" said Vegeta giving her a hug.

"Your welcome" said Laura smiling. "I know that you lost your dad when you were small, and thought it was a good idea to wish him back for you." Vegeta's dad was looking around at everyone confused. Everybody left the room except the Son family.

"So there's Saiyans living on this planet" said King Vegeta.

"Yes quite a lot of them actually" said Vegeta. "This is Kakarot and his family. Kakarot is a full blooded Saiyan, his father was Bardock. His two sons Gohan and Goten are half Saiyan, there mother is human. Gohan's daughter Pan is a quarter Saiyan, her mom is also human. "Now this is Darien you probably remember him, he was an elite soldier on our planet, and he's also one of my best friends. This is his daughter Laura she is also half Saiyan. Now as for my family, this is my wife Bulma she is human, and this is my son Trunks, he's also half Saiyan. There will be one more joining us once my wife has our second child."

"So let me get this straight, there's three full blooded Saiyans, four half Saiyans, and a quarter Saiyan living here on Earth" said King Vegeta.

"Exactly" said Vegeta. "There will be more in the future since Laura and Trunks are future mates."

"Wow" said King Vegeta shocked.

"That's not all" said Vegeta. "All of us can turn into Super Saiyans except Pan."

"Even Laura" said Darien shocked.

"Yes even me" said Laura. "You can thank Vegeta for that."

"That's amazing" said King Vegeta. "This is so much for me to take in."

"You'll get used to it father" said Vegeta.

"Thank you Laura" said Trunks hugging her.

"Your welcome Trunks" said Laura.

"So you're the one who my grandson chose" said King Vegeta. Trunks just stood there holding his breath. He didn't know whether or not his Grandfather would approve of Laura.

"Yeah" said Laura smiling. King Vegeta just looked at her for a minute.

"Your very strong for a Saiyan female" said King Vegeta. "That's very good for the royal blood line."

"Thank you" said Laura. "I've been training since I was young."

"Well I approve" said King Vegeta. "She would make a great addition to the royal family. Welcome to the family Laura."

"Thank you" said Laura giving him a hug. Trunks finally let out his breath. He was happy that his Grandfather approved of Laura.

"Laura" said Bulma finally speaking. "I was going to give this to you on your birthday, but I think I should give it to you now." Bulma went out of the room and came back with a capsule. She pushed the button down the capsule, and out came a huge device.

"This is a dimension machine" said Bulma. "With it you could talk to anyone outside this dimension, and people from other dimensions. Your mom already has one in her house Laura so you can go ahead and call."

"Thank you Bulma" said Laura giving her a hug. She went over to the machine and dialed her phone number. A couple of minutes later Laura's sister picked up the phone and then screen came on.

"Hey Sis" said Laura through the microphone. "Merry Christmas."

"Hi Laura" said Heather happily. "Wow how come I can see your face?"

"It's a machine that Trunks mom made, that could talk to people like this" said Laura. "Could you get mom, I have to tell her something."

"Sure" said Heather. In the background Laura could hear Heather calling for her mother. A couple of seconds later Laura's mom came to the phone."

"Hello" said Anita.

"Hey Mom Merry Christmas" said Laura.

"Merry Christmas to you to sweetheart" said Anita. "It's great that I can see your face on Christmas. Tell Bulma I said thanks."

"No problem mom" said Laura. "I have a present for you"

"Really what is it Laura?" asked Anita. Laura gave the phone to her dad.

"Hello love" said Darien through the microphone.

"OMG Darien" said Anita crying. "You don't know how much I've missed you. It hasn't been the same ever since you died. But how did you come back?"

"Laura's mate wished me back" said Darien. "I'm back for good Anita. I will never leave you or Laura again."

"Put Trunks on the phone Darien" said Anita. Trunks came over and took the phone from Darien.

"Hello Anita" said Trunks.

"Trunks I don't know how I can thank you for all that you did" said Anita.

"It's no problem Anita" said Trunks. "I just wanted to make Laura happy."

"Well I bet you did just that" said Anita smiling.

"I should be thanking Laura" said Trunks. "She brought back my Grandfather. Me and my Dad are very happy."

"Well looks like you both gave each other the one present that you each wanted" said Anita. "Can you put Darien back on?"

"Sure" said Trunks. He gave the phone back to Darien.

"When are you coming home Darien?" asked Anita.

"Tomorrow afternoon with Laura" said Darien. "We need to catch up on everything that we missed."

"Yeah" said Anita starting to cry again. "Put Laura back on so I can say goodnight."

"Ok sweetheart" said Darien. "Goodnight I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight" said Anita. Darien gave the phone back to Laura.

"Well mom did you like the present" said Laura smiling.

"Yes I did sweetheart" said Anita, "This is the best present ever. I'm going to thank Trunks forever."

"Well I wouldn't go that far mom" said Laura laughing. "I sure am happy" said Laura.

"I bet you are sweetheart" said Anita. "So I'll see u and your dad tomorrow. Trunks isn't coming?"

"No" said Laura. "He has a lot to catch up with his Grandfather."

"Alright sweetheart I'll see you tomorrow" said Anita.

"Ok mom goodnight" said Laura as she hung up the phone.

"Well that went very well" said Laura standing next to Trunks.

"Laura who was that girl that picked up the phone?" asked Darien.

"Oh that was my sister Heather" said Laura. "Two years after you died, mom met a guy named Leo. A year later mom remarried, and had Heather. Then when I was 7 he died in a car accident. Heathers 11 now."

"So I have a Stepdaughter" said Darien.

"Yeah, don't worry dad you'll love her" said Laura. It was getting late, and everybody started to leave. Bulma thanked them for coming, and to have a safe trip home.

"Man I'm tired" said Laura yawning. "Come on dad I'll show you your room. Laura went upstairs, and showed her dad where he'd be sleeping. She said goodnight, and went into her room. Trunks was already there waiting for her.

"What a great night" said Laura getting ready for bed.

"Yeah" said Trunks. "I had no idea that you wished back my grandfather."

"Well I didn't know that you wished back my dad" said Laura. "I'm soo happy that he's back. I've really missed him."

"I'm glad that you happy" said Trunks kissing her forehead. "Goodnight sweetheart."

"Goodnight my Prince" said Laura falling into a pleasant dream.
