Author's notes: I'm sorry if it sucks, I'm not much of a writer, but I've had the idea for this story for so long... Anyways the first part of this chapter is just dialogue, it's pretty obvious who says what if you watch the show. Oh yeah the mysterious figure from the prologue is revealed in this chapter, though it was pretty obvious.
:FLASHBACK: is if you can't guess a flashback.
(...) are the person who's having the flashback's thoughts as they're having the flashback.
:END FLASHBACK: end of flashback
And on with my story.
Why it hurts so much...
8 Years Later
Normal POV
"Happy seventh anniversary!"
"Congratulations you two!"
"Eh, fine congratulations brat."
"Thanks father, thank you everyone."
"Now let's eat cake!"
"I don't think I've ever seen Goku go that fast."
"Actually he went faster at the wedding."
"Let's go before my dad eats it all."
"We're probably too late"
"Trunks? Aren't you coming?"
"Uh, later Gohan, watching your dad devour all that food isn't something I like seeing."
"Okay"
'Congratulations Gohan, I hope you're happy'
Trunk's POV
'Who am I kidding, I know your happy.
You've been undeniably happy for eight years.
I'm the miserable one, I'm hiding it from everyone else, have been for eight years, hiding my pain has become routine for me, you could say I'm an expert.
Today is becoming one of the worst days of my life, then again all of the celebrations you two share are get on that list, no matter what I do still end up miserable.
I'd have to say that the second worst day of my life would have to be the day you two got together, I'd followed you two, you know.
:FLASHBACK:
"Hi Gohan, come in."
"Hey Trunks, you ready to study yet?" 'same old Gohan'
"Aww, Gohan can't we have a spar first? It helps me focus?" 'Hey, might as well try right?'
"No Trunks, we have to study, don't look at me like that. It's not fair, how can you make your eyes so big anyways, and you can cry on command too. Fine we can have a spar later." 'he caved!'
"Trunks! Stop that, Gohan you don't have to help him today, we're having a get together today with all the z-fighters. Mirai Trunks is back and we decided to celebrate"
"He's back? That's great!"
"Yep, everyones already here, come on let's go."
"But Gohan, polynomials!"
"Sorry Trunks, I'll help you with it later. Besides your already years ahead of anyone else your age"
"Okay Gohan but remember you promised."
'Hey... where's Gohan, he promised he'd help me with this math, I guess I can't blame him it's a party of course he'd want to hang out with Mirai more than myself, I guess I'll go look for my new "brother."
I go to the dining room where Goten and his dad are stuffing there faces, Mirai's not here. I pass by dad's gravity chamber, he's beating Yamcha and Tien again, Mirai isn't here either. I finally come to the T.V. room where everyone else seems to be and it looks like Mirai and Gohan are talking quietly. I slowly make my way over there but their already leaving. 'Where are they going?' So I follow them, why are they going to the other side of the building? They aren't talking and I once again make a move to walk to toward them, but before I do I see something that will affect me the rest of my life. Mirai kissed Gohan.
(When I saw you two kissing something in me just snapped, I wanted to fly away as fast as I could,) 'I was crying, why am I crying?
I've seen you kiss Videl before, several times actually and I've never cried, but seeing you kiss Mirai well, I feel like my chest was breaking, but why?'
(I must of asked myself that same question a million times after that and I didn't know the answer all I knew was that seeing you with Mirai gave me a heart wrenching feeling that I couldn't explain.)
It's stopped after you stopped, I heard you two start talking you where teasing eachother, and the feeling came back.
You're kissing again, damn it why do I have to feel this, I don't get it.
Now Mirai is saying something, he saying he loves you and now you're telling him you love him too.
'I have to get out of here' I was too busy trying to figure out an escape route without you two noticing me that I missed you say something, but I caught the end of it.
"...Trust me when I say I love you" That does it, I can barely hold it back any more, I start running, I don't think you even notice me. I run all the way to my room and lock myself in. Why does it hurt, damn, I keep asking myself this but I have yet to get an answer. No one bothers me for the rest of the night, I'm not sure if I'm relieved or sad, 'Did everyone forget about me? What about Gohan, he promised he come help me, he's probably too busy with Mirai' That last part depresses me and I fall asleep.
:END FLASHBACK:
Everytime I saw you two together after that, which was basically everyday (you did help tutor me); and everytime I even thought of the two of you together, I wanted to cry.
I couldn't understand it, why I would cry because you two where together?(I never actually cried, just nearly cried.)
I mean you two look so happy and perfect for eachother, yet at the same time there was something so wrong with it that gave me this inexplicable feeling.
I couldn't understand or explain anything. Why did I have these strange new emotions? Why did I care? I couldn't explain anything at all until that day.
The day the two of you got married, as always you two looked like you where meant to be, and as always I was fighting back tears I couldn't explain.
:FLASHBACK:
You guys look so great and the ceremony is looking perfect, it's going by way too slowly, you're finally at the "I do's." I have to get out of here.
I'm trying to creep out of here quietly, I don't want to gain anyone's attention. 'Yes mission accomplished!'
I take one final look at you two and I have this strange thought from my sub-conscious.
'I wish that was me up there.'
I still can't understand why I thought that, we have to go to the reception now.
I'm just wandering around in a daze, 'wait are you coming up to me?'
"Trunks can I talk to you for a moment?"'why would he want that?'
"Sure" We walk outside where no one will bother us.
"Why'd you leave the ceremony?" you ask quietly. 'How'd he know? I left through the side door he shouldn't have noticed!'
"How'd you know?"
"I was looking around at all my friends, and I notice you weren't there. I saw you were at the side-door with this strange look on your face, and then you left." 'He noticed, I'm glad, but what will I say to him?'
"I just I had to go to the restroom."
"Oh, well couldn't it have waited?" 'No it couldn't, I was fricken sobbing in a bathroom stall, for no apparent reason! I am pathetic'
"No, sorry."
"It's okay, so how are you doing in your studies, I'm sorry I haven't been around to help lately but you know wedding planning" 'They're not going, I don't get any of it, and no one helping me.
And well I've missed you'
"It's okay, and it's going slowly but I'm doing fine."
"Great, I'm glad. As soon as I get back from the honeymoon we'll start again."
"Alright, by the way where are you going?"
"Paris, Mirai's always wanted to go there but the androids destroyed it in his old timeline before he ever got the chance." 'What do you see in him?'
"What do I see in him,"' oh crap I said that out loud!' Your eyes seem to look distant now, "well I'm not sure, I guess I've always looked up to him; figuritvely speaking of course, now I have to literally look down on him. From the first time I met him, I knew I wanted to get to know him better and well deep down I wanted to do more. I didn't realize it at first but by the end of the cell games I knew. He's my first love, going out with Videl was a huge mistake, i only did it because my mom pushed me into it, even so my feelings for him never changed I stayed in love with him all those years. I'm not sure what I see in him, just that I see him." 'That had to be the most sappiest love speech ever, why do I not want to throw up? It almost sounded... sweet. Typical Gohan it's stuff like this that makes me lo...
What was I about to say? That I love him?
I love him, I love Gohan.
:END FLASHBACK:
I have no idea how it happened, maybe I've always felt this way.
I did know however, no matter how I felt, I couldn't change anything.
You're happily married to Mirai, you love him not me.
No matter what my feelings are,
You're happiness comes first.
Surprising this first came from an eleven year old , but I knew, I'd accepted my fate even then.
That's why I'm here, today's your seventh wedding anniversary.
I'm here at your house with the rest of the Z fighters to celebrate with you two.
Though today I don't feel like celebrating.'
So I'm just looking around your bedroom.
I've been here countless times yet I've never once explored, so I'm taking this chance to do so.
I just found a capsule case that I've never seen before, I'm gonna test one out.
I've gone outside and opened the capsule.
'Now why does this look familiar?' I'm the vice president of Capsule Corp. I should know this.
It's a giant egg-shaped macine.
I know better to but, I've gone inside and I'm pressing random buttons trying to make this thing work.
I slam my fist into what looks like a control panel and a lot of smoke is coming out now.
I look around and suddenly I remember where I've seen this before.
This is Mirai's time machine.
"Oh shit, I'm so dead!"
End Chapter
So how was it? Oh yeah the wedding was exactly one year after Gohan and Mirai got together. I changed it from being entirely a conversation with Gohan to some memories and a conversation. I like this version better than my original chapter 1. Anyways Please Review.
