Queen Luana : Okay, brace yourselves, this is probably going to be as bad as the previous chapter...

Gohan: Then why did you write it? No one didn't even write a review.

Queen Luana: You break my heart.

Gohan: Like I care.

Queen Luana: Jerk.

Gohan: Bitch.

Queen Luana: typing Two days later, Trunks found out Gohan and Luana had broke up for no reason at all.

Gohan: ...

Queen Luana: Although it was most likely Gohan's fault.

Gohan: ...Sorry.

Queen Luana: Come again?

Gohan: I'm sorry.

Queen Luana: Ah, you're forgiven, cute face. Enjoy the next chapter.


Chapter II

Lovingly


Trunks sat in the couch, watching tv. His father was pacing around the room, obviously still grumpy because he had to sleep on the couch the other night. He zapped from channal to channal but almost nothing was on. They had arrived back home about an hour ago and God, he wished he was still there at the lake.

The phone rang, loudly. Vegeta grumbled and simply continued pacing. Trunks jumped up with a sigh and ran to the hall, there he picked up the phone lying on a small wooden table next to the stairs. "Hello, Trunks Briefs," he said. "Oh, hi Trunks, i-it's Chi-Chi..." "Hi," Trunks mumbled. "How are you?" "I'm doing okay," Trunks said looking at his watch. Yep, they had left exactly an hour and a half ago and already she called. He couldn't blame her though. "How are you doing in school?" "Uh, it's summer break." "Oh right... right..." He could hear her sobbing and felt sorry for her yet again. Bulma came down the stairs. "Oh, who is it sweety?" she asked when she saw her son at the phone. "Chi-Chi," he said. Bulma beckoned him to hand over the phone. "Hang on, my mum wants to talk to you," he said and then laid the phone in his mother's hand. "Hello?" She blinked. "Hello?" She sighed irritated and looked at Vegeta. "She hung up on me!" He just shrugged and said: "Can't blame her." Bulma glared at him and smacked down the phone, then ran upstairs again. Trunks settled himself down in the couch again next to his grumpy father. "That woman..." he could hear him mutter. Trunks just stared at his knees. He didn't like it when his father called his mum 'that woman'. Then again, who was he to say something about it? He was only... their son...

Trunks started crying quietly. On a sudden moment, when he accidentaly sniffed too loud his father looked up. He stood up. "BULMA!" No response. He looked at his son who just sat there and scratched behind his ear. He muttered something and then left the room. Trunks whiped away his tears. He wasn't mad at his father, no, he knew well enough he was clueless. He stood up and walked to the garage. He grabbed his bike and hit the road. They probably wouldn't realise he was gone at all. His mum had probably locked herself up in her room and his father, he probably just wouldn't care. He was still crying softly when he left town. How long would it take him to get there? Half an hour? Yeah, something like that, if he would ride fast enough it wouldn't take much longer.

Indeed, about thirty minutes later he saw Chi-Chi's house. But insteed of stopping he continued riding, until he reached the lake. There he threw down his bike into the grass and sat down at the water. He took of his shoes and socks and splashed them in the water. In the distance he saw two girls hopping around the lake then one yelled. "Come on, Cathy, let's go for a swim!" She started undressing but the other girl looked a little frightened. "I don't know, Sissy, the water's awfully deep a-and Daddy says we shouldn't go out on our own." Well, at least their father cared. Sissy jumped into the water wearing nothing but her underwear and the last thing to disappear under the water's surface were her long blonde locks. "Sissy!" Her twin-sister started undressing as well and moments later she jumped in as well.

"Trunks? What are you doing here?" Trunks turned away from the girls splashing around in the water, screaming with laughter. He saw Gohan standing there, both hands in his pockets. "Is your mum here as well?" Gohan spotted Trunks' bike lying thereand shook his head sighing. "They had a fight again, huh?" "Something like that..." Trunks mumbled watching the two girls having fun. "He didn't even try to comfort me." Gohan sat down and squeezed Trunks' shoulder. "You shouldn't run away from your problems, Trunks." "I don't run away from them! I run to you! You and Luana are the only ones I can talk to! My mum still sees me as her little boy and dad doesn't seem to see me at all!" Trunks cried, warm tears running down his cheeks. "Why can't you come home with me?" "You know perfectly well why," Gohan said gently. "If I came back with you, you'd talk to me. And when your mum finds out, who knows what she might do." Trunks sniffed. "Yeah... But there's a woman in my room Gohan, she's scary a-and, I'm afraid to sleep at night." Gohan sighed and thought deeply. "Every tried to ask her to leave nicely?"

Trunks watched the woman standing at his window. Hands folded, look casted outside. "Uh ma'am..." Trunks said quietly. She didn't respond. He cleared his throat. "Ma'am?" She turned to him. Trunks swallowed at the sight of her wound. The woman smiled. "Hello, dear." She had a warm voice and Trunks sat up straight. "I-I was wondering... if you would be so nice to leave... please? I would like to sleep..." The woman smiled warmly. "What's your name?" "T-Trunks..." The woman's smile was somehow frightening as well. "Well, Trunks," she said still smiling and Trunks felt a cold chill. "I am waiting for my date to pick me up. As soon as he arrives, I'll go away." She turned back to the window. "He should be here any minute." Trunks swallowed and inhaled deeply. "He sisn't gonna come." She looked at him in surprise. "What?" "Your date isn't coming..." Trunks said and he could see a tear burn in her one eye. "W-Why not?" she said. "Because..." You're dead didn't come out. That would be crued. But what could he say. Because... "He's a jerk," he coppied his mother's lines. "He's not coming because he's a jerk." She lowered her head. "Of course he is," she muttered. "I've been so foolish. You're absolutely right Trunks. Tommy is a jerk. I'm sorry I was keeping you up." She walked over to him and Trunks pressed his back against the wall. She lowered her face and gave him a cold kiss on his forehead. "Goodbye, Trunks. And thanks." "Y-You're w-welcome," Trunks stumbled as she left the room. He lied down in his bed and watched the ceiling. He could not quite believe it. She had left. She was gone. He looked at the window. It was a strange sight, not to see her standing there anymore. He smiled and fell asleep a couple of minutes later.


Queen Luana: That's it!

Gohan: That wasn't creepy at all.

Queen Luana: Yeah, I guess you're right... But I do believe the next chapter will be even MORE emotional as now. Muahahahaaa!

Gohan: God no...
