Chapter 10

Bulma's New Life

Authors' note- This chapter is going to be from Bulma's point of view. From Vegeta's death to Bulla graduation.

A week after Bulla went back to school and Trunks went back to work Bulma was exhausted she hadn't slept well and was filled with grief. At night she missed the warmth and protection he gave her. She actually missed his arguing about stupid stuff.

One ay she finished an important meeting and went for a drive. She stopped at the cemetery it also pained her to go but she had to she always felt close to him. After planting some flowers she started crying, memories of the two of them came flooding back and she cried harder. Suddenly she felt her heart telling her to look up and went she did she saw Vegeta but she wasn't sure if it was him or just her imagination.

"Where is that strong women?"

"Oh, Vegeta, I miss and need you"

"No, you don't need me, and I miss you to"

To Bulma time stopped, for 5 minutes she got to see the man she truly adored.

She closed her eyes and when she opened them he was gone. Then she knew she was going to be able to get on with life.

Some time has passed

Before Bulma knew it she was retiring. Trunks completed the time needed before coming President. They were both excited Trunks was fulfilling his dreams and Bulma wouldn't have to worry about paper work anymore.

Her co-workers threw her a party before she made her retirement speech live.

Two hours before the announcement she left to get ready. When she got home Bulla was there.

"Bulla what are you doing home?"

"I got out of class early to see you"

Bulma was heading out the door when she saw the picture of the four of them. (The same that was at Trunks house many years ago.) She felt like he was in the room congratulations her.

"Thank you Vegeta"

The broadcasting went well as did her god-bye speech. Once she was done Trunks came on TV. "I hope to do as good as my mom has done and keep up the high standards."

Once that was done Trunks went home with Bulma and Bulla went back to class.

Trunks POV

A month before Bulla's graduation and Trunks was swamped with work. Late nights and early morning, Thank God for holidays or he would never have a day off. Bulma helped whenever she could but she was only able to help so much some things he had to learn by himself. One night Trunks came out of a meeting and he ran into his ex-girlfriend Marion. She asked him he wanted to go get coffee. Having nothing to do in the morning he agreed. He was so happy, being so busy with work it was nice to relax and have a good time. Suddenly Marion asked where they went wrong. "The only reason was because your parents didn't like the age difference" See 18 wasn't crazy about her only daughter dating an older man even if it was only three years. Before it got hard to stay they left and he went home.

Bulma was running around trying to get everything ready before the flight. There was something odd about it, I mean it was the same private jet and everything maybe it was because it was no longer hers, it was now Trunks. "So how's work"

"Hard and Busy"

"Guess I picked the right time to retire" She started laughing than turned to the window. The hour flew by (no pun intended) and was greeted by a very excited looking girl.

"Bulla look at you, you look so much older every time I se you, but you are still my baby girl."

"Oh mom stop"

A quick fix of the hair and the group headed over to the school for the graduation. While it was in progress and Bulma cried naturally, she got a feeling inside her and quickly turned and looked she saw no one, that's when it hit her maybe it was her heart that acted as his eyes, that she felt like he was so close to her when he really wasn't there. The rest of the day Bulma felt and looked really happy, Bulla and trunks didn't know what it was but, they hadn't seen her this cheerful in years so who was complaining.
