Chapter 3- The Start of A New Life
It has been 2 months since Trunks defeated Cell and 3 months since he destroyed the Androids. The world was a much more peaceful place thanks to the actions of Trunks. The buildings were now finished being repaired and people now could return to their homes. It didn't take long for the media to find out who killed the Androids. The old man that had meet Trunks the day he killed the Androids told reporters that the young man who killed the Androids had a Capsule Corp logo on his jacket and one day after meeting him he saw him enter the Capsule Corp building. Reporters tried their hardest to get an interview but couldn't.
Trunks was now the president of Capsule Corp. His mother couldn't run Capsule Corp when the Androids were running around and had no choice but to close it. But Trunks told his mom a long time ago that he would control the company for her and he did after Cell. Trunks was very famous now but Trunks tried his hardest to stay out of the media. Being Famous wasn't everything to Trunks. Being Famous wasn't going to bring his friends and family back to life and that's something that Trunks longed for.
Meanwhile 10 miles from Capsule Corporation a news reporting company named Coast Lindson were having a meeting on the latest issues, mostly about Trunks Briefs.
"Blossom! Are you feeling okay? You haven't been yourself lately ever since you went to that hospital. You haven't been the same", said Tessa. "No, I'm okay. I've just been day dreaming", said Blossom looking out the window. "What about? The man that saved your life? Do you remember his name?" asked Tessa curiously. "All I remember is that his name began with a T. His whole name I don't remember." responded Blossom sheepishly. "That's ok. If I was KO in battle I'm sure I wouldn't remember either. What else did that nurse say", said Tessa. "Last I remember the nurse saying is that if he didn't bring me in I would have surely have died. I wished that he would have came back to the hospital. . "I just wish that I could remember his name. I never got to thank him. I own him my life", said Blossom. "Oh before I forget she also said that he had a blue jacket with a C labeled on it", said Blossom again. "Oh my God! Blossom we were suppose to be at the meeting 15 minutes ago! We're Late!", yelled Tessa. "Dammit! You're right! Let's hurry!" yelled back Blossom and they ran out the door.
"Ms. Blare! Ms. Rose! Where have you two been! It's 15 minutes into the meeting! If you do that again you two will be fired!" yelled their Boss Mr. Zing. "Sorry Boss we got caught up in work in the office", explained Blossom. "Excuses, Excuses. When will you two get tired of your excuses and take responsibility for your actions. Enough chatter. Sit down you two", said Mr. Zing. The girls sat down fast. "As I was saying. Trunks Briefs, President of Capsule Corp, defeater of the androids, is nowhere to be found when we try to get him to cough out how he defeated the Androids. Now your probably wondering what this has to deal with you guys. Well one of you must find away to interview him. The reporter who gets the chance to interview Mr. Briefs will have an increase in their salary and a promotion to management of the company", Mr. Zing continued.
"Any volunteers?" asked Zing looking around. "Wow Management! Blossom that's great! I'm in. What about you?" asked Tessa. Blossom didn't answer. "Blossom…Blossom!" yelled Tessa so loud that everyone stared at them. "Girls!" shouted Mr. Zing looking at them. "Sorry again Boss", said Tessa and Blossom even though she wasn't talking. "As I was saying any volunteers?" asked Zing. "I'll go!.. No I'll go!.. Hey I was here first I'll go!" shouted a whole bunch of workers. "One at a time one at a time", yelled Mr. Zing. Zing started writing everyone's name down on a piece of paper. "Anyone else? Ok if there's no one else I guess that concludes our meeting", said Mr. Zing. "Wait I'll go!" said Blossom standing up. "Oh, Ms. Blare, so you've decided to join my little contest. Ok I'll write your name down. To everyone good luck and may the best reporter win", said Mr. Zing walking out of the room with the paper.
The girls walked out of the office. "Blossom", said Tessa. "Yes", said Blossom. " I was wondering if Trunks is the same person that saved you that day", said Tessa. " Ridiculous! And how in the world did you come up with that conclusion?" asked Blossom. "Well his name did begin with a T and Trunks defend the Androids the same day that you ended up in a hospital", responded Tessa. "Yeah so? There are so many guy names that being with T. It could be anyone," responded Blossom. "Precisely and there's a possibility that is could be Trunks. You were both in the same city when he fought the Androids", said Tessa. "Yeah what ever you say", said Blossom. "Well if he is then you found your hero", responded Tessa. "Yeah well if he is. I'm giving him a piece of my mine", said Blossom angrily. "But he saved your life!" said Tessa looking at Blossom shocked. "Yeah but he didn't come back to see how I was doing! ", said Blossom bitterly. "You expect everyone to check up on you even if you're ok. He didn't know you and saving you was the most the stranger could do. He knew that you were ok and probably felt there was no need to stay", said Tessa. "Hey he should have came back anyways", said Blossom. "Why does this bother you? He saved you end of story", said Tessa annoyed at the way Blossom was behaving." Shut up now or I'll blast you", yelled Blossom ready to blast her." Stop being such a saiyan!" yelled Tessa back at Blossom. "Well sorry I am! My mom was and so am I. I should have never told you I was a saiyan," yelled Blossom. "I'm sorry that you did!" yelled Tessa. "Forget you. I don't need to waste my time on you. I have a kid to take care of", said Blossom lowering her hand and the energy from her hand faded and she walked away. "Bye to you too. But you know I'm right!" yelled Tessa walking away in the other direction. Blossom left without responding back to her.
Blossom roamed the streets late at night. It was very dark and cold outside so Blossom put on her jacket. "It's so cold out here maybe I should fly home. No the walk will do me good. She can wait", said Blossom as she continued walking down a dark alley. She then heard someone laughing. Blossom turned around and asked, "Who's there?" "A friend", then the person grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him. "Pretty Young ladies shouldn't roam the streets at night by themselves, they could get hurt", said the stranger. "You don't know who you're messing with. If I were you I let go before something happens", said Blossom. "No way! I got a cute woman to take home with me", said the man. "Suit yourself", Blossom said shaking her head and then she hit him with her knee into his stomach. "Ouch! What are you?" the guy said falling to the ground. "Asshole that's what you get for messing with a saiyan", said Blossom as she walked away from him. She heard something growl. "Now why can't I get home in peace." said Blossom. She heard the growl coming from a corner and went to check it out. Then she saw it was a puppy. "How cute! Are you all alone?" she said putting her hand out. The puppy backed away. "Don't be afraid I won't hurt you. Come here, it's okay", said Blossom. The puppy slowly came to Blossom as she had her hand out already. The puppy went to her hand and licked it. "Your just like me, we both don't have our parents so that's why we should stick together. From now on you'll live with me. Is that ok", asked Blossom knowing the puppy couldn't speak English. "Ruff, Ruff", responded the puppy. "Oh I'm so glad you agree. Let's go home. My little one will be happy to see you ", said Blossom and she picked up the puppy to bring it home.
Blossom took the puppy into the house and gave the puppy some water and whatever food she had in the refrigerator.
"Pan! I know you're in here. Come out from where you're hiding. I know that you're trying to scare me. It's not going to work this time on me", said Blossom as she went from the kitchen to her upstairs bedroom.
She could hear some giggling coming from her upstairs attic. "Pan! Come out this instant young lady!" yelled Blossom. "Okay, Pan, but you won't get your favorite pot roast that you love so much", said Blossom as she walked away looking back knowing that Pan would come out from where she was hiding because she loves food so much (like Goku).
"Food? I do love it when Blossom makes her special pot roast with green peppers and tomatoes. No! I have to have will power. I have to wait for the right opportunity and then BAM! Scare her badly, heh, heh", said Pan then her stomach started growling. "Maybe I'll scare her later. First Food! Nah I'll scare her first ,heh,heh", said Pan laughing quietly. "Three, Two, One", said Blossom. "Got you!" said Pan leaping the attic steps and attempting to jump her. But she missed as Blossom moved out of her way. Pan hit into a wall. "Ouch! That wasn't very nice Blossom. How did you know that I was trying to jump you? No fair!" said Pan in pain. "Because you always do that", said Blossom. "That hurt", said Pan holding her nose crying. "Stop crying. I hate it when you cry. Dry your tears, I'll make you that pot roast that you love", said Blossom looking down at Pan. "Yay! I'm so hungry!" said Pan forgetting that she even had pain at all. "Pan, It's amazing how your injuries heal so fast", said Blossom grinning a little. "Yeah I know! I guess food has the power to heal anything!" said Pan getting up and hoping to the kitchen. "Pan stop that! Pan come on can you listen to me for once", said Blossom yelled. "What did you say? I can't hear you! La..la..la", said Pan hoping some more. "Brat. What am I going to do with her! Augh!" said Blossom in herself. "Come on Kiddo stop for real and let's eat. Pan stopped and sat in her chair. "Good girl! I'll start cooking", said Blossom walking to the stove.
In the Kitchen Blossom started making dinner and Pan saw the puppy. "How cute! Blossom are we keeping it?" asked Pan. Of course we are. I'm not going to leave a little puppy all by itself", responded Blossom continuing cooking. "Yay! What are you going to call it?" asked Pan. "Pan it's a female and I think I'll name it after my mother", said Blossom. "After your mom, Sonya? I guess you really do miss her", said Pan. "Yes I do think of her and my father a lot", said Blossom about to cry. "Don't cry. I miss my parents too but I know that I must be strong. We'll find a way to bring them back. You'll see", said Pan. "Thank you, Pan. Now let's get off the subject. Food time!" said Blossom putting the food on the table. Pan started eating (the way Goku eats). " Slow down maxamillion. The food is not going to disappear that fast. I've always wondered where you get your eating habits from", said Blossom curiously not wanting the answer. "Mommy and Daddy always said that my Grandfather Goku ate like me. So I guess I got it from him", said Pan eating again. "I guess Gohan and Katrina may be right. I wish I could have meet him then I would know for a fact", said Blossom sitting down.
"Blossom, how was work today?" asked Pan. "It was okay but I have another report to do", responded Blossom. "What about? Who or What do you have a report on? ", asked Pan. " The President of Capsule Corporation", said Blossom. "The President of Capsule Corporation? What about?" asked Pan nervously. "Pan Are you ok? Do you know something I don't know?" asked Blossom watching Pan closing. "No of course not", responded Pan. "Hmm will see. Anyways I have to interview him about the Androids. I don't know but his name ring a bell in my head. Trunks Briefs? Briefs? Ahh! Bulma Briefs? Bulma had a son? No way! Kat's older brother, Vegeta had a son! Kat never mention to me about a nephew! My head hurts!" said Blossom in shock. "Blossom relax. Everything will be ok", said Pan patting her on the back. "Wait a minute that would mean that you must have known something. Yes! That's why you were so nervous. It's all over your face right now!" shouted Blossom. Pan moved back. "Why didn't I know? How come Kat and Gohan didn't tell me? And definitely why didn't you tell me that you had a cousin? Of all people!" said Blossom standing up. "Sorry Blossom but mommy told me not to talk you about Trunks", said Pan putting her head down. "And why not?" asked Blossom. "I really don't know why? I guess Mommy and Daddy wanted you two to train and have no distraction", said Pan giggling. "And what's that suppose to mean?" asked Blossom. " Like my mommy always said love makes you weak. I guess she felt you might have fall in love with each other. And you two wouldn't be strong enough to defeat the Androids", said Pan giggling some more. "Pan. She had no right predicting my future and what about her and Gohan?" asked Blossom. "I don't know maybe she felt that's why she and Gohan couldn't defeat them", responded Pan. "I don't know, I guess that could be true. Anyways how is it that you seem to remember everything?" asked Blossom. "Hey I might have been 5 but I remember a lot of things", said Pan. "Thank you for telling me the truth. Time for bed little one", said Blossom walking in Pan direction. "Ok. Let's go", said Pan turning her back to Blossom walking up the stairs. Blossom smacked her in the head hard. "Hey what was that for?" asked Pan. "For waiting 6 years to tell me the truth", said Blossom with Sonya in her hand. "Meanie!" yelled Pan running up the stairs. Blossom followed her to her room. " I love you!" said Blossom. "I love you too. Even though you hit me", said Pan sticking out her tongue. Blossom stuck her tongue out at her also and was about to close the door when she heard Pan call her. " Pan what is it?" asked Blossom walking back into the room. "Are you going there tomorrow?" asked Pan. "Yeah after I visit Gohan's and Katrina's Graves", responded Blossom. "Can I come along?" asked Pan. "Not tomorrow, I want to talk to them alone", responded Blossom. "Why? What is it you don't want me to hear?" asked Pan. "None of your business. Stop being so curious", said Blossom. "Come on, please?" pledge Pan. "No, now go to sleep", said Blossom. " I hope that Mom's and Dad's prediction comes truth", said Pan closing her eyes. "What prediction?" asked Blossom. "That you and Trunks would be together", said Pan. "Sorry Pan but a job is a job. I can't lose it over love. Anyways I'm not to fall in love with my interviewee", answered Blossom. "And why not?" asked Pan. "Boss feels that you'll mess up the interview if you fall in love and ruin the T.V. ratings on the show ", said Blossom. " That's not fair! No one can control who you fall in love with!" shouted Pan. "Calm down, Pan. There's nothing I can do about it. He's my boss. He makes the rules. This is the only job I have that I make an ok salary. Better than most people around here. Ever since those Androids started attacking!" said Blossom grinding her teeth. "Blossom there gone now. Thanks to my cousin", said Pan. "That's why I should kill him. I was suppose to defeat them not him! But I can't kill him yet I need my interview from him. Hey that's a good reason I shouldn't be with him. He took my glory of defeating them!" exclaimed Blossom. "Blossom come on! Don't be so stupid as to not like or maybe someday love him because he took your victory of defeating them away. My cousin's a good person once you get to know him", said Pan closing her eyes again. "What are you trying to be match maker? I shouldn't even be listening to you! You're a little kid and you've haven't even dated yet! Or have you? If you are give me his name, address, and telephone and I'll go to his house and blast him! (Sounds like someone she's not related to)", said Blossom. "I don't have a boyfriend and even if I did I don't think I'll tell you, scary psycho", said Pan yawning. "Psycho? I'm no psycho!" said Blossom. "I'm not sure about that", said Pan finally falling asleep. "Whatever Kiddo, good night, love you", said Blossom kissing her on the forehead and leaving the room closing the door. She walked to her room.
"What a day! It has been a strange one. Tomorrow I'll first visit Gohan and Katrina then I'll go to Capsule Corp. and talk to Mr. Briefs. I'm so tired", said Blossom as she blew out her candles and went to sleep with Sonya next to her.
