Chapter 2

This was her ultimate decision. Laura decided that she was going to be much better than what she was in High School. Her heart still ached because of Trunks' rejection but it made her more determined to reach her goal.

She looked at herself in the mirror with her teary red eyes and quickly wiped away the tears. She looked at herself with a determined glance and nodded to herself. This was it. She was going to become the absolute best!

Laura immediately started to exercise the next day and had no mercy on her own body. The only thought she had in her mind was becoming better... No, becoming the best. Sweat trailed down her temple and her breathing was heavy.

After two hours of intense training, Laura flopped onto her bed. She felt fatigue wash over her limbs and her heart beat in her ears as she tried to catch her breath. She could feel her muscles strain slightly and let out a sigh.

She looked up at the bedroom ceiling and her brows furrowed. Her facial expression hardened and a frown came onto her lips.

"I can't wait till High School is over. When that time comes I can really get my life started and be the person I want to be" Laura told herself before she pushed herself off her bed once again and went to clean herself up.

I can't wait.


Four years later...

A big party was held at Capsule Corp to celebrate Trunks' graduation from College. After four years of hard work he was finally going to start working at Capsule Corp. However, Trunks still wanted to enjoy his freedom before he started to work.

The Son family also joined in the celebration long with most of Trunks' classmates from College attended the party along. Some of his High School friends that he still had contact with also came and even some stuck up girls that Trunks either dated or had a fling with.

"So Trunks, what are you going to do now that you graduating with college?" A slim black haired female asked as she batted her eyelashes at Trunks. Her friend was clutching the side of Trunks' arm and had a seductive smile on her lips.

"Yeah, are you going to join us later on?" Her brown haired friend asked and Trunks glanced between them while taking a sip of his drink. He smiled at them and shook his head at the second college woman's question.

"No, unfortunately not, ladies. I already have things that I need to attend to so I won't be able to join you" Trunks said and they whined. "B-But Trunks! Hanging out without you just isn't the same!" The black haired girl exclaimed and her friend nodded.

"She's right! Please join us just for a little while!" They begged him with their eyes but before he could say anything his mother's voice reached his ears.

He looked back at the girls and let out a sigh, "Sorry girls, but I can't" He said before walking away from them after getting the brown-haired girl off from his arm. Bulma called for everyone's attention and everyone walked towards where the blue-haired female stood.

Vegeta stood against the wall of their house with his arms crossed over his body and a faint scowl on his lips. Bra stopped her conversation with her friends and they walked towards her mother, wanting to hear what she had to say.

"Goku! The food won't run away! Come on!" ChiChi scolded her husband who was still cleaning out plates to satisfy his Saiyan hunger. "But ChiChi-" ChiChi grabbed Goku by his collar and he yelped before she dragged him with her.

"First of all, a big thank you for everyone who attended this celebration! It's great to have so many people here to celebrate my son, Trunks', graduation" Bulma said and smiled at her son who stood next to Goten.

"Now that I have all of your attention, I have big announcement to make. Trunks will be taking my place as President of Capsule Corp!" Bulma announced. Everyone cheered and clapped at her statement and they all looked back at Trunks.

Goten gave his friend a playful shunt on his shoulder while grinning at him. Trunks chuckled at Goten and tried to hide his slight embarrassment at everyone clapping at him.

"You're already taking your Mom's place? Wow, you don't take your time do you?" Goten asked with a laughed but Trunks shook his head. "I'm not taking her a place just yet, Goten. I'm going to take a few weeks off to relax and hang out with you guys." Trunks said and Goten nodded.

"Yeah, you just graduated, it'll be good if you took a break before you throw yourself into work again" Goten said and Trunks rolled his eyes. "Says the one who keeps taking breaks" Trunsk said and Goten pouted at the male.

"Not permanent! I work...just not as much..." Goten trailed off and averted his eyes from the lavender-haired male who laughed at him. "Sure, Goten. Whatever you say" Trunks said and Goten grumbled something underneath his breath.

"Congratulations, Trunks!" ChiChi said as she walked towards them, Goku already busy eating the rest of the food behind her. Goten and Trunks briefly sweat dropped when they saw him before they returned their attention towards ChiChi.

"Yes, Congratulations, Son! I'm so proud of you!" Bulma said and Trunks smiled at his mother and ChiChi. "Thanks guys. I appreciate it" Trunks said before ChiChi cleared her throat and Trunks raised an eyebrow.

"So, Trunks, when are you going to settle down and get married to start a family?" ChiChi asked and Goten almost choked on a drink while Trunks shook his head. "Definitely not now. I just want to hang out with my friends and get started on my career before I settle down" He replied.

Bulma frowned and put her hands on her hips. "Well, Trunks, just keep in mind that I want Grandkids. Don't take too long in deciding when you want to start a family" She interrupted

"Well, I haven't quite found that special girl yet, Mom. You'll just have to wait" Trunks said and Goten raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What about all those girls you dated back in High School and College? How come you still haven't found someone?" Goten asked and Trunks shrugged.

"Not one of them was the right one, Goten, but I don't want to talk about getting settled down already. I still want to relax a bit before I even start thinking of those things" Trunks said and Goten chuckled.

"Well, since you're taking time off, you can start with you training again" Vegeta's voice reached their ears and Trunks glanced back before he paled slightly. "Dad, when I say relax, I don't exactly mean training..." Trunks tried to tell Vegeta but the Saiyan Prince brushed it off.

"If there's time for relaxing, there's time for you to train. I'll see you first thing tomorrow morning, don't be late" Vegeta said before he walked away. Trunks let his head fall in defeat and Goten put a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry! We'll still hang out! You're got a couple of weeks free, right?" Goten said and Trunks let out a sigh while vaguely nodding.

"That's if I survive"
