Trunks didn't know what to say as he was still in stock.
"Trunks, why do you look so surprised?" Bulma questioned as she and the new girl stared at him with confused looks. After hearing his mother's voice he snapped back to reality to find that the girl's face looked confused, as well as his Mom's, to his reaction.
'Is she really the girl in that alley? She looks more warm and carefree than in the alley. The way she stared at me...So cold and serious.' thought Trunks as he looked at her again. 'But then again...'
"Trunks?" Bulma questioned him again with a worry face.
"What?" Trunks replied as he regains reality again.
"Trunks, why don't you introduce yourself to our guest." Said Bulma.
"Oh yeah, sorry. Hi, I'm Trunks Briefs." He told the young lady.
"Hello, My name is Viola Budly. Pleasure to meet you." Respond the NOW named guest. Trunks then got the best details as he saw that she was around his age. She had a claw-like hand on her right, but her other hand looked normal besides it being a lighter shade of skin. He also saw that she had pointy-like ears as well, and when she smiles he could see fang-like teeth.
"So, when did you get here?" questioned Trunks.
"Oh, she just got here about couple minutes ago before you came." Bulma interrupted.
"Hey, I just realize something. Viola, I didn't see you bring anything with you, where are your things?" Bulma asked.
"Oh, I mailed them here, but I can see now that the mail services are still recovering...I just hope they don't touch that sword..." She said whispering the last part to herself.
"Sword?" Trunks said over-hearing her.
" Umm… Oh! Let me take those bags." Viola exclaimed nervously.
"Thanks." Trunks said as he handed her one of the grocery bags.
"My, that's a lovely name you got," Bulma commented as she tried to start up a conversation. "Did you get it because of your eyes?"
"Why yes. That's how I got it, but I think we should continue this inside." Respond Viola.
"Good idea. Let's go inside." Trunks said. As they walked to the house, a box of food dropped out of Trunk's bags.
"Darn it. You guys go ahead. I dropped something." Trunks said as he walked back to get it. As he walked past Viola, she said "...be prepared..." That one moment froze Trunks in his tracks. He slowly turned back staring at her.
'Now...Just now...That was the same girl I saw in the alley. What is she up to?' Trunks thought to himself as he glared at her back.
After grabbing the box of food, he followed the ladies back into the house. As he went into the kitchen, he saw them putting the groceries away and he helped too, of course without glaring at Viola couple of times curiously. After that, they sat at the table to continue their conversation from earlier.
"So, Viola, what brings you here?" Bulma started.
"Well...I came here because I have heard rumors about the person who destroyed the androids and saved the Earth. I wanted to see if the rumors were true. Trunks,were you the one who defeated them?" Viola questioned calmly.
"Yup. It wasn't easy at first, but after somespecial training I beat them with ease." Trunks explained.
"Really...What kind of special training?" Viola asked quietly. Trunks and Bulma have already discussed that they really shouldn't tell anyone about the time-machine So...
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that." Trunks answered back.
"I see..." She replied. After some silence Bulma decided to speck up again.
"So I can see you're a sayian, judging by your tail around your waist. I'm amazed that someone else escaped the explosion at Planet Vegeta. Tell me, how did your parents escaped?"
"Explosion? Planet Vegeta? ...You mean the sayians finally found a place to live?" Viola asked a bit confused and anxiously.
"What? Of course. They actually took a planet away from the Tuffles and claimed it as their own. But then they made allies with this guy named Frieza. Even with all their loyalty, Frieza destroyed their planet and killed them because he was afraid of one of them becoming a Super Sayian. Only a few escaped. And what you know it, years later Frieza was defeated by a Super Sayian he feared would come, Goku." Bulma explained. Silence filled the room again. Viola lowered her head in deep thought.
'So, they finally found a place to call home. Or did.' She thought quietly to herself.
"I would have thought that your parents would have told you. Hey! What happen to your parents?" Bulma questioned.
"They're dead." The sayian girl answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that." Bulma said guiltfully.
"What happen to them, if you don't mind me asking?" Trunks said to her. Silence. That came repeatedly it seems, until Viola decided to speck.
"My mother...was killed by...my brother..." quietly and slowly she told them, her bangs hiding half of her face; her eyes.
"Oh, that's terrible...What about your father?" Bulma said gently.
"I...don't know, but I know he is dead now. Don't ask how I know, I just do." She was quiet after that. They were all quiet, the same silence you give to the dead.
"Well, now that you know that much about my pastlets change the subject. Back to why I'm here." Viola said quickly and less quiet than before.
"Yeah, back to that. So, what else do you want from us?" Trunks responded.
"Well, I'll tell you rumbling after we eat." She said with a smiled nervously after her stomach called for food. Bulma and Trunks sweat dropped at this with unbelievable smiles.
Bulma decided to cook dinner for them, but it seems that Viola mistook the feast Bulma made for them to be only for her as she ate like she was starving for weeks! She grabbed the food so quickly that Trunks nor Bulma could get their hands on it, afraid that Viola might mistake it as food. They stared in awe as she ate and asked for more to be made. Hours had past before she was satisfied; this was eating half of what they had.
"Wow that was great."
"Yeah, I bet." Trunks said sarcastically. "Now, what were you going to say-.." but he was interrupted by Viola's yawning.
"Ah man, I'm tired. I think I'm going to bed." She said tiredly.
"But you said you were going to tell us what you were doing here!" Trunks exclaimed impatiently.
"Now Trunks, it is late and she probably had a tiring day, didn't you." Bulma said to Trunks then to Viola at the last part.
"Yeah, I guess..."
Bulma responded, "Well then, I'll show you your room for tonight."
"Thank you so much. Good Night, Trunks." Viola bowed to show respect to himand the ladies were off again leaving Trunks sitting alone.
'Something isn't right. She is up to something I know it, but what!' Trunks then decided he would go to bed too after saying good night to his mother. At morning, Trunks woke up with a yawn, sitting up, and stretching. He walked to his window across the room and his eyes looked like they were going to pop right out!
"What the hell..."
