Trunks flew at top speed through the sky and as he landed on the back lawn he rushed inside the house. He came into his parent's room to see his sister and father right by his mother's side. "Dad."

"She's been asking for you son."

Trunks sat on the bed beside his mother who was frail and sweaty. She took his hand. "I-I'm ok sweetie nothing sleep won't solve, but I had a dream, Goten he'll die if you don't save him."

"Mom I-

"No excuses. You love him don't you?" said Bulma as Vegeta and Bulla's eyes widened in surprise at her abruptness.

"Yes I do, but he just went through a difficult break up. I can't it's just too soon."

His mother sat up suddenly and brought her feet to the floor and stood up. She walked over to the window and looked out at the beautiful sky. Bulma faced her family and took Vegeta's hand in her own. She felt him grip her hand but not to tight. "Trunks I love your father. He's my soul mate. I know all about almost losing him. Could you handle losing the one thing that matters to you most in this world? Don't be afraid of taking chances."

Bulma tired herself out, so Vegeta lied her back down on the bed. "Are you happy now boy? You tired out your mother."

"Oh I almost forgot. Goku's back." He watched as his mother smiled. Her eyes closed, and she drifted off.

Trunks walked out of the room with Bulla right behind her. Vegeta closed the door behind them. "Kakarott's return is not of my concern. While it's good news for his family and friends, your mother is my top priority." He went back into the room, leaving his children in surprise.

"Did, did you just see what I saw?" asked Bulla.

"Yeah I did. I don't believe it."

"Dad's a romantic."

"Ok gross, I didn't not need to hear that."

"Alright fine so you love Goten."

"Can I admit something to?"

"Sure Bulla you know you can tell me anything."

"I have a boyfriend. You know him his name is Uub. We've been dating for two months. I haven't' told mom and dad because I'm afraid dad will kill him, so I hope you can keep this a secret."

"Bulla."

"Please big brother. I'll do anything. Ooo I know I can give you tips to seduce Goten."

"Ok no I don't need you to help me with my love life, but I won't tell mom and dad I promise."

"Oh thank you Trunks." She hugged him.

"No problem Bulla."

"So Goku's back. His family must be overjoyed. How did he get back anyway? I thought the dragon balls couldn't be used."

"They weren't. King Kai was able to think of a way."

"That doesn't make sense. Why would he out of the blue think of this?"

"I don't know."

Bulla smiled. "You do know the real reason don't you?"

"Yes, but I've been sworn to secrecy."

"Well you don't have to tell me. I'll figure it out."

"Oh yeah. How?"

Bulla closed her eyes and searched her feelings. Trunks was looking at her weirdly. Suddenly, tears ran down her face as she opened her eyes. She faced Trunks. "Oh my kami I- wow. I don't believe it. "Goten. He did it for his family. What a guy? You've got to consider yourself lucky Trunks."

"I do." His voice did not waver.

Bulla saw the feeling in his eyes and was blown away. His eyes were so serious, so passionate. "Trunks."

"Mom's right. I can't let him go. I love him. I don't know what I was thinking all this time. Pushing him away was hurting me but being near him feels powerful. I feel alive."

"So what are you going to do about it?"

"I'm going to tell him how I feel."

"How do you want to do it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well don't you want to tell him how you feel somewhere special?"

"Oh yeah. I wonder why I didn't think of that?"

"Your a guy. It's ok I'll help you. Now we just have to figure out when the perfect time would be?"

Trunks's phone rang. "Hello. Hey Videl. Sure no problem we'll be there tomorrow." Trunks smirked. "I think I found the perfect place. Chi-chi's throwing a welcome back to earth party for Goku. Everyone's going to be there. What better way?"

"I was wrong. You are so the romantic."

Trunks smiled at his sister.
