I Do NOT Own Dragon Ball Z, Akira Toriyama Does.
Please Review!
Skylar blinked back her tears and looked away. "When?" She asked clenching her fists.
"Sometime after you left. I'm sorry Skylar.." He trailed off and looked at her. He noticed her back was turned to him, "Skylar...?" Her shoulders were visibly shaking and she took a step forward.
"Where are you going?" Skylar didn't answer him and started to run, "Skylar wait! Where are you going?!" Trunks started running after her and just as he was about to grab her shoulder, she took off flying at full speed.
"Damn it!" Trunks powered up to a super saiyan and flew after her. Skylar noticed, and she too powered up to a super saiyan. She flew until she reached a lake near her house in the mountains and landed, breaking into a run. When she entered her house she slowed, and noticed that most of the Z fighters were there. She hated the way they looked at her as she passed them. 'Pitiful', that's the only way they ever looked at her, since the time when Goku had not wanted to come back from Namek. She ran through the open door to her mother's bedroom and stopped at the scene before her. She saw her mother crying, Gohan and Ox King trying to comfort her. Chichi noticed Skylar standing at the doorway, "Oh Skylar I'm sorry, I'm so sorry honey." Chichi started crying again and Skylar walked over saw the letter on the bed. She picked it up and read it, her eyes started to sting as new tears began to fall. Skylar suddenly felt a strong hand on her shoulder and she looked up.
"I'm sorry kiddo." Gohan looked down at her sadly, blinking away his tears. Skylar looked out into the hall and saw that almost everybody was sitting around. She angrily shook out of Gohan's grasp.
"Why is everyone just sitting around crying instead of looking for him?!" Gohan cringed and looked away. "We haven't been doing that it's just that," he looked at her and said, "When someone's life force can't be sensed anymore, it means.."
"No! Don't you dare say that Gohan! Dad's not dead!" She cut him off and ran out of the house, running to the only place she knew.
"I can't believe Goku's gone." Bulma silently said to herself and to no one in particular she said, "But, I still wonder why he left?" She wiped at her tears. Vegeta looked at her, "Woman I hardly know what goes through Kakarott's head, how am I suppose to know his motives for leaving?" He said gently to her.
Vegeta turned to look at Tunks. Trunks knew what that look meant and went after her. He saw her run into the forest that Gohan had once taken them to. He kept running, but the farther he ran the darker it got making it harder for him to see where Skylar was going. 'Damn, how does she know where she's going, without getting lost?' He stumbled over tree roots and jutting rocks. When he almost felt like giving up, he noticed it. If he had not been paying attention, he would have missed it. He discovered a small path that had more light shining through the thickly packed trees, he ran until he could hear some sort of waterfall nearby. Trunks pushed through some bushes and saw what brought a nostalgic feeling. There in front of him, was the lake where he and Skylar had played in, back when they were six years old.
'Back when she use to look just like Goku.' He shook his head and continued searching for the black-haired saiyan. He walked along the edge of the lake and noticed a patch of tall grass . 'Weird, how come I don't remember that being there?' He silently crept towards it and looked over it. He found Skylar and noticed that she had fallen asleep, or at least he hoped she was. He gently scooped her up and took to the air.
'It's already night time, I wonder if anyone's worried?' Trunks flew back to the Son house and touched down. He went around the house and found Skylar's bedroom window. He quietly opened it and went into her bedroom. He set her down on her bed and pulled a blanket over her. Trunks walked into the dimly lit hallway towards the living room, he stopped when he heard voices in there. He looked in and saw his sister-in-law talking to Chichi.
"I don't know what I'm suppose to do Bulma, with the baby and all I-I just don't know anymore."
"Chichi, you need to stop crying, it's not doing you or the baby any good. Moreover, it's not going to bring him back. I know you're in pain right now, but please, stop crying. It's bad for the baby and the kids." Chichi wiped her cheeks, sitting upright suddenly.
"I can't believe I forgot about Skylar!" Chichi looked at Bulma wide-eyed, "Do you think Trunks found her?"
"I'm almost positive he did." Bulma suddenly got an idea, "You know, I think he has a crush on Skylar."
"You noticed the same thing too? Heck, even Vegeta noticed, oh do you have any idea of what beautiful grand-babies I'm going to have!?"
"We have to get those two together!" Bulma and Chichi started talking babies and random ideas. Trunks stared at the wall in front of him, his eye started to twitch.
'What the hell? Goku hasn't even been gone a day and they're already planning out our life?' He shook his head and didn't notice the footsteps walking towards him, until he felt someone grab his shoulder. He swiftly turned around and was met with Vegeta's glare.
"What are you doing Trunks?" He said quietly as he too, noticed the excited voices coming from the living room. Vegeta walked in along with Trunks, Chichi and Bulma quickly picked up their tea cups and pretended to drink tea. Trunks could feel their eyes following his every movement, making him uncomfortable.
"So Trunks, did you find Skylar?" Bulma asked him, trying her best not to giggle. Vegeta noticed and before Trunks could reply, Vegeta answered for him. "The brat's fine, now tell me at once what is going on woman."
"Nothing's going on! Vegeta you're just being paranoid." Bulma giggled and continued to sip at her tea. Trunks looked at Bulma then at Chichi, knowing damn well what was going on, he sighed and sat on couch. Gohan walked through the threshold and made his way to the couch, taking a seat next to Trunks.
"Would you look at that, it's already dark." Bulma said as she stood up. "I guess we should start going, I'll stop by tomorrow to check up on things if you don't mind Chi."
"Not at all Bulma, you know you're always welcomed here." Vegeta watched Bulma closely, still trying to figure out why the women were acting so giddy when Trunks had walked in. He looked at Trunks, who was currently in deep conversation with Gohan.
"They can't hide everything from me." He said to himself quietly as he walked outside to wait in the car. Trunks watched as Vegeta went to wait in the car and decided that he too, should go.
"Later Gohan."
"Later Trunks, you're coming over tomorrow right?"
"Umm..." His eyes darted to where Bulma and Chichi were talking and suddenly they turned around and looked at him, making him uncomfortable. "S-sure, I'll see you tomorrow." He said blushing as he walked past Bulma and Chichi, he quickly walked outside and got in the car. Gohan raised his eyebrows as he watched his friend walked away.
"Okaay, that was weird."
