The Past and Future
Sorry for being away for so long. I've been busy with all kind of things. Here's chapter 6. Hope you enjoy reading it ^^
Chapter 6
"Don't forget to get your parents' or guardian's signature. You have to submit the form tomorrow," reminded Amy for second time. The children nodded and packed their bags.
Bula folded the form nicely and put it in her bag. She was ready to go home. Trunks had already waited for her at the front gate. She waved her friends goodbye and left with her brother.
"Miss Amy wanted you to sign this form," Bula showed the form to Trunks after lunch. "It's the form for our cross country tomorrow."
"Cross country?" Trunks frowned and read the form.
"Yes, cross country. You see, Onii-chan, we have to run around the village. We're going there by bus," said Bula happily. She couldn't wait to cross country for the next day.
"Isn't it marathon?" asked Trunks.
Bula pondered a while. "Well, Miss Amy said that it's going to be a cross country."
Trunks chuckled. "It's the same, Bula. In marathon, you have to run just like cross country."
"Miss Amy also told us to bring our own lunch. After running, we're going to have a picnic on a hill."
"What do you want for lunch then? Onigiri? Rice curry?" asked Trunks. Since Bula lived with him, he usually did the cooking.
"Let's see…umm…I would like to have a hamburger," she grinned. "You see, my friend, Lisa always brings hamburger for lunch."
"Hamburger is not good for your health. As the Saiyan, we need to eat healthy foods such as rice and vegetables. So, it's decided. I'll cook rice curry for you tomorrow." Trunks signed the form and handed it to Bula. Then he stretched his arms. "I'm going to do a little bit training. Want to join?" he asked.
Bula nodded happily and changed to her training suits. She often trained with Trunks lately and she wanted to be strong like Trunks and Bezita.
The next day…
"Onii-chan, I'm ready!" Bula shouted. She was wearing her P.E suits and waiting for Trunks at the main door.
"I'm coming!" Trunks headed to the main door with a lunch box and bottle in his hand. "This is your lunch box. And here's your drink. Make sure you drink a lot of water after running, okay?"
"Okay," she took the lunch box and drinking bottle. "Let's go!"
Trunks sent Bula off to her kindergarten where everyone was waiting for the bus. Amy was there too and she was delighted to see Bula and Trunks.
"Are you ready for the marathon, Bula?" Amy asked.
Bula nodded happily. "I can't wait, Miss Amy!"
"Make sure that she stays out of trouble. She's been talking about the marathon the whole night. I hope that she won't bring you trouble, Amy," said Trunks.
"No, nothing at all. I'll take care of her. Don't worry. Bula, say goodbye to you brother," Amy smiled.
Bula and her friends waved to Trunks as he was leaving with his car. Trunks waved back at them. Few minutes later, the bus arrived. The children queued to board the bus. Three teachers accompanied them and told them the do's and the don'ts.
They reached the country side in 20 minutes. Bula was so excited to see the houses, the cows and the horses. The children got off the bus and they couldn't wait to cross country. After a short briefing, the children started to make a run in a slow pace. Bula and her friends, Luna and Riko, ran in the same pace together. And sometimes they stopped to look at the cows and chickens.
It was nearly afternoon and they were having their lunch after running. Bula sat with her friends and ate her lunch together. They even shared their lunch. After lunch, they went back home by bus. Bula was so tired that she slept on the way back to school.
When Bula woke up, she was already home. Trunks fetched her at school and tucked her into bed. She slowly got up from bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes and went to the living room where Trunks was watching TV.
"Hey, you awake?" Trunks smiled at her and picked her up and put her on his lap. Bula yawned.
"I'm hungry," says Bula in her sleepy voice.
Trunks chuckled and carried his sleepy little sister to the kitchen. He already cooked something for Bula. Bula ate heartily and praised his brother's cooking. Then she told everything what she saw during the cross country. She was fascinated with cows and hoped that one day she'll have a cow of her own. Trunks laughed as he listened to her story.
"We can go to Aunt Cici's house this weekend and I'll take you to see some horses. You love horses?" asked Trunks.
"I love horses! Let's go now!" Bula chirped.
"I told you we're going there this weekend. I promise. Finish your meal, Bula. After this you have to take a bath," said Trunks.
Bula nodded and ate happily.
