Wishes from the Heart – Chapter 17
-Five days later-
Breanna paused outside Capsule Corporation. She hesitated before pushing the doorbell. I hope Goku doesn't kill me for this! She fidgeted, waiting for someone to open the door. A sliver of fear ran through her as she heard footsteps hurrying towards the front. Someone jerked the door open.
Bulma stared at her in surprise. "Hi! Um...weren't you supposed to go back to your world?" Breanna nodded. She took a shaky breath.
"Could I come in for a moment?"
Bulma nodded her head, watching her curiously. Breanna quickly sat down on the living room couch, the other woman following close behind. Nobody said anything.
"Is something wrong?" Bulma finally asked, her voice quiet. She watched Trista's sister nod her head. She gasped.
"Trista," she whispered.
Breanna studied the floor, then looked up at her. She didn't say anything. She didn't have to.
"What's going on?" Bulma demanded, scared out of her wits.
"Well," Breanna started, "we were supposed to leave a couple days ago," she watched as Bulma nodded. "We were at my apartment. We both were tired so me and Trista decided to wait until the next day to travel back to our world." She paused, swallowing.
"And?" Bulma softly prompted.
"She was gone! I woke up, and after eating breakfast, I realized Trista hadn't got up yet. Well, I went to her room and called her name, she didn't answer. She was gone!" Breanna sobbed.
"I can't find her! I don't know where she went!"
Bulma felt the blood drain from her face. Her lips felt stiff.
"Oh My God!"
"I've been searching everywhere. I can't find her!"
Bulma's eyes narrowed in thought. She turned suddenly to Breanna.
"Did you try the park?" she asked abruptly.
Breanna looked up, confusion in her eyes.
"Whenever she needed to think," Bulma explained, "she always went to the park. To the bench near the woods."
Breanna was quiet for a moment. She gasped.
Bulma studied her. "What?"
She looked back at the blue-haired woman. "That's where mom and dad found her!" she whispered.
