Goma looked down toward the Earth. Saru had told her to try to see if she could see anything.
"Okay Saru I give up, where is it?" she asked.
"Look at America," he stated, looking toward North America.
Across the whole country, lights were flashing in the air, each exploding at different heights. Reds, whites, and blues colored the large country from sea to sea. From the Lookout, it looked as if each firework was an exploding star, and they were looking down on them. Some twirled around and burst into sparks, while others were shot straight towards the sky.
"This is incredible!" Goma exclaimed.
Saru stared down at the displays and only muttered small, "yeah."
Goma laid down on her stomach at the edge of the lookout. She placed her head on top of her hands and watched the colorful country. She thought of all the families down there enjoying all the festivities. Her mind wandered to her own family. She couldn't believe what was happening. Her parents were getting a divorce. Her dad had cheated with her mom on Kashtan and Kastanie's mom, and now Marron was pregnant.
"Saru..." Goma said
"What?" He asked looking away from the bright lights.
"Why do you think Dad cheated on Mom?"
Saru knew this was coming and sighed, "I don't know, maybe your mom is to young for him. Maybe they don't spend enough time together. Perhaps he just got bored of her. But Goma, don't worry. It wasn't your fault. Don't ever think it was, okay?"
Goma had already began to blame herself for the break up, but the more she thought of it the lees it maade sense. Her mind had told her it wasn't her fault, but her heart discouraged her and blamed her for the whole thing. Hearing Saru tell her that it wasn't true made her feel a little better, but still...
"Hey Goma, look over toward the Atlantic."
She did as she was told and saw thousands of fire works all going off at the same time. Some formed butterflies, others were hearts. The most amazing of all came from a coastal area near a peninsula in huge red, white, and blue letters the sparks spelled out U.S.A. Soon after the fire works died down, the East coast was dark again, save the city lights. Across the country the same thing happened, it swept across the nation, until the last fire work haad gone out. Once in a while one would spontaneously pop up, but it was nothing compared to the army of fireworks that they had been watching before.
"We should get to bed," Saru suggested.
He looked down to see Goma already asleep. He picked up his little cousin and swung her over his shoulder, holding her up with one hand, the other swung lazily at his side. As he passed through the Lookout, he noticed that no one was awake.
After Goma had flown away in tears, the table erupted into arguments. Some were about the affair, others were about whether or not the couple should just forgive each other. Saru sat there, unsure of what to say. After a while he had sneaked out to find Goma, and found her ki with another powerful one. The second ki was more powerful than his own and he became curious of what it was. He followed them into the alley, bringing his ki as low as possible. Goma couldn't sense ki, but the other one might.
He watched the two for a while, making sure his cousin was out of danger. Then watched the boy fly away. Goma called him out and the rest you already know.
Saru slipped into the spare bedroom set aside for Goma. He softly took her off his shoulder and placed her above the covers. He looked over to her bag and saw the mysterious pole he had found 'That's strange, I thought we accidentally left that at home,' he thought. 'Trunks must have went back and grabbed it.' He shrugged the thought away and left for his own bedroom.
Trunks Briefs was an honest man. He honestly had loved Pan, but he honestly realized she was to young for him. He had tried to tell her about problems related to his age, but she was still to childish to understand. They were unable to emphasize with each other, which is what lead Trunks to Marron. She was having marriage troubles of her own. Uub was always away, sure he was saving some kids from muggers, or stopping a bank robbery, but he never had any time for her anymore.
The two talked about their struggles, and became close to each other. Very close. One night, while Trunks was at a "conference" he met Marron at her house. They had each been drinking, and one thong led to another. The next morning, Trunks found himself naked in Marron's bed. He quickly dressed and waited for Marron to get up so they could talk about what happened. The two agreed that it was a "drunken mistake" but deep inside, each had new feelings for the other.
Before Trunks, Pan, Goma, and Saru had left, the phone rang. Pan was still in the house and answered it. On the other end was a crying Marron. In between sobs, she explained what had happened that night and that she was pregnant. Pan tried to calm her down, as best as any one who's friend had just betrayed them could. She hung up the phone and calmly walked outside.
At the Lookout, Pan had pulled Trunks aside and explained the situation to him. Horror had filled his face. The couple talked it over and decided that they would be best off if they went their separate ways. When they had announced it at the dinner, Marron began to cry, and Uub, he looked completely crushed. Trunks knew that he had made a huge mistake. He knew that because of it, his whole family would suffer, even those who weren't family would suffer. But he had made it, and he wished the Dragon Balls were back so he could get rid of the whole situation.
"Trunks?" a small voice was at the door to his room.
"Hi, Marron," he said in a sad voice, "What's up?"
There were tears in her eyes and hurt in her voice, "Uub kicked me out of the bed, and I noticed Pan wasn't with you in your's, so would you mind if for just one night we could... um..."
As if he read her mind, Trunks moved to one side of the king sized bed, leaving room for Marron "Sure, any time," he said with a smile.
Marron hopped into the bed and snuggled into the blankets. Trunks watched aas she got comfortable. Then got up the courage to ask the question he had been wondering all night long. "What are you going to do with the baby?"
"I... I don't know. I just don't know," the tears in her eyes became rivers and she sobbed into the pillow. Trunks went over to comfort her, and as he put his hand on her back a certain raven haired girl walked into the room.
"Trunks, I-" Pan was cut off by the sight before her. They had agreed on a divorce only a few hours ago, and now he was already with the girl that caused the whole thing!
"No! Pan it's not what it looks like! Can I just explain?" He called as she ran out of the room.
Pan flew to the mountains. More specifically, Goku's old house. She used to always come here when she was sad or depressed. Pan was in tears. Her husband had left her, her grandpa was still nowhere to be found, her son along with him. Now on top of it all, her best friend was pregnant with her husband's child and she still would share a bed with him and cuddle with him? Why would Dende do this. Then she reminded her self, Dende doesn't control people, people control themselves. So why was she blaming Dende? Pan figured it was easier to blame him rather than her best friend and husband.
"Pan! Pan!" She heard Trunks calling.
'Let him see me like this,' she thought. 'Let him see what he did.'
Trunks approached his wife. He noticed her tears glisten in the moonlight, knowing that they were caused by him.
"There you are!" He said approaching her. "We were worried about you"
Pan didn't speak, she just continued to cry into her hands.
"Remember the first day your grandpa left. You were sitting outside and I sensed your ki. I left my house to go and find you. You were sitting where he had left. You were just sitting there, staring out into space. And you were crying. You were crying so much. But you know what I remember the most about that night? I remember crouching down next to you and whispering into your ear. You remember what I whispered, don't you?"
She broke away from her hands to answer in a whispering voice, "You whispered, 'Every door shut is a new door open.' But I like the door I was in before Trunks. I liked it more than the one that just opened."
"How do you know?" Trunks got up and flew back to the Lookout.
Spich couldn't stop thinking about the girl he had met. Goma. The name flew around his head like a swarm of bees. She was the first girl he had ever really gotten to know, yet she seemed familiar. Maybe it was her eyes, they seemed a lot like his uncle's, but that didn't make sense. He had never seen anyone with eyes like that, and she couldn't be a relative, his whole family was dead. Uncle Raditz had told him so.
He went up to his uncle to confront his about the girl. "Uncle Raditz?"
"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy training?"
"It's just I found this girl in the woods..."
"Did you mate with her or kill her?" Raditz asked, momentarily stopping his training.
"What, oh, no. Neither. She looked a lot like you actually."
This caught Ratitz's attention, "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, she had the same color eyes as you and the same color hair. I've never seen another person with the same color eyes as you so I was just wondering. Do you think she's a relative?"
Raditz knew his plan would fail if he didn't handle this correctly. He began to formulate a story. "No, she's not a relative. She may be the offspring of a Son, some of them have the same eyes as me, but most likely it was just a coincidence." 'Yeah, perfect.'
Spich didn't quite buy it, but let his uncle have the satisfaction of thinking he had made a good story. He let it go for now and continued his training. The tournament wasn't to far away.
I should have given more time, but here's a good question: Who should win the tournament?
Participating so far in the Junior division: Goma, Saru, Kashtan, Kastanie, Kami/Spich, and 27 other young competitors! (Most I have yet to name and probably won't)
In the Adult division I will not tell yet!
