Chapter 13: Welcome To Earth

Trunks and 18 made it back to Capsule Corp.

Bulma: "Wow you two were gone for a long time. How did everything go?"

18: "Trunks can fill you in, but I'm going to go clean up." (She said as she walked up the stairs.)

Bulma: "Well Trunks?"

Trunks smiled at her, knowing she was going to love what he was going to tell her. Trunks explained to his mom everything that happened and how he was able to hear Goku and Vegeta's voice.

Bulma: "Trunks, I'm so glad that you were able to talk to them. It's so wonderful that they were able to be there for you."

Trunks: "I know, I'm glad too."

The next morning Zangya was walking around in a deserted area; it happened to be the same spot where Trunks and Vail had there battle. She was walking around with her arms folded and wearing a angry yet confused face.

Zangya: That damn Saiyan, how dare he kill all of my comrades and then just expect me to do what he says!

Trunks words then popped out of Zangya's memory: "If you promise never to hurt an innocent person again, I'd be willing to spare you."

Zangya: It was nice of him to let me go though. Bojack and those other guys I was with wouldn't have done that. But still, because of him I'm alone now…What should I do now?

All of the sudden a space ship landed interrupting Zangya's thoughts. No one came out though.

Zangya: "What the…I wonder who's in there? I got nothing better to do, I guess I'll check it out."

She flew over to the spaceship and landed right in front of door. Before she could figure out what was the best way to open it the door slid opened to show a little girl. The little girl had salmon colored skin, black hair tied up from pigtails and she was wearing a green dress with black tights. The girl also had a small cat like creature next to her, who had orange, brown fur.

Zangya: A little girl?

The girl smiled looking up at Zangya: "Well hi there, I wasn't expecting on seeing anyone too soon. I did land in a pretty empty space. (The little girl then flew around Zangya, inspecting her and landed back in front of the door.) Wow you're very pretty. (Zangya blushed a bit.) So what's your name?"

Zangya: "Zangya…and who are you?"

Little girl: "My name is Kaeda (the cat creature jumped on her shoulder.) and this is my friend Mai."

Zangya: "So what are you doing here kid?"

Kaeda: "What I'm not a kid! I happen to be six and a half."

Zangya: "Six and a half huh? So what's you're age range for a kid?"

Kaeda: "I don't know, but that range doesn't include me!"

Zangya: "Whatever just answer the question well ya."

Kaeda: "Well a while ago my uncle came to this planet. I was staying with my uncle's friend who was monitoring his visit here. I over heard him talking to someone about how this one guy destroyed my uncle and a girl helped him do it. I snuck away and I came here to find those jerk heads and avenge my uncle."

Zangya: Wait a minute is she talking about Vail? "Kid, what was your uncle's name?"

Kaeda didn't answer and just gave her a mean look

Zangya: "I'm sorry, I mean Kaeda, what was your uncle's name?"

Kaeda: "Vail, why?"

Zangya: "No reason, just was curious. Oh and do you know who were the two who killed Vail?"

Kaeda: "I don't know what they look like, but I know their names. Trunks, and the girl's name is really silly, 18. I'm going to go find them and make them wish they were never born right aw- (her stomach growled.)…right after I have some food."

Zangya: "Um that's a nice plan and all, but have you even considered that maybe you're not as strong as them?"

Kaeda: "Of course I'm stronger. (She spent doing a kick in the air and landed back down.) My uncle, himself was taught me some skills."

Zangya lightly laughed at the girl's cute kick

Kaeda: "Anyway you want to come inside and have some food with me? It's been lonely in this ship all by myself. (Mai meowed.) Of course I've been glad to be around you Mai. So what do you say Zangya?"

Zangya: "I guess that'll be okay. I am hungry."

Kaeda then led Zangya inside the ship

Kaeda: "Yay! I made a new friend!" (She said throwing her hands in the air.)

Zangya: Yeah and while I'm here I can try to talk you out of fighting that Saiyan and Android.

Back at Capsule Corp, Trunks was sitting alone on the couch flipping through channels. A flashback popped into his mind =

As soon as 18 had come down the stairs that morning his mom walked straight into the room.

Bulma: "Hey 18, I think it's time for a little bit of girl time. What do you say you and I go shopping?"

End Flash back

Trunks: Who could have thought my mom and android 18 would end up going shopping together? So much has changed.

Dende interrupted his thought: "Trunks, I thought I should let you know something."

Trunks: "What is it Dende?"

Dende: "Not that long ago I saw a space ship land on earth in the same place you and Vail fought."
Trunks: "Do you know who's on it?"

Dende: "No idea, but I'm pretty sure they're from the same planet as Vail."

Trunks: "Okay then I should go check it out."

Dende: "Would you like me to contact 18 and tell her to meet you there?"

Trunks: "No that's okay, no need to interrupt their day, I'll handle this. After all, I know I'm a lot stronger than Vail ever was so I'm sure someone else from their planet, wont be a problem."

Back at the spaceship Zangya and Kaeda were eating. Mai was eating out of a small dish on top of the table.
Zangya: "So you let your cat eat on the table like that?"

Kaeda: "Yeah, is that a problem?"

Zangya: No, it's just that if I was your mother I would so not let you do that.

Kaeda: "Well it so happens that I don't have a mother…at least not anymore."

Zangya: "Oh…I'm sorry Kaeda. I didn't mean anything by it."

Kaeda: "I know. You see that's why I'm so mad at those two who killed my uncle. I really couldn't stand him, he was always mean to me, but ever since I lost my mother he started taking care of me, but now I'm all on my own."

Zangya: All on your own, that sounds familiar.

Kaeda: "Anyway, I'm done with my food now. I should really start looking for them. (Kaeda got up from her chair.) We should say bye now."

Zangya: Oh no. There is no way I can let this little girl go fight them. I don't think they're capable of killing a kid, but she could get hurt.

Kaeda: "Hello! Zangya…"

Zangya: "Oh sorry. I was just thinking you have plenty of time later to fight them and get your revenge, but how about now we hang out for a while first?"

Kaeda looked confused.

Zangya: "You see I'm on my own too and I was just thinking if we get to know each other we could both be happy. So what do you think?"

Kaeda smiled: "Sure I guess I can find them later."

Zangya: "That's goo. Well I want to go wash up from lunch. Where's the bathroom?"

Kaeda pointed down a hall: "That way."

Zangya: "Okay I'll be right back." Hopefully while I'm here you'll get the idea of going to find them out of your head.

Outside the ship Trunks arrived.

Trunks: It looks like whoever came is still in the ship. I can sense some energy.

Suddenly Trunks heard some scratching at the door.

Trunks: "What the?"

The door slid opened with a little girl looking down at her cat saying, "What is it Mai?" the little girl looked up and saw Trunks.

Kaeda: Wow, a cute boy! "Hello, can I help you?"

Trunks: "Umm…I…are you the only one who came on this ship kid?"

Kaeda: "First of all I'm not a kid, my name's Kaeda and second of all yes just me and Mai, here, came."

Trunks: Well I don't think she came here for world destruction. "Okay then I just stumbled on your spaceship and thought I would ask. I'll be on my way now."

He started to walk away, but before he knew it Kaeda grabbed his hand.

Kaeda: "Wait mister, why don't you come in and play with us? (she tugged him into the spaceship.) I promise we'll have lots of fun."

Trunks: "Um that's okay I should really be going." (he got free from her hand.)

Kaeda: "Aww…well maybe you can come back later and play."

Trunks: "Yeah maybe."

Kaeda: "Yay! Oh yeah before you leave, what's your name?"

Trunks: "It's Trunks."

At that same time Zangya walked in and caught Trunks' eyes and Kaeda took some steps back with a shocked face.

Kaeda: "Trunks?" (she said lightly to herself.)

Trunks: "Zangya, what are you doing here?!"

Zangya: Oh no, why'd he have to come here?! This isn't good! "I just got curious and came to see who landed in this spaceship. It's not a big deal, but I think it's time for you to leave."

Kaeda: "Zangya, what's going on? Are you friends with this guy or something?"

Zangya: "Us friends? No way!"

Kaeda: "That's good to know, so you wont mind if I kill him!"

Trunks: "What?"

Kaeda: "Your name's Trunks, you're the one who killed my uncle Vail!"

Trunks: "You're Vail's niece?"

Kaeda: "That's right, and you killed him and now I'm going to kill you! Prepare to meet your end!" (She got into a fighting stance.)

Trunks: "She sounds like Vail's niece all right."

Zangya: "Hold on, you're not really going to fight a little girl are you?'

Trunks: "I wasn't planning on it."

Zangya: "Oh you don't have to fight me, but you're still going to die by my hand. (She pulled out a gun looking object.) You see this, this is the most powerful weapon on my planet, one shot anywhere on your body and you'll be dead in seconds. The bullets are filled with a deadly poison."

Trunks got in a stance: "Looks like I don't have a choice."

Zangya walked in between them: "Okay I just can't stand here and watch this. (Trunks looked confused and got out of his stance.) Kaeda, you put that down right now!"

Kaeda: "But, Zangya." ( She said in a whinny voice.)

Zangya: "I said now young lady, put it down! I don't want you to get hurt!"
Kaeda: "But…but…" (She dropped the weapon and laid her face into her hands crying.)

Zangya picked her up and Kaeda laid on her shoulder crying.

Zangya turned to Trunks: "What is wrong with you?! She might be Vail's niece, but she still a little girl. Don't you know how to handle children?"

Trunks stunned: "Um how did you get to be so good with kids?"

Zangya: "Not as if you haven't noticed, but I am a girl and most of us are born with motherly instances."

Trunks: "Oh I see. (He got closer to them and picked up the gun.) Never pictured you as that type."

Zangya rolled her eyed at him.

Kaeda looked out from Zangya's shoulder and saw Trunks holding the weapon. She grabbed tightly onto Zangya: "Look out Zangya he was the gun now, he's going to kill us!"

Zangya: "Calm down Kaeda, he's not going to kill us."

Kaeda: "How do you know?!"

Trunks: "She's right Kaeda. I only picked it up to get rid of it." He crushed the gun in his hands.

Kaeda: "You jerk, that was mine!"

Trunks: "Kaeda, do you know why you're uncle came to this planet?"

She shook her head no.

Trunks: "He came to destroy it. I'm sorry this happened to you, but I had no choice."

Kaeda: "I don't care, he's all had left and he's gone, and I'm all alone. It's all your fault!" (She started crying into Zangya's shoulder again.

Zangya: "Yeah you're really not helping."

Kaeda looked up at Zangya: "You're not helping either. You were suppose to be my new friend, but you've been on his side!" (still crying.)

Zangya: "I am not on his side. I only did this because I was worried you might get hurt and stop saying you're alone, cause I'm here with you now, so just stop crying."

Kaeda: "okay." (She said quietly wiping away her tears.)

Zangya sat her down and Kaeda ran into the other room.

Trunks: "So you're going to take care of her now?"

Zangya crossed her arms: "Yeah, you got a problem with that?"

Trunks: "No, I just wasn't expecting it."

Zangya: "Yeah neither was I, but it looks like me and her are in the same boat so we might as well stick together."

Trunks: "Who knew you had a soft spot for kids."

Zangya: "whatever."

Trunks: "I guess I should leave now before she throws a tantrum." (He started to walk towards the door.)

Zangya: "Wait."

Trunks turned back around.

Zangya slightly blushed: "Thanks…for keeping a cool head in this situation…and for letting me go the other day. Not many fighters are that nice."

Trunks was speechless.

Zangya: I thought I should tell you that just in case we meet again. That way it wont be so awkward."

Trunks smiled: "By that do you mean you want to forget about our first meeting and start over?"

Zangya: "I guess you could say that."

Trunks: "Right…It looks like letting you go was a good choice." (he then left.)

Zangya started blushing: I didn't notice before, but he's not only nice, but he's also cute .
