Chapter 19: How I Feel

Before Trunks, 18 and Zangya boarded the spaceship Zangya and Kaeda said their goodbyes.

Zangya: "I'm glad you found your mom Kaeda."

Kaeda: "Yeah, but I'm going to miss you Zangya. You'll come back and visit me right?"

Zangya: "Um yeah of course. You may not need me to take care of you anymore, but will always be friends."

They gave each other a hug goodbye.

Kaeda: "Oh and can you take care of Mai for me? The two of you can think about me together that way.

Zangya giggled: "Well This is going to be hard to explain to Mai, but okay I'll do it."

Kaeda walked over to Trunks and crossed her arms: "Thanks for coming here to help save me. I guess I'm not mad at you anymore."

Trunks laughed: "That's good to know Kaeda." (He gave her a pat on the head.)

Rina: "Farewell and thank you all."

They boarded the spaceship and took off.

18: "Well it looks like everything worked out okay, oh and Trunks are you hurt at all from your fight with Karis?"

Trunks: "No, I'm fine."

18: "I guess that was a dumb question. I should know you by now."

Trunks laughed

18: "Hey where did Zangya go?"

Trunks: "I have a feeling of where she is."

Zangya was in the medical room with one of her shoes off and her pants leg rolled up a but. Her ankle was burned and she was looking throw the cabinet.

Zangya: "Man I can't find anything I need."

Trunks walked in: "That's because you've never been in here before."

Zangya let out a sigh of frustration and looked at Trunks.

Trunks: "I knew you got hurt when you pushed Rina out of the way from that blast. You don't need to hide it."

Zangya: "I wasn't trying to hide it. I just didn't want to make a big deal about it because it's not a big deal."

Trunks: "Okay if you say so. (he walked over to her and closed to cabinet she had open.) Just go over there and sit down. I can get the stuff you need."

Trunks started to walk in a different direction and Zangya went to go sit down. Without Trunks looking Zangya smiled at him softly. Trunks got a cream type of medicine out of a drawer and some bandages from a cabinet.

Trunk walked over to Zangya: "Okay I got some medicine and I can wrap it, but the medicine might sting a bit."

Zangya: "What are you talking about. You know I'm taught, not like most of your average Earth girls." (she smiled.)

Trunks: "Right. (He opened the medicine and applied it to her burn.) By the way, I'm sorry we didn't get Kaeda back the way we planned."

Zangya: "That's okay. I'm just glad she's going to be with her mom now and she deserves that. I'm going to miss her though, but there is one thing about her I'm not going to miss."

Trunks now pulling out the bandage: "What's that?"

Zangya: "For some reason she is convinced that I have a crush on you, She would tease me about it every time your name came up."

Trunks blush a bit and began to wrap her leg: "Oh she did?…Kids huh."

Zangya: "Yeah and the funny thing is 18 thought the same thing when we we're on our way to the planet."

Trunks blushed even further and was done wrapping her ankle. He stood straight up and was about to eye to eye with her because she was sitting on the medical table.

Zangya looked down at her foot for a second: "Thanks Trunks, good as new. You know what I've been thinking about it and I realize Kaeda and 18 are right. I do like you. (Trunks looked amazed.) I don't know how you feel, but it's like I said before, being honest with you is the least I could do after all you've done."

Trunks: "How I feel? (Trunks zoned out, thinking about some of his moments with Zangya, These moments involved when Zangya said she was going to take care of Kaeda, when he saved her from Karis, the first time she said his name, how she thanked him for everything with a kiss and the time she said 'we trust you Trunks.' He then looked back at Zangya.) The truth is…I like you too Zangya."

Zangya slightly gasped because she didn't expect him to return her feelings, but she looked very happy. She lent in to kiss Trunks and Trunks did the same; putting his two hands on each of her shoulders. Their kiss was longer and meant much more then their first. When They lent out both Trunks and Zangya blushed and looked at each other, not knowing what to say next.

18 just walked into the room: "Oh here you two are."

Both of them turned to her like they were hiding something.

18 crossed her arms: "Okay…so what did I just walk in on huh?"

Zangya: "Trunks was just helping me with my ankle. I got a burn from that idiot Karis."

18: "So that's all that was happening; yeah right…but I'll let it go and give you a break because of your burn."

Trunks and Zangya smiled nervously.

18: "Well anyway it looks like we're almost to earth."

The ship negation went off: "Approaching earth. Approaching earth."

18: "See what did I tell you."

They landed outside Capsule Corp. They got off the spaceship, but before they went inside 18 turned to Trunks and said, "Um, Trunks I have to go somewhere. It's important so it can't wait. Tell Bulma hi for me." (She then flew off.)

Trunks: "Wait, when will you be back?"

18 was already too far away to answer.

Zangya: "Where did she go in such a hurry?"

Trunks: "I have no idea. Anyway Zangya you were living in Kaeda's spaceship before right? (She nodded.) Well since it's gone now would you like to stay here? My mom wouldn't mind. This place is huge and she likes the company."

Zangya: "Are you just asking me that because you feel sorry for me because I don't have a place to go to?"

Trunks: "I'm asking you because I want to get to know you even more."

Zangya: "I want to get to know you more too Trunks. Okay I'll stay. (she paused for a second, thinking.) I'm not trying to be pushy or anything, but I'm just asking because, well you know I'm not from earth…Does this like mean…we're dating?"

Trunks: "Well…that's what I would call it…your okay with that right?"

Zangya: "Of course."

They smiled at each other and right then Bulma came out.

Bulma: "I thought I heard you guys. Why haven't you come in yet and where's 18 and Kaeda? Everything did go okay, didn't it?"

Trunks: "Yes. It turned out Kaeda's mom was on the planet and she was able to transfer Eldore out of her. In the end the two of them decided to stay on their home planet. Ask for 18, for some reason she just took off somewhere when we got here. She said it was important and said to say hi to you."

Bulma: "Aww, that's too bad. I wanted to thank her."

Trunks: "Huh…Thank her for what?
