"Trunks?" I squeaked, a lump forming in my throat. Yeah, I'm shocked...
Trunks stood up and walked towards me. "Feels like it's been forever since we've seen each other."
I gave him a half smile as I looked at him when he stood in front of me, I was still about as tall, or taller, as him. "No kidding. How have you been?" I said.
He shrugged. "Pretty good. Boring most of the time, but good."
I laughed softly. "You're not the only one."
He had definitely grown some in the last year. He was a few inches taller than the last time I saw him, which added to him looking a little older and more mature. He wore the same clothes that he had been wearing when I first met him, but he was wearing a blue denim jacket with the Capsule Corp. logo on the left shoulder.
"So what brings you here to the past?" I asked curiously.
He scratched the back of his head. "Well, I actually came back to get you."
I raised an eyebrow and stared at him in puzzlement. "Uh... What?" I asked nervously.
Trunks smiled at me softly. "I'm going to Planet Namek to wish everyone who died, in my time, back to life."
I nodded slowly, still a little confused. "Oh, Okay..." I tilted my head to the side. "And you need me because..?"
"I wanted to bring you with me because I thought it would be fun."
My expression brightened. "Sure! I'll have to tell Luke and Josh that I won't be visiting for a while though."
Trunks' shoulder slumped slowly and he looked down slightly, his eyebrows arching downward. "That's fine but... I don't think you'll be coming back."
I jerked my head back in shock. "What?! Why not?!"
Trunks sighed heavily. "My mother, uh, from the future that is, said that the time machine could be used only a couple more times because it's starting to act up for some reason. So she's thinking that I'll be able to use it this one last time." He looked at me hopefully. "So... do you want to come with me or stay with your friends? Either one is fine with me, I won't hold your decision against you."
I looked down, I didn't know what to say. I could either stay with my friends in my own time and wait for something to happen, or I could go with Trunks to a whole new time and go on an awesome adventure with him and see more things that I never even dreamed of, but I would never come back... Ugh... I hate making decisions...
I looked at Trunks, looking directly into his bright blue eyes. "I don't know... I want to see what it's like but... Staying there? I just don't know..."
"It's okay to think about it, I'll be staying here for a few days so the time machine's power can replenish."
I exhaled slowly and nodded, it felt like my whole body was shaking. "Okay, I'll see you guys in the morning..." I started to float up into the air.
Bulma looked at me. "Where are you going?" She asked, a hint of concern in her voice.
I smiled slightly and waved at her, trying to reassure her, and myself. "I just need to think for a while." I replied.
"Okay, take all the time you need." Trunks said.
I turned around and took off in the night sky, enjoying the cool breeze against my face. I placed a hand on the side of my head, it felt like it was about to explode from the shock from earlier. I mean, going into the future with a teenaged-boy that I hardly knew? It just seemed so...so...crazy... What should I do? I let my hand drop limply to my side and shook my head slowly. When I asked for an adventure, I didn't mean one like this! I sighed slowly, it didn't matter right now, my main problem was telling Luke and Josh. I blinked. "But how?" I whispered to myself. I bit my lip. "I guess I'll just have to figure that part out when I do talk to them..." I zoomed into a large city and landed on a large, dark brown slanted roof next to a window.
This was Josh's grandparent's house, Josh lived here now. I crept closer to the window, being careful not to make any noise, and checked the ledge in front of the glass. Josh always left a notepad and pen outside his window, but they were both chained to the wall so they wouldn't fall, in case I came by to tell him something, and Luke started to do the same thing. I wrote something down on the paper, sticking it on the window, before taking off to another part of the city. I landed on a metal fire escape outside an apartment window around 10 stories up. I wrote something on the paper and stuck it onto the window like I had done with Josh's before leaving again. I landed next to a large fountain in the middle of town, equal distance from Josh's and Luke's homes, and sat on the edge of the fountain. Josh and Luke seemed to have a sixth sense and know when I visit, whether at night or day, so I was going to wait for them there. After about 30 minutes of waiting, I sighed and turned to the side before laying down on my back. I stared at the night sky as a cold breeze blew, the stars shined brightly in the black sky, I always dreamed of going into space to see what it would be like, but now that I had the opportunity, I doubted I would do it, not with these requirements. I sighed heavily again as I stared at the bright moon.
Tomorrow was the full moon so I would have to stay inside and close the blinds on my window, but I just wanted to enjoy it's light tonight. The silvery rays it produced made my pitch black pupils sparkle a beautiful pale bluish silvery color. I let out a content sigh and closed my eyes, relaxing a little bit but keeping my guard up, the moonlight always seemed to soothe me, no matter how much stress I felt, which is why I always dreaded blocking it out when it was at its fullest, sure it was one night, but I'd rather see it at its fullest just once. Even though I wanted to see it really badly, however, I wasn't about to give up my tail, it was part of my race, and I wanted to keep it.
I opened my eyes again to look at the large moon and dipped a hand in the fountain's pool of water, moving my hand back and forth in the cool water slowly, listening to the sound of running water.
"Well, well... What do we have here?" A familiar, high pitched female voice reached my ears.
I shot up to a sitting position and turned to look in the direction of the voice. A young girl with shoulder length, brown-tinted red hair and bright green eyes stood half a dozen feet away from where I sat on the fountain. No way... I thought to myself. I swung my feet over the edge of the fountain and stood up, looking at her. "Cocoa?" I asked.
A/N: So this is a pretty tough decision for Kiela, either go into the unknown to see so many new things and help bring everyone else back to life but leave her friends behind, or stay with them, even though one won't even talk to her for a few seconds, and wait for something interesting to come up, and if you watched the whole Dragon Ball Z series, you know how long it will be until then... But you also have to think about what would be best for everyone. Feel free to tell me what you think about this in a review, they are appreciated and I'd like to know what you guys think of this story, Until the next chapter guys!
