I wiped my sweaty forehead as Trunks and I trudged through the shifting sands of a desert planet. "Why are we walking in this heat again?" I panted, the heat here was killing me!

Trunks looked back at me, his face and clothes drenched in sweat. "The ship's almost completely out of fuel so we have to look for a village or something that might have some kind of fuel for it." He answered, he also sounded exhausted.

I looked up at the sky a hand over my eyes to shield them from the several suns that rotated in the yellow sky. "I don't mean to complain but, couldn't we have landed on a different planet?"

Trunks sat down and sighed heavily. "We could have but there's no telling how far away the next planet is. And with a leak in the gas tank, who knows how long the fuel will last."

I sat next to him and fanned myself with my hand, trying to cool myself down, but with no success. "I just wish it wasn't so hot..."

Trunks nodded. "Yeah, it's ridiculous how hot it is here."

I slipped off my light blue outer shirt that was drenched in sweat. "A black undershirt is definitely not a good thing to wear in weather like this." I said as I tucked my over-shirt under my belt.

"How will it help to take your outer-shirt off if it'll be as hot with your black undershirt still on?"

I shrugged, feeling a little cooler. "It'll be cooler because I'm not wearing as many layers of clothing."

Trunks nodded. "Good point." He looked around the area, there were no signs of life anywhere. "I wonder if there even are any villages around here."

I looked around. "I doubt anything lives here in this heat." I shook my head. "But I've been wrong before, if there are any people here, they better be close or else we'd be searching this place for quite a while in this heat, and that'd be unpleasant."

"You got that right." Trunks agreed with me.

I stood up and dusted the sand off before holding a hand out to Trunks to help him up. "Well come on, we're not gonna find anything just sitting around."

He looked up at me and smiled before taking my hand, I pulled him up to his feet. "Alright."

I started to float in the air. "We'll probably find something faster if we fly." I looked down at him as I floated in place. "Don't you think?"

He shrugged and started to float up next to me. "Let's go." I nodded and we both took off in the sky. We examined our surroundings, looking for any signs of life, but with no luck.

"Hey, what's that?" Trunks said after about 10 minutes of searching. I looked at him as he pointed at something in the distance. I followed his line of sight and saw a large stone rock with a sharp tip jutting out of the sand. It was kind of hard to miss in this wasteland.

"I don't know but let's check it out, there might be a village over there." I said, having to yell over the wind.

Trunks nodded. "Yeah, come on."

He sped up, taking the lead, and I followed close behind, staring at the sandy ground beneath us. Something shifted underneath the sand's surface but I thought it was just the sand shifting and ignored it, until it jumped out of the sand between Trunks and me, cutting us off from each other.

"What the-?" I said, coming to a stop in front of the large creature. I looked at it in shock. It looked like a scorpion mixed in with a snake, but a thousand times bigger and shining bright red.

The large creature swung a large snapping claw at me but I quickly flew up and dodged it. The creature swung its other claw at me, this time I grabbed it and flung the creature in the distance behind me. Of course, I forgot about its long tail... The tail wrapped around me and pulled me with the creature squeezing the breath out of me and crushing me. The creature landed on its legs and looked up at me, snapping its claws loudly.

"Trunks... A little...help here..?" I wheezed, unable to breathe, I hoped that Trunks would hear me because I didn't know if the creature was gonna eat me or dig underground with me still in its grasp.

"Hang on Kiela!" Trunks yelled as he flew towards me. He zoomed towards the creature and flipped forward so he could kick the tail hard. The creature let out a loud screech before the tail slowly unwrapped around me. I immediately shot away from its reach and caught my breath. "You okay?" Trunks asked me, flying next to me.

I looked at him, panting a little bit. "Yeah, I'm fine." I looked at the creature that snapped its claws in rage. "That thing's got quite a strong grip, I'd be careful if I were you."

Trunks nodded. "I figured."

I powered up a bit. "We better end this quick, it's too hot to start a fight."

"So what do you want to do?"

I grinned. "This."

I shot towards the creature and landed right on its head before jumping into the air again, pushing the creature deep into the sand with my legs. The creature let out a siren-like screech, making me cover my ears, but the sound was eventually drowned out by the sand. Once the last of the creature disappeared, I flew up to Trunks again.

"Come on, that thing's not gonna stay down there for long." I said again.

Trunks nodded. "'Kay, let's go."

I nodded back to him and we both took off towards the large rock again. We landed in the shade of the rock a few minutes later, glad to finally get in some cool air... well cooler air. We examined the area while resting but saw no signs of any villages nearby, there was, however, a large hole in the ground that had a large, crystal clear lake and a stone edge off to the side. A large waterfall fed the lake from a river on the other side of the crater. The lake was huge and looked pretty deep, but it looked like it got shallower the closer it got to the stone edge, plus it was filled with fish in an assortment of colors. Trunks put his hands on his hips and looked around in disappointment. "There's no sign of a village anywhere, maybe this planet doesn't have one after all."

I rolled my eyes and smiled slightly, taking off my shoes and socks. "Who cares right now? We'll figure something out later." I said as I jumped off the cliff and onto the cool stone floor below.

Trunks looked down at me. "Why?"

I lifted an eyebrow at him as I looked up at him from below. "Why not? All I know right now is I'm gonna swim!" I ran towards the edge of the lake and jumped into the deep end, tucking my legs close to my chest and wrapping my arms around them, forming a cannonball. I hit the cool water with a splash and sunk a little bit before swimming to the surface. I looked up at Trunks who just stood there and I waved at him. "Come on, the water feels great!"

Trunks stared at me for a moment before he snickered softly and shook his head. "You're ridiculous..." He said.

I smiled. "So? I'd rather be swimming in a cool lake than standing in the desert heat all day."

He scratched his head and smiled. "You got me there." He jumped to the stone ground and slipped off his shoes and socks, followed by his shirt, putting his stuff next to mine he looked at me. "I'm coming in!" He said before diving into the water in the deep end, splashing me a little bit. I laughed softly and splashed him back when he swam to the surface. "Hey quit it!" He protested, raising his hands up in front of his face.

I stopped and lifted an eyebrow. "Aw come on, you're not fun." I said, crossing my arms over my chest.

He grinned and raised an eyebrow at me. "Oh really?" He took a deep breath and ducked underwater, disappearing from sight, even in the clear water. But I didn't have to look long, I felt his hand on my head from behind and he pushed me under the surface. "Gotcha!" He laughed.

I smiled. That's a little better. I thought before shooting out of the water and landing right on Trunks' head, dunking him underwater. "Payback." I laughed before jumping off and letting him come up for air, landing in the water again.

"Nice trick." He said when his head popped back up.

I gave him a half smile before swimming around some more, enjoying the cool water. We both relaxed in the water and splashed each other for a while before finally getting out and drying ourselves out in the sun, which didn't take long, then moving into the cool shade by the shallow water.

"So what are we gonna do now? There's no village where we can refuel." Trunks said, laying on his back, since he didn't put his shirt back on, his back was bare.

I shrugged, splashing my feet in the shallow water. "I don't know... maybe we could fill it up with water and use it for fuel to reach to the next planet." I suggested, but once the words came out of my mouth I shook my head. "No wait, that doesn't really seem possible."

Trunks looked at me, a glimmer in his eyes. "Actually, you might be on to something."

I looked at him with a puzzled look. "What?"

He sat up and took out a small container and opened it. "We still have some fuel in the spaceship so maybe if we put some water in the same tank as the fuel, the fuel and water will mix to make more fuel."

I stood up and walked up to him, crouching down. "Are you sure it'll work? It sounds a little impossible to me."

He smiled awkwardly. "Actually...no."

I stared at him blankly and sighed, looking at the waterfall. "You're so smart..." I said sarcastically.

He looked at me with a lifted eyebrow. "What? I think it might work."

I smiled. "Sure, just as long as it doesn't kill us."

Trunks rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He stood up and walked to the edge of the lake and took out an oval capsule from the container in his hand. "I'm just gonna go ahead and fill it up." He pressed the button on the top of the capsule and threw it close to the water's edge. The capsule exploded in a cloud of blue smoke, once the smoke cleared, the large spaceship stood in its place.

I stood up and walked to a shallow part of the lake, waving at Trunks. "Sure, you do that." He rolled his eyes again and connected a tube to a hole in the spaceship before placing it in the water.

I sat in the somewhat shallow water, the water reaching my shoulders, and leaned back against the ledge, staring at the large rock Trunks and I had landed next to. Two figures stood in front of the rock, watching us. Something clicked and something about them familiar, I leaned forward, trying to get a better view of them, but with no success. Their silhouettes indicated that they were both males and one was taller than the other much taller than the other one, they looked familiar but I couldn't place them. They stood there for a while before disappeared.

I leaned forward a bit more and tried to find them again. "What in the world?" I whispered.

Trunks walked up to me and squatted on the edge next to me. "Did you say something?" He asked.

I looked at him then back at the ledge. "I thought I saw someone up there." I replied, pointing at the ledge.

Trunks looked up. "What? That can't be, we're the only ones on this planet."

I stood up and started to fly up to the ledge, water dripping off my clothes and body. "Okay then, let's go see if I'm right or not."

Trunks smiled and flew up next to me. "Okay, but let's make a bet."

I tilted my head to the side. "Why?" I asked suspiciously.

"Just for fun."

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my stomach, glancing back at the ledge anxiously. "Okay, if I win, then you'll have to clean the whole ship for the rest of the trip."

His eyes widened in shock. "What?! No way!"

I smiled and shrugged. "Aw come on, it won't be that bad...well, maybe a little." I joked.

He smiled and squinted his eyes at me. "Okay fine, but if I win, you have to share the bed."

I jerked back in shock. "What!?"

He held his hands up innocently. "Hey, I've been sleeping on the couch the whole time and it's pretty uncomfortable!"

I paused for a moment, staring at him in shock, before I groaned. "Fine..." I really hoped I won.

And yes, Trunks and I made a bet a few weeks back when we were playing a video game, and I was starting to get the hang of the game. Anyways, the bet was, if I won, I would get the bed and Trunks would get the couch for the rest of the trip, if Trunks won, it would've been the other way around. I got lucky actually... I still don't know why Bulma put one bed in the spaceship, she better not have thought we were going to share it. But then again, she did always, and I mean always, tease the two of us about being a couple. And trust me, we were not like that in any way!

I looked up at the ledge again. "Let's just go check it out." I said.

"Lead the way." Trunks replied with a slight smile. I ignored him and shot into the sky towards the ledge with Trunks close behind. When we reached the top, we looked everywhere but there was nothing around, we couldn't even find any footprints, much less a person. "Looks like I win." Trunks said victoriously.

I gritted my teeth in frustration and spun around to face him. "Fine, but stay on your side of the bed!" I growled, I quickly flew back into the chasm with the lake without another word, starting to blush from embarrassment.

A/N: Haha, poor Kiela! I kind of took the desert planet in GT and decided to use it in this chapter, but like I said, I am not trying to make this like GT. Also, two people were watching them, who could they be? You'll find out in the next chapter, you might be a little shocked. And feel free to leave a review and tell me what you think of this story/chapter. Until the next chapter guys!
