Okay now, I'm just going to get this chapter done and I have a feeling this might be my longest chapter; if not then possibly the next one.

Akira Toriyama and Satoshi Tajiri own DBZ and Pokemon. If you don't know; they are men, I'm just a girl who's a fan of their work.

Let chapter 31 begun!

You got to go back to where it begun which is chapter 1 to get an important message.

Prior to 1 month later afterward there will be a countdown

Trunks made every second count for Misty as he spent every single second with her, only on rare occasion, he would always ask if she's alright, and in response, she would always reply 'yes' or a 'leave me alone Trunks before I get Mai on you.' Misty was getting more and more pain shoot through her body as time flew by but she refuses to hold back on her fight.

In the meantime, she still studies with Goten and Chichi, trains with her adoptive father for self-defense purposes, babysits Pan and Bulla alongside Piccolo, goes to the marine park every once in a while, takes care of her Psyduck and Marill, hang out with Marron and Mai, and train Goten and Trunks in gravitational room wearing a special suit that allows her to be immune to the extra heavy gravity, like she always did before she and everyone discovered her illness. The only difference was that everyone around her was keeping a more watchful eye on her, to make sure they are prepared for the worse.

It was Trunks who was with her step by step, he couldn't help but admire how strong willed the girl was being. It's true Misty's little illness could be a fluke, but at the same time, it can be deadly, which was much more possible by the looks of it. Misty and her friends went to do whatever she wanted even though she highly insists on doing whatever they want.

Goten, Trunks, Mai, Marron, and Misty went to places such as aquariums, underwater civilizations to see the people living there and practice their culture, and they would mostly go to the beach all because Misty loved the ocean and all the activities possible. They played volleyball, badminton, went parasailing, surfing, sand castle building, and even fishing for Misty's old time sake back in her world.

They also went to do other things that weren't really associated with the beach such as camping, pretended they were pirates or ninjas, played laser tag, went bike riding, and even played the old fashion games such as hide and seek but at night, zombie tag where whoever's it is a zombie that's supposed to 'eat' everyone within 15 minutes, truth or dare. About each game took them throughout the whole day because they usually play each one multiple times. When they get tired of playing games they would talk about something serious or debate on their opinions on things, which would lead to a friendly argument, but more bickering when it came down to Misty and Trunks. The group have already been doing things over the year and a half before Misty got her out of nowhere illness; were fishing and making a game on whoever caught the most types or the most in general, water gun/water balloon fights, laser tag, playing charades, going to the museum, to the library (much to the boys repeated time wasting dismay) and going to the movies.

During the training sessions with Misty and the boys, they all acted there was nothing wrong with her body, which in all fairness the first week it didn't really show. Mai and Marron were observing them from afar. As always Misty chooses one of the boys (in this case she chose Trunks) to take command upon to fight the other boy (Goten in this case, but would take turns) to test out their teamwork and to have Misty build up upon her lack of Pokemon training; no they weren't Pokemon but they insisted on being called her Pokemon because they are her best friends, she's training them for battle, she does her best to bring out the best in both of them, and they in return keep on doing their best in return, much like most Pokemon trainers do with their Pokemon.

It was actually a funny story that happened before they met Cal.

Flashback

On a sunny day in Mount Paozu, the girls were doing their thing. Marron was cleaning Psyduck's bill, and Misty was holding (at the time) her Azurill and feeding her berries that Mai gave her, who was also with them. It was the day Atlantic area was closed, Gohan and his family were spending time together with the group, so there was no need for Misty to babysit, and Misty was already spending time with her friends and her studies. She always had a busy life and because whenever Misty has a gap in her life she has to fill it. Her parents and many other of the adults have told her she shouldn't have so many responsibilities at such a young age, yet as much as she does respect each and everyone of them, she refuses to listen.

Granted like every human being she does complain, but at the same time if she's bored then like every human being they'll do whatever it takes it fill the void. Misty came up with the perfect thing like the fact that she needs to learn how to keep up with her training as a Pokemon trainer even though she might not consider herself a gym leader anymore and she loves being an Orca trainer and learning all sorts of neat things about Orcas along with other sea creatures...but she can't deny that she misses being a gym leader and her Pokemon, yes she has Psyduck and (at the time) Azurill and she does take care of them but she doesn't really train them like she should. What Misty did is ask Goten and Trunks if she would let them be trained by her, they needed someone to help them with their battle skill (at least according to her) and to have them become more prepared in battle. Misty did know the basic stuff on Martial arts as taught by her father, Tien. In other words, she might have a better idea on what to do rather than Mai or Marron.

When she asked them this was their response:

"So you want us to be like those creatures from your world...I don't know how I feel about that," said hesitant Trunks.

Goten, on the other hand, seem enthusiastic, "Are you kidding Trunks? Either way, I think it'll be so cool!" he exclaimed.

"I never considered you to be my Pokemon...although you guys are my best friends and I do plan on training you to bring out your very best and besides I just thought you might need help is all," Misty explained.

"Hey, now I thought we're your best friends!" Marron came up to the group alongside Psyduck and Mai feeling a bit offended. Mai nodded too, completely siding with Marron.

'Wow I don't think I ever had two guys fight over me let alone two GIRLS,' Misty thought, feeling somewhat honored regardless.

"You guys are, and I love you, but let's face it you're not really much of fighters," Misty reasoned with her friends.

"Yeah but we can still be part of contests and stuff," Mai said.

"Not in this world unless we do a group dance or something like that, and besides I'm not really someone who's into competitions," Misty said turning to face the boys.

"So I guess it's a no," she getting back to the topic at hand.

"Actually you do have us on board and the both of us, including me," Trunks said agreeing with Goten. "Although I don't see the point of becoming better if you're the only Pokemon trainer in the world thus making you the best," he added mumbling to the side where Misty still heard but wasn't suppose to.

"Really? What made you change your mind?" Misty asked, ignoring the last part.

"The fact that I guess it would be cool to be trained by you, I mean if being called a Pokemon means not being trained by Piccolo then I'm game," Trunks shrugged.

"But you don't know HOW I train Pokemon, let alone People! Come on I don't even know how I'll be training people!" Misty exclaimed.

"Guess we're going to find out, besides it can't be THAT different," Trunks rolled his eyes at Goten.

"If we disobey then it'll be like a Pokemon after evolution," Trunks added. "Also think about it people, do change like a Pokemon and grow from you and sometimes you have to make sacrifices for your friends and that includes releasing them from your life and they can return. Sometimes you can even trade around friends in case you and another person find yourself no longer benefitting from each other and your friend that you 'traded' with may trade with and you might want them back," Trunks explained going over detail, making everyone sweat dropped and thinking if he was being sarcastic.

"Ooh what type will we be?" Goten asked excitedly.

"I guess flying and fighting since that's what you do and most of your moves specify in it," Misty said.

"But Misty," Goten whined. "We're much more than that," Misty was about to speak but it seems Goten wasn't finished." I mean we're pretty electrifying and we are on fire in battle so we must be electric and fire types too!"

"Guys it doesn't work-" Misty was cut-off by the two boy's rambling.

"We can stand our ground, we're trained to be hard as rock, and we're pretty metal so we must be ground, rock, and steel types," Trunks couldn't help but babble on too.

"But Misty's a water type trainer but I guess we need to start swimming more and besides I think water attacks would be cool," Goten suggested.

"No Goten, I think we should be ice types instead, since they are cool and can defeat dragons like we can, plus it's better than being a fairy type Pokemon, don't care if they can defeat dragons too, want to be just as cool as I am now," Trunks complained about fairy types and sides with ice types.

"Sometimes you can also practically read my mind so you must be Psychic," Goten said referring to Trunks. "And we been dead before so I guess we're ghost types too," Trunks added, for both of them it was pretty hard to tell if they were joking or not.

"We grow and we're sometimes a pest to Misty so we must be grass and bug type Pokemon!" Goten said.

"You're not bug Pokemon!" Misty disagreed but they ignored her.

"What about Dragon-types, are we Trunks?" Goten asked.

"I feel like that's more suited for Shenron and Icarus, but we can be immune to certain type of poisons and we can be mischievous so we got to be Poison and Dark types," Trunks scratched under his chin then they started to list all the possible typings if they were a Pokemon.

Misty knitted her eyebrows together in annoyance, indeed they were pests to her but being a bug type Pokemon doesn't work that way, in fact, none of the reasons on why they should be those certain typings doesn't make them those typings even if they were Pokemon. Yes, some of those things were true about the types they listed but that's not what makes those types those types! If Trunks was really a Psychic type then his so-called 'mind reading' power wouldn't work on Goten for he's a 'ghost' and a 'dark' type. Where psychic attacks have no effect against ghost or dark types. The same with other types being immune to other types.

"They're defiantly not normal types that's for sure," commented Mai.

"I thought you can only be two types of Pokemon," Marron recalled.

"You're right Marron, it's just these two are just going overboard about it," Misty sighed.

"I know they agreed to it but are you absolutely sure about it?" Mai asked with concern.

"I'm positive," Misty said confidently.

"Now all you need to do is catch us," Goten said turning to Misty holding up two small rocks that were a little smaller than poke balls.

"Catch you?" Misty tilted her head to the side not understanding a clue on what he meant.

"Mm-hmm." Goten hummed cheerfully handing her the two rocks. Misty looked strangely at the rocks in her hands and then back at Goten, who was smiling beside Trunks as he gave his 'I'm waiting' look.

"Is this really happening to me?" Misty asked herself. Mai and Marron stood there exchanging looks as if having the same thoughts as Misty.

"Just throw the dang rocks already!" Trunks told her.

"Our bodies are powered up so don't worry about hurting us," Goten said.

Misty sighed, not really sure why Trunks wanted this, but at least she knew what they wanted. Maybe she should change her mind like how Mai suggested; however before she was able to do anything, the boys went up to her and put one hand on a rock they choose and basically pulled a Psyduck, and like Psyduck she's stuck with them for good.

Goten made beaming noises as if imitating the poke balls sound effects when capturing a Pokemon as well as successfully catching it. Trunks did the same only a much more hesitated sound effect, proving he was trying his best with the sound but couldn't really pinpoint it.

"There you caught us, we'll stay and fight by your command as well as us being there for you," Trunks confirmed. All Misty could do was smile and no matter what happens she knew she made the right choice. Without a doubt, she's the best trainer on the planet...mostly because she's really the only true Pokemon trainer on the planet.

After that, it did seem to work out and whenever Misty was having trouble coming up with strategies or with the boys not listening to her, she either went to Piccolo (who directly taught her how to train fighters by giving his methods) or the boy's mothers. Whenever when Misty was training with the boys or her father she would wear a green dress that goes up to her knees with an orange cloak and a silver belt followed by a matching necklace that temporarily takes place the friendship necklace she made with Mai and Marron and wears silver bands, black hiking boots, and with green socks tied below her ankle (A/N Bianca's outfit from Dragon Quest V, by the way, Akira Toriyama created the designs for those games). Her hair tied into short pigtails with green bands. As for Misty's friendship necklace, she wears it at all times except training with her dad.

Flashback ended.

Memories like that are a lifetime but simple things such as the small arguments they had or the stupid things they laughed at won't be remembered until when felt necessary. Boy that was something, everyone was hit hard with of learning that lesson.

11 more months until the Dragonballs turn normal

The boys, Marron, and Mai always spared their time with her. In the meantime the adults such as Gohan and Videl arranged some things to make her spend more time with Pan, even Piccolo was trying to help out considering her condition. Her father Tien had her stop taking his defense class, consumed in his own fear that it might have been his fault that she's in such a risky state. Launch kept hoping that her little girl would survive because she knows Misty is strong. Chichi actually wanted Misty to put down the books but Chichi immediately thought twice since education is important. As for Atlantic area Misty visited it once every few weeks. All they wanted was to see her smile everyday. In return, Misty wanted to see them smile for real because she wasn't stupid, she could see their struggle of smiling, holding back all the sorrow, even a blind person could see it.

8 more months

Things were actually going well as Misty got to visit Splash thanks to Trunks. She sees how well everyone was taking good care of her showing they really didn't want her gone. As much as Misty couldn't help but like the idea of being pampered like a queen, but she couldn't let herself get lost in the smothering so she didn't accept most things that were given to her. She kept training with the boys, did her usual thing with the girls, they even got into arguments and acted as if she didn't have a virus or disease even though pain kept shooting like bullets out of a brownie. Vegeta even simply told her 'don't die' every time he saw her. As for her Marill, she belongs to Pan, actually rather or not if she was dying or not (which has been officially decided by an upset Bulma that she indeed was), it's official that Pan owned Marill, despite her young age. As for Psyduck he was trained to be smarter than he was but from time to time he did appear out of nowhere from his Pokeball causing his reckless nature to show, but Misty didn't seem to mind. Also on occasion, she would go into the visual fanfic maker (Chapter real vs fictional) with Trunks and the others to see her friends again.

But this time she has gotten to so called meet Lana, Mallow, Little, Sophocles, and Kiawe from the Alola region where there are many regional variants as to a oppose what Professor Ivy was studying in the Orange Islands. Misty did want to meet any new friends that Ash had made but she didn't expect him (simulation or not) to give reveal he went to school, sure it was kind of what she wanted since Ash was a little dense most of the time but she wanted to know how he was doing and what was going on even more.

Misty seemed to admire Lana's fishing abilities as they were on a simulation lake and it doesn't matter if Lana was really fake in this case. Lana does seem to care about Popplio and has told the story of how they met. Popplio was such a cutie in Misty's eyes as she still loved water type Pokemon. Lana also apparently has younger twin sisters.

Lillie seemed to be a shy girl who had a knowledge of Pokemon but obtained a fear of them. She does have her own Pokemon, which was an Alolan Vulpix named Shiron (A/n I know the English name is 'Snowy' but Shiron sounds better) and gosh Misty loved the fluffy looks of Alolan Vulpix, but sees it as a malfunction in Trunks' special invention because there was no way Vulpix would be an ice type regional variant or not.

Mallow is a cute grass type trainer with green hair and eyes and from what Misty could gather about her and the other two girls seem to be really close as Mallow does seem to be protective over Lillie. Mallow also seems very responsible as she does work in her family's restaurant and she's a great cook just like Cilan, Brock, Serena, and Clemont. Although Misty only tried Brock's food, she can still say that they are better cooks than she is.

Kiawe also seems to be responsible, although he tends to be more serious about things and more skilled in battle than Mallow and not because he has the type advantage either. He's very protective of his little sister and he makes sure he gets where he needs to be with his Charizard, which is a ride Pokemon, with the exception of Lapras Misty hasn't really used any official ride Pokemon, so it would've been helpful on her journey.

Sophocles is an electric type trainer who's a genius inventor like Clemont, but unlike Clemont he's a lot less clumsy with his work. He and his Togemaru always seem to get into some type of mischief.

From what other things for Misty to gather were that they were all trial captains (except Lillie) and that they give Z-crystals instead of badges and form different types of moves that associates with that typing depending on the crystal. Misty believes that's just another mishappening with the device she was using because there will be no way that this z-crystal thing is real!

4 more months

Misty started violently coughing and throwing up blood, her skin started to turn pale. The virus or whatever it was driving her crazy! It keeps ongoing on and off and whenever new symptoms arrive it gets worse and worse. First, it was just pain shooting through her body at random, mild headaches, illusions of horrifying things, panic attacks, the feeling of being traumatized for fighting in a war, despite never going to war. Most of all, it was worrying and stressing out her friends and family. She just wishes it for it to stop, for it all to stop. Chichi had it and decides for her to stop doing homework and going to school but still has permission to hang around with Goten. Misty begged Chichi for homework and none of her symptoms were showing. The orange haired even asked her dad if she could be trained by him like old times and asked her mom if she can teach her how to clean like she does, surprisingly they said no and that she needed to rest, but they would always come back to feed her and talk to her about their daily lives. Misty couldn't listen to her parents as she used to have two different daily lives and didn't want to hear

Chichi had it and decides for her to stop doing homework and going to school but still has permission to hang around with Goten. Misty begged Chichi for homework and none of her symptoms were showing. The orange haired even asked her dad if she could be trained by him like old times and asked her mom if she can teach her how to clean like she does, surprisingly they said no and that she needed to rest, but they would always come back to feed her and talk to her about their daily lives. Misty couldn't listen to her parents as she used to have two different daily lives and didn't want to hear it because she envies her parents and everyone else for having meaning to her life as it began to fade. Chichi and Bulma told their sons that they shouldn't be putting Misty in such situation, of course, she and the boys insisted she was doing fine but they had to end things right then and there with training.

In the meantime, Trunks was in her room so was the Pilaf gang, most of Goten's family members (Videl, Pan, Chichi, and Gohan with Goten included), her parents, Chiaotzu (who's been living with her), Marron and her family, Trunks' sister and mother were also there. Since it was a small room Videl, Bulma, Chichi, Gohan (holding Pan), Tien, 18, Krillin, and Launch decided to stay out by the door. Goku went to Beerus's planet with Vegeta as usual, but Goku didn't go without saying 'see ya later' and sharing a small conversation about how Goku had issues with the heart virus with Misty, whereas Vegeta still had a somewhat careless attitude toward the girl.

Misty was talking to Marron and Mai about her careless mistakes at Atlantic Area back when she was taking care of Splash and how she misses it. The boys in her room were overhearing but Misty didn't mind as it wasn't anything private nor was it too embarrassing. The orange haired girl told her about how useless she feels causing a very upset Trunks to outrage.

"How can you say that!" he shouted causing everyone to flinch. "What happened to fighting it out, huh?" he asked closing his eyes preventing tears to escape.

"Misty," he softened his voice that still dripped venom. "I know you've been feeling like you're useless in this world, but you can't hold back no matter what," everyone looked at the girl as if they're signaling that they agree with him.

"It's all for your own good, so that way you can focus on fighting better," Trunks reasoned. "Yeah...look at it like that..." Trunks seemed to be telling himself more than Misty at this point.

"Do you know how hard it is watching someone dear to you suffer?" Trunks asked her with tears running down his face. "Not only that, but you happen to be a warrior, which is someone who fights for others and to protect everyone they care about?" he covered his eyes. "But you can't really do anything thing in this case because it's their battle," he choked.

Trunks took his hand off of his eyes, "If anyone should feel useless, it should be me because I have to stand and watch you suffer, yet you want me to smile and I can't even give you that," he then went out of the room.

"Trunks," Misty tried getting up but there was something wrong. Her legs weren't moving she tried waking them but no avail. She did manage to get out of bed only to find herself falling on the floor, everyone tried to rush into help her but she prevented them from doing do.

"Stop! You all done so much for me and I need to at least walk for you because I would really be useless," she sobbed, knowing full well she needs them to help her.

"Trunks is no exception because even though he wanted me to return home he stayed on my side like no one else did. He was the reason why I met Splash, why I feel so at ease when I'm around him, and I can say anything to him and to the rest of you without being truly judge, yet there are still some things I can't say or do for you or him," Misty struggled once again trying to pick herself up, but was helped out by her father saying enough is enough.

"He made me more open-hearted," Misty said. "Maybe I should've returned when I got the chance because I know you all pitched into helping me despite making some things on my own but I could've never done it without you, and if I returned then I would've suffered alone and you guys would be happy," she cried.

"It's sad that I can't even walk for you guys anymore, and if I can no longer walk then no more doing sports of any kind with anyone that highly requires feet or other activities I'm gonna miss doing with any of you," Misty softened her voice as she trailed on.

Everyone was speechless and continue to listen to Misty as Tien placed her gently on the bed. "I do smile for real, I swear it and it's all for you to be strong, but now I can't hold back my tears and worst part I'm making everyone upset," she sobbed. "I'm so sorry!"

"Misty, you've been our daughter and you'll always be, that's all we can ever ask for from you," Launch hugged her daughter soothing her. "It's defiantly my job to be there for you, no matter what, and best of all thanks to you we know what it's like to have an awesome daughter," the dark blue-haired woman hugged Misty closer as the young girl quieted her own cries.

"You've been our friend and you always found a place to be and helped out the best way you can," Goten said.

"You always play your role perfectly in something," Marron added.

"Even if you don't have a clue," Mai finished adding on with Marron's statement.

"Sometimes you don't want to like my self-defense classes and Chichi's homework," Tien also recalled.

"But yet you know what's for the best in the end," Videl remarked.

"You do go for mostly go for what you want and you aren't afraid," Piccolo came out of nowhere popping in so fast no one noticed his power level approaching. Everyone looked at him confusingly. Piccolo saw how everyone was staring and said, "What? She's the best partner for babysitting Pan anybody can ask for," he shrugged as he casually defended himself. The Namekian didn't even need to give Gohan a cue on holding Pan.

"I have to agree with Piccolo, and that when you go for what you want you don't care what happens in the end and you're not afraid to speak your mind either with amazing confidence that I wish I had when I was your age," Gohan commented.

"Besides don't you remember our talk about admitting defeat? This isn't one of those times and you know it," Piccolo told Misty. Even though Piccolo wasn't there until everyone started making statements on how they admire Misty, he still heard the conversation due to his superior hearing. It didn't occur until last minute of remembering.

Misty nodded, "Goten I want you to take me to Trunks and tell him I'm gonna be here to fight," Goten quickly got the girl from her bed and gave her a piggyback ride toward their friend.

Goten tracked down Trunks' energy signature on the roof. Trunks took a look at his friends who noticed he had tears falling from his eyes, which was rarely something he did, but because the time was the most appropriate he didn't care what would his friends think. One of them is dying so of course he's gonna cry, the world is peaceful so there's the time to cry without any shame or guilt to it.

"What do you guys want?" Trunks asked looking at his hands.

"Nothing," Misty said simply as she was placed down gently beside him and Goten sat beside her, making her in the middle. Trunks looked at her. "It's what you want, I just thought you needed a friend, I may not have had friend with any sort of health issues but I do know what it's like to say goodbye and I want you to know that even so you never have to say goodbye if you don't want to," Misty said.

"How can you be so strong?" Trunks asked out of the blue.

"I don't think I understand your question," she said.

"I mean Goten and his family are the most optimistic people I know and they're depressed about it as you can tell, yet you're the one who's...not in the best health and you smile for real and your smile is so beautiful it makes me miss it already," Trunks explained.

"I don't want you to stop fighting and I know you can do it, just hold on a little longer," he begged, gently grabbing the girl's shoulders.

Misty was shocked and she didn't know what to say. "Trunks I said no matter what I'm never going to leave your side and even if I'm gone I'll still be around," she looked at him in his eyes.

"I'm sorry I put you through this, you were right I probably should've gone home," Misty said softly.

"What are you talking about? Do you regret every moment we had and every moment you shared with everyone?" Trunks asked getting a bit angry.

"No," Misty replied quickly and calmly. "It's just in the end you've gotten hurt because of me and I'm sorry," the stubborn girl said once more.

"Well I'll be even more hurt without you here spending time with me and everyone else," Trunks said. "I just wanted you to be safe and I thought your home was the best way," he rambled on.

"And you were right," Misty mumbled.

"Maybe but I wouldn't haven't gotten to know you better and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be as responsible for even the work I don't want to do," Trunks complimented the girl, who blushed.

Misty giggled in response, "I can't take all the credit for pushing you around it was Chichi and Piccolo who taught me about discipline and it was your mother to tell me which direction I should take you in," she said.

"Misty maybe I'm jealous at the fact you're not afraid-" Trunks was about to continue but was interrupted by Misty.

"Stop right there Trunks. You honestly think I'm not afraid?" she asked confusingly.

"Well..." Trunks couldn't really find anything to say.

"The truth is I'm terrified and once I'm gone, it's game over and not even the dragon balls can bring me back since I'll die a natural cause of death," Misty started to panic.

"Whoa Misty breathe you got four months," Trunks said giving Goten a strange idea.

"Hey, why don't we kill her now in the meantime and then bring her back when the dragon balls are back?" he asked, scaring Misty.

"What kind of sick idea is that!?" she exclaimed.

Trunks pondered at this, "an idea that just might work but then again let's not risk it and let Misty live as much as possible before we do anything that careless," he told Goten in order to stop Misty to look so worried.

"Afterall, I don't feel comfortable being responsible for her death even if we can wish her back, it just wouldn't be right, besides I prefer saving this girl's life and that's what I'm gonna do," Trunks promised Goten, himself, but mostly the smiling girl in front of him.

"Aw thanks, Trunks I would kiss you right now if you weren't dating Mai," she said smirking.

"What's stopping you from doing so? I mean from the looks of things ever since you came along Mai and Trunks may have started dating but they hardly ever talk to each other, the only times I've seen them chat is when they're around you," Goten explained.

"In that case Trunks I want you to take Mai on a romantic picnic this instant and give her favorite flowers as a gift and then start talking for crying out loud, I mean she's your girlfriend and you hurt my friend I'll hurt you got it?" Misty ordered him.

Trunks, on the other hand, was stunned, "Right now? At this time, it's the night you know that? I can't exactly make 30 sandwiches in 3 seconds and flower stores are closed and not only that I don't know her favorite flowers are," Trunks mumbled the last part.

"Her favorite flowers are lilacs because of the scent and I guess you have to wait till morning," Misty sighed. knowing full well that Trunks' relationship with her other friend is hopeless, but all he needs is a little push just like for everything else then he's a natural.

The three friends stayed quiet and endured the fresh air, Misty getting tired and she fell asleep on Trunks' shoulder who in returned squeezed her firmly but gently with his left arm.

A moment passed as he let Misty sleep on his shoulder some more.

"I'm gonna take her inside," Trunks whispered, making Goten nod.

He picked her up princess style and set her down in her room, ignoring the looks of everyone and decided to return home. Before he went he asked if Mai could come but she said no that she wanted to spend as much time with Misty as possible. The same response came from Marron when her parents insisted on taking her home too.

Everyone was soon in the place where they wanted to be and started to sleep.

3 months and 3 weeks left.

Trunks did eventually take Mai on a date but instead of a picnic they went to see a movie and couldn't really talk to each other nor did they hold hands. Mai was disinterested in the movie while that was the only thing Trunks paid attention to since it was an action movie that was full of race cars and robot fighting.

When they went to go visit Misty, Mai was the only one who wanted to go inside to see her friend and spend one more night as she got word that Marron stayed there the entire time while 18 and Krillin only visited to check on their daughter and help out with Misty. Bulma and Chichi also did the same as they wanted to take part with Misty's care. Trunks did come in to see Misty only to say 'see ya soon,' because he couldn't bare it anymore, every time he saw her he cried like everyone else did whenever they saw her, but at least they had enough courage to stay more than a couple seconds like his girlfriend, who planned on spending the night with Misty until it was all over.

Misty still wasn't looking too good and her ability to walk never came back. She also had trouble eating, she wanted to eat but her body kept telling her 'no' as if it was a bad thing.

The only thing that seemed to work is to blend everything in order to get more than one thing in her stomach. It was a weird adjustment for the poor girl but she eventually came in as if she didn't have a choice, in all in all fairness it was possible that it was for the best. Misty couldn't care less as she knows her friends were right there beside her going step by step with her and not letting her go even if that's what she wants. Misty still kept on pushing, which was a surprise for everyone because, for a girl like her, she sure had a lot of unpredictable strength. What Misty was going through wasn't anything but still, the girl continued putting on a smile at the end of the day because of her friends and family.

It became night, Mai and Marron got into pyjamas and sat beside Misty in her bed with her in the middle and hugged her close so dearly as they cried and she cried too and they kept saying that they loved each other and talk about times for tomorrow, getting themselves to believe that Misty will be there by morning.

3 months and 2 weeks to go

Trunks eventually got the courage to go see Misty convincing himself to see his girlfriend and maybe say hi to his friend too. Also, Marron was there and Trunks knew her before he knew Mai and Misty and despite being good friends they haven't really talked much before Misty arrived, in fact not even afterward.

When they walked into the room, he saw the three friends talking and when they noticed his presence, they greeted him.

"Hi, Trunks is there anything I can do for you?" Misty asked weakly when she tried to get up she was gently pushed back to her pillow by Mai of who she glared at.

Something snapped inside Trunks, telling him whatever he needed or wanted from Mai or Marron will have to wait. "Yeah I think it'll be nice to get you out to the sea just one more time and see Splash," he instantly came up with that idea, although it's been running through his mind for the past week.

"Sure, but you know I can't really do much of anything," she said weakly. Psyduck was out of his ball looking a little gloomy, Marill was with Pan for the time being but she and Pan sometimes come over to be held by Misty.

"Okay Trunks I need you to get out in order to help Misty in her wet suit," Mai said pushing her boyfriend out of the room and with Marron they started to change Misty carefully as possible as soon as they were done they gave her to Trunks who in the meantime explained to Launch and Tien that he'll be taking their daughter out to sea in order to track down her Orcas friend.

Okay, I want you to admit it, this did make you cry a little didn't it? I'm sorry if the way I'm describing Misty's illness is a little too much, but honestly, I don't know how this rating thing works. Does it work by language because I know my language is appropriate but as for everything that went on, especially in this chapter, would it really make it T? Do tell me if you know, that would really help!

It stays K until I get an email or something that tells me to change it for some odd reason.
