Wishes (Part 1)

Chapter 4

[Trunks’s POV]

     I didn’t eat as much as I normally did.  My stomach churned at every thought… that was mostly about Gohan-san.  I loved her so much… then why did she wish me back to my own time?  Did she not love me anymore? 

     I felt a piece of meat get stuck in my throat and started coughing.  Gohan banged me in the back and the piece went down my throat.

      That can’t be true…

      I stood up.  “May I be excused?”  I kept my head down to hide the tears that started to form in my eyes.

      “Sure Trunks-kun.” Chi-chi said and I left.

      I flew over the forest, trying to sort my thoughts out.  Why would Gohan-san stop loving me?  I loved her back, didn’t I?  I don’t know how I couldn’t love her… I loved every second I spent with her…

      I flew down and landed on a cliff.  Sitting on the edge, I stared out at the sea of trees before me.

      “Gohan-san… how could you??” I said aloud to no one.  “We promised we’d never be apart… so why did you wish for me to go back to my own time??”

      I did not feel the ki approaching me from behind.  A felt someone place their hand on my shoulder.  I tensed up.

      “Trunks-kun…”

      I whirled around.  It was Gohan.  “Why’d you follow me??” I practically yelled at him.

      “Hey, sorree… but I was just worried about you.”

      I crossed my arms over my chest.  “Why’d you be worried?  You’re the one who went off to kill himself by fighting the androids.”

      “Trunks, I’m not dead now.  And since everything’s been wished back when there weren’t any more Dragonballs here on Earth, I’d like to know what’s going on.  Besides, you looked pretty depressed while eating breakfast..” Gohan said.

      I sat there, not wanting to tell him.  Gohan sat down next to me on the edge of the cliff.

      “Come on… tell me.” Gohan said.

      I sighed.  “Fine…”  I lay back and stared up at the endless blue sky.  “Kaasan created a time machine and I went back into the past.  Instead of going into the past, a mistake was made in the time machine and I was sent into another dimension.  There… I met a girl…”  I paused, thinking about what I had to say next.

      “What girl?” Gohan questioned.

      I looked hard into Gohan’s dark eyes.  “You.  You were a girl in that dimension.”  I could clearly see that he was stunned by the fact.

      “And… you fell in love with her?” my sensei managed to choke out.

      I started to blush.  “Yeah.. I did.  And then… an enemy attacked.”

      “What??”

      “Yeah, his name was Veggeto.  He ended up blowing up the Earth, but Gohan-san and I were able to get away using one of the spaceships in the capsules I had with me.  We went to Namek.  On our way there, we were attacked by a changling named Kaiser.  When we reached Namek, we were attacked again, but by a weaker enemy.  We collected the Dragonballs and made our first two wishes.  The first one, we wished back the Earth and all of the people living on it.  The second wish… was for Gohan-san’s tousan, Goku, to come back to life.  The third… we didn’t use.  Well, Gohan-san probably used it…”

      “What did she wish for?” Gohan asked.

      “I don’t know…” my voice started breaking.  “I… died during the battle against Veggeto who followed us to Namek… so I wasn’t there to hear the last wish.  But I think she wished that I were back in my own time and that everyone here was brought back to life.  I don’t know why she wished for that… we promised each other that we’d be together… forever…”

      “Did she love you?”

      I started to get angry at my sensei.  “Of course she loved me!!  We loved each other so much… I don’t see any possible way she couldn’t have loved me…”

      “Trunks…”  I looked at my sensei.  “If she pushed you away… maybe you should deal with it.  She didn’t want to be with you anymore… so… accept it.”

      “But what’s the reason??”

      “Don’t ask me… I’m not her.”

      A thought came to my mind.  Why don’t I ask her?  I still have the time machine…

      “Don’t even think about going back…” Gohan said.  “She probably wouldn’t want you coming back after pushing you away…”

      Gohan stood up.  I got up and flew back home to Capsule Corp.

      I have to know… but, really… Gohan’s right.  If I go back, she might push me away even more…
