Chapter 2
Later in the
evening:
“Trunks! Trunks! TRRRUUUNNNKKKSSS!” Bulma
yelled while looking for Trunks around
Capsule Corporation.
“Where could he be?” she asked herself, starting to get worried.
Bulma
went outside and saw Vegeta sparring with himself in the
backyard. “Have you seen Trunks?”
she asked, sounding really
worried.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Vegeta answered, with a bit of
concern in his voice.
“I can’t find Trunks anywhere,” Bulma
said.
“Did you try Kakarott’s house? He’s always there
playing with Kakarott’s brat.”
“Maybe,” Bulma whispered and ran
back inside to phone Chi Chi.
“I’m sorry Bulma, but Trunks is not
here,” Chi Chi replied from the phone.
“Okay, thanks anyway,” Bulma
said and turned the phone off. Bulma also phoned everyone
but
they didn’t find or see Trunks. Bulma went back outside to
Vegeta. “Nobody found him,” she
said, tears started to form in
her eyes.
“What?!!! Nobody found him?!!!” Vegeta
actually sounded worried. He went over to Bulma
and hugged
her.
“My poor baby is out there in the dark by himself. What
if something happens to him?” she
sobbed.
“Calm down.
Let’s go inside and figure something out,” Vegeta suggested, walking Bulma
back
inside.
Bulma was talking to the police over the phone in
the kitchen. She told them that
Trunks
dissappeared.
“We’ll try our best ma’am,” a police told
her over the phone.
“Okay. Thanks,” Bulma said and hang
up.
“What did they say?” Vegeta asked.
“They said they’ll do
their best to find Trunks. I wonder what made him dissappear like
that,” she
replied. “Hey, can’t you track him down by finding his
ki?”
“I can’t. Trunks doesn’t have any. He has to train
like me to build up a ki,” Vegeta answered.
***
“They won’t
find me here,” Trunks panted as he sat under a tree, deep in the
forest. “Papa and
Mama won’t fight anymore now that I’m
gone.” Trunks lay on the ground and fell asleep.
Trunks woke
up when morning came. His stomach growled in hunger. He got up
and searched
for food. He found an apple tree and climbed
it.
“Yuumm. This apple is good,” Trunks said as he took a
bite of the apple he held on his hand. He
climbed the tree higher
and picked more apples and dropped them on the ground. He
jumped
down and gathered the apples he dropped. It only took him
five minutes to gobble them all up.
After that, he was thirsty and got
up to search for water. He found a small, clear stream. He
bent
down and dunked his face in the stream and began to drink.
“Boy, that’s nice and cold water.”
***
“What did the police
say about Trunks?” Vegeta asked Bulma, eating his breakfast with her in
the
kitchen.
“They found nothing,” Bulma
sighed.
“Really? Any idea why he ran away?”
“Don’t be
so dense you ape! He probably ran away because of YOU!!!” Bulma
yelled as she
stood up and slammed her fists on the table. Vegeta
remained silent. “What if we never find
him?” she sobbed.
She putted her hands on her face and began to cry and ran up to their
room.
Vegeta followed her. He saw Bulma crying on the bed as
he entered their room. “I’m sorry...”
he said, sitting beside her
on the bed. Bulma sat up and glared at Vegeta.
“What do you
mean you’re sorry!” she exploded. “Before we got married you told me
that you
would care for Trunks! You broke your promise
Vegeta. Why can’t you be a father to Trunks?”
“I don’t
know... It’s just that...” Vegeta stammered.
“...Your stupid
pride won’t let you, isn’t it?!!! I don’t believe this?!!!
You’d rather stick to your
pride rather than love your son?!!!” Bulma
yelled.
“Now don’t you dare say that!!! I may not show it but
I love Trunks...” he whispered on his last
statement and Bulma
heard.
“What did you say?”
“I said I love Trunks. I
know that this is all my fault, me and my stupid pride. I don’t want
to
lose my only son...” Vegeta answered and tears formed in his
eyes.
