| Chapter 8 |
| She had no idea why she collected the Dragon Balls, she didn't need them. But it would save time in case of a emergency instead of taking a day or two finding them. No one knew about her having the Dragon Balls not even Trunks. Nobody used the dragon radar unless someone died or a real emergency. It would save alot of time! She walked outside and Bulma was working on the time machine, but why? There was no problem in this timeline.Bulma explained that Trunks had to tell past Bulma about a event that could have gotten the timeline(Future Bulma is from) in destruction. It wasn't about android #17 and #18, it was the android 34 that could copy a person dna and be their clone. Bulma just found out Gero's other storage space for androids that would awaken in time. Luckily, Vegeta destroyed all of them before they were awake. The past timeline had no idea about the "storage space" and it could be the end of the past timeline if they weren't warned. 2 weeks later- Shiroke wished Trunks good luck and hoped he wouldn't stay in the past too long. So he went back into the past waving good bye to everyone and promised that he would come back. The next couple of months were pretty sad for Shiroke... why? Because she had this whole house to herself, and she felt pretty lonely. She invited Deuio to come over once in a while just to keep the emptiness in control. She tried not to worry about Trunks but it bothered her eventually. There were rumors that Shrioke and Trunks got divorced or Shiroke killed Trunks around the media. The whole family and Z fighters could not tell the media about time machine, it was too valueable to get stolen. It took 3 years for Bulma to make it and she would not get it stolen. A year passed eventually, and Shiroke was worrying like hell. The trip should only take 3 months about, that's what Bulma said. Did it take a year just to tell the past timeline about a android storage space ??? Shiroke had some problems at night,too... she was seeing things sometimes. She would run to "Trunks"and he would dissapear right when she hugged "him". She wondered what was wrong with her soon after, she was strong, or well she thought. She made herself confined to the gravity room and the house because it hurt so much just to see couples outside talking and laughing. The media was getting to her too, they were constantly chasing after her trying to get questions answered, it was too much. Bulma noticed it too, and told the media off. It was sad enough for Shiroke to see Trunks leave, waiting for him to return, and then having the media pester her. "Was Trunks dead?", Shiroke thought to herself, it had been way too long to be gone. She kept seeing things after,probably because she was lonely, heartbroken, irritated with media, and worried. Could she handel it? She didn't know. She was idle like a stick for days wondering if he was ok. The media would not go away.. and it happened one day when Bulma and the Z fighters were inside the living room(in CC), that the media irritated her to rage. Bulma was going to eat a piece of cake with the rest of the Z fighters because it was a reunion( Vegeta was there too, Bulma managed to get him out) thing that happened every year. Just as they were going to pick up the slices of cake, a huge ki blast was breaking out the windows out of the gravity room. There was Shiroke stomping outside yelling,"DO YOU THINK I WANT MY HUSBAND DEAD????!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE IS, YOU IDIOTS!! I'M ALREADY SICK WITH GRIEF AND YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE!!!!!!!!" The ki blast was so strong that it knocked the media far away from the gravity room and CC. She fell to the hard tiled floor of the gravity room sobbing. She had waited and waited and still no response. Videl tried to talk to Shiroke but there was no luck. She refused to listen to anyone, even Bulma. Everyone outside the gravity room were wondering what she was going to do next. She wanted to do something except she couldn't. She thought training could keep her thoughts off for a moment, but it just made her remember how Trunks and her used to spar every morning. She fought emotions no matter how hard it seemed to stop them, and started to train again in the gravity room, eventually. The media called her "mentally ill"because she "killed" Trunks. They tried to prove it by saying that she kept saying Trunks name, and promised charges would be against her. Bulma heard about the news whenever she turned on the TV and was furious because Shiroke was worried sick and getting her arrested for something she didn't do, was probably going to kill her in grief.What was worse is that it was declared Shiroke unmarried again because Trunks was missing too long and people were getting superstitious about her. Shiroke heard the news and she took off her wedding ring and was going to destroy it until something stopped her. It was something inside her telling her to forget about the media,etc and just have faith. She had faith but it wasn't very strong. Trunks was alive, she knew it, somehow. She went inside her house and grabbed a cd and cd player. She played the song, that Trunks and her loved, she would have to overcome her grief one day she had to, it was "Again"by Lenny Kravitz. All of my life Where have you been I wonder if I'll ever see you again And if that day comes I know we could win I wonder if I'll ever see you again........ ..........At every time I've always known That you where there, upon your throne A lonely queen without her king I longed for you, my love forever..... The song reminded her that Trunks promised that he would come back one day. She had more faith then ever, he would come back. Trunks never broke a promise and he wouldn't break this one, she was certain. "Hope"was all she needed, and she hoped that Trunks would come back to this timeline safetly. |
