A Mirai Trunks Love Story

You sat in the plane next to Trunks when you hear Bulma making a phone call.

“Hello Dr. Pepper, it’s me Bulma Brief. Would you mind coming to the Capsule Corporation at around 2 PM today please? My son had a bit of an accident and he is in need of serious medical attention…Yes thank you so much, good bye!”

“So what’s your name?” Trunks asks looking up at you from where he was lying down. You were too busy contemplating about your situation and if this was all a dream or if it was reality, you didn’t hear his question.

“Hey are you alright?” He asks looking confused. You jerk out of your state when you realize he was talking to you.

“Huh? Oh I’m sorry I was just thinking.” You say rubbing the back of your head. “I’m sorry what did you ask?”

“What’s your name?” He repeated his question with, again, a look of confusion.

“Oh right, my name is Nori.” You say with a smile. You looked at Trunks but Bulma answered back.

“Nice to meet you Nori, what a pretty name, my name is Bulma and this is my son Trunks. But you probably already knew that right? I take it you two know each other?”

“Uh, no.” Trunks said blushing.

“Oh then you must have saved her from the android attack, well at least some good came out of you not listening to me. Well we’re here guys.” Bulma says as she descends the plane to the ground. You lifted Trunks from under his right arm and Bulma lifted his left as you exit the plane and head towards Capsule Corp. As you walk inside you couldn’t help but notice how big Capsule Corp. actually was, even though it was falling apart because of the androids it was still really nice.

“Trunks just hang on sweetie the doctor should be here any minute,” Bulma said comforting her son as you both place him gently on a bed in Bulma’s Lab. There was a knock on the door and Bulma rushed out of the room yelling “That must be him!” Trunks closes his eyes seemingly, about to doze off, you couldn’t help but stare at him. He looked so peaceful and very handsome even though he was covered in bruises. You brush your hand over the side of his face and move his hair out of his eyes. He opens his beautiful blue orbs, looks up at you, and smiles. You just simply blush regretting what you had just done because you thought he was asleep.

“Right this way Dr. Pepper”, you heard Bulma come into the room. You decided there were too many people in there. “ Um..I’ll just wait outside.” You say as you walk out. You sat down on the couch in the living room a bit agitated because this was all still too overwhelming. Is this really happening? Am I really here? This can’t be a dream. You look down at your wrist where Android 17 had grabbed you earlier and notice it had a purple bruise around it. You touch it lightly and wince in pain.

“What’s the matter?” You hear Bulma from behind you.

“Oh it’s nothing really, just a bruise from earlier today.” You say thinking nothing of it.

“Let me see…” she gently grabbed your hand and looked at the bruise the got up and walked over to the refrigerator. You didn’t see exactly what she took out until she came back and put a small bag of frozen vegetables on your wrist. “Just keep this on there for a while, it should be ok in a few days.” She said smiling. “So where do you live?”

“Oh, uhm…no where really.” You say looking down .

“What? Do you mean to say the Androids destroyed your home? What happened to your family?” She asked looking a bit worried.

“Well no, it’s a funny story actually. I don’t know how to explain it.” You were contemplating whether or not if you should tell her that where you’re from, this was all just a TV show. Bulma gave you a rather confusing look. Unsure of what you mean she says, “I know we’ve only just met but trust me, there isn’t anything you can possibly say that would freak me out. Trust me I’ve been through some weird things in my life that defy the things I believe in and I’m a Scientist. I want you to know that you can tell me anything.” You know this was definitely true. She was after all Scientist who believes in magic and mystical creatures. And you obviously know you can trust Bulma, but she doesn’t know that you know all about her friends and family and the journeys they’ve been through together. You sighed thinking of how you were going to explain it all to her so that it makes sense.

“Well see, I’m not from this dimension….th-this universe. I do in fact know I can trust you Bulma and tell you anything because I know off you, your friends, family, and all the stuff you people have been through and what’s going to happen. I know all of this because in my world this is just a cartoon show…” you paused for a while so she can take this all in. She looked at you with wide eyes, jaws opened. “This is a show called Dragonball Z…I hope I’m not freaking you out or anything.”

“Wow this certainly is overwhelming.” She said trying to make sense of what you’re saying. “So how did you get here?”

“Well, that is something I don’t really understand. I was on my computer last night looking at the Dragonball Z website and I clicked on this really weird glowing button and there was a flash that somehow transported me to this world, and I don’t know if I can get back to my world.” Bulma was just staring at you, as if she was deep in thought trying to figure out if there’s a possibility of two different dimensions coexisting. All of a sudden, a smile played across her face.

“Don’t worry hun, I will help you find a way back home.” She said with a comforting giggle. “In the mean time, you are welcomed to stay here with us since you have no where else to go.”

“Thank you so much Bulma, I really appreciate all of this.” You were both interrupted when the doctor came out of the lab, finished with his job.

“Your son is going to be just fine Ms. Brief. Just let him rest and he should be up and running within couple of days.”

“Oh thank you Doctor, I’ll walk you out.” Bulma said gesturing toward the door.

You were so relieved that Bulma was going to let you stay here and help you find a way to get back home. Your mind wander to Trunks when you realize this was around the time he agrees to go back in time with his mother’s time machine to warn the others in the past about the androids. You weren’t sure at this point if you wanted to leave so early. You notice Bulma walk back into the room, about to go into the Lab her son was in when you stopped her. “Ya know Bulma, since you’ve been busy working on the time machine for Trunks to back into the past and the androids here are still alive, I think I wouldn’t mind staying here for a while. After all this show is one of my favorite anime of all time and I want to get to know you guys a bit more.”

“That’s fine.” Bulma giggled, “I would be interested in hearing more on what you know about us and what your world is like, ya know…just to see if you’re making this up.” She winks and walks into the Lab. You laugh leaning against the wall outside of the room. After what seemed like 20 minutes, she walked back out and decided to show you where you will be sleeping.

You follow her upstairs and down the hall, she showed you her room, which was next to yours, and Trunks’ room, which was right opposite of yours and finally your room. You walk in and see that it was a medium sized room with a comfortable looking bed with flower patterned bed sheets and a dark blue comforter. There was a cute little nightstand next to the bed with a lamp and a little red rug in front. The windows were covered with a white lacy curtain. Bulma informed you that you had your own bathroom and that there were clean towels in there. “Since I assume you don’t have any clothes we will go shopping tomorrow. In the mean time you can have some of my old clothes.” She walks out of the room and you sat on the bed running your fingers over the flower patterning; the bed was so soft. Bulma came back shortly after and handed you clean undies, Capri jeans and a tank top, for you to wear tomorrow on your shopping trip, since the clothes you had on now where filthy and tattered. She also gave you blue silky pajama pants with flowers on them and a plain silky red spaghetti strap tank top for you to sleep in. You were really grateful. “You should shower and get into your pajamas, Nori. After you’re finished come back downstairs, I’ll be making some food for you cause you must be starving.”

“I am, come to think of it. Thank you Bulma.”

“No problem dear.” She said as she walked out to give you your privacy.

You walked into the bathroom and notice it was so clean and white. There were white painted walls, white tiles, and a white tub/toilet/vanity. And it smelled of lemon. You giggle, and walk over to the tub to turn on the water. You started to undress and hopped into the tub. The water felt so nice on your skin, so relaxing. After about 5 minutes of soaking, you grab a bottle of cocoa scented body washed and scrub your body until you were clean and satisfied. You wash your hair with a lavender scented shampoo/conditioner. After you rinse, you climb out of the tub, grab a towel from the shelf, and wrap it around your body. You walk back into your room and slip on your clean underwear and pajamas and head back downstairs for some food because you were so incredibly starving.

The smell of chicken noodle soup filled the kitchen as you walk in and sat at the table. Bulma turned around to greet you, and started to spoon some into a bowl. You both ate and talked about the differences and similarities between your world and theirs. She was very interested. Even though you told her compared to their world, ours was plain and boring. It didn’t matter to her because she told you she might want to see it one day. As if it were possible. Who knows, maybe it was. After you were finished eating, you tell Bulma goodnight and went into the Lab to say goodnight to Trunks, who was hopefully asleep. You walk in and see him sleeping quite peacefully, you walk over to him and kiss him gently on his forehead to which he opens his eyes. Again your faced flushed with embarrassment because this happened twice.

“What was that for?” He says in a gentle voice slightly blushing and smiling at you.

“J-just a thank you for saving my butt today. By the way you really need to stop pretending you’re asleep to save me of the embarrassment.” You gently nudge his left arm.

“You don’t need to be embarrassed…I-I don’t mind.” He says looking down, blushing.

You smiled, “Goodnight Trunks. Thanks again.”

“Goodnight Nori.”

You walk out, shut the door gently, and head upstairs and into your room. You jump in your bed a bit too excited that you actually kissed Trunks, even thought it was just a sign of gratitude. You felt you heart pump a mile a minute because you have always loved Trunks ever since you first saw him on the show. You felt your body drifting off as sleep consumed you dreaming about Trunks and what your life is going to be like here in the Z universe.
