"Ma, are you there? It's me, Trunks. Ma?" No answer. Trunks went to his mother's lab but couldn't find her there. He walked all floors, but nowhere a trace of her. > Probably shopping. Typical.

“Bra, what happened and where is Ma?” She looked up briefly and then buried her face in a pillow again. Trunks sat down with her and put an arm around her shoulder.


“What happened to Ma?” Bra nodded.


"She ... she ..." However, she had to break off again because she couldn't pronounce it. He already suspected what was going on.


"Where's dad?" He wanted to know from his sister. She shrugged.


"I have no idea. Haven't seen him today. He just left a note."Trunks got up and hurried back to the house.> Paps and papers left? Those are two completely different pairs of shoes!" He ran through the living room and there was actually a note from Vegeta on the dresser.


Don't come home tonight. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Vegeta


Trunks went up to the bedroom. He opened the door. What he saw gave him a big blow. Bulma was lying (pretty) dead on the bed. She had closed her eyes and clasped her hands. As if she fell asleep like this. Trunks couldn't believe what he was seeing. His mother, dead? Et rushed to her and shook her shoulders.


"Ma, Ma! Hey wake up! Finally wake up!"


"Forget it! The doctor was already here. She is clearly dead." Trunks turned around. Bra stood by the door frame and wiped the tears from his eyes. He sagged on the floor and cried. He had expected her to die at some point, but not today.Someday, in a few years. Bra knelt down to her older brother and hugged him. A few minutes of silence passed.




“Sorry to bother you, but is Trunks with you by any chance?” Gohan looked into the worried face of Juicey, who was quite soaked from the rain.


"Videl, come over here! I think you have a visitor.", He called and immediately Videl hurried to the door.


"What's up? Oh, Juicey. Nice to see you! Come in first!" Juicey went into the living room, accompanied by her best friend and Gohan.


"How not turned up now?", Videl and Gohan called out of one mouth.


"He didn't come home last night. I also asked ChiChi because he and Son-Goten are best friends, but not a trace! If he stays away longer, he'll at least let me know! I understand that not. And nobody answers the phone at Bulma. And he's not in Capsule Corp. either!That's why I thought you might know where he is !? "


"I'm sorry, I didn't see Trunks. And you honey?" Videl looked at her husband.


"No, neither do I. Maybe Pan ...!?" Videl called Pan down.


"Pan, please come down! We have to ask you something!" Pan came jumping down the stairs. She was nineteen now and was just starting to study. In fact, it looked exactly the same as it did five years ago. Pan's hair was still the same length, but now she wore earrings and was dressed more "ladylike".


"What's up? Hello Juicey, where did you leave Trunks and Cherry?"


"That's what it's about!" said Gohan.


"Did you see him by chance?"


"Nope, but could you explain to me what it is about?"


"Later honey, later. Now we have to think about what we ..." She was interrupted by the ringing on the door. When she opened it, she could see a soaked Son-Goten and an equally wet Trunks.

"Don't worry. If you want, you can stay here for a while!"


"Are you sure? Not the juicey or Cherry ..." Trunks broke off when he saw Videl Juicey from behind, who immediately came running. Videl was gently pushed aside and she was already standing in front of him.


“Trunks, where have you been all this time?” Tears welled up in her eyes. Trunks looked to the side. That was still missing.


"Needed a break." He looked at her.


"Until further notice," added Trunks. Juicey could only shake her head slightly.


"Oh yeah? I'm worried that something might have happened and ... and ..." He cut her off.


"Sorry." Juicey took off and ...




GOSSIP!




Before Trunks knew it, she'd slapped him on the face. The last time she gave him one was over 15 years ago.


“Don't come home until you can think clearly again!” With these words Juicey passed Trunks without giving him another look.And Goten could have bet that she even cried while doing it ...




"Cherry stay here! You can't get out now. It's raining and storming outside." Melanie tried to hold Cherry, but she bit her arm.


"Ouch! Are you crazy? You can't bite my arm! What are you thinking about that?"


"Nothing!" Replied Cherry and ran around the house.


"Stop!"


"But I do not want to!"


Suddenly the door was opened and the two forgot their argument for a moment when they saw Juicey. Melanie sent Cherry upstairs and first made her some tea. Juicey took off her jacket, hung it up, and sat on a chair in the kitchen.


"Hey, what's the matter with you? What happened?"


"I stupid cow!" Was the only thing Juicey said and let her head drop on the kitchen table. She repeats this sentence until Melanie has enough.


"Yes, yes. I understand that you are a stupid cow.Can you please tell me why? "Juicey held up a hand.


"And what does that mean? I can't sign language!" Juicey sat up.


"I have ... trunks ... well ..." Melanie tried to interpret this sentence.


“Arguing?” Shaking his head.


“Shouted at?” Shaking his head.


“Broke up?” Juicey looked horrified.


"Okay, okay! So what did you do?"


"Slapped." Melanie dropped her cup.


"Ge-ear-cowardly." (* short pause to grasp the situation *)


“EARTHED?” Juicey nodded. Melanie had to sit down.


"And for what reason?"


"Because ... and then ... So ... before ... What is it ... I understand ... What did I give him ..." (* an hour later *) That's why I have him slapped! Isn't it understandable, isn't it? "Melanie shook her head.


"I knew it! I stupid, stupid cow!" Juicey banged his head on the table.


“Now what?” Melanie looked at her.

"Oh no! No no no no no no no no! Guaranteed not! Not me! Either he or there is war forever! So!" Melanie sighed.




At the same time with Videl and Gohan




"No, Son-Goten! No, no and again no! I do not apologize! Either she says that she is sorry or there is war forever and ever! And with that, Basta!" Son-Goten, Son-Gohan, Videl and Pan sighed.




Back at Juicey walking the streets




> So stupid. Why couldn't it have continued to storm? Now I have to apologize to Trunks! But who knows? Actually, I overreacted too! I could have yelled at him or did something, but why did I have to slap him? The last one had lasted a long time. Hopefully he'll come home again! Cherry is already crying when he's gone overnight! How should it look like for a few weeks or worse, even forever?<


"No, I'll apologize! Exactly!" She said to herself and trudged down the street.




> Why me? I don't see why I should apologize to her! Well, I actually screwed up a lot! Could at least have told her that I wanted to stay away for a few days.

"Let's just try!" He turned a corner and ...




BOOM!




"Ouch! Can't you do better ... Trunks?" Juicey looked at him in surprise.


"Juicey ... Sorry, no intention. Come on, I'll help you up!" Trunks pulled Juicey up, which had landed on the floor. For a brief moment the two looked into each other's eyes, but Juicey fended off his typical "Are you okay?" Look that always made her weak.


“It's okay.” There was a long silence when it suddenly started raining again.


"Shit, and I don't have an umbrella with me!" Juicey said to himself rather than to Trunks.He thought.


"Well ... I don't have one with me either, but we could sit down in the café over there !?" Juicey looked at him briefly.


"Yeah ... well, it's okay," she stammered and walked over to the café.




“It's been an hour and it's still raining.” Juicey looked out the window and took a sip of her cappuccino. Trunks checked his watch. > Right. And we've been silent for an hour. <, he thought and was about to explain the reason for his brief disappearance when she got up and went to the counter. When she came back he tried again.


"Juicey, well, I'd like to talk to you ..." She nodded.


"So first of all, I'm sorry for causing you so much grief and for giving you such a taxed response ... Sorry."


"I wanted to escape too ..." Trunks didn't let her finish.


"Please listen to me first! I would like to explain what happened to you." Juicey nodded again.

“Okay, sorry!” He continued.


"Me, I went to visit my mother. And she was always fine. I went into the house, but I didn't find her. When I went into the garden, I found my sister, totally weeping. I asked what was going on but she was apparently so in shock, she couldn't say anything. I suddenly got this kind of weird feeling and ran into my parents' bedroom. And when I walked in, there ... there ... My mother, Ma, she was just lying on the bed like that , completely motionless. I ... I really didn't know what to do! I tried to wake her up. But, she ... she ... "Trunks broke off and put his head in his hands.


"Do you mean your mother, Bulma is ...?" Trunks looked at her.


"Yeah, she's ... dead." Juicey couldn't believe it. Bulma
