Trunks' Bad Dream

"Mommy!! Daddy!!! Everyone!!! Stop!!!" Trunks yelled, He saw a big green monster eating all of his friends and family. "No!!!" he cried. "Huh?" He woke up, it had all been a bad dream, but he was still scared. He walked into his parents room, they were both asleep. "Daddy?" He tugged on Vegeta's shirt. "Huh? Trunks? What do you want?" he said half asleep. "I had a scary dream." He said clinging to his fathers arm. Vegeta looked at the clock, it was almost 3:00 am. "You shouldn't be scared of dreams, they aren't real." Vegeta scolded. "But it seemed so real, and now I can't get back to sleep." the 3 year old sayin said. "Do you want to get a drink?" Vegeta asked now fully awake. "Uh hu" trunks said simply. Vegeta got out of bed careful not to wake Bulma, he picked up his son, and took him down stairs.

"Daddy, I'm kinda hungry too. Can we get something to eat?" Vegeta didn't feel like complaining this late at night so he got a glass of milk for and handed it to trunks then got some for himself. Then he looked through the refrigerator looking for something that would make a good snack. "Here." he said hading him a sub sandwiches, and got one for himself. "Thank you." They went to the table and ate their sandwiches quietly. "Hey Daddy..." Trunks started, "What?" Vegeta looked at his son confused. "Why do I only have one grandpa?" he asked.

Vegeta still stared at his son; he didn't want to tell Trunks what happened because he hated to see his son cry, even though he doesn't show it. "Why?" Vegeta asked, he didn't like his father much because he wasn't ever there for him. "Because mommy's daddy is grandpa, right? But what about your daddy were did he go?" "My father was killed..." Vegeta said not knowing how his son would react. "But how, and when?" Trunks looked at his father wide eyed. "Freiza killed him when I was very young. I don't remember him very well..." Vegeta continued. "What's a freiza? Why did it kill grandpa? Can you tell me what grandpa was like?" "Freiza was a really bad man, he would killed millions of people every chance he had. He killed grandpa because he was the king of all sayins and challenged freiza." " You mean your prince of sayians!" Vegeta smiled at his son. "Yes I am the prince of the sayains." "Cool! But why was freiza so bad, it isn't nice to hurt people." trunks asked in his confused voice. "Because he found it fun to hurt everyone in sight!"

"Can you tell me about grandpa?" Trunks asked, "He wasn't there for me very often. He told me never to cry, just because I was the sayain prince." Vegeta started, "Once I was learning how to fly and I fell, it hurt and I almost started to cry. He told me that I was weak and that people who cry are vulnerable." Trunks looked up at his father, "But daddy, you are the strongest person in the whole word! Boom, Bang, Bam! You teach bad people lessons!" "Lets get you back into bed." Vegeta said almost smiling. "Okay daddy!" They walked back up to Trunks room. Vegeta made a bed on the floor for himself and sat up in tell Trunks fell asleep. Trunks did dream again, but this time Vegeta was beating up the monster.
