Letting go
“Why is she the first one you run to?” Asked the women.
“I am not running and why does she bother you?” He asked
“Its true, you do run and I am not bothered by her its just that I should be the first person you go to with things I am your wife!” Huffily she turned her back to stare out the window
He too stood up, not believing his ears, how could his own wife be jealous, hadn't he been a dedicated husband for five years…
“Whether it makes since to you or not, she just happens to be one of my best friends, you don't get mad about Goten or even Bra, she is like my sister for Kami sakes!”
“But why do you run to her and not me, do you think I could not understand? Am I not one of your best friends too?” She really needed to know...
Turning his back, “Yes you are my best friend, but she she had been there and she understands...” He cut off with the look he was now receiving from her...
“I understand too” the hitch in her voice unmistakable.
He had the decency to look ashamed, for letting her down. He had always gone to Pan first with any big deal or problem he had. Even before, he went to Goten, but he never went to his wife first. He did not know how to explain it without making her have more hurt, and that was the last thing he wanted to do. He thought of one thing that might help,
“She knows me better then myself, she and I have a connection that must have something to do with being part Siayan, it's the only thing I think of as to why I go to her first” he held his breath waiting for the tirade that was to come.
Shaking her head, “You ass.” She spoke quietly.
He waited for more but nothing else came. He tried to decipher the look but was surprised not to see anger, instead she looked like she had just found a very interesting artifact and was looking it over with new wonder.
Mia walked out of the room leaving Trunks staring at the closed door. He could not put his finger on it but somehow he knew that this had not been a normal fight, nor did anyone win. Trunks had an odd feeling that something had changed.
Mia sped her air car to her husband's parent's house. She loved Trunks to distraction, but he had touched on the one thing she could never understand. He was after all an alien. True she had seen enough things in her life to accept that fact; you do not live in Satan City and not see all the strange things that had happened over the years. When Trunks and his friends and family finally explained their heritage to her, she was relieved to know. She had not really cared; she loved Trunks by then and was just glad she was not insane. It was not such a bad thing to live with; she preferred to have a savior alien then a normal earthling with too many faults. She loved how loyal Trunks were to her, and how they all held such intense passion for their families. She could not even really fault any of them, not even Pan. Never the less, she could not be on par with them. Even though Bulma, Chichi, and Videl were not Siayan, they had something she really lacked. She needed some answers and one Man could answer her.
HE could feel her approach before she got there. Like the others, he had kept track of her Ki when the boy showed a greater interest. Now for the past eight years he could pick it up, and right now, it was distressed, and Trunks and Bulma were at work. He reasoned enough that she was coming there to see him. He thought better of her more now then ever; it was rare to find any women brave enough to face him…
Leaving his precious GR, he watched her land the air car. He noticed on more than one occasion that she was beautiful. Trunks had chosen well, and the Onna really did love the boy. However, he knew that that was why she seemed so distressed.
Mia stepped out the air car and approached him. Cockily she eyed the dangerous little man and informed him of her state of mind, “I see that you are not surprised to see me Vegeta, though I hardly expected anything less from the Prince of all Saiyans”
A little startled he only blinked. “What drives you to seek my audience Mia?”
“Humph, I knew you would know I wanted to talk, but now I want you to help me figure something out”
Cocking an eyebrow, Mia laughed at his antic. He really could be intimidating, but she had no choice her whole life depended on this information.
“Vegeta, tell me, who are Saiyans normally at ease with?” She asked knowing the answer.
“Why bother me with silly questions” Pointing to her “you tell me”
“So why did you marry Bulma?”
“Because she had my heir.” He refused to give her anything to use against him.
“Oh Please, I doubt that. Tell me for real, you love her, am I right?”
He stared coldly at her. He hated being baited by anyone, “Fine believe it then I love her get on with it”
“You really do make talking to you hard”
He smirked, that was true.
“Vegeta, why didn't you marry a Siayan?”
Quizzically, he looked at her as if she was a child, but answered patiently, “there were no Saiyan Females, but it didn't matter I am sure that I would have loved Bulma if there were.”
“But there weren't any, so you can't be sure, right”
“Look does this have a point?”
“Do you agree with Trunks choice by marrying me?”
“I am talking to you aren't I?”
“Stop it, I am serious”
“So am I, if I didn't approve, you would be standing here alone, and as yet you might be if you keep this line of insane chatter up!”
“Fair enough, I don't think that I should have married your son”
He smiled, so he thought, the girl was smarter, then she looked, but then did not that make her a good choice for Trunks, he had thought that before but he thought even more so now.
“Why not Mia?” he really wanted to know
“I think that he should have married a Saiyan, someone who could understand him better then I ever could” was her plaintive cry
“Kakarot, Gohan, or I have married earthlings”
“But like you said there were no other Siayan females”
“Yes but Chichi and Bulma and Videl love us and we love them and they understand us better then we do ourselves. Just like you love Trunks and understand him better”
“That's just it, I don't understand everything, and I am not the one who-who he trusts explicitly like that”
“What Happened?”
“Nothing, it should have been nothing just a little spat, I think from jealousy, but somehow it feels like it was something more, and I don't think even Trunks understands it.”
Mia, what were you jealous of?”
Getting brave she had decidedly needed to talk, Vegeta had been very gracious, and obviously he cared for her and Trunks so she had to let someone know. “I was mad that he ran to her to help him with that new merger? He wanted advice, and I got mad that he had not talked to me and then when all went well he called her first and they celebrated before I even knew about it and then I got angry and stalked over to CC to ask why he always ran to her and he could not really answer then he said that she was the only one who understood him, and I told him I understood him that I was his best friend too, then he said that she had always understood him better then he understood himself, that was probably because she was part Saiyan, and that's when it hit me..” she had rushed though the explanation which sounded a lot like rambling…
Vegeta had heard her fast and pressured speech. He had a deep sinking feeling that his nice little world was going to be shaken up by what Mia had figured. It was too late now he thought sadly, he had really like the girl, she would have been a perfect wife for his son, but now it seemed that there were things beyond his control, beyond anyone's control. If Kakarot had bared witness to this conversation, he would have lost his happy look.
“Who is the her Mia?” he asked softly,
“You know who” she sniffled, tired now that this game of conversation had really done nothing more then make her miss the life she was going to leave
“They would only be friends, especially now, you should stay”
“You know I knew you would know I was leaving”
“This is your life, you should fight for your life and not give up!” he angrily announced
“I am not running away I am just getting out of the way, I love you all to much, this could get ugly and he is right, even though he don't know it”
“Right, what is he right about?”
“Pan knows him better then he does himself”
“But Mia they are only friends, if you leave you will do more harm then good to everyone!”
“Ahh Vegeta I didn't know you cared!” she gushed wanting to get Vegeta back he was sounding almost desperate
Catching his pleading voice he stopped, “You know more then you have given yourself credit for.”
“I already made up my mind; I just needed to know how important it is for a Saiyan to be with other Saiyans?”
He knew he might not see this very sweet woman again, but she was more stubborn then Bulma, and she really loved Trunks, but deep down she knew that Trunks was not being true to himself if she stayed. He was angered that Trunks could not let go of his attachment to Pan. Pan had been a child, if they had been closer in age then nothing would have stopped the two of them, that attraction would have been too great… be as it may it never was, but why now?
“If you leave, you might not be able to come back”
“It's ok, I don't want to compete here, and it really is not fair to anyone”
“He is already yours,” Vegeta reminded her
“Do you really believe that?”
“Yes, being on this world I have seen things that I would have never believed before it could work out” But he was not sure. Then Vegeta did the only thing to reassure himself; He tilted Mia's head over and looked at her neck. He knew it was not there. His son had never marked her that was why she could leave…
“I really stumped you didn't I? Oh Vegeta don't be worried about my happiness, I will find my true love one day...” She had to give him something to think about something to compare it to, “Just like Bra has” she smiled at the Man and ran to her car, and she was packing up and leaving that day….
Trudging home, Trunks strange feeling never left. He opened the front door and wondered into the kitchen. He went to open he fridge and there was a note…
Dear Trunks,
Do not be worried about me. I will be in touch. Please do not try to look for me, just let me go. I am not coming back and that is for both of us. I am not angry or jealous, so do not use that excuse. Do not blame yourself this is not your fault. This is about me today and from now on. Maybe one day you will understand why I did this. I want you to be happier then you have ever been. Trust me, one day you will see what has been in front of you all along; that elusive dream is right there, for you. Do me a favor, I know it might be hard to be nice to me right now, but promise that you stay loyal, not to me but to your family and friends. I love you Trunks, and because of that, I am letting you go.
Mia
