“You’ve seen my father?” Trunks asked.
“Well not really, but um, sorry to say this guys but Vegeta lost that war,” Goku said trying to sound very sympathetic.
Bulma and Trunks both got quiet. They stood there for a moment as Bulma then nodded softly. She had figured something like that would have happened. She looked over to Trunks to see he had a half-shocked look on his face.
“Dead…my…my father…is dead?” Trunks choked out quietly.
“Sorry Trunks. But don’t worry. He’ll be coming to see you real soon. In about another year I think,” Goku said trying to calculate the time differences in his head.
“Will you be coming as well Goku? We haven’t seen you in a while,” Bulma asked.
“I’m not quite sure yet. I haven’t really worked out all the details but we’ll see,” Goku said.
With that Goku said his goodbyes and the room became silent once more. Bulma sipped some more of her coffee and watched as Trunks stood there still absorbing the shock of his father’s death. He had never seen his dad die but he had always heard about it. And it didn’t matter whether he was coming back or not he still felt hurt every time he heard it. Trunks stood there for a moment looking down into the counter, he then walked back outside.
