Don’t Wanna Lose You Now
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I never thought that I would lose my mind,
That I could control this.
Never thought that I’d be left behind,
That I was stronger than you, baby.
Girl if only I knew what I’ve done,
You know, so why don’t you tell me.
And I, I would bring down the moon and the sun,
To show how much I care

The battle was over. The monster had been killed, but not without heavy destruction and one severe casualty. Trunks looked over at his father, Vegeta, holding his most precious treasure, dying, in his arms. His mother, Bulma. Vegeta had died twice before, but the pain had never been as much as he felt now. Goku and the other senshi hung back to give Vegeta time with his dying wife. Vegeta looked at Bulma’s face, into her dark blue eyes, that had become cloudy and faded with the pain and realization of death. But that was the price for marring a man who lived to fight. A stray tear slid down her pale cheek as she felt herself weaken slowly. Vegeta’s hand gently wiped it away.
"Why did you do it?" he asked, although he already knew the answer.
"Because…I love…you," she said. The fatal blow that had hit her, had been meant for Vegeta, but putting herself in danger, she had pushed him out of the way and taken the blow full force.

Don’t wanna lose you now.
Baby, I know we can win this.
Don’t wanna lose you now.
No no, or ever again.
I’ve got this feeling you’re not gonna stay.
It’s burning within me.
The fear of losing
Of slipping away
Keeps getting closer, baby.

A single tear fell down her face and she realized that it wasn’t her own, rather it was Vegeta’s.
"Is my proud…prince…crying?" she asked him, giving a fake laugh. Vegeta smiled at her attempt at humor.
"Yes…and I’ll never admit it again. Don’t worry, I’ll wish you back," he said as he hugged her close to his body. Her delicate had grasped his in fear as pain shot through her body. Then there was a peace, and her body fell limp in his arms. Vegeta hugged her tighter.
"You…you can’t die, Bulma. Trunks needs you. I need you," he said through his tears. Then when the realization that his beloved wife was gone, he howled into the night like a wild animal. It would take a while before he could get all seven Dragonballs, and when he did wish her back, things would definitely be different between the two of them.

Don’t want to lose to loneliness
Girl I know we can win
Don’t want to lose to emptiness, oh no
Never again,
Don’t wanna lose you now
