~Prologue~ He stood silently beside the apple tree, a tear slowly rolled down his cheek. He didn't bother wiping it, he knew that emotions were not for hiding. But he had never felt so much pain in his life, he didn't know that love would hurt so much.

Love. . . what it was. . . he never knew until he met her. . .

Love. . . how cruel it was. . . he never knew until he lost her. . .

He didn't know what to do. . . he had never felt so many emotions all at once. pain. . . jealousy. . . anger. . . The pain of losing her to him. . . The jealousy of him having her. . .

The anger towards her, how could she. . . he loved her so much. . . he could have given his universe to her. . . he could have given his kingdom to her. . . he gave his heart to her. . . yet she tossed it around like a rag doll. . .

No. . . she did not deserve him. . .

He looked up at the dark, never-ending sky and whispered, "I will never make a fool of myself again. . . I will never be weak. . . I am the prince. . . I am strong. . ."

Trunks wiped tears away from his face, he looked at the apple tree and yelled, "I WILL NEVER, EVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN!!!" ~End of Prologue~
