One Day…
By: Phoenix of Blood Red Mars
Prologue:
"WHAT!?
What do you mean ChiChi's having her baby!?" yelled Bulma Briefs into
the phone. Goku's voice came shakily,
yet excitedly, from the other end.
"Yeah! Get over
here quick!" The powerful Saiya-jin
hung up.
"Vegeta! Get your
butt over here NOW!" Bulma
yelled, hammering on the door of the gravity room as she held a one-year-old
baby in her arms. Bulma had quickly
grabbed the baby Trunks and one of her capsules containing a hover car and ran
to get her husband from training.
"Vegeta!" The door slammed open.
"What is it woman?
Can't you see I'm training!?" Vegeta
demanded, his temper rising. Bulma
ignored this, grabbing her husband's arm and dragging him to the car.
"ChiChi's having her baby! We have to go to the hospital!"
Vegeta vainly tried to pull his arm away, but when Bulma wanted to, she
could have almost the same strength as a Saiya-jin.
"Woman! I'm not
going to see some babies being born! I
don't want to see a brat of Kakarott's anyway!"
"You are going, Vegeta, even if I have to get Gohan to
come over and help."
"That brat couldn't force me!" And they argued back and forth all the way to the hospital.
Gohan paced in the waiting room. How long did having a baby take?
He winced as he heard his mother's screams from the birthing room.
"Damn you Goku!
Why did I have to do this again!?
Aughhhhh! I hate you Goku!" Slap! Goku walked out of the birthing room, his hand pressed to a red
cheek.
"Gohan, I'm going to recommend you right now to never get
married."
"Yeah Dad. How's
Mom?" Goku sat down in a chair and
sighed.
"It's going as well as could be expected, son."
"So what in the hell are you doing out here if she's still
in labor!?" Bulma demanded as she
rushed into the waiting room, dragging Vegeta along and being followed by the
other Z-Fighters. "Get your @$$ in gear
and get in there!"
"She doesn't want me in there," Goku explained, motioning
to his fire engine red cheek. Steam
started to come out of her ears, and fire roared in her eyes.
"All women want their husbands there, whether they can
admit it or not! It's called reverse
psychology, you dimwit! Get in there
and help her!"
"Remember, she did the exact same thing when Gohan was
born, Goku. She loves you, but she's
just in a lot of pain right now," Krillin added.
"How would you know?" questioned Tien. Krillin laughed nervously and pointed at
Janet, the former Android 18, who held a month-old baby girl.
"I'll never forget that," chuckled Piccolo. "She almost threw you out of the hospital,
literally." Goku left them to talk as
he slipped back into the birthing room.
ChiChi lay back exhausted an hour later on her bed, still
panting for breath. She had brought not
one, but TWO, lives into the world in a matter of a few hours, and she
was DAMN proud of herself. Goku
squeezed her hand, letting her know he was still there.
"I'm sorry for what I said Goku, I didn't mean it. I forgot that I cooperated with you. Who knew we were going to have twins?" ChiChi apologized. Goku laughed.
"It's alright. I
thought the doctor told you you were only going to have a boy," Goku
replied. ChiChi shrugged.
A nurse walked in, holding a baby in each arm. "You feeling better, Son-san?" ChiChi nodded. "That's good. Here are
your little ones. There is something
strange about each one that you need to know.
The boy, Goten you named him?, has a brown… tail. The girl Usagi has a tail as well, which is
white, and a golden… crescent moon on her forehead."
ChiChi was normally a calm person, except for her famous
temper, but at this news… well, she fainted.
"ChiChi, wake up.
Come on sweetie, it's no big deal.
Wake up," Goku pleaded with her unconscious form as he leaned her body.
"Son-san, do you want us to remove the tails and crescent
moon?" The nurse asked, hesitantly. Goku almost lost his balance from shock.
"Heck no! It's
perfectly alright!" He exclaimed.
"Are you sure?" asked the nurse, raising an eyebrow and
hiding a smile.
"Yes, totally. Are
my friends allowed in now?" The nurse
shook her head and handed the baby boy to Goku.
"No, not until we get her situated into a room. I'll get some smelling salts," the lady
said, brushing back a strand of dark green hair that fell out of a bun. Carrying the baby girl with her, the nurse
walked out of the room. I apologize,
she thought, for taking your daughter away.
But she's needed in another dimension.
Usagi was born in the wrong one.
Maybe your family will be reunited one day. It all depends on your daughter's choices.
The nurse walked into an empty bathroom, everyone's eyes
seeming to just pass over the nurse without even seeing her. She gave a Mona Lisa smile when she was able
to take off the nurse's jacket. "Usagi-hime,
your otousan and okaasan will miss you, but I have no choice. One day I'll tell you, and one day you'll
see. Pluto Crystal Power, Make Up!"
A swirl of stardust surrounded the 'nurse', and the lady
stood there in a Sailor fuku, black and red.
Her dark green hair went back to its normal hair style, top half of her
hair pulled back into a bun and the rest hanging free to past her knees. Wise garnet red eyes inspected the little
baby with silver hair and sapphire eyes as a gloved hand held a tall key. The Sailor Senshi sighed.
"I am Sailor Pluto, your Highness, the Guardian of the
Gates of Time and Space. And you?… You shall find out some day,
Usagi-hime. As of now, you are not Son
Usagi, but Tsukino Usagi, and you will reveal yourself to be your true form,
Moon Princess Serenity, then lastly Cosmos, ruler of the universe and the
dimensions. But that is in the future,
and you will not remember these words until it is time."
And Tsukino Usagi awoke from her dream.
