"talking" song lyrics

Come Home Soon

I put away the groceries

And I take my daily bread

I dream of your arms around me

As I tuck the kids in bed

Melanie Son was sitting in the Briefs' living room when she thought that Trunks had come down the stairs. But being Melanie, she didn't say anything to him. She couldn't help but think what kind of a jerk Trunks was being. She stayed glued to the television until he sat down next to her on the couch.

"Can I help you with something?"

"No Trunks you can't."

"Why?" He was really confused.

"Why! What a stupid question! You need to go to Pan and tell her that you're sorry!" Melanie angrily said.

"You probably have me confused. I'm Mirai Trunks not…"

"I'm so sorry." Melanie said. She was really embarrassed.

"Don't worry about it. I heard what he did. Call me Rai."

"Melanie. I'm just hanging out here while my mom is bitching Goten out."

"Wait a minute…Your Goku's daughter?" Rai asked not really believing it.

"Yep….that's me."

"How though? Shouldn't you be Goten's age?"

"Nope….actually born fourteen years after Goten. I've never met my father, but he's apparently been here."

"That's really weird."

"Yep, you're telling me."

They both sat there talking, neither one of them really cared. About two hours later, a little boy came running down the stairs.

"Daddy!" a little boy with black hair and midnight blue eyes said.

"Hey Geta, what are you doing?"

"I woke up."

"Oh…..ok." Rai paused. "Geta meet Melanie. Melanie meet my son, Geta."

"Hi Geta. How old are you?" Melanie asked.

Geta held up two fingers and said, "This many."

"That's cool." Melanie paused. "You wanna know how old I am?" Geta nodded. "I'm twenty-two."

"That's old."

"Not really. My brother's are thirty-six and forty-eight." Melanie said as she picked him up.

They all ended up watching some stupid kid show. To Melanie it was really boring. She knew though that she had to enjoy it. Finally after an hour, Geta went to play in his room.

Melanie got up and went to the kitchen to get something to drink. Her mind was trying to figure out why she was feeling so weird. It wasn't like she didn't know how he felt. Melanie knew that she was falling for him. And that's what scared her the most.

"You've been in here for twenty minutes." Rai said.

"Oh…sorry. I got to daydreaming."

"It's fine. You're the first person that my son has liked."

"I feel special."

"You should. He doesn't know this, but he isn't normal."

"Why?" Melanie asked.

Rai didn't say anything and left the room. Melanie knew that something had to be wrong. So she followed him up to his room. When she got there, she sat on his bed.

"You know about how my timeline was rampaged by the androids?"

"Yep, I do. That was Gohan's favorite story to tell."

"Well…I thought that I had destroyed them both, but apparently 18 had lived. About three years ago….." Rai paused. "I don't know if it's possible, but….well….I didn't want it."

"You weren't?"

"Yep…I was….by 18. She mothered my child for I think eight months. One day I found him in a basket on my porch. I know for a fact that she couldn't have lived through the pregnancy. But I wasn't sure. So the day I found him….I left."

"That's so sad. I couldn't imagine if that happened to me. What s his name then?"

"Gohan Vegeta Briefs. But Geta for short."

"Awww….thats so cool. I know how that feels, but just a little."

"Why?"

"Bra and Goten had their baby when she was a junior in high school. Damn was Trunks, Vegeta, and Bulma pissed. Trunks got over it."

"Then why is Goten at your mom's house?"

"Because that's where Bra and Goten live. Bulma and Vegeta kicked her out when they found out."

"I don't understand why they would do that."

"Because Bra was never suppose to happen. The only one that ever loved her in the family was Trunks."

"I would hate that. I can't imagine how that would feel."

"Well…Goten and Bra finally got enough money to get married."

"Didn't Trunks wanna help?"

"Yeah…but they wouldn't let him. This time they are having an actual wedding. The first one they eloped."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Goten wanted to be married before the baby was born."

"That's so sweet. He would do that?"

"Yep, he loved her more then anything in the world."

They both sat there not wanting to move. They didn't know what to except. Before they know it, they whole day had passed.

Melanie got up off his bed and said, "I hafta go. I'm supposed to watch Marina for them."

"All right….Listen would you care if I asked you to go with me tomorrow nite."

"Why?"

"Because it's some formal event that mom is throwing and I really don't want to go by myself."

"I guess I could. So it is really formal or just formal?" Melanie asked.

"What's the difference?" Rai asked being confused.

"Really formal when you dress up in very expensive dresses…."

"That one." Rai stated cutting her off.

"Well then I guess Mariana and I are going shopping."

"I'm sorry that it was last minute."

"Don't worry just call Pan and tell her to meet me at my house. I'll get everything figured out with Bra."

"Ok. Bye."

"Bye." Melanie said as she jumped from his window and flew off.

Melanie could only thing about what was happening between her and Rai during her fight home. No one would know what to do, so there really was no point in asking. When Melanie got home, she went inside to find Bra. She was in her room getting ready.

"Bra can I ask you a question?" Melanie asked.

"Sure…if you want." Bra opened the door and let Melanie in. "Does this dress look ok on me?"

"Yes, it does, but why do you care?" Melanie asked being confused because Bra also had a question.

"Because this is our first big date in a year." Bra stated.

"It's fine." Melanie said. Because in all honestly any dress usually looks good on her.

"What's your question?" Bra asked as she was straightening her short black dress.

"I think that I might like Rai." Melanie said.

"That isn't a question." Bra said as she was finishing her make-up.

"I know. He asked me to your mom's big fancy formal event. I dunno if it's a real date or just a friendly thing." Melanie said. She was really confused and needed someone's help.

"Sweetie, I would say a date. I mean that's what I would think. From what Pan says, Rai sounds really sweet." Bra said as she turned around.

"Ok….so you think that it'll be ok for me to take Mariana shopping?"

"Yeah…Pan's already called."

"Good. I'm not sure if I should go." Melanie said as she sat on the bed.

"I that you should because Rai would be good for you." Bra said knowing full well that Rai was Melanie's crush.

"How would you know? I mean you haven't met him."

"It wouldn't matter. He is basically like Trunks, so he can't be that bad."

"Good point."

Goten eventually came in and kissed Bra. He eventually realized that Melanie was in the room.

"Hey baby sis….what's up?" Goten asked as he put his hand in his hair and flashed the Son smile.

"Nothing….should I got to the formal event with Rai?"

"Duh…." Goten said. "You should. I was just over there looking for Trunks and I saw Rai. He told me that he's really looking forward to tomorrow night. Melanie I'm pretty sure that he likes you."

"You're sure?" Goten nodded. "Great. Just great. This sucks."

"Mellie, what's wrong with it?" Goten asked as he sat next to her on the bed.

"I don't want to fall in love and get hurt again. It's too much work for me. I give everything I have and six months later I get dumped. I can't do it. I would rather be friends then having my heart broken."

"First of all, Mellie, Rai is nothing like Eric was. That guy was just a jerk. Rai is way too nice and sweet for his own good. If a relationship should happen, then let it. I doubt he would eve do anything to hurt you."

"Just call him and talk for a little bit. I'm sure that Pan is going to be late."

"You're sure that I should call him. I mean what would I say?"

"I don't know. But you'll know what to say. We're going to go. Mom is staying home tonight, so you don't have to watch Mariana."

"All right. You and Bra have fun on your little date."

Goten and Melanie talked as they walked down the stairs. They couldn't believe that after all these years they could still talk to each other.

Melanie was so happy that she didn't have to watch a hyper five-year-old. Melanie headed upstairs to her room. When she got there, she sat on her bed and starred at her phone. After about five minutes of starring at it, she picked it up and dialed the Briefs' number. It ran four or five times before someone picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hi is Rai there?" Melanie asked.

"Sure…hold on…."

Melanie heard the phone being sat down, and heard Bulma and Vegeta yelling at each other. Then about five minutes later, the phone was picked up.

"Hey Rai, what's up?" Melanie asked and then kicked herself for sounding so stupid.

"Nothing really. Are you backing out of tomorrow night?"

"No, I'm not. I was just wondering what time I was supposed to be there."

"I dunno….probably six. I think that would be an ok time." Rai paused. "Oh, I talked to Goten today."

"Yeah, he told me." Melanie said as she unconsciously smiled.

"You really don't look like him. I think that he told me to call you."

"Funny. He told me the same thing." Melanie replied trying not to giggle.

"That hilarious. Goten is going to watch Geta for me tomorrow. He really likes you. Actually I think that he just might adore you…."

"Rai I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I need to know are we friends or what?"

"It's ok. I actually was thinking about that too. I would like to at least be friends. I mean it can always go form there. I'm not even the least bit ready for a relationship yet. I mean between my mom wanting me to run Capsule Corp and my son, my time is really full."

"Well so you wanna run Capsule Corp?"

"Not really. But I will for my mom. I know she needs a break. And besides I would be like vice-president or something because Trunks is still in control of the company."

"Good point."

"Yeah….I have to go. I normally take Geta flying right now."

"Ok. Have fun. I'll talk to you tomorrow then. Bye." Melanie said as she looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:30 pm.

"Bye."
